What

psmux sessions now live in a per-project registry: bmad-loop derives a root from the project and the state root, points PSMUX_DATA_DIR at it before any psmux spawn, and names the control session per registry.

Why

Fixes #537, the last open child of #660. Before this, every project's sessions shared one user-wide psmux registry under %USERPROFILE%\.psmux — a roaming location whose port files are meaningless on another host, shared with the operator's own psmux sessions, and the source of the cross-suite contention the live tests already had to isolate around.

How

  • Derive, never adopt. The root is a pure function of (project, resolved state root). An ambient PSMUX_DATA_DIR is overridden and reported once on stderr — honouring it would make the registry a function of the shell a command happened to start in.
  • Name the control session per registry. psmux keys its duplicate-server mutex on the session name, in the per-login-session Local\ object namespace, not on PSMUX_DATA_DIR — filed upstream as the single-server name mutex ignores PSMUX_DATA_DIR, so two registries cannot both hold a session of the same name — including __warm__ (3.3.8/master) psmux/psmux#599. With one fixed name, every project's launch but the first fails. Unchanged on tmux, where the shared session is still correct.
  • Migrate rather than strand. cleanup also sweeps the old default registry for tagged pre-upgrade sessions and names whatever it declined to remove. Ownership tightens wherever the registry addressed is not one bmad-loop derived.
  • Reserve the control-session shape in --run-id — such an id would otherwise hand a run the live control session as its own agent session. Windows minted under the old rule stay parsable, so cleanup still reaches them.

Testing

Full suite at this box's baseline (9 failed / 6634 passed / 245 skipped — all environmental: skill-sync drift, symlink WinError 1314, one measured live-psmux xdist flake). ruff clean; pyright at the pre-existing 7-error platform_util.py baseline; live psmux + portability guard 93 passed, leaving zero psmux.exe processes and an empty default registry. Every psmux claim in the change is source-read at v3.3.8 or measured against the installed binary; tmux 3.4 under WSL was used as the parity oracle.

Changelog

Added under ## [Unreleased].


Scope — what was deliberately left out

This is worth reading before asking why the PR does not go further. Three questions were opened during review, measured, and cut or deferred rather than guessed at; each gets its own issue.

  • An ambient PSMUX_DATA_DIR is not honoured. Two operators can produce byte-identical environments with opposite intent — one typed the value in a shell, one exports it from a profile — and the correct answer is opposite for each. The environment cannot distinguish them, so the branch stopped trying and derives unconditionally.
  • PSMUX_BARE_ENV=1 is unsupported, warned once per process. Surviving it needed an env transport through the multiplexer seam; psmux's own source frames that mode as the user opting out of env inheritance.
  • tmux's stale state root is untouched. A long-lived tmux server propagates the environment it started with; measured to exist on main unchanged by this branch.

Two further limitations are owned in code rather than fixed here: live_session_may_be_ours keeps main's deliberate degrade (its docstring argues the case, and a strengthening attempt was built and withdrawn during review), and the per-registry control-session name is a workaround with an upstream owner — it should be retired behind a version gate once a psmux release carries the psmux/psmux#599 fix.

Compatibility

The multiplexer seam's released signatures are unchanged; the four new seam methods are non-abstract with tmux-shaped defaults, so a backend built against the released contract keeps working. cleanup --json gains one additive field, per machine.py's stated additive-only policy. --run-id narrows: ids of the reserved control-session shape are refused, with the reason named.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Walkthrough

The change adds project-scoped psmux registries, dynamic control-session names, state-root environment propagation, registry-aware cleanup, legacy-session reporting, and control-session alias protection across CLI and TUI flows.

Changes

Project-scoped multiplexer registry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry backend and transport contracts
src/bmad_loop/adapters/*, src/bmad_loop/adapters/psmux_backend.py, tests/test_psmux_backend.py, tests/test_psmux_live.py
Multiplexer contracts and the psmux backend now expose registry roots, legacy registries, name normalization, environment validation, and bare-environment warnings.
State-root environment propagation
src/bmad_loop/adapters/generic.py, src/bmad_loop/engine.py, src/bmad_loop/probe.py, tests/test_multiplexer.py, tests/test_engine.py, tests/test_probe.py
Sessions, windows, and probes now receive the resolved state root. Invalid or underivable values are removed.
Run identity and registry-aware lifecycle
src/bmad_loop/runs.py, tests/test_runs.py, tests/test_cleanup.py
Run-ID parsing rejects new control-session aliases. Liveness checks, pruning, ownership checks, and legacy cleanup use the selected multiplexer backend.
CLI safeguards and cleanup reporting
src/bmad_loop/cli.py, src/bmad_loop/documents.py, tests/test_cli.py
The CLI reports registry configuration, blocks unsafe resume and resolve operations, and reports legacy leftovers in text, dry-run, and JSON output.
TUI control-session integration
src/bmad_loop/tui/*, tests/test_tui_app.py, tests/test_tui_launch.py
TUI launch, attach, lookup, pruning, notifications, and mutation guards now use project-specific control-session names. Cleanup failures and legacy leftovers are reported without stopping the dashboard worker.
Registry and lifecycle documentation
README.md, docs/*, CHANGELOG.md, src/bmad_loop/envvars.py
Documentation describes registry derivation, environment propagation, cleanup behavior, transport hooks, Windows path rules, and control-session safeguards.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 315d8

