Summary

  • Add agents.launchers to cmux.json: declare a launcher cmux does not own, and session restore re-supplies it instead of resuming the agent directly.
  • Detect the wrapper among the agent's ancestor processes at capture time, record its id on the launch command, and prepend its declared argv when a resume argv is built — app resume-command builder, CLI hook-side builder, and the structured restore planner.
  • Carry the id hook -> app -> CLI through the surface-resume socket payload (external_launcher), so auto-resume and cmux restore agree and cmux surface resume get --json shows it.

Why: launcher-aware resume enumerates cmux-owned wrappers only (claudeTeams, codexTeams, omo, omx, omc in AgentResumeArgv.launcherResolution). A wrapper cmux does not own — a multi-account router such as teamclaude run --auto-fallback -- <claude argv>, an LLM-gateway front end, any <wrapper> run -- <agent argv> shim — execs the agent as a child, so the capture records the inner claude and restore replays a bare claude --resume <id>. The wrapper is dropped silently: traffic leaves the router and account fallback, quota spreading and request logging are gone from the restored pane. Closes #10494.

Shape notes:

  • A declaration carries an argv prefix, not a command template: the agent argv cmux already builds is reused verbatim, so a wrapper never restates the agent's flags and no second quoting layer appears. includesAgentExecutable covers env-style wrappers that want the full command.
  • Identity is the executable position, not a substring or a window: detect.argvExecutables compares an ancestor's executable (or its last path component) against the declaration, following env prefixes, package runners, and interpreters two levels deep (env VAR1=1 VAR2=2 llm-gateway exec, node /usr/local/bin/teamclaude run, npx --yes teamclaude run). An argument is never a candidate, so --add-dir ~/src/teamclaude-notes cannot claim a session. After an interpreter the search stops at its first option, because those decide what the program is (-e/-c inline, -m module, - stdin, --import/--loader resolution) — a wrapper is recognized in the plain node /path/to/wrapper form, and anything more exotic resumes unwrapped.
  • Hooks survive the wrap. When the prefix replaces the agent executable, cmux keeps its per-surface agent shim first on PATH — in the restore environment for structured restores, and as a POSIX prefix assignment expanded at replay time for stored bindings, so a binding that outlives its shim file degrades instead of failing.
  • The prefix is applied when the resume command is rendered, so a binding's typed prepared_arguments stay the agent's own argv and AgentRestorePlanner cannot stack the prefix twice.
  • Hermes preflight commands are built from the unwrapped argv and then wrapped as whole commands, so a wrapped Hermes restore keeps --profile <pin> config set … intact instead of running the wrapper's own config subcommand.
  • The captured id survives hook-record merging: ancestor detection can miss on a later hook once the launcher process is gone, and the record that wins the durable-evidence comparison must not erase an id the session was captured with.
  • The prefix is applied after managed-wrapper routing, so a wrapped restore keeps CMUX_AGENT_RESTORE_LAUNCH and the custom-executable hint.
  • Only resume is wrapped. Fresh launches already run under the wrapper, and .direct restores are untouched.
  • Failure is always "as before", and declarations fail closed: a removed declaration, a malformed config, or a field the user wrote that cmux cannot use ("kinds": [], a string resumeArgvPrefix, a wrong type) makes that one declaration unusable rather than widening it — the rest of the file still applies. Detection is depth-bounded (8 ancestors) so a login shell is never mistaken for a launcher.
  • Not in this PR: fork. AgentForkArgv still rebuilds a bare agent argv, so Fork Conversation on a wrapped session starts outside the wrapper. Wrapping it is the same one-line prefix, but whether a fork should inherit the launcher is a product call — happy to add it here if you want it.
  • Session tracking is unaffected — hooks already work through wrappers, and cmux hooks setup --agent claude remains the answer for a wrapper that bypasses the shim.

