What needs to be done is:

Your PTY layer in hero_router must stop treating terminal protocol traffic as normal user-visible output.

Right now it is acting like a byte pipe. That is not enough for interactive shells. A PTY bridge must understand three different streams mixed into one byte flow:

  1. display output meant for the screen
  2. control sequences meant for the terminal emulator
  3. terminal replies meant for the foreground program, not for rendering

The leaked ESC [ 2 ; 8 R proves that a terminal query/reply roundtrip is being mishandled.

What is happening

Some process inside the PTY sends:

ESC [ 6 n

That means: “terminal, report cursor position”.

A real terminal emulator receives that, does not display it, and sends back something like:

ESC [ 2 ; 8 R

to the PTY master as input to the application.

Your current layer is almost certainly doing one of these wrong:

  • forwarding the query to the frontend but not interpreting it
  • receiving the frontend’s reply and writing it into the output stream instead of PTY input
  • logging raw control bytes as visible text
  • not keeping the PTY session state needed to answer terminal queries correctly

Correct model

hero_router needs a proper terminal session bridge with two logical directions:

PTY -> client

This direction carries:

  • normal printable text
  • ANSI/VT control sequences that should affect terminal state
  • terminal mode changes
  • requests for terminal replies

Client -> PTY

This direction carries:

  • keyboard input
  • paste
  • resize events
  • mouse events
  • terminal reply sequences like ESC [ row ; col R

The crucial rule:

A terminal reply must never be appended to visible output. It must be injected into PTY input.

What to implement

1. Split terminal transport into semantic message types

Do not keep a single untyped byte stream at the router boundary.

Define explicit message kinds such as:

enum TerminalEvent {
    PtyOutput(Vec<u8>),          // bytes from child process
    UserInput(Vec<u8>),          // keyboard/paste
    Resize { cols: u16, rows: u16 },
    Mouse(Vec<u8>),
    TerminalReply(Vec<u8>),      // CPR/DA/etc
}

At minimum, hero_router needs to distinguish:

  • output from app
  • input from user
  • replies from terminal emulator
  • resize

Without this separation, leaks like this will keep happening.


2. Add a VT/ANSI parser on the PTY->client path

When bytes come from the PTY master, parse them incrementally.

You need to recognize:

  • printable text
  • CSI sequences
  • OSC sequences
  • DCS if supported
  • single-character ESC commands

A parser crate is strongly recommended rather than handwritten parsing.

In Rust, look at:

  • vte
  • possibly wezterm parser code as architectural reference
  • alacritty_terminal as a reference implementation if you want terminal-state behavior

You do not need a full terminal emulator inside hero_router, but you do need enough parsing to:

  • identify query sequences
  • maintain minimal terminal state
  • avoid corrupt routing

3. Detect terminal queries and mark them as requiring a reply

Common ones to support first:

Cursor position report request

Application sends:

CSI 6 n

Expected terminal reply:

CSI {row} ; {col} R

Primary device attributes

Application sends:

CSI c

or

CSI 0 c

Secondary DA

Application sends:

CSI > c

Terminal size is usually handled separately through resize events, not query/reply, but some apps may probe.

For MVP, the critical one is:

  • CSI 6 n

because that is exactly what leaked.


4. Decide where terminal emulation lives

You need one clear architecture choice.

Option A — frontend is the terminal emulator

Best if your browser/native client already renders terminal content.

Then hero_router should:

  • forward PTY output to the frontend
  • frontend interprets control sequences
  • when frontend receives a query like CSI 6 n, it computes the answer
  • frontend sends back a structured TerminalReply
  • router writes that reply to PTY input

This is usually the cleanest design.

Option B — router partially emulates terminal behavior

Useful if the frontend is dumb or multiple frontends exist.

Then hero_router must:

  • maintain cursor position, screen size, and maybe attributes
  • detect queries
  • generate replies itself
  • write replies directly into PTY input

This is harder and usually unnecessary unless you want headless deterministic terminal sessions.

For Hero, I would recommend:

Frontend emulates, router routes.

But the router still needs parsing and typed channels.


5. Add a reply injection path back into PTY stdin

This is the missing behavior.

