feat(agents): install and sign in to an agent in a visible terminal tab - #2328
PR 2 of 4 for installing agents from Ovis, stacked on #2326 (review against feat/agent-install-catalog;
merge #2326 first). It adds the install, re-detect and sign-in flow, with no entry point yet:
onboarding comes in PR 3, and Settings plus the New workspace / New tab picker in PR 4.
POST /api/agent-catalog/install{ agent, alternative? } opens a terminal tab labelled
"Install " in the first workspace (or a new one) at the home folder. It types the agent's
official command for this PC's platform, chosen by the server from the catalog: the primary command,
or alternatives[alternative]. The request never carries a command; a command field in the body
is ignored. The command is checked against the catalog's fixed forms and vendor allowlist again
right before it is typed. Every line shows in the tab, and Ctrl+C stops it; nothing runs in the
background. On Windows, a command written for another shell than the tab's is refused
(409 shell_mismatch).
POST /api/agent-catalog/sign-in{ agent } opens a tab running the installed agent's own
sign-in command, or the agent itself where it signs in inside. It answers 409 not_installed before
the agent is there.
Both routes are mutations: a watch device gets 403 read_only, and a request with no credential gets
401. Another PC's install goes through /api/machines/<id>/agent-catalog/(install|sign-in) with
that PC's bridge token. The demo answers 409.
AgentSetupCard shows Install then Sign in on one card, the v2/v3 design the owner approved.
The steps are a pure reducer (src/lib/agentSetup.ts).
While the install runs, the card reads GET /api/agent-catalog every 3 s. Installed is decided by
detection, never by the tab's exit: Devin's installer exits 1 after installing, and others succeed
without the agent on PATH yet.
Show details shows the exact command, Open terminal shows its tab, and Cancel leaves the tab as it
is.
The wording is plain, for beginners: "Installed. New terminal tabs will find it.", with the PATH
detail only under Show details.
New strings are translated in ko, ja and zh; "Install" and "Sign in" move to the base dictionary.
Screenshots (Codex theme)
Desktop 1280 and phone 390, dark and light, showing five states (not installed, installing, installed
-> sign in, ready, failed), shared with the owner before this PR was opened. They are in the lane
report folder (pr2-shots/).
Every agent Ovis can install, each with the vendor's own install command
per platform (copied from the vendor's current docs, with the page and the
date it was read), what the command needs, how to tell the agent is
installed, how it is signed in to, the oldest version an Ovis feature
needs, and its clean-PC runs.
commandProblems() holds every command to the entry's own HTTPS address
prefixes and packages, with no sudo; the catalog's test fails on any
other host, scheme or package.
…talled
The catalog for this PC's platform, with each agent's installed state and
version. A binary is looked for on the server's PATH, then on the login
shell's (the real entrypoints), then in its installer's own folder, which
a fresh install often adds to PATH only for new terminals; on_path says
which. Its version flag runs with no input and a 5 s limit, and the
version is kept until the executable file changes.
Read only and no-store; a watching device may read it, and the connection
server reaches another PC's through the PC proxy with that PC's bridge
token. The demo answers it from the same catalog.
Claude Code, Codex, Grok and Antigravity install on a clean Windows VM;
pi waits at its Node question without a terminal, Oh My Pi stops on an
older Bun, and OmO refuses an elevated shell. Claude Code's Windows
installer folder is added to its install_dirs.
…group, fixed command forms
From the merge pass's review of #2326:
- A plain GET ran a binary from the server's working folder when PATH
held ".": detection now looks only in absolute PATH entries, on the
service PATH and the login shell's alike.
- A --version that started a child holding stdout outlived its timeout
(100 ms answered after 3 s), and such children could pin every
detection slot: the flag now runs in a process group of its own, which
is killed whole at the timeout, and its output is no longer read then.
