Conversation
Bridges one client WebSocket to one TCP connection on 127.0.0.1:<port>. Only ports the port scanner attributes to the requested workspace are reachable, so a workspace can forward what it started and nothing else on the host. Frames stay binary and under the relay's 1 MiB ceiling; a slow peer pauses the socket instead of growing memory. Runs behind the existing wsAuth middleware, so a stream that arrives through the relay dial-back carries the host secret like terminals do. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NxTU235jowe5cpVsG47JqW
Adds a ForwardTransport interface in the main process with one implementation, RelayForwardTransport: each accepted local TCP connection becomes one relay2 dial-back stream to host-service's /tcp/<port>. The interface leaves room for Direct (Tailscale, VPN, LAN) and SSH transports without touching the manager or the UI. PortForwardManager owns the local listeners. sync() is the single entry point: it stops forwards outside the requested set and starts the missing ones on the same port number. A taken local port reports busy with the owning process when Superset started it; the desktop never remaps on its own. Listeners are dropped on before-quit. Exposed to the renderer as the portForwards tRPC router. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01NxTU235jowe5cpVsG47JqW
Selecting a v2 workspace on a remote host forwards each of its detected ports to the same local port; leaving it stops them. Port rows show the state (forwarded, mapped to another port, busy, error). A busy row offers "Stop local <process>" when Superset owns the local process, and "Use another port" otherwise. The renderer pushes the relay JWT to the main process from setJwt, since main has no auth client of its own. RemotePortForwarder reads the live pathname itself; the layout's fuzzy matchRoute keeps its previous value after leaving the workspace route. Docs updated; ExecPlan moved to plans/done with outcomes.

In `@apps/desktop/src/main/lib/port-forward/port-forward-manager.ts`:
- Around line 237-244: Update the port-forward connection lifecycle around
openStream and the status handling in port-forward-manager so a later successful
relay stream restores the aggregate forward to active after an earlier socket
failure. Keep listener state independent from individual socket errors, and
ensure sync does not leave an otherwise healthy forward permanently in error.
- Around line 130-140: Update the pending-start flow around the transport probe
and listen call to verify this.entries.get(id) === entry after probe resolves;
return without calling listen when the entry was removed by stop or stopAll,
while preserving the existing error handling.
- Around line 67-74: Update PortForwardManager.sync and the stop/cleanup flow so
listener shutdown is awaitable: collect and await each server.close completion
before starting replacement forwards, ensuring old listeners are fully released
before start binds new ones. Preserve existing entry tracking and add a
regression test covering a same-port workspace switch.
In `@apps/desktop/src/main/lib/port-forward/relay-forward-transport.ts`:
- Around line 39-43: Add a bounded AbortController-based timeout to
RelayForwardTransport.checkProtocol, applying the signal to the /health fetch
and ensuring the response body read is also cancelled when the timeout expires.
Use APIs compatible with Electron 41.10.3, clear the timer after completion, and
preserve the existing health-status validation and error behavior.
In

Await removed listeners before binding replacement forwards.
When sync replaces an entry, stop calls server.close() without awaiting completion. sync can then bind the replacement listener while the old listener is still closing, causing EADDRINUSE. The replacement remains busy because later sync calls skip existing entries. Make listener shutdown awaitable and complete it before starting replacement forwards. Add a same-port workspace-switch test.

Electron 41.10.3 bundled Node.js Chromium versions and AbortSignal.timeout support
💡 Result:
Electron version 41.10.3 was released on July 21, 2026 [1]. As an Electron release in the 41.x series, it is based on a specific version of Chromium and Node.js. According to the internal configuration files for this release, it includes Node.js v24.18.0 [2]. Regarding AbortSignal.timeout support, Electron inherits the web API capabilities of the underlying Chromium version. The AbortSignal.timeout static method was introduced in Chromium 124 [3]. As Electron 41 corresponds to a much later version of Chromium (well beyond version 124), it natively supports the AbortSignal.timeout API for web operations such as fetch [4][3]. This version was primarily a patch release addressing specific fixes, including an issue with app.disableHardwareAcceleration on Windows, unnecessary autofill popup behavior on macOS, and backported security and stability fixes from upstream Chromium and V8 [5][1][6]. Additionally, it was identified as a patched version for the vulnerability CVE-2026-70608 [7].

