nntrivi2001 fa156d6a59 feat: v2.6.0 — Chat UI composer (+ menu, project files, activity panel, permission mode, Stop), git on a workspace's extra folders (#70), long paste as a file (#68), S3 server mode (experimental)
Chat UI:
- Each Claude/Codex session keeps its own chat/terminal view; Settings only
  sets how new sessions open.
- Composer + menu: upload, project files and folders (#54, also dragged from
  the Files/Changes tree), context files, recent uploads, skills, plugins.
- Activity side panel (progress, outputs, files read, uploads, memory,
  skills, connectors) with a file preview; edited-file counts per turn.
- Permission-mode chip (Shift+Tab steps, read back from the pane:
  server/lib/pane-mode.js, GET|POST /api/run/:id/permission-mode).
- Stop (Esc) while the main agent works; the status is checked per agent
  (with session_id /api/agents ignores its status filter) and re-read every
  5 s while Stop shows.
- Dropped images shown in the conversation (GET /api/run/drop/:name, the
  requester's own drop dir), full-size viewer.
- A plain-text paste over 5,000 characters is attached as pasted-text.txt,
  so no prompt reaches tmux/argv limits (#68).

Changes panel: every /api/lanes/:id/git* route takes ?source=<lane_sources
id> (sourceFolder; ENOSOURCE otherwise) and a folder picker switches the
whole panel to a workspace's extra folder (#70).

Server mode S3 (one Linux user per account) — experimental, verified with
fake sudo plus a P6 managed-settings spike on a test account:
- member tmux listing runs in the background (cached, 15 s => unknown);
- transcript snapshot copy is async, chunked, temp file + rename;
- Express Layer patch only on Express 4;
- tmux capturePane/sendKey go to the member's own server.

Docs: the multi-user design moved in as docs/plans/server-mode/README.md
(the AgentHub-Server repo is gone); S3-PLAN P6 result; LANES/API/openapi.

# Server mode
AgentHub has one codebase and two ways to run it:
| | Local mode (default) | Server mode |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who uses it | You, on your own machine | Several people over the web |
| Login | None (the loopback bind is the trust boundary) | Every page, API call and WebSocket needs one |
| Turn on | Nothing to do: every install starts here | `agenthub server setup` |
| Extra code loaded | None: `/api/auth/me` answers `{mode: "local"}` and nothing else changes | `server/lib/auth.js`, the login page |
Local mode does not change at all. The login code stays dormant until
`AGENTHUB_MODE=server` is set.
> **What server mode separates, and what it does not.** In the dashboard and
> its API, each developer sees only their own workspaces and the sessions,
> prompts, events, tokens and cost under them (see [What each user sees](#what-each-user-sees)).
> Until [one Linux user per account](#one-linux-user-per-account) is installed
> (`agenthub server install-system`), every terminal pane runs as the one Linux
> account that runs the dashboard. An agent in a pane can then read every
> user's folders, transcripts and the database straight from disk. Without it,
> use server mode only with people you trust.
## Set it up
On the machine that will host the dashboard, logged in as the account that
runs it:
```bash
# 1. Turn server mode on, allow the public name, and create the first admin
agenthub server setup --hostname agenthub.example.com --admin boss
# (asks for the admin's password twice; from a script: pipe it on stdin)
# 2. Restart the dashboard so it picks the mode up
systemctl --user restart agenthub # or: agenthub start
# 3. Add the other people
agenthub users add alice # developer
agenthub users add carol --role analyst # reads everyone, works in their own
```
`setup` writes `AGENTHUB_MODE=server` and `DASHBOARD_ALLOWED_HOSTS` into
AgentHub's settings file (`~/.config/agenthub/settings.env`). The real
environment and a checkout's `.env` still take priority over that file. Run
setup again whenever you need to: it creates an admin only when none exists.
## Put HTTPS in front of it
Keep the dashboard on its default loopback bind (do **not** set
`DASHBOARD_HOST`) and serve it through a reverse proxy on the same machine.
The proxy has to:
- pass the original `Host` (the dashboard checks it against
`DASHBOARD_ALLOWED_HOSTS` and compares it with the browser's `Origin`);
- forward WebSocket upgrades (`/ws` for live updates, `/ws-pty/*` for terminals);
- set `X-Forwarded-For` and `X-Forwarded-Proto`.
nginx:
```nginx
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name agenthub.example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/agenthub.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/agenthub.key;
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4820;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_read_timeout 1d;
}
}
```
The login cookie gets `Secure` when the request came over HTTPS
(`X-Forwarded-Proto: https`).
## Roles
| Role | Can |
| --- | --- |
| `admin` | Everything, including the host's own configuration and every user's data |
| `analyst` | Reads everything (usage, prompts, every user's sessions), and works in their OWN workspaces like a developer. Never changes another user's rows or the host's configuration |
| `developer` | Their own workspaces: start sessions, terminals, git, files. Sees nothing of other users, and cannot open or change the host's configuration |
`developer` was called `member` before; a database with members is migrated on
start (`server/db.js`), and `member` is no longer accepted.
"The host's configuration" means a write (anything but GET/HEAD) under
`/api/settings`, `/updates`, `/cc-config`, `/codex-config`,
`/git-credentials`, `/ai-tools`, `/import`, `/pricing`, `/budgets`,
`/webhooks`, `/remote-sources`, `/reports`, `/pets`, `/users` and
`/alerts/rules` (`ADMIN_WRITE_PREFIXES` in `server/lib/auth.js`), plus a write
to a shared AI Proxy (see [AI Proxy profiles](#ai-proxy-profiles)). A
developer or analyst who tries one gets `403 EADMIN`, shown in the UI as "Only
an admin can do this". An analyst's other writes are scoped like a
developer's: one naming another user's row gets `404 ENOTFOUND` (`memberId` in
`server/lib/scope.js` limits every non-GET request of an analyst to their own
rows), and under S3 an analyst's workspace runs as their own Linux account
exactly like a developer's.
