📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a Claude Code MCP integration that exposes saved SSH connections, command execution, and remote file access through a loopback server. It adds approval prompts, Security settings controls, and supporting documentation. A separate change adjusts temporary-file cleanup after database write failures. ChangesClaude Code MCP integration

Review comments at @src/main/ipc/mcp/mcp.ts:
- Around line 49-54: Update stop() to force-close active connections on the
captured running server after initiating server.close(), then await the close
callback so shutdown cannot be held open by an in-flight request.
- Around line 49-54: Update `stop()` to cancel every pending approval before
awaiting `server.close()`, so an approval resolved later cannot proceed with a
tool request after MCP is disabled. Add or reuse a cancellation function in
`mcpApprovals` that denies all entries in `pending`, and invoke it alongside
`clearApprovalGrants()` before closing the server.
Review comments at @src/main/ipc/mcp/mcpApprovals.ts:
- Around line 43-63: Update requestApproval to cancel its pending entry when the
selected webContents is destroyed or starts a new load, resolving it as deny,
clearing its timeout, and removing it from pending; retain the timeout as a
fallback. Reuse this cancellation path for both manual and automatic lock
transitions so pending approval promises do not remain unresolved.
Review comments at @src/main/ipc/security.ts:
- Around line 112-146: Update blockedShellCommandReason to reject commands
containing shell command substitution, including both $(...) and backtick forms,
before checking command segments; return a refusal reason so nested destructive
commands cannot reach execution.

💡 Result:
For **Node.js v20**, `server.close()` stops accepting new connections and closes idle connections; active connections are allowed to finish. The v20 docs note idle connections are closed automatically by `server.close()` starting in **v19.0.0**. ([nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/v20.0.0-v8-canary20230121d7063b9dab/docs/api/http.html?utm_source=openai))
`server.closeAllConnections()` is the forceful option: it closes active as well as idle HTTP(S) connections. Use it after `server.close()` to avoid a race with newly accepted connections. ([nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/download/v8-canary/v20.0.0-v8-canary20230121d7063b9dab/docs/api/http.html?utm_source=openai))

Force-close active MCP connections during shutdown.
Node 20 closes idle keep-alive connections when server.close() runs. An active connection can still delay the callback. readBody() has no timeout, so a client can keep an in-flight request open indefinitely. The old server also retains its old token until that connection closes.

+ if (running) {
+ const closed = new Promise<void>((resolve) => running.close(() => resolve()))

Cancel pending approvals when MCP stops.
stop() clears only session grants. A request waiting in requestApproval() remains in pending. If the MCP client closes its socket, server.close() can complete while respond() continues. A later renderer approval can then start an SSH command or file read after mcp:setEnabled(false) has completed.
Cancel every pending approval before awaiting server.close(). Closing the HTTP connection and clearing future session grants do not cancel existing tool requests.

…ck inside command substitutions
- Turning MCP off or locking noxed denies every waiting approval and
forgets session grants, so a late answer can't act afterwards.
keychain gains onLock() so manual and auto-lock both notify.
- A prompt whose window closes or reloads is denied instead of hanging
until the timeout.
- stop() ends open connections so close() can't be held by a request.
- The destructive-command guard now checks the insides of $(...),
backticks and subshells, and looks past exec/nohup/time/{ prefixes.
Lets Claude Code (or any MCP client) work with the SSH servers saved in noxed. Credentials never leave the main process, and nothing runs until the user approves it.
What's in it
src/main/ipc/mcp/): Streamable HTTP JSON-RPC on127.0.0.1only, tools only, no SSE. Requests need a bearer token kept in the OS keychain (saveAppSecret/getAppSecret), compared withtimingSafeEqual. Requests with a non-loopbackHostor a webOriginare refused (DNS rebinding).list_connections,run_command,list_directory,read_file. Commands and reads open their own SSH connection throughconnectSessionClientand are closed afterwards.blockedShellCommandReasoninsecurity.tsalways refuses a short list of destructive commands (rm -rf /,mkfs,shutdown, …).execCapturemoved intosshClients.tsand is now shared with Docker.claude mcp addcommand and a "New token" button.mcpEnabledandmcpPortcan only be changed through their own lock-checked handlers; genericsettings:setrefuses them.lib/requestQueue.ts: shared queue helpers, now used by both the host-key prompt and the MCP prompt.Also
fix:writeChunks(DB export) now waits for the write stream to close before removing its temp file. Under load, a size-cap failure could leave a.partialfile behind (seen as a flakydatabase.test.ts).Testing
tscpasses for the node and web projects, and all 1634 tests pass.