Docs: docs/configuration.md gains an agents.launchers section. Schema description mirrors it. No new user-facing app strings, so no Localizable.xcstrings / web/messages changes; the schema section follows vault (English description, no descriptionKey, not in the docs-page sectionOrder).

Regression pair per AGENTS.md: commit 1 adds the config value types plus tests, with structuredClaudeResumeReSuppliesTheExternalLauncher red; commit 2 applies the declaration and turns it green.

Testing

CI does not run on fork PRs (workflows sit in action_required), so validation is local:

  • arch -arm64 swift test --package-path Packages/macOS/CMUXAgentLaunch — 372 tests, incl. 28 new in AgentExternalLauncherTests (config decoding, fail-closed rejection of declared-but-unusable fields and of a doubly-declared scope, project-over-user precedence, executable-position identity across env/interpreter chains, forwarding depth bound, ancestor walk depth/root bounds, prefix application, PATH shim routing in both directions, replay-time shim expansion, wrapped Hermes preflights, id preservation across record merging, planner integration, direct-restore exemption).
  • arch -arm64 swift test --package-path Packages/macOS/CmuxControlSocket --filter ControlCommandCoordinatorSurfaceTests — 27 tests, incl. the new socket round-trip proving external_launcher survives surface.resume.set -> surface.resume.get.
  • arch -arm64 xcodebuild -scheme cmux -configuration Debug -destination 'platform=macOS' -derivedDataPath /tmp/cmux-extlauncher-app buildBUILD SUCCEEDED.
  • arch -arm64 xcodebuild -scheme cmux-cli -configuration Debug -destination 'platform=macOS' -derivedDataPath /tmp/cmux-extlauncher buildBUILD SUCCEEDED.
  • cmux-unit build-for-testing: green only with a local workaround for the pre-existing cmuxTests/TextBoxPendingPasteReservationTests.swift:406 failure (NSTextAttachment.character is absent from the local macOS 26 SDK). The workaround is not in this branch.

Manually verified the reported case on cmux 0.64.22 before the change: a pane running teamclaude run --auto-fallback -- --permission-mode auto records kind=claude, launcher=claude, prepared_arguments=["claude","--resume",<id>,"--permission-mode","auto"] — the wrapper is absent from the binding.

A launcher cmux does not own (a multi-account router such as teamclaude, a
gateway shim, any "<wrapper> run -- <agent argv>" front end) execs the real
agent as a child, so the capture records the inner claude and restore replays a
bare "claude --resume <id>". The wrapper is dropped silently.

This commit adds only the config value types needed to express the behavior plus
the tests. The resume path still ignores the declaration, so
structuredClaudeResumeReSuppliesTheExternalLauncher is red.

Refs manaflow-ai#10494
Detect the wrapper among the agent's ancestor processes when the launch is
captured, record its id on the launch command, and prepend its declared argv
when a resume argv is built: in the app's resume-command builder, in the CLI's
hook-side builder, and in the structured restore planner. The id travels
hook -> app -> CLI through the surface-resume socket payload, so auto-resume and
`cmux restore` agree, and `cmux surface resume get --json` shows it.

The prefix is applied after managed-wrapper routing, so a wrapped restore keeps
its authorization environment and custom-executable hint.

Declarations live in `agents.launchers` in cmux.json. A project-level file
overrides a user-level entry with the same id; a declaration that is removed or
cannot be used (no detection needle, no prefix, malformed id) leaves restore
exactly as it was.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to beb80

This change adds external launcher handling to session restore, but several current paths can still restore sessions without their configured wrapper, invoke the wrong command, or abort certain Hermes restores. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded restore-correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

P1 Unreliable launcher identity matching

When a configured needle occurs incidentally in any argument of the agent’s first eight ancestor processes, this substring match records that declaration as the launcher. Resume then replaces the agent executable with that launcher’s prefix, causing the session to use the wrong router or account or fail to restore.

