What it does
Makes
forkpress remote clonefail faster and with a useful diagnostic when SSH/rsync cannot reach the remote site.The CLI now:
--ssh-keypath before startingrsyncrsyncstderr and classifies common failures: timeout, connection refused, permission denied, and bad remote pathssh ... 'test -f .../wp-load.php'command for verifying the target outside ForkPressRationale
A timed-out SSH port currently surfaces as raw
ssh/rsyncoutput followed byforkpress: rsync exited with exit status: 255. That hides the actual next step: confirm the host's SSH port/firewall/IP allowlist before debugging WordPress import or COW branching.Implementation
remote_clone_commandnow runsrsyncthroughCommand::output()so ForkPress can shape the error instead of losing context afterrsyncexits. The remote clone SSH helper addsConnectTimeout=10, and the error formatter includes the exact remotewp-load.phppreflight command with shell-safe quoting.Testing instructions
Checked locally:
cargo fmt --check FORKPRESS_RUNTIME_BUNDLE=/dev/null cargo test -p forkpress-cli remote_clone git diff --check