Add a bounded timeout to the relay health check.
If the /health fetch or response body never completes, RelayForwardTransport.probe caches the pending promise by origin. PortForwardManager.start awaits that promise before opening the listener, so new forwards can remain in the initial Starting state and sync can remain pending. Use an AbortController timeout compatible with Electron 41.10.3.

Clear forwards when RemotePortForwarder unmounts.
The effect cleanup only cancels the debounce timer. If the dashboard layout unmounts while forwards are active, no empty sync mutation reaches the process-global PortForwardManager, so its listeners remain active. Add a separate unmount cleanup that calls mutate({ hostUrl: "", workspaceId: "", ports: [] }) without debounce.

Node.js 22 net.Socket.write writableLength backpressure documentation additional writes buffered
💡 Result:
In Node.js 22, the net.Socket.write method provides a mechanism for managing data flow through backpressure [1][2]. When you call socket.write(data), it attempts to flush the data directly to the kernel buffer [1][3]. If the data is flushed successfully to the kernel, the method returns true [1][4]. However, if the kernel buffer cannot accept all or part of the data, Node.js queues the remaining data in user memory and returns false [1][5][3]. This returned value is advisory [6]. You are not strictly prevented from performing additional writes even after the method returns false; Node.js will continue to buffer these additional writes in memory [1][6]. However, continuing to write when false is returned is generally discouraged because it can lead to rapidly increasing memory usage, poor garbage collector performance, and eventually, the process may hit memory limits and crash [1][2][6]. The property writable.writableLength allows you to monitor how much data is currently buffered in this queue (as an approximation) [1][7]. To properly manage backpressure: 1. When socket.write returns false, stop writing further data [2][6]. 2. Wait for the 'drain' event to be emitted, which signals that the internal buffer has been emptied and it is safe to resume writing [1][2][6]. By following this pattern, you ensure that your application respects the capacity of the underlying network connection and avoids uncontrolled memory growth [1][8].

Bound the active TCP write queue.
After connect, each onMessage call writes directly to the net.Socket without handling backpressure or limiting socket.writableLength. If the upstream stops reading, Node can queue subsequent writes in user memory until the process becomes unstable. Enforce a byte limit and close the WebSocket with 1013, or pause inbound delivery until the socket emits drain. Add a stalled-upstream regression test.

Hey guys! I got very excited about superset with your remote workspaces feature. For whatever reason this hasn't been developed towards quickly enough by the startups in this space IMO. I really wish you supported automatic port forwarding, but excited you have this listed in the docs and roadmap. To me this is a really important to validate features/get a feel for them before merging a PR, so it is key for my workflow. This PR is a rough implementation, but could be a good POC for testing out the Raw TCP tunnel approach for this feature. Sidenote 1: remote workspaces feature has slow keyboard input. SSH is pretty snappy (client renders inputs immediately I guess), but I assume this is something that could be replicated?. Sidenote 2: there seems to be some kind of performance issue when creating new workspaces randomly, my pretty new macbook pro turned up the fans quite loud, not sure if it is a dev only thing. |
…ver one relay stream Proposal on top of the per-connection design: keep the manager, the busy-port UX, the ownership rule, and the ForwardTransport seam exactly as the PR built them, but carry every forwarded TCP connection as a numbered stream inside one WebSocket per (host, workspace) instead of one relay dial-back each. The wire protocol ships once — hosts update slowly, so the per-connection framing would have had to be supported long after we replaced it, which is why this lands as a reshape of the branch rather than a follow-up. Framing lives in @superset/shared/port-forward-mux: OPEN/OPENED/OPEN_FAIL/ DATA/EOF/CLOSE/WINDOW plus session HELLO/PING/PONG, 256 KiB frames, per-stream 1 MiB credit windows (credits issued only as bytes drain into the local socket, so TCP backpressure propagates end to end and per-stream in-flight is bounded — the relay-side memory hazard goes away with it). The relay needs no changes and its single-use dial tickets keep their existing lifetime: the mux stream is spliced verbatim like a terminal's. Host: /tcp/:port is replaced by /fwd?workspaceId= behind the same wsAuth; ownership is checked per OPEN against the same portManager attribution, so a port that appears mid-session forwards without a reconnect. Desktop: RelayForwardTransport opens the session lazily and probe() warms it, so a host without forwarding support errors the row at sync time with "update the host-service" instead of failing the first click. Also fixed in the manager, with regression tests: a sync landing during the probe no longer orphans a bound listener; a transient stream failure no longer wedges an active forward in error (next success restores it); and each window now has its own wanted set with union reconcile, so two windows stop tearing down each other's forwards — a window's set is released when its subscription closes, which also stops forwards leaking after the dashboard unmounts. The ports-provider gate now requires the selected workspace to be remote, so a local selection no longer switches on cross-host port polling. Measured end to end through production relay2 against a Linux host running this branch's bundle: cold session dial 991 ms paid once per workspace; warm stream open p50 166 ms (vs ~1 s per connection before); single-stream throughput 5–8.9 MB/s (the prior 1.9 MB/s was per-frame overhead — coalescing lifted it); 26.5 MB/s aggregate across 4 streams; and echo RTT while a forward pushed 82 MB through the same host DO held at p50 73 ms / p95 175 ms, i.e. terminals do not degrade under a saturated forward.