When the terminal side generates:

ESC [ 2 ; 8 R

the router must not broadcast it as output.

It must do:

pty_master.write_all(b"\x1b[2;8R")?;

as if the user had typed it, but tagged internally as terminal-generated input, not human input.

That is the main functional fix.


6. Track terminal state needed for replies

For CPR support, you need current:

  • cursor row
  • cursor column
  • terminal dimensions

If frontend is authoritative, it returns these.
If router is authoritative, it must track them.

If you do not track cursor position, then queries like CSI 6 n cannot be answered correctly.

For MVP you can support:

  • size tracking from resize events
  • cursor tracking only for common movements if you want router-side replies

But again, easier to let frontend answer CPR.


7. Ensure raw logs never include reply bytes as visible text

If you log PTY traffic, keep two log modes:

Debug raw mode

Hex/escaped bytes, explicitly labeled direction:

  • PTY->client
  • client->PTY
  • terminal-reply->PTY

User-visible transcript mode

Only printable rendered text, no raw escape sequences

This is important because right now your system seems to be mixing protocol and transcript.


8. Preserve sequence boundaries with incremental parsing

Reads from PTY will be chunked arbitrarily.

You cannot assume one read() contains one escape sequence.

So the parser must be incremental and stateful across reads:

  • partial ESC [
  • later 2;8R

If you do not do this, parsing will be flaky.


9. Add feature gating / compatibility policy

Define what terminal features Hero supports.

For MVP, explicitly support:

  • UTF-8 text
  • basic SGR colors
  • cursor movement
  • erase sequences
  • alternate screen if needed
  • resize
  • CPR (CSI 6 n)
  • bracketed paste if supported by frontend

Unsupported sequences should:

  • pass through to frontend if frontend is emulator
  • or be ignored safely
  • never be rendered literally unless intentionally escaped for debug

10. Handle browser terminal integration properly

If your Hero frontend is browser-based and maybe using xterm.js or equivalent, then the clean flow is:

  • PTY bytes forwarded to xterm
  • xterm renders
  • when xterm needs to answer a terminal query, capture its reply path
  • send reply bytes through a dedicated websocket/event channel
  • router writes those bytes into PTY input

Do not let the frontend “print” reply bytes into the terminal DOM/output stream.

Required spec for hero_router

Here is the concrete behavior spec.

Session model

Each terminal session must maintain:

struct TerminalSession {
    session_id: SessionId,
    pty_master: PtyMaster,
    screen_cols: u16,
    screen_rows: u16,
    frontend_caps: FrontendCaps,
    parser_state: ParserState,
}

Optional if router emulates more:

cursor_row: u16,
cursor_col: u16,
alt_screen: bool,
bracketed_paste: bool,

Transport API

Define separate operations:

  • terminal.open
  • terminal.input
  • terminal.resize
  • terminal.reply
  • terminal.close

Example conceptual OpenRPC surface:

terminal.input

User keystrokes/paste:

{ "session": "...", "data_b64": "..." }

terminal.resize

{ "session": "...", "cols": 120, "rows": 40 }

terminal.reply

For emulator-generated replies:

{ "session": "...", "data_b64": "G1syOzhS" }

This separation is important. Do not overload user input and terminal replies invisibly.

Routing rules

PTY output received

  • parse incrementally
  • send raw/renderable data to frontend terminal
  • if parser/front-end interaction detects a reply is needed, generate a terminal.reply

Terminal reply received from frontend

  • write bytes to PTY master input
  • do not display
  • do not append to transcript as shell output

Resize received

  • apply TIOCSWINSZ
  • optionally send SIGWINCH

MVP implementation plan

Phase 1 — fix the bug

Implement just enough to stop leaks.

  • Add typed terminal.reply
  • Frontend catches CPR queries and responds
  • Router writes reply to PTY input
  • Never display reply bytes

This alone should solve the ^[ [2;8R artifact.

