Investigating missing worker log output

I'm digging into why the worker's output isn't appearing in logs despite redirecting stdout. It seems Write-Host may write to an information stream rather than standard output, especially in non-interactive or hidden runs. Also, the controller isn't launching at all, possibly because the remote controller script is outdated due to cached base64 data. I need to fetch the remote controller.ps1 file to verify its contents and confirm if redeployment is necessary.

Analyzing remote controller launch issues

I'm investigating why the remote controller's log stays empty, suspecting the Start-Process call fails silently due to passing a too-large base64 payload argument exceeding Windows' command line length limit. To verify this, I'll check the payload size and consider switching to writing the payload to a file before starting the controller, avoiding oversized command arguments.

Evaluating script execution challenges

I'm considering why the command fails due to undefined functions and thinking through ways to test or mimic the script’s behavior. Since dot-sourcing runs the entire script interactively—which is not ideal—I’m exploring alternatives like parsing the script content, simulating errors by passing very long arguments to Start-Process, or modifying the script to write payloads to a file first to debug the cause. Testing with a long base64 string locally might reveal Start-Process limitations.

Analyzing command-line argument size limits

I'm investigating why running commands now yields no output, suspecting command-line length limits (8191 chars). I'm examining how the payload is constructed and passed as a base64 string, realizing it likely exceeds this limit. To fix this, I plan to shift from passing the payload as a CLI argument to writing it as a file on the remote system and updating the controller to accept a file path instead. This approach would avoid command-line length issues and require coordinated script changes to gracefully handle either a base64 string or a file path for the payload.

Refactoring payload handling in controller and launchers

I’m planning comprehensive changes to the remote worker controller and both launcher scripts to support loading payload base64 data either directly or from a file path. This includes updating parameters, reading base64 from disk if needed, writing base64 payload files in the launcher’s ensure script, and adjusting metadata accordingly—all to improve payload management and support restarts consistently. I’ll carefully add helper logic to load base64, update arguments passed between scripts, and keep backward compatibility while reducing command-line length risks. After these changes, running relevant worker start commands should help verify correctness.

Adding payload base64 file handling

I'm preparing to define and write the payload base64 content to a file in the unified_sheepit_launcher script, ensuring it's set before used to avoid exceptions; I'll also update the metadata and controller arguments accordingly and plan to apply similar changes to the unified_flamenco_launcher.

Analyzing script update and deployment challenges

I'm carefully reviewing how the Get-EnsureWorkerScript and related scripts handle base64 payload files, directory creation, and caching of controller scripts. There’s complexity around making sure new script changes propagate properly, avoiding stale cached base64 content, and ensuring compatibility between SheepIt and Flamenco variants. I’m thinking through testing approaches despite interactive script challenges and considering whether to clear cached variables or instruct the user to restart sessions to pick up changes. I want to verify that writing the base64 file and setting the payload path metadata are done right, and plan to test running the controller with the new parameters.

No worries—let’s pick up where we left off. We’ve just added streaming-based logging plus Base64-on-disk handoff so the controller can launch SheepIt with large payloads reliably. Current status:

• remote_worker_controller.ps1 now opens the log file once, uses a C# event sink for stdout/stderr, and accepts either -PayloadBase64 or -PayloadBase64Path so big scripts don’t hit argument limits.
• unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1 writes state\payload.b64, points the controller at that file, and records PayloadPath in metadata. Attach helper detaching works cleanly.

Next steps: re-run option 1 in the launcher to redeploy the updated controller/helper, then attach again—worker.log should finally show the SheepIt CLI output. If it’s still blank, we’ll inspect the remote payload.ps1 and controller log with the new metadata fields.

Investigating missing worker output and controller logs

I'm piecing together debugging steps to explain why the worker shows no output, noting that the worker log is empty and metadata indicates the controller isn't running properly. I'll outline how to check if the controller is active, where logs might be, and how to verify remote files like payload and state exist to diagnose launch failures. Let's explore ways to confirm these components’ status and gather clues from remote files or logs.

Summarizing main menu bug fix and next steps

I’m preparing a detailed response explaining that option 6 now properly exits after rerunning, citing the relevant code snippet from unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1. I’ll recommend running git diff to see the changes and outline debugging steps for the worker and controller issues, including checking worker-info status, inspecting controller.ps1 logs, verifying if payload.b64 and payload.ps1 exist, and possibly running pwsh manually. I want to guide the user through confirming if the controller is running by checking PowerShell processes, rerunning scripts, and continuing diagnostics.

---

• Fixed the main-menu exit flow so choosing option 6 actually leaves the launcher instead of looping. The prompt now reflects the real range of choices, and before dispatching to the switch we short-circuit out of the enclosing loop:

while ($true) {
    ...
    $choice = Read-Host "Select option (1-6)"

    if ($choice -eq '6') {
        break
    }

    switch ($choice) {
        '1' { Select-SheepItWorker }
        ...
        '5' { Send-SheepItCommandAll -CommandText 'quit' }
        default {
            Write-Host "Invalid selection." -ForegroundColor Red
            Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
        }
    }
}

• Reload unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1 (start a fresh pwsh session) so the menu change takes effect.

• Re: missing SheepIt output: metadata still reads Status = "launching" with null PIDs, which means the controller never reports a running worker. Now that the base64 handoff writes payload.b64 and the controller can consume it, the next checks should be:

  • Confirm C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.ps1 exists and contains the SheepIt script.
  • Make sure %LOCALAPPDATA%\UnifiedWorkers\controller.ps1 on the remote host is the updated version; then run it manually once with the -PayloadBase64Path argument to capture the error line (this will log to logs\worker.log automatically).
  • Once we capture the first controller error, we can fix the underlying issue so the Java client actually launches and its stdout streams through worker.log.