Good catch — fixed. Substring matching is gone.

detect.argvContains is now detect.argvExecutables, and a match requires an argv word, or that word's last path component, to equal an entry. It is also limited to the first AgentExternalLauncher.maximumIdentifyingArgvWords (4) words, since a launcher is the command being run and appears at the front of its own argv — either as argv[0] (teamclaude run …) or just behind an interpreter or env prefix (node /usr/local/bin/teamclaude run …, env VAR=1 llm-gateway exec …).

So the cases that used to claim a session no longer do:

  • claude --add-dir /Users/me/src/teamclaude-notes — no match (basename is teamclaude-notes)
  • /usr/local/bin/teamclaude-legacy run — no match (different program)
  • /bin/zsh -lc -- something teamclaude — no match (past the leading words)

Covered by launcherIdentityRequiresAnExactExecutableMatch and launcherIsIdentifiedOnlyInLeadingArgvWords; the schema description and docs/configuration.md state the exact-match rule.

P1 Claude shim token gets dropped

When a Claude session uses the default includesAgentExecutable: false, prefix application removes the claude executable before the portable shell renderer runs. The renderer therefore cannot substitute cmux’s hook-injecting shim, causing the restored process to lose session tracking and notifications.

You are right, and it needed a real fix rather than a doc note — thanks.

When the prefix replaces the agent executable, cmux now keeps its per-surface shim reachable on PATH, so the wrapper's own claude lookup still finds the hook-injecting shim:

  • structured restore (AgentRestorePlanner): the shim's directory is prepended to PATH in the restore environment, resolved through the same isExecutableFile check the argv routing uses.
  • stored shell bindings (app + CLI hook side): the command gets a POSIX prefix assignment PATH="${CMUX_CLAUDE_WRAPPER_SHIM:+${CMUX_CLAUDE_WRAPPER_SHIM%/*}:}$PATH", wrapped in /bin/sh -c like the existing token-bearing claude command. The shim path is deliberately not baked in: a stored binding outlives the shim file (the temp dir is reaped after a few days), so the managed variable is expanded at replay time and simply adds nothing when it is unset.

includesAgentExecutable: true declarations are left alone — they receive the shim path themselves.

Covered by wrappedResumeKeepsTheAgentShimReachableOnPath (both directions) and storedShellCommandDefersShimResolutionToReplayTime. A wrapper that ignores PATH and hardcodes an absolute agent path still needs the pre-existing global fallback, cmux hooks setup --agent claude, which the docs now say explicitly.

P2 Ambient launcher configuration state

This static registry captures filesystem configuration and the process’s initial working directory globally, hiding those dependencies from both capture and restore call sites. Loading and injecting the registry at the relevant CLI seam would make its scope and configuration context explicit and testable.

Agreed, and it was hiding a real bug, not just a style problem — the static registry captured the CLI process's initial working directory, so a project-level cmux.json was resolved from wherever the process started rather than from the agent session's directory.

The static let is gone. externalAgentLaunchers(workingDirectory:) now takes the project directory explicitly and is called with the context each seam already has: the capture passes the launch's working directory, the resume-command builder passes the session's, and cmux restore passes the record's. It is read per call, like CmuxVaultAgentRegistry.load, and only when a launcher id was actually captured — so a config edit mid-session is picked up instead of going stale.

  longer claim a session.
- Hooks: when the prefix replaces the agent executable, the per-surface agent
  shim stays reachable on PATH — prepended in the restore environment for
  structured restores, and as a POSIX prefix assignment expanded at replay time
  for stored shell bindings, so a binding that outlives its shim file degrades
  instead of failing.
- Config context: the process-wide registry is gone. The project-level cmux.json
  is now resolved from the agent session's directory rather than from whatever
  directory the CLI process started in, and is read only when a launcher id was
  captured.
- Validation: a field the user wrote but cmux cannot use makes that one
  declaration unusable instead of widening it — `"kinds": []` no longer means
  every agent, and `resumeArgvPrefix` must be an array. The rest of the file
  still applies. Schema requires non-whitespace strings and a non-empty `kinds`.
- The prefix is applied when the resume command is rendered, so a binding's
  typed `prepared_arguments` stay the agent's own argv and the restore planner
  cannot stack the prefix twice.