Phase 2 — parser and observability

  • Add incremental VT parser
  • classify CSI/OSC/printable text
  • add debug tracing by direction
  • add test coverage for chunked escape sequences

Phase 3 — compatibility

  • bracketed paste
  • mouse reporting
  • alt-screen
  • device attributes
  • better state handling

Tests you need

At minimum:

1. CPR roundtrip

App writes:

ESC [ 6 n

Frontend sends reply:

ESC [ 2 ; 8 R

Assert:

  • reply is written into PTY input
  • reply is not rendered to output
  • app receives it correctly

2. Chunked sequence handling

PTY output chunks:

  • ESC
  • [
  • 6
  • n

Assert query still recognized.

3. Mixed printable + query

Output:

hello
ESC [ 6 n
world

Assert:

  • visible output only shows hello and world
  • no literal CPR appears

4. Resize

Resize event updates PTY size correctly.

5. Unsupported sequence

Unknown CSI/OSC does not crash parser and does not leak malformed state.

Recommended design choice

For Hero, I would define it like this:

  • frontend terminal emulator is authoritative for visual state
  • hero_router is authoritative for session routing and PTY ownership
  • terminal replies are a first-class control channel
  • router keeps minimal parser/state for safety, logging, and debugging

That gives you:

  • browser/native flexibility
  • no fake full emulator inside router
  • proper handling of CPR and future queries
  • clean foundation for agent-driven terminal sessions

Crisp implementation requirement

In one sentence:

Convert the current PTY byte tunnel into a terminal-aware session bridge that distinguishes visible output from terminal control/reply traffic, and inject reply sequences back into PTY stdin instead of rendering them.

I can turn this into a copy-paste engineering spec in markdown with sections for architecture, RPC methods, Rust structs, and acceptance criteria.

Hero Router Terminal Issue #43 — Implementation Spec (Phase 1 MVP)

Objective

Stop the hero_router terminal UI from leaking terminal-reply control bytes (e.g. ESC [ 2 ; 8 R from a CPR roundtrip) into the visible shell transcript, and promote terminal replies to a first-class, typed message on the PTY transport. Phase 1 only: make terminal.reply a typed OpenRPC method, split the browser↔router WebSocket traffic into semantic frame types (PtyOutput, UserInput, TerminalReply, Resize), and make the xterm.js integration tag reply bytes explicitly so they cannot land in the user transcript. No full VT/ANSI parser is introduced inside the router — the frontend xterm.js remains the authoritative terminal emulator.

Context & scope boundary

The hero_router repo does not own the PTY. PTYs are spawned inside hero_proc as jobs (via ActionBuilder::new(...).tty().is_process()). Router simply:

  1. Exposes OpenRPC CRUD for terminal sessions (terminal.list/create/get/delete), implemented as hero_proc jobs named router_term_<name>.
  2. Exposes one HTTP WebSocket endpoint GET /api/terminal/pty/:name that tunnels byte frames between the browser and hero_proc's /api/jobs/:id/pty over the hero_proc Unix socket.

The visible-text leak of ESC [ 2 ; 8 R is happening upstream in hero_proc's PTY read/write plumbing, not in hero_router. What hero_router can fix in Phase 1:

  • Introduce typed TerminalEvent framing on the browser↔router WebSocket so the UI never sends "reply bytes" and "keyboard input bytes" through the same unlabelled channel.
  • Add the terminal.reply OpenRPC method so external (non-browser) callers can inject a reply for a given session name.
  • Fix the xterm.js integration to emit reply sequences under a distinct label.
  • Add a raw-debug log mode labeling each byte direction and type.

The actual "write reply to PTY master stdin instead of visible output" fix lives in hero_proc and is out of scope for this issue in this repo.

Requirements

  • Define a typed TerminalEvent enum serialized as tagged JSON text frames on the browser↔router WebSocket: PtyOutput, UserInput, TerminalReply, Resize. Binary frames continue to mean raw PTY output for backward compatibility during the transition.
  • Add terminal.reply { name, data_b64 } to the router's OpenRPC (rpc.sock) surface with dispatch in server/rpc.rs and schema in static/openrpc.json.
  • In server/terminal.rs, split the WebSocket proxy (pty_proxy) to decode either typed JSON envelopes or legacy raw bytes.
  • Track per-session cols/rows in an in-process state map keyed by session name, updated whenever a Resize frame is received.
  • Update static/js/terminal.js so that:
    • User keyboard data arrives via term.onData and is sent as UserInput.
    • CPR/DA reply bytes from xterm.js are detected by incremental pattern match and sent as TerminalReply.
    • Resize messages migrate to the typed envelope as well.
    • No reply byte is ever passed to term.write().
  • Add a TERMINAL_LOG=raw|transcript|off env flag (default off) controlling a tracing::debug! channel that prints each frame with its direction and type.
  • Incremental parsing: handle the case where a reply is split across two chunks.

