946ea03956 Fix macOS CI build and add macOS build instructions
Some checks failed
Build App / build-windows (push) Has started running
Build App / build-linux (push) Has been cancelled
Build App / build-macos (push) Has been cancelled
The macOS Gitea runner lacks Node.js, causing actions/checkout@v4
(a JS action) to fail with "Cannot find: node in PATH". Fixed by
installing Node.js via Homebrew before checkout and replacing all
JS-based actions (setup-node, rust-toolchain, rust-cache) with
shell equivalents.

Also adds macOS section to BUILDING.md covering Xcode CLI tools,
universal binary targets, and Gatekeeper bypass instructions.

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
Triple-C (Claude-Code-Container) is a Tauri v2 desktop application that sandboxes Claude Code inside Docker containers. It has two main parts: a React/TypeScript frontend, a Rust backend, and a Docker container image definition.
## Build & Development Commands
All frontend/tauri commands run from the `app/` directory:
```bash
cd app
npm ci # Install dependencies (required first time)
npx tauri dev # Launch app in dev mode with hot reload (Vite on port 1420)
npx tauri build # Production build (outputs to src-tauri/target/release/bundle/)
npm run build # Frontend-only build (tsc + vite)
npm run test # Run Vitest once
npm run test:watch # Run Vitest in watch mode
```
Rust backend is compiled automatically by `tauri dev`/`tauri build`. To check Rust independently:
```bash
cd app/src-tauri
cargo check # Type-check without full build
cargo build # Build Rust backend only
```
Container image:
```bash
docker build -t triple-c-sandbox ./container
```
### Linux Build Dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev libsoup-3.0-dev patchelf libssl-dev pkg-config build-essential
```
## Architecture
### Two-Process Model (Tauri IPC)
- **React frontend** (`app/src/`) renders UI in the OS webview
- **Rust backend** (`app/src-tauri/src/`) handles Docker API, credential storage, and terminal I/O
- Communication uses two patterns:
- `invoke()` — request/response for discrete operations (CRUD, start/stop containers)
- `emit()`/`listen()` — event streaming for continuous data (terminal I/O)
### Terminal I/O Flow
```
User keystroke → xterm.js onData() → invoke("terminal_input") → mpsc channel → docker exec stdin
docker exec stdout → tokio task → emit("terminal-output-{sessionId}") → listen() → xterm.js write()
```
### Frontend Structure (`app/src/`)
- **`store/appState.ts`** — Single Zustand store for all app state (projects, sessions, UI)
- **`hooks/`** — All Tauri IPC calls are encapsulated in hooks (`useTerminal`, `useProjects`, `useDocker`, `useSettings`)
- **`lib/tauri-commands.ts`** — Typed `invoke()` wrappers; TypeScript types in `lib/types.ts` must match Rust models
- **`components/terminal/TerminalView.tsx`** — xterm.js integration with WebGL rendering, URL detection for OAuth flow
- **`components/layout/`** — TopBar (tabs + status), Sidebar (project list), StatusBar
- **`components/projects/`** — ProjectCard, ProjectList, AddProjectDialog
- **`components/settings/`** — Settings panels for API keys, Docker, AWS
### Backend Structure (`app/src-tauri/src/`)
- **`commands/`** — Tauri command handlers (docker, project, settings, terminal). These are the IPC entry points called by `invoke()`.
- **`docker/`** — Docker API layer using bollard:
- `client.rs` — Singleton Docker connection via `OnceLock`
- `container.rs` — Container lifecycle (create, start, stop, remove, inspect)
- `exec.rs` — PTY exec sessions with bidirectional stdin/stdout streaming
- `image.rs` — Image build/pull with progress streaming
- **`models/`** — Serde structs (`Project`, `AuthMode`, `BedrockConfig`, `ContainerInfo`, `AppSettings`). These define the IPC contract with the frontend.
