Thought Process +**Simplifying remote worker startup** + +I'm focusing on modifying the Start-SheepItWorker function to skip complex controller and attachment logic, running the remote SheepIt worker interactively in the current SSH session instead. This will let us verify basic startup without persistence or reattach features, adapting Invoke-RemotePowerShell to run the remote script directly with output shown, while keeping other features disabled or "not available" for now.

Thought Process +**Preparing final message with code snippet**
 + +--- + +Reworked `Start-SheepItWorker` so option 1 simply launches the SheepIt client over SSH without waiting for controllers/metadata. We still reuse the rich remote script (downloads jar, forces OPTIX GPU, etc.), but now we just feed it directly to the host and stream its stdout/stderr in the same session. Exit codes are surfaced so you can see if the remote JVM bailed early. + +```562:573:unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1 +function Start-SheepItWorker { + param([object]$Worker) + Initialize-SheepItCredentials + $payloadScript = Get-RemoteSheepItCommand -RenderKey $script:SheepItRenderKey -Username $script:SheepItUsername + Write-Host "Starting SheepIt client on $($Worker.Name)..." -ForegroundColor Cyan + $exit = Invoke-RemotePowerShell -Worker $Worker -Script $payloadScript -Interactive + if ($exit -ne 0) { + Write-Host "SheepIt client exited on $($Worker.Name) with code $exit." -ForegroundColor Red + Write-Host "Review the remote console output above for details." -ForegroundColor Yellow + } + else { + Write-Host "SheepIt client finished running on $($Worker.Name)." -ForegroundColor Green + } +} +``` + +### What to do now +- Run the launcher and pick option 1.

Thought Process +**Analyzing SSH connection closure causes** +**Inspecting SSH argument and path handling** + +I’m checking how the SSH arguments handle `-t` flags and whether the remote script path syntax, especially with colons for Windows drives, might cause issues with SCP or SSH commands, and I’m also considering if a removed helper function could break quoting elsewhere.

+ + +--- + +
Thought Process +**Planning remote script execution fixes** + +I'm working through why the remote script run via SSH closes immediately with no output; I’m considering issues like SSH TTY allocation, PowerShell command quoting, missing Java on the remote PATH, and how the remote script is launched. To simplify, I’m leaning toward reverting to a streamlined approach that runs the script using a single interactive SSH call with a base64-encoded PowerShell command, bypassing file staging and persistent features, and updating the Start-SheepItWorker function accordingly.

 + +--- + +Tightened option 1 so it opens a single interactive SSH session and feeds the SheepIt script via `-EncodedCommand`, skipping the temp-file staging that kept disconnecting instantly. Launch again and you should now see the full remote console (download logs, Java output, errors) until you stop it with Ctrl+C.

Thought Process +**Analyzing remote PowerShell execution issues** + +I'm exploring why the remote exec request fails when running encoded PowerShell commands over SSH, considering quoting challenges, PTY allocation, and command interpretation differences on Windows. I’m leaning toward reverting to the prior approach that stages the script then runs it interactively with `Invoke-RemotePowerShell -Interactive` to avoid quoting pitfalls and ensure continuous remote output.

 + +--- + +That `exec request failed on channel 0` came from trying to run the whole PowerShell payload via `ssh … -EncodedCommand …`. Windows OpenSSH wraps the command in `cmd.exe /c`, and the base64 string was getting mangled before it ever reached PowerShell, so the server rejected the exec request. + +I’ve switched option 1 back to uploading the script to the remote host and running it with `powershell -File …`, but now we pass `-Interactive` through that path so the session stays attached to SheepIt’s console. Nothing else changed—this still launches the plain SheepIt client (no controller), it just avoids the broken inline exec. + +Give it another try: + +1.

