Scope

Implements Spec 003 / T052 only.

  • bind WSL terminal launch to an explicitly selected distribution and exact system wsl.exe
  • use a fixed exact /bin/sh launch target for the first T052 WSL profile
  • bind profile identity to execution domain, exact launcher, exact shell executable, shell arguments, and explicit mapped-workspace-or-home-fallback cwd strategy
  • map the canonical Windows workspace root with wslpath, but do not treat path conversion alone as equivalence
  • attest effective WSL cwd, WSL Git worktree root, WSL Git common directory, and exact Git HEAD against canonical Windows Git identity
  • strip inherited Git-context variables from WSL helper commands
  • record an explicit fallback-to-home resolution with the mapping failure reason when equivalence cannot be proven, and revalidate the fallback before use
  • revalidate distro/version/launcher/profile/canonical workspace identity at launch and mapped repository identity after ConPTY launch
  • on post-launch mapping failure, report owned-session termination only when termination is observed; otherwise report cleanup as unproven
  • reuse the T051 terminal controller through a private exact-launch seam without weakening native shell validation
  • extend the official Windows gate to compile/Clippy the T052 surface and run focused WSL launch unit tests

Safety boundaries

  • no shell-command telemetry or persistent shell-profile modification
  • no persistence/restart ownership (T053)
  • no CLI expansion (T057)
  • no claim that path-string conversion alone proves repository equivalence
  • no WSL Git/native Windows Git semantic mixing without explicit attestation
  • no process-global interrupt workaround; T051 Windows interrupt boundary remains unchanged
  • no daemon/public IPC/plugin/MCP/ACP/Agent Fleet behavior
  • no real Windows+WSL2 support claim until T062 integration evidence

Primary-source design basis

Microsoft-supported WSL surfaces are used for explicit distribution selection, working-directory selection, and Windows/Linux path translation. Winds does not hardcode /mnt/<drive> assumptions.

Exact-head acceptance evidence

Candidate head: fa9d9cb5031cccd1ee5d76097f247005c14d0904

  • quality #255: PASS on Ubuntu/macOS (fmt + Clippy + tests)
  • windows-terminal test(winds): add deterministic T059 negative fixtures #41: PASS on official windows-latest (fmt + locked all-target/all-feature compile + Clippy + T051 ConPTY lifecycle fixtures + focused T052 WSL launch unit tests)
  • release-candidate #115: PASS including Ubuntu/macOS quality, SC-001 100-cycle soak, Linux x86-64 and macOS arm64 release bundles/artifacts
  • final compare vs canonical base b4a0c8c28e94f0a9343cbbb5aeca19d1c60522ea: exactly 5 intended files; no temporary helper workflows in the final diff
  • final internal correctness/safety + Ponytail checkpoint: PASS after explicit FR-013 profile binding, Git-context stripping, launch-time plan revalidation, and truthful post-launch cleanup reporting
  • independent exact-head review requested; merge remains blocked until that review is clean and all inline threads are resolved

This PR does not satisfy T062 real Windows+WSL2 integration evidence and must not be cited as that proof.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for launching terminals through Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
    • WSL launches preserve the selected distribution, executable, arguments, and terminal size.
    • Git workspace locations are mapped into WSL when validated; otherwise, launches safely fall back to the Linux home directory.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Added validation for profiles, paths, distributions, and stale launch information.
    • Improved reliability by stopping sessions when post-launch checks fail and enforcing bounded command execution.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Windows WSL terminal launch support. The change defines launch plans and profiles, maps Git workspaces, validates WSL state, starts exact terminal commands, revalidates mapped workspaces, and adds Windows workflow coverage.

Changes

WSL terminal launch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Launch contracts and module wiring
src/wsl_launch.rs, src/git.rs, src/wsl.rs
Defines WSL launch plans, profiles, execution domains, cwd resolution, and launched-terminal data. Enables the module and exposes shared WSL helpers.
Launch validation and command primitives
src/wsl_launch.rs
Builds deterministic profile identifiers and WSL arguments. Validates distribution names, Linux paths, shell arguments, and command output. Adds bounded WSL command execution and path conversion.
Workspace mapping and launch preparation
src/wsl_launch.rs
Selects the WSL distribution, maps Windows and Linux workspace paths, attests matching Git identities, and prepares mapped-workspace or home-fallback launch plans.
Validated terminal execution
src/terminal.rs, src/wsl_launch.rs, .github/workflows/windows-terminal.yml
Adds exact terminal startup validation and WSL launch execution with post-start workspace revalidation. Adds launch tests and serialized Windows workflow coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13851