P1 Launcher detection drops valid wrappers

When an external launcher follows four leading argv words, such as env VAR1=1 VAR2=2 VAR3=3 llm-gateway exec …, argv.prefix(4) excludes the launcher executable and no launcher id is captured. Resume then runs the bare agent command, bypassing the configured router, account fallback, quota spreading, and request logging.

Right — the fixed four-word window was the wrong shape. Replaced with the actual rule it was approximating: identify the executable position, not a window.

identifyingExecutables(in:) takes argv[0], and when that is a command that runs another program named later in the same argv — env, node/bun/deno, npx/pnpm/yarn, python/uv/uvx, tsx/ts-node, … — it skips that command's own NAME=value assignments and options (including the ones that take a separate value, env -u NAME, node -e code) and takes the next word too, up to two levels. No offset limit, so your exact case works regardless of how many variables are set:

  • env VAR1=1 VAR2=2 VAR3=3 llm-gateway exec -- claudellm-gateway
  • /usr/bin/env -u NODE_OPTIONS VAR=1 /opt/bin/llm-gateway execllm-gateway
  • env VAR=1 node /usr/local/lib/llm-gateway execllm-gateway
  • npx --yes llm-gateway execllm-gateway

And the false positives stay closed, because an argument is never the executable:

  • claude --resume <id> --add-dir teamclaude → no match ✅
  • /bin/zsh -lc -- something teamclaude → no match ✅

Shells are deliberately not in the forwarding set: sh -c "…" keeps its command inside one string argument, and a shell that execs a program is replaced by it, so the launcher shows up as its own process with its own argv anyway.

Covered by forwardingCommandsDoNotHideTheLauncher (parameterized over the five argv shapes above, including yours), launcherIsIdentifiedOnlyInTheExecutablePosition, and forwardingIsNotFollowedIndefinitely — which also asserts the shallower chain still resolves, so the depth cap cannot silently swallow a real wrapper.

The four-word window dropped valid wrappers: `env VAR1=1 VAR2=2 VAR3=3
llm-gateway exec` pushes the launcher past it. Identification now follows the
executable position instead — argv[0], plus the program named by a forwarding
command (env, node/bun/deno, npx/pnpm/yarn, python/uv, tsx/ts-node) after
skipping that command's own assignments and options, two levels deep. Arguments
are never candidates, so a path or flag carrying the launcher's name still
cannot claim a session.

Shells stay out of the forwarding set: `sh -c` keeps its command in one string
argument, and a shell that execs a program is replaced by it, so the launcher
appears as its own process.

P1 Option separator hides launcher executable

When a forwarding command uses an option terminator, such as env -- llm-gateway exec -- claude, indexOfForwardedExecutable returns the -- token as the executable and never examines llm-gateway. The launcher id is therefore not captured, causing restore to run the bare agent and bypass the configured router, account fallback, quota spreading, or logging.

P1 Restore loads unrelated project launcher

When the saved working directory is unavailable, effectiveWorkingDirectory falls back to the directory from which cmux restore was invoked, and that directory is used to resolve the captured launcher id. Invoking restore from another project can therefore select that project's launcher prefix or omit the original declaration, causing the wrong wrapper to run or the agent to resume unwrapped.

Knowledge Base Used: CLI tool (cmux)

- Preflights are built before the launcher prefix is applied and then wrapped as
  whole commands. Wrapping the agent argv first left a preflight as
  `<wrapper> config set …`, running the wrapper's own subcommand with the agent
  dropped and `exec --` lost.
- `kind` and `kinds` together no longer resolve to whichever the decoder happens
  to prefer: the declaration fails closed, and the schema flags the combination.

Preserve the external launcher prefix for Hermes preflights.

