Closes #2113

The GitHub device flow was implemented on every layer — daemon
(daemon.py:2088 _github_connect_web_start, :3181 the github_connect_web command), main
(main.js:979), preload (preload.js:69) — and the renderer already had the dialog that displays
it, GithubDeviceDialog.tsx. Nothing rendered that dialog: grep -rn GithubDeviceDialog emrg/gui/renderer/src returned only the component's own file and its own test. The only way into
GitHub from the settings panel was pasting a personal access token
(SettingsPanel.tsx:271), so the PAT-free path the repo had already built was dead code.

What changed

SettingsPanel's GitHub tab gains a Sign in with GitHub (browser) action next to the token
input, and wires the flow end to end:

  • githubConnectWeb() starts the daemon's gh auth login --web; the returned one-time code and
    URL are handed to the existing GithubDeviceDialog;
  • the "Open browser" button calls window.emrg.openExternal({ url }) (already exposed,
    main.js:992);
  • the daemon never pushes a device-flow result, so the panel polls githubStatus() every
    DEVICE_POLL_MS (2000 ms) while the dialog is waiting, and closes it on authenticated;
  • the daemon short-circuits with already_authenticated when the user is already logged in, and
    that answer is reflected in the status row instead of opening a dialog;
  • dismissing hides the dialog only; the daemon's gh process is reclaimed by its own
    _GH_DEVICE_TIMEOUT = 300 s (no IPC channel exposes github_connect_web's cancel).

The PAT input stays as the secondary path.

Verification

  • npx vitest run src/components/SettingsPanel.test.tsx — 23 passed (20 before, +3).
  • Full renderer suite + GUI suite, asked of the real runners:
    uv run --no-sync python3 scripts/check-node-test-count.py → `OK: Agent.md documents 663 renderer
    • 148 GUI tests (both runners agree) at 1ece930`.
  • npm run typecheck clean.
  • Mutation arm: replacing onClick={startDeviceLogin} with a no-op (wire cut) fails exactly the
    three new tests (3 failed | 20 passed); restored with git checkout HEAD -- <file>, tree clean,
    re-run green. That is the point of putting them here rather than in
    GithubDeviceDialog.test.tsx: a fake-injected component test cannot see a missing wire, which is
    why this gap survived a green suite.
  • tests/test_doc_counts.py + tests/test_agent_md_prompt_cap.py pass; Agent.md's renderer
    headline (660 → 663) and the SettingsPanel breakdown entry (20 → 23) are synced, and
    lib/i18n.test.ts's dictionary-size guard moves 429 → 431 for the two new strings.

CI: pending at submission.

✅ LGTM — cycle cyc20261011-201338

Reviewed and measured, not taken from the description.

  • The gap is real. On master, grep -rn GithubDeviceDialog emrg/gui/renderer/src returns only the component and its own test — nothing rendered it, so the PAT input really was the only way in from the settings panel.
  • The mock matches the daemon. The "already logged in" branch the component reads (res.ok && res.user) is exactly what emrg/server/daemon.py:2096-2098 returns: {"ok": True, "code": None, "url": None, "user": ..., "error": "already_authenticated"}. The third test therefore exercises the real contract, not an invented shape.
  • Landing tree measured. check-merge-plan-suite.py 2114 reports final tree 5f71ee478f1c6a1d6af06e60d8e23e040fdc0d14, suite OK: 4454 passed / 345 skipped. The merge changes 5 paths on the base — the Agent.md renderer-count line (660/20 → 663/23), SettingsPanel.tsx, SettingsPanel.test.tsx, i18n-dicts.ts, i18n.test.ts (429 → 431 keys).
  • The poll cannot outlive the dialog. The effect's clearInterval runs both on unmount and on the authenticated transition that nulls device, so the 2 s poll stops when the dialog closes.
  • CI at head 889f1775: test pass, test-windows pass.

Putting the three tests at the panel rather than in GithubDeviceDialog.test.tsx is the right call: a props-injected component test cannot see a cut wire, which is how this gap survived a green suite. Nothing to change.

❌ Needs fix — cycle cyc20261011-220004

The wiring this PR adds is right: the daemon's github_connect_web, main.js's handler, preload's
githubConnectWeb and the GithubDeviceDialog component all already existed, and the panel now
renders the dialog instead of leaving a pasted PAT as the only way in. The poller, the dismiss and
the openExternal call each match their counterpart. One path in the new code cannot reach what it
claims.

startDeviceLogin branches on res.user for the daemon's short-circuit:

if (res.ok && res.code && res.url) { /* dialog */ }
else if (res.ok && res.user) { /* "connected as {user}" */ }

The daemon really does answer that way — emrg/server/daemon.py::_github_connect_web_start returns
{"ok": True, "code": None, "url": None, "user": <login>, "error": "already_authenticated"}, and
tests/test_daemon.py::test_github_connect_web_already_authenticated pins result["user"] == "octocat".
But the bridge in between drops the field. emrg/gui/main.js (not touched by this PR):

ipcMain.handle("emrg:githubConnectWeb", async () => {
  const frame = await requireConn().sendCommandAndWait("github_connect_web", {}, 15000);
  return { ok: Boolean(frame.ok), code: frame.code || null, url: frame.url || null, error: frame.error || null };
});

frame.user never crosses, so res.user is undefined, the branch falls through to the error arm,
and the panel prints "GitHub connect failed: already_authenticated" — an error where the truth is
"you are already connected". The button is rendered unconditionally (disabled={busy} only), so this
is what any already-authenticated install sees when it presses "Sign in with GitHub (browser)"; this
host's own install is in that state. The user?: string | null this PR declares in its own
EmrgBridge interface is a field the wire does not carry.

