runSshCommand applied Effect.timeoutOption outside the scoped effect that collected stdout/stderr, so when the budget expired, interruption threw away the collected output and the onNone branch built an SshCommandError with stderr '' and no stdout. Now runSshCommand owns a { stdout, stderr } buffer and passes it to runSshCommandInScope. collectProcessOutput appends each decoded chunk to it with Stream.runForEach instead of folding into a local value. The timeout branch reads the buffer: stdout goes through the existing redactSshErrorOutput (credential redaction plus the 4000-char bound, honouring keepErrorOutputTail), and stderr is passed through unchanged, matching the non-zero-exit branch. Both go into the ssh.command.timedOut warning and the SshCommandError. Successful and non-zero-exit commands behave as before. No new regex or parser was added.

Fixes #35580

Reproduction on main

On origin/main cf82fb8, after vp i, ran the reporter's repro.sh: a fake ssh first on PATH writes 'PROGRESS: downloading archive' plus a JSON credential line to stdout and 'REMOTE: waiting for archive extraction' to stderr, then hangs, exits 1, exits 1 with stdout only, or exits 0. A temporary test calls runSshCommand with keepErrorOutputTail: true and timeoutMs: 1000 through the native spawner. Observed: the hang case returned {message: 'SSH command timed out after 1000ms.', exitCode: null, stderr: '', stdout: undefined}, and the ssh.command.timedOut warning held only alias/hostname/timeoutMs/remoteCommandArgs/preHostArgs/hasStdin. The fail case kept stdout with the credential redacted and kept stderr in both the error and the ssh.command.failed warning. All fixture processes were reaped. Then added a test to packages/ssh/src/command.test.ts: a fake process emits both streams and never exits, TestClock advances 1s, and the test expects the timeout error to carry the redacted stdout and the stderr. It fails on main with stdout undefined.

Evidence

Run the production SSH command with a synthetic executable that emits progress, a JSON credential, and a stderr diagnostic before hanging. Use a 1000ms timeout and keepErrorOutputTail:true; capture the warning and returned error. Repeat non-zero, stdout-only failure, and success controls. Linux native subprocess execution; identical terminal settings and synthetic inputs on both sides.

Reproduction and recording scripts · Native command driver

All fixture processes were reaped. Both still pairs were identical 500ms apart. AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

• Real SSH transport and complete desktop/mobile connection flows were not exercised; this reproduction uses the reporter's synthetic ssh executable through the production native spawner.
• The full 15-minute remote launch budget was not exercised; the same timeout path was driven with a 1000ms budget.
• Output exceeding the 4000-character truncation threshold was not exercised; captures demonstrate short-output retention and credential redaction.

Tests

vp test run src/command.test.ts in packages/ssh: the repro test failed before the fix (stdout undefined), and all 13 pass after. vp test run src/ in packages/ssh: 47/48 pass. The one failure, tunnel.test.ts 'concurrent launches on one remote home record the server that owns it', also fails on the base commit without the fix: it hits the 5000ms default timeout on this VM (about 6.3s runtime). vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (5 packages) and tests (2 files) all pass.

Not in this change

• The timeout error keeps command: ["ssh"] instead of the full argument list that the other error paths report.
• stderr is not redacted or length-bounded on either the non-zero-exit path or the timeout path; only stdout is redacted.
• tunnel.test.ts 'concurrent launches on one remote home record the server that owns it' takes about 6.3s on this VM and fails the 5s default test timeout, with or without this change.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Timed-out SSH commands now retain their partial output in warnings and errors. The unresolved finding identifies incomplete credential values escaping redaction, creating a secret-disclosure risk that needs resolution.

Walkthrough

SSH command output is accumulated while commands run. If a command times out, its warning and error include the output captured before the timeout, with stdout redacted and truncated.

