Part of #1262 (Part 1): ssh-agent auth on Linux, macOS (DMG) and Windows (named pipe, via sbm_ffi).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • SSH connections can now authenticate with an SSH agent, alongside configured passwords, keys, or keyboard-interactive authentication.
    • Configure agent use and an optional agent path in server settings. SSH configuration supports IdentityAgent, including environment variables and standard token expansion.
    • Agent support is available on Linux, Windows, and macOS DMG builds; Windows supports the OpenSSH named pipe.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Agent connection issues now provide clearer feedback, with other configured authentication methods available as fallback.
  • Documentation
    • Added SSH agent setup details to bulk-import documentation.

Walkthrough

This change adds SSH-agent configuration and authentication support. It stores the selected agent with server credentials, adds Windows named-pipe transport through a Rust bridge, and adds server-editor controls, localized messages, documentation, and tests.

Changes: SSH Agent Support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identity-agent configuration and persistence
lib/core/ssh/config.dart, lib/data/model/server/ssh_credential.dart, lib/data/store/..., test/migration/*, test/unit/ssh/ssh_config_test.dart
IdentityAgent values are expanded and parsed into SshCredential.identityAgent. The server schema adds nullable ssh_identity_agent, and server storage reads and writes the value. Tests cover migration and serialization round trips.
Windows named-pipe transport and bridge
crates/sbm_ffi/src/api/*, crates/sbm_ffi/src/frb_generated.rs, lib/src/rust/api/agent_pipe.dart, lib/src/rust/frb_generated.*.dart, test/unit/ssh/ssh_agent_test.dart
Adds AgentPipe connect, read, write, and close operations, exposes them through generated bridge bindings, and adds Windows transport tests.
Agent connection and SSH authentication
lib/core/ssh/agent.dart, lib/core/ssh/client.dart, lib/data/model/app/error.dart, packages/dartssh2, test/unit/ssh/ssh_agent_test.dart
Adds platform-specific agent connection setup and a PipeSocket adapter. SSH clients use agent keys as signers and apply password or key fallback behavior when agent setup or key loading fails.
Editor controls and supporting coverage
lib/view/page/server/edit/*, lib/l10n/*.arb, docs/src/content/docs/..., test/widget/server_edit_logic_test.dart
Adds an SSH-agent switch and identity-agent path field to the server editor. Save and load actions resolve the auth-socket default, and localized messages and bulk-import documentation describe the setting.

Major · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Preserve agent fallback when a stored key cannot be parsed.

When key resolution succeeds but identitiesOf(openedKeys) rejects the stored material, this catch throws even when agentKeys contains usable signers. The connection fails before those signers reach SSHClient. The new fallback handles resolution errors, but not this parsing error.

When agent keys are available, continue with the agent-backed client instead of throwing noPrivateKey.

Review comments at @crates/sbm_ffi/src/api/agent_pipe.rs:
- Line 108: Update the write path containing writer.write_all to check whether
the pipe is closed before starting I/O and to observe the close notification
while a write is pending, so close cancels the write and can acquire the writer
mutex. Add coverage with a connected server that does not read, verifying that a
pending write is interrupted and close() finishes within a timeout.

Review comments at @docs/src/content/docs/advanced/bulk-import.md:
- Line 77: Update the identityAgent documentation in both the English and
Chinese bulk-import guides to state that omitting identityAgent disables agent
use, and that enabling the default Windows agent requires setting identityAgent
to SSH_AUTH_SOCK while SSH_AUTH_SOCK is unset or empty.

Review comments at @lib/core/ssh/config.dart:
- Line 67: Update the token map in the IdentityAgent path expansion to support
`%i` by resolving it to the local numeric UID, so valid agent paths are not left
unresolved. Add an expansion test for a path containing `%i` and verify it uses
the local UID.
- Line 301: Update the `hasOtherAuth` check in the SSH authentication setup to
count a non-null `onKeyboardInteractive` handler alongside stored passwords and
key references, so the default agent failure does not abort before
keyboard-interactive authentication can be attempted.

Review comments at @test/migration/m039_ssh_identity_agent_test.dart:
- Around line 26-27: Update the migration input setup in this regression test to
load a permanent fixture containing database bytes written by the previous
release, rather than deriving the old schema from freshServerDdl() via
serverDdlBeforeIdentityAgent. Keep the fresh-schema comparison so the test
verifies both migration behavior and the resulting schema.

