omnyshell_client library

OmnyShell Client: authenticate with a Hub, discover nodes, and open exec or interactive sessions.

final client = ClientRuntime(ClientConfig(
  hubUri: Uri.parse('wss://hub.example.com:8443'),
  credentials: credentials,
));
await client.connect();
final result = await client.execute(nodeId: 'web-01', command: 'uname -a');

Classes

ActiveSessionDetachRequest
Client → Hub: detach an active (attached) session on nodeId from another connection — e.g. when a full-screen program owns the original terminal. sessionRef is an id/short-id/prefix, or empty to target the caller's sole active session. Correlated by requestId.
ActiveSessionDetachResponse
Hub → Client: the result of an active-session detach. Correlated by requestId.
ActiveSessionDetachResult
The result of ClientRuntime.detachActiveSession.
Authenticator
Validates a Credential and resolves it to a Principal.
AuthFail
Failed authentication.
AuthOk
Successful authentication, carrying the resolved identity and a session token bound to this connection.
Authorizer
Decides whether an authenticated Principal may open a session on a node.
AuthRequest
A login attempt presenting a credential.
CertGenerator
Generates the TLS certificate material an OmnyShell Hub needs to run.
CertificateIdentity
Extracts a stable public-key identity from an X.509 certificate.
Channel
One logical, bidirectional stream multiplexed over a connection.
ChannelClose
Tear down a channel.
ChannelContentSource
An OmnyDrive ContentSource backed by a node-side path reached over a drive session.
ChannelEof
Half-close a stream (typically stdin) on the channel.
ChannelExit
Node → Client: the process exited.
ChannelId
A logical channel identifier, scoped to a single physical connection.
ChannelMultiplexer
Multiplexes logical Channels over a single OmnyShellConnection.
ChannelResize
Resize the terminal of an interactive session.
ChannelSignal
Deliver a POSIX signal to the session's process.
ChannelWindow
Backpressure credit grant for a stream on a channel.
ClientConfig
Configuration for a ClientRuntime.
ClientRuntime
An embeddable OmnyShell client: authenticates with the Hub, discovers nodes, and opens exec / interactive sessions.
A TransferLink backed by a client-side RemoteSession.
Clock
Time source used throughout OmnyShell so tests can fix now.
CmdShellDialect
Windows cmd.exe — the degraded last resort. cmd /Q disables command echo; initLine shrinks the prompt to >. The marker reports only the working directory (%CD%): git branch/status and privilege are omitted, since cmd cannot compute them inline. The token is written in two set /p pieces so it never appears verbatim in the command text.
CommandHistory
Persistent, per-key command history backed by a plain-text file.
ControlFrame
A control message frame (carried as a WebSocket text frame).
ControlMessage
Base class for every structured control message.
Credential
A credential presented during the authentication handshake.
CredentialProvider
Produces the AuthRequest a node or client sends in response to the Hub's challenge hello.
CredentialStore
On-disk store of Hub logins, keyed by Hub URL, with a remembered default.
CwdMarker
Client-side shell integration that learns the remote working directory.
CwdScan
The outcome of feeding one chunk of remote stdout to a CwdMarker.
DataFrame
A binary stream-data frame (carried as a WebSocket binary frame) with a fixed 10-byte header followed by the raw payload bytes.
DetachedSessionInfo
A user-facing view of a detached session living in a node's in-memory registry, as returned by the list API and relayed through the Hub.
DetachedSessionKillRequest

PosixShellDialect
POSIX shells (sh, bash, zsh, Git Bash, WSL): the original protocol, unchanged. Uses trap, eval, stty and a printf/git/id marker.
PowerShellDialect
Windows PowerShell (pwsh/powershell). The shell reads commands from a redirected stdin (so input is never echoed); initLine silences the per-line prompt. The marker computes git status counts and the admin flag in PowerShell and writes one line directly to the console out.

