fix(tauri): forward deep-link URLs on Linux before CEF preflight exits secondary

[M3gA-Mind]

Summary

• Add app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs — Linux-only (#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]) Unix domain socket-based pre-CEF deep-link forwarder.
• Primary: binds $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/com.openhuman.app-deeplink.sock (fallback: /tmp/com_openhuman_app_deeplink_{uid}.sock) BEFORE cef_preflight::check_default_cache(). Queues any arriving URLs until setup() runs.
• Secondary (URL in argv): connects to the socket, writes the URL(s), and exit(0) — never reaching the CEF preflight.
• drain_pending_urls (called in setup() after deep-link plugin registration) drains the queue and installs a live handler that emits deep-link://new-url events to the AppHandle for all future arrivals.
• Socket RAII guard removes the socket file on clean exit/panic.

Problem

On Linux, openhuman:// OAuth callbacks launch a second OpenHuman binary with the URL as argv[1]. The secondary hits cef_preflight::check_default_cache() at lib.rs:2155 which detects the CEF cache lock held by the primary and calls std::process::exit(1) — before Builder::build() or Builder::setup() runs. The tauri-plugin-single-instance D-Bus forwarding and tauri-plugin-deep-link registration both live in setup(), so they never execute. The OAuth URL is silently dropped.

Windows already has a fix: the pre-CEF named-mutex guard at lib.rs:2092-2128 detects secondaries and forwards URLs before any CEF init. This PR applies the equivalent pattern to Linux using Unix domain sockets.

Solution

The fix inserts a guard at lib.rs lines 2152–2167 (between the Windows mutex guard and the CEF preflight). On Linux:

Secondary (URL in argv) ──> try_forward_deep_links()
                             ├── connect socket ──> write URL ──> exit(0)
                             └── no socket ──> becomes primary (rare: normal launch with URL in argv)

Primary ──> bind_and_listen() ──> listener thread
         ──> CEF preflight (passes)
         ──> Builder::setup() ──> drain_pending_urls() ──> emit events

Submission Checklist

• Tests: 4 unit tests in deep_link_ipc.rs (socket_path_uses_xdg_runtime_dir, socket_path_fallback_has_uid, extract_deep_link_urls_filters_correctly, round_trip_bind_connect_forward, no_primary_returns_appropriate_result)
• Diff coverage ≥ 80% — socket path logic, URL extraction, and round-trip forwarding covered; cargo check clean
• Coverage matrix updated — N/A: Rust Tauri shell change, no new RPC surface
• No new external dependencies — uses nix (already a dep with user feature), url (already a dep), tempfile (already in dev-deps)
• Manual smoke checklist — N/A
• Linked issue closed via Closes #2359

Impact

• Tauri shell (Rust) only. No frontend changes, no core changes.
• Linux only — the entire module is #[cfg(target_os = "linux")].
• macOS: not affected by this PR. macOS routes openhuman:// via Apple Events to the already-running process (RunEvent::Opened) — no secondary binary is launched, so no CEF race exists.
• Windows: unchanged — the existing named-mutex guard already handles this correctly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Linux: Improved deep-link handling so secondary OAuth callback processes forward URLs to the primary instance reliably, preventing premature exits and ensuring callbacks are delivered.
  • Linux: Primary instance now reliably accepts and queues incoming deep-link URLs before startup completes, so links received early are delivered once the app is ready.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Linux-only Unix-socket IPC that forwards openhuman:// deep-link URLs from secondary instances to the primary before CEF preflight exits, provides a primary listener with RAII socket cleanup, queues arrivals until Tauri setup installs a live handler, and integrates forwarding into startup.

Changes

Linux deep-link IPC forwarding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Module doc, socket path, and URL extraction app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs	Module doc; socket_path() selects XDG_RUNTIME_DIR with UID-temp fallback; extract_deep_link_urls() filters argv for openhuman:// URLs.
Secondary instance forwarding app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs	try_forward_deep_links() extracts URLs, attempts Unix socket connect to primary, writes newline-delimited URLs with a write timeout, and returns Forwarded/NoPrimary/NoUrls.
Pending queue and live dispatch app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs	Global pending queue and live handler (OnceLock<Arc<Mutex<_>>>) with URL redaction and dispatch_url() that queues until a live handler is installed.
Primary listener, connection handling, and socket guard app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs	DeepLinkSocketGuard RAII cleanup; bind_and_listen() binds socket (probes/removes stale socket on AddrInUse) and spawns accept loop; handle_connection() reads newline-delimited lines with read timeout, filters openhuman://, and dispatches.
Live handler installation and draining app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs	drain_pending_urls() installs a Tauri emitter handler that parses url::Url and emits deep-link://new-url, then drains any queued URLs collected before setup.
Unit tests for socket/path/filter/forwarding app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs	Tests for socket_path() (XDG vs UID fallback), argv filtering, bind/connect forwarding roundtrip, and missing-primary connection failure.
Integration into app startup app/src-tauri/src/lib.rs	Adds Linux-only mod deep_link_ipc;, pre-CEF guard in run() that forwards or binds listener, and deep_link_ipc::drain_pending_urls(...) in setup() to install live handler and flush queued URLs.

Poem

🐰 I found a socket snug in XDG's shade,
argv-carried links hop there and are relayed.
From secondary's sprint to primary's door,
queued little URLs skip the preflight roar.
Hooray — callbacks land safe, and rabbits applaud! 🥕✨

In `@app/src-tauri/src/deep_link_ipc.rs`:
- Around line 115-117: The debug logs currently print full deep-link URLs (which
may include secrets); add a helper function named redact_url_for_log(url: &str)
-> String that parses the URL and strips query and fragment (falling back to
"<invalid deep link>"), then use that helper wherever URLs are logged: replace
direct uses in the pending_queue() lock block (the log! call that prints url),
and the other logging sites referenced (around the handlers at the locations you
noted) to log redact_url_for_log(&url) instead of the raw url string; ensure the
pushed value into the pending queue remains the original url (only redact for
logging).
- Around line 141-145: The unconditional std::fs::remove_file(&path) before
binding can delete a live socket from another instance; change bind_and_listen()
to first attempt UnixListener::bind(&path) and only if that fails due to
"address in use" try to probe the existing socket with
UnixStream::connect(&path) (or equivalent) to determine if a server is alive; if
connect succeeds, return a suitable ForwardResult/err indicating another
instance is active, and if connect fails (stale socket), then unlink the file
and retry UnixListener::bind(&path). Ensure you specifically update the code
paths around bind_and_listen(), UnixListener::bind, and the remove_file usage to
perform bind-first, probe-with-UnixStream::connect, then remove_file+retry only
when confirmed stale.

[M3gA-Mind]

Both CodeRabbit items addressed in commit f4bebd6:

1. Added redact_url_for_log() helper that strips query/fragment before logging — OAuth tokens no longer appear in log output.
2. Changed bind_and_listen() to bind-first: probes the existing socket with UnixStream::connect to distinguish live primary (skip) from stale socket after crash (remove+retry).

@graycyrus This Linux deep-link forwarding fix is also green and mergeable. It covers the Linux side of OAuth/deep-link delivery before CEF preflight exits a secondary instance (#2359). CodeRabbit approved/no actionable comments; please review/merge when you can.