The UI hides what a role cannot use (`usePermissions` in
`client/src/components/AuthGate.tsx`): for anyone but an admin, Settings shows
no Data, Pricing or per-tool pages, no scheduled reports or git credentials,
no start-at-login/icon/Quit/Uninstall on System, no alert rules or channels,
no install/update/enable on AI tools, no pet upload or delete, and no update
check; the AI proxy page shows them only their personal profiles' Edit. An
analyst's Workspace page and sidebar list only
their own workspaces (`useWorkLanes`); other users' work is read on Sessions,
Analytics and Users, where Resume, Fork, Snapshot and "Open in workspace" are
hidden for a session that is not theirs. The sidebar's workspace list shows an
admin or analyst EVERY workspace, grouped under its owner (each lane carries
`owner_name`; yours first, no owner last, each group folds): for an analyst
another user's workspace there is read only — no menu, rename or new session,
no live tabs, and a session opens its analysis page (`/sessions/<id>`). An analyst's alert feed
(`GET /api/alerts`) carries `can_ack` on each alert — true only for their own
sessions' — and the feed offers Acknowledge only there; Ack all acknowledges
only theirs.
## What each user sees
Every workspace has an owner: the user who created it (`lanes.owner_id`).
Workspaces made before server mode, or by the host account, have none.
- A session belongs to the workspace that owns it: `sessions.lane_id`, or the
workspace whose pane holds it. Its agents, events, tokens, cost, alerts,
snapshots and workflow runs belong to that session.
- A **developer** sees only rows of their own workspaces, everywhere: lists,
counts, charts, cost, the Sessions/Events/Agents tables, exports, live
WebSocket updates and terminals. A request naming someone else's row (in the
path, the query or the body) gets `404 ENOTFOUND`, the same answer as a row
that does not exist (`scopeGuard`, `server/lib/scope.js`). Sessions with no
workspace, such as ones started in a terminal outside AgentHub, are not shown
to developers.
- An **admin** or **analyst** sees everything. Each time one of them opens a
session a developer owns (its page, transcript, events or cost), the read is
written to the audit log: `agenthub users audit`, or `GET /api/users/audit`.
- `GET /api/users` (admin/analyst) lists every account with its workspaces,
sessions, and the tokens and $ it used in the last 7 and 30 days — the
Users page in the sidebar shows it, with the audit log under it.
A developer also cannot open the host's own configuration, or any view across all
users: Claude Code / Codex config (except the command and skill lists the
prompt box uses), the AI tools' config files (`/api/ai-tools/<id>/config…`),
git credentials, remote sources, webhooks, reports, metrics, imports, data
export, alert rules and `/api/users`. Those return `403 EADMIN`, and Settings
hides them for developers. The command and skill lists show a developer only their
own workspaces' project items: `?cwd=` outside one of them answers
`403 EFOLDER`, and with no `cwd` they list no project items at all.
### AI Proxy profiles
Each user may keep **personal** AI Proxy profiles beside the **shared** ones:
- A developer's or analyst's new profile is always personal. An admin's is shared unless
they choose **Only me (personal)** in the form (`scope: "personal"`).
- A personal profile is named `u<user id>_<slug>`. Only its owner lists,
edits, deletes or tests it, and only the owner's workspaces can start a
session on it. Anyone else, an admin included, gets `404`, the same answer
as a profile that does not exist. A resume of a session that ran on someone
else's personal profile goes back to native.
- Only an admin writes a shared profile. Everyone can choose one.
- **No pane is given a proxy's key, and no route returns one.**
- A session's CLI talks to AgentHub's own loopback gateway,
`http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/proxy-gw/<profile>/v1/…`. Its key there is
its pane's token (`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN` for Claude, `AGENTHUB_PROXY_KEY`
for Codex).
- AgentHub swaps in the real key and streams the request to the profile's
endpoint.
- The gateway answers only on this machine, only while the pane lives, and
only for the profile the pane was started on.
- An agent can still spend through the profile while its pane runs, but it
cannot carry the key away.
- Claude account-pool tokens are not covered: they still reach the pane (see
[Claude account pool](#claude-account-pool)).
### Keep developers' folders apart
```bash
# in ~/.config/agenthub/settings.env
AGENTHUB_USERS_ROOT=/srv/agenthub/users
```
With this set, a developer or analyst can create a workspace only inside
`/srv/agenthub/users/<username>`; any other folder gets `403 EFOLDER`. The
same root limits a developer's folder browser (`GET /api/lanes/browse`, which
opens on their own folder) and `GET /api/lanes/branches`, both judged by real
path, so a link cannot point them elsewhere. Under S3 the home itself is no
workspace (its dot folders hold the member's logins); use a folder in it. A folder
that already belongs to another user's workspace gets `409 EOWNED`. Admins are
not limited. Without [one Linux user per account](#one-linux-user-per-account)
you create each user's folder yourself, and this keeps workspaces apart, not
agents. `install-system` sets this value to `/srv/agenthub/users`, and adding a
user makes the folder (it is the Linux account's home).
## What the gate does
- `/api/health` and `/api/auth/*` answer without a login. Everything else
under `/api` answers `401 EAUTH` until someone logs in, and the UI shows the
login page. Paths are checked the way Express routes them: decoded, with
repeated slashes collapsed, and case-insensitive.
- The login page follows the OS's light/dark. After a login the dashboard
wears that account's own appearance (Settings → Appearance, saved in
`/api/me/prefs`); an account that never chose one follows the OS.
- Hooks (`/api/hooks/*`) are accepted only from this machine: a loopback socket
with no forwarding header. A request through the proxy gets
`403 ELOCALONLY`. `POST /api/hooks/ingest-batch` keeps its own bearer token.
- Every write (any method but GET/HEAD) that carries an `Origin` or `Referer`
must name the dashboard's own allowed host, or loopback. Anything else gets
`403 EBADORIGIN`. This is on top of the `SameSite=Strict` cookie, which a
sibling subdomain would still satisfy.
- WebSockets need a login, and an `Origin` that is the request's own allowed
Host. A terminal (`/ws-pty/*`) is refused to anyone but an admin and the
owner of the pane's workspace (an analyst included). Open sockets are re-checked: `/ws` every 30 s,
terminals every 10 s (`AGENTHUB_PTY_RECHECK_MS`). A logout, a disable, a
password change, or losing the pane's workspace closes them.
- A login lasts 30 days in the httpOnly, `SameSite=Strict` cookie
`agenthub_sid`. Only the token's SHA-256 is stored. Logging out, a password
change and disabling the user each end it.
