Module tower_remote 

Tower on another machine (SPEC_TOWER_TASK_MANAGER_PANE_2026_10_08.md §8.2): the host’s processes, sampled there by AgentMux’s helper (agentmux_remote::procs) and sent as one small frame per request.

• SSH: the helper connection file browsing already uses (remote::files): one serve --stdio per host, its install consent and idle close unchanged.
• WSL: the Linux helper this package ships, run inside the distribution straight from where it is installed (wsl.exe --cd <its folder> --exec ./agentmux-remote serve --stdio): nothing is copied in, no network.

Frames carry names, never command lines. A pane asks every couple of seconds while it is visible; two asking at once share a frame, so the CPU window isn’t halved.

Structs

WslHelper 🔒

Constants

REUSE_WITHIN 🔒

A second request within this of the last shares its frame.

STALE_SLOT 🔒

A slot unused this long is forgotten.

TOP

Rows per list (busiest, largest) a frame carries.

WSL_IDLE_CLOSE 🔒

A WSL helper nobody asked for this long is stopped.

Functions

is_local

Whether conn names this computer (no connection, local).

sample

A sample of conn’s processes. ask: where ssh’s prompts go (the pane that asked).

slot 🔒

The slot for key, made on first use. Slots whose frame has gone stale and that nobody holds are dropped as others are made, so the map stays as small as the set of machines being watched.

start_wsl 🔒

to_snapshot

A helper’s frame as the pane’s snapshot: a Host view, no tasks (a remote machine has no AgentMux panes to group by).

wsl_helper 🔒

The Linux helper running inside distro, started if it isn’t (also a WSL pane’s stats badge’s, blockstats.detail).

wsl_pool 🔒

wsl_target 🔒

The Linux helper target for WSL on this machine’s architecture.