- **`storage/`** — Persistence: `projects_store.rs` (JSON file with atomic writes), `secure.rs` (OS keychain via `keyring` crate), `settings_store.rs`
### Container (`container/`)
- **`Dockerfile`** — Ubuntu 24.04 base with Claude Code, Node.js 22, Python 3.12, Rust, Docker CLI, git, gh, AWS CLI v2, ripgrep, pnpm, uv, ruff pre-installed
- **`entrypoint.sh`** — UID/GID remapping to match host user, SSH key setup, git config, docker socket permissions, then `sleep infinity`
- **`triple-c-scheduler`** — Bash-based scheduled task system for recurring Claude Code invocations
### Container Lifecycle
Containers use a **stop/start** model (not create/destroy). Installed packages persist across stops. The `.claude` config dir uses a named Docker volume (`triple-c-claude-config-{projectId}`) so OAuth tokens survive even container resets.
### Authentication
Per-project, independently configured:
- **Anthropic (OAuth)** — `claude login` in terminal, token persists in config volume
- **AWS Bedrock** — Static keys, profile, or bearer token injected as env vars
## Styling
- **Tailwind CSS v4** with the Vite plugin (`@tailwindcss/vite`). No separate tailwind config file.
- All colors use CSS custom properties in `index.css` `:root` (e.g., `--bg-primary`, `--text-secondary`, `--accent`)
- `color-scheme: dark` is set on `:root` for native dark-mode controls
- **Do not** add a global `* { padding: 0 }` reset — Tailwind v4 uses CSS `@layer`, and unlayered CSS overrides all layered utilities
## Key Conventions
- Frontend types in `lib/types.ts` must stay in sync with Rust structs in `models/`
- Tauri commands are registered in `lib.rs` via `.invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![...])`
- Tauri v2 permissions are declared in `capabilities/default.json` — new IPC commands need permission grants there
- The `projects.json` file uses atomic writes (write to `.tmp`, then `rename()`). Corrupted files are backed up to `.bak`.
- Cross-platform paths: Docker socket is `/var/run/docker.sock` on Linux/macOS, `//./pipe/docker_engine` on Windows
## Testing
Frontend tests use Vitest with jsdom environment and React Testing Library. Setup file at `src/test/setup.ts`. Run a single test file:
```bash
cd app
npx vitest run src/path/to/test.test.ts
```

# How to Use Triple-C
Triple-C (Claude-Code-Container) is a desktop application that runs Claude Code inside isolated Docker containers. Each project gets its own sandboxed environment with bind-mounted directories, so Claude only has access to the files you explicitly provide.
---
## Prerequisites
### Docker
Triple-C requires a running Docker daemon. Install one of the following:
| Platform | Option | Link |
|----------|--------|------|
| **Windows** | Docker Desktop | https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/ |
| **macOS** | Docker Desktop | https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/ |
| **Linux** | Docker Engine | https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ |
| **Linux** | Docker Desktop (alternative) | https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/linux/ |
After installation, verify Docker is running:
```bash
docker info
```
> **Windows note:** Docker Desktop must be running before launching Triple-C. The app communicates with Docker through the named pipe at `//./pipe/docker_engine`.
> **Linux note:** Your user must have permission to access the Docker socket (`/var/run/docker.sock`). Either add your user to the `docker` group (`sudo usermod -aG docker $USER`, then log out and back in) or run Docker in rootless mode.
### Claude Code Account
You need access to Claude Code through one of:
- **Anthropic account** — Sign up at https://claude.ai and use `claude login` (OAuth) inside the terminal
- **AWS Bedrock** — An AWS account with Bedrock access and Claude models enabled
---
## First Launch
### 1. Get the Container Image
When you first open Triple-C, go to the **Settings** tab in the sidebar. Under **Docker**, you'll see:
- **Docker Status** — Should show "Connected" (green). If it shows "Not Available", make sure Docker is running.
- **Image Status** — Will show "Not Found" on first launch.
Choose an **Image Source**:
| Source | Description | When to Use |
|--------|-------------|-------------|
| **Registry** | Pulls the pre-built image from `repo.anhonesthost.net` | Fastest setup — recommended for most users |
| **Local Build** | Builds the image locally from the embedded Dockerfile | If you can't reach the registry, or want a custom build |
| **Custom** | Use any Docker image you specify | Advanced — bring your own sandbox image |
Click **Pull Image** (for Registry/Custom) or **Build Image** (for Local Build). A progress log will stream below the button. When complete, the status changes to "Ready" (green).
### 2. Create Your First Project
Switch to the **Projects** tab in the sidebar and click the **+** button.