Line 112 wraps routedArguments before hermesPreflights runs. hermesPreflights uses only arguments.first for each preflight command. A prefix such as ["teamhermes", "exec", "--"] therefore produces teamhermes config set ... and drops exec and --.

Build Hermes preflights from the unwrapped agent arguments. Then apply the same AgentExternalLauncher.applyingResumePrefix(to:) contract to each preflight invocation.

132-147: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Apply shim routing to each preflight environment.

When includesAgentExecutable is false, line 134 removes the managed-wrapper shim from each preflight command. Lines 143-147 update only the main invocation environment after each preflight has captured its own environment at line 135. A wrapped Hermes preflight can then fail to locate the shim, or bypass cmux hook routing, when the shim is not already on PATH.

Apply environmentRoutingWrappedAgentThroughShim to every preflight.environment in this branch. Preserve the preflight-specific Hermes environment values. Add an assertion that each wrapped preflight receives the routed shim path.

Skip the -- option terminator before selecting the executable.

Hook captures for one session are compared for durable resume evidence, and the
winner can be a record whose ancestor detection missed — the launcher process may
already have exited. That erased the captured id and silently unwrapped the
session from the next hook onward.

`AgentLaunchCommand.preservingExternalLauncher(from:)` carries the first id found
among the session's other records when the selected one has none, and
`preferredAgentHookResumeLaunchCommand` applies it before the codex repair step.
The rule lives in the package because the CLI seam has no unit-test target.

Also folds the four launch-record constructors in
`agentLaunchCommandFromEnvironment` into one local builder, so the record's
identity fields are declared once rather than per capture path.

Both from the Merge Risk block on 460b8:

- `env -- llm-gateway exec` captured no launcher: the forwarding scan treated the
  `--` separator (and a bare `-`) as the program being run. Separators are now
  skipped, so the program after them is the candidate.
- A wrapped Hermes preflight ran without the agent shim on PATH. Each preflight
  runs the same agent through the same wrapper as the resumed session, so it now
  gets the same PATH routing rather than only the main invocation.

The hook-side shell builder sanitized captured working-directory options and
rewrote the Hermes provider on the already-wrapped argv, so a prefix carrying a
path equal to the captured working directory could be stripped, or a wrapper's
own words rewritten. The prefix is now applied after both rewrites, matching the
order the structured planner already used.

Also switches a test's JSONC stand-in to the failable String(data:encoding:) the

Merge Risk (🟡 on 5ed8c) — one real issue fixed, two are stated behavior

1. "restored sessions can lose launcher-owned working-directory options" — real, fixed in 3300928.
The hook-side shell builder sanitized captured working-directory options and rewrote the Hermes provider on the already wrapped argv. A prefix carrying a path equal to the captured working directory could therefore be stripped, and a wrapper's own words could be rewritten. The prefix is now applied after both rewrites, which is the order the structured planner already used. launcherPrefixSurvivesWorkingDirectorySanitizing pins the invariant: a prefix of ["teamclaude", "run", "--state-dir", <cwd>, "--"] survives intact while the agent's resume argv still follows it.

2. "fail to reapply wrappers for some standard command forms" — intended, documented.
After an interpreter, identification stops at the first option, because an interpreter's options decide what its program is (-e/-c inline, -m module, - stdin, --import/--loader resolution). A wrapper is recognized in the plain node /usr/local/bin/wrapper form — how package-installed wrappers actually run — and a more exotic invocation resumes unwrapped rather than risking attribution to a launcher that never ran. That trade-off is stated in the schema description and in docs/configuration.md, and inlineProgramOptionsEndTheSearch covers it. Happy to widen it if you would rather trade the other way.

