The Open picker has no way to open a project or file in px0, an open-source, browser-based IDE focused on code review, with Git and GitHub integration. This lets people inspect agent changes in px0 directly from T3 Code.

Registers px0 in the shared editor definitions and adds its [0] icon to the picker. It appears when the server discovers the installed px0 CLI and launches as px0 <path>, using the existing direct-path launcher. File targets, including path:line:col, are passed unchanged. No new dependency or launcher machinery is needed.

Notes:

  • px0 starts a local server and opens its UI in the browser. In px0 v0.1.4, each launch starts another server on the next free port; closing the browser tab does not stop it. Its CLI has no server-reuse option.
  • px0 has no configured SSH deep-link scheme, so it is not offered in remote-links mode. Mobile has no Open picker. Web and desktop share the picker, and this is independent of the selected agent provider.
  • Discovery uses the existing PATH and platform handling. Tests cover macOS and Windows PATH discovery and Linux discovery in ~/.local/bin outside PATH. These are launcher tests with platform overrides, not native runs on all three operating systems.

Validation on the upstream-based branch:

  • externalLauncher.test.ts: 39 passed, 1 skipped.
  • editorLabels.test.ts: 6 passed.
  • Targeted lint and contracts, web, and server typechecks passed.
  • Confirmed the installed px0 v0.1.4 CLI help. No new end-to-end browser verification was performed for this port.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Px0 as an editor option in the “Open in” picker. When available, it can be used to open files on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This adds a new px0 integration that is automatically offered when its CLI is installed and launches a detached local server/browser workflow with persistent server-side effects. It also changes fallback preferred-editor selection for some installations, so the behavior and lifecycle warrant human review.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 95ee8

Users may leave px0 servers running after closing their browser tabs. Add lifecycle guidance before merging, or accept this bounded risk as a follow-up.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 95ee8

Opening a project in px0 may leave a local IDE server running after its browser tab closes. Repeated opens could leave multiple project-serving processes active. No unauthorized access has been established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Enabling px0 can create persistent project-serving processes without a launcher-owned stop or reuse path. The security exposure of those processes depends on unverified px0 listener and access-control behavior.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Effective exposure is limited to hosts where px0 is installed and a launch is initiated, but a persistent px0 server could continue serving the opened project afterward. Its network reachability is unknown.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The server has a WebSocket RPC path for opening an editor, but the cited routing test does not establish its authentication, authorization, or path restrictions.
  • observed — px0 uses the same registered-command resolution as other editors; the px0 test expects a single path argument and no shell invocation. No px0-specific privilege or credential path was shown.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — If px0 behaves as described, repeated launches can leave multiple detached project-serving processes; closing a tab or reverting this registration supplies no demonstrated cleanup transition.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Verify px0's listener binding and access controls, and define how users can identify and stop servers left running after an Open action.

<Document px0's persistent process lifecycle.

The picker routes px0 through the shared detached launcher. Each selection can leave a px0 server running after its tab closes. The PR description discloses this behavior, but no user-facing README or documentation entry describes it. Add a short note that each launch creates a persistent local server and that users must terminate it explicitly when finished. Process reuse or termination is not required by the current editor contract.