- Passwords are stored as scrypt hashes and must be at least 8 characters.
Every login attempt counts before its password is checked, so attempts sent
in parallel count too. After 10 failed logins from one address, or 30 for one
username, in 15 minutes, further logins answer `429 ETOOMANY` until the
window passes. The counters are kept in memory, so a restart resets them.
- **Inside a pane**, the `agenthub` CLI, the MCP server and the statusline act
as the owner of the pane's workspace. Each pane the dashboard starts gets its
own `AGENTHUB_PANE_TOKEN` through tmux `-e`, and the database stores only its
hash (`dashboard_runs.pane_token_hash`). The token is accepted only from this
machine and only while that pane is alive, as header `x-agenthub-pane-token`
(with one Linux user per account on: only from the Linux account that pane
runs as, read from the kernel like a hook's sender).
A workspace with no owner has no such user. Give old workspaces an owner with
`agenthub users assign <workspace id> <user>`. With one Linux user per
account on, a workspace inside a member's home can be owned by that member
only, and one outside the users root (its panes run as the host account) by
an admin only: creating, assigning or starting one against that answers
`409 EOWNERFOLDER` — by the user's role at that moment, and demoting or
disabling a user ends their panes that run as the host. A pane's folder must
be its workspace's account's too (`409 ECWDACCOUNT`).
- Named locks (`agenthub lock …`) are per user: a developer's lock names live in
their own namespace, so one user's agents never see or take another's.
- Browser push subscriptions belong to the user who made them. A
notification goes only to that user's own browsers, never to the host's
desktop.
- A developer or analyst cannot create a session by hand (`POST /api/sessions` → `403`), and
cannot change a workspace's pane or session columns: `PATCH` accepts only
`title`, `pipeline`, `notes`, `links` and `branch` (`403 EFIELD`).
Pet uploads are admin-only.
- The native file picker stays local-only (`EREMOTE`) and every page falls back
to its folder browser.
## Accounts
An admin manages accounts on the **Users** page (sidebar; admins and analysts
see it, an analyst only reads): add a user, change a role, disable or enable,
reset a password, give a workspace. Every change asks for the admin's OWN
password again — the server refuses without it (`EREAUTH`, and `ETOOMANY`
after 10 wrong tries in 15 minutes) — an admin can never demote or disable
themselves (`ESELF`), and each change is written to the audit log. In local
mode these routes refuse (`ELOCALMODE`): there is no login to check.
The same from the host's shell:
```bash
agenthub users list
agenthub users add <name> [--role admin|analyst|developer]
agenthub users passwd <name> # ends that user's logins
agenthub users role <name> <role>
agenthub users disable <name> # ends that user's logins; users are never deleted
agenthub users enable <name>
agenthub users assign <workspace id> <name> # give a pre-server-mode workspace an owner
agenthub users audit [--limit N] # who read which developer's session
agenthub server status
```
## Claude account pool
An admin can sign every Claude account the company has into AgentHub. Each new
Claude session then runs on the account with the most room left, and nobody has
to log in or switch accounts by hand. The pool works in local mode too, and it
stays empty (changing nothing) until you add an account.
```bash
# Once per account: sign in as that account and make a one-year token
claude setup-token
# Add it to the pool (the token is typed hidden, or piped on stdin)
agenthub accounts add team-1
agenthub accounts list # live panes, $ in the last 5 h / 7 d, quota, state
agenthub accounts remove team-1
```
How a new session picks its account (`server/lib/claude-pool.js`):
1. An account whose last quota reading is at or above 90% in the 5-hour or
weekly window goes last. It is still used if every account is that full.
2. Next, the account with the fewest live panes, so concurrent sessions spread out.
3. Then the account with the least $ spent in the last 5 hours, then the last
7 days. AgentHub sums this from the usage of the sessions it started on each
account (`dashboard_runs.account`).
- The pane gets the token through tmux `-e CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=…`. That
token outranks the machine's own `/login` for that process only.
- A session on an AI Proxy keeps the proxy's key and does not use the pool.
- A token more than a year old is skipped.
- A resumed session picks an account again, like a new one.
- Quota is read with each account's own token, in the background, at most every
5 minutes. If the usage endpoint refuses a setup-token, the state column shows
`no quota (…)` and ranking uses spend alone.
- `GET /api/accounts` returns the same table, without tokens.
> **Ceiling:** anyone with a terminal in AgentHub can read the token of the
> account their pane runs on (`echo $CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`). Without one
> Linux user per account they can also read every file of the pool. With it,
> they still see their own pane's token (a member's pane gets it through its
> launch file instead of tmux `-e`), but no other account's process or file.
> The AI Proxy gateway does not cover pool tokens.
## Codex account pool
The same for Codex (`server/lib/codex-pool.js`), with two kinds of account:
```bash
# An OpenAI API key (typed hidden, or piped on stdin)
agenthub accounts add team-key --tool codex --api-key
# A ChatGPT account: sign in in a scratch home, then hand that home over
CODEX_HOME=$(mktemp -d) codex login
agenthub accounts add team-chatgpt --tool codex --from /tmp/tmp.XXXX
agenthub accounts list --tool codex
agenthub accounts remove team-key --tool codex
```
- **API key**: any number of panes at once. The pane gets the key through
tmux `-e AGENTHUB_POOL_KEY=…`, and Codex is pointed at it with
`-c model_providers.agenthub_pool={…env_key="AGENTHUB_POOL_KEY"…}` — the
argv names the variable, never the key.
- **ChatGPT**: Codex reads this login only from `$CODEX_HOME/auth.json`, so it
is used only for a pane that runs as its developer (one Linux user per
account): AgentHub writes the account's `auth.json` into that developer's
`~/.codex` as them (0600) just before the pane starts.
- A host pane never gets one: its `CODEX_HOME` holds the host's own login.
- A developer who signed Codex in themselves keeps their own login.
- While a pane of theirs runs on a pool account, their next pane uses the
same account (one `auth.json` per home).
- Codex rotates refresh tokens. Every 10 s AgentHub copies a developer's
`auth.json` back into the pool when its `last_refresh` is newer, so a new
pane starts from the newest login — only from a home AgentHub placed that
account in, never with a `last_refresh` in the future, and only when its
`id_token` names the same account and email. The `id_token` signature is
not checked: a developer the account was placed with can still spoil it
for others until a real refresh from another home wins it back. Several panes may share one account
(checked on codex 0.161: an older refresh token still refreshes).