Hey @Ymirke — really solid PR. The transport seam, the ownership rule, and the no-silent-remap UX all held up under close review, and they're all still here. We pushed one commit on top as a proposal: 3b31008. If you disagree with the direction, push back — it's structured to be easy to drop. What it changes: the host leg. Why reshape before merge: wire protocols ship once.

Does bun:test expect().rejects.toThrow require await to assert
💡 Result:
Yes, when using bun:test, you must await the expect.rejects.toThrow call (or return the promise) to correctly assert that an asynchronous operation throws an error [1][2][3]. Because expect returns a promise when using the.rejects matcher, failing to await it will cause the test to finish before the assertion completes, potentially leading to false positives (where the test passes even if the error was not thrown) [4][2]. The standard practice is to use the following syntax [1][3]: await expect(async => { await yourAsyncFunction; }).rejects.toThrow("Error message"); Alternatively, you can pass a function that returns a promise directly to expect [5]: await expect(yourAsyncFunction).rejects.toThrow; If you are inside a test block, ensure the test function itself is marked as async [1][3].

ws npm library unexpected-response event does the socket stay open if the listener does not destroy the request
💡 Result:
In the ws npm library, the behavior of the underlying socket when the unexpected-response event is emitted depends on how the event is handled and the configuration of the HTTP agent being used [1]. If you do not have a listener for the unexpected-response event, the ws library handles the failure by automatically aborting the request and finalizing the connection with an error [2]. If you do provide a listener for this event, you take responsibility for the response stream [1][3]. Whether the socket stays open depends on several factors [1]: 1. HTTP Agent usage: If you are using a keep-alive agent, it is often better to keep the socket open so it can be reused for subsequent requests [1]. 2. Manual closure: If you are not using a keep-alive agent (the default behavior), you must generally close the socket manually if you want to ensure it is terminated [1]. 3. Response headers: If the server sends a Connection: close header, the socket may be closed automatically by the underlying Node.js HTTP machinery regardless of your listener's actions [1]. 4. Reading the body: If you read the response body but do not manually close or destroy the socket, it may remain open, potentially leading to resource leaks if not managed correctly [1]. It is widely recommended to explicitly handle the lifecycle of the request/socket (e.g., calling request.destroy or ws.terminate) within your unexpected-response listener if you intend to ensure the connection is closed [1][4].

ws 8.21.3 websocket.js unexpected-response req res abort request socket source
💡 Result:
In the ws library (version 8.21.3), the unexpected-response event is triggered when the client receives an HTTP response that is not the expected 101 Switching Protocols status during the WebSocket handshake [1][2]. When the library receives a response, it checks if there is a listener for the unexpected-response event [2]. The mechanics are as follows: 1. Event Emission: If a listener for unexpected-response is registered, the library emits this event, passing the http.ClientRequest and http.IncomingMessage objects to your handler [1]. This allows you to inspect the status code, headers, and read the response body manually [3][4]. 2. Default Behavior (Abort): If no unexpected-response listener is registered, the library proceeds to the default error-handling path [1][2]. It calls req.abort() to terminate the request and emits an error event with an Error object like "unexpected server response (XXX)" [2]. 3. Socket Handling: If you handle the unexpected-response event, you are responsible for managing the socket [3]. If you do not close or destroy the socket, it may remain open, which could lead to resource leaks depending on your environment (e.g., if you are not using a keep-alive agent that manages socket reuse) [3]. In summary, the unexpected-response event acts as a hook to intercept handshake failures, allowing custom processing of non-101 responses before the library performs its default abort() action [1][2].

