Summary

This is the cohesive Ubuntu follow-up requested in #29, organized as 32 atomic commits so each phase remains independently reviewable inside one PR.

  • Phase 2 — screen preview: adds an explicit, preview-only Linux capture flow; Xorg selects the primary display deterministically, while GNOME/Wayland uses one user-initiated XDG portal stream with calm cancel/end/retry states.
  • Phase 3 — GNOME/Xorg local control: integrates a separately installed, pinned Cua Driver 0.19.3 through an app-owned private daemon, strict diagnostics/descriptor validation, explicit opt-in, provider capability gates, and per-action approval.
  • Phase 4 — guarded GNOME/Wayland control: enables only the exact Ubuntu 24.04 GNOME/Mutter contract after strict doctor and prompt-free health_report checks, including AT-SPI, capture, RemoteDesktop reachability, and WinRects v8.
  • Rebases onto current main and preserves its Chief of Staff, routines, voice, Windows shell, cloud computer, and isolated Local VM behavior. Local VM connections intentionally remain outside the host-desktop approval scope.

Trust boundaries

  • OpenMausBot does not bundle or silently install Cua Driver or WinRects.
  • Linux Auto never routes a bot to the user's desktop; This computer must be selected explicitly.
  • Host desktop tools are unavailable to bypass/full-auto providers and are never inherited from cloud or persistent grants.
  • Every host action goes through the human approval path.
  • Opening the app, onboarding, Settings, or Computer never opens ScreenCast/RemoteDesktop consent.
  • GNOME/Wayland readiness is compositor-specific and fail-closed. Other compositors remain unsupported.
  • Preview and bot control remain independent capabilities.

Automated validation

Validated at final head 4e72e6a (the last commit strengthens lifecycle tests only; packaged inputs are unchanged):

  • pnpm typecheck
  • pnpm check:electron
  • pnpm test42 files, 371 passed, 8 platform-skipped
  • production UI/server/updater build
  • AppImage and .deb x64 build for version 0.1.17
  • Linux package metadata/resource verifier
  • packaged lifecycle smoke on GNOME/X11 and simulated GNOME/Wayland, including renderer/harness health, private CUA readiness, forced daemon failure, explicit retry/new generation, normal shutdown, hard Electron death/restart cleanup, and no bundled Cua executable

Artifact hashes from the final rebased build:

  • AppImage: c31a88192301d1329daf23e431c67f68fcd36f85ee89f64e4d1712d239e932cf
  • .deb: b7a5bf31ecc90e95c32c3048f55ed508a4a669b5ea8e19c7aee8073c0b1a6c85

Real Ubuntu evidence

Manually validated in the preserved Ubuntu 24.04 x64 GNOME 46/Mutter Wayland VM with Cua Driver 0.19.3 and WinRects v8 ACTIVE:

  • packaged AppImage starts and reports GNOME/Wayland readiness;
  • enabling local control produces no portal prompt;
  • This computer becomes selectable only at Ready;
  • preview opens the GNOME chooser only after Start preview; cancel returns Try again without re-prompt, and Share keeps one live stream until stopped;
  • the app-owned private socket listed applications/windows and inspected a Terminal accessibility tree;
  • after OpenMausBot approval and the GNOME RemoteDesktop consent, type_text entered the independently observed nonce CUA_WAYLAND_ACTION_OK and a safe click succeeded on the activated target;
  • killing the exact owned daemon immediately revoked readiness; explicit retry created a fresh Ready generation;
  • disabling and normal quit removed readiness and left no owned Cua child;
  • with WinRects inactive, launch failed closed with actionable helper guidance; re-enabling it and retrying restored Ready.

The documentation intentionally does not claim generic Wayland, KDE, unrestricted/background/browser mutation, portal-video parity, fractional-scaling parity, or multi-monitor parity.

Issues

Parent roadmap: #29

Phase tracking: #77, #79, #109

Related updater hardening: #78 remains a standalone follow-up. This PR contains the minimal rejection/race mitigation needed by the packaged Ubuntu path, but #78 remains open because focused updater unit tests and the unavailable-feed package acceptance remain outstanding.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds Ubuntu Linux CUA support with certified driver discovery, supervised daemon lifecycle, Wayland health checks, guarded screen preview, scoped approval routing, renderer controls, package smoke tests, updater rejection handling, and updated platform documentation.