Detects when the remote terminal switches into or out of the alternate screen buffer, by watching the output byte stream for the DEC private-mode sequences full-screen programs emit:
Session

SessionDetached
Hub → Client: the session was detached; resume it later by shortId.
SessionDetachRequest
Client → Hub: detach the live session on channel, keeping the node-side PTY/shell/processes running. Optional timeoutSeconds schedules automatic cleanup; null keeps the session indefinitely.

Unique identity of a brokered session, minted by the Hub when a session is opened. Equality is by value.
SessionOpen
Client → Hub: opens a session on a node over a new client channel.

SessionScreenResponse
Hub → Client: the current screen snapshot of a session. Correlated by requestId.

UidComputer
Computes deterministic OmnyUids from identity material.
UidResolution
The outcome of resolving an entity's UID against its persisted value.

Constants

Default GZip compression level for transfers (1=fast … 9=best).
kMinProtocolVersion → const int

Functions

archiveError(ArchiveFormat format, {required bool isDir}) String?
Validates format against whether the source isDir, returning an error message to show the user, or null when the combination is allowed.
archiveExtension(ArchiveFormat format) String
The file extension (without a leading dot) for format.
downloadPath({required ClientRuntime client, required String nodeId, required String remotePath, required String localDest, bool destIsDir = false, int gzipLevel = kDefaultGzipLevel, void onProgress(TransferProgress)?, Future<bool> confirm(TransferPreflight)?}) Future<TransferResult>
Downloads remotePath from nodeId to the local localDest (a directory to write into, or an explicit target path — see FileTransferEngine.runReceiver; destIsDir forces directory mode), resuming any partial files and verifying each file's SHA-256.
formatSyncProgress(ProgressEvent e) String?
Formats a sync ProgressEvent as a compact one-line status for in-session display above the prompt, or null when there is nothing useful to show.
isProtocolCompatible(int remoteVersion, {int? remoteMin}) bool
Whether a peer advertising remoteVersion (with optional remoteMin) is compatible with this build.
launchesForegroundProgram(String line) bool
Whether line launches an interactive foreground program that should take over the terminal (so the client switches to raw passthrough).
mayChangeCwdOrGit(String line) bool
Whether line could change the working directory or git state, and thus warrants a prompt refresh (the marker).
newId() String
Generates a new globally-unique identifier (UUID v4).
newSecureToken([int byteLength = 32]) String
Returns byteLength cryptographically secure random bytes encoded as a URL-safe, unpadded base64 string.
parseArchiveFlag(String arg) ArchiveFormat?
Parses a --… compression flag into an ArchiveFormat, or null if arg is not a recognised compression flag.
parseStatLines(String stdout) List<StatEntry>
Parses the TYPE|SIZE|PATH lines emitted by the node's find/stat run.
remoteArchiveCommand(String src, {required ArchiveFormat format, required bool isDir}) String
Returns a POSIX sh command that builds an archive of src (a file or directory per isDir) in format and prints the resulting temporary archive path as its only stdout line.
remoteCompletionCommand(String word, {required bool isCommand}) String
Returns a POSIX sh command that prints completion candidates for word, one per line. When isCommand is true the word is in command position.
renderTree(String root, List<StatEntry> entries, {required int maxDepth}) List<String>
Renders entries (rooted at the start point root) as a tree-style listing: each line carries the aggregated size, directories are listed first, and subtrees deeper than maxDepth are collapsed (their line still reports the full aggregate). maxDepth == 0 means no depth limit.
shortId(String id, [int length = 8]) String
Derives a short, human-friendly handle from a full id.
uploadPath({required ClientRuntime client, required String nodeId, required String localPath, required String remoteDir, int gzipLevel = kDefaultGzipLevel, void onProgress(TransferProgress)?, Future<bool> confirm(TransferPreflight)?}) Future<TransferResult>
Uploads the local localPath to remoteDir on nodeId, resuming any partial files; the node verifies each file's SHA-256 and reports failure via the session exit code.

Typedefs

Friendly alias for ClientRuntime, the embeddable OmnyShell client.
StatEntry = ({bool isDir, bool isLink, String path, int size})
A single find … -exec stat … entry: its absolute path, byte size and whether it is a directory or a symlink (leaf; never followed).