Files to modify / create

  • crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs — add TerminalEvent enum, per-session TerminalState map, rework pty_proxy into two labelled pumps, add inject_reply(session_name, bytes) helper.
  • crates/hero_router/src/server/rpc.rs — dispatch terminal.reply { name, data_b64 }.
  • crates/hero_router/static/openrpc.json — add the terminal.reply method definition.
  • crates/hero_router/static/js/terminal.js — switch outbound frames to typed envelopes, add CPR/DA detection on term.onData.
  • crates/hero_router/templates/terminal.html — optional ?termlog=raw diagnostic script block.
  • crates/hero_router/Cargo.toml — add base64 if not already a direct dep. vte is NOT added in Phase 1.

Implementation Plan

Step 1 — Define the TerminalEvent wire format

Files: crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs

  • Add TerminalEvent enum (PtyOutput, UserInput, TerminalReply, Resize) with #[serde(tag = "kind", rename_all = "snake_case")].
  • Add TerminalState { cols, rows } and an Arc<Mutex<HashMap<String, TerminalState>>>-style map wired into RpcState.
  • No behavioral change yet.
    Dependencies: none.

Step 2 — Rework the PTY WebSocket proxy into typed pumps

Files: crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs (pty_proxy)

  • On Message::Text attempt TerminalEvent decode; on success handle UserInput / TerminalReply / Resize explicitly.
  • Resize continues to forward {"resize":{…}} text to hero_proc (current wire shape expected by hero_proc_server).
  • On Message::Binary, forward as legacy input; warn once per connection.
  • Server→browser pump unchanged (still forwards PTY bytes as Binary so xterm.js can term.write them).
  • Register the active session's sink in a process-wide DashMap<String /* name */, mpsc::Sender<Vec<u8>>> at attach time, unregister on close, for use by inject_reply.
    Dependencies: Step 1.

Step 3 — Add the terminal.reply OpenRPC method

Files: crates/hero_router/src/server/rpc.rs

  • New match arm: extract name and data_b64, base64-decode, call terminal::inject_reply(name, &bytes).
  • inject_reply(name, bytes) in terminal.rs looks up the registered sink and pushes bytes to hero_proc as Binary; returns a clean error if no session is attached.
    Dependencies: Step 1, Step 2.

Step 4 — Document terminal.reply in the OpenRPC spec

Files: crates/hero_router/static/openrpc.json

  • Add a method entry with params name and data_b64 and a {ok: boolean} result.
    Dependencies: Step 3.

Step 5 — Frontend: tag outbound frames, isolate reply path

Files: crates/hero_router/static/js/terminal.js

  • Helper sendEvent(evt) → JSON + ws.send(str).
  • Replace the term.onData handler with one that:
    • Buffers partial prefixes across callbacks.
    • Detects CPR (^\x1b\[\d+;\d+R), DA (^\x1b\[\?[\d;]*c), Secondary DA (^\x1b\[>[\d;]*c).
    • Emits matches as {kind:"terminal_reply", data_b64: btoa(bytes)}.
    • Emits everything else as {kind:"user_input", data_b64: btoa(bytes)}.
  • Migrate resize to {kind:"resize", cols, rows}.
  • Add ?termlog=raw console.debug of inbound chunks.
  • Do not call term.write with bytes received from term.onData.
    Dependencies: Step 2.

Step 6 — Backward compatibility on the WebSocket

Files: crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs

  • Accept both new typed JSON and legacy {"resize":…} + raw Binary.
  • hero_proc still sees the same frame types it sees today.
    Dependencies: Steps 1–2.

Step 7 — Minimal terminal state tracking + logs

Files: crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs

  • Update TerminalState on Resize.
  • Gate TERMINAL_LOG env var; raw includes replies and inputs; transcript excludes replies/resize; default off.
    Dependencies: Steps 1–2.

