Problem

mobilecli sets no User-Agent on its cloud calls (rpc/rest.go set only Authorization and Content-Type), so it arrives at the fleet server as Go's default Go-http-client/2.0 — the same string as the autoscaler, /api/v1/_instances/poll, and every other Go client. There is currently no way to tell mobilecli usage apart from background infrastructure traffic in the access logs.

mobilewright already identifies itself (mobilewright/0.0.54 shows up cleanly on /api/v1/sessions); mobilecli should too.

Change

Every outbound request now carries mobilecli/<version>:

  • REST calls to the fleet server (rpc.RESTCall)
  • the /ws JSON-RPC websocket handshake (rpc.Dial)
  • the device-code login posts to /login/device/code and /login/device/token — also an account-creation entry point, so these are worth attributing

Version moves from server/server.go to a new utils/version.go, because the low-level rpc package cannot import server (server already imports rpc — that would be a cycle). utils is already a dependency of both. The release workflow's three sed lines move with it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Added consistent version identification across command-line output, server information, and release builds.
    • Added mobilecli version information to authenticated REST and RPC requests.
    • Authentication requests now include standardized request headers.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved release version handling across macOS, Linux, and Windows builds.
    • Enhanced validation of reported client versions in request handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change centralizes the release version in utils.Version and adds utils.UserAgent(). Authentication, REST, and WebSocket requests now send a versioned mobilecli/ User-Agent. Release workflows update the new version source.

Changes

Client identity and release versioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Centralized release version source
.github/workflows/build.yml, utils/version.go, cli/root.go, server/server.go
Release workflows update utils/version.go. CLI and server version reporting use utils.Version.
Authentication request headers
cli/auth.go
Device-code and token-polling requests use postJSON, which sets JSON content type and the versioned User-Agent.
RPC request headers and validation
rpc/rest.go, rpc/rpc.go, rpc/useragent_test.go
REST and WebSocket requests set the shared User-Agent. The test verifies the exact versioned value and reports response-write errors.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 838c1

This change adds a versioned mobilecli User-Agent to cloud authentication, REST, and WebSocket requests while centralizing release versioning. The current implementation and coverage show no remaining merge-readiness risk.

Comment thread rpc/useragent_test.go Outdated
mobilecli set no User-Agent, so every call it made to the cloud arrived as
Go's default "Go-http-client/2.0" — indistinguishable from the autoscaler,
internal pollers, and any other Go client in the fleet server access logs.
There was no way to tell mobilecli usage apart from background traffic.
mobilewright already identifies itself as "mobilewright/<version>".

Now every outbound request carries "mobilecli/<version>":

- REST calls to the fleet server (rpc.RESTCall)
- the /ws JSON-RPC websocket handshake (rpc.Dial)
- the device-code login posts to /login/device/code and /login/device/token,
  which are also an account-creation entry point

Version moves from server/server.go to utils/version.go so the low-level rpc
package can read it without an import cycle (server already imports rpc). The
release workflow's sed targets move with it.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0158BtCgN4kKrzzGdiy2nadf
- cli/auth.go: use http.NewRequestWithContext in postJSON (noctx)
- rpc/useragent_test.go: check the w.Write error (errcheck)
- rpc/useragent_test.go: assert the full mobilecli/<version> string rather
  than just the prefix, per review feedback

golangci-lint now reports no new findings against main, and drops the two
pre-existing client.Post noctx findings that postJSON replaced.
