📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded per-bot human-control state, authenticated control APIs, proxy gating, help handoff, integration credential propagation, SSE updates, approval-scope handling, and computer-panel controls. Tests cover state transitions, authorization, MCP interception, timeout handling, and API behavior. ChangesComputer control handoff
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change adds human takeover and bot help requests, but the current implementation can leave the panel or takeover state stale, allow a host-local turn to continue after its computer mode changes, stall a bot when help notification fails, corrupt some MCP messages, or permit actions shortly after control is taken. These issues can cause unsafe computer interactions or stuck executions, so the PR should not merge until they are fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@server/computer-control.ts`:
- Around line 81-86: The requestHelp flow in ComputerControl must expire
timed-out help requests so the panel banner and stored reason are cleared when
the associated wait reaches its timeout. Add timeout ownership or a
request-scoped cancellation mechanism that removes only the matching help
request, while preserving newer requests and existing dismissal, release, and
deletion behavior.
In `@server/computer-proxy.ts`:
- Around line 813-816: Handle the boolean result of control.requestHelp in the
initial assistance path: when the request is attempted and returns false, return
immediately instead of entering the control wait. Preserve the existing behavior
when initial.held is true and when the help request succeeds.
In `@server/mcp-bridge.test.ts`:
- Around line 183-195: Update the async ordering test around
createGateInterceptor to replace the fixed 80ms timeout with manually controlled
promises for the two isHeld calls. Resolve the first and second checks in
sequence, awaiting the interceptor’s queue drain after each resolution, then
assert the existing frame order.
In `@server/mcp-bridge.ts`:
- Around line 220-221: Update the action-gate state checks in
createGateInterceptor and the equivalent control.state() check in
computer-proxy.ts to request uncached state with the force-refresh argument,
preserving the existing fail-open behavior. Adjust computer-proxy.test.ts timing
or setup so the control-taken case validates refusal without relying on the
cached result.
- Around line 146-158: Update the chunk line-buffering logic around push and
flush to use a stateful UTF-8 decoder that preserves multibyte characters split
across Buffer chunks. Decode each chunk incrementally, flush the decoder before
processing remaining pending text, and add coverage for a non-ASCII character
split across chunks while preserving existing newline handling.

A bot mid-task on its computer had no way to hand the keyboard to the
person, and the person had no way to take it: opening the desktop viewer
while the bot kept clicking meant two sets of hands on one mouse.
The harness now keeps a per-bot who-is-driving record. The person takes
and releases control from the computer panel; while they hold it, every
computer action the bot attempts is refused — not queued, because a
queued click lands after the person has moved on. The bot's only verb is
computer_request_help: it can plead (with a notification and a panel
banner) and wait for the hand-back, but it can never take control or
clear a hold.
Enforcement lives where the actions flow: the box REST adapter refuses
in its own tools, and the Local VM / VPS stdio bridges gain an opt-in
line-level gate that answers tools/call with a refusal — the far side is
Cua Driver's own MCP server, which has no concept of a person holding
the wheel, so the refusal has to come from the near side. With no gate
configured the bridges stay byte-for-byte transparent. The gate fails
open on control-endpoint errors: pausing is cooperation between the
person and their own bot, not a security boundary, and a harness hiccup
must not brick every computer mid-turn.
Host CUA ("This Mac") is deliberately not gated — the person is at that
keyboard already, and Stop remains the way to halt a turn there.

What
A person can now take control of a bot's computer from the computer panel, drive it themselves, and hand it back — and the bot can ask them to.
computer_request_help(box adapter): the bot's one verb. It surfaces a plea — desktop notification ("Bot needs your hands") plus an amber banner in the panel with the reason — then blocks until you hand control back (or dismiss, or 10 minutes pass). On hand-back it returns "take a fresh screenshot before your next action," because the screen changed under your hands. The bot cannot take control or clear a hold; only the person can.How

Follows the existing card/button classes — screenshots on request (the panel needs a provisioned computer to render these states live).
