All UI work — layout, color, typography, spacing, component selection, UX behavior — must follow [`docs/STYLEGUIDE.md`](./docs/STYLEGUIDE.md). Use the tokens defined in `src/renderer/src/assets/main.css` (the canonical source) and the shadcn primitives in `src/renderer/src/components/ui/`. Don't invent new color values, font sizes, or shadow tiers when a documented one already covers the role. When STYLEGUIDE.md is silent, follow the resolution order in its final section.
## Code Comments: Document the "Why", Briefly
When writing or modifying code driven by a design doc or non-obvious constraint, add a comment explaining **why** the code behaves the way it does.
Keep comments short — one or two lines. Capture only the non-obvious reason (safety constraint, compatibility shim, design-doc rule). Don't restate what the code does, narrate the mechanism, cite design-doc sections verbatim, or explain adjacent API choices unless they're the point.
The comment's audience is the next person reading that line, not a PR description. If a comment lists call sites, recounts the crash/history, or re-describes the code below it, cut it to the one non-obvious fact:
```ts
// 🚫 Over-explained — narrates the crash, the mechanism, where the helper lives, and every caller:
// Why: Worktree.displayName is typed non-optional, but persisted/discovered worktrees have reached
// the UI with an undefined name (crash 99657ab1), which made a bare displayName.localeCompare(...)
// throw a TypeError and take down whatever was sorting them. Lives in lib so every worktree sort
// site (sidebar board, Cmd+J switcher, right-sidebar, add-repo telemetry) shares one guard.
// ✅ Just the non-obvious constraint:
// Why: displayName is typed non-optional but arrives undefined at runtime (crash 99657ab1); coalesce so it can't throw.
```
## Concise/Brief Non-obviosu code comments ONLY
* Only when code is non-obvious, add code comment explaining **why** (not HOW).
* BE CONCISE — ideally 1 line.
## Lint Rules: Do Not Disable Max Lines

- **[Computer Use](https://www.onorca.dev/docs/cli/computer-use)** — Laissez les agents piloter des apps desktop et l'UI visible quand un workflow demande une vraie interaction.
- **[Notifications et non-lus](https://www.onorca.dev/docs/notifications)** — Sachez quand un agent termine ou a besoin d'attention, puis marquez des fils comme non lus pour y revenir plus tard.

# Design: Manual network address entry for Orca desktop mobile pairing
**Date:** 2026-06-27
**Scope:** Desktop renderer (Settings → Mobile → Network Interface section)
**Status:** Draft, awaiting user review
## Problem
`src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx` lets the user pick the network address that gets baked into the mobile-pairing QR code. Today the only options come from `networkInterfaces`, which is the list returned by the main process enumerating OS network interfaces (`en0`, `tailscale0`, etc.). If a user wants a tailnet address that the OS hasn't surfaced yet — a Tailscale MagicDNS hostname, a ZeroTier-assigned address not yet visible to the OS, or a manual LAN IP — they have no way to type one in. The QR ends up pointing at an interface the phone cannot actually reach.
## Decision summary
Replace the inner `Select` of `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection` with a `Popover + Command` ("combobox") pattern modeled on the existing `AgentCombobox`. The popover contains a single `CommandInput` that filters the auto-discovered interfaces above and renders a special "Use …" entry at the bottom of the list whenever the input is a valid IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname. Picking that entry selects a custom address; the trigger shows `<address> (custom)`. Custom addresses are session-scoped (cleared when the settings pane closes).
## Constraints (from `CONTRIBUTING.md` + `AGENTS.md`)
- Cross-platform: code paths must not assume a single platform; the manual entry path itself is platform-neutral.
- No `helpers`/`utils`/`misc` file names; use concrete names.
- No `eslint-disable max-lines`; split files instead.
- Prefer `.ts` over `.d.ts`.
- UI work follows `docs/STYLEGUIDE.md` and uses shadcn primitives from `src/renderer/src/components/ui/`.
- The renderer ↔ shared boundary is `src/shared/`; pure logic that may be reused outside the renderer goes there.
- Comments explain *why*, briefly.
## Files
| Path | Change |
| --- | --- |
| `src/shared/network/manual-address.ts` | **New.** Pure `parseManualNetworkAddress(input)` returning a discriminated union. |
| `src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts` | **New.** Vitest cases for IPv4 and MagicDNS hostname validation. |
| `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.ts` | Replace `mergeForSelect` with `buildComboboxEntries(interfaces, customAddress)` returning the entry list the UI maps over. |
| `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts` | Replace `mergeForSelect` tests with `buildComboboxEntries` tests. |
| `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx` | Swap `Select` for `Popover + Command`; add `open`/`query`/`customAddress` state. |
| `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx` | **New.** Render tests via `@testing-library/react`. |
No changes to: `mobile/app/pair-scan.tsx`, `MobilePairingQrSection.tsx`, `use-mobile-install-qr.ts`, or any main-process code. The QR generation pipeline already consumes `selectedAddress: string`, which is all the new flow produces.
## Module 1: `parseManualNetworkAddress`
```ts
// src/shared/network/manual-address.ts
export type ParseManualAddressResult =
| { ok: true; address: string }
| { ok: false; error: string }
export function parseManualNetworkAddress(input: string): ParseManualAddressResult
```
**Rules** (in order):
1. `input.trim()` must be non-empty. Otherwise `{ ok: false, error: 'Enter an IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname' }`.
2. Reject any input containing whitespace anywhere; reject any input longer than 253 chars (DNS hostname cap).
3. Accept if it matches the IPv4 grammar (four dotted octets, each 0–255). No leading zeros except for `0` itself.
4. Accept if it matches the Tailscale MagicDNS hostname grammar:
- Regex (case-insensitive): `/^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?)*\.ts\.net$/`
5. Otherwise return the same error as (1).
Pure function, no React, no I/O. Unit-testable in isolation.
## Module 2: `buildComboboxEntries`
```ts
// src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.ts
export type MobileNetworkInterface = { name: string; address: string }
export type ComboboxEntry =
| { kind: 'interface'; iface: MobileNetworkInterface }
| { kind: 'use-query'; address: string } // only emitted when current query is valid
export function buildComboboxEntries(
interfaces: readonly MobileNetworkInterface[],
query: string
): readonly ComboboxEntry[]
```
**Behavior:**
- Trim `query`; if empty, return only `kind: 'interface'` entries from `interfaces` (no `use-query`).
- If `query` is non-empty, behavior branches on `parseManualNetworkAddress(query)`:
- **Valid query:** skip substring filtering and keep every interface visible (so the user can pivot to an existing interface mid-typing). Emit each as `kind: 'interface'`.
- **Invalid query:** filter `interfaces` by case-insensitive substring match on `iface.address` OR `iface.name`. Emit each as `kind: 'interface'`. If the filter yields zero matches, fall back to the full `interfaces` list (so the user always sees the available options, never an empty list mid-typing).
- After the interface entries, if the query parsed as valid AND no emitted interface has an `address` exactly equal to `parsed.address`, append `{ kind: 'use-query', address: parsed.address }`. (Suppression happens regardless of whether filtering ran, because valid queries skip filtering entirely — the check is against the visible interface list, which for valid queries is the full list.)
- Order: interface entries first (stable, in input order — either filtered or the full list per the branch above), then the optional `use-query`.
- The `selectRefreshedNetworkAddress` function is **kept** unchanged — it's still the rule that decides the *initial* `selectedAddress` when no manual entry exists. The UI calls it on mount and on Refresh; afterwards, the combobox owns the selection.
## Module 3: `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection` UI
Outer JSX (header text, description, Generate QR button, Refresh button, Tailnet accordion) is untouched. Only the inner selection control is replaced.
**State:**
```ts
const [open, setOpen] = useState(false)
const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
const [customAddress, setCustomAddress] = useState<string | null>(null)
```
`customAddress` is the last value the user confirmed via the `use-query` entry. It is the "session-scoped" custom selection that the trigger displays with the `(custom)` label. It is reset when the settings pane unmounts (React unmount handles this automatically; no global store involved).
**Trigger:** A `Button` styled like the existing `SelectTrigger` (`min-w-[220px]`, `size="sm"`). Label uses the same `formatInterfaceLabel` helper:
```ts
function formatInterfaceLabel(iface: { name: string; address: string }): string {
return `${iface.address} (${iface.name})`
}
```
For the custom selection the rendered iface is `{ name: 'custom', address: customAddress }`, so the trigger shows `100.64.1.20 (custom)`.
**Popover body:** `Command` containing:
- `CommandInput` with placeholder `Search or type an address…` and `value={query}` / `onValueChange={setQuery}`.
- `CommandList` containing:
- `CommandEmpty` shown only when no interfaces match AND `parseManualNetworkAddress(query)` is invalid (i.e., truly nothing to pick).
- One `CommandItem` per `kind: 'interface'` entry from `buildComboboxEntries(networkInterfaces, query)`. `onSelect` calls `onSelectedAddressChange(iface.address)`, `setCustomAddress(null)`, `setQuery('')`, `setOpen(false)`.
- Optional visual separator (e.g., `CommandSeparator`) before the `use-query` entry.
- One `CommandItem` for `kind: 'use-query'` (only present when query is valid). Label: `Use "<query>"`. `onSelect` calls `onSelectedAddressChange(address)`, `setCustomAddress(address)`, `setQuery('')`, `setOpen(false)`.
**Controlled cmdk selection:** Copy the controlled-`commandValue` pattern from `src/renderer/src/components/agent/AgentCombobox.tsx` (imports `createAgentComboboxCommandState`, `resolveAgentComboboxCommandState`, `updateAgentComboboxCommandValue` from `@/components/agent/agent-combobox-command-state`, plus the `Command`, `CommandEmpty`, `CommandInput`, `CommandItem`, `CommandList` primitives from `@/components/ui/command`) so that hovering the footer doesn't leave a stale highlight on a list item. The exact state shape will be minimal — only one list, no footer-group complexity — so the borrowed helpers are sufficient. No new helpers are introduced in this design.
**Validation feedback:**
- When `query` is non-empty and invalid, render a one-line `text-xs text-statusRed` message directly below the trigger: `"Enter an IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname"`. Use the existing `statusRed` token from the theme to stay style-guide compliant.
- The `use-query` entry only appears when valid; no need to disable it.
**Refresh button:** Unchanged. Calls `onRefreshNetworkInterfaces`. The combobox re-renders with the new `networkInterfaces`; `query` and `customAddress` are preserved (user might be mid-typing).
**Generate QR button:** Unchanged. Disabled when `!selectedAddress`. No new branches.
## Data flow
```
networkInterfaces (prop, refreshed by parent)
│
▼
buildComboboxEntries(networkInterfaces, query)
│
▼
CommandList rows
│
▼ onSelect
onSelectedAddressChange(string) ─► parent re-renders MobilePairingQrSection
─► QR is regenerated with new endpoint
```
The parent of `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection` (whichever Settings tab owns it) already maintains `selectedAddress` and re-passes it down. This design does not change that contract.
## Edge cases
1. **Duplicate manual entry vs. existing interface** — `buildComboboxEntries` suppresses the `use-query` entry whenever the parsed query exactly equals an emitted interface's `address`. For valid queries the visible list is the full interface list (no substring filter runs), so the suppression check is against every interface, not just filtered ones. The user lands on the existing interface row instead of a duplicate.
2. **OS discovers the manual address later** — If `customAddress === '100.64.1.20'` and a refresh surfaces `100.64.1.20 (tailscale0)`, both are valid options; the user's selection stays. A future iteration may add a "merge" action; out of scope here.
3. **Empty `networkInterfaces`** — All-interface list is empty. If `query` is also empty, `CommandEmpty` shows. If `query` is valid, the `use-query` entry still appears so the user can type an address even when nothing is enumerated. The trigger shows `No interfaces found`.
4. **Manual address becomes unreachable at pair time** — Not handled here. The QR generation succeeds; `pair-scan.tsx` already surfaces "Cannot connect — same network?" on failure.
5. **Closing the popover with an invalid query typed** — `customAddress` and `selectedAddress` are unchanged. Next open starts with an empty `query`.
## Testing
**`src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts`**
- Accepts: `0.0.0.0`, `255.255.255.255`, `192.168.1.24`, `100.64.1.20`.
- Rejects: `''`, `' '`, `'1.2.3'`, `'1.2.3.4.5'`, `'256.0.0.1'`, `'01.02.03.04'` (leading zeros), `'192.168.1.24 '` (trailing space).
- Accepts MagicDNS: `my-mac.ts.net`, `my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net`, `a.b.c.d.ts.net`.
- Rejects MagicDNS: `my-mac` (no `.ts.net`), `my-mac.ts.com`, `-foo.ts.net`, `MY-MAC.TS.NET` is accepted (case-insensitive).
- Rejects anything > 253 chars; rejects whitespace anywhere.
- Pure unit tests; no React, no mocks.
**`mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts`**
- `buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], '')` returns two interface entries, no `use-query`.
- `buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], '100')` (invalid query) returns the tailnet interface only — substring filter on `100.64.1.20` matches `100` — and no `use-query` because the query did not parse.
- `buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], '100.64.1.20')` (valid query) returns both interface entries (valid queries skip substring filtering) AND suppresses `use-query` because the parsed address equals an existing interface's `address`.
- `buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], 'my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net')` (valid query) returns both interface entries (valid queries skip substring filtering) plus a `use-query` with the trimmed address.
- `buildComboboxEntries([], '1.2.3.4')` returns just `use-query`.
**`MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx`** (new)
- Open popover, type `100.64.1.20`, click `Use "100.64.1.20"` → trigger label becomes `100.64.1.20 (custom)`, query clears.
- Type `not-an-address` → error message renders, no `Use …` row.
- Type `192.168.1.24` (matches `en0`) → no `Use …` row; clicking the existing interface selects it as `en0`, not `custom`.
- Trigger label `No interfaces found` shown when `networkInterfaces` is empty and no manual selection.
## Out of scope
- Persistent storage of manual addresses across sessions (user explicitly chose session-scoped).
- IPv6, port suffixes, non-Tailscale hostnames (rejected by the parser).
- Mobile-side endpoint override (separate flow; see `mobile/app/pair-scan.tsx`).
- Main-process changes — the renderer has enough information already.
## Open questions for reviewer
1. Should the error message stay in English-only here, or get the same `translate('auto.…', 'fallback')` wrap as the rest of the section? Recommend: wrap it for consistency, since the rest of the component already uses `translate()`.
2. Should `customAddress` survive a "Refresh" click? Recommend yes — user might be mid-typing during a VPN reconnect. Confirmed in Edge case 5 above.
3. Should `CommandInput` accept paste of a multi-line string (e.g. user pastes `orca://pair?code=…`)? Recommend: no special handling; the existing trim+validate treats it as an invalid address and shows the error. Pair-URL paste remains the path through `pair-scan.tsx`.