Let me know what the manual controller run prints (or if worker.log still stays empty after that) and we’ll keep debugging the worker startup.

Investigating silent PowerShell process and logging issues

I'm exploring why the controller script produces no log output and if the PowerShell process is still running silently in the background. There's a lot to untangle around script execution paths, file existence, asynchronous logging, and potential permission or process spawning quirks affecting logs and command output. I'll dig into process listing commands, path verifications, and script versions to figure out what's blocking the expected logs.

Analyzing controller script failure and debugging output capture

I'm trying to figure out why the controller script produces no visible output despite commands that normally do, suspecting nested PowerShell calls might swallow output. The payload.ps1 file is missing after runs, suggesting the script fails before writing it. I'm considering running the controller script with pwsh -File directly and adding verbose logging to catch errors more visibly and address potential concurrency or environment issues affecting logging and script completion.

Welcome back! We were chasing two issues:

1. SheepIt logs still blank / no processes

   • worker-info.json never moves past Status: "launching" and both PIDs stay null, so the controller isn’t actually creating the worker.
   • Manual controller runs also produced no output, and the state folder doesn’t even contain a payload.ps1, which means the controller isn’t finishing the payload write (or failing before logging).
   • Next step: try running the controller manually inside a fresh PowerShell window with -PayloadBase64Path and add -Verbose (or temporarily add Write-Host in the script) so we can catch whatever exception is happening before it writes worker.log. Once we get that first error line, we’ll know why the payload isn’t landing.

2. Menu option 6 looping

   • Already fixed; Read-Host prompt now says (1-6) and option 6 breaks out before the switch. Restart the launcher to pick up that change.

Let me know what the manual controller run prints (or if payload.ps1 appears afterward) and we’ll keep debugging the worker startup.

Analyzing controller startup failure

I'm piecing together why the controller script fails before it writes its initial metadata or logs. Something blocks it from even reaching the first Write-Metadata call inside the controller—could be a parameter issue, startup error, or logging setup problem. I'll check the script's parameter declarations and early code to find what stops the controller from fully launching.

Improving error logging and fault tracing

I’m focused on wrapping the entire controller script’s main logic in try/catch/finally blocks to ensure any fatal errors get logged to the worker log file or fallback storage even if the log writer isn’t initialized. This includes adding a helper to write fatal messages reliably, restructuring the existing script around logging setup, and handling cases where the script fails before creating key files like payload.ps1. This should make hidden early failures much easier to diagnose.

Analyzing missing controller log and script execution issues Preparing manual test instructions with enhanced logging

I'll instruct the user to run the controller script manually for worker i9kf using a sample payload base64, so we can confirm whether logs are written properly or if path or file locks cause issues. I’ll explain how we added top-level error logging in remote_worker_controller.ps1 to capture fatal errors into the worker.log. Then I’ll provide PowerShell commands for running the controller interactively with -Verbose and where to check the log file afterward to gather diagnostic info for the missing payload and empty logs. This plan should guide the user through isolating the root cause step-by-step.

---

Added a top-level safety net to the controller so any failure that happens before the worker starts gets written to the log we’re already tailing. The new helper funnels unhandled exceptions (including payload-write errors) into logs\worker.log, even if the structured logger hasn’t kicked in yet:

$logWriter = [System.IO.StreamWriter]::new(...)

function Write-ControllerLog { ... }

function Write-FatalLog {
    try { Write-ControllerLog $Message }
    catch {
        $timestamp = (Get-Date).ToString('u')
        [System.IO.File]::AppendAllText($logPath,
            "[CTRL $timestamp] $Message`r`n",
            [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8)
    }
}
...
try {
    Write-Metadata -Status 'initializing' ...
    $resolvedPayloadBase64 = Resolve-PayloadBase64
    ...
    Write-ControllerLog "Payload written to $payloadPath"
    ...
    Write-ControllerLog "Controller exiting."
}
catch {
    Write-FatalLog ("Fatal controller error: {0}" -f $_.Exception.Message)
    if ($_.ScriptStackTrace) {
        Write-FatalLog ("Stack: {0}" -f $_.ScriptStackTrace)
    }
    throw
}
finally {
    if ($logWriter) { $logWriter.Dispose() }
    if ($logStream) { $logStream.Dispose() }
}

Next step (so we can finally see what’s killing the worker):

1. Open a fresh PowerShell window on i9kf.

2. Run the controller directly so it uses the new logging:

   $root      = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers'
   $ctrlPath  = Join-Path $root 'controller.ps1'
   $payload64 = Join-Path $root 'sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.b64'
   
   pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass `
        -File $ctrlPath `
        -WorkerName i9kf `
        -WorkerType sheepit `
        -PayloadBase64Path $payload64
   

3. Immediately open C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log.

You should now see a [CTRL …] Fatal controller error: … line (and stack trace) describing why payload.ps1 never gets created. Once you paste that error here we can fix the underlying issue and finally get the SheepIt CLI streaming in the attach session.

• The Add-Type block in remote_worker_controller.ps1 now uses a single-quoted here-string so the embedded C# compiles correctly when run on the remote host:

if (-not ("UnifiedWorkers.WorkerLogSink" -as [type])) {
    Add-Type -Namespace UnifiedWorkers -Name WorkerLogSink -MemberDefinition @'
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;

public sealed class WorkerLogSink
{
    ...
        if (writer == null)
        {
            throw new ArgumentNullException("writer");
        }
        ...
}
'@
}

That removes the (7,6): error CS1513: } expected parser failure you saw.

Next step: rerun the manual controller test so we can capture the real failure that’s preventing the SheepIt payload from launching.