- Ranking is the Claude pool's: quota ≥ 90% last, then fewest live Codex
panes, then $ in 5 h / 7 d. The quota is the newest `rate_limits` in the
rollouts of the sessions that account's runs started (no network), each
read only from the `CODEX_HOME` of the account its workspace runs as, and
never one dated in the future.
- A session on an AI Proxy keeps the proxy and does not use the pool.
> **Ceiling:** a pane can read its own account's key (`$AGENTHUB_POOL_KEY`) or
> `auth.json`, like the Claude pool's token.
## One Linux user per account
Every pane of a user, an agent's shell included, runs as that user's own Linux
account (`ah-<username>`). An agent in Alice's terminal then cannot read Bob's
folders, transcripts or the dashboard's database: the OS stops it, not just the
UI. This is phase S3 of `docs/plans/server-mode/S3-PLAN.md`. It is ON when
server mode is on AND `/etc/agenthub/server.conf` exists
(`server/lib/linux-accounts.js`, `s3Enabled`); without that file everything
below is a no-op and server mode behaves as described above. To install it,
follow the [operator runbook](#operator-runbook).

### The model
- **Identity.** AgentHub user `alice` is Linux user `ah-alice`, home
`/srv/agenthub/users/alice` (`0750`, owner `ah-alice`, group `agenthub`).
The name must be lower case: a letter, then up to 28 letters, digits, `_` or
`-` (`LINUX_NAME_RE`). While S3 is on, a user with any other name cannot be
created (`400 EBADUSER`). Admins and analysts get a Linux account too. A
workspace's folder decides who runs it (`server/lib/run-as.js`,
`accountForPath`): a folder under `/srv/agenthub/users/<name>/` runs as
`ah-<name>`; any other folder runs as the host account, as before (a
workspace made before S3 outside the users root, for example). A folder under the users root whose
user is unknown, disabled or not provisioned is an error (`409
EMEMBERGONE`), never "run it as the host".
- **The dashboard.** A SYSTEM unit, `agenthub.service`, runs it as the host
account with `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH` (it reads every member's tool files —
Claude writes transcripts `0600` — but writes none of them). Every program
it starts goes through `setpriv --inh-caps=-all --ambient-caps=-all` first
(`server/lib/drop-caps.js`), so host panes, git hooks and npm do not inherit
the capability.
- **Run-as through sudo.** Everything done AS a member is
`sudo -n -u ah-<name> <command>`, and the sudoers file allows exactly
`tmux`, `git`, `gh` (by the absolute paths in `server.conf`),
`/opt/agenthub/libexec/write-as` and `/opt/agenthub/tools/bin/claude` (the
plugin baseline) that way — never root. As root, the host may
run only `/opt/agenthub/sbin/agenthub-provision` (create, disable or enable
a member) and `systemctl start|stop|restart|enable|disable
agenthub.service`. Members are never in sudoers.
- **sudo logs every command line**, so nothing secret or private crosses it:
a pane's environment (its pane token, a pool token) and its command (the
prompt) go into a launch file that `write-as` writes as the member (`0600`,
from stdin) and `/opt/agenthub/libexec/pane-launch` reads, deletes and
execs. File contents go to `write-as` on stdin.
- **hidepid is required.** `/proc` is mounted `hidepid=invisible`, with group
`agenthub-proc` (the host account, `polkitd`) exempt. Without it any account
could read another's command lines. `install-system` stops if the remount
fails.
- **Hooks are authenticated by the sender's uid**, read from the kernel's
table of loopback connections (`/proc/net/tcp*`, `server/lib/hook-auth.js`),
not from anything the hook says.
- **The AI Proxy gateway.** A pane on an AI Proxy profile gets
`http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/proxy-gw/<profile>` and its own pane token as
the key; AgentHub swaps in the real key upstream
(`server/lib/proxy-gateway.js`, see [AI Proxy profiles](#ai-proxy-profiles)).
A Claude pane gets the token in a per-run `--settings` file, so a user or
project `env.ANTHROPIC_*` cannot override it.
- **Shared tools.** Members run every AI tool, node and AgentHub's own scripts
from `/opt/agenthub` (`server/lib/shared-tools.js`), first on their pane's
`PATH`, with self-update off (`DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1`).
### What install-system sets up
The pieces, and what each is for (the install steps are in the
[runbook](#install)):
| Piece | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| `ah-<name>` | Made by `agenthub-provision`, not by the installer. One Linux user per AgentHub user, home `/srv/agenthub/users/<name>` (`0750`, group `agenthub`): the member owns it, the dashboard reads it, nobody else gets in. `.agenthub/{tmux,handoff}` (0700) is made by the member: their tmux socket, and the files the dashboard writes for their panes (as them) |
| groups | `agenthub` (reads member homes: the host account), `agenthub-members` (every `ah-*` account), `agenthub-proc` (sees every process: the host account, `polkitd`) |
| `agenthub.service` | A SYSTEM unit, `User=<host>`, with `SupplementaryGroups=agenthub agenthub-proc` and `AmbientCapabilities=CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH`: the dashboard can read every member's tool files (Claude writes transcripts `0600`), but cannot write them. Every program it starts has the capability removed first (`setpriv`), so host panes, git and npm do not inherit it. It reads node and the plugin root from `<data dir>/runtime/agenthub.system.env`, a file the host owns, so a plugin update repoints it without root |
| `/etc/sudoers.d/agenthub` | The host may run only `tmux`, `git`, `gh` (by the absolute paths recorded in `/etc/agenthub/server.conf`), `/opt/agenthub/libexec/write-as` and `/opt/agenthub/tools/bin/claude` (the [plugin baseline](#plugin-baseline-opt-in)) AS a member, plus, as root, only `/opt/agenthub/sbin/agenthub-provision` and `systemctl start/stop/restart/enable/disable agenthub.service`. Members are never in sudoers |
| `/etc/agenthub/server.conf` | Root's, `0644`: the host account and uid, the users root, the port, and the `tmux`/`git`/`gh` paths sudoers lists. Its presence turns S3 on |
| `write-as`, `pane-launch` | `/opt/agenthub/libexec/`, root's. `write-as <path> [append\|replace\|private\|mkdir\|remove]` runs AS a member and does the one change, content on stdin. `pane-launch <file>` starts a member's pane from its launch file |
| `agenthub-provision` | The one root command besides `systemctl` on this unit: `create`, `disable` or `enable` `ah-<name>`. It refuses an account that exists outside `agenthub-members` and never deletes anything |
| `/etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json` | Members' Claude Code hooks, through `/opt/agenthub/libexec/member-hook`, which does nothing for the host account (its plugin reports). A foreign file there is left alone |
| `hidepid=invisible` | `/proc` (now and in `/etc/fstab`): an account sees only its own processes, so no member can read another's command line. A token passed with `tmux -e` is in one |
| `/opt/agenthub/{tools,app}` | Owned by the host account: the dashboard updates them, every account runs them. `tools/bin` holds node and every installed AI tool; this install's hook handler, CLI, MCP server and statusline go in `app`, with the `agenthub` launcher in `tools/bin`. The AI tools are published there after each install or update from the AI Tools page, at server start, and by `agenthub server tools`. A publish copies a native binary, an npm package's folder, or a script's own version folder. A tool that is not published yet answers a member's start with `409 ENOTSHARED` |
What runs as the member, and how:
- **Panes.**
- Each member has their own tmux server (`~/.agenthub/tmux/sock`). Every tmux command on it, attaching a browser terminal included, runs as `sudo -u ah-<name> tmux …`. The dashboard never connects to it as itself: the member controls that socket.
