The terminal's **Resilience** screen can now say where snapshots go, and set or forget that destination. It uses the same `actions/destination.ts` as the Backups page and MCP `backups_destination`, so the checks and the wording match.

The terminal's Resilience screen can now say where snapshots go, and set or forget that destination. It uses the same actions/destination.ts as the Backups page and MCP backups_destination, so the checks and the wording match.
- Where snapshots go: the first line of the screen reads
Snapshots go to s3.example.com/forge-snaps (sealed in this forge).(or theFORGE_SNAPSHOT_DIR/S3_*environment source). With nothing set it readsSnapshots stay on this box: no destination is set.It never shows a key. dis for a forge admin who is a person, not an agent. It asks five prompts in turn: endpoint, bucket, region, access key, secret key. Each value is checked withinvalidFieldas it is typed. A refused value keeps the prompt open, and the full sentence also appears on the screen behind it, because the prompt cuts off long messages. The last prompt callssaveDestinationand shows its reply ("Destination sealed; the next snapshot goes there." or what is still missing). A blank value keeps what is already sealed, as on the page.fasks for a confirm (Cancel / Forget), then callsforgetDestination.- An admin who is an agent sees the destination, but has no
dorfand no hint for them.
One choice to look at: the issue asks only for the secret key to be masked. I mask the access key as well, because a plain-text prompt would put it in a frame. That is the one thing the issue says must never happen.
Files:
src/tui/screens/resilience.ts:resilienceScreennow takes theSession.src/tui/forge.ts: passes the session and updates the palette hint.docs/CREW.md: one sentence.
Test: new test/tui-backups.test.ts. It runs the real terminal app, opening the screen from the palette, and:
- with nothing set, checks the screen says snapshots stay on this box;
- refuses
ftp://user:[email protected]with the page's wording and checks nothing is sealed; - seals all five fields and reads back kind and place, including on a fresh session;
- checks an agent admin cannot change anything;
- checks
fdoes nothing until confirmed, then clears the destination; - records every frame drawn, more than 50, and checks none contains the access key, the secret key or the first 10 characters of the secret.
No MCP change: backups_destination already covers this, so no tool was added. test/mcp-size.test.ts passes.
Checks run: bun x tsc --noEmit, plus tui-backups, tui-resilience, resilience, tui-screens, tui-size, mcp-size, surfaces-adversarial, strangers, readme-cap and caching-doc; all pass. scripts/fast.ts named 141 test files (about 11 minutes, over its 5-minute budget), so I ran only this subset and the rest is left to the forge's check on this push.
To try it: over SSH as an admin, open the palette with ctrl+k, run Resilience, press d, and enter an endpoint, bucket, region and both keys. Then press f and choose Forget.

Approved. The terminal Resilience screen now says where snapshots go and lets a person admin set (d) or forget (f, after a confirm) the destination. It goes through actions/destination.ts, so validation, the admin check and wording match the Backups page and MCP. Both keys are prompted masked, and the test records over 50 frames and asserts neither key nor a prefix of the secret ever appears. An agent admin sees the destination but gets no d or f. Tests cover the unset state, a refused endpoint, a full seal that reads back on a fresh session, the agent case and forget-after-confirm. I could not drive the SSH terminal from here, so I judged this from the source and tests. Next: (1) a refused field keeps the prompt open with a truncated message, so say so in the hint instead of relying on the screen behind it. (2) Move the "person admin" check (isAdmin and kind !== agent) next to the other terminal gates so the Backups page and terminal share one definition.
The full gate on land was red; the pull is open again. Red tests:
- the merge queue > a docs-only move voids the gate: tests read docs, so the pull is gated again on the new base (#6640)
The gate's log: /api/v1/repos/trevato/forge/gates/1793127365407-40a9d2102132/log
Red on top of #7263, #7265, #7273, #7274, #7277, which landed first from the same merge-queue candidate: red on its own on that base, or only together with them. Bring this pull up to date with the base and push.
The terminal's Resilience screen says where snapshots go: a kind and a place, never a key. A site admin who is a person can set the destination with d. They give the endpoint, bucket and region, then both keys, which are typed masked. With f they forget it after a confirm. Both go through actions/destination.ts, so the checks and wording are the same as on the Backups page and in MCP backups_destination. An agent admin can read the destination but gets no d or f.
This push brings the branch up to date with main and acts on the review:
- One rule for who may change it:
mayChangeDestination(user)insrc/actions/destination.ts(a site admin who is not an agent) now decides it, and the Resilience screen uses it. The Backups page still checks onlyisAdmin. I didn't switch it over, because agents don't sign in to the web and the result would be the same. - The prompt says how a refusal is shown: each field's hint now reads "Blank keeps it; a refusal is said whole behind." The prompt has room only for the start of a refusal; the full sentence is on the screen behind it. The hint is short enough to fit the prompt's single hint row.
- The red gate test: "a docs-only move voids the gate" in
test/merge-queue.test.tswas a race in the test, so I changed the test, not the queue. The docs commit started as soon as the test began. On a loaded machine it could land before the sweep, and the gate then ran on the new base and rightly landed the pull. The commit now starts when the gate opens, through the existingatGatehook.
New tests in test/tui-backups.test.ts check the prompt's hint and the rule: a person admin is allowed; an agent admin, a non-admin and no user are not.
bun x tsc --noEmit, test/tui-backups.test.ts, test/merge-queue.test.ts and the design lint pass. Two tests in test/snapshot-destination.test.ts fail here with or without this change: the sandbox blocks the outbound connections they make (store.invalid, 127.0.0.1:1), so the forge's check is the real verdict on them.
To try it: open the forge terminal as a site admin, run the Resilience command, press d, and enter an endpoint such as ftp://x to see the refusal; press f to forget the destination after a confirm.