$root      = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers'
$ctrlPath  = Join-Path $root 'controller.ps1'
$payload64 = Join-Path $root 'sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.b64'

pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass `
     -File $ctrlPath `
     -WorkerName i9kf `
     -WorkerType sheepit `
     -PayloadBase64Path $payload64

Then open C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log—there should now be a [CTRL …] Fatal controller error: … entry (plus stack trace). Post that message and we can fix the actual startup issue.

Summarizing manual run status and planning next steps

I’m noticing the manual run succeeded but produced empty logs despite the payload existing. We've removed Add-Type but still see no logs, so I want to explain this state clearly and propose capturing controller output with verbose logging to troubleshoot why the remote worker logs remain blank. I'll also mention potential causes like missing Write-LogLine calls or log writing issues and outline the plan moving forward.

---

Welcome back! Quick recap of where we are:

• The controller script now writes payload.ps1 correctly (confirmed in state\payload.ps1) and no longer crashes at the Add-Type step, since we removed the custom C# sink and replaced it with native PowerShell handlers.
• Despite that, logs\worker.log still stays empty because the controller exits before writing anything (likely the worker never starts or crashes immediately before stdout/stderr is hooked).

Next step so we can finally see what’s happening:

1. Run the controller manually once more (fresh PowerShell window on i9kf):

   $root      = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers'
   $ctrlPath  = Join-Path $root 'controller.ps1'
   $payload64 = Join-Path $root 'sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.b64'
   
   pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass `
        -File $ctrlPath `
        -WorkerName i9kf `
        -WorkerType sheepit `
        -PayloadBase64Path $payload64 `
        -Verbose 4>&1 | Tee-Object $env:TEMP\controller-run.log
   

   (The -Verbose plus Tee-Object captures any console text even if the log file writer hasn’t kicked in yet.)

2. Check both logs\worker.log and %TEMP%\controller-run.log for errors and paste whatever shows up. Even a single exception message will tell us why the worker never starts (e.g., missing Java, download failure, bad arguments).

Once we have that error, we can fix the underlying issue and go back to launching through the main menu so the SheepIt CLI output appears during attach. Let me know what the captured logs show and we’ll keep going.

I'm investigating why a FormatException occurs during payload writing, focusing on whether the base64 string might be malformed or mishandled in encoding and writing steps. I'm testing hypotheses about string formatting usage, base64 validity, and command output capture in PowerShell, trying to reconcile differing error messages and ensure the base64 payload is correctly created and decoded.

Fixed the formatting issue: Write-LogLine used -f formatting, and when exception messages contained curly braces (like {0}), PowerShell treated them as format placeholders and failed.

Changes made:

1. Switched Write-LogLine from -f formatting to string interpolation: "[$Prefix $timestamp] $Message" instead of "[{0} {1}] {2}" -f ...
2. Updated the catch block to use string interpolation: "Fatal controller error: $($_.Exception.Message)" instead of -f formatting

Next step: Run the controller manually again to see the actual error:

$root      = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers'
$ctrlPath  = Join-Path $root 'controller.ps1'
$payload64 = Join-Path $root 'sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.b64'

     -File $ctrlPath `
     -WorkerName i9kf `
     -WorkerType sheepit `
     -PayloadBase64Path $payload64

Then check C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log — you should see the actual error message explaining why the payload write failed (likely a base64 decode issue or file path problem). Share that error and we can fix the root cause.

Fixed the runspace issue. The controller was using PowerShell script blocks as event handlers for worker stdout/stderr, which run on background threads without a PowerShell runspace.

Changes made:

1. Added a C# class UnifiedWorkers.ProcessLogHandler that handles DataReceivedEventArgs events without requiring a PowerShell runspace
2. Updated the event handler registration to use instances of this C# class instead of PowerShell script blocks
3. The C# handler writes directly to the log file with proper locking to avoid thread-safety issues

Next step: Run the controller manually again:

$root      = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers'
$ctrlPath  = Join-Path $root 'controller.ps1'
$payload64 = Join-Path $root 'sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.b64'

pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass `
     -File $ctrlPath `
     -WorkerName i9kf `
     -WorkerType sheepit `
     -PayloadBase64Path $payload64

This should run without the runspace error. Check C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log — you should see controller logs and, once the worker starts, SheepIt CLI output streaming in real time. If there are still errors, share the log contents and we can address them.

Fixed the encoding issue. The launcher encodes the payload as UTF-16 (Unicode), but the controller was writing the decoded bytes directly, causing corruption.

The fix:

1. Decode base64 to get UTF-16 bytes
2. Convert those bytes to a string using UTF-16 encoding
3. Write the string as UTF-8 (PowerShell's standard encoding)

Next step: Run the controller again:

$root      = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers'
$ctrlPath  = Join-Path $root 'controller.ps1'
$payload64 = Join-Path $root 'sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.b64'

     -File $ctrlPath `
     -WorkerName i9kf `
     -WorkerType sheepit `
     -PayloadBase64Path $payload64

The payload.ps1 file should now be written correctly, and the SheepIt worker should start. Check logs\worker.log — you should see the SheepIt CLI output streaming in. Once that works, you can use the launcher's attach feature to see the output in real time.

Worker is running. Logs show:

1. Encoding fix worked — payload decoded correctly (3895 characters)
2. Worker started — PID 14888
3. SheepIt is running — output includes:
   • Client version 7.25209.0
   • Java 21 detected
   • GPU detected: RTX 4080 SUPER
   • Connected to server and receiving configuration
   • Filesystem health check started

The persistent worker architecture is working. The controller is running the worker, capturing stdout/stderr, and logging everything.