Changes

Linux local computer control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Linux local computer control implementation
electron/..., server/..., src/...
Linux CUA discovery, descriptor validation, private daemon supervision, lifecycle controls, screen preview, capability propagation, provider routing, and scoped approval handling are implemented.
Validation and documentation
scripts/..., package.json, .github/workflows/ci.yml, docs/..., README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, electron/updater.mjs
Linux smoke lanes validate startup, recovery, health, and cleanup. Documentation defines setup and platform restrictions. Updater promise rejections now update the intended state without unhandled rejections.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d5ca5

This PR adds Ubuntu screen preview and guarded local-control behavior, but two concrete merge-readiness concerns remain: updater checks can report failures under the wrong initiation mode, and combined bot updates can persist local control together with auto-approval, weakening the intended approval boundary. Address or explicitly accept these risks before merging; the remaining documentation fixes are minor.

Preserve the initiating mode for the rejected check.

A later check() call can change userInitiated before this promise rejects. An automatic failure can then show a user-visible error, or a manual failure can be reset to idle. Capture manual for this rejection and pass it to reportError.

Proposed change
 function check(manual = false) {
   if (!autoUpdater) return;
   userInitiated = manual;
+  const initiatedManually = manual;
   try {

   } catch (e) {

Reject a PATCH that enables local control and auto approval.

Line 1263 checks existingBot.computer, not the effective computer destination after this PATCH. A bot that currently uses cloud or off can submit {"computer":"local","autoApprove":true}. Lines 1274-1276 do not clear autoApprove when its prior value is false. This persists a configuration that the local-control approval policy forbids.

Validate body.computer ?? existingBot?.computer before copying autoApprove. Reject the conflicting request or force patch.autoApprove = false.

Return a status object when a Linux runtime operation rejects.

enable(), disable(), and retry() are awaited without error handling. If the runtime rejects, ipcMain.handle propagates the rejection to the renderer and no status is returned. The renderer then cannot show the current local-control state.

♻️ Proposed handler hardening
   ipcMain.handle("cua:linux-enable", async () => {
     if (process.platform !== "linux") {
       return { enabled: false, status: "unavailable", reasonCode: "unsupported-platform" };
     }

Route the success path through finish for consistency.

The close handler calls resolve directly and then repeats the settled and clearTimeout bookkeeping. The reject paths in the same handler use finish. One helper for all outcomes removes the duplicated state handling and prevents future drift.

Contain a thrown inspect error inside start.

inspect is awaited outside the try block at line 602. inspectLinuxCuaDriver returns structured failures today, but any thrown error here rejects the promise returned by initialize(), enable(), and retry(). The published connection then stays at status: "checking" and the renderer receives a rejected IPC call instead of a reason code. Wrap the inspection so the failure becomes an unavailable(...) publication.

Keep the driver identity contract in one place.

DRIVER_FILE_IDENTITY_KEYS, the stat-to-identity mapping, and sameDriverFileIdentity are duplicated in electron/cua-linux.cjs at lines 13-22 and 181-215. The producer and the consumer must agree exactly, so any future key change must land in both files or Linux local control silently fails closed. If the server must not import from electron/, add a comment in both files that names the counterpart, or move the shared shape into a small module both can require.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/computer-use-integration.md`:
- Around line 41-48: Update the computer-use architecture and policy text to
distinguish the bundled macOS Cua Driver path from the Ubuntu GNOME beta, which
requires users to install Cua Driver 0.19.3. Revise the “no separate installs”
and Electron-bundled-driver claims so they apply only to macOS, and ensure the
Ubuntu path is not described as Linux-bundled behavior.

In `@docs/linux-desktop.md`:
- Around line 140-147: Update the Cua Driver installation instructions to avoid
executing the unauthenticated remote installer: use a pinned 0.19.3 release
asset and require signed checksum or signature verification before execution.
Also replace the helper’s mutable packages/current reference with the exact
0.19.3 release path.

