Closes #1289

Status

Implement: done Review: round 1 + 2 fix-checks passed, 0 open Hardware: pass (bc4457b, 4/4) Gate: waiting for the stack
Next: gate on the top PR (ADR 0064 flipped in 9163a2a, stack merge bd0bb56 verified by coordinator)

Done when

  • pnpm check passes — CI on bc4457b: Static checks, Unit, Timing, E2E 1-3, Fallow green; after the stack merge this PR no longer touches src/daemon/main.ts or the size list (its wiring is in src/daemon/worker-composition.ts)
  • Slow lane, on a machine with the Android SDK: scripts/slow-e2e.sh e2e/slow-android-tunnel.test.ts passes, its emulator case included (needs a real emulator) — hardware verifier, whole file 4/4 on bc4457b (log simlock-slow-e2e-20261105-231714.log)
  • cli.mdx, remote-agents.mdx and errors.mdx describe simlock tunnel emulator adb, the automatic adb connect, the Play Store unauthorized case and the refusals — the three page hunks, read by the audit and the claims lens

Feature #1282 completion conditions:

Assumptions

  • Assumption: the BAD_REQUEST text for a bad emulatorPort in HELLO — HELLO emulator tunnels must name the port adb; the spec fixes only the code.
  • Assumption: an OPEN naming an emulator tunnel the HELLO did not name — it reuses the existing OPEN must name a forward tunnel of this socket text, to keep one wording for an OPEN naming no tunnel of the socket.
  • Assumption: the help line — emulator adb[:<caller-port>] follows the device tunnels after a |; the spec says only that the line names it.
  • Assumption: a busy emulator caller port — exits 1 TUNNEL_CALLER_PORT_IN_USE with emulator adb: localhost:<c> is already in use, as a forward does.
  • Assumption: adb answers with no usable line — the warning reads adb answered: with nothing after it.

Walkthrough

The change adds Android emulator ADB tunneling. The worker protocol accepts an emulator ADB tunnel and routes connections to supported Android emulators. The CLI binds a caller port, runs the caller’s ADB connect and disconnect commands, and reports connection warnings. The change also adds Android driver, worker, CLI, listener, and end-to-end tests, and updates the tunnel documentation and ADR status.

Suggested reviewers: leonardoxr

Merge Risk: Low · up to bd0bb

Unusual ADB failures can close an active tunnel, and a shutdown race can delay exit. The fixes are localized; address them before merging or accept the bounded risk.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to bd0bb

Lease authorization, per-session target restrictions, and loopback-only endpoints constrain the new access path. A shutdown race can start caller-side ADB work after cleanup has begun, but continued emulator access after shutdown was not established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: A late READY can restart caller-side ADB work after shutdown cleanup begins. If interruption precedes READY, disconnect marks the helper as leaving and returns without spawning when no ADB executable has been used. The READY handler nevertheless invokes connect, which spawns before checking that state. Subsequent shutdown reuses the memoized cleanup, so it does not kill this newly started process; a hanging connect can retain the CLI until its own timeout. This PR introduces the process side effect into the pre-existing late-READY window. Socket and listener closure constrain the impact: a persistent emulator connection or access after lease termination is not established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The intended remote authority is ADB access to the resolved lease's emulator, not unrestricted worker networking. The caller endpoint is loopback-only, but is available to processes able to connect within that host network namespace; the listener itself does not distinguish local principals.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Authentication precedes lease socket acceptance. Lease resolution enforces owner or administrative/operator authority before module attachment; direct worker attachment and gateway relay routing use the resolved lease identity. Within that boundary, emulator OPEN additionally requires the socket's prior adb declaration.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Worker OPEN rejects reused or out-of-order caller connection identifiers and enforces a connection-count limit. Session termination closes connection ownership, including eventual pending results. These controls contain worker-side repetition and interruption; the retained concern is the separate caller-side READY/cleanup ordering.

