A daemon inside the- Adom-Workspace machine watches for new TCP listeners (OAuth callbacks from VS- Code extensions like Codex, Copilot, GitLens) and notifies HD to create- host-side TCP proxies. Covers the cases macOS/Lima port exposure can't:- `127.0.0.1`-only listeners and exposure gaps. Makes localhost:{port}- on the Mac reach the machine. Extensions just work — no manual setup.- Trigger words: port forward, dynamic port, OAuth callback, Codex auth,- extension auth, port mapping, localhost port, port watcher, port proxy.--# HD Port Watcher — Dynamic Port Forwarding--> This is the machine-runtime version (default). For the legacy Docker container-> runtime (`HD_RUNTIME=docker`) see the docker/ bucket.--## Why the daemon is still here on the machine--When a service inside the Adom-Workspace machine binds `0.0.0.0:<port>`, Lima's-vz networking makes it reachable from the Mac at `localhost:<sameport>` — so you-might think a port watcher is unnecessary. It isn't. The daemon is **RETAINED**-because that `0.0.0.0` exposure has two gaps the watcher closes:--1. **`127.0.0.1`-only listeners.** vz does NOT mirror loopback, so a- loopback-only listener inside the machine is never exposed on the Mac. VS Code- extensions (Codex, Copilot, GitLens) start OAuth callback servers that- frequently bind `127.0.0.1` — the browser redirects to- `localhost:{port}/auth/callback?code=...` but the Mac never had that port,- so it doesn't exist.-2. **Exposure lag / wedge.** macOS/Lima port exposure can lag or break- even for `0.0.0.0` listeners (a real HD-logged failure mode:- "code-server alive in the machine but the Mac can't reach 127.0.0.1:7380"). The- watcher gives HD a reliable host-side proxy that doesn't depend on Lima's- automatic exposure.--## The Solution--A lightweight daemon inside the machine monitors `/proc/net/tcp` for new-listening ports. When one appears (that wasn't there at boot and isn't a known-service), it notifies HD's control API. HD creates a host-side TCP proxy on-that same port, forwarding through code-server's `/proxy/{port}` to reach the-machine. The browser redirect just works — even for loopback-only callback-servers Lima wouldn't have exposed.--## Architecture--```-Adom-Workspace machine: macOS Host:-┌─────────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────┐-│ Codex creates server │ │ HD Control API │-│ on 127.0.0.1:1455 │ │ (:47084) │-│ (loopback, no expose)│ │ │-│ port-watcher.sh │──POST──→ │ /port-forward │-│ detects port 1455 │ open │ creates TCP proxy │-│ │ │ on localhost:1455 │-│ code-server │ │ │-│ /proxy/1455/ ←───────┼───────── │ proxy forwards here │-└─────────────────────┘ └──────────────────────┘- ↑- Browser redirects to- localhost:1455/callback-```--## What Gets Forwarded (and what doesn't)--**FORWARDED (temporary, appeared after boot):**-- OAuth callback ports from extensions (Codex, Copilot, etc.) — especially- `127.0.0.1`-only ones Lima cannot expose-- Any new TCP listener that wasn't running when the machine started-- Auto-expires after 5 minutes (OAuth callbacks are fast)--**NOT FORWARDED (known services, stay behind /proxy/{port} or 0.0.0.0 exposure):**-- code-server (8080 inside the machine; exposed as 7380 mapping/`0.0.0.0`)-- relay WS/HTTP (8765, 8766)-- adom-vscode (8821)-- shotlog (8820)-- Any port in the KNOWN_PORTS list-- Any port that was listening at machine boot time-- Any port ≤ 1023--This keeps the local workspace machine behaving like cloud Hydrogen — known-services use `/proxy/{port}` (or macOS/Lima exposure for `0.0.0.0` binds), and-only short-lived / loopback-only OAuth ports get a dedicated host proxy.--## API Endpoints--### POST /port-forward-Create or remove a host-side TCP proxy. Called by the machine's watcher.--```json-{"port": 1455, "action": "open"} // Create proxy-{"port": 1455, "action": "close"} // Remove proxy-```--### GET /port-forward-List currently forwarded ports.