3. "resolve an unintended launcher configuration" — intended, documented.
agents.launchers is read at capture and at resume rather than snapshotted, so editing cmux.json mid-session takes effect on the next resume, and a project-level file overrides a user-level entry with the same id. A declaration that is removed or unusable resumes the session unwrapped — including the case where a project override reuses an id and gets a field wrong (abrokenProjectOverrideDoesNotRestoreTheUserLevelPrefix), which is the one place this could have silently applied a prefix the user did not intend. If you would prefer the id to be resolved against a snapshot taken at capture time, that is a small change — say the word.

Head is 3300928. 374 package tests green; cmux and cmux-cli build.

29340-29368: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the Hermes bootstrap executable resolution when an external launcher wraps the agent.

agentSurfaceResumeShellCommand computes resumeCommandParts as agentCommandParts with the external launcher's prefix applied (line 29350-29351). For kind == "hermes-agent", the call at line 29362-29368 passes resumeCommandParts to hermesAgentSubrouterResumeCommand as its arguments parameter.

hermesAgentSubrouterResumeCommand uses arguments.first to compute hermesExecutable for its bootstrap config set commands, and scans arguments for --provider/model.api_mode through hermesAgentArgumentsAllowCodexBootstrap/hermesAgentArgumentsSetModelAPIMode. When an external launcher wraps hermes-agent, resumeCommandParts.first is the launcher's own executable, not hermes. The generated bootstrap line becomes <launcher-executable> config set model.provider ... >/dev/null && ..., which the launcher does not understand. These bootstrap lines are &&-chained before the actual resume command, so a failing bootstrap line aborts the entire resume.

Pass agentCommandParts instead of resumeCommandParts to hermesAgentSubrouterResumeCommand. agentCommandParts is the sanitized, pre-launcher-prefix agent argv, so it correctly starts with the Hermes executable and carries only the agent's own flags.

🐛 Proposed fix
         if kind == "hermes-agent" {
             command = hermesAgentSubrouterResumeCommand(
                 command,
-                arguments: resumeCommandParts,

Comment thread Sources/RestorableAgentSession.swift
The app's resume-command builder wrapped the argv before `shellCommand`
sanitized it, so a prefix carrying its own `--cwd <dir>` (or `-C`, `--workspace`)
lost that option whenever the value matched the restore directory. Sanitizing now
runs on the agent's own argv and the prefix is applied after, matching the CLI
path and the structured planner.

The environment prefix is assembled after wrapping rather than being sanitized
alongside the argv: those words are `NAME=value`, never working-directory
options, so nothing was being stripped from them.

The regression test now pins `--cwd`, which the sanitizer actually strips;
`--state-dir` passed regardless and proved nothing.

Keep Hermes bootstrap resolution on the agent argv.

When an external launcher is configured, resumeCommandParts.first is the launcher executable. hermesAgentSubrouterResumeCommand then generates teamhermes config set ... instead of configuring Hermes when CUSTOM_BASE_URL is set. Pass agentCommandParts for executable resolution, and keep any external-launcher prefix applied to each complete bootstrap command.

The CLI builder derived the bootstrap executable from the already-wrapped argv,
so `hermes config set …` became `<wrapper> config set …`: the wrapper's own
subcommand, with the agent gone. Bootstrap commands are now built from the
agent's argv and each is passed through the launcher, the same shape the
structured planner uses for its preflights.

Merge Risk (🟡 on 98a9e) — the Hermes item was real, fixed in 9ca1d19

"Hermes restores use the wrong executable and fail" — correct, and it was the CLI twin of the planner bug fixed earlier.

hermesAgentSubrouterResumeCommand derived its bootstrap executable from arguments.first, and I had started passing it the wrapped argv. So hermes config set model.provider … became <wrapper> config set … — the wrapper's own subcommand, with the agent dropped, and the bootstrap chain fails before the session is restored.

Bootstrap commands are now built from the agent's own argv ([hermesExecutable] + ["config", "set", …]) and each one is passed through applyingResumePrefix, so a wrapped Hermes resume runs teamhermes exec -- config set model.provider … per bootstrap step, then the resumed session. That is the same shape AgentRestorePlanner already uses for its preflight invocations, so both paths now agree.

