24-62: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winAdd a saved-password SFTP fixture. The registered tests cover only passwordless
NetworkMounts.openSharepaths. The JavaScript tests cover only thekeylesspredicate and do not exercise dispatch. Add one fixture that activates a user-qualified SFTP place with a saved password, asserts that the credential helper receives it, and confirms that the unauthenticatedgio mountpath is not used. A regression in this branch would otherwise remain undetected.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 4 included reviews per hour; 2 remain after this review.
A saved sftp://user@host place could never be opened with a key: openShare
gated the mount on credentialed(uri), which is true for any such uri, so
with no password in the process map it raised "Enter the password to mount
this location." before gio was ever run. Typing one did not help either,
because flea-gio-auth exits 1 when a mount succeeds without ever asking.
gvfs's sftp backend is the ssh binary, not libssh, so a key, an agent and
ssh_config can authenticate it with no prompt at all. Mounts.keyless names
that, beside Mounts.credentialed in ui/js/Mounts.js where both are pure URI
predicates: credentialed says a password may be GIVEN, keyless says one may
not be NEEDED. An sftp place with no remembered password now takes the plain
"gio mount" leg, and the credential is asked for only after that attempt has
actually failed, through failMount's new missing argument so both routes into
the dialog are one behaviour. Measured against a real host wanting a
password: the failing attempt is 171 ms and exit 2, not a hang.
That check runs before the isBareRoot() listing branch, because a bare root
is the shape of a saved server root and a listing of a root gvfs could not
mount cannot authenticate either; with it below, a password-protected root
ended on the dead-end sentence with the prompt unreachable.
tests/network-keyless.{qml,sh} drive all three legs through real Process
instances: a passwordless place opens with no retryRequested, a refused path
and a refused server root both ask with exactly that sentence and no
password, and the credential helper is never launched. Stubbing keyless()
off, or moving the check below the bare-root branch, reddens the suite, and
five checks in tests/js/network.js cover the two predicates.

Merged as v0.3.1 (6433131) with your commit preserved: a saved sftp place tries a key first and asks for a password only after the mount is refused. Thank you. |

A saved
sftp://user@hostplace could never be opened with a key.The defect.
openSharegated the mount oncredentialed(uri), which is true for anysftp://...@, so with no password in the process map it setresult = "missing-credential"andraised "Enter the password to mount this location." before
giowas ever run — no key, noagent and no
~/.sshgot a hearing. Typing a password did not rescue it either: the credentialedleg runs
flea-gio-auth, and that helper exits 1 when a mount succeeds without ever asking, so akey that authenticated anyway came back as a refusal and
failMountthen forgot the password.Why sftp is the exception. gvfs's sftp backend is not libssh, it is the ssh binary — measured
on this box,
gvfsd-sftpexecsssh -oForwardX11 no … -l tom -s nas.test sftpunder a pty. So everything ssh cando without a password a Flea mount can do too: a key in
~/.ssh, an agent, andssh_config'sUser,HostNameandIdentityFile. smb, ftp and dav have no such source, which is why the splitis on the scheme and not on a preference.
The change.
Mounts.keyless()names that, sitting besideMounts.credentialed()inui/js/Mounts.jswhere both are pure URI predicates:credentialedsays a password may be GIVEN,keylesssays one may not be NEEDED. An sftp place with no remembered password now takes the plaingio mountleg, and the password is asked for only after that mount has actually failed, throughfailMount's newmissingargument so both routes into the dialog are one behaviour — samemissing-credentialresult, same sentence, same populated Retry, secret never forgotten.The extra leg is cheap and does not hang: against the real NAS with a user no key of ours
authorizes,
gio mount sftp://nosuchuser@nas.test/with stdin on/dev/nullandno tty exits 2 in 171 ms, printing
Authentication RequiredandPassword:.Tests. New
tests/network-keyless.qml+tests/network-keyless.sh(registered intests/run-all.sh) drive realQuickshell.Processinstances against a stubgiowhose plainmountsucceeds for one sftp place and exits 2 for another, asserting a passwordless place openswith no
retryRequested, a refused one asks with exactly that sentence and no password, and thecredential helper is never launched either way. Five checks in
tests/js/network.jscover the twopredicates. Stubbing
Mounts.keyless()toreturn falsereddens both, with the reported symptomverbatim:
NETWORK_KEYLESS FAIL retry=sftp://key@slot.test/home reason=Enter the password to mount this location. password= phase=1.Passing:
network-keyless,network-open-share,gio-auth,mount-listing,js(3093 checks),node tests/network-dialog-check.js(40),tools/flea-file-budget—ui/NetworkMounts.qmlstaysat 557 lines, its recorded length, so the budget gate holds.
tools/flea-qmllint-gatefailsidentically on pristine
origin/main(unused-imports 2, property-override 1), so that ispre-existing.
tests/ui.sh case_networkauthneeds a real window and is unrun; its credentialassertions all drive an
smb://row, which this does not touch.AGENTS.md gains "A public key mounts sftp, and a password is asked only after a mount has failed".
