* fix(files): refresh open file content after external edits
Previously, opening a file in the Files view and then editing it externally
(e.g. via CLI or another editor) would show stale content. Even closing and
reopening the file returned cached content — a full page reload was required.
Root causes:
1. The in-memory readFile cache used path-only hits, with no metadata
validation. External edits were invisible until the cache was evicted.
2. No polling mechanism existed to detect external changes to the open file.
Fix:
- Add mtimeMs to statFile across all runtimes (web, VS Code, desktop).
- Cache layer (RuntimeAPIProvider): validate cache hits against current stat
metadata (mtimeMs + size). On miss, use stat→read→stat to avoid TOCTOU.
- UI layer (FilesView): poll the open file every 2s; on detected change, set
loadedFilePath=null to trigger the existing load effect once (no double
reload). Skip polling when tab is hidden or editor has unsaved changes.
- After save, refresh the stat ref so the next poll doesn't see a spurious
change from the save itself.
Addresses review feedback from PR #827 (double reload + TOCTOU).
* fix(files): address P2 review findings
- readFreshFile retry now uses stat→read→stat to maintain TOCTOU
protection during the retry path (not just the initial read).
- Replace isDirty in polling effect deps with isDirtyRef to avoid
unnecessary interval teardown/restart on every edit/save cycle.
Security note: binding to 0.0.0.0 exposes the server on all network interfaces — use only on trusted networks and protect with firewall rules or --ui-password.
Managed-local path note: OPENCHAMBER_TUNNEL_CONFIG must use a container path under /home/openchamber/.... If the config file references credentials-file, ensure that JSON path is also mounted and reachable inside the container.
Data directory: mount data/ for persistent storage. Ensure permissions:
openchamber # Runs in background by default
openchamber stop # Stop background server
systemd service (VPN / LAN access)
Use --foreground to keep the CLI process alive so systemd (or any other process manager) can track and restart it. Combine with OPENCODE_HOST to connect to an OpenCode instance running as a separate service.
Why set PATH and SSH_AUTH_SOCK?
systemd user services start with a minimal environment — no shell profile is sourced.
Without an explicit PATH, OpenCode won't find tools installed via Homebrew, npm, or ~/.local/bin.
Without SSH_AUTH_SOCK, git operations over SSH (push, pull, clone) will fail.
%t expands to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (e.g. /run/user/1000), where most SSH agents write their socket.
--host 0.0.0.0 is required to listen on all interfaces (the default is 127.0.0.1). Use --host <ip> or OPENCHAMBER_HOST=<ip> to bind to a specific interface instead.