I checked the app-side builder for the same pattern: it has no Hermes bootstrap, so there is no third copy of this.

Head is 9ca1d19. 374 package tests green; cmux-cli builds.

On the two standing items from the previous block — the interpreter-option stop and reading agents.launchers at resume time — those remain deliberate and documented; I laid out the reasoning and the alternatives in the earlier comment, and I am happy to change either if a maintainer prefers the other trade-off.

P1 Option values become executables

When a launcher is invoked through a package runner with an unlisted value-taking option such as npx --package <pkg> teamclaude run, the parser treats <pkg> as the forwarded executable and never reaches teamclaude. Capture therefore either omits the actual launcher and resumes the agent bare, or records another declaration whose executable matches the option value and restores through the wrong wrapper.

Correct, and the same shape would have come back for --filter, --workspace, --prefix, and every future runner option. So instead of extending the value-taking list, I inverted the policy: option skipping is now a whitelist per command family, and anything outside it ends the search.

  • env: known flag options (-i, -0, -v, …) skip one word, known value options (-u, -C, -S, -P, …) skip two, anything else stops.
  • Package runners: only standalone flags are skipped (--yes, -y, --quiet, --silent, --offline, --prefer-offline, --no-install, --ignore-existing). --package, --filter, --call, and anything unknown stop the search.
  • Interpreters: unchanged, they stop at the first option.

So npx --package some-pkg llm-gateway exec and pnpm --filter app llm-gateway now detect nothing and resume unwrapped, while npx --yes llm-gateway exec still resolves. An unknown option can no longer be mistaken for a launcher — it can only cost the wrapper on that resume, which is the failure direction this feature should take. Covered in inlineProgramOptionsEndTheSearch (renamed cases added for --package, --filter, and an unknown env flag).

…ory alone

Two ways the scan could mislead:

- An unlisted value-taking option made its value look like the program:
  `npx --package <pkg> wrapper` attributed the session to `<pkg>`. Option
  skipping is now a whitelist per family — env flag options, env value options,
  package-runner flag options — and anything else ends the search, so an unknown
  option means "resume unwrapped" rather than a guess. Interpreters keep
  stopping at their first option.
- Shim routing set PATH to the shim directory when PATH was absent or empty.
  That directory holds only the agent shim, so the wrapper itself became
  unresolvable and a lost-hooks degradation turned into a failed resume. The
  routing is now strictly a prefix of an existing PATH.

P1 Restore uses unrelated launcher config

When a saved session working directory no longer exists and cmux restore runs from another project, effectiveWorkingDirectory becomes the invocation directory and launcher resolution searches that project's configuration. This can select a different prefix for the captured launcher ID or omit the original declaration, causing the agent to resume through the wrong wrapper or without one.

Real, and worse than it looks: effectiveWorkingDirectory falls back to the invocation directory precisely when the saved one is gone, so running cmux restore --surface from another repo would resolve that repo's agents.launchers and apply its prefix to this session's captured id — a wrapper the session never ran under.

Resolution now uses the session's own recorded directory (record.launchCommand?.workingDirectory ?? record.workingDirectory) and never the invocation directory. When neither is recorded, only the user-level config applies, which is the conservative end.

Comment thread CLI/cmux.swift
`cmux restore` resolved `agents.launchers` from the effective restore directory,
which falls back to the invocation directory when the saved one is gone. Running
it from another project could therefore apply that project's prefix to this
session's captured id. Resolution now uses the session's own recorded directory.

Hook events also re-read the config per call; a CLI process handles one event, so
reads are now memoized per directory within the invocation, which covers the
capture and resume-command builders asking for the same directory. Nothing is
shared across invocations, so a config edit still applies to the next event.

@lawrencecchen @austinywang PTAL when you get a chance.

First — thank you for cmux. It has been my daily driver for months, and claude-teams / omo are the reason I stopped hand-rolling tmux panes.