- commandProblems() relied on reading shell syntax, so an appended
"&& touch ..." passed: every command must now be exactly one of a few
fixed forms (curl -fsSL <url> | bash, npm install -g <package>, ...),
matched against the whole text; only the URL or package varies, and it
is held to the entry's own addresses and packages as before.
- pi (macOS, Linux) and Hermes (Linux) may ask for sudo while installing
a missing prerequisite: they are marked admin, and a test keeps every
command whose notes say so marked.
Each change comes with a test that failed before it.

📝 Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added an agent catalog showing platform-specific installation options and detected installation status and version, including for remote PCs.
Added a guided setup flow to install agents, sign in, monitor progress, and open a terminal when setup is ready.
Added translations for the setup experience in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
The demo now displays a sample catalog; installation and sign-in actions are unavailable there.
Adds a shared catalog of installable agents, server-side discovery and install/sign-in routes, and a client setup flow. The catalog supports platform-specific commands and installation state. Remote PCs and a demo transport also expose catalog behavior.
Changes: Agent catalog and setup
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Catalog data and command validation shared/agent-catalog.ts, shared/agent-catalog.test.ts, docs/agent-catalog.md
Adds typed agent entries, platform-specific install metadata, command allowlists and validation, and clean-machine command test records.
Executable discovery and version detection server/agent-catalog-detect.ts, server/agent-catalog-detect.test.ts, docs/agent-catalog.md
Adds executable discovery through service and login-shell PATHs and installer directories. Version checks use bounded output, timeouts, caching, and concurrency limits.
Adds catalog retrieval and catalog-selected install and sign-in routes. Server wiring supports bridge authorization and machine proxying. The demo serves a fixture catalog and rejects install and sign-in requests.
Client setup state and interface src/lib/agentSetup*, src/lib/api.ts, src/components/AgentSetupCard*, src/lib/i18n*
Adds setup-state transitions, API clients, and a setup card that polls for installation state. Adds interface styling, tests, and setup translations in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
devswha/ovis#2326: Adds the catalog and GET endpoint consumed by this PR’s install, sign-in, and setup flow.
devswha/ovis#1896: Addresses agent discovery with restricted service PATHs; this PR also uses service and login-shell PATH discovery.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 6848e
The feature adds install and sign-in flows behind new routes, and nothing blocks merging it. The release notes would wrongly say nothing is installed yet, so update the changelog entry before the release.

From the merge pass's re-review of #2326:
- The fixed forms still let a URL or package vary: an approved address
with text after it, any npm version, or text after OpenCode's command
passed. APPROVED_COMMANDS now lists every catalog command per platform,
and commandProblems() accepts a command only when it is in that list
exactly; the address and package allowlists stay as a consistency
check. A test changes every catalog command (a suffix, an extra
argument, leading, trailing or doubled whitespace, an npm version) and
each change is refused.
- A version flag that answered and exited at once, leaving a child that
held its output, was read until the timeout: the output is now read for
200 ms after the process exits, then the child's process group is
ended. The timeout tests now also prove the child they started is gone,
for a flag that hangs and for one that exits at once.
APPROVED_COMMANDS stays hand-written so a catalog edit needs a deliberate
approval; this test fails when the catalog holds a command the list does
not approve, or the list keeps one the catalog no longer holds.
The version cache was keyed by path, size and mtime, so a binary renamed
over the old one with the same size and a copied mtime kept the old
version. The fingerprint now adds the device, the inode and the ctime,
read in nanoseconds. A test replaces a stub that way and reads the new
version.
…al tab
POST /api/agent-catalog/install opens a tab and types the agent's official
command for this PC's platform, picked by the server from the catalog (the
primary command or one of the platform's alternatives) and checked against
the vendor's own addresses and packages again before it is typed; the
request never carries a command. Every line shows and Ctrl+C stops it.
On Windows a command for another shell than the tab's is refused.
POST /api/agent-catalog/sign-in runs the installed agent's own sign-in
command, or the agent itself where it signs in inside, the same way.