In `@electron/cua-connection.test.mjs`:
- Around line 42-43: Guard the POSIX permission assertions with process.platform
!== "win32" so Windows does not evaluate them. Apply this to both descriptor and
user-data mode assertions in electron/cua-connection.test.mjs lines 42-43 and
electron/cua-linux-runtime.test.mjs lines 246-247; no other behavior needs
changing.

Apply the same fix in `@electron/cua-linux-runtime.test.mjs` around lines 246 -
247: Same unsupported POSIX mode assertions in the Linux runtime test suite.

In `@electron/cua-linux-runtime.cjs`:
- Around line 449-455: Update the cleanup loop over owned.socketPath and
owned.pidFile to continue attempting each target when unlinkSync fails with a
non-ENOENT error; remove the break while preserving the existing ENOENT
handling.
- Around line 63-68: Update the directory-sync block in writePrivateJson to
catch and ignore fsyncSync failures while still closing the directory handle in
the existing finally path; preserve the file fsync and atomic rename behavior.
- Around line 531-542: Update runtimeRoot() to use a short, private 0700
directory under os.tmpdir() when XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is unavailable or unsuitable,
before falling back to the deep user-data path. In the socket-path-too-long
branch near ensurePrivateDirectory(runtimeDirectory), invoke cleanupRuntimeFiles
for the created runtime directory before returning unavailable, preserving the
existing reason code and message.

In `@electron/cua-linux-runtime.test.mjs`:
- Around line 23-27: Update temporaryDirectory() to create its temporary
directory under a short canonical POSIX base such as fs.realpathSync("/tmp")
instead of os.tmpdir(), and shorten the openmausbot-cua-runtime- fixture prefix
so the generated driver socket path remains within the AF_UNIX limit.

In `@electron/cua-linux.test.mjs`:
- Around line 22-26: Update temporaryDirectory() to canonicalize the path
returned by fs.mkdtempSync using fs.realpathSync before storing it in
temporaryDirectories and returning it, so callers compare against the same
canonical form as validateDriverCandidate.

In `@electron/main.mjs`:
- Around line 348-363: Update the setCuaStateListener callback around
broadcastDesktopCapabilities so the intentionally unawaited promise has an
explicit rejection handler. Preserve the existing capability broadcast behavior
while routing failures from cuaReady or desktopCapabilities to the application’s
established error-reporting path.

In `@electron/screen-preview.cjs`:
- Around line 51-59: Update selectCaptureSource in electron/screen-preview.cjs
(lines 51-59) to preserve exact X11 display_id matching when populated, then
fall back to the sole source when no match exists. In electron/main.mjs (lines
392-405), ensure empty results reject only genuine multi-monitor ambiguity and
log the X11 rejection reason. In electron/screen-preview.test.mjs (lines 58-63),
add coverage for an empty display_id and a single source with a non-matching id.

In `@scripts/run-linux-package-smoke.mjs`:
- Around line 24-28: Update the environment construction in the smoke runner so
OMB_SMOKE_WAYLAND is always set explicitly based on the lane: use the enabled
value for the Wayland lane and the disabled value for the X11 lane, preventing
inherited caller state from selecting the wrong contract.

In `@server/local-computer.test.ts`:
- Around line 61-66: Update privateUserData to create each fixture beneath a
unique fs.mkdtempSync directory rooted at os.tmpdir(), avoiding process.env.HOME
and supporting Windows environments. Track the created fixture paths and remove
them recursively in an afterEach hook so repeated test runs leave no artifacts.

In `@src/components/DesktopCapabilities.tsx`:
- Around line 22-27: Update DesktopCapabilities around onCapabilitiesChanged and
loadDesktopCapabilities so an in-flight initial load cannot overwrite
capabilities received from a newer event. Track revisions or an equivalent
invalidation mechanism, apply the guard before updating both the shared cache
and React state, and preserve event payloads as authoritative after enable,
disable, or runtime-failure notifications.

In `@src/components/LocalScreenPreview.tsx`:
- Around line 100-116: Update the assurance text in LocalScreenPreview,
including the setMessage call and preview subtitle, to state that starting the
preview does not grant control rather than claiming the bot cannot control the
computer. Preserve the separate per-action approval statement.