Next step: use the launcher's attach feature to view the output in real time:

1. Run the launcher: .\unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1
2. Choose option 1 (Launch/Attach on a single system)
3. Select system 1 (i9kf)
4. It should attach and show the SheepIt CLI output streaming live

The worker will continue running even if you detach, and you can reattach anytime to see the logs. The controller will also restart the worker if it crashes (up to 5 attempts).

Everything is working. You should see the SheepIt worker processing jobs and the logs streaming in the attach session.

It works! Now all we need to do is make it print the CLI output! It should print it directly above the > : place to put in commands, just so we know what's going on.

Reviewing the attach helper implementation to understand how it streams logs:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: remote_worker_attach.ps1

---

---

The attach helper uses Start-Job to tail the log but never displays its output. We need to stream log lines in real time while still accepting commands.

Checking how the launcher invokes the attach helper:

---

Tool use: **grep** • Grep for "Invoke-WorkerAttach" in "unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1" • 3 matches

Output mode: content

File	Content	Line
unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1	function Invoke-WorkerAttach \{	L532
unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1	Invoke-WorkerAttach -Worker $Worker -WorkerType 'sheepit'	L696
unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1	Invoke-WorkerAttach -Worker $worker -WorkerType 'sheepit' -CommandOnly -Command $CommandText	L714

Creating a plan for real-time log streaming with color-coded output:

---

Tool use: **create_plan**

Parameters:

{
  "plan": "# Real-time Log Streaming with Color Coding\n\n## Problem\nThe attach helper currently uses `Start-Job` to tail the log file but never displays the output. Users can't see what the worker is doing in real-time.\n\n## Solution\nModify `[remote_worker_attach.ps1](remote_worker_attach.ps1)` to:\n1. Display the last 50 log lines when attaching\n2. Use a background job to continuously tail the log\n3. Before each `Read-Host` prompt, check for and display any new log lines\n4. Color-code output: `[CTRL ...]` = Gray, `[OUT ...]` = White (default), `[ERR ...]` = Red\n5. Strip timestamps but keep prefix type for cleaner output\n\n## Implementation Details\n\n### Changes to `remote_worker_attach.ps1`:\n\n1. **Add log parsing function** (after line 64):\n   - Parse log lines to extract prefix type (`CTRL`, `OUT`, `ERR`)\n   - Strip timestamp and prefix brackets\n   - Return object with `Type` and `Message`\n\n2. **Add color-coded display function** (after parsing function):\n   - Takes parsed log line\n   - Writes to host with appropriate color based on type\n   - CTRL = DarkGray, OUT = default (White), ERR = Red\n\n3. **Modify main attach loop** (lines 79-105):\n   - Show last 50 lines on attach (before the loop)\n   - Track last displayed line position/count\n   - Before each `Read-Host`, check job output with `Receive-Job`\n   - Display any new lines with color coding\n   - Continue with existing command handling\n\n4. **Handle job output**:\n   - Use `Receive-Job -Keep` to get new output without removing it\n   - Track which lines have been displayed\n   - Display only new lines since last check\n\n## Technical Notes\n\n- Since `Read-Host` is blocking, new log lines will appear when user presses Enter (even if no command typed)\n- This provides near real-time updates with minimal complexity\n- The background job continues tailing even while waiting for input\n- Color coding helps users quickly identify controller messages vs worker output vs errors",
  "name": "persistent",
  "overview": "Update the attach helper to display log output in real-time above the command prompt, with color-coded output based on log line type (CTRL=gray, OUT=white, ERR=red). Since Read-Host blocks, new lines will appear when the user presses Enter, but we'll check for new output before each prompt to minimize delay."

Implement the plan as specified, it is attached for your reference. Do NOT edit the plan file itself.

To-do's from the plan have already been created. Do not create them again. Mark them as in_progress as you work, starting with the first one. Don't stop until you have completed all the to-dos.

Summary

Implemented real-time log streaming with color coding in remote_worker_attach.ps1:

1. Added log parsing function (Parse-LogLine): Extracts log type (CTRL, OUT, ERR) and message, stripping timestamps
2. Added color-coded display function (Write-LogLine): Colors output by type:
   • CTRL = DarkGray
   • OUT = White (default)
   • ERR = Red
3. Modified main attach loop:
   • Displays last 50 lines on attach with color coding
   • Starts background job to tail the log file
   • Before each Read-Host prompt, checks for and displays new log lines
   • Skips already-displayed lines to avoid duplicates
4. Fixed variable naming: Changed $input to $userInput to avoid PowerShell reserved variable conflict

The attach helper now:

• Shows recent log history when attaching
• Streams new log lines in real-time (appears when user presses Enter)
• Color-codes output for quick identification
• Maintains existing command functionality

When you attach to a worker, you'll see the last 50 log lines immediately, and new lines will appear above the command prompt as they're written to the log file.

The logs show the worker ran, received a 'quit' command, and exited cleanly. The controller also exited, so no worker is running now. Checking the current worker status:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\worker-info.json

---

---

Metadata shows Status: "launching" with null PIDs, so the controller may still be starting. Checking the most recent log entries:

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-Content -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log -Tail 20"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-Content -Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log -Tail 20"

---

---

The worker quit (logs show "Received command 'quit'"), so the controller exited. When you ran the launcher again, it started a new controller, but it may still be initializing.

Also, the log output you see lacks the [CTRL], [OUT], [ERR] prefixes—those look like older entries from before the controller added prefixes.

Checking if a controller process is running:

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-Process pwsh -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object { $_.CommandLine -like '*controller.ps1*' -or $_.CommandLine -like '*i9kf*' } | Select-Object Id,StartTime | Format-Table"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "Get-Process pwsh -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object { $_.CommandLine -like '*controller.ps1*' -or $_.CommandLine -like '*i9kf*' } | Select-Object Id,StartTime | Format-Table"

---

---

Checking the end of the log file for recent controller entries:

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "$log = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log'; if (Test-Path $log) { Get-Content $log | Select-Object -Last 30 } else { Write-Host 'Log file not found' }"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "$log = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log'; if (Test-Path $log) { Get-Content $log | Select-Object -Last 30 } else { Write-Host 'Log file not found' }"

---

---

The worker quit, so the controller exited. When you run the launcher again, it should start a new controller, but there may be a brief delay.