--```json-{"ok": true, "forwarded_ports": [1455], "count": 1}-```--## The Watcher Daemon--`scripts/port-watcher.sh` runs inside the machine:--1. Polls `/proc/net/tcp` every 2 seconds-2. Diffs against previous scan-3. New port (not in KNOWN_PORTS whitelist) → POST `/port-forward` open-4. Port gone → POST `/port-forward` close-5. Port open > 5 minutes → auto-expire (likely a service, not OAuth)--No boot snapshot — the whitelist is the sole source of truth. Services-like shotlog can start at any time (days/weeks later) and will never-get a host proxy as long as their port is in the whitelist.--The watcher reaches HD at the `adom-host` gateway plus the control port-(`<adom-host>:<control>/port-forward`). vz does NOT mirror loopback, so the-machine cannot reach HD at its own `127.0.0.1`; instead the machine's-`/etc/hosts` maps `adom-host` to the gateway, and that's where HD's host-listener lives. The control port is dynamic per launch; the live control URL-(already pointing at the gateway host) is in `~/.adom/hd-control-url`.--## Installation--The watcher is a bash script (`port-watcher.sh`) deployed into the machine-during setup steps. Installation uses `limactl shell hd-builder` + `nsenter`-into the machine, NOT `docker cp`/`docker exec`:--```bash-# Stage the script into the Lima VM, then install it into the machine via nsenter.-# (No \\wsl$ share / wsl cat exists on macOS — copy into the VM, then nsenter.)-limactl copy port-watcher.sh hd-builder:/tmp/port-watcher.sh-limactl shell hd-builder -- sudo nsenter -t <leader> -a -- bash -lc \- 'cp /tmp/port-watcher.sh /usr/local/bin/port-watcher.sh && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/port-watcher.sh'-# Launch detached inside the machine (as the adom user)-limactl shell hd-builder -- sudo nsenter -t <leader> -a -S 1001 -G 1001 -- bash -lc \- 'nohup bash /usr/local/bin/port-watcher.sh >/tmp/port-watcher.log 2>&1 &'-```--The script parses `/proc/net/tcp` directly in `awk` — it filters listener rows-(state `0A`), splits the hex `local_address`, and converts the port with-`strtonum("0x" …)`. No Python is involved.--## UI: Toast + Port Mappings Dialog--**Toast notification:** When a port is forwarded, HD shows an info toast:-"Port 1455 forwarded to workspace". When removed: "Port 1455 forwarding stopped".-Powered by the `port-forward-changed` Tauri event.--**Port Mappings dialog:** Accessible from the Adom menu → Admin → "Port Mappings".-Shows exposed `0.0.0.0` ports AND dynamic watcher-created proxies. Dynamic-ports have a "Stop" button. Matches the API Explorer visual style.--## Adding New Known Services--When a new service is added to the machine that runs a persistent TCP server,-add its port to the `KNOWN_PORTS` whitelist string in `port-watcher.sh`-(`scripts/port-watcher.sh:16`):--```bash-KNOWN_PORTS="8080 8765 8766 8821 8820 36035 47084 47083 47085 1420 7380 8770 9000"-```--This prevents it from getting a dedicated host proxy. Services should bind-`0.0.0.0` (exposed by Lima) or use `/proxy/{port}` instead, consistent with web-Hydrogen.--## The forwarding layers--There are distinct forwarding mechanisms. The `/proc/net/tcp` watcher above-is **Layer 2** — and on macOS it is the **primary** path. Layer 1 (the-navigation-interception localhost proxy) is **Windows-only** and does NOT run on-macOS — see the note below.--### Layer 1 — the navigation-interception proxy (Windows-only; NOT active on macOS)--On Windows, HD intercepts top-level WebView2 navigations via-`setup_frame_navigation_interception()` (`hd-app/src/lib.rs`, `#[cfg(windows)]`).-On every navigation it runs `extract_oauth_callback_port()`, which-**triple-URL-decodes** the target URL (`urlencoding::decode` x3) and scans each-decode layer — plus the raw and the percent-encoded-`redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A…` form — for-`redirect_uri=http://localhost:<port>`. When it finds one it calls-`start_oauth_callback_proxy(port)`, which **pre-binds** `127.0.0.1:<port>` on the-host and waits up to ~5 min for one inbound request, then forwards the full path-into the machine via code-server (`http://localhost:<code_server_port>/proxy/<port>/<path>`)-and streams the response back to the browser.--**This interceptor does NOT exist on macOS.