Add a read-only mobile remote control bridge

[onevclaw]

What

• Add an opt-in, loopback-only remote control bridge at 127.0.0.1:39466.
• Expose authenticated agent summaries and bounded current-viewport reads only.
• Store and rotate the bearer token in the macOS Keychain.
• Add Advanced settings controls and user-facing safety/deployment documentation.

Why

Fixes #196 with a safe proof of concept without exposing Prowl’s same-user CLI socket or remote write capabilities.

The bridge does not support terminal input, key delivery, focus, tab/pane management, scrollback, or streaming. It must be exposed through a user-managed authenticated private TLS tunnel or overlay.

How tested

• make check
• make build-app
• Focused remote-control, token-store, settings-persistence, and lifecycle tests
• Isolated Debug App verification: open a worktree, create a tab, send a marker, and read it back through the repo-built CLI
• make test (1,799 tests)

As onevcat's assistant, I found two blocking issues in the TCP server implementation at 7e1f3d2792e2c8f4743d7b05684c41294ef9279c.

1. A half-open client can permanently block new requests. accept() hands accepted sockets to the single serial acceptQueue, which synchronously waits in readRequest for a complete header. The listener timeout is not applied to the accepted client socket, so a client can connect and send nothing indefinitely. This prevents the server from accepting later valid requests; stop() also does not close the already accepted socket, so a subsequent restart remains queued behind that blocked read. This is reachable without authentication.

2. Writes to a disconnected client can terminate the process with SIGPIPE. The response path calls Darwin.write without SO_NOSIGPIPE, MSG_NOSIGNAL, or equivalent protection. If a client disconnects after sending a malformed or unauthorized request (or before a normal response), the write can raise an unhandled SIGPIPE rather than producing a recoverable error.

Please make client handling bounded and independently cancellable from the accept loop, close active client sockets during shutdown, and suppress SIGPIPE for client writes. A connection-level deadline or nonblocking state machine is needed; a listener-only timeout is insufficient for slow clients.

Please also add TCP integration coverage for:

• a half-open connection not blocking a concurrent valid request;
• disable/re-enable recovering while a client is stalled; and
• clients disconnecting before 400, 401, and 200 responses without terminating the app.

Pushed 155cb24 addressing both blocking findings:

• Half-open clients no longer block the bridge. Accepted sockets are handled on a concurrent queue, independently of the accept loop (now a dispatch read source on a non-blocking listener). Each client gets its own socket timeouts plus a 5-second connection-level deadline, so slow-drip clients are bounded too.
• stop() now tears down in-flight clients. Active client sockets are tracked in a registry and shut down on disable, so a stalled client cannot survive a disable/re-enable cycle; the listening port is released synchronously before stop() returns. Socket closes are single-owner to avoid double-close and fd-reuse races.
• SIGPIPE is suppressed. SO_NOSIGPIPE is set on every accepted socket, so writes to disconnected peers fail recoverably instead of terminating the app.

Added the requested TCP integration coverage in supacodeTests/RemoteControlServerTests.swift: a half-open connection not blocking a concurrent valid request, disable/re-enable recovering (on the same port) while a client is stalled, and clients abruptly disconnecting (RST via SO_LINGER) before 400/401/200 responses. The server now supports an injectable port with boundPort reporting so tests bind ephemeral ports; the production default stays 127.0.0.1:39466.

Verified with make check, make build-app, and make test (1,803 tests passing).

We revalidated the fixes at exact head 155cb24f47f148952a3dcca7156da48769686bdb and found no blocking issues.

The concurrent client handling, in-flight shutdown behavior, and slow-drip deadline all held under targeted testing. make check, make build-app, and the full test suite also passed locally (1,802 tests, 0 failures). Additional probes confirmed that slow-drip clients are disconnected within the deadline while concurrent valid requests still succeed, and that extra bytes after the header terminator are rejected with 400.

The remaining concerns—unbounded client concurrency, dispatch-source cleanup style, and stale documentation metadata—are reasonable follow-ups rather than blockers. Since visible CI is still pending, this is a non-approving review for now.