Both are refused to a watching device and reach another PC through the PC
proxy. The demo answers that it installs nothing.
…agent
AgentSetupCard runs one agent's setup as two steps on one card: Install
starts the official command in a terminal tab (POST /api/agent-catalog/install),
then the catalog is read again every 3 s until the agent is there, which
decides installed rather than how the tab ended (Devin's installer exits 1
after installing). Sign in runs the agent's own sign-in in a tab, then
Start hands off. Show details shows the exact command, Open terminal shows
its tab, and Cancel leaves the tab as it is.
The steps are a pure reducer (src/lib/agentSetup.ts). The card has no
entry point yet: onboarding (PR 3) and Settings and the picker (PR 4)
place it. "Install" and "Sign in" move to the base dictionary, now that
two parts use them.
"Installed. New terminal tabs will find it." instead of a note about PATH,
which moves under Show details, and "Uses the official installer, on this
PC." instead of naming a terminal tab before anything runs.
From the merge pass's review of #2328:
- Install and sign-in take only their own fields (agent, and alternative
for an install); a request with any other field, such as a command or a
platform, gets 400 unknown_field before a tab opens, through the PC
proxy too.
- On Windows, nothing is typed into a new tab until herdr names its shell:
it waits up to 10 s for PowerShell or cmd.exe to come in front, and
answers 409 shell_unknown when neither does, for install and sign-in.
It no longer falls back to PowerShell. A tab that gets nothing typed
(shell_unknown, shell_mismatch) is closed instead of left behind.
- One install of an agent at a time on a PC: a second one gets 409
install_running until the first one's tab ends, or until the agent is
found where it was not before. An install that fails to start releases
it at once.
- The setup card's test asserts the step shown and its actions, not the
English text.

From the merge pass's final review of #2328:
- The one-install-per-agent lock now follows the installer, not the
catalog. It holds while a program other than the tab's shell runs
there: one herdr names in front, or on Windows, where herdr names only
the shell, one below the shell in the process table. It ends when the
tab is back at its shell after the installer was seen running (success
or failure alike), when the tab closes, when no installer was seen
within 2 minutes of the command being typed, or after 30 minutes.
Finding the agent installed no longer ends it: an installer may put its
binary in place before it is done.
- Any failure after the tab opened, a herdr timeout included, closes that
tab on both endpoints, and the next install may start.
- The 10 s wait for a Windows tab's shell is one deadline for all of
herdr's answers: a slow answer is not waited for past it.
…rsion
npm installs an agent on Windows as a .cmd shim, a batch file that only
cmd.exe runs, so detection could not read its version. runVersion now
runs a .cmd or .bat as `cmd.exe /d /s /c "<line>"`, the line quoted as
cmd reads it, with Bun's argument quoting off (windowsVerbatimArguments).
From CodeRabbit on #2332.
The overall-deadline test slept for real and checked elapsed time. The
install routes now read time through an injectable clock, and the test
moves a virtual one only when the code has started its next sleep, so it
asserts the exact virtual time the lookup ended at. The lookup also ends
at the deadline instead of pausing for 0 ms there.
checkUsageMeters moves an account, and the app saves the shared account
order to the server once the settings rest. When that save landed before
the check ended, checkUsageSignInAgain on the same server inherited the
order: its expired report then listed Antigravity first, and the notes
assertion failed. That is a race in the test, on main too (seeding the
server with that order fails main the same way), and it surfaced in PR
runs of #2328 and the 0.4.20 release PR. The check now clears the shared
account order before it opens a page.
…eterministic (#2345)
## Change
Test-only, `scripts/usage-regression.ts`:
- `checkUsageMeters` waits for its shared account order to reach the
server before its page closes. It watches for the `PUT /api/preferences`
response that carries `usageOrder` (set up before the Settings edits, 10
s bound) and asserts it is 200.