This PR moves psmux sessions into per-project registries and expands cleanup and run-ID handling. It is not fully merge-ready until cleanup reliably reports results after partial failures; otherwise users may see sessions removed without an accurate completion result. Several bounded documentation and operator-guidance fixes also remain.

…DATA_DIR off non-psmux hosts

Addresses the PR review on bmad-code-org#728.

The migration sweep assumed every pre-upgrade machine used psmux's default
registry. One that never set PSMUX_DATA_DIR did — but the old backend simply
inherited the variable, so a machine whose operator exported an absolute root
kept its sessions there instead, and this branch is the change that stops
honouring that value. `legacy_registries()` offered only the default root, so
on such a machine stop, attach and cleanup each saw nothing while the coding
processes ran on, with cleanup reporting a clean sweep. The displaced value is
the only record of that registry and it stops existing the moment the export
lands, so it is captured exactly there and handed to the backend, which now
also binds an instance to a named root. Both passes were already tag-scoped
and stay that way: prune_sessions runs every legacy registry with
require_tag=True, so nothing is claimed on run-directory evidence in a
registry we do not own.

The export also fired on transports that never read it. On a tmux host it
replaced the operator's PSMUX_DATA_DIR and announced a psmux registry, and
because the value lives in the process environment so children inherit it, a
tmux server cold-started here passed the replacement to every coding-CLI pane
— `psmux ls` typed in one of those windows would look at bmad-loop's registry
instead of the operator's own sessions. It is now gated on the seam's
has_registry_namespace(), with the residual named in the code: an out-of-tree
backend namespacing through some other variable would still see it.

That gate exposed four registry-disclosure tests that never pinned a backend
and so read the host's default — exercising the export on win32 and nothing at
all on Linux. A force_psmux_backend fixture pins them, mirroring the tmux one.

Test-hygiene fixes from the same review: two prune stubs returned a tuple where
engine_liveness returns a str, which made every comparison false and left the
unknown-pid arm of the legacy pass unfalsifiable — corrected, and that arm plus
its live sibling now have graders of their own. Six cleanup invocations passed
a ProjectPaths repr to --project. A probe ablation note named a mutation that
does not exist (pinned_state_env rather than pin_state_root). The porting guide
said three rules above four bullets.

The changelog's reserved-shape line was ambiguous but the suggested wording
would have been wrong: the mint refuses `ctl` and every `ctl-<anything>`
(is_reserved_run_id), which is deliberately broader than the `ctl-<16 hex>`
alias shape the read paths use. Both lines now say which question they answer.

…lly in

Addresses the second review round on bmad-code-org#728.

The previous commit widened what the migration sweep addresses — psmux's
default registry and any absolute PSMUX_DATA_DIR this process displaced — and
left the operator-facing message describing the narrower world it replaced. An
operator whose pre-upgrade sessions are in their own exported root was told
they were in psmux's default, sent to look somewhere they are not, and pointed
at documentation about a registry that is not theirs. Both the cleanup stderr
line and its TUI toast had it.

legacy_registry_leftovers now groups by registry rather than returning a flat
list, and the frontends print one line each. Grouping rather than listing the
swept roots alongside a flat list: the cheaper shape names registries that
contributed nothing, which is the same wrong errand in miniature. Registries
holding nothing are absent from the mapping for the same reason. The key is
registry_root()'s answer, or a shared label where that is None — psmux's own
default, whose home cascade the seam deliberately never respells. The
schema-versioned cleanup --json field keeps its documented list of names; the
grouping serves the text mode, which has room to say where.

The multiplexer guide said pre-upgrade sessions are in the default registry and
told the reader to open a shell with no PSMUX_DATA_DIR set. That covers one of
the two pre-upgrade worlds; it now covers both, and points at the leftovers
line as the thing that says which.

Also hoists a test's reset of the backend's displaced-root global above the
export that writes it, so monkeypatch records the true pre-test value, and
splits the case that needed a second mid-body reset into its own test. The
global did not in fact leak — the autouse registry-isolation fixture registers
the same reset first and undo is LIFO, measured both ways with a sentinel — but
a test whose hygiene rests on the undo ordering of a fixture in another file is
one edit away from being wrong.