What I hit. I run Claude through teamclaude, a multi-account router. Every restore came back as a bare claude --resume <id>, outside the router — account fallback and quota spreading silently gone, with nothing in the UI to suggest it. Rather than only filing it (#10494), I brought the fix: agents.launchers in cmux.json declares a wrapper cmux does not own, and resume re-supplies it. Same shape works for an LLM-gateway front end or any <wrapper> run -- <agent argv> shim.

Status. 15 bot rounds, 25 findings, all addressed — each with a regression test and an answer in-thread. Several were genuine bugs I would not have found alone: the agent shim dropping out of PATH when the prefix replaces argv[0], the captured id being erased during hook-record merging, Hermes bootstrap commands taking the wrapper's own subcommand. 375 package tests green; cmux, cmux-cli, and cmux-unit all build locally. CI does not run on fork PRs, so the full validation log is in the PR body.

Two design calls are yours, and I am happy to flip either:

  1. Launcher identification parses argv by position — argv[0], plus the program behind env / interpreters / package runners, two levels deep. It fails closed: an unknown option ends the search, so an exotic invocation resumes unwrapped rather than being attributed to the wrong launcher. If you would rather keep this trivial, I can cut it to argv[0] only and have users declare node-style wrappers by their script path instead.
  2. agents.launchers is read at capture and at resume, so editing cmux.json applies from the next resume, and a project file overrides a user-level entry. A snapshot-taken-at-capture variant is a small change if you prefer immutability there.

Happy to split this (config values + planner first, then the two shell builders), or to add fork support — AgentForkArgv still rebuilds a bare agent argv, which I left out deliberately since whether a fork should inherit the wrapper is a product call.

P1 Joined options hide launcher executable

When an external launcher is invoked through env with a joined value option such as env --chdir=/tmp llm-gateway exec, the exact-set lookup rejects --chdir=/tmp because it recognizes only bare --chdir. Detection stops before llm-gateway, so resume replays the agent directly and bypasses the configured router, account fallback, quota distribution, and logging.

Right — the whitelist compared whole words, so --chdir=/tmp missed it and the search stopped one word short of the wrapper. A miss here costs the wrapper on that resume rather than misattributing it, but it is still wrong.

Fixed in b0f375f: the option name is taken up to the =, and a joined value shifts the program one word closer instead of two. env --chdir=/tmp llm-gateway exec, env --unset=NODE_OPTIONS VAR=1 llm-gateway exec, and npx --yes=true llm-gateway exec are now all identified; added to forwardingCommandsDoNotHideTheLauncher.

Note for anyone reading this thread later: I am not requesting further bot passes on this PR. CodeRabbit auto-paused reviews on this branch early on ("influx of new commits"), and I kept forcing full passes past that point, which was the wrong call on my side — 15 rounds of it. The remaining open questions are design trade-offs rather than defects, and they are laid out for the maintainers in the PTAL comment above. I will keep fixing anything concrete that lands, but without asking for more rounds.

Confirmed fixed in b0f375f. The updated logic correctly splits --chdir=/tmp at = to get optionName = "--chdir", matches it against environmentCommandValueOptions, and advances by 1 (joined) instead of 2 (spaced), landing on llm-gateway. Same applies to --unset=NODE_OPTIONS and the package-runner path since both now use optionName for the whitelist lookup. Resolved.

Tip: You can customize Greptile's behavior for this repo with .greptile/rules.md and .greptile/config.json.

Thanks for closing this out. The fix is correct — splitting at = to get the option name and treating a joined value as a one-word shift rather than two handles --chdir=/tmp, --unset=NODE_OPTIONS, and --yes=true cleanly without needing to enumerate every possible joined form. No further action needed from my side on this thread.

`env --chdir=/tmp wrapper` carries the option value in the same word, so the
whitelist lookup rejected it and the search stopped one word before the wrapper.
The option name is now taken up to the `=`, and a joined value shifts the program
one word closer instead of two.