- `checkUsageSignInAgain` first clears the shared account order on its
server (`PUT /api/preferences` with `usageOrder: []`, checked for 200),
so it no longer depends on what an earlier check saved.
## Why
`scripts/ui-contexts-regression.ts` runs `checkUsageMeters` and then
`checkUsageSignInAgain` against one server. The first check moves an
account, and the app saves the shared `usageOrder` to the server once
the settings rest (600 ms debounce). Whether that save landed before the
check closed its page was a race. When it did, the second check's
expired report sorted `claude:u1` and `antigravity@keychain` first,
because they are the ranked keys, and the notes assertion at
`usage-regression.ts:229` failed:
```
+ 'Sign-in expired. Open Antigravity to renew it.',
'Sign-in expired.',
'Sign-in expired. Open Codex to renew it.',
- 'Sign-in expired. Open Antigravity to renew it.'
```
The release PR #2337 fails Browser regression (ui-regression) on it, and
so does #2328 (run 40835368558). The flaky check is on main itself, not
something either PR changed.
## Can the earlier save land after the reset?
No. `checkUsageMeters` waits for the response to the save that carries
`usageOrder`, so by the time its page closes, the server has stored that
order and answered. Nothing pending can carry it later: the sync sends a
setting only while it differs from what the server last confirmed, and
both contexts are closed before `checkUsageSignInAgain` starts. The
reset therefore always comes after the save, and nothing in
`checkUsageSignInAgain` writes the order. No fixed sleep: the wait is
for that exact response.
## Validation
- Deterministic now:
- With the wait and the reset removed, `bun scripts/usage-regression.ts`
failed 3 of 3 runs with exactly the CI diff.
- With both, it passed 3 of 3 runs.
- Before this change, a server seeded with the moved order failed
`origin/main` the same way.
- `bun scripts/ui-contexts-regression.ts` passes (both usage checks
PASS).
- `bun run check fast` is green, including `scripts/conventions.test.ts`
(no fixed sleeps).
- An omo code review of the reset approved it with no blockers.
Both callers of the check (`ui-contexts-checks.ts` and
`usage-regression.ts`'s own run) use servers without a token, so the
reset needs no credential.
Merging 1917df3 (onboarding 2 of 4; held for the 0.4.20 cut, ships in 0.4.21). Install and sign in to an agent in a visible herdr terminal tab: POST install/sign-in endpoints (also through the PC proxy), only for commands in the approved catalog list, typed into a tab the user sees. Strict review over three rounds (the third final under the round cap). Fixed on the way: unknown body fields are refused (400) before any tab opens, locally and through the proxy; on Windows there is no PowerShell guess: if herdr does not name pwsh/cmd within the overall 10 s deadline the request fails (409 shell_unknown) and the tab is closed; a process-info timeout (502) closes the tab; one install per agent per PC, with the lock held while the installer process runs in the tab (Windows: the process table under the shell) and released when it is gone after being seen, the tab closes, nothing is seen within 2 min of typing, or after a 30 min cap; finding the binary never releases it. Re-verified at {H[:8]}: second install 409 while the first runs, reinstall 200 after the installer exits with the tab open, two slow 9 s answers fail at 10.0 s with nothing typed, closing the tab while pending frees the lock, ownership is per agent and tab. 129 tests, typecheck clean; the lane ran a real Claude install in the Windows VM (200 + 409 with one tab; binary found at 52 s still 409, released at 58 s). Known limits (accepted): a Windows in-process download longer than 2 min with no child process releases the lock early; the lock lives in one server instance, so a server restart during an install allows a second install (no corruption seen); an installer too short to be observed keeps the lock until the 2 min window ends. After the final round the lane merged main in (conflicts only in #2326's own files, identical on main), drove the deadline test with a virtual clock (no real delays), and ran a Windows .cmd/.bat agent shim's version flag through cmd.exe /d /s /c with the existing cmd quoting (Windows VM: npm's codex.cmd detected as 0.165.0); the merge pass read that delta.
