Summary

Combines two complementary fixes for port-related blank-webview failures into a single robust port-handling PR. Closes #414.

Changes

packages/extension/src/server_manager.ts

  • portIsAvailable(port): probes a port with net.createServer before spawning. Returns false on EADDRINUSE or any bind error.
  • Fallback in start(): when a fixed port is configured (default 43117), verify it's free first. If occupied, pick a free ephemeral port via pickFreePort(), log to the output channel, and show a VS Code warning so the user knows which port was chosen.

Previously the extension blindly passed --port 43117 to opencode serve with no fallback. On shared Remote-SSH hosts (or when another Amicode window holds the port), the bind fails and the webview shows a blank window with no useful feedback.

packages/extension/src/chat_panel.ts (from #414)

  • origin instance field: records the URL origin the panel was built with. Used to detect port changes on restart.
  • notifyServerUrlChanged(url): compares the new URL's origin to the current panel's recorded origin. Same origin → posts server-url-changed (Lane 2) as a "restart happened" signal. Different origin → returns true, signaling the caller to dispose and recreate.
  • disposeCurrent(): disposes the underlying vscode.WebviewPanel so openOrReveal creates a fresh panel with the new iframe src.
  • Lane 2 allowlist: "server-url-changed" added to the relay script's message filter.

packages/extension/src/deck/shell.ts (from #414)

  • Lane 1 broadcast: "server-url-changed" messages are broadcast to all pane frames, consistent with how theme messages are fanned out.

packages/extension/src/extension.ts (from #414)

  • opencodeExternalUrl: resolved via vscode.env.asExternalUri to account for devcontainer port forwarding (container:43117 may forward to host:43118).
  • serverManager.onReady handler: after every successful server start (including restarts), calls notifyServerUrlChanged. If recreation is needed, disposes the panel before openOrReveal creates a fresh one with the correct origin.

.devcontainer/devcontainer.json (from #414)

  • Adds "amicode.opencodePort": 43117 to customizations.vscode.settings, ensuring the port is pinned in devcontainer workflows.

docs/adr/0008-server-url-push-on-restart.md (from #414)

  • Documents the design: why onReady (not just the restart handler), the same-port vs different-port distinction, and the future self-healing upgrade path.

docs/devcontainers.md (from #414)

  • New documentation covering how port and storage settings enter the container across three use cases (marketplace install, Dockerfile build, CI/headless).

How they work together

Scenario Behavior
Cold boot, port 43117 free Uses 43117, opens panel with asExternalUri-resolved URL
Cold boot, port 43117 occupied Falls back to ephemeral port, warns user, opens panel with correct forwarded URL
Same-port restart notifyServerUrlChanged returns false, posts server-url-changed, SSE loop reconnects
Different-port restart notifyServerUrlChanged returns true, disposes panel, recreates with new origin

Testing

  • Build passes: pnpm --filter amicode run build — clean, no type errors.
  • VSIX packaged: packages/extension/amicode-0.3.0.vsix (162M, 333 files).

…lties and URL mismatches based on where the extension components run/whether the extension runs as a ui or a workspace extension (or both)
Combines two complementary fixes for port-related blank-webview failures:

1. **Port fallback (server_manager.ts)**: When a fixed port is configured
   (default 43117), probe it with net.createServer before spawning. If
   occupied (EADDRINUSE on shared Remote-SSH hosts), fall back to a free
   ephemeral port with a warning notification. Previously the extension
   blindly passed --port 43117 with no fallback; bind failure led to a
   silent blank webview.

2. **Server URL push on restart (PR #414, Gennadi Ryan)**: When the server
   restarts, notify the webview immediately. If the port changed (ephemeral
   mode), dispose and recreate the panel so location.origin is correct.
   Uses vscode.env.asExternalUri to resolve host-accessible URLs for
   devcontainer port forwarding (container:43117 → host:43118).