1. **Project Name** — Give it a meaningful name (e.g., "my-web-app").
2. **Folders** — Click **Browse** to select a directory on your host machine. This directory will be mounted into the container at `/workspace/<folder-name>`. You can add multiple folders with the **+** button at the bottom of the folder list.
3. Click **Add Project**.
### 3. Start the Container
Select your project in the sidebar and click **Start**. The status dot changes from gray (stopped) to orange (starting) to green (running).
### 4. Open a Terminal
Click the **Terminal** button (highlighted in accent color) to open an interactive terminal session. A new tab appears in the top bar and an xterm.js terminal loads in the main area.
Claude Code launches automatically with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` inside the sandboxed container.
### 5. Authenticate
**Anthropic (OAuth) — default:**
1. Type `claude login` or `/login` in the terminal.
2. Claude prints an OAuth URL. Triple-C detects long URLs and shows a clickable toast at the top of the terminal — click **Open** to open it in your browser.
3. Complete the login in your browser. The token is saved and persists across container stops and resets.
**AWS Bedrock:**
1. Stop the container first (settings can only be changed while stopped).
2. In the project card, switch the auth mode to **Bedrock**.
3. Expand the **Config** panel and fill in your AWS credentials (see [AWS Bedrock Configuration](#aws-bedrock-configuration) below).
4. Start the container again.

## The Interface
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TopBar [ Terminal Tabs ] Docker ● Image ●│
├────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Sidebar │ │
│ │ Terminal View │
│ Projects │ (xterm.js) │
│ Settings │ │
│ │ │
├────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ StatusBar X projects · X running · X terminals │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
- **TopBar** — Terminal tabs for switching between sessions. Status dots on the right show Docker connection (green = connected) and image availability (green = ready).
- **Sidebar** — Toggle between the **Projects** list and **Settings** panel.
- **Terminal View** — Interactive terminal powered by xterm.js with WebGL rendering.
- **StatusBar** — Counts of total projects, running containers, and open terminal sessions.
---
## Project Management
### Project Status
Each project shows a colored status dot:
| Color | Status | Meaning |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Gray | Stopped | Container is not running |
| Orange | Starting / Stopping | Container is transitioning |
| Green | Running | Container is active, ready for terminals |
| Red | Error | Something went wrong (check error message) |
### Project Actions
Select a project in the sidebar to see its action buttons:
| Button | When Available | What It Does |
|--------|---------------|--------------|
| **Start** | Stopped | Creates (if needed) and starts the container |
| **Stop** | Running | Stops the container but preserves its state |
| **Terminal** | Running | Opens a new terminal session in this container |
| **Reset** | Stopped | Destroys and recreates the container from scratch |
| **Config** | Always | Toggles the configuration panel |
| **Remove** | Stopped | Deletes the project and its container (with confirmation) |
### Container Lifecycle
Containers use a **stop/start** model. When you stop a container, everything inside it is preserved — installed packages, modified files, downloaded tools. Starting it again resumes where you left off.
**Reset** removes the container and creates a fresh one. However, your Claude Code configuration (including OAuth tokens from `claude login`) is stored in a separate Docker volume and survives resets.
Only **Remove** deletes everything, including the config volume and any stored credentials.
---
## Project Configuration
Click **Config** on a selected project to expand the configuration panel. Settings can only be changed when the container is **stopped** (an orange warning box appears if the container is running).
### Mounted Folders
Each project mounts one or more host directories into the container. The mount appears at `/workspace/<mount-name>` inside the container.
- Click **Browse** ("...") to change the host path
- Edit the mount name to control where it appears inside `/workspace/`
- Click **+** to add more folders, or **x** to remove one
- Mount names must be unique and use only letters, numbers, dashes, underscores, and dots
### SSH Keys
Specify the path to your SSH key directory (typically `~/.ssh`). Keys are mounted read-only and copied into the container with correct permissions. This enables `git clone` via SSH inside the container.
### Git Configuration
- **Git Name / Email** — Sets `git config user.name` and `user.email` inside the container.
- **Git HTTPS Token** — A personal access token (e.g., from GitHub) for HTTPS git operations. Stored securely in your OS keychain — never written to disk in plaintext.
