Cloud-backed workspaces currently look like local workspaces in the left sidebar. This adds a compact cloud symbol to the title accessories, with a localized “Cloud workspace on ” tooltip and accessibility label.

The marker uses the existing authoritative Cloud machine identity for both managed transports and cmux-tui bindings. It remains present through disconnected, sleeping, and restored sessions, including when sidebar details are hidden. Both AppKit and SwiftUI rows use the same snapshot.

Closes #12291.

Validation in progress: behavior coverage for identical local/Cloud titles, session round trips, connection states, cell reuse, and narrow light/dark layouts. The first commit adds the failing coverage; implementation and tagged fleet build follow.


Note

Low Risk
UI and snapshot/observation plumbing only; no auth or data-path changes, with focused tests for layout, restore, and refresh behavior.

Overview
Cloud-backed workspaces now show a compact cloud icon on sidebar rows (SwiftUI and AppKit), so they are visually distinct from local workspaces without changing titles.

Identity comes from cloudWorkspaceLabel on the workspace snapshot, built from the authoritative cloudVMID with the new localized string "Cloud workspace on %@". That label drives the badge tooltip/help and is appended to the row accessibility label (position text unchanged). The marker is meant to stay visible across connection states, hidden sidebar details, session restore, and context-menu refresh, with cloudVMBinding wired into immediate sidebar observation so binding changes repaint promptly.

AppKit pin/mute accessories share a new NSImageView+SidebarWorkspaceAccessory helper; the cloud badge sits in a fixed trailing title slot so long titles still truncate correctly. Coverage lives in SidebarCloudWorkspaceBadgeTests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sidebar now identifies Cloud-backed workspaces with a cloud badge and accessibility label. Cloud identity propagates through observation and snapshot state, remains available during refresh and restoration, and is covered by AppKit and SwiftUI behavior tests.

Changes

Cloud workspace sidebar badge

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cloud identity and accessibility state
Sources/WorkspaceSidebarObservation.swift, Sources/SidebarWorkspaceSnapshotFactory.swift, Sources/SidebarWorkspaceSnapshotBuilder.swift, Sources/Sidebar/SidebarWorkspaceSnapshotRefreshPolicy.swift, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings
Sidebar state and snapshots now carry a stable cloudWorkspaceLabel. Accessibility labels combine the workspace position with the Cloud identity. Context-menu refreshes preserve the label.
Badge presentation components
Sources/SidebarCloudWorkspaceBadgeView.swift, Sources/NSImageView+SidebarWorkspaceAccessory.swift, Sources/ContentView.swift
SwiftUI and AppKit components render an optional cloud symbol with tooltip, tint, sizing, and visibility behavior. Workspace accessibility labeling uses the snapshot API.
Sidebar row integration
Sources/Sidebar/AppKitList/Cells/SidebarWorkspaceRowCellView.swift
Workspace rows add and configure the cloud accessory, mark it as a secondary element, update accessibility labels, and reserve space so titles remain visible.
Project wiring and behavior coverage
cmux.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj, cmuxTests/*
The project includes the new sources. Tests cover binding updates, context-menu refreshes, session restoration, reconnect states, appearance and width variants, layout, accessibility, and observation invalidation.

Some sidebar rows can retain empty accessory space after a symbol-render failure, and Cloud labels can fall back to English in supported locales. Address these bounded UI issues before release.

Explanation

[ #12291 ] The implementation adds the badge, snapshot propagation, observation updates, AppKit/SwiftUI rendering, accessibility composition, persistence coverage, connection-state coverage, and narrow light/dark layout coverage. However, Resources/Localizable.xcstrings defines sidebar.cloudWorkspace.label as Cloud workspace on %@, while SidebarWorkspaceSnapshotFactory.makeSnapshot() retrieves that localized value without supplying a format argument. The resulting badge tooltip and accessibility label can contain the literal %@ instead of the machine identifier. This does not meet the required label such as Cloud workspace on <machine>.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 14.29% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 21 functions across 11 files. (3 skipped: 2 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Full details: Cmux Swift Concurrency

Explanation

The diff materially expands legacy Combine app-state observation in Sources/WorkspaceSidebarObservation.swift. It adds cloudVMBinding to SidebarImmediateObservationState, changes the existing CombineLatest pipeline to consume $cloudVMBinding, and maps that value into the published invalidation state. This is cmux-owned app state, not an AppKit, SwiftUI, XCTest, OS, or third-party callback boundary. The base revision already had cloudVMBinding as @Published, so the failure is the new production Combine wiring, not the declaration itself. The same source already has structured View.task and for await observation code, which shows an async path is available. The test-only Combine subscriber is not the failure.

Resolution

Remove the new $cloudVMBinding/CombineLatest app-state wiring. Expose cloud-binding changes through the app's Observation or an owned AsyncSequence/AsyncStream, and consume that stream in the existing structured View.task/for await observation path with cancellation tied to the view or caller. Preserve snapshot invalidation and add the test against that async observation path. Do not add another Combine publisher or subscriber for this state.

Full details: Cmux Full Internationalization

Explanation

The PR adds the production localization key sidebar.cloudWorkspace.label and uses it through String(localized:defaultValue:) in Sources/SidebarWorkspaceSnapshotFactory.swift:84-86. However, the changed Resources/Localizable.xcstrings entry contains only en. The touched catalog already supports ar, bs, da, de, en, es, fr, it, ja, km, ko, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, uk, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant; the other 19 locales have no entry for the new key. The base catalog had the same locale set, so this is a PR-introduced incomplete localization.

Resolution

Add translated stringUnit values for sidebar.cloudWorkspace.label in Resources/Localizable.xcstrings for ar, bs, da, de, es, fr, it, ja, km, ko, nb, pl, pt-BR, ru, th, tr, uk, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant. Preserve the machine placeholder in each translation. Do not use copied English, marker text, or empty values.

Add the missing Japanese translation.

This new key defines only en, but ja is a supported app locale. Add a reviewed Japanese translation for the tooltip and accessibility label. Preserve the %@ placeholder.

Based on learnings, only en and ja are supported app locales. As per coding guidelines and path instructions, new localization keys must include every supported locale in the touched catalog.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Hide the accessory when image materialization fails.

configuredAppKitImage can return nil after renderability or bitmap materialization fails, including while its retry cache suppresses another attempt. This helper derives isHidden from label, so the cloud, pin, and mute views can remain visible without an image while layoutSidebarWorkspaceAccessory reserves space. The image assignment already clears a failed image; the stale-image case is not visible when label is nil.

Materialize first, clear image when no label exists, and derive visibility from the rendered image:

Proposed fix
-        isHidden = label == nil
         toolTip = label
-        guard label != nil else { return }
-        image = RenderableSystemSymbol.configuredAppKitImage(
+        guard label != nil else {
+            image = nil
+            isHidden = true
+            return
+        }
+        let renderedImage = RenderableSystemSymbol.configuredAppKitImage(
             systemName: symbol, pointSize: pointSize, weight: weight
         )
+        image = renderedImage
+        isHidden = renderedImage == nil
+        guard renderedImage != nil else { return }
         contentTintColor = tint