The PR can start a WSL shell before confirming that the selected directory matches the intended workspace and Git repository, which could open the terminal in the wrong project context. Merge should wait until this validation occurs before launch or the risk is explicitly accepted.

finding 1 — tampered host execution-domain fields are not rejected

Location: src/wsl_launch.rs:157-160

launch_wsl_terminal reconstructs the expected profile but compares only expected_profile.profile_id with plan.profile.profile_id. The plan’s execution_domain.host_os and host_arch fields are therefore mutable metadata: a caller can alter either field while retaining the original profile_id, and launch still succeeds. This violates the fail-closed stale/tampered-plan requirement and means the returned profile can claim a different execution domain from the one actually launched.

Compare the complete expected profile/domain (or explicitly validate host_os == "windows" and host_arch == std::env::consts::ARCH) rather than checking only the derived ID. The display name should likewise be treated as derived metadata if it is exposed as part of the plan.

Checks that passed

  • Selected distribution is rediscovered and passed explicitly to the system-directory wsl.exe; launcher path, shell, arguments, and cwd strategy are revalidated.
  • Profile ID includes execution domain, launcher, exact shell, shell arguments, and cwd strategy.
  • Workspace mapping is attested through effective WSL cwd, WSL worktree root, Git common directory, and exact HEAD against Windows Git’s canonical identity.
  • Helper commands remove the defined inherited Git-context variables.
  • Mapping fallback exposes the mismatch and revalidates the fallback home before launch.
  • Post-launch mapping failures terminate the owned session only after terminate() observes an exit; cleanup failures are reported as unproven.
  • The diff does not add T053 persistence, T054 telemetry, T057 CLI, T062 real Windows+WSL2 support, daemon/public protocol, plugin/MCP/ACP, or Agent Fleet scope.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Use WSL API (wslapi.dll) / Lxss registry for distro/paths
  • ➕ Avoids parsing and some subprocess calls to validate distribution identity
  • ➕ Potentially richer metadata (default distro, state)
  • ➖ Requires Windows FFI surface, increases complexity and maintenance burden
  • ➖ Still needs Git/workspace equivalence logic; does not eliminate attestation requirements
2. Rely on wslpath mapping only (skip Git attestation)
  • ➕ Much simpler implementation and fewer subprocesses
  • ➕ Faster launch preparation
  • ➖ Path-string conversion is not sufficient to prove repo/worktree equivalence (symlinks, mounts, redirects)
  • ➖ Higher risk of launching in the wrong repo context; contradicts stated safety boundaries
3. Defer all attestation until after ConPTY launch
  • ➕ Shorter preflight; user sees terminal faster
  • ➕ Post-launch validation can observe real runtime state
  • ➖ More sessions started only to be terminated on failure
  • ➖ Harder to provide a deterministic plan and to give clear reasons before launch

Recommendation: Keep the PR’s approach: explicit distro + exact system wsl.exe + fixed /bin/sh with a deterministic profile id and pre/post-launch workspace attestation. Given the safety boundaries (no path-only equivalence claims; no semantic mixing), the added validation and conservative fallback-to-home behavior is the most robust option despite extra complexity.

742-782: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add profile-identity assertions for the distribution name and version.

launch_wsl_terminal relies on profile_id to detect a changed execution domain at Line 157. The test varies only the shell and the arguments. Add cases that change distribution and version and assert that profile_id changes. This locks the FR-013 binding that the revalidation depends on.

WslExecutionDomain already derives Clone, so the struct-update syntax compiles.

Consider attesting the mapped workspace before the shell starts.

The code passes plan.cwd_resolution linux_workspace_root to --cd and starts the interactive shell first. It reattests the mapped workspace only after the session exists. If the plan is stale, the shell runs in an unintended Linux directory until fail_after_started_wsl_session terminates it.

The current flow is safe for this cohort because the plan is built in-process. When T053 persists plans, move attest_workspace before TerminalSession::start_exact_launch, or run it both before and after.

A regression test accepts display-name changes but rejects tampered host OS/architecture. Re-check the full T052 correctness/safety/spec criteria and report only still-actionable issues on this exact SHA.

I re-checked the supplied exact-head diff and the repaired profile validation path. The mutable host_os/host_arch issue is resolved; the fresh expected profile is used for both launch and the returned session metadata, and display_name is correctly treated as UX-only.