### Allow Container Spawning
When enabled, the host Docker socket is mounted into the container so Claude Code can create sibling containers (e.g., for running databases, test environments). This is **off by default** for security.
> Toggling this requires stopping and restarting the container to take effect.
### Environment Variables
Click **Edit** to open the environment variables modal. Add key-value pairs that will be injected into the container. Per-project variables override global variables with the same key.
> Reserved prefixes (`ANTHROPIC_`, `AWS_`, `GIT_`, `HOST_`, `CLAUDE_`, `TRIPLE_C_`) are filtered out to prevent conflicts with internal variables.
### Port Mappings
Click **Edit** to map host ports to container ports. This is useful when Claude Code starts a web server or other service inside the container and you want to access it from your host browser.
Each mapping specifies:
- **Host Port** — The port on your machine (165535)
- **Container Port** — The port inside the container (165535)
- **Protocol** — TCP (default) or UDP
### Claude Instructions
Click **Edit** to write per-project instructions for Claude Code. These are written to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` inside the container and provide project-specific context. If you also have global instructions (in Settings), the global instructions come first, followed by the per-project instructions.
---
## AWS Bedrock Configuration
To use Claude via AWS Bedrock instead of Anthropic's API, switch the auth mode to **Bedrock** on the project card.
### Authentication Methods
| Method | Fields | Use Case |
|--------|--------|----------|
| **Keys** | Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Session Token (optional) | Direct credentials — simplest setup |
| **Profile** | AWS Profile name | Uses `~/.aws/config` and `~/.aws/credentials` on the host |
| **Token** | Bearer Token | Temporary bearer token authentication |
### Additional Bedrock Settings
- **AWS Region** — Required. The region where your Bedrock models are deployed (e.g., `us-east-1`).
- **Model ID** — Optional. Override the default Claude model (e.g., `anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0`).
### Global AWS Defaults
In **Settings > AWS Configuration**, you can set defaults that apply to all Bedrock projects:
- **AWS Config Path** — Path to your `~/.aws` directory. Click **Detect** to auto-find it.
- **Default Profile** — Select from profiles found in your AWS config.
- **Default Region** — Fallback region for projects that don't specify one.
Per-project settings always override these global defaults.
---
## Settings
Access global settings via the **Settings** tab in the sidebar.
### Docker Settings
- **Docker Status** — Connection status to the Docker daemon.
- **Image Source** — Where to get the sandbox container image (Registry, Local Build, or Custom).
- **Pull / Build Image** — Download or build the image. Progress streams in real time.
- **Refresh** — Re-check Docker and image status.
### Container Timezone
Set the timezone for all containers (IANA format, e.g., `America/New_York`, `Europe/London`, `UTC`). Auto-detected from your host on first launch. This affects scheduled task timing inside containers.
### Global Claude Instructions
Instructions applied to **all** projects. Written to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` in every container, before any per-project instructions.
### Global Environment Variables
Environment variables applied to **all** project containers. Per-project variables with the same key take precedence.
### Updates
- **Current Version** — The installed version of Triple-C.
- **Auto-check** — Toggle automatic update checks (every 24 hours).
- **Check now** — Manually check for updates.
When an update is available, a pulsing **Update** button appears in the top bar. Click it to see release notes and download links.
---
## Terminal Features
### Multiple Sessions
You can open multiple terminal sessions (even for the same project). Each session gets its own tab in the top bar. Click a tab to switch, or click the **x** on a tab to close it.
### URL Detection
When Claude Code prints a long URL (e.g., during `claude login`), Triple-C detects it and shows a toast notification at the top of the terminal with an **Open** button. Clicking it opens the URL in your default browser. The toast auto-dismisses after 30 seconds.
Shorter URLs in terminal output are also clickable directly.
### Image Paste
You can paste images from your clipboard into the terminal (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V). The image is uploaded to the container and the file path is injected into the terminal input so Claude Code can reference it.
### Terminal Rendering
The terminal uses WebGL for hardware-accelerated rendering of the active tab. Inactive tabs fall back to canvas rendering to conserve GPU resources. The terminal automatically resizes when you resize the window.
---
## Scheduled Tasks (Inside the Container)
Once inside a running container terminal, you can set up recurring or one-time tasks using `triple-c-scheduler`. Tasks run as separate Claude Code sessions.
