chore(e2e): drop the Linux launcher patch for obsidian-e2e 0.13 - #2221
Conversation
obsidian-e2e 0.13.0 launches isolated Obsidian instances on Linux itself, on a private Xvfb display when there is no $DISPLAY, and keeps each instance's CLI socket in its private HOME. QuickAdd's patch of the installed runner and its `open` shim are no longer needed, so setup, resume and run-e2e stop applying and checking them.
On Linux the CLI socket follows XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which obsidian-e2e 0.13 sets only for the processes it starts. A bare `obsidian` call with HOME alone misses the instance. AGENTS.md drops its bare reload command (the `obsidian:e2e -- --reload` instruction covers it), the capture commands set both variables, and the suite recipes drop their HOME export: the e2e client already gets the instance's env from resolveObsidianEnvOptions.

I’m a rabbit hopping through the shell,
With runtime paths now set as well.
The old launch shim has left the trail,
Its patcher tests no longer prevail.
I nibble clover, pleased with this change.

On an existing installation where

The shim rejects normalopenarguments with status 2, so the systemopencommand remains broken.obsidian-e2e0.13.0 bypasses the bridge on Linux and launches/opt/Obsidian/obsidiandirectly, so this does not break the new E2E launch.Suggested fix

Why
obsidian-e2e 0.12 could only launch Obsidian through macOS's
open, so QuickAdd patched the installed runner on Linux to call a localopenshim. obsidian-e2e 0.13.0 launches Obsidian on Linux itself, on a private Xvfb display when$DISPLAYis unset. It also keeps each instance's CLI socket in its private home. This PR bumps to 0.13.0 and deletes the patch.What changed
obsidian-e2eto^0.13.0. Delete.agents/patch-obsidian-e2e-linux.mjs,.agents/obsidian-open, their unit tests, and their calls in.agents/setup,.agents/resumeand.agents/run-e2e.XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which 0.13.0 sets only in the processes it starts. The docs drop AGENTS.md's bareobsidianreload command, set bothHOMEandXDG_RUNTIME_DIRfor capture-instance commands, and drop the suite recipe'sexport HOME. The e2e client already gets the instance env fromresolveObsidianEnvOptions.Scope
opencall as 0.12.export HOMEin.agents/run-e2e, which the suite no longer needs. Removing it needs a macOS run.$DISPLAYset, the e2e app now opens on the real display. The shim always used Xvfb. Useenv -u DISPLAY .agents/run-e2eto keep it headless.Blast Radius
This touches agent tooling, test infrastructure, and docs only. Nothing ships in
main.js, so there is no release or migration impact. An Amp orb set up before this PR needs no new setup step.pnpm installpicks up 0.13.0, and setup already installed theobsidianCLI client, Xvfb and xauth that 0.13.0 needs.Verification
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, then.agents/run-e2e. 96 spec files passed and 2 were skipped (450 tests passed, 24 skipped). The parent shell still hadXDG_RUNTIME_DIRset. Teardown left no Obsidian or Xvfb processes and noxvfb-runtemp dirs. The same run on master (0.12.2 with the patch) failed 17 files, mostly on 5-second plugin reload timeouts. It also leaked anxvfb-run.*dir.quickadd:listwith the README's newHOMEandXDG_RUNTIME_DIRform. The oldHOME-only form got "The CLI is unable to find Obsidian". The suite recipe withoutexport HOMEpassed 2 specs.obsidian:e2e -- --reload quickadd:listreloaded the plugin and returnedok:true.pnpm run test,pnpm run build-with-lintandpnpm run checkpass.Note
Remove Linux launcher and bundle patcher for obsidian-e2e 0.13
.agents/obsidian-openand.agents/patch-obsidian-e2e-linux.mjs, and removes patch invocations plus launcher/patcher prerequisite checks from.agents/run-e2e,.agents/setup, and.agents/resume.XDG_RUNTIME_DIRto the capture HOME.Macroscope summarized efd7ab1.