Destroy the session when the WebSocket upgrade fails.
MuxSession rejects ready on unexpected-response, but it does not close the response/request or call destroySession. Because ws delegates response handling to this listener, the request can remain open. dead also remains false, so RelayForwardTransport.session() can reuse the failed session. Destroy the request and session in this branch. Keep the error listener attached for the session lifetime.

The open timeout leaks the host-side stream.
On timeout the session deletes its local record and never sends CLOSE. The host drops a stream only on CLOSE, on upstream close, or on session teardown, so its StreamState and upstream socket stay for the life of the session. Repeated timeouts consume the 128-stream budget.

Document the actual forwarding prerequisites.
Both pages require host-service 1.25, but the repository declares @superset/host-service as 1.24.2 and registers /fwd in that package. Use the deployed version or update the package and documentation together.
State that forwarding also requires relay protocol v2 (relay2). The desktop rejects relays whose /health response does not report proto: 2.

Teardown is not ordered after flow-controlled data, so a forwarded stream can truncate on both ends. EOF and CLOSE are control frames and are exempt from flow control, but both endpoints act on them while data is still buffered. Fix both sides together; either one alone still truncates when the connection carries more than one window.

Vite 8's default `localhost` bind can resolve to the v6 loopback only, and a hardcoded 127.0.0.1 dial gets ECONNREFUSED on a port the scanner correctly attributed — hit on the first real dev server we forwarded. The mux route now connects to the address the scanner saw; wildcard binds (`*`, 0.0.0.0, `::`) still map to 127.0.0.1. Docs gain a note on what the remote server sees (loopback client address, TCP only). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01KULRerZzybjtLsoUuMow3q

Accumulate the complete TCP response before asserting its contents. roundTrip resolves on the first "data" event, while PortForwardManager forwards a TCP byte stream. TCP can split the echo response across chunks, so assertions can receive partial data and fail intermittently. Accumulate chunks until the expected byte length is received.

| The ports sidebar shows ports listening **on the remote host**. They aren't forwarded to your machine yet, so `localhost:PORT` only works on the host itself. Forwarding is on the roadmap; until then, [forward a port yourself](/ports#forward-a-port-yourself) with SSH or Tailscale. | ||
| The ports sidebar shows ports listening **on the remote host**. When you select a remote workspace, the desktop app forwards each of its ports to the same port number on your machine, so `localhost:3000` reaches the dev server on the host. All traffic for a workspace shares one tunnel: the first connection after selecting the workspace sets it up, and connections after that reuse it. When you select another workspace, the app stops those forwards and starts the new workspace's forwards. |

Describe tunnel setup at workspace synchronization.
RelayForwardTransport.probe establishes the mux session before openStream runs. The first forwarded connection opens a stream on that existing session. The current sentence says that the first connection sets up the tunnel. Update it to match the implementation.
Proposed wording
- All traffic for a workspace shares one tunnel: the first connection after selecting the workspace sets it up, and connections after that reuse it.
+ All traffic for a workspace shares one tunnel: the app establishes it while probing the selected workspace, and forwarded connections reuse it.📝 Committable suggestion

| Shipped in PR 1: the `ForwardTransport` interface with the relay implementation, the host-service `/tcp/:port` route gated on port ownership, automatic forwarding for the selected workspace, the busy-port choice (stop the local process or use another port), and the docs. Verified end to end against a real remote host (`gradfero`) through relay2: a page served on the host loaded at `localhost:<port>` on the Mac, forwards followed workspace selection, and unowned ports were refused. |

localhost:<port>on the user's machine. Selecting the workspace starts the forwards; leaving it stops them.Why / Context
The ports sidebar already detects ports on a remote host, but
localhost:PORTon the desktop pointed at nothing; users had to open an SSH tunnel or a Tailscale route by hand. The docs called forwarding a roadmap item. This is a first, self-contained version of it: relay transport only, desktop only.How It Works
/tcp/:portWebSocket route (packages/host-service/src/ports/tcp-forward-route.ts) behind the existingwsAuth. It checksportManager.getPortsByWorkspace(workspaceId)and then splices bytes tonet.connect(127.0.0.1, port). Frames are binary and under the relay's 1 MiB limit; a slow peer pauses the socket./hosts/:hostId/*WebSocket to the host verbatim through the per-stream dial-back.ForwardTransportinterface with one implementation,RelayForwardTransport(apps/desktop/src/main/lib/port-forward/).PortForwardManager.sync()is the single entry point: it stops forwards outside the requested set and starts the missing ones on the same port number. Each accepted local TCP connection becomes one relay stream.