### Create a Recurring Task
```bash
triple-c-scheduler add --name "daily-review" --schedule "0 9 * * *" --prompt "Review open issues and summarize"
```
### Create a One-Time Task
```bash
triple-c-scheduler add --name "migrate-db" --at "2026-03-05 14:00" --prompt "Run database migrations"
```
One-time tasks automatically remove themselves after execution.
### Manage Tasks
```bash
triple-c-scheduler list # List all tasks
triple-c-scheduler enable --id abc123 # Enable a task
triple-c-scheduler disable --id abc123 # Disable a task
triple-c-scheduler remove --id abc123 # Delete a task
triple-c-scheduler run --id abc123 # Trigger a task immediately
triple-c-scheduler logs --id abc123 # View logs for a task
triple-c-scheduler logs --tail 20 # View last 20 log entries (all tasks)
triple-c-scheduler notifications # View completion notifications
triple-c-scheduler notifications --clear # Clear notifications
```
### Cron Schedule Format
Standard 5-field cron: `minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week`
| Example | Meaning |
|---------|---------|
| `*/30 * * * *` | Every 30 minutes |
| `0 9 * * 1-5` | 9:00 AM on weekdays |
| `0 */2 * * *` | Every 2 hours |
| `0 0 1 * *` | Midnight on the 1st of each month |
### Working Directory
By default, tasks run in `/workspace`. Use `--working-dir` to specify a different directory:
```bash
triple-c-scheduler add --name "test" --schedule "0 */6 * * *" --prompt "Run tests" --working-dir /workspace/my-project
```
---
## What's Inside the Container
The sandbox container (Ubuntu 24.04) comes pre-installed with:
| Tool | Version | Purpose |
|------|---------|---------|
| Claude Code | Latest | AI coding assistant (the tool being sandboxed) |
| Node.js | 22 LTS | JavaScript/TypeScript development |
| pnpm | Latest | Fast Node.js package manager |
| Python | 3.12 | Python development |
| uv | Latest | Fast Python package manager |
| ruff | Latest | Python linter/formatter |
| Rust | Stable | Rust development (via rustup) |
| Docker CLI | Latest | Container management (when spawning is enabled) |
| git | Latest | Version control |
| GitHub CLI (gh) | Latest | GitHub integration |
| AWS CLI | v2 | AWS services and Bedrock |
| ripgrep | Latest | Fast code search |
| build-essential | — | C/C++ compiler toolchain |
| openssh-client | — | SSH for git and remote access |
You can install additional tools at runtime with `sudo apt install`, `pip install`, `npm install -g`, etc. Installed packages persist across container stops (but not across resets).
---
## Troubleshooting
### Docker is "Not Available"
- **Is Docker running?** Start Docker Desktop or the Docker daemon (`sudo systemctl start docker`).
- **Permissions?** On Linux, ensure your user is in the `docker` group or the socket is accessible.
- **Custom socket path?** If your Docker socket is not at the default location, set it in Settings. The app expects `/var/run/docker.sock` on Linux/macOS or `//./pipe/docker_engine` on Windows.
### Image is "Not Found"
- Click **Pull Image** or **Build Image** in Settings > Docker.
- If pulling fails, check your network connection and whether you can reach the registry.
- Try switching to **Local Build** as an alternative.
### Container Won't Start
- Check that the Docker image is "Ready" in Settings.
- Verify that the mounted folder paths exist on your host.
- Look at the error message displayed in red below the project card.
### OAuth Login URL Not Opening
- Triple-C detects long URLs printed by `claude login` and shows a toast with an **Open** button.
- If the toast doesn't appear, try scrolling up in the terminal — the URL may have already been printed.
- You can also manually copy the URL from the terminal output and paste it into your browser.
### File Permission Issues
- Triple-C automatically remaps the container user's UID/GID to match your host user, so files created inside the container should have the correct ownership on your host.
- If you see permission errors, try resetting the container (stop, then click **Reset**).
### Settings Won't Save
- Most project settings can only be changed when the container is **stopped**. Stop the container first, make your changes, then start it again.
- Some changes (like toggling Docker access or changing mounted folders) trigger an automatic container recreation on the next start.
