Keyboard-launcher launches (Raycast/Spotlight Enter) left the
LSUIElement app unforegrounded with a missing Dock icon until Mission
Control forced a refresh. Investigation across real-machine rounds
(recorded in the ADR-0017 supplements) pinned three cooperating causes:
- The launch activation retry never started at launch: the workspace
window's participation events (anchor attach / occlusion / key) could
all miss the launch moment when content installed before the window
became visible and the visibility notification fired before the
anchor attached. A deferred visibility rescan plus re-armable chain
(until truly settled) close this gap.
- NSApp.isActive can report an activation illusion while the menu bar
still belongs to the previous frontmost app, so the settle check now
requires both isActive and menu bar ownership.
- A same-turn accessory->regular bounce is coalesced away by the
system; forced activation is a three-hop sequence with real settle
delays (accessory -> 0.1s -> regular -> 0.15s -> activate), which
re-registers the app with WindowServer/Dock and reclaims the menu
bar. Each acting attempt also re-asserts makeKeyAndOrderFront and
orderFrontRegardless as a visible-layer fallback.
Diagnostics: launchActivationRetry and windowAnchorAttached events
(unified-log category "window") record per-attempt facts (activation,
local policy, frontmost app, menu bar owner, space, window visibility);
user-environment facts stay out of shared diagnostic reports.
The root system-proxy helper logged nothing and launchd discards its
stdout/stderr, leaving helper launches, connection refusals, GUI-side
timeouts and root-side failures invisible. Share the minimal unified-log
emission unit (SystemLog) across GUI, wrapper and helper, and add a
dedicated closed helper event enum (lifecycle minimum: listener ready,
connection accepted/rejected with peer pid, typed apply/clear results)
with ADR-0045 privacy splitting. The emission seam is injected at the
helper engine and listener for test doubles. Helper events are
Console-only: no stderr, no agent.log, no diagnostic view or report
surface (ADR-0047).
Collapse the four definitions of "one log line" into LogLine (timestamp,
level, source, text) with a single renderer and parser. agent.log lines
now carry the uniform prefix, absorbing the ssxng: event marker into the
source column; legacy lines degrade to raw display without rewriting.
Level detection moves into the row model with a classic three-level
taxonomy whose unified-log projection stays unchanged.
The diagnostics log view merges GUI events and the agent.log tail through
DiagnosticLogIntake into one time-ordered list with level and source
filters; the tail window logic moves into the intake and blank lines are
kept for raw fidelity. The report whitelist projection and unified-log
routing are unchanged.
Add the SSXNG_SYSTEM_LOG=0 test seam: RuntimeLog.emit and the sslocal
unified-log destination skip their os.Logger writes when it is set,
while stderr lines and the event sink are unaffected. Test execution
no longer floods the unified log store (a full validate run previously
recorded 795 entries under the shared subsystem, 743 from xctest and
52 from test-spawned agents).
The switch is injected by the schemes' test actions only (Run/Profile
keep system logging so debugging from Xcode still shows it), and set
explicitly in the fixtures that spawn the agent/sslocal processes,
including the fixture that strips inherited SSXNG_* path seams. The
main scheme is now declared explicitly to keep the variable out of the
Launch/Profile actions. Document the seam in ADR-0045.
Record ADR-0045: unified-log routing through the emission seam with
native os.Logger and no third-party logging library, the closed-enum
dispatch with public/private text split, and the sslocal output intake
as a second free-form stream that never enters RuntimeLogEvent. Point
the systemLogRoute comment at the ADR.
Collect line framing, password redaction and oversized-line discard in
one SslocalOutputIntake and dispatch redacted lines through a
destination seam: stderr (freopen'd into agent.log, raw capture kept
for ADR-0006 local viewing) and the unified log under category "sslocal",
reusing the shared subsystem.
Upstream free text is never routed through RuntimeLogEvent and is
marked private in the unified log as a whole (ADR-0014 warns default
upstream logs may contain server addresses). Levels derive from
whitespace-separated upstream level tokens: ERROR maps to .error,
WARN/WARNING maps to .default (unified logging has no warning level),
and anything else maps to .info so the unified-log surface persists
only detected problems while agent.log stays the persistent surface.
The intake lives in Domain/Runtime so the hostless test mirror compiles
it; unit tests drive raw chunks against fake destinations instead of
parsing agent.log text. The 1 MiB agent.log retention policy deliberately
stays on the file side shared with wrapper event lines.
Emit every RuntimeLogEvent to os.Logger under a shared subsystem with
per-event category and level, so GUI and wrapper output can be filtered
in Console.app. Public text is split from private detail (free-form error
text and connectivity measurement content) on the closed enum, keeping
server addresses out of the public log surface. The stderr line and the
event sink stay unchanged. Add the system log glossary term.
Separate Agent supervision from sslocal input and preserve the latest intent after deployment failure. Persist failure barriers, serialize publication and retirement, and verify reload and single-instance behavior with real processes.
