fix(server): prevent Linux workspace launch identity timeouts (#625)
## Summary
- prevent Linux workspace startup from failing when process identity
discovery exceeds its one-second command deadline
- capture the launched process and its existing process-group members
without spawning helper commands for every `/proc` entry
- preserve the leader-exit cleanup guarantees introduced by #602
- read immutable Linux process start ticks correctly and tolerate
multiline task names

## Root cause
Workspace startup captures an immutable process identity before
accepting the OpenCode runtime. The Linux implementation scanned every
process and launched several `cat`, `cut`, `sed`, `basename`, and
`dirname` helpers per entry. On the affected Mint host, that synchronous
shell command exceeded its one-second timeout. Identity capture then
failed closed and stopped the newly launched OpenCode process; cleanup
retried the same expensive probes and produced the repeated `spawnSync
sh ETIMEDOUT` errors.

The identity parser also used `$20`, which POSIX shells interpret as
`$2` followed by `0`, rather than the twentieth positional field. This
did not cause the startup timeout but weakened immutable process
matching and is corrected here.

## Safety
- launch discovery still retains every already-started member of the
observed process group
- guarded cleanup remains identity- and launch-token-based; no
unverified PID fallback is introduced
- WSL, macOS, and Windows paths retain their existing platform-specific
probes

## Validation
- server TypeScript typecheck
- focused process identity and runtime suite: 23 passed, 1 Linux-only
test skipped on Windows
- real WSL `/proc` probe: correct start identity, 2 group members, 4 ms
- broader workspace suite: 79 passed, 3 platform skips
- `git diff --check`

The broader workspace run still has the unrelated existing Windows
fixture failure in `git-worktrees.test.ts` (`undefined` instead of
`main`).

CodeNomad

The AI Coding Cockpit for OpenCode

CodeNomad transforms OpenCode from a terminal tool into a premium desktop workspace — built for developers who live inside AI coding sessions for hours and need control, speed, and clarity.

OpenCode gives you the engine. CodeNomad gives you the cockpit.

Multi-instance workspace


Features

  • 🚀 Multi-Instance Workspace
  • 🌐 Remote Access
  • 🧠 Session Management
  • 🎙️ Voice Input & Speech
  • 🌳 Git Worktrees
  • 💬 Rich Message Experience
  • 🧩 SideCars
  • ⌨️ Command Palette
  • 📁 File System Browser
  • 🔐 Authentication & Security
  • 🔔 Notifications
  • 🎨 Theming
  • 🌍 Internationalization

Getting Started

🖥️ Desktop App

Available as both Electron and Tauri builds — choose based on your preference.

Download the latest installer for your platform from Releases.

Platform Formats
macOS DMG, ZIP (Universal: Intel + Apple Silicon)
Windows NSIS Installer, ZIP (x64, ARM64)
Linux Tauri deb, Electron portable tar.gz (x64)

The Tauri deb is currently built and installation-tested on Ubuntu 24.04. Compatibility with older Debian-based distributions is not yet guaranteed.

💻 CodeNomad Server

Run as a local server and access via browser. Perfect for remote development.

npx @neuralnomads/codenomad --password <your-password> --launch

Authentication required: The server requires a password on first run. You can pass it via --password, the CODENOMAD_SERVER_PASSWORD environment variable, or create an auth.json file (see Server Documentation).

Self-signed certificate: On first launch with HTTPS enabled (the default), your browser will show a "Your connection is not private" warning. This is expected — the server generates a local self-signed certificate automatically. Click Advanced → Proceed to localhost to continue. For local-only use without the warning, run with --https=false --http=true.

See Server Documentation for flags, TLS, auth, and remote access.

🧪 Dev Releases

Bleeding-edge builds from the dev branch:

npx @neuralnomads/codenomad-dev --password <your-password> --launch

SideCars

SideCars let you open local web tools inside CodeNomad as tabs.

Configuration
  • Name: Display name used in CodeNomad
  • Port: Local HTTP or HTTPS service running on 127.0.0.1:<port>
  • Base path: Mounted under /sidecars/:id
  • Prefix mode:
    • Preserve prefix forwards the full /sidecars/:id/... path upstream
    • Strip prefix removes /sidecars/:id before forwarding the request upstream
VSCode (OpenVSCode Server)

Run with Docker:

docker run -it --init -p 8000:3000 -v "${HOME}:${HOME}:cached" -e HOME=${HOME} gitpod/openvscode-server --server-base-path /sidecars/vscode

Add SideCar as:

  • Name: VSCode
  • Port: http://127.0.0.1:8000
  • Base path: /sidecars/vscode
  • Prefix mode: Preserve prefix
Terminal (ttyd)

Run with:

ttyd --writable zsh

Add SideCar as:

  • Name: Terminal
  • Port: http://127.0.0.1:7681
  • Base path: /sidecars/terminal
  • Prefix mode: Strip prefix

Requirements

  • OpenCode CLI — must be installed and in your PATH
  • Node.js 18+ — for server mode or building from source

Development

CodeNomad is a monorepo built with:

Package Description
packages/server Core logic & CLI — workspaces, OpenCode proxy, API, auth, speech
packages/ui SolidJS frontend — reactive, fast, beautiful
packages/electron-app Desktop shell — process management, IPC, native dialogs
packages/tauri-app Tauri desktop shell (experimental)

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/NeuralNomadsAI/CodeNomad.git
cd CodeNomad
npm install
npm run dev

Troubleshooting

macOS: "CodeNomad.app is damaged and can't be opened"

Gatekeeper flag due to missing notarization. Clear the quarantine attribute:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/CodeNomad.app

On Intel Macs, also check System Settings → Privacy & Security on first launch.

Linux (Wayland + NVIDIA): Tauri App closes immediately

WebKitGTK DMA-BUF/GBM issue. Run with:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 codenomad-tauri

See full workaround in the original README.