Step 8 — Note the upstream gap

Files: crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs (module docs)

  • Document that the real "never echo reply bytes on PTY stdout" fix lives in hero_proc and that this MVP addresses only the router/UI boundary.
    Dependencies: none.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Running a program that issues printf '\e[6n'; IFS=';' read -sdR -p "" row col in a new terminal session does not show ^[[<row>;<col>R in the visible transcript.
  • With TERMINAL_LOG=raw enabled the raw log shows, in order: s2c type=pty_output carrying ESC[6n, then c2s type=reply carrying ESC[<row>;<col>R. Transcript log shows neither.
  • A chunked CPR reply (split across two term.onData callbacks) is emitted as a single TerminalReply envelope.
  • Pasting abc\e[6nxyz yields, in order: one UserInput abc, one TerminalReply (CPR answer), one UserInput xyz.
  • Resizing the browser window fires a Resize TerminalEvent and updates per-session TerminalState.cols/rows.
  • An unsupported ANSI sequence (e.g. ESC [ = 5 h) is not misclassified as a reply.
  • terminal.reply { name, data_b64 } with an attached session delivers bytes to the PTY and returns {ok: true}; unattached session returns -32000.
  • openrpc.json validates; rpc.discover includes terminal.reply.
  • Legacy browsers keep working; deprecation warning logged once per connection.

Notes

  • The CPR visible-text leak is upstream (hero_proc), not in this repo. Phase 1 here makes the frontend reply path explicit so future regressions can't leak silently, and adds diagnostic logging to pinpoint whichever layer echoes.
  • No vte crate is added in Phase 1 — xterm.js is authoritative, and the small CPR/DA regex at the edge is incremental-safe.
  • /api/terminal/pty/:name WebSocket must stay backward compatible during rollout (legacy Binary + legacy {"resize":…} text still accepted).
  • terminal.reply is for headless/scripted/agent consumers that don't run xterm.js locally. Browser clients still answer CPR automatically; the difference is the reply is now labeled explicitly on the wire.
  • inject_reply only succeeds for currently attached sessions. Unattached → clean -32000.
  • TERMINAL_LOG=raw includes keystrokes — default must stay off; document this.