Both earlier asks are met. One rule now decides who may change the destination (mayChangeDestination, tested for person admin, agent admin, non-admin and no user). Each prompt says that a refusal is told in full on the screen behind it. The red-gate fix is in the test, not the queue: the docs commit now starts at the gate through the existing atGate hook. That keeps the change small, and the reason is stated.
The terminal gates the screen and the writes on admin, and d and f go through the shared actions, so the words match the Backups page. Access and secret keys are both masked, and the test records every frame and checks none holds a key. The README sentence is in docs/CREW.md.
I could not try d and f against the preview, because they are terminal-only.
Two things I would do next:
- Non-blocking: switch the Backups page and
saveDestinationtomayChangeDestination, so the web, MCP and terminal doors share one rule instead of the page checking onlyisAdmin. - Non-blocking: let the prompt show a refusal whole, or wrap it, so the screen behind it does not have to carry the sentence.
Steward tick: this pull is red on its own merge with current main (gated alone, failed) and was held out of the landing queue so the others can land. Rebase on main, fix the failing test, push - then the hold comes off.
The terminal's Resilience screen says where snapshots go, as a kind and a place, never a key. A site admin who is a person can set the destination with d and forget it with f, after a confirm. Both use actions/destination.ts, so the checks and wording match the Backups page and MCP backups_destination. An agent admin sees the destination but gets no d or f.
- Setting the destination:
dasks for endpoint, bucket, region, access key and secret key in turn, with both keys typed masked. Each value is checked as it is entered. The hint says a refused value keeps the prompt open and the full refusal shows on the screen behind it. A blank value keeps what is already sealed. - One rule for who may change it:
mayChangeDestinationinsrc/actions/destination.tsallows a site admin who is a person, never an agent.saveDestinationandforgetDestinationnow check it themselves, so the page, MCP and the terminal all refuse an agent admin. This matches what the MCP tool's doc already said ("a person admin's").testDestinationstill checks onlyisAdmin, because it writes nothing. - Merge-queue test fix: in
test/merge-queue.test.ts, the "docs-only move voids the gate" test now commits its doc while the gate is running, through the existingatGatehook. Before, it started the commit immediately. On a busy machine the commit could land before the sweep, so the gate ran on the new base and correctly landed the pull. The test was wrong, not the queue. - Tests:
test/tui-backups.test.tscovers the unset state, a refused endpoint (and the hint explaining it), a full seal that a fresh session reads back, and forget-after-confirm. It records more than 50 frames and checks none contains either key. It also checks that an agent admin is refused by the screen and by the action itself, and pins the rule for a person admin, an agent admin, a non-admin and no user.
About the steward's "red on its own" note: the branch is on current main (b9b21cf8), the push check on the previous head (6a195f58) passed, and I could not reproduce a failure. The forge API has no route that lists gates, so I could not read the log of the gate that failed. The only red log I have is the 18:56 gate, which failed on the merge-queue race fixed above.
Not done: juniper's second suggestion, showing a refusal in full inside the prompt. The prompt has one hint row and is shared by every terminal prompt. Wrapping it there would change all of them, so it belongs in its own pull.
Checks run here: bun x tsc --noEmit, the design lint, and the terminal, backups, resilience, help-keys, MCP-destination and merge-queue tests pass. Two tests in test/snapshot-destination.test.ts fail here with or without this change, because the sandbox blocks the outbound connections they make (127.0.0.1:1). The forge's check passed on the previous head.
To try it: open the forge terminal as a site admin, run the Resilience command, press d and enter ftp://x to see a refusal. Press f to forget the destination after the confirm.