In `@src/state/store.tsx`:
- Around line 606-610: Update the reducer callback in updateBot so autoApprove
is forced false when either the patch sets computer to "local" or the current
bot already has computer set to "local"; otherwise preserve the supplied patch
value.

Review hardening complete

The review pass is complete at f87c3cb. All 16 actionable CodeRabbit findings were verified against the code and addressed, including the effective local/Auto approval invariant, stale capability race, preview playback failure, X11 source fallback, Linux runtime cleanup/error containment, updater race, isolated test fixtures, and safer pinned Cua installation documentation.

Final validation:

  • local: pnpm typecheck, pnpm check:electron, 42 test files / 361 passed / 8 platform-scoped skips;
  • local package: AppImage + DEB verifier and packaged GNOME/X11 + simulated GNOME/Wayland lifecycle smoke passed;
  • GitHub Actions: Ubuntu, macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu package + smoke all passed;
  • PR remains mergeable with a clean branch.

The macOS lane now executes the portable POSIX discovery/lifecycle proofs with short canonical socket fixtures; only the Linux-exclusive private-primary-group cases remain scoped to Linux. No support claim was broadened beyond the documented Ubuntu 24.04 GNOME contracts.

Phase 5 is now fully implemented on the separate agent/ubuntu-bundled-cua branch and tracked in #113.

This PR remains unchanged and is still the clean merge dependency. The follow-up contains four atomic commits for pinned CUA staging and compliance, packaged runtime resolution, AppImage/DEB verification and smoke coverage, and documentation. Its local gate is green: 387 tests passed, Electron syntax checks passed, offline Linux packaging passed, and both final artifacts passed the package verifier.

I will open the Phase 5-only PR immediately after this PR merges, which avoids presenting a duplicated #111 foundation to reviewers.

Tracking synchronization completed without broadening any support claim:

The roadmap and phase issues now distinguish delivered implementation from intentionally unproven extended evidence.

313-320: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move the failure throw out of the try block.

process.kill(daemon.pid, 0) and throw new Error(...) share one try. The catch then inspects error?.code on an Error that has no code. The assertion still fails, but only because a plain Error never has code === "ESRCH". Use an explicit liveness helper so the intent is clear and the assertion cannot be swallowed.

The same pattern repeats at lines 393-399.

♻️ Proposed refactor
+const processAlive = (pid) => {
+  try {
+    process.kill(pid, 0);
+    return true;
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (error?.code === "ESRCH") return false;
+    throw error;
+  }
+};

Then replace both assertion sites:

     for (const daemon of daemons) {
-      try {
-        process.kill(daemon.pid, 0);
-        throw new Error(`owned CUA daemon survived hard Electron death: ${daemon.pid}`);
-      } catch (error) {
-        if (error?.code !== "ESRCH") throw error;
-      }
+      if (processAlive(daemon.pid)) {
+        throw new Error(`owned CUA daemon survived hard Electron death: ${daemon.pid}`);
+      }
     }

Final merge-readiness update

Final head b939c4f is ready for maintainer review/merge:

  • all 21/21 inline review threads are resolved;
  • CodeRabbit completed successfully;
  • GitHub Actions passed on macOS, Ubuntu, Windows, and the Ubuntu 24.04 AppImage/DEB package + lifecycle-smoke lane;
  • local final suite: 42 files, 365 passed, 8 platform-scoped skips;
  • TypeScript, Electron syntax, production build, package verifier, X11/guarded-Wayland crash/retry, and hard Electron death/restart cleanup passed;
  • real Ubuntu GNOME/Xorg Cua 0.19.3 evidence independently observed semantic fixture mutation with token OPENMAUSBOT-XORG-CUA-510D9D5;
  • final PR artifacts: AppImage 001b7b3a14a7090205913ce41b2aaeee464f8d3208da6137f58e369bbcf6f73c, DEB 50531555145ee3f18b02145830d69a25401872da4f1ccedce06571d552e125cc.

The final documentation explicitly separates preview capture (Xorg/XDG Portal) from the CUA-only local-control policy, preserves Cloud Box and Local VM semantics, and makes no generic-Wayland, scaling, multi-monitor, dictation, or ARM64 claim.

The zero-download driver follow-up is now visible as stacked draft #116. It is intentionally blocked on this PR so #111 remains the clean first merge.