# Agent Hook Stdin Lifecycle
## Problem
Orca installs agent hooks in global agent configuration, so a managed hook can
run in an Orca pane, an SSH/WSL runtime, a detached session, or an ordinary
terminal with no Orca environment. Hook runners write an event payload to the
child process's stdin after spawn.
The generated scripts currently inspect Orca environment variables before they
read stdin. When a guard exits first, the hook runner can still be writing to a
pipe whose reader has closed. POSIX reports `EPIPE`; Windows reports
`ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE`. The same failure exists when a managed launcher finds that
its script was removed or is no longer executable.
This is an ownership bug rather than an agent-specific parsing bug. Every
process that accepts a hook payload owns the read end until it reaches EOF,
including processes that decide the event is irrelevant.
## Goals
- Make successful hook no-ops consume stdin to EOF on macOS, Linux, Windows,
WSL, and SSH hosts.
- Encode stdin ownership once per platform instead of copying ad hoc drains
into every early-exit branch.
- Preserve payload bytes, hook output, transport timeouts, exit-code behavior,
and provider-specific event metadata on the forwarding path.
- Cover every generated script and missing-script launcher with behavioral
regression tests.
## Non-goals
- Do not redesign hook configuration schemas, endpoint discovery, relay HTTP
payloads, or event selection.
- Do not make hook payloads unbounded; existing agent and config timeouts remain
the outer lifecycle bound.
- Do not suppress failures from a script that exists and actually runs. Only a
deliberate no-op path exits successfully after consuming stdin.
- Do not change plugin-based integrations that do not receive piped hook stdin.
## Contract
1. A generated hook script consumes its input exactly once.
2. No whole-script success exit may occur before that consumption completes.
3. A launcher that declines to start a missing, unreadable, or non-executable
managed script becomes the stdin owner and drains to EOF before returning
success.
4. A launcher propagates the exit code of a managed script that was started.
5. Output required by an agent protocol may be emitted before stdin is read,
but the process must still retain the read end until EOF.
6. Drain commands are platform-qualified where the platform searches the
working directory implicitly.
## Design
### POSIX generated scripts
Capture stdin near the start of the generated script, after any protocol output
that must be immediate and before endpoint refresh, environment guards, or
provider-specific skips:
```sh
payload=$(cat)
if [ -z "$payload" ]; then
exit 0
fi
```
Antigravity is the one semantic exception: events without payload still post an
empty object, so its shared capture policy maps empty input to `{}` instead of
exiting. Claude's Devin-import skip happens after capture. Command Code captures
before ancestor/endpoint recovery so its comparatively expensive discovery
cannot leave the writer blocked.
The common payload-capture fragments live in
`src/main/agent-hooks/hook-stdin-contract.ts`. Templates choose the required or
empty-object policy instead of spelling the lifecycle independently.
### Windows batch generated scripts
Batch scripts stream stdin directly into system `curl.exe`; buffering arbitrary
JSON in an environment variable would corrupt metacharacters and hit size
limits. Their posting path therefore remains streaming.
All environment guard failures jump to one epilogue:
```bat
if "%ORCA_AGENT_HOOK_PORT%"=="" goto :orca_agent_hook_drain_stdin
...
exit /b 0
:orca_agent_hook_drain_stdin
"%SystemRoot%\System32\more.com" >nul 2>nul
exit /b 0
```
`more.com` is qualified because Windows searches the current working directory
for executables. Shared guard and epilogue builders keep labels and commands
identical across templates. Command Code's existing endpoint-discovery labels
remain subroutines and the drain epilogue is placed after them.
### PowerShell generated scripts
PowerShell captures with `[Console]::In.ReadToEnd()` before endpoint and
environment guards. Copilot then parses the captured value only on the posting
path. This mirrors POSIX ownership without starting an additional process.
### Managed launchers
- POSIX `/bin/sh` launchers require a regular, readable, executable file. The
rejected path drains with `cat`; the started-script branch keeps propagating
status.
- Encoded PowerShell launchers use `Test-Path -PathType Leaf`. A missing script
calls `[Console]::In.ReadToEnd()` and exits zero; an existing script preserves
`$LASTEXITCODE`.
- Codex's (and Antigravity's/Devin's) cmd fast path is the bare, directly
spawnable `.cmd` path. These agents launch the hook command as a program
(argv[0]), not through cmd.exe, so the launcher cannot lead with a cmd builtin
such as `if` — that argv[0] is unspawnable and fails every hook. A missing
script therefore surfaces a normal launch failure on this fast path; only
launchers that already require a real interpreter (encoded PowerShell, Git
Bash) drain a missing script. Paths cmd.exe cannot invoke verbatim fall back to
the encoded PowerShell launcher, which owns stdin for the missing case.
- Claude's Git Bash fast path uses a POSIX file guard and drain while continuing
to execute the `.cmd` directly rather than interpreting it as shell source.
- Agent-specific direct launchers, including Antigravity event wrappers and
Copilot's PowerShell-file command, adopt the same missing-file behavior.
## Data Flow
```text
hook runner spawns command
-> runner writes payload and closes stdin
-> launcher starts managed script
-> script consumes payload
-> refreshes endpoint / evaluates guards
-> posts or exits zero
-> OR launcher cannot start script
-> launcher drains payload
-> exits zero
```
Local, WSL, and SSH installs serialize the same POSIX template. Windows local
installs use the batch or PowerShell template. No host assumes another host's
path syntax or shell.
## Failure Semantics
- Missing Orca environment: consume input, exit zero, emit only protocol-required
output.
- Empty payload: consume EOF, then follow the agent's existing empty-event rule.
- Missing/unreadable/non-executable script: launcher consumes input and exits
zero.
- Endpoint parse/read failure: preserve the existing fail-open behavior after
stdin ownership has been satisfied.
- Existing script returns nonzero: propagate its status; do not drain again or
disguise the script failure.
- Hook runner never closes stdin: the existing config-level timeout terminates
the hook. Reading to EOF does not introduce an unbounded lifecycle beyond that
already required by normal payload parsing.
## Verification
Add one cross-agent lifecycle suite rather than per-service string-position
assertions.
- Generate every SSH-compatible POSIX managed script, spawn it with Orca
environment removed, write a payload larger than pipe buffers, and assert:
exit zero, no stdin error, and required protocol output remains valid.
- Exercise the Claude Devin skip independently because it is a second no-op
condition before endpoint forwarding.
- Exercise POSIX, encoded PowerShell, cmd.exe, and Git Bash missing-script
launchers with a large payload and verify zero write errors.
- On Windows CI, install and execute every local batch/PowerShell managed script
with missing Orca environment and a large payload.
- Keep structural assertions for shared batch guard/epilogue generation, but do
not use substring placement as the primary regression gate.
- Preserve existing successful-post, timeout, quoting, SSH install, WSL, and
nonzero-exit propagation tests.
For a macOS smoke test, launch the real Electron app with an isolated `HOME`
and `ORCA_DEV_USER_DATA_PATH`, record the launch time, then run:
```sh
node config/scripts/verify-agent-hook-stdin-lifecycle.mjs \
--home "$ISOLATED_HOME" \
--min-mtime "$LAUNCH_START_MS"
```
The verifier rejects stale files, then exercises the 12 POSIX scripts written
by that Electron launch with a payload larger than pipe buffers. It covers
successful no-ops, loopback forwarding without payload changes, required JSON
stdout, Claude's Devin skip, and both branches of the installed missing-script
launcher.
## Rollout And Compatibility
The generated scripts are rewritten by existing install/update flows, so no
config migration is needed. Commands use POSIX `sh` primitives, Windows inbox
executables, and PowerShell features available on supported Windows releases.
No Git behavior or provider-specific review behavior changes.
The change should ship atomically across templates and launchers. A partial
rollout would leave global hooks with platform- or agent-dependent pipe safety,
which is the inconsistency this design removes.

# Agent Session Resume Evidence for Sleep/Wake
Date: June 5, 2026
Scope: issue [stablyai/orca#1796](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/1796), current worktree code, installed agent CLIs on this machine, cloned open-source CLI repos under `/tmp/orca-agent-resume-research`, and official provider docs where available.
## Executive conclusion
Orca can implement one-click agent resume on wake, but it cannot use terminal PTY IDs, pane keys, tab IDs, or worktree IDs as the agent session ID. Those are Orca terminal identifiers. The required value is the provider's conversation/session/thread ID.
For several first-tier providers, the exact provider ID is available in hook payloads today, but Orca drops it during normalization:
- Claude: hook payloads include `session_id`; resume command is `claude --resume <session_id>`.
- Codex: hook runtime sends `session_id`; resume command is `codex resume <session_id>`.
- Gemini: hook payloads include `session_id`; resume command is `gemini --resume <session_id>`.
- Antigravity: hook payloads include `conversationId`; resume command is `agy --conversation <conversationId>`.
- OpenCode: Orca's managed plugin already reads OpenCode `sessionID`; resume command is `opencode --session <sessionID>`.
- Droid: hook payloads include `session_id`; resume command is `droid --resume <session_id>`.
- Grok: hook payloads include `sessionId`/`session_id`; resume command is `grok --resume <sessionId>`.
The current blocker is not primarily "how do we resume?" The exact resume action is to spawn a new agent process on wake in the same workspace/pane context using the provider-specific resume command. The blocker is that Orca's current hook event and status types have no durable provider-session field, so the ID is discarded before sleep.
## Current Orca behavior
Issue #1796 is accurate about current behavior. The issue says sleep loses agent type, session ID, last prompt, and resume command because `dropAgentStatusByWorktree` wipes rows before wake can offer resume.
Verified current code path:
- Sleep calls terminal shutdown with identifiers preserved, not provider conversation metadata. See `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/sleep-worktree-flow.ts`.
- `shutdownWorktreeTerminals(worktreeId, { keepIdentifiers: true })` preserves terminal IDs/layout wake hints, then calls `dropAgentStatusByWorktree(worktreeId)`. See `src/renderer/src/store/slices/terminals.ts`.
- `agentStatusByPaneKey` is explicitly documented as "Real-time only - lives in renderer memory, not persisted to disk." See `src/renderer/src/store/slices/agent-status.ts`.
- `WorkspaceSessionState` persists terminal/browser/editor/SSH state, including terminal layouts and remote relay PTY IDs, but no sleeping-agent records. See `src/shared/types.ts`, `src/renderer/src/lib/workspace-session.ts`, and `src/shared/workspace-session-schema.ts`.
- `AgentStatusEntry` has `state`, `prompt`, timestamps, `agentType`, pane/tab/worktree attribution, tool previews, assistant preview, and orchestration context. It has no provider session ID or resume command field. See `src/shared/agent-status-types.ts`.
The existing sleep persistence is terminal-resume metadata. The feature needs provider-conversation-resume metadata.
## Hook pipeline gap
The current local and SSH hook wire shapes drop provider IDs:
- `AgentHookEventPayload` in `src/shared/agent-hook-listener.ts` includes pane/tab/worktree, prompt cache fields, hook event name, Claude tool/subagent IDs, and normalized `payload`. It has no provider session ID field.
- `AgentHookRelayEnvelope` in `src/shared/agent-hook-relay.ts` mirrors that normalized shape for SSH. Its comment states the relay normalizes before sending the envelope. Therefore remote/SSH events lose provider IDs at the relay boundary too unless the new field is added to the shared envelope.
- `ParsedAgentStatusPayload` in `src/shared/agent-status-types.ts` includes only status fields: `state`, `prompt`, `agentType`, `toolName`, `toolInput`, `lastAssistantMessage`, `interrupted`.
Implementation implication: provider-session metadata must be extracted before normalization completes and must be carried through both the local HTTP path and the SSH relay path.

## Provider matrix
Legend:
- `Exact supported`: exact resume command and exact ID source are both verified.
- `Resume verified, ID capture missing`: CLI can resume, but current Orca hook path does not expose a durable exact ID.
- `ID seen, resume not verified`: Orca/source exposes an ID, but no exact resume CLI command was verified.
- `Out of current hook scope`: Orca has no current hook source for this TUI agent.
| Agent | Resume command evidence | Exact ID source evidence | Current Orca support status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Claude | `claude --resume <session_id>` verified by local `claude --help` and Anthropic CLI docs. | Claude hook docs show hook input includes `session_id` and `transcript_path`; current Orca normalizer drops `session_id`. | Exact supported after adding provider-session metadata extraction. |
| Codex | `codex resume <session_id>` verified by local help and cloned Codex source `codex-rs/utils/cli/src/resume_command.rs`. | Cloned Codex source `codex-rs/core/src/hook_runtime.rs` sends `session_id` on `SessionStart`, `PreToolUse`, `PermissionRequest`, and `PostToolUse` hook requests. | Exact supported after extraction. |
| Gemini | `gemini --resume <session_id>` verified by local help and Gemini docs. | Gemini hooks reference says all hooks receive `session_id` and `transcript_path`. | Exact supported after extraction. |
| Antigravity | `agy --conversation <uuid>` verified by local help and Antigravity docs. | Antigravity hook docs list `conversationId` as the active conversation UUID. | Exact supported after extraction. |
| OpenCode | `opencode --session <sessionID>` verified by local help, official docs, and cloned OpenCode TUI source. | Orca's OpenCode plugin already reads `event.properties?.sessionID` before posting. | Exact supported after preserving `sessionID`. |
| Droid | `droid --resume <sessionId>` verified by local help and Factory CLI docs. | Factory hooks reference includes `session_id`; Orca installs Droid hooks and already subscribes to `SessionStart`. | Exact supported after extraction. |
| Grok | `grok --resume <SESSION_ID>` verified by local help. | Orca already reads `sessionId`/`session_id` in `getGrokChatHistoryPath`, but only to locate chat history. | Exact supported after preserving that same ID. |
| Cursor | `cursor-agent --resume <chatId>` and `cursor-agent resume` verified by local help and Cursor docs. | Current Orca Cursor hook install deliberately omits `sessionStart`/`sessionEnd`; the subscribed event set does not currently prove a chat ID source. `cursor-agent create-chat` was locally verified to return a UUID, but preallocation for Orca launches still needs an end-to-end test before relying on it. | Resume verified, ID capture missing. |
| Pi | `pi --session <path|id>`, `pi --resume`, and `pi --continue` verified by local help and Pi docs. | Orca's bundled Pi/OMP extension posts status events but does not include session file path, session UUID, or session name in the status payload. | Resume verified, ID capture missing. |
| OMP | Same launch family as Pi in Orca. | Orca reuses Pi extension API shape and does not include exact session pointer. | Resume verified by inheritance only from Pi-like CLI contract; exact OMP ID capture missing. |
| Amp | Orca's managed plugin posts `threadId: event.thread.id`. | Amp is not installed locally, and no exact Amp CLI resume command was verified in this investigation. | ID seen, resume not verified. |
| Hermes | Orca's managed Hermes plugin selects `session_id` for session/LLM/tool events. | Hermes is not installed locally, and no exact Hermes CLI resume command was verified in this investigation. | ID seen, resume not verified. |
| Copilot | Orca installs broad Copilot hooks. | Local Copilot CLI not installed; no exact resume command or session ID contract was verified. | Not supported for exact resume yet. |
| Command Code | Orca installs hooks for `PreToolUse`, `PostToolUse`, and `Stop`. | Local Command Code CLI not installed; no exact resume command or session ID contract was verified. | Not supported for exact resume yet. |
| openclaude, autohand, aider, goose, kilo, kiro, crush, aug, cline, codebuff, continue, kimi, mistral-vibe, qwen-code, rovo, openclaw | Not investigated to exact-resume standard. | Not in `HOOK_SOURCE_BY_PATHNAME` today. | Out of current hook scope. |
## Exact resume behavior by provider
### Claude
Verified:
- Local `claude --help` shows `--continue`, `--resume [value]`, `--session-id <uuid>`, `--fork-session`, and `--no-session-persistence`.
- Anthropic CLI docs show `claude -r "<session-id>" "query"` and document `--resume` as resuming a specific session by ID.
- Claude hooks docs show hook input includes `session_id` and `transcript_path`.
Resume command:
```sh
claude --resume <session_id>
```
If Orca stores `lastPromptSummary` separately, it should not pass that summary as a new user prompt by default. The one-click resume action should reopen the prior conversation. Auto-submitting a summary would create a new turn.
### Codex
Verified:
- Local `codex resume --help` accepts `[SESSION_ID] [PROMPT]`, where the session target is a UUID or session name.
- Cloned Codex source `codex-rs/utils/cli/src/resume_command.rs` formats `codex resume <thread_id>`.
- Cloned Codex source `codex-rs/core/src/hook_runtime.rs` sends `session_id` on hook requests.
- Cloned Codex source has tests asserting resumed root sessions use the thread ID as session ID.
Resume command:
```sh
codex resume <session_id>
```
Avoid `codex resume --last` for this feature when an exact ID is available. `--last` can resume the wrong conversation if another Codex session ran after the slept workspace.
### Gemini
Verified:
- Local `gemini --help` shows `--resume`, `--session-id`, `--session-file`, and `--list-sessions`.
- Gemini official hooks reference states all hook input includes `session_id` and `transcript_path`.
- Gemini official configuration docs describe `--resume [session_id]` and state that a UUID can be supplied.
Resume command:
```sh
gemini --resume <session_id>
```
### Antigravity
Verified:
- Local `agy --help` shows `--continue` and `--conversation`.
- Antigravity conversation docs show `agy --continue` for most recent and `agy --conversation <uuid>` for a specific session.
- Antigravity hooks docs define common hook input `conversationId`.
Resume command:
```sh
agy --conversation <conversationId>
```
### OpenCode
Verified:
- Local `opencode --help` shows `--continue` and `--session`.
- Official OpenCode docs list `--session` as the session ID to continue.
- Cloned OpenCode source `packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/thread.ts` defines `--session` and passes it into TUI args as `sessionID`.
- Cloned OpenCode source `validate-session.ts` validates the supplied session ID through the OpenCode client.
- Orca's managed OpenCode plugin reads `event.properties?.sessionID`.
Resume command:
```sh
opencode --session <sessionID>
```
### Droid
Verified:
- Local `droid --help` shows `--resume [sessionId]`, `--fork <sessionId>`, and `--cwd`.
- Factory CLI docs list resume behavior and `droid exec -s <id>` for exec mode.
- Factory hooks reference says `SessionStart` has a `resume` matcher and hook input includes `session_id`.
Resume command:
```sh
droid --resume <session_id>
```
### Grok
Verified:
- Local `grok --help` shows `--resume [<SESSION_ID>]`, `--continue`, `--cwd`, and `--restore-code`.
- Orca already reads `sessionId`/`session_id` in `getGrokChatHistoryPath`.
Resume command:
```sh
grok --resume <sessionId>
```
### Cursor
Verified:
- Local `cursor-agent --help` shows `--resume [chatId]`.
- Cursor docs show listing prior chats with `cursor-agent ls`, resuming latest with `cursor-agent resume`, and resuming a specific conversation with `cursor-agent --resume="chat-id-here"`.
- Local help shows `cursor-agent create-chat` creates an empty chat and returns its ID.
- Running `cursor-agent create-chat` locally returned UUID `1fff2e62-9dd0-4cf3-9d8c-3569fea0aff7`, proving the command can preallocate a chat ID without an initial prompt.
Not verified:
- Current Orca Cursor hook install subscribes to `beforeSubmitPrompt`, `stop`, tool events, approval events, and `afterAgentResponse`, but intentionally does not subscribe to `sessionStart`/`sessionEnd`.
- I did not verify a current subscribed Cursor hook payload containing `chatId`.
- I did not run `cursor-agent --resume <chatId> <prompt>` because that would start a real agent turn and may make workspace changes.
Conclusion: exact Cursor resume is CLI-supported, but Orca currently needs either a verified hook payload chat ID or a launch preallocation strategy that is tested end to end.
### Pi and OMP
Verified:
- Local `pi --help` shows `--continue`, `--resume`, `--session <path|id>`, `--fork <path|id>`, `--session-dir`, and `--no-session`.
- Pi docs state `/resume` opens a picker and `pi -r` opens the same picker at startup.
- Orca's Pi/OMP extension posts status events from Pi's extension API, but the status events do not include session path, UUID, or session name.
Resume command:
```sh
pi --session <path-or-id>
```
Conclusion: exact Pi resume is CLI-supported, but current Orca capture is missing the exact pointer.
## What Orca should store
Store a durable record per sleeping agent pane, not per worktree only:
```ts
type SleepingAgentSessionRecord = {
id: string
worktreeId: string
tabId?: string
paneKey: string
connectionId: string | null
agentType: TuiAgent
providerSession: {
kind: 'session_id' | 'conversation_id' | 'thread_id' | 'chat_id' | 'path'
value: string
}
resumeCommand: {
argv: string[]
cwd?: string
}
lastPrompt: string
lastAssistantMessage?: string
capturedAt: number
retentionUntil?: number | null
}
```
Important constraints:
- `resumeCommand.argv` should be structured argv, not a shell string. This avoids cross-platform quoting bugs.
- Do not persist a terminal PTY ID as `providerSession.value`.
- For SSH, `cwd` and the command execute on the remote host. The provider session ID also belongs to the remote CLI's session store.
- For local workspaces, execute locally in the worktree path.
- For auto-resume, launch exactly one process per sleeping agent record and guard against double-click/duplicate wake races.
## Provider extraction map
This is the extraction map that is supported by the evidence above:
| Hook source | Provider session field(s) to extract | Resume argv |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `claude` | `session_id` | `['claude', '--resume', id]` |
| `codex` | `session_id` | `['codex', 'resume', id]` |
| `gemini` | `session_id` | `['gemini', '--resume', id]` |
| `antigravity` | `conversationId` | `['agy', '--conversation', id]` |
| `opencode` | `sessionID` | `['opencode', '--session', id]` |
| `droid` | `session_id` | `['droid', '--resume', id]` |
| `grok` | `sessionId`, fallback `session_id` | `['grok', '--resume', id]` |
| `amp` | `threadId` | not enabled until Amp resume command is verified |
| `hermes` | `session_id` | not enabled until Hermes resume command is verified |
## Required implementation shape
1. Add a provider-session metadata type to shared hook types.
2. Extract provider session evidence in `parseAgentHookEvent` from raw `hookPayloadRecord` before normalizing to `ParsedAgentStatusPayload`.
3. Carry it in `AgentHookEventPayload`.
4. Carry it in `AgentHookRelayEnvelope` so SSH does not lose it.
5. Store latest provider-session evidence by pane key alongside live agent status.
6. On sleep, snapshot the live agent status plus latest provider-session evidence before `dropAgentStatusByWorktree`.
7. Persist sleeping-agent records in `WorkspaceSessionState` and schema.
8. On wake, render sleeping resumable rows separately from active rows and launch the provider-specific structured argv when the user resumes.
9. Clear records on explicit worktree removal, not on sleep.
10. If the provider session no longer exists, let the provider CLI fail and surface that failure without deleting the record until the user dismisses it.
## Open questions that remain genuinely unverified
- Cursor: whether any currently subscribed Cursor hook payload carries `chatId`. If not, the only plausible exact strategy is preallocating a chat with `cursor-agent create-chat` at launch and starting/resuming that known chat. That needs an end-to-end test before productizing.
- Pi/OMP: whether the extension API can expose the current session file/path/UUID. Current Orca extension does not forward it.
- Amp: whether the Amp CLI has an exact thread resume command matching `threadId`.
- Hermes: whether Hermes has an exact session resume CLI command matching `session_id`.
- Copilot and Command Code: exact resume command and exact hook session field were not verified because the CLIs were not installed locally and no sufficient primary docs/source were found during this pass.
- Non-hook TUI agents: no exact support should be promised until Orca adds a hook/metadata capture path for each.