- sudo logs every command line it runs, so a pane's environment (its tokens) and its command (the prompt) are not on it. `write-as` writes them to a launch file (`0600`, from stdin), and `/opt/agenthub/libexec/pane-launch` reads it, deletes it and starts the command. A prompt pasted later goes in on stdin.
- A pane gets the member's `HOME`, `CODEX_HOME` and `PATH` (`/opt/agenthub/tools/bin` first), with `DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1` and none of the host's desktop variables.
- **Git, `gh` and file saves.**
- In a member's folder, git and `gh` run as `sudo -n -u ah-<name> git …`, so git's own ownership check passes and every file stays the member's.
- The editor and `.gitignore` saves go through `/opt/agenthub/libexec/write-as`.
- AgentHub's stored git logins are never handed to a member's git, and a password typed in the dashboard is refused (`400 EMEMBERCRED`): the member signs in to their git host from their own terminal.
- **Files a pane reads.** These are written into `~/.agenthub/handoff/` AS the member (`write-as`). The dashboard never writes, changes or deletes anything in a member's home itself: the member could have swapped the name for a link. The files are:
- the workspace prompt and its context files;
- the AI Proxy settings: no key, only that pane's own token for the gateway;
- files dropped into the prompt box;
- a pane's launch file.
Codex gets its proxy as `-c` overrides, never a file in the member's `CODEX_HOME`.
- **Reading a member's files.** A transcript, a Codex, Antigravity or Cursor journal, or a file in the workspace is read only when the opened file is a regular file the member owns. A link to another account's file is refused, and so is a FIFO. A journal speaks only for its own account: its session's folder must be inside that home. A member's Antigravity conversation (SQLite, which opens its `-journal`/`-wal` by name) is read from a private copy; the walk that turns a Cursor project slug back into a folder follows no link and gives up after 500 folders.
- **Hooks.** A hook is matched to its sender's Linux account, read from the kernel's table of loopback connections.
- A member's Claude Code reports through `/etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json` → `/opt/agenthub/libexec/member-hook` → `/opt/agenthub/app/scripts/hook-handler.js`.
- The host's hooks are accepted as before.
- A member's hook may report only work inside their own home: another account's folder, session or pane is `403 EFOREIGN`, and a transcript path outside the home is dropped.
- Any other account is `403 EPEER`.
- **Liveness.** A member's session counts as alive while the pane holding it lives, because the dashboard cannot read another account's process directory. A session the member started in their own shell ends once it has been idle for the idle timeout.
Not offered for a workspace in a member's folder (`403 EMEMBERLANE`): the
Add-workspace **Worktree** mode and the runtime layer (`lanes up/down/hook`,
profiles, proof, lane MCP). Both run as the dashboard's own account. Use
**Repo** mode and the prompt box's **New worktree** instead.
**First sign-in.** Every account gets AgentHub's own setup once, in the
browser: the default agent and permission mode, the look (System, Dark or
Light, a theme for each, language, terminal font), the pet and notifications,
then a guided tour to the first workspace and session. The choices are stored
per account (`/api/me/prefs`), so they follow the user to any browser; an
account that already has a workspace skips it, and Settings → Appearance →
**Run setup again** brings it back.
A member's own Claude Code skips its first-run questions: `agenthub-provision`
marks its onboarding done and trusts the member's home (which covers every
folder under it), and the dark/light mode picked in AgentHub becomes Claude's
theme. Accepting Bypass Permissions mode stays the member's own choice, made
in their terminal.
### Plugin baseline (opt-in)
Write `/etc/agenthub/plugin-baseline.json` (as
root) to give every NEW member your plugins:
```json
{ "marketplaces": ["owner/repo"], "plugins": ["name@marketplace"] }
```
After a user is created, AgentHub runs, as that member and in the
background, `claude plugin marketplace add <source>` for each marketplace and
then `claude plugin install --scope user <plugin>` for each plugin; each
result is logged as `[plugin-baseline]`. `agenthub users provision <name>`
(or `--all`) runs it again in the foreground. No file, nothing runs. `-y` is
never passed, so a plugin that installs by running a marketplace-declared
command fails here; the member installs it from their own terminal. Members
add their own plugins with `/plugin` as usual.
### What the second review closed
The 2026-10-09 review looked for ways a member can point the dashboard's own
rights (`CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH`, the host account, sudo as any member) at files
that are not theirs. Each case below is refused, with a test in
`server/__tests__/server-s3-review2.test.js`:
- **A workspace folder swapped for a link.** The file view, image view, blame
and the file editor resolve the workspace's real path and refuse it
(`403 EFOREIGN`) when it lands in another account's files — another
member's folder, the host's home, `/etc`. The account a read or save runs as
is never taken from where a link points.
