Phase 1 Plan 3: Tmux Session Lifecycle Summary

Tmux session lifecycle management using libtmux with state persistence and workspace integration

Performance

• Duration: 6 min
• Started: 2026-03-10T16:42:50Z
• Completed: 2026-03-10T16:49:12Z
• Tasks: 4
• Files modified: 4

Accomplishments

• TmuxSession dataclass with metadata and exists property for session validation
• TmuxSessionManager for create/list/destroy operations with libtmux integration
• Session name collision handling with timestamp suffix format
• Session listing with project associations and orphan detection
• Integration with StateManager for persistence and WorkspaceManager for isolation

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1-4: Implement tmux session lifecycle management - 082ed4b (feat)
   • All tasks implemented together as they form a cohesive unit
   • TmuxSession dataclass, TmuxSessionManager class, SessionInfo dataclass
   • 22 tests covering all functionality

Plan metadata: pending (will be added with final commit)

Note: All tasks were implemented together as the TmuxSessionManager class provides all required methods

Files Created/Modified

• src/gsd_openclaw/tmux_session.py - Tmux session lifecycle management (317 lines)
• tests/test_tmux_session.py - Test coverage for tmux operations (460 lines, 22 tests)
• src/gsd_openclaw/__init__.py - Added exports for TmuxSession, TmuxSessionManager, SessionInfo
• pyproject.toml - Added libtmux>=0.55.0 dependency

Decisions Made

• Mock-based testing approach chosen to avoid dependency on real tmux server during tests
• Timestamp suffix format -YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS provides both uniqueness and human readability
• Orphan sessions (tmux session without state file) are detected and marked in list_gsd_sessions

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Added libtmux dependency

• Found during: Task 1 (test setup)
• Issue: libtmux package was not installed, imports would fail
• Fix: Added libtmux>=0.55.0 to pyproject.toml and ran pip install
• Files modified: pyproject.toml
• Verification: All imports succeed, tests pass
• Committed in: 082ed4b (Task 1-4 commit)

2. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Fixed test mocks for tmux server

• Found during: Task 1 (test execution)
• Issue: Tests requiring real tmux server failed with TmuxCommandNotFound
• Fix: Refactored tests to use mock objects instead of real tmux server
• Files modified: tests/test_tmux_session.py
• Verification: All 22 tests pass
• Committed in: 082ed4b (Task 1-4 commit)

3. [Rule 1 - Bug] Fixed PropertyMock usage in test

• Found during: Task 1 (test execution)
• Issue: PropertyMock assignment was incorrect, test failed
• Fix: Changed mock_tmux.session_id = PropertyMock(...) to type(mock_tmux).session_id = PropertyMock(...)
• Files modified: tests/test_tmux_session.py
• Verification: All tests pass
• Committed in: 082ed4b (Task 1-4 commit)

---

Total deviations: 3 auto-fixed (1 blocking, 1 blocking, 1 bug) Impact on plan: All auto-fixes necessary for correct testing without real tmux server. No scope creep.

Issues Encountered

None - all tasks completed successfully with mock-based testing approach.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required. libtmux is a Python package installed automatically.

Next Phase Readiness

• Tmux session management complete, ready for command execution implementation
• State persistence integration verified
• Workspace isolation integration verified
• All 56 tests passing across all modules

Self-Check: PASSED

• src/gsd_openclaw/tmux_session.py: FOUND
• tests/test_tmux_session.py: FOUND
• Commit 082ed4b: FOUND