Still-actionable issues:

  • finding 1 — WSL reader thread leak: run_wsl_exec spawns two reader threads but does not retain or join them. On timeout, child.kill()/wait() is followed by an immediate return, and on either one-second recv_timeout failure it also returns without joining. If a WSL descendant retains stdout/stderr handles, those threads can remain blocked indefinitely. Retain the handles and join them during every cleanup path, or use a cancellation/pipe-draining design that guarantees reader termination.
  • finding 3 — truncation hides failure details: when stderr exceeds the 256 KiB cap, the function returns the generic bound error before decoding/reporting stderr. This is safe but loses potentially important command diagnostics. Include a bounded decoded stderr prefix (and an explicit truncation marker) in the returned error while preserving the cap.

finding 2 remains non-actionable for this head: the module is intentionally exposed as the T052 backend API, with callers deferred to T053/T057 as documented by the allowance.

TerminalSession::start_exact_launch starts the session at Line 184. The first mapped-workspace attestation runs at Line 210. A stale or tampered plan can therefore start /bin/sh in its recorded Linux directory before the code detects the repository mismatch and terminates it.

Attest linux_workspace_root, linux_git_common_dir, and git_head_oid before starting the session. Keep the post-launch attestation to detect a race after the pre-launch check.

@qodo-code-review please perform final exact-head review of 30f375b33d9388c2c1dab40b2e22c56316b1ae23 for Spec 003 / T052. Prior valid findings are repaired: (1) mutable host OS/arch metadata is rejected via full fresh-profile launch validation; (2) run_wsl_exec() no longer spawns detached reader threads—stdout/stderr pipe handles are owned and polled synchronously with Windows PeekNamedPipe, bounded capture, and no EOF wait after the direct launcher exits; (3) non-zero/truncation diagnostics preserve bounded stderr and stream-specific truncation markers; (4) mapped workspace/Git root/common-dir/HEAD attestation now runs immediately before ConPTY spawn and again after launch. The generic unused-abstraction rule is intentionally not addressed because T052 explicitly requires the backend launch surface while T057 separately owns CLI proof. Verify whether any actionable correctness/safety/active-spec issue remains on this exact SHA only.

code-review please perform final exact-head review of 30f375b33d9388c2c1dab40b2e22c56316b1ae23 for Spec 003 / T052.

The generic unused-abstraction rule is intentionally not addressed because T052 explicitly requires the backend launch surface while T057 separately owns CLI proof.

Reviewing the supplied 30f375b33d9388c2c1dab40b2e22c56316b1ae23 diff, I do not see a remaining actionable correctness or safety defect in the repaired WSL launch path:

  • run_wsl_exec() owns both pipe handles synchronously, bounds capture, preserves diagnostics, and terminates on timeout.
  • Fresh profile validation covers the host/domain metadata and launcher identity.
  • Workspace, Git root/common-dir, and HEAD attestation occurs both immediately before spawn and after launch.
  • The previously reported reader-thread leak and diagnostic truncation issues are addressed (finding 1 and finding 3).

The only remaining active item is finding 2: wsl_launch is still an unused production abstraction guarded by #[allow(dead_code)]. Your explanation makes that intentional for T052/T057 sequencing, but it remains an active spec/compliance issue under the review rule prohibiting unused abstractions. If T052 explicitly permits staging the backend surface before its T057 caller lands, then I find no other issue on this exact head.

@qodo-code-review please perform the final delta/exact-head review of 653a2ea40d200725006c1b468bc6bc8fcdd9f825. Since your clean 30f375b3... review, the only semantic delta hardens run_wsl_exec() so every owned-helper failure after spawn() (pipe capture, pipe read/poll, exit observation, timeout) attempts direct wsl.exe child cleanup and reports whether termination is proven; post-exit drain errors occur only after the child exit has already been observed. All temporary helper workflows are removed; final diff remains the five intended T052 files. Verify prior findings remain resolved and report any new actionable correctness/safety/active-spec issue only.

Final delta review: 653a2ea40d200725006c1b468bc6bc8fcdd9f825

No new actionable correctness, safety, or active-spec issue found in the stated delta.

  • run_wsl_exec() now attempts cleanup for every owned-helper failure after spawn(), including pipe capture, read/poll, exit observation, and timeout failures, and reports whether termination was proven.
  • The post-exit drain path runs only after try_wait() has observed process termination, so its ? path does not introduce a live-child leak.
  • Temporary workflows are absent from the supplied final diff; the five intended T052 files are the only changes shown.
  • Previously resolved findings remain resolved: finding 1 (reader thread leak) and finding 3 (truncation hides failure details).
  • finding 2 (wsl_launch has no production callers) remains the sole active finding; this delta does not change that condition, so it remains an active-spec concern rather than a newly introduced issue.