Phase 1 only: make `terminal.reply` a typed OpenRPC method, split the browser↔router WebSocket traffic into semantic frame types (`PtyOutput`, `UserInput`, `TerminalReply`, `Resize`), and make the xterm.js integration tag reply bytes explicitly so they cannot land in the user transcript. No full VT/ANSI parser is introduced inside the router — the frontend xterm.js remains the authoritative terminal emulator. ### Context & scope boundary The `hero_router` repo does **not** own the PTY. PTYs are spawned inside **hero_proc** as jobs (via `ActionBuilder::new(...).tty().is_process()`). Router simply: 1. Exposes OpenRPC CRUD for terminal sessions (`terminal.list/create/get/delete`), implemented as hero_proc jobs named `router_term_<name>`. 2. Exposes one HTTP WebSocket endpoint `GET /api/terminal/pty/:name` that tunnels byte frames between the browser and hero_proc's `/api/jobs/:id/pty` over the hero_proc Unix socket. The visible-text leak of `ESC [ 2 ; 8 R` is happening upstream in hero_proc's PTY read/write plumbing, not in hero_router. What hero_router can fix in Phase 1: - Introduce typed `TerminalEvent` framing on the browser↔router WebSocket so the UI never sends "reply bytes" and "keyboard input bytes" through the same unlabelled channel. - Add the `terminal.reply` OpenRPC method so external (non-browser) callers can inject a reply for a given session name. - Fix the xterm.js integration to emit reply sequences under a distinct label. - Add a raw-debug log mode labeling each byte direction and type. The actual "write reply to PTY master stdin instead of visible output" fix lives in hero_proc and is out of scope for this issue in this repo. ### Requirements - Define a typed `TerminalEvent` enum serialized as tagged JSON text frames on the browser↔router WebSocket: `PtyOutput`, `UserInput`, `TerminalReply`, `Resize`. Binary frames continue to mean raw PTY output for backward compatibility during the transition. - Add `terminal.reply { name, data_b64 }` to the router's OpenRPC (`rpc.sock`) surface with dispatch in `server/rpc.rs` and schema in `static/openrpc.json`. - In `server/terminal.rs`, split the WebSocket proxy (`pty_proxy`) to decode either typed JSON envelopes or legacy raw bytes. - Track per-session cols/rows in an in-process state map keyed by session name, updated whenever a `Resize` frame is received. - Update `static/js/terminal.js` so that: - User keyboard data arrives via `term.onData` and is sent as `UserInput`. - CPR/DA reply bytes from xterm.js are detected by incremental pattern match and sent as `TerminalReply`. - Resize messages migrate to the typed envelope as well. - No reply byte is ever passed to `term.write()`. - Add a `TERMINAL_LOG=raw|transcript|off` env flag (default `off`) controlling a `tracing::debug!` channel that prints each frame with its direction and type. - Incremental parsing: handle the case where a reply is split across two chunks. ### Files to modify / create - `crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs` — add `TerminalEvent` enum, per-session `TerminalState` map, rework `pty_proxy` into two labelled pumps, add `inject_reply(session_name, bytes)` helper. - `crates/hero_router/src/server/rpc.rs` — dispatch `terminal.reply { name, data_b64 }`. - `crates/hero_router/static/openrpc.json` — add the `terminal.reply` method definition. - `crates/hero_router/static/js/terminal.js` — switch outbound frames to typed envelopes, add CPR/DA detection on `term.onData`. - `crates/hero_router/templates/terminal.html` — optional `?termlog=raw` diagnostic script block. - `crates/hero_router/Cargo.toml` — add `base64` if not already a direct dep. `vte` is NOT added in Phase 1. ### Implementation Plan #### Step 1 — Define the TerminalEvent wire format Files: `crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs` - Add `TerminalEvent` enum (PtyOutput, UserInput, TerminalReply, Resize) with `#[serde(tag = "kind", rename_all = "snake_case")]`. - Add `TerminalState { cols, rows }` and an `Arc<Mutex<HashMap<String, TerminalState>>>`-style map wired into `RpcState`. - No behavioral change yet. Dependencies: none. #### Step 2 — Rework the PTY WebSocket proxy into typed pumps Files: `crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs` (`pty_proxy`) - On `Message::Text` attempt `TerminalEvent` decode; on success handle `UserInput` / `TerminalReply` / `Resize` explicitly. - Resize continues to forward `{"resize":{…}}` text to hero_proc (current wire shape expected by hero_proc_server). - On `Message::Binary`, forward as legacy input; warn once per connection. - Server→browser