- **A member's git dir naming a path outside their home.** The `info/exclude`
line AgentHub adds for a new worktree or `.mcp.json` is written only when the
repo's real git dir is the same account's; a FIFO there cannot hang the
dashboard.
- **Browsing and branch lists.** A developer's `GET /api/lanes/browse` and
`GET /api/lanes/branches` stay inside their own folder (`403 EFOLDER`), and
so does a workspace's extra folder (`POST /api/lanes/:id/sources/folder`,
refused before the path is looked at, so the answer says nothing about
another member's files).
- **The top of a member's home.** Its dot folders (`.claude`, `.codex`,
`.config`, `.ssh`, `.agenthub`…) hold logins and pane tokens: no workspace
file view serves them to anyone (`403 ESECRET`), and the home itself is no
workspace.
- **Transcripts by session id.** A scan by id looks only in the session
owner's home, so a file another member plants under that id is never shown.
- **Codex journals.** A rollout journal sets the status only of a lane in its
own account's home, and the newest-40 window is per home.
- **A disabled member's sessions.** Opening one reads from their home instead
of crashing the server, and the liveness reaper skips them instead of
stopping.
- **Host terminals.** A browser terminal's `tmux attach` (node-pty, which
forks outside `child_process`) is started through `setpriv` too, so it does
not keep `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH`.
- **AI Proxy edits.** Editing a profile rewrites a running gateway pane's own
settings file (with its own token), and deletes the file of a pane that has
ended.
### What review round 5 closed
The fifth review (2026-10-09) looked at the dashboard's ONE thread and at who
a pane really is. Each case below is refused or bounded, with a test in
`server/__tests__/server-s3-review5.test.js`:
- **AgentHub's data dir is never a config file.** `GET /api/cc-config/file`
refuses anything in it — the database, the push keys, and each gateway
pane's settings file, which holds that pane's live token.
- **A member's stopped or flooding tmux server.** Every call on it has a 3 s
limit and a 1 MiB answer cap; one that hit either is not asked again for a
minute. Meanwhile only that member's panes count as unknown (kept, not
ended); everyone else's are still checked. Listing a member's panes (every
poll: the pane list, the workspace list, the 10 s heal beat, the liveness
reaper) never waits for them: it runs in the background and the poll reads
its last answer, so a stopped server stalls nobody. Until a first answer,
or once the last is 15 s old, their panes count as unknown too. A call a
click makes on a member's pane (start, type, stop) still waits, up to the
3 s. Every other synchronous call
that runs as a member (git in their folder, `write-as`) stops after 5 s.
- **A member's huge or sparse files.** Transcripts and journals are read line
by line with a 64 MiB cap per line (a 512 MB line used to crash the server);
a whole member file is read only up to a cap (1 MiB for a login or a
settings file, 16 MiB for an index or a workflow journal, 256 MiB for a
SQLite copy, 64 MiB otherwise); a member transcript over 256 MiB is neither
parsed nor snapshotted, and the snapshot keeps a sparse file's holes. The
snapshot copy is asynchronous (1 MiB at a time), so a big one never stalls
the dashboard for other users, and it lands by rename — never half-written.
- **A request that makes a route throw** answers 500 instead of stopping the
server (a member folder of a gone user crashed `POST /api/lanes/worktree`).
- **Who a pane runs as.** A non-admin owns no workspace outside their home
(above), a pane's folder is its workspace's account's, and a pane token
works only from that account's uid.
- **A path an analyst names.** Browsing, branch lists and the `@` file search
stay in their own folder or workspaces, like a developer's.
- **Drops** are saved where the pane that reads them can read them: as the
workspace's account (the client names the workspace), not the dropper's.
- **The Codex pool and ChatGPT Teams.** A login is the pool's only when
AgentHub placed it in that home AND it is the same person (email): every
seat of a Team shares one `account_id`, so a member's own seat is theirs.
### Accepted ceilings
- The dashboard process can read any file, `/etc/shadow` included. `sudo`
needs that file, so the unit cannot hide it (`InaccessiblePaths` hides only
`/root`). Treat the host account as privileged, and keep it out of the
`sudo` group on a real server: there the sudoers file above is all it may
do.
- Anything that runs as the host account can run anything as any member: the
sudoers file lets it start `tmux` as them. A host compromise is every
member's compromise.
- `install-system` installs and runs code from the host account's install, as
root. Re-run it only from a tree you trust.
- sudo's log (readable by root and `adm`) shows members' commit messages,
branch names, pull-request titles and file paths, never a token or a prompt.
- A member may point a personal AI Proxy at any URL, so the dashboard will
POST to it. They have a shell on the machine anyway.
- The gateway forwards any path under `/v1/` to the profile's upstream, and an
agent can spend through a profile while its pane lives.
- A Claude pool token is in its pane's environment: the member of that pane
can read it (see [Claude account pool](#claude-account-pool)). The same goes
for a Codex pool API key, and for a Codex ChatGPT login written into the
member's `~/.codex/auth.json` ([Codex account pool](#codex-account-pool)).
- The Codex pool's quota reading comes from rollout journals, which their
member writes: a member can forge the reading of their OWN session (say a
pool account is full, or empty) and so steer the balancer for everyone
until a newer reading wins. They cannot speak for another account's run:
a run's rollout is read only from its own account's `CODEX_HOME`, and never
one dated in the future.
- A member session started in the member's own shell, outside a dashboard
pane, counts as alive only until its idle timeout: the dashboard cannot read
another account's `/proc/<pid>`.
## Operator runbook
Every command below runs as the **host account** (the one that runs the
dashboard) unless it says `sudo`. `agenthub server install-system` calls sudo
itself, once.
### What a new machine needs before `install-system`
`install-system` does not do any of this:
1. A Linux machine with systemd, kernel ≥ 5.8 (for `hidepid=invisible`),
`sudo` with `visudo`, the shadow tools (`useradd`, `usermod`, `groupadd`),
util-linux (`runuser`, `setpriv` at `/usr/bin/setpriv`, `mount`), `pkill`,
`sha256sum`.
2. A host account that is not root, with sudo rights for this one run (take
them away again afterwards, see step 9 below).