# Built-in Browser Local HTTPS and Certificate Trust
## Status
Implemented reference design for
[issue #8454](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8454).
The branch includes scheme-less local-dev URL classification, certificate-specific
failure copy, `Try HTTPS`, exact per-WebContents certificate grants,
`Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)`, local IPC, remote/headless runtime propagation, and
focused unit and real-Electron coverage. A session-level request gate contains
Chromium's cached certificate continuation so approval cannot leak to sibling
tabs, assets, fetches, iframes, or WebSockets. The release gates below remain
the acceptance contract for Electron upgrades and cross-platform validation.
## Summary
Orca's built-in browser cannot open a local HTTPS development server when the
server presents an untrusted certificate. A scheme-less local address also
defaults to HTTP, so entering `localhost:3000` does not discover an HTTPS-only
server.
This design keeps HTTP as the default for the scheme-less local forms that
already use it, adds a visible `Try HTTPS` recovery action after a failed local
HTTP navigation, and adds an explicit `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` path for an
untrusted local HTTPS certificate. Certificate approval is narrow and
temporary: it is bound to one browser WebContents, one secure endpoint, the
SHA-256 digest of the exact leaf certificate, and the specific certificate
error. A secure endpoint treats `https` and its companion `wss` scheme as one
TLS endpoint but still includes the canonical hostname and effective port. No
approval state is persisted.
The certificate decision runs in the process that owns the browser page. Local
desktop webviews use the desktop main process; SSH/headless pages use the remote
runtime process and expose the decision through runtime RPC.
## Problem
There are three independent behaviors behind the current failure.
1. `normalizeBrowserNavigationUrl` and the tab-create entry classifier prepend
`http://` to scheme-less loopback input. Explicit `https://` input is already
preserved.
2. Electron rejects an untrusted server certificate by default. Orca has no
`certificate-error` decision flow, so a self-signed development certificate
fails with a Chromium certificate error such as
`ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (-202)`.
3. Browser load errors are presented as generic connectivity failures. For a
loopback URL, Orca advises the user to check that the server is running even
when the server responded and only certificate verification failed.
The same trust limitation exists in the offscreen browser backend used by
headless and SSH-owned browser pages. A desktop-only handler would fix the
visible local webview while leaving remote browser ownership inconsistent.
## Goals
- Show certificate-specific failure copy for main-frame certificate errors.
- Let a user explicitly approve an untrusted local development certificate.
- Bind approval to the exact browser surface, secure endpoint, leaf certificate
digest, and certificate error.
- Keep approval in memory only and clear it with the owning browser surface.
- Support both desktop webviews and SSH/headless offscreen browser pages.
- Give scheme-less local input a discoverable path to HTTPS without silently
changing the existing HTTP default.
- Preserve the current browser sandbox, navigation allowlist, session profiles,
and mixed-content policy.
- Keep browser failure state accurate across event-order races, early webview
attachment, reload, stale user actions, and remote latency.
## Non-goals
- Do not automatically trust a self-signed certificate.
- Do not disable `webSecurity`, enable insecure mixed content, or add
`--ignore-certificate-errors`.
- Do not install a certificate into the operating-system trust store.
- Do not persist certificate exceptions across app restarts, browser surface
recreation, or session-profile changes.
- Do not default every scheme-less localhost URL to HTTPS.
- Do not automatically probe HTTPS and then downgrade to HTTP.
- Do not add a general-purpose exception flow for public websites in v1.
- Do not make every Chromium certificate error overridable in v1.
- Do not extend localhost worktree-label proxying to HTTPS targets.
## Product Decisions
### Scheme-less local input continues to use HTTP
`localhost:3000` remains `http://localhost:3000/`. HTTP is still the common
development-server default, and changing the inference globally would turn
working HTTP servers into certificate or TLS failures.
When an HTTP navigation to a loopback URL fails, the browser failure overlay
offers `Try HTTPS`. The action replaces only the URL scheme and preserves the
host, explicit non-default port, path, query, and fragment. An absent port, or
an explicit `:80` normalized away by the URL parser, becomes HTTPS's default
port 443. Orca does not automatically retry because an invisible
cross-protocol retry would add latency, send an unexpected second request, and
make downgrade behavior opaque.
Explicit input remains authoritative:
- `http://localhost:3000` stays HTTP.
- `https://localhost:3000` stays HTTPS.
- URLs advertised by a workspace process keep their advertised scheme.
The shared browser URL domain becomes the source of truth for the existing
scheme-less local-dev classification. The tab-create entry classifier calls
that shared logic instead of keeping a second regular expression and scheme
rule. This consolidation must not reuse the stricter certificate-eligibility
predicate: doing so would change current behavior for inputs such as
`0.0.0.0`, bracketed non-loopback IPv6 addresses, and `.localhost` subdomains.
### V1 approval covers untrusted local authorities only
The first version offers `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` only when all of these are
true:
- the failure is for the main frame;
- the attempted URL is HTTPS;
- Electron reports `net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID`, corresponding to
Chromium load error `-202`;
- the host is an eligible loopback host;
- the WebContents is a browser surface managed by Orca; and
- Orca retained a live pending challenge for that browser surface.
Other certificate errors receive accurate copy but no bypass action. In
particular, v1 does not bypass revoked certificates, malformed certificates,
weak keys, date errors, or hostname/SAN mismatches. Expanding the allowlist
requires a separate security decision and dedicated tests.
### Eligible loopback hosts
The shared predicate accepts:
- `localhost`, case-insensitively, with an optional trailing dot;
- valid subdomains of `.localhost`, also with an optional trailing dot;
- valid IPv4 addresses in `127.0.0.0/8`; and
- IPv6 loopback `::1`.
The predicate does not treat `0.0.0.0`, `::`, arbitrary bracketed IPv6
addresses, private LAN addresses, or a DNS name that merely resolves to
loopback as certificate-bypass eligible. Wildcard bind addresses should already
be normalized to a connectable loopback address before navigation.
SSH local forwards are eligible when their browser-facing URL uses one of these
loopback hosts. Forwarding does not fix certificate names: a URL using
`127.0.0.1` still needs an IP SAN for `127.0.0.1`; a certificate containing only
`localhost` will fail with `ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID`, which v1 does not
bypass. Custom advertised DNS names remain subject to normal system trust in
v1, even if the name maps to loopback.
### Approval lifetime
An accepted grant is scoped to:
```text
browser WebContents ID + secure endpoint + leaf SHA-256 digest + error name
```
The secure endpoint canonicalizes `wss:` to its companion `https:` endpoint and
includes the normalized hostname and effective port. This lets an approved
local page load same-endpoint HTTPS assets and its WSS development socket. A
grant for `https://localhost:3000` does not apply to port 3001, to
`https://127.0.0.1:3000`, to another browser tab, or to a replacement
certificate.
Construct the secure endpoint from the parsed request URL: map `https:` and
`wss:` to `https:`, lowercase the hostname, remove one optional trailing dot,
use the URL parser's canonical IP representation, and use port 443 when the
parsed port is empty. Exclude credentials, path, query, and fragment. Reject
every other scheme.
Accepted grants survive reloads and same-surface navigation back to the exact
endpoint. They are cleared when the WebContents commits a main-frame navigation
whose canonical secure endpoint differs from the grant's endpoint (reusing the
per-WebContents navigation-sequence tracking), when the WebContents is destroyed
or replaced, the session profile changes, the browser-owning process exits, or
the app restarts. Binding grant lifetime to the granting main-frame document
prevents a later top-level document in the same tab — for example a navigation
to a public site — from silently reusing the loopback grant for a same-endpoint
iframe, fetch, or WSS subrequest.
Clearing a grant affects future requests; it cannot retroactively terminate a
document that already loaded. Grants are not written to settings, browser
history, workspace session state, or logs.
Chromium caches an accepted `certificate-error` continuation across the
Electron session partition. Orca therefore retains every endpoint/certificate
identity accepted in that partition until the browser-owning process exits and
gates all later HTTPS/WSS requests with `webRequest.onBeforeRequest`. Only the
WebContents holding the matching grant may reach a cached endpoint. A sibling
main-frame navigation receives a synthetic challenge for the known identity;
sibling subresources, fetches, iframes, workers, and WSS requests fail silently.
Because a preflight request gate cannot inspect the certificate that will be
presented after Chromium's cache is consulted, one endpoint is locked to the
first accepted untrusted leaf identity for that process lifetime. If that
endpoint later presents a different untrusted leaf, strict verification rejects
it and Orca does not offer another bypass until the browser-owning process
restarts. A replacement system-trusted certificate may load normally; the
conservative request gate still keeps sibling WebContents blocked until restart.
## User Experience
### Local HTTP failure
For a failed `http://` loopback navigation, keep the current connectivity
title and recovery hint. Add `Try HTTPS` when an HTTPS form can be constructed.
Example:
```text
Can't reach localhost:3000
We couldn't connect to your local server.
[Try HTTPS] [Retry] [Copy Address] [Open Externally]
```
`Try HTTPS` is the default button because it is the targeted recovery action
for a local HTTP failure. Keep the existing `Copy Address` recovery action;
`Retry` uses `outline`, while `Copy Address` and `Open Externally` stay quiet
secondary actions. `Try HTTPS` does not appear for an already-HTTPS URL or a
non-eligible host.
### Certificate failure
For `ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (-202)` on an eligible local endpoint, replace
the generic connectivity content with:
```text
Connection isn't secure
Orca doesn't trust the authority that issued the certificate for localhost:3000.
For local development, use a trusted local certificate when possible.
[Open Externally] [Retry] [Copy Address] [Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)]
```
- `Open Externally` is the default safe recovery action when the URL is
reachable from the desktop.
- When `Open Externally` is unavailable, `Retry` becomes the default action.
- `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` uses `outline`; `Copy Address` stays quiet.
- `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` is always visibly labeled; it is not hidden behind
a tooltip.
- The unsafe action does not use the destructive color. It does not delete or
irreversibly mutate user data, and the explicit label carries the warning.
- Use a muted `ShieldAlert` icon from `lucide-react`; do not add a warning color
or new token.
For a remote-owned page whose URL is remote localhost, `Open Externally` is
hidden because the desktop system browser cannot reach the remote loopback
address. It remains available for a desktop-owned page or a locally forwarded
URL.
For certificate errors that v1 does not permit bypassing, show the same
certificate-specific title with error-specific body text, `Retry`,
`Copy Address`, and an eligible `Open Externally` action. `Copy Address` remains
present as a quiet secondary action in every certificate-failure branch,
eligible or not, so only `Try HTTPS` and `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` toggle in and
out across cases. The same default-action rule applies as for `-202`:
`Open Externally` is the default when the URL is reachable from the desktop,
otherwise `Retry` becomes the default. Do not show the local-server-running
hint.
Use this presentation mapping, inserting the display host into the copy:
| Chromium code | Body copy | Proceed in v1 |
| ----------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| `-200` | `The certificate doesn't match {host}.` | No |
| `-201` | `The certificate for {host} isn't valid at the current date and time.` | No |
| `-202` | `Orca doesn't trust the authority that issued the certificate for {host}.` | Eligible local endpoints only |
| Other certificate error | `Orca couldn't verify the certificate for {host}.` | No |
Keep the raw error name/code available to diagnostics and optional details, but
do not make users interpret it to understand the primary failure.
### Interaction behavior
- The overlay is persistent inline UI because the user must read and act on the
failure; do not use a toast.
- The overlay does not steal focus when it appears.
- Actions are reachable by Tab and have visible focus rings.
- Use `aria-live="polite"`; repeated background failures must not repeatedly
announce the same message.
- Clicking `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` disables the action immediately, and also
disables the other overlay actions (`Retry`, `Try HTTPS`, `Copy Address`,
`Open Externally`) for the duration of the approval round-trip so a stale
click cannot race the controller's own `loadURL`. Re-enable them once a
success or typed-failure response returns.
- Map every `proceedCertificate` failure reason to an overlay outcome:
`expired`, `changed`, `ineligible`, and `missing` keep the overlay open and
show the inline recovery message below; `navigated` shows no message because
the overlay for that navigation is already cleared. In every non-success case
`Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` stays disabled until a fresh pending challenge is
announced rather than re-enabling on its own.
- Delay the spinner by 200 ms, matching the style guide's remote-latency rule.
After that delay, show the canonical `Loader2` with `Connecting…` and use a
fixed button width so the label swap cannot move adjacent actions.
- If approval expired or the certificate changed, keep the overlay open and
show `The certificate changed or the approval expired. Retry the page.`
- A successful main-frame navigation clears the visible certificate failure.
The UI must use existing `background`, `foreground`, `muted-foreground`,
`border`, and `ring` tokens plus the existing shadcn `Button` primitive. No new
color, radius, or shadow tier is required. Do not apply a blanket opacity to
the overlay's interactive content; use semantic muted text classes so button
and focus-ring contrast remains intact. Put every new user-visible string
through the existing localization catalog.
## Architecture
### Ownership
The browser-owning main process is the only authority that can accept a
certificate challenge.
- Desktop-owned `<webview>` pages are controlled by the desktop main process.
- Headless/SSH-owned pages are controlled by the remote `orca serve` main
process through `OffscreenBrowserBackend`.
- The renderer only presents a pending challenge and requests approval. It
never decides whether a certificate is trusted.
### New main-process controller
Add `src/main/browser/browser-certificate-trust-controller.ts` to manage pending
certificate challenges, and
`src/main/browser/browser-certificate-request-guard.ts` to manage grants plus
the session-level cached-certificate request boundary.
The controller owns:
```ts
type BrowserCertificateFailure = {
challengeId: string
browserPageId: string
errorCode: number | null
error: string
origin: string
displayHost: string
canProceed: boolean
observedAt: number
}
type PendingBrowserCertificateChallenge = {
challengeId: string
guestWebContentsId: number
browserPageId: string | null
navigationSequence: number
navigationUrl: string
origin: string
secureEndpoint: string
leafCertificateSha256: string
errorCode: number | null
error: string
expiresAt: number
}
type BrowserCertificateGrant = {
guestWebContentsId: number
secureEndpoint: string
leafCertificateSha256: string
error: string
}
```
Generate challenge IDs with `randomUUID()`. Compute the certificate identity in
the browser-owning main process as SHA-256 over the DER bytes of Electron's leaf
`certificate.data`; do not depend on the undocumented formatting or algorithm
of `certificate.fingerprint`. Renderer and runtime payloads expose no
certificate bytes or digest—only the challenge ID, display host, origin, error
code, error name, `canProceed`, and observation time.
Pending challenges expire after five minutes and are bounded to 32 entries.
Accepted grants are bounded to 32 entries per browser-owning process and are
also removed with their WebContents. Bounds evict the oldest entry and notify
the affected UI when a live challenge is evicted. Ordinary cleanup should keep
both collections much smaller. Accepted endpoint identities are not evicted:
Chromium's corresponding cache cannot be cleared narrowly, so forgetting one
would reopen cross-WebContents access until process exit.
### Certificate event handling
Register exactly one app-level `certificate-error` listener after Electron is
ready but before either a desktop window or the offscreen backend can create a
browser page. Every branch must call Electron's callback exactly once; an
unexpected exception fails closed with `callback(false)`.
Electron supplies the certificate error as a string on this event, while
`did-fail-load` supplies the Chromium number later. Normalize the string to one
canonical error name and map only known names to numbers for presentation. An
unknown name keeps `errorCode: null` and is never bypass-eligible.
For every event:
1. Resolve the WebContents through `BrowserManager` and reject unmanaged,
retired, or popup WebContents.
2. Parse the request URL, normalize its secure endpoint, and compute the leaf
certificate SHA-256 digest. Invalid data fails closed.
3. Compare the normalized error name, endpoint, and digest against an accepted
grant for this exact WebContents. On an exact match, first retain the accepted
identity in the owning Electron session, then call `event.preventDefault()`
and `callback(true)`.
4. If no grant matches, reject non-main-frame failures without creating a
challenge. Subresources and iframes can consume an existing grant but cannot
mint one.
5. For a main-frame failure, record a pending challenge only when the URL and
error are eligible. Notify the owning page when its page ID is known, then
call `callback(false)`.
Track a monotonically increasing main-frame navigation sequence per
WebContents. A new main-frame navigation invalidates its pending challenge in
both main and renderer state before the next certificate decision. Repeated
identical events within one sequence reuse the challenge ID; a retry or a
different navigation gets a new ID. This prevents an old button or compromised
renderer from approving a page the user has already left.
The first failure is always rejected. User approval records a grant and reloads
the page; the next certificate event is the one that succeeds.
Do not leave Electron's callback pending while waiting for user input. Rejecting
first gives Orca a normal load-failure lifecycle, avoids an unbounded blocked
navigation, and makes stale approval cleanup deterministic.
Do not use `session.setCertificateVerifyProc`. It applies to an entire session
partition, cannot bind a decision to one browser page, and verification results
can be cached by Chromium's network service.
### Session request gate and Electron upgrade guard
The pinned Electron 43 binary caches `callback(true)` broadly enough that a
second WebContents in the same partition can load the endpoint without another
`certificate-error` event. The certificate callback alone is therefore not an
isolation boundary.
Install exactly one `webRequest.onBeforeRequest` listener on every Orca browser
session before its first page loads. Electron permits only one listener for this
event, so the browser session registry owns installation and removal. Once an
endpoint identity has been accepted, the listener blocks every HTTPS/WSS
request to that endpoint unless `details.webContentsId` has the matching grant.
Requests without a WebContents ID, including background/worker traffic, fail
closed. A blocked main-frame request recreates the challenge and certificate
load error; other resource types are canceled without replacing the current
page's overlay.
The real-Electron integration suite must prove same-tab reload, same-endpoint
HTTPS assets and WSS, different-tab documents and subresources, and
different-port isolation against the exact Electron version in
`pnpm-lock.yaml`. Any Electron upgrade that breaks those tests blocks release
until the design is revised; unit mocks are insufficient.
### BrowserManager integration
Add a narrow BrowserManager query API instead of exposing its internal maps:
```ts
getManagedBrowserGuestContext(webContentsId: number): {
browserPageId: string | null
worktreeId: string | null
sessionProfileId: string | null
owner: 'desktop-webview' | 'offscreen'
} | null
```
For guest lifecycle, follow the existing extracted-controller precedent
(`browser-grab-session-controller.ts`, `browser-guest-ui.ts`,
`browser-download-destination.ts`), all of which BrowserManager drives by
calling a plain method on the controller directly from `registerGuest` /
`unregisterGuest`. Have BrowserManager call
`certificateTrustController.onGuestRegistered({ browserPageId, webContentsId })`
and `.onGuestRetired(webContentsId)` from those same bodies, rather than adding a
new listener/emitter registration API to BrowserManager — there is no such
pub-sub surface in `src/main/browser` today and this single consumer does not
warrant introducing one.
`getManagedBrowserGuestContext` must recognize an attached primary desktop