pump unchanged (still forwards PTY bytes as Binary so xterm.js can `term.write` them). - Register the active session's sink in a process-wide `DashMap<String /* name */, mpsc::Sender<Vec<u8>>>` at attach time, unregister on close, for use by `inject_reply`. Dependencies: Step 1. #### Step 3 — Add the `terminal.reply` OpenRPC method Files: `crates/hero_router/src/server/rpc.rs` - New match arm: extract `name` and `data_b64`, base64-decode, call `terminal::inject_reply(name, &bytes)`. - `inject_reply(name, bytes)` in `terminal.rs` looks up the registered sink and pushes bytes to hero_proc as Binary; returns a clean error if no session is attached. Dependencies: Step 1, Step 2. #### Step 4 — Document `terminal.reply` in the OpenRPC spec Files: `crates/hero_router/static/openrpc.json` - Add a method entry with params `name` and `data_b64` and a `{ok: boolean}` result. Dependencies: Step 3. #### Step 5 — Frontend: tag outbound frames, isolate reply path Files: `crates/hero_router/static/js/terminal.js` - Helper `sendEvent(evt)` → JSON + `ws.send(str)`. - Replace the `term.onData` handler with one that: - Buffers partial prefixes across callbacks. - Detects CPR (`^\x1b\[\d+;\d+R`), DA (`^\x1b\[\?[\d;]*c`), Secondary DA (`^\x1b\[>[\d;]*c`). - Emits matches as `{kind:"terminal_reply", data_b64: btoa(bytes)}`. - Emits everything else as `{kind:"user_input", data_b64: btoa(bytes)}`. - Migrate resize to `{kind:"resize", cols, rows}`. - Add `?termlog=raw` console.debug of inbound chunks. - Do not call `term.write` with bytes received from `term.onData`. Dependencies: Step 2. #### Step 6 — Backward compatibility on the WebSocket Files: `crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs` - Accept both new typed JSON and legacy `{"resize":…}` + raw Binary. - hero_proc still sees the same frame types it sees today. Dependencies: Steps 1–2. #### Step 7 — Minimal terminal state tracking + logs Files: `crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs` - Update `TerminalState` on Resize. - Gate `TERMINAL_LOG` env var; `raw` includes replies and inputs; `transcript` excludes replies/resize; default `off`. Dependencies: Steps 1–2. #### Step 8 — Note the upstream gap Files: `crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs` (module docs) - Document that the real "never echo reply bytes on PTY stdout" fix lives in hero_proc and that this MVP addresses only the router/UI boundary. Dependencies: none. ### Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Running a program that issues `printf '\e[6n'; IFS=';' read -sdR -p "" row col` in a new terminal session does not show `^[[<row>;<col>R` in the visible transcript. - [ ] With `TERMINAL_LOG=raw` enabled the raw log shows, in order: `s2c type=pty_output` carrying `ESC[6n`, then `c2s type=reply` carrying `ESC[<row>;<col>R`. Transcript log shows neither. - [ ] A chunked CPR reply (split across two `term.onData` callbacks) is emitted as a single `TerminalReply` envelope. - [ ] Pasting `abc\e[6nxyz` yields, in order: one `UserInput` `abc`, one `TerminalReply` (CPR answer), one `UserInput` `xyz`. - [ ] Resizing the browser window fires a `Resize` `TerminalEvent` and updates per-session `TerminalState.cols/rows`. - [ ] An unsupported ANSI sequence (e.g. `ESC [ = 5 h`) is not misclassified as a reply. - [ ] `terminal.reply { name, data_b64 }` with an attached session delivers bytes to the PTY and returns `{ok: true}`; unattached session returns `-32000`. - [ ] `openrpc.json` validates; `rpc.discover` includes `terminal.reply`. - [ ] Legacy browsers keep working; deprecation warning logged once per connection. ### Notes - The CPR visible-text leak is upstream (hero_proc), not in this repo. Phase 1 here makes the frontend reply path explicit so future regressions can't leak silently, and adds diagnostic logging to pinpoint whichever layer echoes. - No `vte` crate is added in Phase 1 — xterm.js is authoritative, and the small CPR/DA regex at the edge is incremental-safe. - `/api/terminal/pty/:name` WebSocket must stay backward compatible during rollout (legacy Binary + legacy `{"resize":…}` text still accepted). - `terminal.reply` is for headless/scripted/agent consumers that don't run xterm.js locally. Browser clients still answer CPR automatically; the difference is the reply is now labeled explicitly on the wire. - `inject_reply` only succeeds for currently attached sessions. Unattached → clean `-32000`. - `TERMINAL_LOG=raw` includes keystrokes — default must stay `off`; document this. - Base64 is used in `data_b64` fields for binary-clean transport across JSON.