1193-1197: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve partial cleanup results when a later registry fails.

runs.prune_sessions kills sessions from the primary registry before it iterates legacy registries. If a later registry raises MultiplexerError or UnicodeError, this handler returns after earlier sessions were already killed. It then skips control-window cleanup and emits no removal summary, so the TUI cannot report what completed.

Make runs.prune_sessions return partial results and errors, or carry completed removals in the raised error. Report completed work and the failed registry separately.

In the supplied src/bmad_loop/runs.py pruning contract, the primary registry is processed before legacy registries.

Run and record both required ablations.

Removing _blocked_by_control_alias from _do_replan can reach reset_spec_status and resume_detached, so both empty assertions can fail. Removing it from _do_rearm can reach rearm_escalation, so rearms == [] can fail. Record each failing ablation in the test docstring.

Derive the registry root from the project and the state root and export
PSMUX_DATA_DIR before any psmux spawn, so a prune in one project cannot
address another project's servers at all. An ambient value is overridden
and reported once, because honouring it would make the registry a function
of the shell a command happened to start in.

Name the control session per registry. psmux keys its duplicate-server
mutex on the session name in the per-login-session Local\ object namespace
rather than on PSMUX_DATA_DIR (psmux/psmux#599), so one fixed name would
fail every project's launch but the first. Unchanged on tmux, where the
shared session is still correct.

Sweep the old default registry during cleanup for tagged pre-upgrade
sessions, and name whatever it still holds afterwards. Demand the project
tag whenever the registry being addressed is not one bmad-loop derived.

Refuse the reserved control-session shape in --run-id, which would
otherwise hand a run the live control session as its own agent session.
Windows minted under the old rule stay parsable, so cleanup still reaches
them.

Closes bmad-code-org#537
Refs bmad-code-org#660
…DATA_DIR off non-psmux hosts

Addresses the PR review on bmad-code-org#728.

The migration sweep assumed every pre-upgrade machine used psmux's default
registry. One that never set PSMUX_DATA_DIR did — but the old backend simply
inherited the variable, so a machine whose operator exported an absolute root
kept its sessions there instead, and this branch is the change that stops
honouring that value. `legacy_registries()` offered only the default root, so
on such a machine stop, attach and cleanup each saw nothing while the coding
processes ran on, with cleanup reporting a clean sweep. The displaced value is
the only record of that registry and it stops existing the moment the export
lands, so it is captured exactly there and handed to the backend, which now
also binds an instance to a named root. Both passes were already tag-scoped
and stay that way: prune_sessions runs every legacy registry with
require_tag=True, so nothing is claimed on run-directory evidence in a
registry we do not own.

The export also fired on transports that never read it. On a tmux host it
replaced the operator's PSMUX_DATA_DIR and announced a psmux registry, and
because the value lives in the process environment so children inherit it, a
tmux server cold-started here passed the replacement to every coding-CLI pane
— `psmux ls` typed in one of those windows would look at bmad-loop's registry
instead of the operator's own sessions. It is now gated on the seam's
has_registry_namespace(), with the residual named in the code: an out-of-tree
backend namespacing through some other variable would still see it.

That gate exposed four registry-disclosure tests that never pinned a backend
and so read the host's default — exercising the export on win32 and nothing at
all on Linux. A force_psmux_backend fixture pins them, mirroring the tmux one.

Test-hygiene fixes from the same review: two prune stubs returned a tuple where
engine_liveness returns a str, which made every comparison false and left the
unknown-pid arm of the legacy pass unfalsifiable — corrected, and that arm plus
its live sibling now have graders of their own. Six cleanup invocations passed
a ProjectPaths repr to --project. A probe ablation note named a mutation that
does not exist (pinned_state_env rather than pin_state_root). The porting guide
said three rules above four bullets.

The changelog's reserved-shape line was ambiguous but the suggested wording
would have been wrong: the mint refuses `ctl` and every `ctl-<anything>`
(is_reserved_run_id), which is deliberately broader than the `ctl-<16 hex>`
alias shape the read paths use. Both lines now say which question they answer.
…lly in

Addresses the second review round on bmad-code-org#728.

The previous commit widened what the migration sweep addresses — psmux's
default registry and any absolute PSMUX_DATA_DIR this process displaced — and
left the operator-facing message describing the narrower world it replaced. An
operator whose pre-upgrade sessions are in their own exported root was told
they were in psmux's default, sent to look somewhere they are not, and pointed
at documentation about a registry that is not theirs. Both the cleanup stderr
line and its TUI toast had it.

legacy_registry_leftovers now groups by registry rather than returning a flat
list, and the frontends print one line each. Grouping rather than listing the
swept roots alongside a flat list: the cheaper shape names registries that
contributed nothing, which is the same wrong errand in miniature. Registries
holding nothing are absent from the mapping for the same reason. The key is
registry_root()'s answer, or a shared label where that is None — psmux's own
default, whose home cascade the seam deliberately never respells. The
schema-versioned cleanup --json field keeps its documented list of names; the
grouping serves the text mode, which has room to say where.