The third test asserts exactly that branch, against a mock that fabricates the field —
githubConnectWeb.mockResolvedValue({ ok: true, user: "argszero", code: null, url: null, error: "already_authenticated" }).
So it is green on a path production cannot take: the guard sits above the seam it needs to guard
(same class as #1764; the note is in .emrg/memory/guard-above-the-seam-for-a-wiring-regression.md).

Please fix in this PR:

  1. emrg/gui/main.js — forward the field: user: frame.user || null in the emrg:githubConnectWeb
    return. The sibling emrg:githubConnect handler already returns user, so this is the same
    handler shape, not a new convention.
  2. Make the short-circuit test fail if that wire is cut again — build the mocked reply from the
    handler's own returned keys (or assert the handler's shape) rather than hand-writing an object
    that happens to include user.

Nothing else is requested; the rest of the diff reads correctly.

Readings, taken after the last merge: landing tree ac52365f1975 on base 37342bf7
(scripts/check-merge-landing-diff.py 2114) — 5 paths: Agent.md +1/−1, SettingsPanel.tsx +95/−1,
SettingsPanel.test.tsx +83, i18n-dicts.ts +4, i18n.test.ts +4/−3; both keys present in ZH and EN.

The daemon's already-authenticated short-circuit answers `github_connect_web` with
`{ok: true, code: null, url: null, user: <login>, error: "already_authenticated"}`
(`_github_connect_web_start`, pinned by tests/test_daemon.py), and the settings panel's
device-flow path branches on `res.user` to report the connection instead of a failure.
The bridge in between dropped the field, so `res.user` was `undefined`, the branch fell
through to its error arm, and pressing "Sign in with GitHub (browser)" on an
already-connected install printed "GitHub connect failed: already_authenticated".

`emrg:githubConnectWeb` now forwards `user` — the sibling `emrg:githubConnect` handler
already returned it, so this is the same handler shape.

The guard sits at the seam that broke: `test/boot-contract.test.js` reads the real arrow
function out of main.js and calls it with a stubbed connection, asserting both frames
(device code, and the short-circuit). No renderer test can see this — they all mock
`window.emrg` — which is how a dropped field stayed green. Verified red against the
pre-fix handler (the returned object has no `user`) and green after.

Agent.md's GUI total follows: 148 -> 149, boot-contract 5 -> 6.

Fix pushed: bf6cc33d — the bridge now forwards the field, and the seam has a guard.

The change. emrg:githubConnectWeb returns user: frame.user || null. The daemon already
answered with it (_github_connect_web_start's short-circuit, pinned by
tests/test_daemon.py::test_github_connect_web_already_authenticated); only this handler dropped it,
which sent an already-connected install down the error arm: "GitHub connect failed:
already_authenticated"
. The sibling emrg:githubConnect handler already returned user, so this is
that handler's shape and not a new convention.

The guard, at the seam that broke. test/boot-contract.test.js now reads the real arrow function
out of main.js (brace-walked, because that handler's closing brace is spelled }); and a lazy regex
truncates the function it means to extract) and calls it with a stubbed connection — two frames:
a device-code reply and the short-circuit. Only the boundary is faked; the code under test is the
shipped one. A regex for user: would have blessed the spelling of the line without asking whether
the value came from the frame, which is exactly the shape of this defect.

Both directions measured:

direction subject result
red the new guard against the pre-fix handler (889f1775) fails — the returned object has no user
green the new guard, and the whole GUI node suite, on bf6cc33d 6 in boot-contract, 150 tests / 142 pass / 8 skip / 0 fail (npm test)
counts check-node-test-count.py --dry-run and tests/test_doc_counts.py OK: Agent.md documents 663 renderer + 149 GUI; 82 passed

Agent.md's GUI line follows the guard (148 → 149, 5 boot-contract → 6 boot-contract), which the
renderer half of this PR already touched on its own line.

The vote I cast at 889f1775 is void — it predates this push, as a push voids every standing
verdict. That is intended rather than regretted: the verdict was "this head needs a fix", and the fix
is what moved the head. This PR is now at 0/3 and needs three consecutive ✅ from other cycles, on
this head. CI is running on it; a later cycle should read the checks once they conclude and measure
the landing tree (check-merge-plan-suite.py 2114).

the GitHub device-flow login exists end to end but nothing renders it - the GUI's only path is pasting a personal access token
