Investigate Claude permission test failures in daemon E2E tests
Root cause: daemon E2E tests read user's real ~/.claude/settings.json which has Bash(rm:*) in allow list, causing rm commands to auto-execute without permission prompts. Direct claude-agent.test.ts works because it uses useTempClaudeConfigDir() to create isolated settings with ask: ["Bash(rm:*)"] and sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR env var. Fix: Add temp config setup to daemon tests (same pattern as direct tests) or use settingSources: [] for SDK isolation mode.

# Investigation: Claude Provider Permissions in Daemon E2E Tests
|
||||
|
||||
## Root Cause
|
||||
|
||||
The Claude permission tests in `daemon.e2e.test.ts` don't work because they read the **user's real `~/.claude/settings.json`** which has `Bash(rm:*)` in the `allow` list. This causes `rm` commands to execute without requesting permission.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Direct Tests Work (`claude-agent.test.ts`)
|
||||
|
||||
The direct tests use `useTempClaudeConfigDir()` at `packages/server/src/server/agent/providers/claude-agent.test.ts:57-87`:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
function useTempClaudeConfigDir(): () => void {
|
||||
const previousConfigDir = process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR;
|
||||
const sourceConfigDir = previousConfigDir ?? path.join(os.homedir(), ".claude");
|
||||
const configDir = mkdtempSync(path.join(os.tmpdir(), "claude-config-"));
|
||||
const settings = {
|
||||
permissions: {
|
||||
allow: [],
|
||||
deny: [],
|
||||
ask: ["Bash(rm:*)"], // <-- Forces rm to request permission
|
||||
additionalDirectories: [],
|
||||
},
|
||||
sandbox: { enabled: true, autoAllowBashIfSandboxed: false },
|
||||
};
|
||||
writeFileSync(path.join(configDir, "settings.json"), settingsText, "utf8");
|
||||
writeFileSync(path.join(configDir, "settings.local.json"), settingsText, "utf8");
|
||||
copyClaudeCredentials(sourceConfigDir, configDir);
|
||||
process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR = configDir; // <-- SDK reads from this
|
||||
return () => { /* cleanup */ };
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This:
|
||||
1. Creates a temporary config directory with custom `settings.json`
|
||||
2. Sets `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` environment variable to point to it
|
||||
3. Includes `ask: ["Bash(rm:*)"]` so `rm` commands request permission
|
||||
4. The test's `beforeAll()` calls this before any tests run
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Daemon E2E Tests Fail
|
||||
|
||||
The daemon tests at `packages/server/src/server/daemon.e2e.test.ts:910-1094`:
|
||||
1. Start a daemon server via `createTestPaseoDaemon()`
|
||||
2. The daemon runs in-process (not a separate process)
|
||||
3. No temp config directory is set up
|
||||
4. The Claude SDK uses `settingSources: ["user", "project"]` (line 665 of `claude-agent.ts`)
|
||||
5. SDK reads `~/.claude/settings.json` which has `allow: ["Bash(rm:*)"]`
|
||||
6. `rm` commands auto-execute without permission prompt
|
||||
|
||||
### Evidence
|
||||
|
||||
User's `~/.claude/settings.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"permissions": {
|
||||
"allow": [
|
||||
"Bash(rm:*)", // <-- This allows rm without permission
|
||||
...
|
||||
],
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Solution Options
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Use `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` in Daemon Tests (Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Modify `createDaemonTestContext()` or add a new function for permission tests:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
function useTempClaudeConfigDir(): () => void {
|
||||
// Same implementation as claude-agent.test.ts
|
||||
// Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before test starts
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// In permission test beforeAll:
|
||||
beforeAll(() => {
|
||||
restoreConfigDir = useTempClaudeConfigDir();
|
||||
});
|
||||
afterAll(() => {
|
||||
restoreConfigDir?.();
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Since the daemon runs in-process, `process.env.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` should work.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Use SDK's `allowedTools` Override
|
||||
|
||||
The Claude SDK has an `allowedTools` option that auto-allows specific tools. We could potentially use a combination of SDK options to override filesystem settings.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the SDK docs say `settingSources: []` (empty) creates "SDK isolation mode" where no filesystem settings are loaded. We could:
|
||||
1. Set `settingSources: []` to ignore user settings
|
||||
2. Provide explicit permission rules via SDK options
|
||||
|
||||
This would require changes to how `claude-agent.ts` configures the SDK.
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 3: Skip Tests When User Settings Conflict (Not Recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
Could detect if user has `Bash(rm:*)` in allow list and skip tests. This is fragile and doesn't actually test the permission flow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Fix
|
||||
|
||||
**Option 1** is simplest and most consistent with how `claude-agent.test.ts` already works:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a shared `useTempClaudeConfigDir()` utility in test-utils
|
||||
2. Use it in the Claude permission tests in daemon.e2e.test.ts
|
||||
3. Ensure the temp config has `ask: ["Bash(rm:*)"]` to force permission requests
|
||||
|
||||
The daemon runs in the same process, so setting `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` before creating agents should work.

||||

- **Done (2025-12-25 17:53)**: WHAT: Added E2E test in `packages/server/src/server/daemon.e2e.test.ts:823-901` that creates two agents, calls `listAgents()` to verify both appear, deletes one, and verifies only the remaining agent is returned. Also updated `listAgents()` in `packages/server/src/server/test-utils/daemon-client.ts:197-227` to compute current agent list by processing `session_state`, `agent_state`, and `agent_deleted` messages. FIXED BUG: `packages/server/src/server/test-utils/daemon-client.ts:143-197` - `createAgent()` was not using `skipQueueBefore` option, causing second agent creation to match stale messages from the first agent. Fix: track queue position before sending request and only check new messages. RESULT: Test passes - listAgents correctly reflects agents after create/delete operations. EVIDENCE: `npm run test --workspace=@paseo/server -- daemon.e2e.test.ts -t "listAgents"` (1 passed, 11 skipped in 254ms).