The comment's premise is incorrect. AgentPipe::read does not hold a lock that write or close needs. read locks only reader, while write locks only writer (crates/sbm_ffi/src/api/agent_pipe.rs:81, :106). close wakes a pending read before it takes any lock (:122-123). The read's select! then returns Ok(None) and drops the reader guard (:96), so close can acquire reader (:127). The close_ends_a_waiting_read test (:161-185) exercises this path.

The Dart adapter in lib/core/ssh/agent.dart:109-118 adds no lock, so the Dart call order does not create the claimed blocking.

Whether openSshAgent can block indefinitely depends on SSHAgentClient.identities() in the empty packages/dartssh2 submodule. The visible timeout at lib/core/ssh/agent.dart:65-76 bounds only connection setup. The identities request at line 78 has no bound in this file. The submodule that would show whether identities() has its own timeout is not available in the checkout, so the claim cannot be decided.

Specify how to enable the default Windows agent.

“Unset is” can tell users to omit this optional field. However, openSshAgent returns immediately when identityAgent is null. The Windows pipe fallback requires "identityAgent": "SSH_AUTH_SOCK" and an unset or empty SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable.

State that requirement explicitly. Also state that omitting identityAgent disables agent use. Apply the same clarification to Line 67 of docs/src/content/docs/zh/advanced/bulk-import.md.

Support the local UID token in agent paths.

OpenSSH permits %i in IdentityAgent and defines it as the local numeric UID. A configuration such as IdentityAgent /run/user/%i/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh therefore names a valid agent path. (man.openbsd.org)

This map has no i entry. The replacement callback marks the path unresolved and returns null, so the configured agent is never opened. Add local UID expansion and cover this path in the expansion tests.

Count keyboard-interactive as another method before the default agent can fail.

An imported host without IdentityAgent uses SSH_AUTH_SOCK by default. On non-Windows platforms, an unset variable makes the agent path null. openSshAgent then throws, because hasOtherAuth counts only stored passwords and key references. A passwordless host that authenticates through keyboard-interactive, such as PAM or OTP, fails before the server can request those prompts.

Count the keyboard-interactive handler as another available method:

Suggested fix

-    hasOtherAuth: ssh.pwd?.isNotEmpty == true || ssh.keyRefs.isNotEmpty,
+    hasOtherAuth:
+        ssh.pwd?.isNotEmpty == true ||
+        ssh.keyRefs.isNotEmpty ||
+        onKeyboardInteractive != null,

When the handler is set but the server never requests keyboard-interactive, the agent error is logged as a warning. The user then sees a generic authentication failure instead of the agent error.

Use previous-release data for the migration regression test.

This constructs “v39” from today's schema. The removal assertion proves only that one column exists. It does not prove that the remaining schema matches v39. Changes to other columns can therefore change both the migration input and its expected result together.

Keep the fresh-schema comparison, but load the migration input from a permanent fixture written by the previous release.

As per coding guidelines: “A storage migration keeps a permanent regression test, fed by bytes the release being migrated from actually wrote.”

Review comment at @test/migration/m039_ssh_identity_agent_test.dart around lines 26 - 27:
Update the migration input setup in this regression test to load a permanent fixture containing database bytes written by the previous release, rather than deriving the old schema from freshServerDdl() via serverDdlBeforeIdentityAgent. Keep the fresh-schema comparison so the test verifies both migration behavior and the resulting schema.

Import names before using them.

Replace std::sync::Arc::new with Arc::new and add the corresponding use. Apply the same rule to the new qualified Tokio calls.

As per coding guidelines: “Names come in through use, never as long paths inline.”

Update the code around AgentPipe::connect to import Arc and use Arc::new instead of the fully qualified path; apply the same import-and-short-name style to any newly added qualified Tokio calls, preserving their existing behavior.

The bulk import does not drop identityAgent.

_onBulkImportServers builds each server with Spi.fromJson. That call passes the nested ssh object to SshCredential.fromJson, and the handler stores the result without rebuilding the SSH credential. The import path therefore keeps any identityAgent value present in the JSON.

Include keyboard-interactive in the key-failure fallbacks.

hasOtherAuth treats onKeyboardInteractive as another way in. The fallback guards in _clientWith do not. For a host with only keyboard-interactive configured, a key that cannot be resolved now fails instead of reaching the password client, which already wires the handler. Before this change, that resolution failure fell back to the password client unconditionally. The parse-failure and empty-key paths still throw SSHErrType.noPrivateKey for this configuration.

Suggested fix

-      if (ssh.pwd?.isNotEmpty != true && agentKeys.isEmpty) rethrow;

+          onKeyboardInteractive == null) {
+        rethrow;
+      }

Add a regression test that combines an unavailable agent, an invalid stored key, and a keyboard-interactive handler with no password.