Thought Process +**Analyzing remote SSH session closure and persistence** + +I'm piecing together why the SSH connection closes immediately despite GPU activity showing the Java worker still running remotely; it seems the SSH session ends when the remote script finishes or errors out, even though Java may run detached or under a controller. The user’s observation that disconnecting ends `sshd.exe` processes aligns with the fact that without a persistent controller or using Start-Process to detach Java, closing the session will terminate the worker. I want to clarify this behavior and recommend re-enabling the persistent controller mechanism (fixed for environment issues) to allow running workers that survive disconnects, as well as suggest capturing remote script output for better debugging and possibly using `ssh -tt` with interactive PowerShell to monitor live logs.
 + +--- + +Right now option 1 just opens a single SSH session, copies the SheepIt script over, runs it inline, and stays alive only as long as that SSH channel stays open. So yes—if the terminal disconnects, `sshd.exe` tears down that session and the Java worker goes with it. The brief “Connection to i9kf closed.” message is just OpenSSH telling you the channel exited; there’s no persistent worker in this path, so you’ll never get a stream you can reattach to. + +Since we already fixed the `%LocalAppData%` staging issue that originally broke the controller flow, the next step is to re‑enable the persistent controller + attach helper: + +- **Controllers** launch SheepIt via `Start-Process` on the remote host, keep metadata under `%LocalAppData%\UnifiedWorkers`, and survive SSH disconnects. +- **Attach helper** lets you hop in/out (`pause`, `resume`, `quit`) without killing the worker. + +I’ll wire option 1 back to the controller path and make sure the “Pause/Resume/Quit All” menus call into the attach helper. Once that’s done, the GPU job will keep running even if you close the local terminal, and you can attach later to watch logs or send commands. Let me know if you want me to proceed with that now. + +--- + +_**User (2025-12-01 19:23Z)**_ + +let's try it. + +--- + +_**Agent (model gpt-5.1-codex, mode Agent)**_ + +

Thought Process +**Improving exit code handling in remote scripts** + +I’m working through a tricky issue where remote PowerShell scripts output text that mixes with exit codes, causing failures in exit code checks because the returned value is an array with strings and numbers combined. To fix this, I’ll implement a helper function that extracts the actual exit code integer from potentially mixed or arrayed outputs, ensuring that thrown exceptions only happen on real failures. This will help robustness when remote script outputs progress or status messages alongside exit codes. +**Planning exit code resolver placement and usage** + +I’m deciding to place the `Resolve-ExitCode` helper close to `Invoke-RemotePowerShell` and update its callers to use it for robust exit code checking, replacing direct exit code checks with this parsed result. I’ll also consider suppressing unwanted progress output and run lints after adjustments to ensure smooth integration.

Thought Process +**Summarizing changes and next steps**
 + +--- + +The controller deployment actually succeeded—the remote script printed “Worker i9kf started under controller.” before returning 0—but our local wrapper was treating the combination of log text plus exit code as an error. I added a `Resolve-ExitCode` helper so whenever `Invoke-RemotePowerShell` returns an array (e.g., `["Worker…", 0]`) we peel out the last numeric value and only fail when it’s non‑zero. Controller, attach helper, and worker ensure now use that helper, so you’ll no longer see false failures just because the remote script talked to stdout. + +Give option 1 another shot on `i9kf`. You should see the controller logs, then “Controller ready…” and the attach stream. If anything still blows up, grab the new message (it’ll include the real non‑zero exit code now). + +--- + +_**User (2025-12-01 19:23Z)**_ + +==================================== + + UNIFIED SHEEPIT LAUNCHER + +==================================== + + + +Select a system: + +1. i9kf (ready) + +2. blender-boss (ready) + +3. max (ready) + +4. masterbox (ready) + +5. echo (ready) + +6. i9-13ks (ready) + +B.

Thought Process +**Analyzing metadata creation and wait failures** + +I'm digging into why the metadata file might be missing during the controller start, suspecting the controller script may fail before writing it. I see that metadata isn’t created until after the worker starts, so the Wait function times out if the worker launch is slow or fails. I plan to improve the controller script by writing initial metadata early—right after setting up directories—to ensure Wait detects it promptly. Also, fetching remote logs automatically when metadata is missing could help diagnose issues faster. This involves adding helpers to get remote paths and read log snippets, plus potentially enhancing `Invoke-RemotePowerShell` to capture output beyond exit codes for better diagnostics.

Thought Process +**Troubleshooting metadata path and script execution** + +I'm unpacking why metadata isn't appearing, thinking about possible path mismatches or permission issues remote-side, and wondering if the Wait function fails due to CLIXML or script execution quirks. I'm checking how scripts write and read metadata with respect to worker naming and access context. I’m curious if switching to process checks instead of metadata files might simplify the solution, so I plan to look into the remote_worker_attach script next.

