v0.15.12

What's Changed

Fixed

macOS

• SSH password authentication always failed with "Permission denied" (#175) — on macOS the terminal uses a hand-rolled native PTY (VTE's spawn_async does not connect the PTY to the child on the Homebrew build). The spawned child was given the PTY slave as stdin/stdout/stderr but never made it the controlling terminal. Since ssh reads the password from /dev/tty (not stdin) and RustConn disables askpass on macOS (SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=never, #161), ssh could not read the password, tried an empty one three times, and failed with Permission denied (publickey,password). The same affected ssh typed manually in a Local Shell tab. The child is now placed in a new session via setsid(2) and claims the slave PTY as its controlling terminal via TIOCSCTTY, so interactive password prompts work. setsid(2) also supplies the process-group leadership previously set by process_group(0), so job control (Ctrl-C) is preserved.

Changed

• New rustconn-pty-sys crate — the controlling-terminal setup needs pre_exec (an unsafe API), which conflicts with the workspace-wide unsafe_code = "forbid". Per the project's M-UNSAFE guideline, the FFI is isolated in a small dedicated crate that exposes a single safe set_controlling_terminal() function with a documented safety contract. The main crates keep unsafe_code = "forbid" untouched.

Dependencies

• Updated uuid 1.23.2 → 1.23.3
• Updated wasm-bindgen 0.2.122 → 0.2.123 and the related js-sys 0.3.99 → 0.3.100, web-sys 0.3.99 → 0.3.100, wasm-bindgen-futures 0.4.72 → 0.4.73 (transitive)