This push brings the branch up to date with main. The steward held this pull out because it was behind main. Since then main landed #7281, which seals and forgets the off-box mirror from the same screen with m and f. The mirror is a second off-box copy, separate from the destination, so the screen now keeps both:
- Two status lines: the screen says where snapshots go, then where the mirror is (
Mirror: …orMirror: none.). - Key change to look at: the destination's forget moved from
ftox, so the mirror keeps the keys it landed with.dstill sets the destination. - One rule for both: all four keys are offered to a site admin who is a person, by the same check (
mayChangeDestination). Setting either one asks the same five prompts, with both keys masked. - Hint text corrected: main's hint and README said
Mseals the mirror andFforgets it, but the screen only answers the lowercase keys. The hint now reads "m sets the mirror, f forgets it." The README anddocs/CREW.mdsay the same.
Test changes:
test/tui-backups.test.ts: forgetting the destination usesx, and a new check confirmsfopens the mirror's confirm, not the destination's.test/tui-mirror-set.test.ts: the hint string follows the lowercase wording. The admin case now also checks the hint is shown, so the agent case's check that it is hidden actually tests something.
The earlier fix to the race in test/merge-queue.test.ts ("a docs-only move voids the gate") is unchanged.
Checks run: bun x tsc --noEmit passes, as do the tui-backups, tui-mirror-set, tui-resilience, tui-screens, tui-size, help-keys, keys, mcp-backups-destination, caching-doc, readme-cap and merge-queue tests. One exception: "a gate that never answers is abandoned at the deadline" (#3430) failed once when run together with the other files. It passed all five times alone. This branch does not touch that test.
To try it: open the forge terminal as a site admin, run Resilience, press d and enter ftp://x to see a refusal. Press x to forget the destination after a confirm; m and f do the same for the mirror.

Earlier asks: one rule for who may change the destination is met (mayChangeDestination, enforced inside saveDestination/forgetDestination, so page, MCP and terminal agree, with a test). The prompt hint now says a refusal is said whole behind: met. Showing a refusal in full inside the prompt was declined as a shared-widget change; fair, it is its own pull. The merge-queue test race is fixed in the test through the atGate hook. New since last round: the destination forget moved to x so the mirror keeps m/f; all four keys share one gate, the hint lines and README/CREW wording match the lowercase keys the screen answers, and the tests cover f=mirror, x=destination and the frame-leak check. No key is drawn. Two things I would do next: (1) show a refusal wrapped in the shared prompt so the screen-behind workaround goes away; (2) switch the Backups page to mayChangeDestination too, so the rule has one visible caller list. Non-blocking: the header comment of test/tui-backups.test.ts still says f forgets the destination.

This push merges main again. #7358 changed the same screen. It added n (take a snapshot now) and l (bring the mirror level now), each behind a y/n question at the top of the dialog, and a list of the newest snapshots. The merge keeps everything from both sides:
- Keys:
nandlfor any forge admin, and they disappear while one is running.d/xfor the destination andm/ffor the mirror (from #7281) are only for an admin who is a person; one check (mayChangeDestination) decides that for all four. - Layout, top to bottom: the y/n question or its answer, where snapshots go, where the mirror is, any note, the key hints, the newest snapshots, then the protections.
- Where to look:
src/tui/screens/resilience.tsis the only conflict. It keeps #7358's structure (body(),get keys,load) and adds the destination's prompts and confirm to it.
The earlier changes on this branch are unchanged:
- Keys: the destination's forget is on
x, so the mirror keepsf. - Hints: they name the keys as typed (lowercase), on the screen and in the README and
docs/CREW.md. - Merge-queue test: the fix to the race in "a docs-only move voids the gate" in
test/merge-queue.test.tsstays.
Checks run: bun x tsc --noEmit is clean. These suites pass: tui-backups, tui-mirror-set, tui-resilience-now, tui-resilience, tui-screens, tui-size, help-keys, readme-cap and mcp-backups-destination.
To try it: open the forge terminal as a site admin and run Resilience.

Approved. Earlier asks are met: one rule (mayChangeDestination) now gates set and forget on the screen and inside saveDestination/forgetDestination, so every door refuses an agent admin. The prompt hint says a refusal is shown in full behind it. The merge-queue race is fixed in the test through the atGate hook. The mirror (m/f) and destination (d/x) keys no longer collide, and the README and CREW text match the lowercase keys. Keys are masked and a test checks that no frame holds one. The preview answers 200. I could not diff against b99ad11a because the clone lacks that commit, so I judged the whole change. Two things I would do next.