The multiplexer guide said pre-upgrade sessions are in the default registry and
told the reader to open a shell with no PSMUX_DATA_DIR set. That covers one of
the two pre-upgrade worlds; it now covers both, and points at the leftovers
line as the thing that says which.

Also hoists a test's reset of the backend's displaced-root global above the
export that writes it, so monkeypatch records the true pre-test value, and
splits the case that needed a second mid-body reset into its own test. The
global did not in fact leak — the autouse registry-isolation fixture registers
the same reset first and undo is LIFO, measured both ways with a sentinel — but
a test whose hygiene rests on the undo ordering of a fixture in another file is
one edit away from being wrong.
The legacy-leftovers reader asked two questions with answers that are not
global, and `stop`'s registry scope went unstated where the docs send an
operator to it.

The control-session shape test read the name as spelled, so a legacy
`bmad-loop-CTL-<16 hex>` — the control session itself on a store that opens
names case-insensitively — missed that branch, fell through the agent-session
parser (which refuses every ctl-aliasing id, case-folded) and went unreported
by both arms. A blanket fold is not the fix: on a case-sensitive transport the
same name is a distinct session bmad-loop cannot have minted, and naming it
would point the operator at somebody else's. Ask the bound registry through
`session_name_key`, which is where that answer lives.

The dry-run exclusion took the prune's flat plan, which unions every pass, so
a would-kill in the primary registry silenced a same-named session in a legacy
one that the legacy pass — running with `require_tag=True` — deliberately
cannot claim: a preview disagreeing with the cleanup it previews. Scope it to
the tagged-ours arm, the only arm that registry's own pass can announce from.
No per-registry plan is threaded down: liveness comes from the run directory,
one per (project, run id), so an id the primary pass judged dead the legacy
pass judges dead too.

`stop` is left as it is, and now says so. Its two channels address the engine
process, not a session, so a pre-upgrade run stops wherever it lives; only the
backstop session kill is registry-scoped, and widening that would be a by-name
kill without tag proof in a registry shared with other projects — including the
displaced ambient root, which is per environment, not per project. `cleanup`'s
legacy pass is the path that reaches such a session.
Automatic backend selection probes psmux availability before returning its
cached instance. An empty or relative ambient PSMUX_DATA_DIR therefore made
the failed version probe stick for the process even after the derived root
was exported; probe with the derived root first, then perform the normal
export for a namespaced transport. Restore the ambient value when the
selected transport has no registry namespace, so tmux and other
namespace-less backends do not spend psmux's variable.

The legacy refusal-gate ablation changed require_tag=True to False and the
targeted test failed with legacy.killed == ['bmad-loop-dup']; the gate was
restored. Document stop --project <that project> <run-id> because cmd_stop
resolves --project, defaulting to the current directory.

The seam ceiling remains explicit: has_registry_namespace() is the only
question; backends using another variable are outside this seam, and a
finer question is not justified before such a backend exists.

The Windows py3.11 CI cell failed one test,
test_export_records_the_root_it_displaced_for_the_migration_sweep, asserting
_DISPLACED_ROOT is None after an export that demonstrably wrote it. The export
path is not implicated: the test read the answer off a different module object.

test_a_failed_builtin_import_leaves_the_seeding_retryable evicts
bmad_loop.adapters.psmux_backend from sys.modules and lets the retry re-import
it for real. That re-execution rebinds psmux_backend on the parent package
object as well as in sys.modules, and monkeypatch.undo() restores only the
sys.modules entry. For the rest of the worker the two spellings disagree:
`from bmad_loop.adapters import psmux_backend` is a getattr on the package and
answers the new module, while `from bmad_loop.adapters.psmux_backend import x`
resolves through sys.modules and answers the original. The victim test, and
conftest's _isolate_mux_registry fixture with it, reset and asserted the new
module's global while export_psmux_registry_root wrote the original's.

Fixed at the leak rather than at the victim, so every later reader of the
package attribute is correct -- the fixture included, since its whole job is
keeping that global out of the cross-test environment. Same hazard and same fix
as the bmad_loop.tui subtree eviction in tests/test_tui_app.py.

Nothing under src/ changes. Ablating the pin reproduces the CI assertion exactly
when the two tests run in that order; restored, the pair passes. No permanent
sentinel test: one is order-dependent under pytest-randomly, and a self-contained
replay of the eviction cannot redden if the pin is deleted from the real test.
