feat(daemon): image paste over remote sessions - #115
Merged
Conversation
In a 'kit remote' session, Ctrl-V previously reached the host TUI, which read the HOST's clipboard — so pasting images from the client machine silently did nothing. Now the client intercepts a bare Ctrl-V in the keystroke pump, reads the LOCAL clipboard (internal/clipboard: xclip/wl-paste/osascript) and streams the image to the daemon as chunked FrameClipboard frames (16 KiB chunks, final-chunk flag, media type in the first chunk; 32 MiB reassembly cap). When the clipboard holds no image the keystroke is forwarded verbatim, preserving host-side Ctrl-V behavior. The daemon reassembles the transfer, writes it to a tempfile with the media-derived extension, and injects @"<tempfile>" into the session child's PTY input — the standard @-attachment pipeline then handles MIME detection, preview and multimodal submission; the operator just presses Enter. Tempfiles are removed when the session ends. The sidecar needs no changes: unknown frame types are relayed verbatim in both directions, like DATA/RESIZE. Verified end to end on loopback: Wayland clipboard image -> client chunks -> daemon tempfile -> @-reference in the session input -> '[1 file(s) attached]' on submit; tempfile removed on /quit. Unit tests cover chunk round-trips, oversized transfers, truncated headers, empty images, maxPayload bounds and extension mapping.

revalidate under t.mu that t.sessions[session] still equals s before appending
to t.sessionTemps[session]. If the session was removed or replaced by
closeSession, remove path and return instead of recreating the tempfile list;
preserve the existing append behavior for the active session.

- sidecar: secret_material takes the calling mode's flag name — serve can no longer silently substitute a pairing or client seed for its own identity when a stray sibling flag is present - daemon: handleClipboardChunk takes ctx and checks cancellation first (tempfile + PTY writes can block) - daemon: close the clipboards/session-lookup race — closeSession runs on child-exit goroutines while chunks arrive on the frame loop; all map access now happens under t.mu, the tempfile registers only after re-validating the session under the lock, and stragglers are removed instead of leaking
Over 'kit remote', the host TUI enables the kitty keyboard protocol on the user's terminal through the PTY (Bubble Tea v2 always sets disambiguation, and kit adds report-event-types). In that mode a Ctrl-V keypress arrives as 'CSI 118 ; 5 u' (press) and 'CSI 118 ; 5 : 3 u' (release) instead of the legacy 0x16 byte, so the client's clipboard interception never fired and image paste silently did nothing — the host TUI then read the host's clipboard. Add keyScanner, an incremental CSI-u/legacy decoder on the client's stdin stream: Ctrl-V presses/repeats are detected in both encodings (and legacy 0x16), the matching release is swallowed after an intercepted press, and every other byte — mouse reports, bracketed paste, plain keys, other CSI sequences, sequences split across reads — is forwarded byte-identical. Verified on two hosts: capture harness confirmed the wire encoding from a real kitty window; a plain (non-tmux) kitty window running 'kit remote' against violet's daemon pasted the local Wayland clipboard image — tempfile written, @-reference injected, attach logged.

Address the CodeRabbit re-review findings on the client key scanner: - a lone Escape is flushed as passthrough when the next read arrives — it previously stayed in the partial-sequence buffer forever, eating the user's Esc key in remote sessions - a CSI sequence exceeding maxCSILen without a final byte is flushed as malformed passthrough instead of buffering without bound - an unhandled CSI sequence no longer drops the byte following it (the final byte was consumed twice: once by the decoder, once by the loop) - paste and release events carry their original wire bytes and the scanner never decides suppression: the client marks the matching release for suppression only after an image interception actually succeeded, so a text-only clipboard still forwards the full Ctrl-V Regression tests: lone-Escape flush, oversize CSI flush with recovery, no byte loss after unhandled sequences, event byte fidelity.

Address the CodeRabbit re-review: flushing the pending Escape at the next Feed broke a CSI sequence whose read boundary falls right after ESC (e.g. ESC read, then [118;5u) — the paste detection was lost. The pending lone Escape now flushes only after escIdleFlush (50ms) of silence, the standard ttimeoutlen approach: a genuine standalone Esc key press is followed by human-scale silence, while a sequence split across reads continues composing. Regression tests cover both the idle flush and the split-after-ESC detection.

The @-reference injection attached the image on submit but showed no preview: input-area thumbnails come from the TUI's pendingImages state, which only the Ctrl-V handler fills. Give the remote-session child its own Ctrl-V instead: the daemon now sets KIT_REMOTE_CLIPBOARD on the child (a stable per-session file) and, when a client clipboard image arrives, atomically rewrites that file and injects a synthetic 0x16 into the child's PTY. The child's normal Ctrl-V handler reads the file through clipboard.ReadImage (new dispatcher: remote-session children serve the client's streamed image, everyone else reads the local system clipboard) and produces the same pendingImages preview a local paste gets. A clear frame (the client had no image) empties the file; the client swallows the keystroke. Verified on loopback: ctrl+v over 'kit remote' now shows '1 image(s) attached · ctrl+u to clear' with the half-block thumbnail in the input area, the message submits with the image, and the clipboard file is removed at session end.
) Address the CodeRabbit re-review: the lone-Escape flush only ran on the next stdin read, so an Esc pressed into an idle remote session stayed buffered indefinitely — the PTY never received it. Restructure the client's input pump around a reader goroutine and a select: a 50ms idle timer flushes the pending Escape (and any future idle-pending bytes) without a follow-up keystroke. PendingEscape/ FlushPendingEscape expose the state on the scanner; regression tests cover both the idle flush and a CSI sequence split right after ESC.

feat(daemon): image paste over remote sessions
Description
In a
kit remotesession,Ctrl-Vpreviously reached the host TUI, whichread the host's clipboard via
internal/clipboard— so pasting imagesfrom the client machine silently did nothing (headless hosts have no image
clipboard at all).
Fix, per the proposed design:
Ctrl-Vin its keystroke pump and readsthe local machine's clipboard (
internal/clipboard: xclip /wl-paste / osascript). With an image present it streams the bytes to the
daemon as chunked
FrameClipboardframes (16 KiB chunks, final-chunkflag, media type carried in the first chunk, 32 MiB reassembly cap).
With no image the keystroke is forwarded verbatim, preserving host-side
Ctrl-Vbehavior (e.g. quoted-insert in an embedded shell).with the media-derived extension, and injects
@"<tempfile>"into thesession child's PTY input. The standard
@-attachment pipeline(
ProcessFileAttachmentsresolves absolute paths, detects the MIME typevia magic bytes, extracts a binary FilePart) then handles preview and
multimodal submission — the operator just presses Enter.