Onboarding PR 3 of 4: the first-run setup guide.
**It needed #2326 and #2328 first; both are merged**, and `main` is
merged in. The diff against `main` is this PR's own change: client code,
DESIGN.md and a changelog fragment. Nothing in `server/` or `shared/`
changes, and no route or contract is added. Settings → Phone's "Pair
this device now" now goes through the shared `src/lib/pairing.ts` (same
steps, same messages). PR 4 (#2330, Settings → Setup guide) adds the
same `src/lib/setupGuide.ts` byte for byte, so the two merge cleanly.
## What it does
On a fresh install Ovis asks **"Is this your first time using Ovis?"**
- **I've used Ovis before** goes straight to the app, and the guide
never opens by itself again.
- **I'm new** opens one screen. There is no progress bar and there are
no steps; **Skip setup** is always there.
- First Ovis **checks this PC** (`GET /api/agent-catalog`). Every coding
agent shows a spinner until its answer comes back. A check that answers
in under 300 ms stays on screen until 300 ms; a slower one adds no wait.
- Then **every coding agent appears as a compact two-column tile, the
same screen whatever the PC has.** The order is Claude Code, Codex, the
others installed, then the rest.
- An installed agent is picked with a tap (version and check). Claude
Code is preselected, else Codex, else the first.
- **Start with <agent>** opens the first workspace with it, in the
folder this browser used last or else the server's home. If that folder
is gone (`invalid_cwd`), it opens the home instead.
- A missing agent is dim, with a small **Install** (a download icon on
phones). **Nothing is installed without the user's tap: tapping Install
is the consent.** That one tap runs the agent's official installer in a
terminal tab, and a spinner turns on the tile until the catalog lists
the agent. Tapping the spinner shows the tab. The tile then becomes an
installed one and is picked.
- Several installs can run at once, and Start does not wait for them. An
install that never shows up stops after ten minutes and offers Try
again.
- **The guide has no sign-in step.** The agent asks for its own sign-in
when it first starts. An in-browser sign-in UI is planned as the next PR
(the owner's call; it needs a server contract).
- Plan usage turns on by itself for accounts already signed in (`GET
/api/usage`).
- **Connect your phone**, beside Start, shows a QR code that opens the
app on the phone with a fresh pairing code filled in, plus the address
and the code (the existing `POST /api/devices/pair/start`). "Paired: …"
confirms a phone that used the code.
- The code is requested only on the user's action (opening the box, or
New code) and is never renewed in the background.
- **On a fresh install this browser is in only because nothing is paired
yet** (open access), and a paired phone turns the app's sign-in on. So
the tap first pairs this browser, exactly as Settings → Phone's "Pair
this device now" does, then shows the QR. A line says "This browser is
paired first: other browsers now need pairing too." That tap is the
user's consent (the owner's decision).
- The self-pairing is one shared operation (`src/lib/pairing.ts`), used
by both the guide and Settings → Phone. One runs at a time in a page,
because two at once could leave a void cookie in place of the good one.
None runs for a browser the server already lists as paired. After it,
the app reads its access again.
- Settings → Phone takes over only when the page has no phone-reachable
address (loopback), or the server does not say how this browser got in.
- A failed check shows "Couldn't check this PC" with the error and Look
again.
"Fresh install" means all of the following:
- herdr has no workspace on this PC;
- this browser saved no settings;
- the server holds no shared settings (revision 0);
- no device is paired;
- this device is not a watching one. A watching device never sees the
guide.
A failed read of any of these decides nothing. When the guide is closed
in one tab, it closes in the others too.
A Start that finishes after the user moved to another pane, or closed
the guide, does not take them there. A pane picked with the keys or the
palette now sets the guide aside, as a pick from the sidebar already
did.