3. Node (the version AgentHub needs), `tmux`, `git` and, if you want it, `gh`
on that account's `PATH`. Their absolute paths are recorded once, in
`/etc/agenthub/server.conf` and the sudoers file.
4. AgentHub installed for the host account, as the plugin or a checkout
(`npm run setup && npm run build`), and running once
(`agenthub start`).
5. Server mode on, with the first admin:
`agenthub server setup --hostname agenthub.example.com --admin boss`
(see [Set it up](#set-it-up)).
6. The AI tools members will use, installed for the host account (the AI
Tools page or by hand).
7. The HTTPS reverse proxy (see [Put HTTPS in front of it](#put-https-in-front-of-it)).
### Install
```bash
agenthub server install-system --dry-run # print the one sudo command it will run
agenthub server install-system # install, then switch to the system unit
agenthub users provision --all # Linux accounts for users made earlier (the admin from setup)
agenthub server tools # publish the AI tools to /opt now (the server also does it at start)
```
What `agenthub server install-system` does, in order (`installSystem` in
`bin/agenthub.js`, root half `scripts/server/install-system.sh`; running it
again changes nothing that is already in place):
1. Refuses to run as root. Resolves, as the host account: its name, node, this
install's root, the data dir, the port (`DASHBOARD_PORT`, else 4820) and
the paths of `tmux`, `git` and `gh`.
2. As root (`sudo bash install-system.sh …`), after checking each value:
1. creates groups `agenthub`, `agenthub-members`, `agenthub-proc`; adds the
host account to `agenthub` and `agenthub-proc`, and `polkitd` (if it
exists) to `agenthub-proc`;
2. creates `/srv/agenthub/users` (`0751` root), `/opt/agenthub/{sbin,libexec}`
and `/etc/agenthub` (root), `/opt/agenthub/{tools,tools/bin,app}` (the
host account's);
3. writes `/etc/agenthub/server.conf` (`HOST_USER`, `HOST_UID`,
`USERS_ROOT`, `PORT`, `TMUX_BIN`, `GIT_BIN`, `GH_BIN`);
4. installs `agenthub-provision`, `write-as` and `pane-launch` from
`scripts/server/`;
5. copies node to `/opt/agenthub/tools/node/<version>` (linked from
`tools/bin/node`) and this install's `scripts/` and `server/lib/` to
`/opt/agenthub/app`;
6. writes `/opt/agenthub/libexec/member-hook` (the port is baked in);
7. writes `/etc/sudoers.d/agenthub`, only after `visudo -c` accepts it;
8. writes `/etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json` (the member hooks) unless
a file that is not AgentHub's is already there;
9. `chmod o-rwx` the host's `~/.claude`, and warns when the host's home is
open to other accounts;
10. adds the `hidepid=invisible,gid=agenthub-proc` line to `/etc/fstab`
(backup: `/etc/fstab.agenthub-bak`) and remounts `/proc` with it;
11. writes `/etc/systemd/system/agenthub.service` and runs
`systemctl daemon-reload`. It does not start it.
3. As the host account again: writes `<data dir>/runtime/agenthub.system.env`
(node, plugin root, port, client dist), sets `AGENTHUB_USERS_ROOT` in
AgentHub's settings file, and disables the `systemd --user` unit (its tmux
panes stay).
4. Stops a dashboard still running without the system unit, then
`sudo -n systemctl enable` and `start --no-block agenthub.service`, and
fails unless the unit is active 3 seconds later.
What a new machine still needs by hand after it:
1. `agenthub users provision --all`: users created before S3 was on (the
admin from `server setup` is one) have no Linux account yet.
2. Log out and back in once, so your own shell joins `agenthub` and
`agenthub-proc` (the unit gets them on its own).
3. `chmod o-rwx ~` for the host account if the installer warned: the database
lives under it.
4. If the installer left a foreign `/etc/claude-code/managed-settings.json`
alone, add the member hooks to it yourself: for each of `PreToolUse`,
`PostToolUse` (both with `"matcher": "*"`), `Stop`, `SubagentStop`,
`Notification`, `SessionStart`, `SessionEnd` and `UserPromptSubmit`, a
`command` hook `/opt/agenthub/libexec/member-hook <Event>` with
`"timeout": 5`.
5. Any other daemon that must see every process (monitoring agents, for
example) needs group `agenthub-proc`: `sudo usermod -aG agenthub-proc <it>`.
6. A tool `agenthub server tools` reports as `ESHAREDLAYOUT` (a script in a
shared folder) must be installed under `/opt/agenthub/tools` by hand.
7. Remove the host account from the `sudo` group (`sudo deluser <host> sudo`
on Debian/Ubuntu). Re-running `install-system` later needs it back for
that run.
8. Pool accounts, if you use a pool: `agenthub accounts add <name>` (Claude)
or `agenthub accounts add <name> --tool codex --api-key|--from <dir>`
([Codex account pool](#codex-account-pool)).
9. Optional: `/etc/agenthub/plugin-baseline.json` for new members' plugins
([Plugin baseline](#plugin-baseline-opt-in)).
### Add, disable and enable a user
```bash
agenthub users add alice [--role admin|analyst|developer] # or the Users page
agenthub users disable alice
agenthub users enable alice
agenthub users provision alice # the Linux account only (a user made before S3, or after a failed create)
```
- **Add** creates the Linux account FIRST (`agenthub-provision create`):
`useradd ah-alice` with home `/srv/agenthub/users/alice`, group
`agenthub-members`; the home is set to `ah-alice:agenthub 0750`; as the
member it makes `~/.agenthub/{tmux,handoff}` (`0700`) and marks Claude
Code's onboarding done and the home trusted in `~/.claude.json`. If any of
that fails, no AgentHub user is made (`502 EPROVISION`, with the helper's own
words). An account `ah-alice` that already exists outside
`agenthub-members`, or an existing folder `/srv/agenthub/users/alice` with no
account, is refused. With a [plugin baseline](#plugin-baseline-opt-in)
file in place, its plugins are then installed as the member in the
background.
- **Disable** disables the AgentHub user and ends their logins FIRST, then
locks the Linux account (`usermod --lock --expiredate 1`) and kills every
process of `ah-alice` (`pkill -KILL -u`: their tmux server and every pane).