** It depends on WebView2's-`ICoreWebView2` navigation events; HD's macOS webview is **WKWebView**, which-exposes no equivalent navigation-interception (the same CDP gap that makes-`/eval` fire-and-forget on macOS). So on macOS the *automatic* zero-latency-pre-bind doesn't happen — the **port watcher (Layer 2) is the primary path**,-with the manual `POST /start-oauth-proxy` endpoint (Layer 3) as the explicit-fallback. The `/start-oauth-proxy` + `/oauth/callback` endpoints themselves are-cross-platform and work the same on macOS.--**Control / callback endpoints** (HD control API):-- `POST /start-oauth-proxy` — manually pre-bind a callback port (on macOS this is- the explicit way to get the Layer-1 effect, since the navigation interceptor- doesn't run).-- `GET /oauth/callback` — HD's own built-in callback receiver (used by the- Claude Code PKCE flow); do not call directly.--**Failure mode the AI may see:** if a proxy binds but code-server can't be-reached, HD returns a styled **502 Bad Gateway** page (dark `#0d1117`-background, teal `#00b8b0` "OAuth callback proxy" heading) reading roughly *"HD-tried to forward this OAuth callback to the workspace via code-server proxy-(port …/proxy/…), but it failed. The extension that started this OAuth flow may-need its callback port (…) mapped to the host."* Seeing that page in a browser-means the proxy bound but the machine-side proxy hop failed — check the HD log-for `[oauth-proxy]` lines and that code-server is alive.--### Layer 2 — the port watcher (`/proc/net/tcp` daemon — the primary path on macOS)--The bash daemon documented above. On macOS it is the workhorse (Layer 1's-navigation interceptor is Windows-only): it surfaces new callback ports —-including `127.0.0.1`-only callback servers Lima silently won't expose — and asks-HD to proxy them. Note: when an app has already registered its port via the-adom-port-hints protocol, the watcher skips it (it only owns the fallback for-third-party extensions that don't know HD exists).--### Layer 3 — manual--`POST /start-oauth-proxy` or `POST /port-forward` (or-`adom-cli port-forward register`) for cases the watcher misses (on macOS, where-the Windows-only navigation interceptor doesn't run, this is the explicit-pre-bind path).--## Port Conflicts--If the host port is already taken by another Mac app, the forwarding-fails silently. The OAuth callback will break. Mitigation: extensions-typically pick a different random port on retry. HD logs the conflict.--## How OAuth Callbacks Work End-to-End--1. Extension (Codex) starts HTTP server on `127.0.0.1:1455` inside the machine-2. port-watcher.sh detects port 1455 (not in boot snapshot, not known) —- note Lima would NOT have exposed this loopback-only listener-3. Watcher POSTs `{"port":1455,"action":"open"}` to HD-4. HD creates TCP proxy: `localhost:1455` → code-server `/proxy/1455/`-5. Extension opens browser with `redirect_uri=http://localhost:1455/callback`-6. User authenticates, browser redirects to `localhost:1455/callback?code=...`-7. HD's proxy receives the request, forwards into the machine via code-server-8. Extension receives callback, completes auth-9. Extension closes its server, port 1455 disappears-10. Watcher POSTs `{"port":1455,"action":"close"}`, HD removes proxy--## Debugging--All debugging runs inside the machine via `limactl shell hd-builder -- sudo-nsenter -t <leader> -a -S 1001 -G 1001 -- ...`, NEVER `docker exec`:--```bash-# Check what ports the watcher sees-limactl shell hd-builder -- sudo nsenter -t <leader> -a -S 1001 -G 1001 -- bash -lc "cat /proc/net/tcp | awk '\$4 == \"0A\" { split(\$2, a, \":\"); printf \"%d\\n\", strtonum(\"0x\" a[2]) }' | sort -n"--# Check the watcher's own log-limactl shell hd-builder -- sudo nsenter -t <leader> -a -S 1001 -G 1001 -- cat /tmp/port-watcher.log--# Check what HD has forwarded (from the Mac host)-curl -sf http://127.0.0.1:47084/port-forward--# Manually forward a port (for testing, from the Mac host)-curl -sf -X POST http://127.0.0.1:47084/port-forward \- -H Content-Type:application/json \- -d '{"port":1455,"action":"open"}'--# Check HD log for port-fwd events-# Look for [port-fwd] entries-```--## Related skills--- `hd-networking` — `0.0.0.0` exposure, reaching the host at the `adom-host`- gateway (vz does NOT mirror loopback), NEVER do these-- `hd-ports` — bind `0.0.0.0` first; fall back to the port-forward registry for- `127.0.0.1`-only services or unreliable exposure
