mosh-server executes the remote command argv with execvp and no shell, so a single '/bin/sh -c ...' string is treated as a literal pathname. Also pin the address fallback to Mosh proxy resolution and validate only the SSH_CONNECTION fields Mosh actually parses. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…xy fallback mosh-server executes the received command with execvp and no shell, so the staged launcher must be ['/bin/sh', '-c', script] instead of one '/bin/sh -c ...' string that execvp treats as a literal pathname. The OpenSSH string form is unchanged. When SSH_CONNECTION is unusable, fall back to Mosh's SSH-proxy address resolution instead of local mode: local mode resolves the destination via DNS and breaks SSH-config-only aliases such as port-forwarded Coder workspaces. Validate only the SSH_CONNECTION shape Mosh actually parses (four fields, numeric ports, usable server address, now including loopback rejection), not the unused peer address.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds configurable Mosh IP modes, POSIX shell execution for remote bootstrap commands, SSH address validation with proxy fallback, localized diagnostics, restore integration, and expanded tests and documentation. ChangesMosh remote startup
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The change fixes Mosh bootstrap execution, stage-specific errors, and proxy address fallback. It is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up for the bounded risks that explicit local/proxy modes may not be honored in production construction paths, translations may exceed the supported-locale policy, and one regression test does not verify aggregate bootstrap payload absence.

- Around line 15-24: Propagate the configured Mosh IP mode through both
production construction paths in MoshTerminalCommandBuilder, including the
constructors used by cmux mosh, cmux mosh-tmux, and restored workspaces. Pass
the parsed or persisted mode into remoteIPMode instead of relying on its
default; retain .remote only when no mode is configured.

cli.ssh.mosh.bootstrapInstallFailed and cli.ssh.mosh.addressFallback to the
supported en and ja entries only. Remove all other locale blocks from both keys,
without changing their translation values or adding localization-policy changes.

- Drop MoshRemoteIPMode's unused cliValue initializer and Codable conformance: no CLI flag or persisted setting selects an IP mode, so the speculative API only implied a configuration surface that does not exist. Production always starts from .remote with the automatic proxy fallback. - Make the fish login-shell tests report an explicit skip via .enabled(if:) instead of silently passing when fish is absent.

74-75: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winAssert the complete bootstrap payload is absent from SSH arguments.
The test limits each argument to 4,096 bytes, but it does not limit the aggregate argument payload. A large bootstrap could be split across multiple short arguments and still pass this assertion. Add an assertion that a unique bootstrap marker is absent from the joined arguments, or assert the aggregate argument size required by the staging contract.

mosh-server-missing, bootstrap-install-failed (with the installer's stderr), and probe-failed stages, each with its own localized message, instead of collapsing everything into the probe-failed message./bin/sh -c '…'string. Mosh forwards command argv tomosh-server, which runs it withexecvpand no shell, so it tried to execute a pathname literally named/bin/sh -c '…'and the transport died right after connecting. The launcher is now real argv (["/bin/sh", "-c", …]) for Mosh, while the OpenSSH string form is unchanged.SSH_CONNECTIONused to force--experimental-remote-ip=local, which resolves the destination via DNS and breaks SSH-config-only aliases (the issue's port-forwarded Coder workspace). The fallback is now Mosh's SSH-proxy resolution, loopback server addresses (what a port-forwarded sshd advertises) also trigger it, and validation only checks theSSH_CONNECTIONshape Mosh actually parses (four fields, numeric ports, usable server address) instead of rejecting on the unused peer field.Regression coverage

Fixes Mosh bootstrap staging and address resolution. Old behavior: a single probe error, the staged launcher passed to
mosh-serveras one "/bin/sh -c …" string (immediate exit), and unusableSSH_CONNECTIONforced local DNS resolution, breaking SSH-config-only aliases. New behavior: stage-specific errors, the launcher passed as real argv, remote commands forced through POSIX sh, and automatic fallback to Mosh’s SSH-proxy address resolution with a user message when the SSH-advertised address is unusable.MoshTerminalCommandBuilder: adds a lightweight SSH-side probe to readSSH_CONNECTION; starts in remote mode and auto-falls back to proxy mode when the advertised server address is empty/invalid/loopback or the probe fails; prints stage-specific messages including bootstrap-install failure and address-fallback selection.RemoteBootstrapStagingCommandBuilder/RemoteExecutableCommandBuilder: remote installers and executors always run under "/bin/sh -c" to avoid fish/csh parsing; installer stderr is captured and surfaced on failure; remote execution argv is ["//bin/sh","-c",script] so it survivesmosh-server’sexecvp.CodablefromMoshRemoteIPMode(production always starts at.remotewith automatic proxy fallback). Tests pin execvp argv, fish login shells, and address-fallback edge cases.Migration
CmuxFoundation:MoshTerminalCommandBuildernow requires two new message strings:remoteBootstrapInstallFailedMessageandremoteMoshAddressFallbackMessage.remoteIPModeremains optional (defaults to.remote).Written for commit 84f676a. Summary will update on new commits.