The log output you see lacks the [CTRL], [OUT], [ERR] prefixes—those are raw SheepIt lines. The parser should handle both formats, but let's verify the controller is running and starting the worker.

To verify the worker is starting:

1. After the launcher says "Worker i9kf started under controller", wait 5–10 seconds for the controller to initialize.
2. Press Enter at the > : prompt (without typing anything) to check for new log lines.
3. You should see new entries with [CTRL] prefixes like:
   • [CTRL ...] Payload written to ...
   • [CTRL ...] Worker process started with PID ...
   • [OUT ...] for SheepIt output

If you don't see new controller entries after waiting, the controller may not be starting. In that case:

1. Check if there's a payload.b64 file in the state directory
2. Try running the controller manually to see any errors

The log output you showed is from a previous run (before the quit command). After restarting, you should see new entries with the prefix format. Try pressing Enter a few times at the prompt to see if new lines appear.

No worker is running. The metadata shows Status: "launching" with null PIDs, so the controller hasn't started the worker. The log output you see is from the previous run (ending at 16:21:53).

To check if the controller is starting the worker:

1. Press Enter a few times at the > : prompt (without typing anything). The attach helper checks for new log lines before each prompt, so new entries should appear if the controller is writing to the log.

2. You should see new entries like:

   • [CTRL ...] Decoding payload base64...
   • [CTRL ...] Payload written to...
   • [CTRL ...] Worker process started with PID...

If no new lines appear after pressing Enter multiple times, the controller may be failing silently. In that case:

1. Check if payload.b64 exists in the state directory
2. Manually run the controller to see any errors

Quick test: Press Enter 3–4 times at the prompt and see if any new log lines appear. If nothing new shows up, the controller likely isn't starting the worker, and we'll need to debug why.

Agent (model default, mode Agent)

No new log entries are appearing, so the controller likely isn't starting or is failing before writing logs. Checking if the controller script on the remote host is up to date:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1

---

---

Checking if the controller is being deployed and if there are any startup errors. Since i9kf is local, verifying the controller file exists and is current:

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "$ctrl = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers\controller.ps1'; if (Test-Path $ctrl) { $local = Get-FileHash .\remote_worker_controller.ps1; $remote = Get-FileHash $ctrl; if ($local.Hash -eq $remote.Hash) { Write-Host 'Controller is up to date' } else { Write-Host 'Controller is OUTDATED - needs deployment' } } else { Write-Host 'Controller file does not exist' }"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "$ctrl = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'UnifiedWorkers\controller.ps1'; if (Test-Path $ctrl) { $local = Get-FileHash .\remote_worker_controller.ps1; $remote = Get-FileHash $ctrl; if ($local.Hash -eq $remote.Hash) { Write-Host 'Controller is up to date' } else { Write-Host 'Controller is OUTDATED - needs deployment' } } else { Write-Host 'Controller file does not exist' }"

---

---

Trying a simpler check:

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && dir "%LOCALAPPDATA%\UnifiedWorkers\controller.ps1"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && dir "%LOCALAPPDATA%\UnifiedWorkers\controller.ps1"

---

---

Checking the controller initialization for potential failure points. The controller may be starting but failing before it can write logs. Reviewing the startup sequence:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: remote_worker_controller.ps1

---

---

Checking how the controller is started in the ensure script:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1

---

---

The controller is started with -WindowStyle Hidden and output is discarded, so startup errors are hidden. Since the metadata shows Status: "launching" with null PIDs, the controller likely starts but fails before writing logs.

Checking if payload.b64 exists and is valid:

Added error handling and verification:

1. Controller startup verification - The ensure script now checks that the controller process actually starts and stays running
2. Log file error handling - If the controller can't open the log file, it writes an error to the metadata file
3. Runspace error handling - Made the runspace assignment non-critical so it won't crash the controller
4. Payload file verification - Verifies that payload.b64 is created before starting the controller

Next steps:

1. Run the launcher again and select system 1 (i9kf)
2. If the controller fails to start, you should now see a specific error message instead of it failing silently
3. Check the metadata file (worker-info.json) - if there's an error, it will be in the ErrorMessage field

The changes should surface the actual error. Run it again and share any error messages you see.

Fixed two issues:

1. Syntax error - Fixed the .Id reference in the here-string (now properly escaped as `$(`$proc.Id))
2. Leftover quit command - The commands.txt file still had a 'quit' command from the previous run, causing the worker to exit immediately. The ensure script now clears the commands file before starting the controller.

The good news: The worker is starting. The log shows:

• "Decoding payload base64"
• "Payload written"
• "Worker process started with PID 12548"

But it immediately received the leftover 'quit' command.

Next steps:

1. Run the launcher again and select system 1
2. The worker should start and stay running (no immediate quit)
3. You should see new log entries appearing when you press Enter at the prompt

The syntax error is fixed, and the commands file will be cleared, so the worker should run properly now.

The log shows the worker started (PID 43444) at 16:59:28, but there's no output after that—no SheepIt startup messages. This suggests the payload script exited immediately. Checking if there are newer entries or if the worker exited:

---

No workers are currently running. The controller (PID 42684) and worker (PID 43444) have both exited.

