#!/bin/bash # triple-c-open — URL relay shim. # # Programs inside the container have no browser and no display. When one wants # to open a URL (`gh auth login`, `aws sso login`, `gcloud auth login`, any # tool that shells out to xdg-open or honours $BROWSER), this shim relays the # URL to the *Triple-C host*, where the user's real browser lives. Nothing is # rendered in the container — this is a message, not display forwarding. # # Transport: an OSC escape sequence written to the controlling terminal, the # same trick /usr/local/bin/osc52-clipboard uses for the clipboard. # # ESC ] 7777 ; open ; BEL # # It goes to /dev/tty, not stdout, so it still reaches the terminal when this # shim is a grandchild of something that captures its children's output (e.g. # Claude Code running `gh auth login` as a tool call). Triple-C's terminal # front-end registers an OSC 7777 handler, validates the URL and offers to open # it on the host. Terminals that don't know OSC 7777 silently discard it. # # Installed as: xdg-open, sensible-browser, www-browser, x-www-browser, # gnome-open, gvfs-open, kde-open, open — and as $BROWSER. # # NO-TERMINAL FALLBACK: cron-driven scheduled tasks (triple-c-task-runner) run # with no controlling terminal at all, and a container can be exec'd into from # a plain `docker exec` with no Triple-C front-end listening. There is no # handshake and nothing to wait for, so this shim never blocks: it prints the # URL in plain text on its own line and exits. A human reading the scheduler # log, or the operator at a foreign terminal, can still act on it. set -u PROGRAM_NAME="triple-c-open" MAX_URL_LENGTH=8192 # refuse absurd payloads rather than base64 them MAX_TARGETS=8 # refuse to fan out into a burst of relays usage() { cat < [url ...] Relays http/https URLs to the Triple-C host's browser via the terminal.