guest before renderer registration, returning a null page ID, while rejecting
popup descendants that merely inherited browser policies. It must also
recognize offscreen pages after `registerOffscreenGuest` and stop recognizing a
guest immediately when BrowserManager retires or unregisters it. The controller
re-checks this ownership on every certificate event even if it still has an
in-memory grant.
An attached desktop webview can encounter a certificate error before its
document reaches `dom-ready`, which is when BrowserPane currently registers the
guest. Keep pending challenges keyed by WebContents ID until registration
supplies the page ID, then flush the failure to the renderer.
BrowserPane should also register idempotently on the webview's `did-attach`
event, with `dom-ready` retained as a fallback. `registerGuest` should report
whether the main process accepted the registration so a rare attach-policy race
can retry at `dom-ready`; the renderer must not cache the WebContents ID as
registered until it receives `true`.
Offscreen pages already register before `loadURL`, so their page ID is normally
available when the certificate event fires. Bring their main-frame navigation
and `did-fail-load` observation under the same BrowserManager lifecycle used by
desktop guests; the current offscreen loader only logs a rejected `loadURL`, so
it cannot by itself populate runtime failure snapshots.
### Renderer state
Certificate challenges are transient runtime state and must not be added to
the persisted `BrowserPage` schema.
Add a transient map to the browser store:
```ts
browserCertificateFailuresByPageId: Record<string, BrowserCertificateFailure>
```
The workspace session serializer must omit this map. Clear an entry when:
- the page completes a successful main-frame navigation;
- the user starts a different navigation;
- the page or workspace closes;
- the owning browser WebContents is replaced; or
- the main process reports that the challenge expired.
The existing `BrowserLoadError` remains the persisted diagnostic source. Add a
pure Chromium-error classifier for Electron 43's certificate range (`-200`
through `-219`, excluding the unused values) so certificate failures still
render accurate copy after restore even when no live challenge exists. A live
certificate failure's error code takes presentation precedence over a
synthesized `-1` Chromium-error-page fallback. Independently, only a live,
matching challenge controls whether `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` is enabled.
Use both the page ID and attempted origin when combining the live challenge
with `BrowserLoadError`. A stale challenge from a prior navigation must never
add a proceed action to a different failure. Main-process navigation-sequence
invalidation is the security boundary; renderer cleanup is defense in depth and
keeps the UI honest.
### Local IPC
Extend the browser preload API with:
```ts
onCertificateFailureChanged(
callback: (event: {
browserPageId: string
failure: BrowserCertificateFailure | null
}) => void
): () => void
proceedCertificate(args: {
browserPageId: string
challengeId: string
}): Promise<
| { ok: true }
| {
ok: false
reason: 'expired' | 'changed' | 'ineligible' | 'missing' | 'navigated'
}
>
```
Register the handler with the existing browser IPC group and reuse
`isTrustedBrowserRenderer`. The main process resolves the page to its current
WebContents and then consumes the exact pending challenge. Renderer-provided
origin, error code, or certificate identity are never trusted.
On success, main consumes the challenge, records the grant, and calls
`loadURL` with the challenge's main-owned `navigationUrl`. It must not use
`webContents.getURL()`, which may be `chrome-error://chromewebdata/` or a
previously committed page. It also must not reload if the page's current
navigation sequence no longer matches the challenge. The renderer does not
assign `webview.src` as a second side effect.
### Remote runtime RPC
The remote browser owner exposes equivalent behavior through:
```text
browser.certificate.proceed
```
with the runtime worktree selector, remote browser page ID, and challenge ID.
Advertise support through a new `browser.certificate-trust.v1` capability only
when the runtime has both a browser backend and the certificate controller.
Keep the method out of the mobile-scope RPC allowlist; it is for an
authenticated runtime-scope Orca client presenting browser chrome, not a guest
page or unauthenticated caller.
Extend `RuntimeMobileSessionBrowserTab` compatibly with optional `loadError`
and `certificateFailure` fields. Both are emitted from live runtime state.
`loadError` keeps the existing `BrowserPage` last-known diagnostic semantics,
including workspace persistence; `certificateFailure` is transient and is
never written to workspace persistence. Controller changes, challenge expiry,
navigation, and offscreen `did-fail-load` must mark the runtime session snapshot
dirty so clients do not wait for unrelated state to change. Web clients and
desktop clients reconcile these fields through the existing remote page-handle
mapping. Each full snapshot replaces the prior transient certificate failure
for that page, including clearing it when the field is absent. An older runtime
without the capability always clears any previously mirrored proceed action.
When the active page has a remote owner, BrowserPane routes approval to that
environment. It must not call local desktop IPC. If the runtime lacks the new
capability, the UI still classifies the certificate failure accurately but does
not render `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)`. `Try HTTPS`, retry, and other navigation
actions continue through the existing owner-aware navigation path rather than
touching a local webview for a remote-owned page.
### Scheme recovery
Add pure functions in the shared browser URL domain:
```ts
classifySchemeLessLocalDevAddress(rawInput: string): URL | null
isEligibleLocalCertificateHost(hostname: string): boolean
toHttpsRecoveryUrl(rawUrl: string): string | null
```
`classifySchemeLessLocalDevAddress` preserves the exact current HTTP-default
input set and is shared by address-bar normalization and tab-create entry. It
is deliberately broader than certificate eligibility.
`isEligibleLocalCertificateHost` accepts a parsed/canonical hostname; normalize
case and an optional trailing dot and handle the brackets returned by
`URL.hostname` for IPv6. Validate IPv4 octets and DNS label boundaries instead
of using a substring or loose suffix check.
`toHttpsRecoveryUrl` returns a value only for an HTTP URL with an eligible
loopback host. It changes `protocol` to `https:` on a parsed `URL` object and
preserves credentials, hostname, an explicit non-default port, path, query, and
fragment. When no port is present, including when the parsed HTTP URL normalized
`:80` away, the result uses HTTPS's default port 443. It never probes either
protocol.
Both address-bar submission and tab-create entry use the shared local-address
classifier. Existing advertised workspace-port URLs remain authoritative and
require no new probing.
## Security Model
### Invariants
- Default certificate verification remains strict.
- Only a trusted Orca renderer or authenticated runtime-scope Orca client can
request approval.
- The renderer cannot choose the origin, certificate digest, error,
WebContents, or eligibility result.
- A grant is exact-match only and never applies across tabs, ports,
certificates, or browser-owning processes.
- Session-cached accepted endpoints remain request-gated until process exit,
even after their original WebContents or bounded grant is removed.
- Certificate PEM/DER data and certificate digests do not enter workspace
state, history, telemetry, or ordinary logs.
- Subresource and iframe certificate failures cannot mint an approval action;
they can consume an already-approved exact-endpoint grant on the same
WebContents.
- The proceed affordance exists only in Orca chrome; guest content has no
direct approval channel. Main-process challenge validation remains the
security boundary and does not assume proof of a physical click.
- A remote client cannot approve a certificate in a different runtime
environment.
- Starting another main-frame navigation invalidates the pending approval in
the browser-owning process, not only in renderer state.
### Threat cases
| Threat | Required behavior |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Compromised web page sends forged IPC | Guest WebContents has no preload API; trusted-renderer check rejects it. |
| Compromised renderer invents a challenge | Main consumes only a server-created pending challenge tied to the current page and WebContents. |
| Certificate changes after approval | Leaf-digest mismatch rejects; a second untrusted leaf for that endpoint cannot be bypassed until restart. |
| Same host uses a different port | Secure-endpoint mismatch rejects. |
| Another tab visits the approved endpoint | WebContents mismatch rejects. |
| Approved tab later loads a foreign top document | Grant is invalidated when the main frame navigates to a different endpoint; the new document cannot reuse it. |
| Challenge is replayed | Challenge ID is single-use and expires. |
| User leaves the failed page before clicking | Navigation-sequence mismatch rejects without reloading the stale URL. |
| Approved page opens same-endpoint WSS/HMR | Existing endpoint grant permits it; WSS cannot create a grant by itself. |
| Public site presents an untrusted certificate | Host eligibility fails; no proceed action is available. |
| Remote page approval is sent locally | Ownership routing and remote page handles select the browser-owning runtime. |
| App restarts after approval | No persisted grant exists. |
## Failure Handling
- If a certificate event arrives before guest registration, retain it by
WebContents ID and flush after registration.
- If guest registration never completes, expire the pending challenge without
notifying unrelated pages.
- If `Proceed` arrives after expiry, navigation, or WebContents replacement,
return a typed failure and leave strict verification in place.
- If reload fails for a different reason, clear the certificate challenge and
present the new load error.
- If the same rejected challenge fires repeatedly in one navigation, coalesce
it without rotating the challenge ID or stacking announcements.
- If the certificate-error listener cannot parse the URL or leaf certificate,
reject normally and do not offer approval.
- If the remote connection drops during approval, keep the local UI stable and
surface the runtime error inline after the latency threshold.
- If an unexpected controller error occurs, call Electron's callback once with
`false`; never leave the request suspended.
- If an accepted main-frame page later opens a new same-endpoint TLS connection,
apply the exact grant to that HTTPS/WSS subrequest. Reject unmatched
subrequests silently without replacing the main-frame overlay.
- If an accepted endpoint presents a different untrusted leaf, reject it without
replacing the process-lifetime accepted identity or offering a second bypass.
## Data and Privacy
No migration is required.
Add no new product analytics in v1. Do not record URLs, certificate digests,
challenge IDs, certificate subjects, or approval results. If product analytics
becomes a requirement later, define coarse actions in the existing typed
feature-interaction catalog as a separate reviewed change.
Existing diagnostics may retain the Chromium numerical error code, as they do
for other browser load failures. Debug logging must contain at most the error
name, page ID, owner kind, and normalized loopback host class; omit query
strings, full URLs, and certificate digests.
## Test Plan
### Shared URL tests
- Explicit HTTP and HTTPS local URLs remain unchanged.
- Scheme-less `localhost`, IPv4 loopback, and IPv6 loopback still normalize to
HTTP.
- Tab-create and address-bar local-address classification stay in parity for
the full legacy set, including wildcard and bracketed IPv6 inputs.
- The broader scheme-less classifier is not accidentally substituted for the
stricter certificate-eligibility predicate.
- `toHttpsRecoveryUrl` preserves host, an explicit non-default port, path,
query, and fragment; a URL with no parsed port changes from HTTP's default 80
to HTTPS's default 443.
- `Try HTTPS` is unavailable for HTTPS, file URLs, public hosts, wildcard bind
hosts, private LAN hosts, and invalid URLs.
- Loopback eligibility covers `localhost`, trailing-dot localhost,
`.localhost` subdomains with and without a trailing dot, the full valid IPv4
127/8 range, and bracketed or unbracketed `::1` after URL parsing.
- Reject malformed IPv4, arbitrary bracketed IPv6, `0.0.0.0`, `::`, and names
that only contain the word `localhost`.
### Main-process trust-controller tests
- Unmanaged, retired, and popup WebContents are rejected without pending
challenges.
- A managed `-202` loopback failure creates one pending challenge and calls
`callback(false)`.
- Every event path calls its callback exactly once; only an accepted grant calls
`preventDefault()` and `callback(true)`.
- The digest is SHA-256 over DER leaf bytes and is stable across PEM formatting.
- An exact accepted grant covers same-endpoint HTTPS assets, WSS, and iframes on
the same WebContents without allowing those requests to mint a challenge.
- Wrong page, WebContents, origin, port, certificate digest, error type, and
challenge ID fail closed.
- A token is single-use and expires after five minutes.
- Repeated identical failures in one navigation coalesce; a new navigation
invalidates the token and rotates the challenge ID.
- Approving after navigation returns `navigated` and never reloads the old URL.
- Approval loads the main-owned challenged URL, not the current Chromium error
URL or a renderer-supplied URL.
- Certificate rotation fails closed and cannot replace the process-lifetime
accepted endpoint identity.
- WebContents destruction removes pending challenges and grants.
- Bounds evict the oldest pending challenge/grant.
- Registering a page after an early certificate event flushes the event to the
correct renderer.
- Concurrent tabs and session profiles remain isolated.
### IPC and runtime tests
- Browser certificate IPC rejects untrusted senders and malformed arguments.
- Renderer-supplied origin or certificate-identity fields are neither accepted
nor used.
- Local approval reloads only the currently mapped guest.
- Remote approval calls the owning environment's RPC with the remote page ID.
- Local IPC is not called for a remote-owned page.
- Mobile-scope runtime clients cannot call the approval method.
- Older runtimes without `browser.certificate-trust.v1` never show an enabled
proceed action.
- Runtime snapshots carry live load errors and certificate failure state,
publish immediately on changes, and do not add certificate challenges to
persisted session schemas.
- A snapshot that omits or clears a challenge removes the mirrored proceed
action rather than leaving a stale one behind.
- Two runtime environments with identical page IDs cannot approve each other's
challenge.
### Renderer tests
- `-202` renders certificate-specific copy and no server-running hint.
- A live certificate challenge still wins when Chromium's error-page fallback
produced diagnostic code `-1`.
- A live eligible challenge renders `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)`.
- A restored `-202` load error without a live challenge remains accurate but
cannot proceed.
- Other certificate errors render accurate copy without v1 bypass.
- Local HTTP failures render `Try HTTPS`; HTTPS and non-loopback failures do not.
- Starting a new navigation clears stale certificate state.
- Success clears the overlay.
- Proceed disables immediately, delays the spinner, and preserves its width.
- Expired/changed responses show the inline recovery message.
- Keyboard focus and `aria-live` behavior do not regress the address bar.
- `Copy Address` remains available, interactive content is not blanket-dimmed,
and all new strings are present in the localization catalog.
### Electron integration
Run a local HTTPS server with a generated certificate whose SAN includes
`localhost` but whose authority is not trusted.
1. `https://localhost:<port>` fails with `-202` and shows certificate copy.
2. `Proceed Anyway (Unsafe)` reloads and renders the page.
3. HTTPS assets and a WSS echo/HMR endpoint on the same host and port load after
approval; a different-port asset remains blocked.
4. Reload in the same tab remains allowed without broadening the grant.
5. A second tab using the same session profile, origin, and certificate remains
blocked. This is a release-blocking assertion against the pinned Electron
binary, not a mocked controller test.
6. Navigating away before clicking makes the old challenge unusable and does
not pull the tab back to the failed URL.
7. Replacing the certificate keeps the original tab blocked and offers no
second bypass until the browser-owning process restarts.
8. Closing and recreating the browser surface removes the grant.
9. Restarting Orca removes the grant.
10. A system-trusted local certificate loads without an interstitial.
11. A public/non-loopback untrusted origin has no proceed action.
12. A hostname/SAN mismatch shows certificate copy but no proceed action.
13. `localhost:<port>` first attempts HTTP and its failure offers `Try HTTPS`.
Repeat the ownership-sensitive cases for:
- a local desktop webview;
- an SSH local port forward opened in the desktop browser, using a certificate
whose SAN matches the browser-facing forwarded hostname; and
- a headless/offscreen browser page owned by `orca serve` under Linux/Xvfb.
## Implementation Plan
1. Add the shared scheme-less local classifier, strict certificate-host
predicate, secure-endpoint canonicalizer, and HTTPS-recovery function with
focused tests.
2. Consolidate address-bar and tab-create local classification without changing
current scheme defaults.
3. Add BrowserManager ownership/registration/retirement hooks, early
`did-attach` registration with a `dom-ready` fallback, and offscreen load
failure observation.
4. Add shared certificate failure/result types and the main-process trust
controller, including navigation-sequence invalidation and the app-level
listener. Its certificate-event handling resolves ownership through the
BrowserManager hooks from step 3, so those must land first.
5. Add local IPC, preload APIs, and transient renderer state.
6. Add the certificate-specific classification and copy as new exported
functions/branches in the existing `browser-notices.ts` (which already owns
load-failure copy via `formatLoadFailureDescription` /
`formatLoadFailureRecoveryHint`), and extract only the overlay JSX into a
focused `browser-load-failure-overlay.tsx` module instead of growing the
already grandfathered `BrowserPane.tsx`; do not add or extend a max-lines
disable.
7. Add certificate-specific and `Try HTTPS` UI, preserve existing recovery
actions, and update the localization catalog.
8. Add the offscreen/runtime capability, live snapshot fields and publication,
and approval RPC.
9. Add unit, IPC, renderer, runtime, and real-Electron integration coverage.
10. Run formatting, typecheck, lint, localization verification, targeted tests,
and cross-platform manual validation.
## Rollout
No feature flag is required for accurate error copy or `Try HTTPS` because both
paths preserve strict certificate verification.
The proceed path should ship only after desktop and offscreen ownership tests
pass. If remote runtime support cannot land in the same release, gate the
button on `browser.certificate-trust.v1`; local desktop support may ship while
older/remote owners retain accurate error copy and trusted-CA guidance.
Do not close issue #8454 until a packaged build has been validated against a
real self-signed local HTTPS server. Unit mocks alone do not establish Electron
certificate-event ordering.
## UI Quality Bar
- Follow `docs/STYLEGUIDE.md` and the adjacent browser failure overlay.
- Use only existing semantic tokens, shadcn buttons, and lucide icons.
- Keep the overlay quiet and monochrome; certificate failure must not introduce
an amber warning treatment.
- Copy must distinguish connection, DNS, and certificate failures without
claiming more than the Chromium error proves.
- Buttons must remain on one line at supported pane widths or wrap as one
deliberate group without overlap.
- Validate light/dark mode, macOS/Windows/Linux font metrics, and 200 ms remote
latency.
- Capture review evidence for local HTTP failure, eligible certificate failure,
ineligible certificate failure, accepted certificate, and the same browser
chrome after recovery.
## Release Gates and Open Risks
- The pinned Electron binary must prove that the session request gate blocks a
second tab, sibling HTTPS subresources/WSS, and a second port even when
Chromium does not re-emit `certificate-error`. If any isolation assertion
fails, omit the proceed path or redesign it around a dedicated ephemeral
partition; do not silently widen the grant.
- Same-endpoint WSS and fresh HTTPS subresource connections must work after
approval. A main document that renders while HMR/API traffic remains blocked
does not fix the local-development use case.
- A remote/headless certificate failure must reach the client as both accurate
load-error copy and a live challenge. Logging a rejected offscreen `loadURL`
is not sufficient.
- Stale approval must be rejected in the browser-owning process after any new
main-frame navigation, including when renderer cleanup or a remote snapshot
is delayed.
- SSH-forward validation must use a certificate whose SAN matches the
browser-facing hostname. Authority bypass must not mask a hostname mismatch.
- The app-level listener and real-certificate tests must pass on macOS, Windows,
and Linux/Xvfb. Platform trust-store differences do not justify enabling a
broader error allowlist.
## Review Decisions and Follow-ups
### From 2026-07-12 review
- The integrated browser is part of the development workflow (including
automation, annotations, and remote ownership), so `Open Externally` and trusted
local-certificate guidance remain safer alternatives but do not replace an
explicit in-browser decision.
- V1 intentionally limits approval to `ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (-202)`.
Hostname/SAN, date, revoked, and malformed-certificate failures remain blocked;
broadening that set requires a separate security review and real-certificate
tests.
- Raw error details remain available to existing diagnostics rather than adding a
new disclosure affordance to the quiet recovery overlay.