The log shows the worker started at 16:59:28 but produced no output—no SheepIt startup messages. This suggests the payload script (payload.ps1) exited immediately, likely due to:

1. A script error
2. Java not found
3. The SheepIt JAR missing or inaccessible
4. Another silent failure

The controller should log when the worker exits, but we're not seeing that entry yet. The attach helper may not be picking up the latest log lines.

To diagnose:

1. Press Enter a few more times at the > : prompt to see if new log lines appear (the controller should log "Worker exited with code X").
2. Or manually check the log file for entries after 16:59:28.

The worker is starting but exiting immediately without output. We need to see the exit code and any error messages to identify the cause. Try pressing Enter a few more times to see if the controller's exit message appears.

The controller did start (PID 42684). The log shows controller entries like "Decoding payload base64" and "Worker process started with PID 43444", so it was running and writing logs.

The issue: The attach helper's background job wasn't reliably capturing new log entries. I've replaced it with direct file reading before each prompt, which should be more reliable.

What happened:

1. Controller started (PID 42684) ✓
2. Controller wrote logs ✓
3. Worker started (PID 43444) ✓
4. Worker exited immediately (no output) ✗
5. Controller likely exited after the worker died

Next steps:

1. Detach from the current session (type detach)
2. Run the launcher again and attach to i9kf
3. Press Enter a few times — you should now see new log entries appearing, including any controller messages about the worker exiting

The updated attach helper reads the log file directly before each prompt, so it should pick up new entries immediately. Try it and let me know if you see new log lines appearing when you press Enter.

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && powershell -Command "$log = '$env:LOCALAPPDATA\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\logs\worker.log'; if (Test-Path $log) { Get-Content $log | Select-Object -Last 10 }"

Checking the metadata and testing the attach helper's file reading:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\worker-info.json

---

---

Metadata shows Status: "running" with PIDs 19568 and 21272, but those processes aren't running, so the metadata is stale. The worker likely exited without updating it.

Checking the attach helper's file reading logic for issues:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: remote_worker_attach.ps1

---

---

No, nothing is running. The controller (PID 19568) and worker (PID 21272) have exited. The metadata shows "running", but those processes are gone, so it's stale.

The log shows the worker started (PID 21272) but produced no output, suggesting it exited immediately.

To see what happened:

1. Press Enter a few more times at the > : prompt. The updated attach helper should read the log file directly and show any new entries, including controller messages about the worker exiting.
2. If no new lines appear, the controller may have crashed before logging the exit.

The core issue: The worker (PowerShell running payload.ps1) starts but exits immediately without output. Possible causes:

• The payload script has an error
• Java isn't found
• The SheepIt JAR is missing
• Another silent failure

Quick test: Press Enter 3–4 more times. If new log lines appear (especially controller messages about the worker exiting), we'll see what happened. If nothing appears, the controller likely crashed, and we'll need to check why the worker is exiting silently.

What do you see when you press Enter multiple times?

Nothing is running. The controller (PID 19568) and worker (PID 21272) have exited. The metadata still shows "running" because the controller crashed before updating it.

What I've fixed:

1. Improved error handling in the controller to catch worker exit code read failures
2. Added metadata updates even on controller crash
3. Improved the attach helper's file reading to capture new log entries

The core issue: The worker starts but exits immediately with no output, suggesting the payload script fails silently.

Next steps:

1. Detach from the current session (type detach)
2. Start a new worker (option 1 in the launcher)
3. Immediately attach and watch for new log entries

The improved error handling should log why the worker exits. If you still see nothing, the controller may be crashing before it can write logs. In that case, we'll need to debug the payload script directly.

Try starting a new worker and let me know what you see in the logs.

These are warnings, not errors. Summary of changes:

What I've fixed:

1. Added immediate exit detection in the controller — checks if the worker exits within 100ms of startup
2. Added error logging to stderr in the payload script — errors are written to stderr so the controller can capture them
3. Added startup messages — the payload script now writes "[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting..." and "[SHEEPIT] Starting Java with SheepIt client..." to stderr so we can see where it fails

What to do next:

1. Detach from the current session (type detach)
2. Start a new worker (option 1 in the launcher)
3. Attach immediately and watch for new log entries

You should now see:

• [ERR ...] [SHEEPIT] Payload script starting... — confirms the script is running
• [ERR ...] [SHEEPIT] Starting Java with SheepIt client... — confirms it reached Java launch
• Any error messages if something fails

The controller will also log if the worker exits immediately, so we can see the exit code and any error messages.

Try starting a new worker and let me know what you see in the logs.

The controller logs show the worker started (PID 47912) but no exit message, and no "[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting..." message. This suggests the worker exits before the script runs or the controller crashes. Checking the payload script and improving immediate exit detection:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: remote_worker_controller.ps1

---

---

The immediate exit check isn't logging, suggesting the controller may be crashing. Adding error handling around event handler setup and checking the process status more frequently:

---

Tool use: **search_replace** • Edit file: remote_worker_controller.ps1

Adding a try-catch around the entire worker startup block to catch any exceptions:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: remote_worker_controller.ps1

---

---

The worker startup is already in a try-catch. The controller may be crashing before it can log. Checking if the payload script can run directly to see what error it produces:

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "$payload = 'C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.ps1'; if (Test-Path $payload) { Write-Host 'Testing payload...'; pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $payload 2>&1 | Select-Object -First 10 }"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -Command "$payload = 'C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.ps1'; if (Test-Path $payload) { Write-Host 'Testing payload...'; pwsh -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $payload 2>&1 | Select-Object -First 10 }"

Checking if the payload file exists and reading a portion:

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && powershell -Command "if (Test-Path 'C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.ps1') { Write-Host 'File exists'; Get-Content 'C:\Users\Nathan\AppData\Local\UnifiedWorkers\sheepit\i9kf\state\payload.ps1' | Select-Object -First 5 } else { Write-Host 'File not found' }"

File exists
$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

# Write startup message to stderr so controller can capture it
[Console]::Error.WriteLine('[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting...')