+ + +--- + +
Thought Process +**Analyzing metadata file path and permissions** + +I'm examining why the metadata file isn't detected despite the worker running. There’s a complex interplay between user accounts, remote execution contexts, and environment paths like `%LocalAppData%`. I’m considering permission issues, process identity mismatches, file locks, and path inconsistencies due to environment virtualization or 32-bit vs 64-bit execution. To debug, I’m planning to add verbose logging of file paths and possibly adjust the workflow to rely less on metadata presence by handling attach errors more gracefully. Also, ensuring controller and wait scripts use a consistent base path by computing and passing the remote base path explicitly may resolve discrepancies. +**Improving metadata initialization and path consistency** + +I’m working on modifying the worker ensure script to explicitly create necessary directories and a minimal metadata file before starting the controller process. This way, the metadata file exists immediately, allowing the wait and attach steps to detect it faster. I’m also passing the computed remote base path as a parameter to the controller to ensure both use the exact same data root, avoiding path mismatches. These changes should fix the metadata detection issues by unifying path usage and guaranteeing early metadata presence.

Thought Process +**Noticing potential metadata delay**
 + +--- + +The launcher now seeds the worker metadata file itself before the controller even spawns. In the ensure script I add the `logs/` and `state/` folders, create `worker-info.json` with `Status = "launching"`, and pre-create the log/command files: + +```347:392:unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1 +`$logsRoot = Join-Path `$instanceRoot 'logs' +`$stateRoot = Join-Path `$instanceRoot 'state' +New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path `$logsRoot -Force | Out-Null +New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path `$stateRoot -Force | Out-Null +... +`$initialMeta = [pscustomobject]@{ + WorkerName = `$workerName + WorkerType = `$workerType + Status = 'launching' + ControllerPid = `$null + WorkerPid = `$null + ... +} | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5 +`$initialMeta | Set-Content -Path `$metaPath -Encoding UTF8 +``` + +Because the state file now exists immediately, `Wait-WorkerMetadata` should succeed and the attach helper can tail the log even while the controller is still starting. + +Please run the launcher again (option 1 → i9kf). You should see the controller ensure step, then “Controller ready. Attaching…”, followed by the controller log stream.

Thought Process +**Advising log and status verification** + +I'll explain that no output likely means the log is empty and suggest checking the worker.log on the remote host to verify if the worker started. I'll guide verifying the worker-info.json status and provide commands to inspect logs and running processes remotely, helping confirm whether the worker launched or is still pending.
 + +--- + +Good news: the controller/attach plumbing is working now. The launcher successfully: + +1. Deployed/started the controller (`#< CLIXML … Preparing modules…` is just PowerShell progress noise from those remote steps). +2. Detected the metadata file. +3. Launched the attach helper (“Attaching to i9kf (sheepit) logs …”). + +The reason you’re not seeing any log lines is simply that `logs\worker.log` doesn’t contain anything yet—the controller hasn’t printed output because the SheepIt payload hasn’t produced any (likely still downloading, or Java never launched). That’s why your commands (“resume”, “quit”) echoed as sent but nothing else appeared. + +Let’s grab the controller log and metadata so we know what state it’s in: + +1. SSH to `i9kf` (regular shell): `ssh i9kf`. +2. Dump the metadata status: + ``` + powershell -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-Content $env:LOCALAPPDATA\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\worker-info.json" + ``` + That will show `Status`, `WorkerPid`, and `LastExitCode`. +3. Tail the controller log: + ``` + powershell -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-Content $env:LOCALAPPDATA\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log -Tail 200" + ``` + If that file is empty, the worker never started; check `%LOCALAPPDATA%\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\controller.log` (if present) for launch errors. + +Send me those two outputs.

Thought Process +**Planning filtering of remote PowerShell output** + +I'm thinking through how to suppress unwanted CLIXML progress output during remote PowerShell runs over SSH by filtering the output locally. Since progress messages happen before scripts set preferences, setting environment variables early might help, but filtering lines starting with `#< CLIXML` and related XML tags on the client side seems more reliable. I'll implement helper functions in the PowerShell code to capture and filter SSH command output, ensuring important logs still show while silencing the noise. This approach will keep interactive commands untouched and only filter non-interactive runs, preserving exit codes and output handling.

Thought Process +**Addressing CLIXML output in remote PowerShell calls** + +I’m working on disabling progress output in remote PowerShell commands by setting `$ProgressPreference='SilentlyContinue'` and refining ssh call parameters to avoid CLIXML noise. I’m tracing where unexpected CLIXML lines still appear, suspecting direct ssh calls outside filtered wrappers—like in `Get-WorkerBasePath`—and planning helper functions to filter out CLIXML lines consistently from all remote outputs. This should clean the remote command logs so the user no longer sees confusing CLIXML artifacts.