Known limits, not changed here: two tabs of the same browser pairing
themselves at the same instant can still race (`main` has the same gap
between two Settings tabs). The server keeps a single pending pairing
code. Two views asking for one (the guide's box and Settings → Phone, or
two Settings tabs on `main` today) can replace each other's code.
The design follows the Claude and Codex apps' first runs: one screen in
the main area, with the sidebar left in place. DESIGN.md has a "Setup
guide" entry, and the ko/ja/zh strings are in `src/lib/i18n/guide.*.ts`.
`AgentSetupCard`'s logic moved unchanged into
`src/lib/useAgentSetup.ts`; the card uses it, and so do the guide's
tiles.
## Verification
- **Tests that failed first, against missing exports or the old
behaviour, and pass now:**
- `setupGuideFlow.test.ts`: the fresh-install predicate, the welcome →
setup state, saved records, the check's lines and settle time,
`agentRows`, `installedHere`, `preferredAgent`, `signedInAgents`,
`tileState` (including install, stuck, retry and a stale request),
`openInFolder` and `readSignedIn`.
- `pairing.test.ts` (single flight; no new pairing for a listed
browser), `phoneBoxMode` in `setupGuideFlow.test.ts`, and
`useAgentSetup.hook.test.ts` (no tile callback after unmount).
- `useSetupGuide.hook.test.ts`: cross-tab closes, `finish` keeping the
user's pane (in the same update too), and terminal-tab tickets voided by
Start, a close or a reopen.
- `useSelectPane.hook.test.ts` and `useSignedInUsage.hook.test.ts`.
- `bun run check fast` is green on the head.
- **Browser walks** ran on isolated servers (fresh `OVIS_STATE_DIR`,
their own herdr sessions, loopback). Two isolated servers. **This PC's
14 agents:** the welcome shows by itself, then the check, then "You're
set up" with Claude Code picked; Connect your phone opens Settings on
loopback; picking Codex changes Start; Start opens the first workspace;
plan usage is on; the guide is recorded closed and stays closed on

before the tap; one tap on Claude Code's Install turns the spinner;
**the real official installer** finishes in 27 s, and the tile becomes
"Claude Code 2.1.312", picked; "You're set up"; Start opens the
workspace. **A forced 500:** "Couldn't check this PC". Screenshots: both
screens at 1280/390, dark and light.
- **Reviews** (owner-requested reworks V4 → V6), from
omo-native-code-reviewer and Codex (Sol 6.1, then Terra 6.1 from round 3
on, per the owner):
- Every HIGH and MEDIUM raised over the rounds is fixed. They covered
install races, focus, per-tile errors, stale replies, pairing-code
lifecycles and Start vs pane picks.
- The review bench's #9 (a late Start overriding a newer pane pick) is
fixed and tested.
- omo approves, and Terra's last round has no HIGH or MEDIUM within
scope.

PR 2 of 4 for installing agents from Ovis, stacked on #2326 (review against
feat/agent-install-catalog;merge #2326 first). It adds the install, re-detect and sign-in flow, with no entry point yet:
onboarding comes in PR 3, and Settings plus the New workspace / New tab picker in PR 4.
POST /api/agent-catalog/install{ agent, alternative? }opens a terminal tab labelled"Install " in the first workspace (or a new one) at the home folder. It types the agent's
official command for this PC's platform, chosen by the server from the catalog: the primary command,
or
alternatives[alternative]. The request never carries a command; acommandfield in the bodyis ignored. The command is checked against the catalog's fixed forms and vendor allowlist again
right before it is typed. Every line shows in the tab, and Ctrl+C stops it; nothing runs in the
background. On Windows, a command written for another shell than the tab's is refused
(
409 shell_mismatch).POST /api/agent-catalog/sign-in{ agent }opens a tab running the installed agent's ownsign-in command, or the agent itself where it signs in inside. It answers
409 not_installedbeforethe agent is there.

/api/machines/<id>/agent-catalog/(install|sign-in)withthat PC's bridge token. The demo answers 409.