Together: the extension gracefully handles port collisions at spawn time,
and the webview stays connected across restarts regardless of port changes.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension validates configured server ports, resolves host-accessible URLs for webviews, and handles server restarts through URL-change messages or panel recreation. Devcontainer configuration, restart decisions, and storage settings are documented.

Changes

Server URL resilience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Port configuration and availability
.devcontainer/devcontainer.json, packages/extension/src/server_manager.ts, docs/devcontainers.md
Configured ports are checked before server startup. Unavailable ports use ephemeral fallback. Devcontainer port precedence, storage settings, and runtime caveats are documented.
External URL resolution and command wiring
packages/extension/src/extension.ts
The extension uses asExternalUri for webview surfaces and retains the internal URL for SSE and probes. Chat, deck, onboarding, and cloud-key flows require the resolved URLs.
Restart notification and panel recreation
packages/extension/src/chat_panel.ts, packages/extension/src/deck/shell.ts, docs/adr/0008-server-url-push-on-restart.md
Chat panels compare server origins and either relay server-url-changed or dispose stale panels. Chat and deck webviews relay the message. The restart behavior is recorded in an accepted ADR.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to dedad

This PR improves recovery from occupied ports but introduces high-impact merge risk: a competing local process could impersonate the selected server during startup and receive its credential, while some restart paths may leave webviews on a stale or invalid port. These issues should be fixed before merging.

Use the same readiness gate for amicode.setCloudKey.

This command checks only opencodeExternalUrl. amicode.restartServer clears opencodeReadyUrl but leaves the previous external URL in place. During a restart, the command can reveal or create a panel for a stopped or old-port server. Require both URLs and clear both values when stopping the server.

ephemeral-port restart.
- Around line 838-855: Extract the existing server-ready logic from
serverManager.onReady into a shared URL handler, then register that handler on
every ServerManager instance before start(), including solver-mode,
vault-respawn, and standalone flows. Ensure each path updates opencodeReadyUrl
and opencodeExternalUrl, connects SSE with the internal URL, and invokes
ChatPanel.notifyServerUrlChanged so stale panels are disposed when ports change.
- Around line 98-100: Remove the cached opencodeExternalUrl reuse and resolve
the external URI through vscode.env.asExternalUri each time openChat, newChat,
chatDeck, or amicode.setCloudKey opens a webview; alternatively, invalidate the
cache whenever forwarding changes so every surface receives a current URL.

In `@packages/extension/src/server_manager.ts`:
- Around line 65-79: Update the startup flow around portIsAvailable,
pickFreePort, cp.spawn, and waitForHealth so the selected port remains reserved
until the spawned child successfully owns the listener, or readiness verifies
ownership before accepting it. Prevent OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD from being sent
to any process that loses the bind, and add a bounded race test covering failed
bind, readiness, and password delivery.

If the server starts on a different port after a container rebuild, the persisted
connection state in localStorage is stale. The webview's SSE event stream connects
to the dead port, and the user sees no responses until localStorage is cleared.

**The fix:** pin the server port to a stable value (default: `43117`) so that the
persisted URL remains valid across container rebuilds.

Document the occupied-port fallback.

ServerManager.start() uses 43117 only when the port is available. When it is occupied, the code selects an ephemeral port. These lines state that pinning keeps the persisted URL valid and that the extension always passes 43117. State that pinning is best effort and describe the restart URL propagation and panel recreation path.

3. **Port forwarding.** If VS Code auto-forwards port 43117 (which it does by
default for detected listening ports), the server is accessible from the host at
`localhost:43117`. This is expected behavior and does not interfere with the
webview (which connects to the container-internal `127.0.0.1:43117`).

Document and use the external webview URL.

ChatPanel uses its URL argument as the iframe source. In forwarded devcontainers, use the vscode.env.asExternalUri(...) result for every webview, and keep opencodeReadyUrl for SSE and extension-host requests. The fleet-ready path (extension.ts:609) and bug-dock path (extension.ts:533) still pass the internal URL and can load the wrong origin. Update this caveat and those paths.

