By name: cmux-shared-behavior description: "Shared behavior and mutation-path rules for cmux. Use when a behavior is exposed through multiple entrypoints such as keyboard shortcuts, command palette, context menu, CLI, settings, debug menu, optimistic UI, or tests that previously missed a bug."
cmux Shared Behavior
Use one shared action/model path when behavior is exposed through multiple entrypoints.
Shared entrypoints
When a behavior is exposed through multiple surfaces, implement one shared action/model path and verify every entrypoint that should invoke it.
Common entrypoints include:
- keyboard shortcut
- command palette
- context menu
- CLI/socket command
- settings UI
- debug menu
Do not patch one surface while leaving the others with duplicated logic.
Optimistic updates
For optimistic UI or CLI updates:
- keep one mutation path
- record pending state with a request id or previous snapshot
- reconcile from the authoritative result
- handle failure with an explicit rollback or error state
Do not let each entrypoint maintain its own optimistic copy.
Missed-bug coverage
When a user says tests missed a bug, add or adjust behavior-level coverage around the exact repro path before claiming the fix is complete.
