description	Shared behavior and mutation-path rules for cmux. Use when a behavior is exposed through multiple entrypoints such as keyboard shortcuts, command palette, context menu, CLI, settings, debug menu, optimistic UI, or tests that previously missed a bug.

cmux Shared Behavior

Use one shared action/model path when behavior is exposed through multiple entrypoints.

Shared entrypoints

When a behavior is exposed through multiple surfaces, implement one shared action/model path and verify every entrypoint that should invoke it.

Common entrypoints include:

• keyboard shortcut
• command palette
• context menu
• CLI/socket command
• settings UI
• debug menu

Do not patch one surface while leaving the others with duplicated logic.

Optimistic updates

For optimistic UI or CLI updates:

• keep one mutation path
• record pending state with a request id or previous snapshot
• reconcile from the authoritative result
• handle failure with an explicit rollback or error state

Do not let each entrypoint maintain its own optimistic copy.

Missed-bug coverage

When a user says tests missed a bug, add or adjust behavior-level coverage around the exact repro path before claiming the fix is complete.