Recreate all stale chat tabs, not only the primary.

When current.origin !== url.origin, notifyServerUrlChanged returns before iterating ChatPanel.live. ChatPanel.openNew creates live panels without setting ChatPanel.current, and the caller disposes only the primary panel. Those side-by-side tabs remain bound to the dead origin after a port change. Handle every stale live panel, not only ChatPanel.current.

Forward restart messages from transition panels.

renderHtml allows server-url-changed at Line 420, but renderTransitionHtml has a separate Lane 2 allowlist at Line 567 that omits it. An adopted onboarding panel remains on the transition relay after it becomes chat, so same-origin restart notifications never reach its iframe. Add the message kind to both allowlists.

VS Code vscode.env.asExternalUri external URI become invalid port forwarding tunnel closed documentation

💡 Result:

The vscode.env.asExternalUri API is designed to resolve a URI (typically a localhost URI) to a format accessible from the client environment, which may include automatically establishing a port forwarding tunnel when the extension is running remotely [1][2][3]. Extensions should not cache the results of vscode.env.asExternalUri because the resolved URI may become invalid at any time due to system or user actions [1]. A primary example of this is when a user manually closes a port forwarding tunnel that was established or managed by the API [1]. Key technical considerations regarding this behavior include: - Tunnel Management: The lifetime of these tunnels is managed by the VS Code editor [1]. While they are automatically created for localhost http/https URIs in remote scenarios, the user retains control over the ports and may close them through the Ports view [1][4]. - No Persistence: Because the tunnel state is volatile, extensions must treat the returned URI as a temporary reference [1]. If an extension attempts to use a cached URI after the underlying tunnel has been closed by the user or the system, the request will fail [1]. - Error Handling: Since tunnels can be closed or re-opened with different properties (e.g., due to network changes or user intervention), extensions relying on persistent connections to remote services should be prepared to handle connection failures and potentially re-resolve the URI using vscode.env.asExternalUri [1][5]. - Alternative for Webviews: For cases involving webviews where you need consistent access to remote ports without the volatility of asExternalUri, consider using the webview portMapping option, which provides a more stable way to map ports during the webview's lifetime [6]. In summary, treat the URI returned by vscode.env.asExternalUri as ephemeral and do not persist it across sessions or extended periods where the user might alter the tunnel state [1].

Do not cache vscode.env.asExternalUri results. openChat, newChat, chatDeck, and amicode.setCloudKey reuse opencodeExternalUrl after its forwarding tunnel can close, so their webviews may receive an invalid URL while the server remains ready. Resolve the URI when opening each surface or invalidate it when forwarding changes.

Route every server start through the URL handler.

The new resolver is registered only on the initial serverManager. The solver-mode callback at Line 788-790 and vault respawn callback at Line 959-963 still update only opencodeReadyUrl. The standalone callback at Line 1383-1391 resolves an external URL but skips notifyServerUrlChanged. With ephemeral ports, these paths leave the iframe on the old origin. Extract the handler and register it on every ServerManager before start().

Also applies to: 1383-1391

Notify the deck on server restarts.

This path calls only ChatPanel.notifyServerUrlChanged and ChatPanel.disposeCurrent. It never sends a server-url-changed envelope to DeckPanel. The new relay in packages/extension/src/deck/shell.ts therefore has no producer on this restart path. An existing deck keeps its old iframe after an ephemeral-port restart. Add a deck notification or recreation step here.

Do not treat the port probe as a reservation.

portIsAvailable() and pickFreePort() release their sockets before cp.spawn() binds the selected port. A local process can win this gap. waitForHealth() can then accept that process as ready, and OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD is sent to it in Authorization.

Reserve the port during startup or prove that the spawned child owns the listener. Add a bounded race test that confirms a child that loses the bind cannot fire readiness or receive the server password.