A failed lock still answers `502 EPROVISION`, but the logins are already
gone. A user with no Linux account (made before S3, or a name that does not
fit) is disabled without any sudo. Their files stay.
- **Enable** clears the expiry date (when there is a Linux account) and
re-enables the AgentHub user.
- **Delete**: AgentHub never deletes a user, an account or a home. To remove
one for good, disable it, then by hand: `sudo userdel ah-alice`, and move or
delete `/srv/agenthub/users/alice` yourself. The AgentHub user row stays.
- **A name that does not fit** (upper case, a dot): `provision` refuses it
(`provision --all` reports it and goes on with the next user, exit code 1).
Create a new user with a fitting name, move the old workspaces' folders into
their home (`/srv/agenthub/users/<name>/…`, owned by `ah-<name>`) and add
them there again. `agenthub users assign <workspace id> <name>` gives a
workspace only to the member whose home holds it, or — for a folder outside
the users root, whose panes run as the host — to an admin; anything else
answers `EOWNERFOLDER`.
### Upgrade
- Update AgentHub as usual (Settings → Updates, `/agenthub-update`). The
bootstrap repoints the unit by rewriting
`<data dir>/runtime/agenthub.system.env` (a host-owned file, no root) and
restarts it with `sudo -n systemctl restart --no-block agenthub.service`.
Panes survive (`KillMode=process`).
- At start, the server republishes its own scripts to `/opt/agenthub/app`
and every installed AI tool to `/opt/agenthub/tools`, in the background. An
install or update from the AI Tools page publishes that tool right after.
- An update never touches a root-owned file. **Re-run `agenthub server
install-system`** when a release changes anything under `scripts/server/`
(provision helper, `write-as`, `pane-launch`, the member hook, sudoers, the
unit; an install from before the plugin baseline needs it once for the
`claude` sudoers entry), when the port changes (the member hook has it baked in), and when
`tmux`, `git` or `gh` moves to another path (sudoers allows only the
recorded ones).
- Keep every other AgentHub server off the same database (a dev server on
another port): an older build cannot see members' tmux servers and marks
their runs abandoned.
### Undo and uninstall
```bash
agenthub server install-system --uninstall # back to the systemd --user unit
```
As root it stops, disables and deletes the system unit (only if it is
AgentHub's), deletes the sudoers file, the managed settings (only if
unchanged since it wrote them), the `/etc/fstab` line (backup:
`/etc/fstab.agenthub-bak`; `/proc` is remounted `hidepid=off`),
`/opt/agenthub/{sbin,libexec}` and `server.conf`. Then, as the host account,
it repoints the `systemd --user` unit at this install and runs `systemctl
--user enable --now agenthub`.
It keeps `/srv/agenthub/users` and every home, the `ah-*` accounts, the groups
and `/opt/agenthub/{tools,app}`. It does not stop members' running tmux
servers: disable those users first if they should end. With `server.conf`
gone, S3 is off and server mode works as without it.
To remove everything:
1. `agenthub server install-system --uninstall`
2. `agenthub server off`, then `agenthub uninstall --yes` (the Uninstall
button refuses in server mode, `ESERVERMODE`).
3. By hand, as root, only if you want them gone: `userdel` each `ah-*`
account, `groupdel agenthub agenthub-members agenthub-proc`, and delete
`/srv/agenthub`, `/opt/agenthub` and `/etc/agenthub`. These hold members'
work: AgentHub never deletes them.
### Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause, and what to do |
| --- | --- |
| `install-system: generated sudoers did not validate` | Nothing was installed past that step. Check the tool paths it printed (`--dry-run`). |
| `install-system: …/managed-settings.json exists and is not ours` | Members' Claude hooks are not installed; add them by hand (above). |
| `install-system` stops at the `/proc` remount | The kernel does not support `hidepid=invisible` (< 5.8). The `/etc/fstab` line is already added: remove it or restore `/etc/fstab.agenthub-bak` before rebooting. |
| `a dashboard is still running — stop it first` | A dashboard outside both units holds the port: `agenthub stop`, then run it again. |
| `agenthub.service did not stay up` | `sudo journalctl -u agenthub -n 50`. The unit reads `<data dir>/runtime/agenthub.system.env`. |
| `502 EPROVISION` when adding a user | The helper's own message says why (name, existing account or folder). No AgentHub user was made. |
| `400 EBADUSER` | The username does not fit the Linux rule (above). |
| `409 EMEMBERGONE` on a start or a git action | The workspace's folder is under the users root but its user is disabled, unknown or not provisioned: `agenthub users enable <name>` or `agenthub users provision <name>`. |
| `409 ENOTSHARED` on a member's start | That tool is not published to `/opt/agenthub/tools` yet: `agenthub server tools`. |
| `403 EMEMBERLANE` | Worktree mode and the runtime layer are not offered in a member's folder; use Repo mode and the prompt box's New worktree. |
| `400 EMEMBERCRED` | A member signs in to their git host from their own terminal; AgentHub's stored git logins are not used for them. |
| `403 EPEER` on a hook | The hook came from an account that is neither the host nor an enabled member, or the uid could not be read. |
| `403 EFOREIGN` on a hook | A member's hook named a folder, session or pane outside their own home. |
| `403 EFOREIGN` on a file view or save | The workspace's folder is now a link into another account's files. Put the real folder back, or make a workspace on the real one. |
| A member's runs show as abandoned | Another, older AgentHub server on the same database (see Upgrade). |
| `sudo: a password is required` in the server log | The sudoers file is missing, or a tool moved off its recorded path: re-run `install-system`. |
| `[drop-caps] setpriv is missing` | Install util-linux's `setpriv` at `/usr/bin/setpriv`; until then the dashboard's children inherit `CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH`. |
| `[plugin-baseline] <name>: claude is not in the shared tools yet` | `claude` is not published to `/opt/agenthub/tools` yet: `agenthub server tools`, then `agenthub users provision <name>`. |
| `[plugin-baseline] <name>: … failed` with `sudo: a password is required` | The sudoers file predates the baseline: re-run `install-system`. |
| A member's first Claude run asks about Bypass Permissions | Expected: that consent stays the member's own. |
## Turn it off
```bash
agenthub server off
systemctl --user restart agenthub
```
Accounts are kept, so `agenthub server setup` turns server mode back on with
the same users.