Changes: SSH Timeout Output

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Accumulate command output packages/ssh/src/command.ts	Stdout and stderr are appended to a shared accumulator as chunks arrive. Completed commands read their output from this accumulator.
Include output in timeout diagnostics packages/ssh/src/command.ts, packages/ssh/src/command.test.ts	Timeout warnings and errors include captured stdout and stderr. Stdout follows the existing redaction and truncation rules. The new test checks the captured output and null exit code.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

When an SSH command times out, the new diagnostics can write unredacted stderr, or a partially cut-off credential from stdout, into logs and error objects. Redact and bound stderr, and handle credential values cut off at the end of the output, before merging.

Explanation

The title names the main change: timed-out SSH commands now keep the stdout and stderr they printed before the timeout. It uses the conventional commit format and matches the PR objectives and the described code change.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#35580] Requirements, checked against the whole-PR diff (merge base cf82fb8 to head 218730a877):

1. Preserve stdout and stderr emitted before timeout, in SshCommandError and ssh.command.timedOut. Implemented. runSshCommand now owns a shared SshCommandOutput buffer. collectProcessOutput appends each decoded chunk with Stream.runForEach, so the buffer holds partial output when Effect.timeoutOption interrupts the scoped effect. The onNone branch passes stdout and stderr to both the warning and the SshCommandError.
2. Same credential redaction and output-length bounds as failed commands. Implemented for stdout. The timeout branch calls redactSshErrorOutput(output.stdout, input.keepErrorOutputTail), the same helper the non-zero-exit branch uses. Stderr passes through unchanged, which matches the non-zero-exit branch.
3. Retain timeout message and exitCode: null. Implemented. The message and exitCode: null are unchanged.
4. Keep non-zero-exit and successful behavior. The diff reads stdout and stderr from the same buffer after Effect.all completes. Result values are unchanged.
5. Reap timed-out subprocesses. The scope and child process handling are unchanged in the diff. No change weakens reaping.
   Test: command.test.ts adds 'keeps redacted output the command emitted before timing out'. It uses a fake process that emits both streams and never exits, advances TestClock by 1 second, and asserts exitCode null, redacted stdout, and stderr. This covers the reported defect.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changed hunks map to #35580. command.ts changes the output accumulation, the timeout warning fields, and the SshCommandError fields. command.test.ts adds one regression test and its imports (Fiber, TestClock). No unrelated files appear in the diff. The PR description's 'Not in this change' items (command field, stderr redaction/bounds, tunnel.test.ts timeout) are excluded from this diff. The tunnel test failure is a pre-existing timing issue outside this change. The 'Evidence' section is a pending documentation placeholder and not a code change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has a Problem section that explains the lost timeout output, a Change section that describes the buffer and redaction handling, and a Scope section that links issue #35580 as the bug report. The Verification section gives specific tests with observed results (repro failed with stdout undefined before the fix, 13/13 pass after) and lists what was not checked. The template's AI-model attribution line is covered by the 'AI-assisted' note, though it does not name the model and harness. Screenshots and recordings are provided for the UI-free bug through before/after evidence. Minor gaps: the title is not shown in the description, and the 'Scope' section does not explicitly say why the fix is a bug fix rather than a feature, though the linked issue makes this clear.

Redact credential values that are incomplete at timeout.

If stdout ends with {"credential":"pairing-secret when the timeout occurs, redactSshErrorOutput returns the secret unchanged. Its expression at Line 152 requires a closing quote. The new timeout path then includes that secret in both the warning and SshCommandError.

Handle an unterminated credential value before publishing partial stdout. Extend the timeout test with an output prefix that stops inside a credential value. Verify that neither diagnostic exposes the value.

Redact and bound stderr in the timeout diagnostics, as stdout already is.

The timeout handler in runSshCommand passes raw stderr to the ssh.command.timedOut warning and to SshCommandError.stderr. Stdout goes through redactSshErrorOutput. Stderr does not. A command that prints JSON credential fields to stderr before it times out exposes those values in the log. Stderr can also grow large while the command runs. Apply the same helper to stderr so both timeout attributes stay bounded and redacted. The stderr text stays in the error, so the diagnostic is still preserved.