# Direct URL Or File Entry
## Problem
The tab bar `+` menu only offers fixed actions: terminal, browser, new markdown, and open markdown in `src/renderer/src/components/tab-bar/TabBar.tsx`. It has no text entry point for a user who already knows the URL or file path they want.
Quick Open already loads files for the active worktree through `listRuntimeFiles`, watches the active SSH target status, excludes nested linked worktrees, ranks via `prepareQuickOpenFiles`/`rankQuickOpenFiles`, and opens a selected match with `openFile`. That flow is modal and file-only. It does not live in the `+` menu, does not accept URLs, and cannot create a named new file from the typed query.
The runtime file client has the required local/SSH/runtime primitives, with caveats:
- `listRuntimeFiles(context, { rootPath, excludePaths })` returns relative paths only and can fail for auth, missing provider, ripgrep/size, or stale worktree reasons.
- `statRuntimePath(context, absolutePath)` is a one-path existence/type check.
- `createRuntimePath(context, absolutePath, 'file')` creates a single empty file and creates parent directories on the current local, SSH, and runtime-backed paths. Directory creation has separate no-clobber/recursive semantics elsewhere in the file stack, so v1 should create files directly and not expose directory creation as a separate action.
## Goal
Add an entry field at the top of the tab bar `+` menu so users can type:
1. A URL to open an Orca browser tab.
2. An existing file name/path to open an editor tab.
3. A new relative file path to create in the active worktree and open.
The behavior must work from both the titlebar tab strip and split-group tab strips. File operations must route through `RuntimeFileOperationArgs`; browser/editor creation must preserve the target group.
## Non-goals
- Do not replace global Quick Open.
- Do not add persisted launcher state.
- Do not support standalone directory creation.
- Do not open external URLs outside Orca.
- Do not make URL/file detection configurable.
## Design
1. Add a `TabBarCreateEntry` surface inside `TabBar`'s dropdown content above the fixed rows. Use the existing `DropdownMenu` shell, but render the input in a plain form/container, not as a `DropdownMenuItem`; Radix menu item typeahead/selection should not own text input keystrokes. Stop propagation only where required for input typing, and close the dropdown only after a successful submit.
2. Extend `TabBarProps` with a presentation callback that resolves success by returning and failure by throwing:
```ts
onOpenEntry?: (args: { query: string; worktreeId: string; groupId: string }) => Promise<void>
```
`TabBar` owns input text, pending state, focus, and dropdown close behavior. It does not create browser tabs or files. `groupId` should be `groupId ?? worktreeId`, matching the existing `resolvedGroupId` fallback.
3. Add a small hook/helper pair instead of duplicating Quick Open logic:
- `useTabEntryFileList` loads the file list when the menu opens, using the same inputs as `QuickOpen`: active worktree path, `getConnectionId(worktreeId)`, nested worktree exclusions, and active SSH target status. It cancels stale requests on close or key changes.
- A pure classifier/opening helper accepts the query, file-list snapshot, load/error state, worktree metadata, runtime context, and target group.
4. Wire the callback in both owners:
- `Terminal.tsx` titlebar fallback resolves the current active worktree and target group the same way `handleNewTab` / `handleNewBrowserTab` do.
- `useTabGroupWorkspaceModel` passes its explicit `worktreeId` and `groupId`. Do not rely on ambient `activeGroupIdByWorktree`; split-group `+` can be invoked from an unfocused group.
5. Classify submissions in this order:
- Empty after trim: reject inline.
- Explicit URL: accept only `http://` and `https://` URLs with a parseable host.
- Existing file: once the file-list snapshot is ready, normalize query separators for matching, prefer exact relative-path match, then exact basename match, then `rankQuickOpenFiles`. Before opening, `statRuntimePath` the matched absolute path and reject directories/stale missing matches instead of blindly opening stale list entries.
- Host-like URL: only after there is no existing file match, accept strict bare hosts such as `example.com`, `localhost:3000`, or `127.0.0.1:3000`, normalized to `https://...` when no scheme is present. Do not run host-like URL parsing for bare input containing `/` or `\`; `new URL('https://docs/readme.md')` parses, so parsing alone is not a path/file guard. Also reject common source/document filename extensions such as `md`, `ts`, `tsx`, `js`, `jsx`, `json`, `yml`, `yaml`, `toml`, `css`, `html`, and `py` so `README.md` and `src/foo.test.ts` stay file/create candidates.
- New file: only after file listing has completed successfully with no existing-file match and no host-like URL match. Treat the query as a relative worktree path. If listing fails, allow explicit `http://` / `https://` URLs only; keep bare host-like inputs blocked because they cannot be disambiguated from files.
6. Validate new file paths before joining:
- Reject POSIX absolute paths, Windows drive paths, UNC paths, `~`, empty path, trailing slash, control characters, `.` / `..` segments, and empty raw segments such as `a//b`.
- Normalize `\` to `/` only after absolute-path checks, then run segment validation on the normalized path too so traversal like `a\..\b` is still rejected.
- Build the absolute path with `joinPath(worktreePath, relativePath)`, then create with `createRuntimePath(context, absolutePath, 'file')`.
- On `EEXIST` / "exists", immediately `statRuntimePath`; if it is now a file, open it. If it is a directory, show an error. This handles another window/process winning the create race.
7. Open actions:
- URL: in paired web clients, call `createWebRuntimeSessionBrowserTab({ worktreeId, url, targetGroupId: groupId })`; otherwise call `createBrowserTab(worktreeId, url, { activate: true, targetGroupId: groupId, title: url })`. Do not use `openNewBrowserTabInActiveWorkspace`; it only opens the default URL.
- Existing/new file: call `openFile(fileInfo, { preview: false, targetGroupId: groupId })` with `language: detectLanguage(relativePath)`. Include the active runtime environment owner as `runtimeEnvironmentId` through the normal `openFile` fallback; do not suppress runtime ownership.
8. Preserve current fixed actions. Existing `New Terminal`, `New Browser Tab`, `New Markdown`, `Open Markdown...`, and quick-launch rows remain below the entry and keep their current shortcuts/icons.
9. Surface errors with existing toast or compact inline text. Keep the dropdown open and preserve the query on validation/runtime errors. For Quick Open's special ripgrep guidance, either extract its parser/UI deliberately or show the cleaned error string; do not duplicate a private parser inline.
## Data Flow
- User opens the `+` menu.
- `TabBarCreateEntry` focuses the input and `useTabEntryFileList` starts/reuses the menu-local file-list request.
- User types; the menu may show the best existing-file match or "create file" affordance based on the current snapshot.
- Enter calls `onOpenEntry({ query, worktreeId, groupId })`.
- Helper classifies and dispatches:
- URL -> browser tab creation with target group.
- Existing file -> stat matched path -> `openFile(..., { targetGroupId })`.
- New file -> validate -> `createRuntimePath(..., 'file')` -> `openFile(..., { targetGroupId })`.
- Success closes the dropdown. Failure keeps it open.
## Edge Cases
- No active worktree: disable the entry, including URL entry, because Orca browser tabs are worktree-scoped.
- SSH/runtime connection not ready: mirror Quick Open by keying the list request on active target status. Non-URL submissions are disabled while loading/connecting to avoid creating a duplicate before the real list arrives.
- File listing failure: explicit `http://` / `https://` URL submissions still work; file and bare host-like submissions are blocked with the cleaned list error.
- Ambiguous host-like/file names: an existing listed file wins over bare host-like URL normalization. Explicit `http://` or `https://` input is the escape hatch when the user wants a browser tab despite a file-name collision.
- File list stale because another window/process added or removed a file: stat before opening matched files; handle create `EEXIST` by stat-and-open.
- Existing directory match: show an error; do not open as an editor tab.
- Internal spaces in file paths are allowed. Leading/trailing whitespace is trimmed. Control characters are rejected.
- Windows-style separators match existing relative paths after normalization, but Windows absolute and UNC paths are rejected for creation.
- Duplicate Enter while pending is disabled.
- Browser creation in paired web/mobile clients must use `createWebRuntimeSessionBrowserTab`; local desktop uses `createBrowserTab`.
- External file-watch invalidation is not required for v1. The menu-local list reloads on each open and on worktree/connection/status changes; successful create can close the menu without mutating the list.
## Test Plan
- Unit test URL classification: schemes, host-like domains, localhost/IP ports, listed file named `example.com` winning over host-like normalization, `README.md`/`readme.md`, `src/foo.test.ts`, `docs/readme.md`, whitespace, and invalid schemes.
- Unit test path validation: Windows/POSIX absolute paths, UNC, `~`, traversal, empty segments, trailing slash, control characters, spaces, and separator normalization.
- Unit test existing-file selection with `prepareQuickOpenFiles`/`rankQuickOpenFiles`: exact path beats basename, basename beats fuzzy, stale stat failure blocks open, directory stat blocks open.
- Unit/helper test new-file creation with `RuntimeFileOperationArgs`, `createRuntimePath`, `statRuntimePath`, EEXIST stat-and-open, and SSH/runtime connection context.
- Component test `TabBar`: input renders above fixed rows, focuses on open, typing does not close the menu, Enter awaits the callback, success closes, failure preserves text, fixed actions still fire.
- Store/model tests: titlebar and split-group callbacks pass `targetGroupId`; URL creation uses `createWebRuntimeSessionBrowserTab` in web runtime and `createBrowserTab` otherwise.
- Electron validation: open URL, open existing file by exact path/name, create nested new file, invalid traversal/absolute path error, and smoke-test existing menu actions.
## UI Quality Bar
- Follow `docs/STYLEGUIDE.md` and existing `DropdownMenu`/`Input` tokens. Do not add custom colors, shadows, or a modal-like panel inside the menu.
- The input is the first focus target and must not break menu keyboarding.
- The menu remains compact; loading, match preview, create preview, and error rows fit at the current menu width without overlap or awkward height jumps.
- Long typed paths scroll/truncate within the input; fixed rows retain icons, shortcuts, hover states, and dense spacing.
## Review Screenshots
Attach evidence to the PR conversation; do not commit images.
1. `+` menu open in a normal workspace with the entry focused and fixed rows visible.
2. Typed URL state.
3. Typed existing-file query with visible best match.
4. Typed new-file path/create state.
5. Rejected absolute/traversal path error.
6. Adjacent-feature smoke: fixed menu rows still visible and aligned.
## Rollout
1. Add classifier/path-validation helper and tests.
2. Add menu-local file-list hook by extracting the reusable Quick Open loading inputs, not by copying private UI-only parsing.
3. Add `TabBarCreateEntry` and wire it into `TabBar`.
4. Add titlebar and split-group callbacks.
5. Add component/store tests.
6. Run typecheck, lint, targeted tests, UI review, and Electron validation with screenshots.
## Lightweight Eng Review
- Scope: Correctly scoped to the tab bar `+` menu. The implementation must not mutate Quick Open behavior except for extracting reusable search/listing code.
- Architecture/data flow: Good if `TabBar` stays presentational and all worktree/runtime/group decisions live in owners plus a shared helper. The original `onOpenEntry(query, groupId?)` shape was under-specified; include `worktreeId` and a resolved `groupId`.
- Failure modes: Must explicitly handle loading list, failed list, stale list, directory matches, create races, no active worktree, no SSH provider yet, and paired web runtime browser creation.
- Feasibility: Specific URL browser tabs cannot go through `openNewBrowserTabInActiveWorkspace` because that action uses the default URL. `createRuntimePath(..., 'file')` is feasible and creates parent directories for current local/SSH/runtime paths, but do not expose recursive directory creation as a separate v1 behavior.
- Concurrency/invalidation: A menu-local file list is acceptable if every matched file is statted before open and `EEXIST` is handled on create. No global cache is needed.
- Performance/blast radius: Listing on menu open has Quick Open's cost class, but the menu is more casually opened than the modal; cancel stale loads and key requests tightly by worktree path, connection, exclusions, and SSH status.
- Tests: Add pure helper tests first; then component and store/model tests. Electron screenshots are required because Radix menu focus/input behavior is the highest-risk UI part.
- Residual risk: Host-like URL heuristics can surprise users. Keep the heuristic narrow and prefer file matches over host-like normalization whenever the query contains path separators or matches a listed file.

