tunnel_common.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the tunnel_common.py helper module.
• This module contains shared tunnel provider helper classes and event parsing.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with tunnel_common.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• tunnel_common.py owns the runtime implementation.
• tunnel_common.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• TunnelHelper (no explicit base class)
  • notify_starting(self, label)
  • notify_url_ready(self, label, url)
  • notify_stopped(self, label)
• FlaredanticTunnelHelper (TunnelHelper)
  • build_tunnel(self)
  • start(self)
  • stop(self)
• Top-level functions:
• event_value(event)

Runtime Contracts

• Helper modules own reusable framework APIs and must preserve public callers unless all callers, tests, and docs are updated together.
• Update this file whenever public functions, classes, persistence behavior, path/security assumptions, side effects, or cross-module contracts change.
• Observed side-effect areas: tunnel state.
• Imported dependency areas include: flaredantic.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: callable, self._notify, self.notify_starting, self.build_tunnel, self.tunnel.start, self.notify_stopped, self.notify_callback, self.notify_url_ready, self.tunnel.stop.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve public helper APIs used by core code and plugins unless every caller is updated.
• Keep path, auth, secret, persistence, network, and subprocess behavior explicit and bounded.
• Prefer adding cohesive helper functions here only when behavior is reused across modules.

Verification

• Run targeted tests for changed helper behavior; run security regressions for auth, filesystem, WebSocket, tunnel, upload, or secret-handling helpers.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_tunnel_remote_link.py