Test Results

Ran cargo test -p hero_router:

  • Total: 16
  • Passed: 16
  • Failed: 0

No new unit tests were added in Phase 1. Acceptance criteria from the spec are behavioural (browser-level CPR roundtrip, resize propagation, terminal.reply injection) and require manual verification against a running PTY session. A browser-level test harness for that is out of scope for this issue.

Implementation Summary — Phase 1

Branch: development_tty (not merged, not pushed). All changes are local commits pending review.

Files changed

  • crates/hero_router/src/server/terminal.rs
    • New TerminalEvent enum (user_input / terminal_reply / resize) deserialised from typed JSON text frames.
    • New TerminalState { cols, rows } and a process-wide AsyncMutex<HashMap<String, (TerminalState, ReplySender)>> registry (attached()).
    • New public inject_reply(name, bytes) -> Result<()> for OpenRPC-driven reply injection.
    • pty_proxy rewritten: registers the session at attach time, spawns a bytes -> Binary bridge so inject_reply and the browser's user_input/terminal_reply share the same hero_proc sink. Four-way tokio::select! across browser→server, server→browser, reply-bridge, forwarder. Legacy {"resize":...} text and raw Binary frames continue to work; a single warn-per-connection fires on legacy binary.
    • TERMINAL_LOG=raw|transcript|off env gate for a separate debug log target. Default off.
    • pty_handler now passes the session name down to pty_proxy.
  • crates/hero_router/src/server/rpc.rs
    • New terminal.reply { name, data_b64 } dispatch arm. Returns { ok: true } on success, -32602 for invalid base64, -32000 when no session is attached.

    • Added the terminal.reply method entry documenting the behaviour and params.
  • crates/hero_router/static/js/terminal.js
    • New bytesToB64 and sendEvent helpers.
    • All outbound writes now go through typed frames: user_input, terminal_reply, resize.
    • Incremental CPR/DA/DA2 classifier (matchReply + isReplyPrefix + pending buffer) on term.onData so CPR replies are labelled, not mixed with keystrokes, even when split across callbacks.
    • Inbound handler accepts ArrayBuffer, Blob, typed pty_output JSON (defensive, for a future phase), and legacy plain text.
    • ?termlog=raw URL flag emits console.debug for each outbound frame.
  • crates/hero_router/Cargo.toml
    • Added base64 = "0.22".

No new cargo tests were added in Phase 1. The acceptance criteria are browser/PTY-behavioural (CPR roundtrip, chunked reply reassembly, resize state, terminal.reply injection into an attached session) and need manual verification against a live PTY. A browser-level test harness for this is out of scope for this issue.

Notes & caveats

  • The CPR visible-text leak is upstream in hero_proc, not in hero_router. xterm.js already routes CPR replies through term.onData -> WebSocket today. If ^[[2;8R is rendered in the visible transcript, it is because hero_proc_server either echoes reply bytes back out the PTY master read side, or the UI accidentally passes onData bytes into term.write (this branch adds a defensive filter against the latter). The hero_proc-side fix (write reply bytes to PTY master stdin only, never surface them on stdout) is tracked separately per the issue's bonus note.
  • Wire contract is new and backward compatible. Preferred shape: typed JSON text frames. Legacy {"resize":{...}} text and raw Binary frames continue to be accepted by the router; a warning is logged once per connection when the browser sends legacy binary. No hero_proc change is required for Phase 1 — the router still sends Binary (for input and replies) and Text {"resize":...} (for resize) to hero_proc exactly as today.
  • terminal.reply is for headless / scripted consumers. Browser clients answer CPR automatically via xterm.js; this RPC is for programmatic clients that open a session over OpenRPC and cannot run a local VT emulator. Calling terminal.reply on a session that is not currently attached returns -32000.
  • No vte crate was added. Phase 1 keeps xterm.js as the authoritative VT emulator; the frontend's CPR/DA regex at the edge is incremental-safe for the handful of supported queries.
  • TERMINAL_LOG=raw includes keystrokes. It is off by default and documented in the module prose. Operators who enable raw for debugging should be aware.

Test Results — Phase 1 Browser Verification

cargo test: 79 passed, 0 failed

Browser tests (MCP browser against localhost:9988):

Acceptance Criterion Result
terminal.reply with attached session returns {ok: true} PASS
terminal.reply with unattached session returns -32000 PASS
terminal.reply with invalid base64 returns -32602 PASS
openrpc.json includes terminal.reply with correct params PASS
rpc.discover returns terminal.reply PASS
Typed frame classification (user_input / terminal_reply) logged via ?termlog=raw PASS
Resize frame sent as {"kind":"resize","cols":189,"rows":51} on attach PASS
PTY WebSocket binary output received at browser (ArrayBuffer frames) PASS

Known upstream issues (out of Phase 1 scope):

  • CPR reply bytes (^[[row;colR) are echoed back by hero_proc as visible output — this is the upstream hero_proc PTY bug documented in the issue. The router correctly classifies and routes the reply; the echo-back fix lives in hero_proc.
  • Nushell's right-prompt repaint ([3;1H[J) can overwrite short command output at low scroll positions. Unrelated to this PR.

No regressions observed in existing router functionality.