# Feature Discovery Interaction Tracking
This document defines local feature-interaction state used to decide whether Orca should still teach a feature with an education surface such as a tour or feature tip.
## Decision
Track first meaningful interaction plus local interaction count for education-targeted features in `PersistedUIState.featureInteractions`.
Do not upload this state as broad analytics. Product analytics should continue to use bounded telemetry events and downstream product events. Local interaction state answers a different question: "Has this user already found enough of this feature that education would be redundant?"
## Rules
- Add a `FeatureInteractionId` in `src/shared/feature-interactions.ts` before using it.
- Preserve `firstInteractedAt`, and increment `interactionCount` on each later meaningful interaction.
- Prefer explicit actions over passive visibility.
- Passive visibility is acceptable only when opening the surface is itself the product use, such as opening Tasks.
- Record after persisted UI is hydrated by using `recordFeatureInteraction(...)`; it no-ops before hydration.
- Keep IDs stable. If the meaning changes materially, add a new ID.
- Do not include user text, paths, URLs, repo names, branch names, hostnames, commands, prompts, or tokens in this state.
- Old records without `interactionCount` hydrate as `interactionCount: 1`.

| Notifications | `notifications` | Notifications are enabled in onboarding/settings or a test notification is sent. | Suppress future notification setup tips. |
## Surface-Level Features
Orca also records surface-level interactions for feature areas where opening the surface is itself a meaningful discovery signal:
- `workspace-board`: workspace board opened
- `workspace-agent-sessions`: workspace terminal surface opened with agent split controls visible
- `browser`: non-blank browser page viewed
- `tasks`: Tasks page opened
- `automations`: Automations page opened
- `floating-workspace`: floating workspace opened
- `workspace-creation`: workspace creation flow opened
These remain intentionally separate from action-level IDs such as `workspace-board-actions`, `automation-created`, and `automation-run`. Surface-level IDs answer "has the user entered the feature area?" Action-level IDs answer "has the user performed the deeper workflow?"

# Feature Education Retention Analytics
This document records how Orca should use contextual-tour telemetry to evaluate retention and feature adoption.
## Decision
Track only contextual tour exposure and outcome in PostHog:
- `contextual_tour_shown`
- `contextual_tour_outcome`
Do not add broad telemetry that mirrors local education state, such as "feature interaction first recorded." Local state like `featureInteractions` exists to suppress redundant education on the user's machine; it is not the analytics source of truth.
Feature adoption analysis should join tour cohorts to existing downstream product events. Add new telemetry only for concrete user actions that are not already represented by an existing event.
Automatic contextual tours are limited to new users for this rollout. The local `contextualToursAutoEligible` flag is set once after persisted UI and onboarding state load: users still in first-run onboarding become eligible; users with closed onboarding become ineligible. This avoids surprising existing users with education for surfaces they may already understand.
## Product Questions
Use the data to answer:
- Do users who see contextual tours retain better at D1 and D7?
- Do completed tours correlate with higher downstream feature adoption than skipped or cancelled tours?
- Which tours have high skip/cancel rates and should be revised or suppressed?
- Which tours introduce features that users later use in real workflows?
## Event Contract
### `contextual_tour_shown`
Emitted once when a contextual tour first renders a measured target.
Payload:
- `tour_id`: `workspace-board`, `workspace-agent-sessions`, `browser`, `tasks`, `automations`, or `workspace-creation`
- `source`: bounded source enum from `src/shared/feature-education-telemetry.ts`
- `was_feature_previously_interacted`: boolean from local education state at the moment the tour is shown
### `contextual_tour_outcome`
Emitted once when a contextual tour ends.
Payload:
- `tour_id`: same enum as `contextual_tour_shown`
- `source`: same bounded source enum
- `outcome`: `completed`, `skipped`, or `cancelled`
- `steps_seen`: bounded integer
- `total_steps`: bounded integer
## Dashboard Plan
Create a PostHog dashboard named **Feature Education Retention**.
### Tile: Tour Exposure Volume
Question: How often are tours shown?
Insight:
- Event: `contextual_tour_shown`
- Breakdown: `tour_id`
- Visualization: stacked time series by day
Action:
- If volume is unexpectedly high, inspect gating before expanding tours.
- If a tour is never shown, verify the surface gate and target selectors.
### Tile: Tour Outcome Rate
Question: Which tours are completed, skipped, or cancelled?
Insight:
- Event: `contextual_tour_outcome`
- Breakdown: `tour_id` and `outcome`
- Visualization: stacked bar or table
Action:
- High skipped rate means copy, timing, or audience targeting needs revision.
- High cancelled rate means UI state is likely interrupting tours or targets are disappearing.
### Tile: Median Steps Seen
Question: How far do users get before leaving?
Insight:
- Event: `contextual_tour_outcome`
- Metric: median `steps_seen`
- Breakdown: `tour_id`
- Optional derived ratio: `steps_seen / total_steps`
Action:
- If most users see only step 1, shorten or reprioritize the tour.
- If later steps are rarely reached, do not rely on those steps for critical education.
### Tile: D1/D7 Retention By Tour Outcome
Question: Does tour status correlate with retention?
Insight:
- Cohort A: users with `contextual_tour_outcome` where `outcome = completed`
- Cohort B: users with `contextual_tour_outcome` where `outcome = skipped`
- Cohort C: users with `contextual_tour_outcome` where `outcome = cancelled`
- Cohort D: users with no `contextual_tour_shown`
- Retention: return to `app_opened` on day 1 and day 7
- Breakdown: `tour_id` where PostHog supports it, otherwise build one insight per tour
Action:
- Keep or expand tours whose completed cohort outperforms skipped/no-tour cohorts.
- Rework or suppress tours whose shown cohort underperforms no-tour users.
### Tile: Downstream Feature Adoption By Tour
Question: Do users later use the feature taught by the tour?
Build funnels from tour events to real product events:
- `tasks`: `contextual_tour_outcome` -> workspace creation from task-linked flows where existing telemetry exposes the source; if the current event is insufficient, add a targeted task-started-workspace event.
- `workspace-creation`: `contextual_tour_outcome` -> `workspace_created`
- `browser`: `contextual_tour_outcome` -> browser grab/annotation events. If these do not exist, add targeted events for the concrete actions, not a broad feature-interaction event.
- `automations`: `contextual_tour_outcome` -> automation creation/run events. If these do not exist, add targeted events for create/run.
- `workspace-board`: `contextual_tour_outcome` -> board-specific actions such as card moved/status changed. If these do not exist, add targeted events for those actions.
- `workspace-agent-sessions`: `contextual_tour_outcome` -> terminal pane split actions and later workspace creation.
Recommended funnel shape:
1. `contextual_tour_shown` filtered by `tour_id`
2. `contextual_tour_outcome` filtered by same `tour_id`, broken down by `outcome`
3. Downstream action event within 1 day and 7 days
Action:
- If completion improves downstream action conversion, keep the tour.
- If shown-but-skipped users still convert, the surface may be discoverable without a tour.
- If no downstream event exists, add the smallest action-specific telemetry needed for that feature.
## Telemetry Cost Rule
At 1,000 DAU, this PR should emit at most:
- One `contextual_tour_shown` per shown tour
- One `contextual_tour_outcome` per shown tour
- Currently one contextual tour per session
Expected launch volume: under 2,000 events/day at 1,000 DAU and lower for mature cohorts because existing users are not auto-eligible and `contextualToursSeenIds` fills in for eligible new users.
Do not add recurring, render-loop, polling, passive snapshot, or local-state-mirror events for this analysis.
## Privacy Rule
Payloads must remain low-cardinality and bounded. Do not include:
- prompts
- commands
- paths
- URLs
- hostnames
- repo names
- branch names
- user-entered text
- raw errors

Existing users should not receive automatic contextual tours from this rollout. We cannot reliably know whether they have already viewed or used every covered surface, so the least surprising default is to leave them alone and measure this launch on new-user cohorts.
Implementation:
- `contextualToursAutoEligible: false` for profiles whose onboarding is already closed when the rollout first runs
- `contextualToursAutoEligible: true` for profiles still in first-run onboarding when the rollout first runs
- automatic tour requests require `contextualToursAutoEligible === true`
- local `featureInteractions` still records supported surface entry for all users after UI hydration
For existing-user analysis, compare users by actual tour exposure and outcome only when they have exposure. Most existing users should fall into the no-tour baseline for this PR. If a later release adds manual tour entry points or truly new feature education, evaluate that release separately instead of reusing this rollout's eligibility rule.

# Feature Education State
Orca uses local persisted UI state to decide which education surfaces should appear for a user. Keep these concepts separate; they answer different questions and should not be collapsed into one flag.
For the feature-interaction catalog, see [`feature-discovery-interaction-tracking.md`](./feature-discovery-interaction-tracking.md). For retention analysis and dashboard construction, see [`feature-education-retention-analytics.md`](./feature-education-retention-analytics.md).
## State Types
`featureTipsSeenIds` answers: "Has Orca already surfaced this tip?"
Set this when a restart tip is opened, dismissed, or acted on. It prevents the same tip from reappearing after restart, crash, or dismissal. It does not mean the user used the feature.
`contextualToursSeenIds` answers: "Has Orca already surfaced this contextual tour?"
Set this after a tour has rendered a measured target, or when the user skips/completes the tour. It prevents the same tour from showing again. It does not mean the user used the feature.
`contextualToursAutoEligible` answers: "May this profile receive automatic contextual tours from this rollout?"
Missing means Orca has not classified the profile yet. On first hydrated launch after this change, the renderer sets it once:
- `true` when first-run onboarding is still open, which covers new users from this rollout forward
- `false` when onboarding is already closed, which covers existing users
Automatic contextual tours require this flag to be `true`. Existing users still get local feature interaction state recorded when they enter supported surfaces, but they are not auto-toured by this rollout.
`featureInteractions` answers: "Has the user actually interacted with this feature?"
This is the product-state signal for already-discovered features. It lives in `PersistedUIState.featureInteractions`, keyed by `FeatureInteractionId`, and stores the first local interaction timestamp plus a local interaction count:
```ts
{
tasks: {
firstInteractedAt: 1716500000000,
interactionCount: 3
}
}
```
Use this to suppress tips or tours that would teach a feature the user has already found on their own.
## Rules
- Define every trackable feature in `src/shared/feature-interactions.ts`.
- The `interaction` text must clearly state what counts as "used." Avoid vague labels like "seen" or "visited" unless passive visibility is truly the intended signal.
- Record only the first interaction. Repeated opens should not churn the user-data file.
- Record interactions only after persisted UI state is hydrated, so startup defaults cannot overwrite real user data.
- Do not rename or reuse ids. If semantics change materially, add a new id and leave the old one readable.
- Unknown or malformed persisted ids are ignored during hydration for forward/backward compatibility.
- This state is local product state, not telemetry. Analytics should use the bounded feature-education telemetry events (`contextual_tour_shown` and `contextual_tour_outcome`) plus existing downstream action events, rather than reading or uploading the persisted state blob.
- Automatic contextual tours are new-user-only for this rollout. Do not reset `contextualToursAutoEligible` for existing users unless the product decision changes for a later release.
## Adding A Tip
When a tip should not show after the user has already used the feature, add the relevant interaction id to the tip definition:
```ts
{
id: 'voice-dictation',
completedByFeatureInteractions: ['voice-dictation']
}
```
Then make sure the feature records its interaction at the meaningful product moment. For example, voice dictation records only after a session reaches `listening`, not when the settings pane opens.
## Adding A Tour
Tours still use `contextualToursSeenIds` to avoid repeating the same tour. If opening or using the toured surface should also suppress future education for that feature, call `recordFeatureInteraction(featureId)` from the surface's meaningful interaction point.
For contextual tours in this branch, `useContextualTour(...)` records the matching interaction once the surface is enabled and persisted UI is ready. Surface-specific gates decide what "enabled" means; for example, the browser tour waits for a non-blank local browser page.
## Test Profiles
Completed-onboarding E2E profiles should preseed both education exposure and feature interaction state. That keeps first-run education from covering unrelated UI under test while preserving production behavior for real profiles.
Profiles that model existing users should also set `contextualToursAutoEligible: false`; profiles that explicitly exercise contextual tours can set it to `true`.