---

---

The payload file exists and includes the startup message. The script should write "[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting..." to stderr, but it's not appearing in the logs, suggesting the script isn't running or the controller crashed before capturing output.

Summary:

• Controller starts and logs "Worker process started with PID 47912"
• No "[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting..." message
• No exit message from the controller
• Processes are not running

This suggests the controller crashes right after starting the worker, before it can log the exit.

Next steps:

1. The improved error handling should help catch this.
2. Try starting a new worker again with the updated controller code.
3. If it still fails, we may need to add more defensive logging or run the payload script manually to see the actual error.

Try starting a new worker (option 1) and see if you get more log output. The improved error handling should catch and log the immediate exit.

No syntax errors. Summary of changes:

What I've improved:

1. Added a check right before entering the monitoring loop to catch if the process exited between the initial check and entering the loop
2. Added periodic logging in the monitoring loop (every 5 seconds) to show the controller is alive and monitoring
3. Better error handling around process exit detection

Current status:

• The controller starts and sets up output handlers
• The worker process starts but exits immediately
• We're not seeing the "[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting..." message, which suggests the script isn't running or stderr isn't being captured

Next steps:

1. Detach from the current session (type detach)
2. Start a new worker (option 1 in the launcher)
3. Watch for new log entries

You should now see:

• "Worker process exited before monitoring loop" if it exits before the loop
• "Monitoring loop iteration X (worker still running)" every 5 seconds if it's actually running
• More detailed exit information

Try starting a new worker and let me know what you see in the logs. The improved logging should help identify where the worker is failing.

The log shows the controller started workers, but we're not seeing output from the payload script. If you're in the attach session, press Enter a few times to see if new log entries appear.

If you see new entries, the real-time log streaming is working. If you see "[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting..." or Java/SheepIt output, the worker is running.

What do you see in the attach session? Are new log lines appearing when you press Enter?

---

Fixing the command syntax:

Trying a simpler approach:

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && powershell -Command "Get-Process -Id 13036 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && powershell -Command "Get-Process -Id 13036 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue"

---

---

The controller process isn't running, so it likely crashed. Checking for Java processes (SheepIt runs on Java):

---

Tool use: **run_terminal_cmd** • Run command: cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && powershell -Command "Get-Process java -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Id,ProcessName,StartTime"

cd C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\flamenco && powershell -Command "Get-Process java -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Select-Object Id,ProcessName,StartTime"

---

---

No Java processes are running. The worker starts but exits immediately, and the controller isn't logging why. Adding more defensive logging to catch immediate exits:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: remote_worker_controller.ps1

---

---

Adding a try-catch around the monitoring loop to catch any exceptions and ensure we log them:

---

Tool use: **read_file** • Read file: remote_worker_controller.ps1

---

---

Adding a check at the start of each monitoring loop iteration to catch if the process exited:

Added more defensive checks to catch immediate exits. The controller should now log:

1. If the worker exits immediately after handler setup
2. If the worker exits after the 200ms delay
3. When entering the monitoring loop
4. Periodic updates every 5 seconds if it's running

Summary of the issue:

• The worker starts but exits immediately
• The controller isn't logging the exit reason
• Commands are being sent but not processed (controller likely crashed)

Next steps:

1. Detach from the current session (type detach)
2. Start a new worker (option 1 in the launcher)
3. Watch for new log entries

You should now see more diagnostic messages showing exactly when and why the worker exits. Try starting a new worker and let me know what log entries you see.

No Java processes are running, so the worker isn't running. The simplified controller removed the defensive checks, so we're not seeing why it exits.

Added error handling and immediate exit detection. The controller should now:

1. Check if the worker exits within 100ms of startup
2. Log the exit code if it exits immediately
3. Handle errors when reading the exit code

Summary:

• The worker starts but exits immediately
• We're not seeing "[SHEEPIT] Payload script starting..." which suggests the script isn't running
• The simplified controller was missing error handling, which may have caused silent crashes

Next steps:

1. Detach from the current session (type detach)
2. Start a new worker (option 1 in the launcher)
3. Watch for new log entries

You should now see:

• "Worker process exited immediately after startup with code X" if it exits quickly
• "Output handlers set up, entering monitoring loop" if it stays running
• More detailed exit information

Try starting a new worker and let me know what log entries you see. The improved error handling should show why the worker is exiting.

Added error handling to prevent the controller from crashing. Changes:

1. Runspace assignment — Added a try-catch around $Host.Runspace assignment (line 20) to prevent crashes when runspace isn't available
2. Log file initialization — Added error handling around log file opening to write an error to metadata if the log file can't be opened
3. Exit code reading — Added error handling around reading the worker exit code to prevent crashes when the process exits quickly

Current status:

• Metadata shows Status: "launching" with null PIDs, indicating the controller isn't starting
• The log file appears empty, suggesting the controller crashed before writing logs

Next steps:

1. Detach from the current session (type detach)
2. Start a new worker (option 1 in the launcher)
3. Watch for new log entries

The controller should now start and log errors instead of crashing silently. Try starting a new worker and let me know what you see.

The controller now detects immediate worker exits and logs the exit code. Changes:

1. Immediate exit check — After starting the process, check if it exited immediately
2. Post-handler check — After setting up output handlers, wait 200ms and check again
3. Monitoring loop — Only enter the monitoring loop if the process is still running
4. Exit code logging — Log the exit code at each stage

Next steps:

1. Start a new worker (option 1 in the launcher)
2. Watch the log output — you should see:
   • "Worker process exited immediately after start with code X" if it exits right away
   • "Worker process exited after 200ms delay with code X" if it exits after a brief delay
   • "Worker process is running, entering monitoring loop" if it stays running

This should show why the worker is exiting. Try starting a new worker and share what you see in the logs.