Explanation

[ #1289 ] The implementation, tests and documentation support emulator ADB tunneling. The ADR status updates concern the same tunnel design. The slow-test helper and emulator image changes support the requested end-to-end coverage.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 40.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 25 functions across 23 files. (10 skipped: 10 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[ #1289 ] The worker, driver, listener and CLI changes implement emulator ADB routing, validation, port selection and reset throttling. Tests cover these seams and mixed tunnels. The documentation and reported Android slow-lane run support the feature. The CLI diff starts disconnect on shutdown and starts connect on READY. The available source output truncates before the READY handler. It does not establish whether READY can start connect after shutdown begins, as the review note suggests.

Resolution

Provide the complete READY handler or a test that establishes the behavior when READY arrives after shutdown begins.

Decision taken

The audit found two behaviours that no Tests line covered.

  1. The emulator-port connect on an Android driver built without a tcpStreamConnector. It rejects with TUNNEL_FAILED "the emulator has no adb port yet". Deleting the guard leaves every test green.
    • (a) Add a case to the driver's deviceTcp tests. Nothing changes for a user. It catches a regression that would throw instead of refusing cleanly.
    • (b) Leave it untested.
    • Taken: (a). It pins code the PR already has. Reverting it means deleting the case.
  2. The daemon wiring of supportsEmulatorPort and connectEmulatorPort.
    • (a) Add a daemon-level fast test.
    • (b) The slow-lane emulator case stays its only proof, as for every other daemon wiring line.
    • Taken: (b), following the build brief's rule that wiring gets no red step of its own. Reverting it means one test added to the daemon e2e suite.

Both are in #1289's Tests lines, marked pending the maintainer.

…ream connector and a non-adb emulator OPEN are refused (#1289)
…nd its connect wait shows the command's stderr (#1289)

The test was wrong, not the product. It leased Pixel 9 with no image tag,
and on this machine the newest image Pixel 9 fits is API 37.0
google_apis_playstore. A Play Store image has ro.adb.secure 1, so the
caller's adb, which runs with its own HOME and so its own key, is never
authorized (spike F14). The caller's adb server log
(/tmp/simlock-slow/adb.501.log) shows the transport to the tunnel port
open from 23:06:57 until the CLI was killed at 23:07:27, with no
handshake finishing. The CLI then prints a warning on stderr and never
`adb: connected`, which the test waited 30 s for. The spec already says a
Play Store image answers `unauthorized` and the docs say to lease a
google_apis image, so the test now leases one with `--image-tag
google_apis`. The connect wait now prints the command's stderr, so the
next failure shows the warning itself.

Not blocking, not verified. Each is one reviewer's claim.

  • code: src/cli/commands/tunnel.ts:643 a READY that arrives after Ctrl-C still runs adb connect with no adb disconnect, leaving a stale 127.0.0.1:<port> entry in the caller's adb; the window is one network round trip

Handle a rejection from adb.connect.

A spawn or wait error can reject adb.connect. The unhandled rejection can end Node under its default settings, closing the tunnel without disconnecting ADB. Cancel the wait timer on rejection and report a warning instead.

Proposed fix

-    const result = await handle.wait();
-    environment.clock.cancel(timer);
-    return { result, timedOut };
+    try {
+      const result = await handle.wait();
+      return { result, timedOut };
+    } finally {
+      environment.clock.cancel(timer);
+    }
-          if (kind === "emulator") void adb.connect(callerPort);
+          if (kind === "emulator") {
+            void adb.connect(callerPort).catch(() => {
+              environment.stderr.write(
+                `warning: emulator adb: adb connect failed; run: adb connect 127.0.0.1:${String(callerPort)}\n`,
+              );
+            });
+          }

464-466: Minor · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Skip adb connect once the command is leaving.

A READY received after stop() can start adb connect after disconnect() has returned. If that connect hangs, it is not killed during shutdown and can keep the CLI process alive until its 10-second timeout.

Proposed fix

     async connect(callerPort: number): Promise<void> {
+      if (leaving) return;
       target = `127.0.0.1:${String(callerPort)}`;