## Ubuntu 22.04 Prerequisites
The supported deployment matrix covers Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 and current
Debian stable. Package names can differ on other Debian-derived releases.
## Ubuntu and Debian prerequisites
Install the AppImage runtime dependency and Xvfb:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl libfuse2 xvfb
sudo apt-get install -y curl file jq xvfb zlib1g-dev
```
On Ubuntu 22.04, install `libfuse2` to execute the AppImage through FUSE. On
Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian, the equivalent package may be `libfuse2t64`. FUSE is
optional: without it, use the AppImage's supported extraction path:
```bash
cd /opt/orca
./orca-linux.AppImage --appimage-extract
/opt/orca/squashfs-root/AppRun serve --port 6768
```
Docker commonly has no FUSE device. Use `--appimage-extract` once or
`--appimage-extract-and-run`; neither requires a privileged container. The
extract-and-run wrapper can print extracted paths before Orca starts, so
automation that requires stdout to contain only the ready JSON should extract
once and invoke `squashfs-root/AppRun`.

The command prints the runtime endpoint and pairing URL. Stop it with `Ctrl+C`.
`--pairing-address` is only the address advertised to clients. It does not
change the listener bind address. Orca binds its WebSocket listener, then
combines the actual bound port with the advertised host when the address omits
a port. Use a reachable LAN/Tailscale hostname or IP, or a complete reverse
proxy URL such as `https://orca.example.com/runtime` (`http(s)` is normalized
to `ws(s)`). Wildcard addresses such as `*`, `0.0.0.0`, and `::` cannot be
advertised.
The command writes one ready block to stdout after the listener bind and
pairing initialization complete:
```text
Orca server ready
Bound endpoint: ws://0.0.0.0:6768
Advertised endpoint: ws://100.64.1.20:6768
Pairing URL: orca://pair?code=...
```
For supervisors, request the versioned single-line JSON contract:
```bash
/opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage serve --port 6768 \
--pairing-address 100.64.1.20 --json
```
The actual output is one compact line; this example is pretty-printed for
readability:
```json
{
"type": "orca_server_ready",
"schemaVersion": 1,
"runtimeId": "...",
"endpoint": "ws://0.0.0.0:6768",

"webClientUrl": "...",
"scope": "runtime",
"qr": null
}
}
```
`endpoint` remains a compatibility alias for `boundEndpoint`; new automation
should use the explicit bound and advertised fields.
When the server remains usable but cannot mint an offer, `pairing` remains an
object with `available:false`, a stable `reason`, and operator `guidance`; it is
never silently omitted. `--recipe-json` is stricter and exits with that reason
because its contract requires a pairing URL. Stop a foreground server with
`Ctrl+C`. Stable reasons are `disabled_by_operator`, `websocket_unavailable`,
`device_registry_unavailable`, `e2ee_key_unavailable`, and
`invalid_advertised_endpoint`.

This disables a security boundary. Prefer a dedicated unprivileged service

## Pairing troubleshooting
- A pairing offer is a capability containing a device credential and E2EE
material. Share it only with the intended client and do not put it in proxy
access logs.
- `boundEndpoint` is where the process listens; `advertisedEndpoint` is what a
client dials. A valid-looking offer still cannot connect if DNS, firewall,
Docker port publishing, Tailscale policy, or a reverse proxy does not route
the advertised endpoint to the bound port.
- An omitted advertised port uses the actual bound port, including a fallback
port selected after a collision. An explicit proxy port is preserved. A port
mismatch therefore means the supplied external routing is wrong, not that
Orca changes it.
- Reverse proxies must support WebSocket upgrade and route the advertised path.
Use `wss://` or `https://` when TLS terminates at the proxy; do not advertise
`ws://` through an HTTPS-only endpoint.
- Hostnames, IPv4, bracketed IPv6, and raw IPv6 literals are supported. IPv6
still requires an IPv6-reachable listener/network path.
- `xvfb-run` and `dbus-run-session -- xvfb-run` remain valid diagnostic launch
shapes, but neither should be needed when `Xvfb` is installed and no display
is configured. Repeated D-Bus messages without a ready block indicate startup
did not reach serve mode; confirm the AppImage version and exact argument
order, especially `--no-sandbox serve`.
If you later install the desktop CLI from Orca settings, use that CLI for normal
shell workflows. Keep the AppImage path in systemd so service restarts do not
depend on an interactive shell profile.
## Upgrade
`orca serve` never updates itself. In headless mode Orca wires up no auto-updater
at all — the built-in updater only runs in the desktop GUI, and no paired mobile
or web client can trigger it remotely. Upgrading is always a deliberate step:
replace the AppImage and restart the service.
Two facts make this safe and predictable:
- **State lives in the service user's home, not next to the binary.** Persisted
data is under `/home/orca/.config/` (Orca uses both an `orca` and an `Orca`
directory there), fully independent of `/opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage`.
Replacing the binary never touches projects, worktree metadata, terminal
history, orchestration state, or paired-device keys — so mobile and web
clients reconnect after an upgrade without re-pairing.
- **New builds migrate old state on load.** Orca loads older `orca-data.json`
state into the current schema and writes it back in the current shape, so a
forward upgrade needs no manual data step.
Rolling back is the case that needs care — see [Roll back](#roll-back).
### Record the version you deploy
Orca has no headless version command: there is no `--version` flag or `version`
subcommand, and `orca serve` prints only its endpoint. Choose a release tag
explicitly instead of following the `latest` URL, and record it next to the
binary so upgrades are auditable. The steps below keep that record in
`/opt/orca/VERSION`.
### Upgrade steps
Never download straight onto `/opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage`. The AppImage is
FUSE-mounted, so overwriting it in place while the service runs can crash or
corrupt the live process — and even with the service stopped, a failed or partial
download would clobber the working binary. Instead download to a temporary name
on the same filesystem, verify it, then swap it in with an atomic rename.
Check capacity before starting:
```bash
sudo chown root:root /opt/orca
sudo chmod 755 /opt/orca
sudo test ! -L /opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage
sudo chown root:root /opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage
sudo chmod 755 /opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage
# Clear predictable staging names left by an older attempt after locking the directory
sudo rm -f /opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage.new /opt/orca/VERSION.new \
/opt/orca/orca-linux.AppImage.recovering /opt/orca/VERSION.recovering
sudo du -sh /home/orca/.config
df -h /opt/orca /home/orca
```
`/opt/orca` needs room for the compressed Orca profile archive, the staged
build, and the rollback binary. A rollback extracts the old profile and preserves
the post-upgrade Orca profile directories, so `/home` needs room for both copies.

remain active for the whole operation:

The profile archive created in step 3 captures both Orca profile directory names
when present without rewinding unrelated tools under `/home/orca/.config`. The
`.ready` suffix is published only after the prior binary, version record, and
profile archive are complete. If you run the managed Xvfb unit, only
`orca-serve.service` needs restarting — leave `orca-xvfb.service` running.
### Verify
```bash
sudo journalctl -u orca-serve.service -f
```
A healthy start prints one `Orca server ready` block with the actual bound and
advertised endpoints. Verify those values rather than assuming the configured
port, because a collision can select a fallback port.
Confirm a client reconnects before you discard the backup. The timestamped
rollback bundles are not pruned automatically. After the new version satisfies
your retention policy, select and inspect the newest complete bundle before
removing it:
```bash
shopt -s nullglob
ORCA_ROLLBACK_SETS=(/opt/orca/orca-rollback-*.ready)
((${#ORCA_ROLLBACK_SETS[@]} > 0))
ORCA_ROLLBACK=${ORCA_ROLLBACK_SETS[${#ORCA_ROLLBACK_SETS[@]} - 1]}
printf 'Removing rollback bundle: %s\n' "$ORCA_ROLLBACK"
sudo test -d "$ORCA_ROLLBACK"
sudo rm -rf -- "$ORCA_ROLLBACK"
```
Each `.ready` directory is a self-contained rollback generation; never combine
files from different bundles.
### Roll back
A rollback is **not** binary-only safe. Once a newer build has started, it can
rewrite `orca-data.json` in the current schema. If an older build then writes
that file, it can discard fields it does not recognize. The rolling
`orca-data.json.bak.*` files are corruption-recovery snapshots, not a dedicated
pre-upgrade copy, and normal writes can rotate them away. To roll back cleanly,
restore the backup from step 3 **and** swap the binary back. Run this block as one
Bash script:
```bash
set -euo pipefail

# Keyboard Layout Shortcut Dispatch
## Problem
Keyboard shortcuts must follow the user's active keyboard layout. A shortcut like `Cmd+W`
means "Command plus the key that produces `w`", not "Command plus the physical key labeled
W on a US keyboard." Physical-position matching breaks Dvorak, Colemak, AZERTY, JIS, and
other non-US layouts, and it also makes user keybinding overrides impossible to reason about.
## Decision
Orca app shortcuts dispatch by logical key by default.
The shared keybinding registry in `src/shared/keybindings.ts` is the source of truth for
app commands, configurable commands, shortcut recording, labels, conflict detection, browser
guest forwarding, and terminal pane commands. Code handling a user-facing app command must
call `keybindingMatchesAction`, `keybindingMatchesInput`, or a policy function built on those
helpers.
Physical `KeyboardEvent.code` may only decide a shortcut when the key is layout-invariant or
the platform cannot provide a real logical key.
Allowed physical-code uses:
- Modifier key release tracking, such as left/right Control release for held `Ctrl+Tab`.
- Layout-invariant keys, such as arrows, Tab, Enter, Escape, Backspace, Delete, Insert,
PageUp, PageDown, and explicit numpad bindings.
- Dead, unidentified, or missing logical keys where `KeyboardEvent.key` cannot describe the
produced key.
- Terminal byte encoding where the intent is a physical terminal escape sequence rather than
an Orca command.
Disallowed physical-code uses:
- Letter shortcuts for app actions.
- Punctuation shortcuts for app actions when `KeyboardEvent.key` reports the produced
punctuation.
- Clipboard shortcuts that are exposed as app or terminal UI commands.
- Hardcoded undo/redo/new/close/copy/paste handling outside the shared registry.
## Terminal Boundary
Terminal handling has two different jobs:
1. Orca commands that act on terminal UI, such as copy selection, paste, search, clear,
pane focus, split, and close. These are app shortcuts and must be layout-aware.
2. Bytes sent to the shell, such as readline escapes and Option-as-Alt sequences. These may
use physical key positions when terminal compatibility requires it.
This boundary is intentional. It lets non-US layouts use Orca commands naturally while
preserving shell behavior where users expect physical terminal-control sequences.
## Regression Requirements
Shortcut tests must cover both directions of a non-QWERTY swap:
- The key that produces the configured logical character must match, even if its physical code
differs.
- The physical US key must not match when it produces a different logical character.
Tests must also cover intentional exceptions:
- Dead or missing key fallback.
- Shifted punctuation aliases.
- Numpad-specific bindings.
- Terminal byte-encoding paths that intentionally use physical codes.

# New User Parallel Work Telemetry
## Goal
Measure whether the new parallel-work tours and the eight-step `Getting started` flow improve new-user activation and retention.
The product question is not "did the tour render?" It is:
- Did users who were eligible for the new parallel-work education retain better at D1, D3, and D7?
- Did seeing or completing the tour increase the behaviors that the activation plan expects: terminal splits, two agents in one worktree, two worktrees within 72 hours, task/review source use, setup script configuration, notifications, and agent capability setup?
- Where do users leave the education flow: before the tour starts, during a tour, after skipping a tour, after opening `Getting started`, or partway through the eight setup steps?
This document implements the telemetry portion of [`new-user-parallel-work-activation.md`](./new-user-parallel-work-activation.md).
Validation mode: the current branch logs the would-be event name and payload to the console instead of sending these new feature-education events through product telemetry. Keep the logged payload shape identical to the event payloads below so reviewers can verify what would be emitted before product telemetry is re-enabled.
## Product Decisions
Question: Should Orca keep, revise, or disable the automatic `workspace-agent-sessions` tour for new users?
Decision owner/use: Product and growth review the retention and activation read after rollout. If exposed users retain and activate better than eligible-but-unexposed users, keep or expand the tour. If exposed users underperform or skip/cancel heavily, revise copy, timing, or gating.
Question: Which part of the education flow is weak?
Decision owner/use: If users usually stop on a specific tour step, revise that step or shorten the tour. If users complete the tour but do not progress through `Getting started`, improve the handoff. If users open `Getting started` but stall before the first two parallel-work steps, revise the checklist actions.
Dashboard: `New User Parallel Work Activation`
Action: Use the dashboard to decide whether to continue rollout, adjust the tour, reorder checklist steps, or add missing downstream action telemetry.
## Existing Telemetry To Reuse
Keep the existing contextual-tour events as the primary tour exposure and outcome contract:
- `contextual_tour_shown`
- `contextual_tour_outcome`
`contextual_tour_outcome` already carries:
- `tour_id`
- `source`
- `outcome`: `completed`, `skipped`, or `cancelled`
- `steps_seen`
- `total_steps`
For the current branch, `workspace-agent-sessions` is the activation tour. Its source should distinguish automatic first-workspace exposure from checklist-triggered education:
- `workspace_agent_sessions_visible` for automatic surface-driven tour exposure
- `setup_guide_parallel_work` for the explicit checklist `Try it out` path
Do not add one telemetry event per tour opportunity or step render. Opportunity checks are driven by local UI eligibility, retries, target visibility, modal state, and session guards; emitting every "not shown" reason would turn tour gating into passive eligibility telemetry. One shown event plus one outcome event keeps volume low and still answers whether users saw, skipped, cancelled, completed, and how far they got.
## Tour Depth Improvement
Add stable step-depth fields to `contextual_tour_outcome` so the analysis can tell whether a user reached the actual late steps, not only how many visible steps happened to render.
Additive schema fields:
- `furthest_step_index`: integer `1..8`
- `defined_step_count`: integer `1..8`
Keep `steps_seen` and `total_steps`:
- `steps_seen` remains the count of unique rendered visible steps.
- `total_steps` remains the visible-step denominator for the user session.
- `furthest_step_index` is the highest 1-based index from the tour definition reached by the user.
- `defined_step_count` is the number of steps defined for that tour, regardless of target skipping.
This handles target-skipping correctly. A user who sees tour steps 1, 4, and 5 should report `steps_seen: 3`, `total_steps: 3`, `furthest_step_index: 5`, and `defined_step_count: 5`.
## New Setup Guide Events
The eight `Getting started` steps need a small telemetry contract because they are not contextual-tour steps. They are durable activation milestones.
### `setup_guide_opened`
Emit once when the modal opens.
Payload:
- `source`: `sidebar`, `contextual_tour`, `settings`, `feature_wall`, `help_menu`, or `unknown`
- `initial_completed_count`: integer `0..8`
- `total_steps`: integer `8`
- `first_incomplete_step_id`: one of the eight setup step ids, or `none`
Use:
- Measures whether users reach the checklist after the tour.
- Establishes starting depth so existing progress does not look like checklist-driven progress.
### `setup_guide_closed`
Emit once when a shown setup guide closes or unmounts.
Payload:
- `source`: same value used by `setup_guide_opened`
- `outcome`: `completed`, `dismissed`, or `interrupted`
- `initial_completed_count`: integer `0..8`
- `final_completed_count`: integer `0..8`
- `total_steps`: integer `8`
- `active_step_id`: one of the eight setup step ids, or `none`
Use:
- Measures whether users treat the checklist as useful or dismiss it without progress.
- Gives a compact "how far through the 8 steps" read without uploading a progress snapshot on every render.
### `setup_guide_step_completed`
Emit once per setup step when that step first transitions from incomplete to complete while the setup guide is visible. Hidden/background progress is persisted locally as baseline state but not emitted, because async setup refresh cannot reliably distinguish old completions from new user action.
Payload:
- `step_id`: one of `two-worktrees`, `browser`, `notifications`, `default-agent`, `task-sources`, `setup-script`, `add-two-repos`, `agent-capabilities`
- `section_id`: `parallel-work` or `setup`
- `completed_count`: integer `1..8`
- `total_steps`: integer `8`
- `setup_guide_visible`: boolean
Use:
- Measures the in-guide depth through the eight steps without backfilling old setup state on launch.
- Lets retention analysis bucket users by `0`, `1`, `2`, `3-4`, `5-7`, and `8` completed setup steps.
Implementation detail: persist a local set of emitted setup-guide step ids, similar in spirit to `contextualToursSeenIds`, so inferred durable state does not re-emit on every launch. Do not upload that local set.
## Downstream Activation Events
Reuse existing downstream events whenever possible:
- `workspace_created` for worktree/workspace creation depth
- `agent_started` for agent activity and follow-up actions
- `settings_changed` for supported settings such as notifications
- setup script prompt events for setup-script configuration paths
- task/source-specific events where they already exist
Add action-specific downstream telemetry only when the retention question cannot be answered from existing events. The first likely gap is terminal splitting. The activation plan names first-session terminal split as a primary success criterion, but the branch currently records `terminal-pane-split` as local feature-interaction state, not product telemetry.
If no existing telemetry captures terminal split, add:
### `terminal_pane_split`
Emit when a split succeeds, capped to the first split for each `source` + `direction` pair per UTC day on the local profile. This keeps the event useful for activation cohorts without making heavy terminal users dominate telemetry volume.
Payload:
- `source`: `contextual_tour`, `keyboard`, `context_menu`, `command`, `unknown`
- `direction`: `vertical` or `horizontal`
Do not include pane ids, worktree ids, paths, commands, prompts, repo names, branch names, hostnames, or terminal content.
## Retention Analysis
Use new-user eligibility as the least-biased baseline:
1. Eligible baseline: new-user cohorts represented by first-run/onboarding events rather than uploading local tour eligibility state.
2. Exposed cohort: users with `contextual_tour_shown` where `tour_id = workspace-agent-sessions`.
3. Tour outcome cohorts: users with `contextual_tour_outcome` broken down by `outcome`.
4. Tour depth cohorts: `furthest_step_index / defined_step_count` and `steps_seen / total_steps`.
5. Checklist depth cohorts: latest `setup_guide_step_completed.completed_count`, bucketed as `0`, `1`, `2`, `3-4`, `5-7`, and `8`.
Primary retention read:
- D1, D3, and D7 return to `app_opened`
- Compare new-user baseline, shown, completed, skipped, cancelled, and checklist-depth cohorts
Primary activation read:
- terminal split in first workspace session
- two agent sessions in one worktree
- two worktrees within 72 hours
- follow-up/manual agent action
- task/review source use
- setup script configured
- notifications configured
- agent capabilities completed
Interpretation rules:
- A completed tour with no downstream activation means the tour is educational but not converting.
- A skipped tour with strong downstream activation means the feature may be discoverable without the tour.
- A high cancelled rate usually points to target loss, modal conflicts, or timing problems.
- Strong checklist-depth retention with weak tour retention means the checklist is the value driver, not the automatic tour.
## Volume Estimate
Telemetry volume estimate:
- Trigger: contextual tour shown/outcome, setup guide open/close, setup step first completion, optional terminal split
- Expected events/user/day: 2-6 for new users who encounter the flow
- Max events/user/day: about 14 on a heavy first day: 2 tour events, 2 setup guide events, 8 setup step completions, 1-2 split events
- At 1,000 DAU: expected 2,000-6,000 events/day
- Monthly at 1,000 DAU: expected 60,000-180,000 events/month
- Approval note: The events answer the rollout decision directly and are bounded by explicit user actions or one-time durable setup completions. There are no timers, render-loop events, polling snapshots, or passive heartbeats.
If observed volume exceeds expectation, remove or sample `setup_guide_opened` / `setup_guide_closed` before removing completion events. Completion events are the durable activation-depth read.
## Privacy
All payloads must be low-cardinality and schema-bounded.
Never include:
- prompts
- terminal commands
- paths
- URLs
- hostnames
- repo names
- branch names
- task titles
- user-authored text
- raw errors
- tokens
- pane ids, worktree ids, repo ids, or other persistent product identifiers
## Implementation Plan
1. Extend `contextual_tour_outcome` schema in `src/shared/telemetry-events.ts` with optional `furthest_step_index` and `defined_step_count`.
2. Track the highest reached defined tour step in `ContextualTourOverlay.tsx` alongside the existing `steps_seen` set.
3. Add setup-guide event schemas and bounded enums in `src/shared/telemetry-events.ts`.
4. Add a setup-guide telemetry helper in `src/renderer/src/lib/feature-education-telemetry.ts` or a dedicated setup-guide telemetry module.
5. Emit `setup_guide_opened` and `setup_guide_closed` from `SetupGuideModal.tsx`.
6. Emit `setup_guide_step_completed` from a small hook that observes visible setup-guide progress transitions, persists emitted step ids locally, and ignores hidden/background completions except as local baseline state.
7. Add `terminal_pane_split` only if no existing telemetry captures successful terminal splits.
8. Add schema tests for accepted payloads, rejected raw strings, count bounds, and enum bounds.
9. Add renderer tests that prove each modal open emits one open event, each close emits one close event, each step completion emits once, rerenders do not re-emit, and pre-completed persisted steps are not backfilled repeatedly.
## Dashboard Tiles
Create a PostHog dashboard named `New User Parallel Work Activation`.
Tiles:
- Tour exposure: `contextual_tour_shown` by `tour_id` and `source`
- Tour outcome: `contextual_tour_outcome` by `outcome`
- Tour depth: median `furthest_step_index / defined_step_count`
- Setup guide reach: `setup_guide_opened` by `source`
- Setup guide close outcome: `setup_guide_closed` by `outcome`
- Eight-step depth: latest `setup_guide_step_completed.completed_count` bucket
- Activation funnel: tour shown -> tour outcome -> setup guide opened -> first two setup steps complete -> D1/D3/D7 return
- Downstream actions: tour shown -> terminal split -> two agents in one worktree -> two worktrees within 72 hours
Do not publish dashboard tiles that require raw user content or identifiers.