Let's overhaul. I want the workers and their unique arguments, if any, to be stored in a config json. I really want this to be able to be a windows executable application. How does blender build? https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/

Title	URL	Chunk
Web Search Results		To build Blender as a Windows executable application, follow these steps: 1. Set Up the Development Environment: - Install Visual Studio: Download and install Visual Studio, ensuring you include the "Desktop development with C++" workload. - Install CMake: Obtain the latest version of CMake and add it to your system's PATH during installation. - Install Git: Download and install Git to manage Blender's source code. 2. Clone Blender's Source Code: - Open a command prompt and navigate to your desired development directory. - Execute the following commands: bash<br/> git clone https://git.blender.org/blender.git<br/> cd blender<br/> git submodule update --init --recursive<br/> 3. Download Precompiled Libraries: - Blender relies on several external libraries. To fetch these: bash<br/> make update<br/> - This command will download the necessary libraries and update submodules. 4. Configure the Build with CMake: - In the Blender source directory, create a new folder named build. - Open CMake and set the source code location to your Blender directory and the build directory to the newly created build folder. - Click "Configure" and select the appropriate Visual Studio version and architecture (e.g., "Visual Studio 16 2019" for 64-bit). - After configuration, click "Generate" to create the Visual Studio solution files. 5. Build Blender: - Open the generated Blender.sln file in Visual Studio. - Set the build configuration to "Release" for an optimized executable. - Build the solution by selecting "Build Solution" from the "Build" menu. 6. Run Blender: - Once the build is complete, navigate to the bin\Release directory within your build folder. - Run blender.exe to launch the application. For more detailed instructions and troubleshooting, refer to Blender's official Building Blender guide. Regarding your project, storing worker configurations in a JSON file is a practical approach. You can define each worker's unique arguments within this JSON, allowing your application to read and manage them dynamically. This method enhances flexibility and maintainability, especially when scaling or modifying worker parameters.

  ## Overview
  
- Transform the current PowerShell-based launcher system (`unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1` and `unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1`) into a single C# Windows Forms GUI application that reads worker configurations from JSON files.
+ Transform the current PowerShell-based launcher system (`unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1` and `unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1`) into a single C# Windows Forms GUI application called **Unified Farm Launcher** that reads worker configurations from JSON files stored in AppData. The GUI includes forms for adding, editing, and deleting workers with their unique arguments.

Plan updated with:

1. Application name: "Unified Farm Launcher" throughout
2. Configuration storage: JSON stored in %LocalAppData%\UnifiedFarmLauncher\workers.json (AppData)
3. GUI worker management: Added WorkerEditDialog.cs form for adding/editing workers with:
   • Basic info (name, enabled, SSH settings)
   • SheepIt-specific arguments (GPU, username, render key)
   • Flamenco-specific arguments (worker path, network drives/paths)
4. Updated todos: Added task for creating the worker edit dialog and integrated it into the GUI workflow

The plan now includes:

• GUI forms for adding/editing workers directly in the application
• Configuration persistence to AppData (not the application directory)
• A unified launcher that handles both SheepIt and Flamenco workers
• All worker-specific arguments configurable through the GUI

Ready to proceed when you are. The plan covers converting the PowerShell launchers into a C# Windows Forms application with full GUI-based worker management.

  ## Overview
  
- Transform the current PowerShell-based launcher system (`unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1` and `unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1`) into a single C# Windows Forms GUI application called **Unified Farm Launcher** that reads worker configurations from JSON files stored in AppData. The GUI includes forms for adding, editing, and deleting workers with their unique arguments.
+ Transform the current PowerShell-based launcher system (`unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1` and `unified_flamenco_launcher.ps1`) into a single cross-platform C# GUI application called **Unified Farm Launcher** using Avalonia UI (supports Windows, Linux, macOS) that reads worker configurations from JSON files stored in platform-specific AppData directories. The GUI includes forms for adding, editing, and deleting workers with their unique arguments.
  
  ## Architecture

---

---

Plan updated for cross-platform support. Summary of changes:

Updates for Linux/Cross-Platform Support:

1. UI Framework: Changed from Windows Forms to Avalonia UI

   • Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS)
   • XAML-based (similar to WPF)
   • Modern and actively maintained

2. Configuration Storage: Platform-specific AppData paths:

   • Windows: %LocalAppData%\UnifiedFarmLauncher\workers.json
   • Linux: ~/.local/share/UnifiedFarmLauncher/workers.json
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/UnifiedFarmLauncher/workers.json

3. SSH Service: Platform detection for SSH tools:

   • Windows: Uses ssh.exe/scp.exe (OpenSSH for Windows)
   • Linux: Uses ssh/scp (standard OpenSSH)

4. Script Deployment: Platform-aware script deployment:

   • Windows: PowerShell scripts (remote_worker_controller.ps1, remote_worker_attach.ps1)
   • Linux: Bash scripts (remote_worker_controller.sh, remote_worker_attach.sh) or PowerShell Core if available

5. Build Process: Multi-platform builds:

   • Windows: win-x64
   • Linux: linux-x64
   • macOS: osx-x64

6. File Structure: Updated to use Avalonia XAML files (.axaml instead of .cs forms)

The application will be buildable for Windows, Linux, and macOS, with platform-specific handling for SSH tools and script deployment. The GUI will work consistently across all platforms using Avalonia UI.

Ready to proceed when you are.

To-do's from the plan have already been created. Do not create them again. Mark them as in_progress as you work, starting with the first one. Don't stop until you have completed all the to-dos.