# OpenCode Commit Message Stdin Delivery
## Problem
OpenCode's preset Source Control AI path passes the full generated prompt as the final `opencode run` argv positional. Commit-message prompts include branch, staged file summary, user instructions, and the staged patch. The patch is capped by `STAGED_DIFF_BYTE_BUDGET = 200_000`, but the implementation uses JavaScript string length, not encoded byte length, so argv can still be much larger than command-line limits on Windows and some POSIX/SSH wrapper paths before OpenCode starts.
Verified current code:
- `src/shared/commit-message-agent-spec.ts:24-32` defines `promptDelivery` as the argv/stdin contract for large diffs.
- `src/shared/commit-message-agent-spec.ts:322-337` sets OpenCode to `promptDelivery: 'argv'` and appends `prompt`.
- `src/shared/commit-message-plan.ts:108-123` already routes `promptDelivery === 'stdin'` into `stdinPayload`.
- `src/main/text-generation/commit-message-text-generation.ts:470-601` pipes local `stdinPayload` to child stdin.
- `src/main/providers/ssh-git-provider.ts:122-140` forwards `stdinPayload` as relay `stdin`; `src/relay/agent-exec-handler.ts:160-303` writes it to the remote child.
- `src/shared/commit-message-plan.test.ts:36` currently locks in the broken OpenCode argv behavior.
## Feasibility Gate
`opencode --version` on the local machine reports `1.15.13`. `opencode run --help` confirms the required args exist: `--model`, `--agent`, `--format`, and `--variant`, with optional `[message..]` positionals. It does not document stdin prompt input.
Shipping gate: before changing the preset, run a controlled smoke test using the exact no-message shape, and verify stdout clearly reflects the stdin prompt rather than an empty task:
```sh
printf '%s\n' 'Write: test commit' | opencode run --model <model> --agent build --format default
```
Also smoke `--variant <level>` if the selected model exposes thinking levels. If credentials, model access, or an unsupported OpenCode version block validation, do not treat `--help` alone as proof. If stdin fails, do not add an argv fallback; stop and choose a different no-argv transport or version-gated behavior.
## Root Cause
The planner and both local/SSH execution paths already know how to carry stdin payloads. The mismatch is the OpenCode preset args.
OpenCode is not the only argv-delivered path in the registry: Cursor and custom commands that explicitly use `{prompt}` still put prompts in argv. They are out of scope here and should not be described as fixed by this change.
## Non-Goals
- Do not change prompt wording, diff truncation, output cleanup, model discovery, or model selection.
- Do not change interactive OpenCode terminal launch behavior.
- Do not change GitHub/GitLab/provider review flows.
- Do not change Cursor argv delivery or custom command `{prompt}` semantics.
- Do not add a second OpenCode execution path.
## Design
1. Change the OpenCode preset spec to `promptDelivery: 'stdin'`.
2. Add a short why-comment near that setting: OpenCode prompt input can contain large staged diffs and must stay out of argv.
3. Remove `prompt` from OpenCode `buildArgs`. The preset args must be exactly `run --model <model> --agent build --format default`, plus `--variant <thinkingLevel>` when present.
4. Keep `modelSource`, `modelDiscovery`, default model, and dynamic-model fallback behavior unchanged.
5. Keep preset `agentCommandOverride` behavior unchanged: an override such as `npx opencode` prefixes the same OpenCode args, while the prompt remains `stdinPayload`.
6. Accept the shared-spec blast radius: OpenCode prompts for commit-message, PR-field, and branch-name generation all move to stdin because they all call `planCommitMessageGeneration(...)`. If the requirement is commit-message-only, this design is wrong and needs operation-aware delivery instead.
## Data Flow
- Source Control AI receives a staged context and builds the prompt. The context is not atomic: branch, staged summary, and staged patch are read by separate git commands before generation.
- `planCommitMessageGeneration(...)` validates the agent, model, and thinking level against the existing dynamic/static model rules.
- Because OpenCode becomes stdin-delivered, the planner passes an empty prompt into `buildArgs` and stores the real prompt in `plan.stdinPayload`.
- Local generation writes `stdinPayload` to the child process stdin.
- SSH generation serializes the same plan to the relay as `{ stdin: plan.stdinPayload }`, and the relay writes it to the remote child process stdin after spawn.
This fix removes the prompt from process argv only. It does not reduce prompt memory, model latency, token use, or diff truncation pressure. Remote execution still sends the prompt in one JSON-RPC frame; the relay frame cap is 16 MB, and today's prompt budget is under that, but future budget increases must account for it.
## Edge Cases
- Large staged diff: the prompt must be absent from `args`, including no empty-string placeholder.
- Thinking level selected: preserve `--variant <level>`.
- No thinking level selected: omit `--variant`.
- Dynamic OpenCode model not present in the seed catalog: preserve the existing dynamic fallback and still pass the selected model id.
- Agent command override: `npx opencode` becomes `binary: 'npx'`, `args: ['opencode', 'run', ...]`, with prompt in `stdinPayload`.
- Windows batch shims: removing the prompt from argv also removes prompt metacharacters from the batch command line; do not route the prompt through `{prompt}` for this preset.
- SSH: the prompt is JSON-serialized as `stdin`, not shell-quoted, and is written by the relay after spawn.
- SSH payload size: this is safe for the current prompt budget, not an unbounded transport. Anything near 16 MB needs streaming or another transport.
- OpenCode ignores stdin: the smoke test must catch this before shipping because `--help` does not document stdin.
- Output cleanup remains unchanged; OpenCode stderr/status chatter should be handled by existing failure and cleanup logic.
## Consistency And Concurrency
- No cache invalidation is introduced. Each generation plans from the request's current settings and the staged context supplied to that request.
- The staged context is not a true snapshot. If the index changes between the summary and patch reads, or after the context is read, the generated message can describe a mixed or stale view. That is existing behavior and not fixed here.
- Multiple windows can request generation for the same worktree. Local execution does not serialize same-`cwd` requests; the cancel map is keyed by `operation:local:<cwd>` and the newest request overwrites the reachable cancel token. Do not claim this change fixes local multi-window races.
- SSH execution queues matching `operation + cwd` lanes inside a `SshGitProvider` instance. The relay itself tracks only one active child per lane and cancels a prior active child if another request for the same lane reaches it, which matters if separate provider instances/windows bypass the same queue.
- Settings or command overrides changed while a generation is in flight affect the next request only; the current child keeps its immutable plan.
## Test Plan
- `src/shared/commit-message-agent-spec.test.ts`: add OpenCode coverage asserting `promptDelivery === 'stdin'`, no prompt or empty placeholder in `buildArgs`, variant preservation, and no variant when absent.
- `src/shared/commit-message-plan.test.ts`: update OpenCode expectations so `stdinPayload` receives the prompt and argv excludes it; include an OpenCode command-override case.
- Because `planCommitMessageGeneration(...)` is reused by commit-message, PR-field, and branch-name generation, the plan tests are the main regression coverage for the shared blast radius.
- Keep existing Codex stdin, custom-command stdin, local child stdin, SSH provider, and relay stdin tests passing.
- Run targeted Vitest for the touched shared tests, plus `pnpm typecheck` and `pnpm lint` for the implementation branch.
- Run the OpenCode stdin smoke test from the feasibility gate. If it cannot run, do not mark implementation risk as resolved.
## Lightweight Eng Review
- Scope: shared preset-agent plumbing and shared tests, with an explicit shared-operation blast radius for OpenCode commit-message, PR-field, and branch-name prompts. No renderer redesign, settings migration, hosted review flow, or provider-specific review behavior.
- Architecture/data flow: use the existing `promptDelivery` contract; local and SSH execution already honor `stdinPayload`.
- Failure modes covered: prompt re-enters argv, `--variant` is dropped, unknown dynamic model ids regress, command overrides change stdin behavior, remote JSON-RPC frame limits are ignored, or OpenCode accepts the flags but ignores stdin.
- Performance/blast radius: no renderer, watcher, IPC subscription, or startup cost. Local argv shrinks; remote payload size is unchanged because the prompt still crosses JSON-RPC as stdin data in one frame.
- UI quality bar: no visual change; skip visual-design review.
- Screenshots: none required for this headless invocation change. If PR evidence is needed, prefer unit-test output and the controlled OpenCode stdin smoke result.
- Residual risk: OpenCode stdin prompt input is not documented by `opencode run --help`; remote hosts may have different OpenCode versions; existing local multi-window cancellation races and staged-context non-atomicity remain.
## Rollout
1. Update OpenCode spec delivery and args.
2. Update shared spec and planner tests.
3. Run targeted tests, typecheck, lint, and the OpenCode smoke test before shipping.

# Manual Network Address Entry — Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Let users type a custom IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname into the desktop mobile-pairing Network Interface dropdown, so the QR code can target a host the OS hasn't auto-discovered.
**Architecture:** Replace the inner `Select` of `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection` with a `Popover + Command` ("combobox") pattern modeled on the existing `AgentCombobox`. A new shared pure function `parseManualNetworkAddress` enforces the input grammar; a new helper `buildComboboxEntries` builds the row list (filtered interfaces + an optional `Use "<query>"` row). The custom selection is session-scoped.
**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, React 18, shadcn/ui primitives (`Command`, `Popover`, `Button`) from `src/renderer/src/components/ui/`, vitest, `@testing-library/react`. No new dependencies.
**Spec:** [`docs/reference/2026-06-27-orca-mobile-manual-network-address-design.md`](../2026-06-27-orca-mobile-manual-network-address-design.md)
---
## File map
**Create:**
- `src/shared/network/manual-address.ts` — pure parser.
- `src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts` — parser unit tests.
- `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx` — UI render tests.
**Modify:**
- `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.ts` — swap `mergeForSelect` for `buildComboboxEntries` (or add `buildComboboxEntries` and keep the old one if other call sites exist; confirm with grep before deleting).
- `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts` — replace `mergeForSelect` tests with `buildComboboxEntries` tests.
- `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx` — swap `Select` for `Popover + Command`.
**Reference (read-only, do not modify):**
- `src/renderer/src/components/ui/command.tsx` — `Command`, `CommandEmpty`, `CommandInput`, `CommandItem`, `CommandList`, `CommandSeparator`.
- `src/renderer/src/components/ui/popover.tsx` — `Popover`, `PopoverTrigger`, `PopoverContent`.
- `src/renderer/src/components/ui/button.tsx` — `Button`.
- `src/renderer/src/components/agent/AgentCombobox.tsx` — full reference implementation of the controlled cmdk pattern.
- `src/renderer/src/components/agent/agent-combobox-command-state.ts` — `createAgentComboboxCommandState`, `resolveAgentComboboxCommandState`, `updateAgentComboboxCommandValue`.
- `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobilePairingQrSection.tsx` — consumer of `selectedAddress`; unchanged.
**Out of scope:** mobile-side endpoint override (`mobile/app/pair-scan.tsx`); main-process code; persistent storage of custom addresses; IPv6, ports, non-Tailscale hostnames.

## Task 1: Add `parseManualNetworkAddress` (TDD)
**Files:**
- Create: `src/shared/network/manual-address.ts`
- Create: `src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Confirm no existing call site for `mergeForSelect`**
Run:
```bash
grep -rn "mergeForSelect" src/ docs/ 2>/dev/null
```
Expected: no matches. (If there are matches, stop and update Task 2 to keep `mergeForSelect` and only add `buildComboboxEntries` alongside it.)
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing tests**
Create `src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts` with this exact content:
```ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import { parseManualNetworkAddress } from './manual-address'
describe('parseManualNetworkAddress', () => {
describe('IPv4', () => {
it('accepts canonical IPv4', () => {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('192.168.1.24')).toEqual({
ok: true,
address: '192.168.1.24'
})
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('100.64.1.20')).toEqual({
ok: true,
address: '100.64.1.20'
})
})
it('accepts boundary IPv4 values', () => {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('0.0.0.0').ok).toBe(true)
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('255.255.255.255').ok).toBe(true)
})
it('rejects malformed IPv4', () => {
for (const bad of ['', ' ', '1.2.3', '1.2.3.4.5', '256.0.0.1']) {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress(bad)).toEqual({
ok: false,
error: 'Enter an IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname'
})
}
})
it('rejects leading zeros in octets', () => {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('01.02.03.04')).toEqual({
ok: false,
error: 'Enter an IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname'
})
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('0.0.0.0').ok).toBe(true)
})
})
describe('Tailscale MagicDNS hostname', () => {
it('accepts short MagicDNS names', () => {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('my-mac.ts.net')).toEqual({
ok: true,
address: 'my-mac.ts.net'
})
})
it('accepts tailnet-qualified MagicDNS names', () => {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net')).toEqual({
ok: true,
address: 'my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net'
})
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('a.b.c.d.ts.net').ok).toBe(true)
})
it('is case-insensitive', () => {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress('MY-MAC.TS.NET').ok).toBe(true)
})
it('rejects non-Tailscale hostnames', () => {
for (const bad of ['my-mac', 'my-mac.ts.com', '-foo.ts.net', 'my-mac.com']) {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress(bad).ok).toBe(false)
}
})
})
describe('length and whitespace', () => {
it('rejects inputs longer than 253 chars', () => {
const long = `${'a'.repeat(250)}.ts.net`
expect(long.length).toBeGreaterThan(253)
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress(long).ok).toBe(false)
})
it('trims leading and trailing whitespace before validating', () => {
expect(parseManualNetworkAddress(' 192.168.1.24 ')).toEqual({
ok: true,
address: '192.168.1.24'
})
})
})
})
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests to verify they fail**
Run from repo root:
```bash
pnpm vitest run src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts
```
Expected: error like `Cannot find module './manual-address'`. This is the failing-test step — do not skip it.
- [ ] **Step 4: Implement `parseManualNetworkAddress`**
Create `src/shared/network/manual-address.ts` with this exact content:
```ts
// Why: pure shared helper so the same validation runs in renderer
// today and in any future CLI/main-process caller without duplicating
// the IPv4 + Tailscale MagicDNS grammar.
const IPV4_OCTET = '(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|1[0-9][0-9]|[1-9]?[0-9])'
const IPV4 = `(?:${IPV4_OCTET}\\.){3}${IPV4_OCTET}`
// MagicDNS hostname: lowercase letters/digits/hyphens, dot-separated, ending in .ts.net.
// Labels may not start or end with a hyphen; max 63 chars per label (DNS limit).
const MAGICDNS_LABEL = '[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?'
const MAGICDNS = `(?:${MAGICDNS_LABEL}\\.)+ts\\.net`
const HOSTNAME_MAX_LENGTH = 253
const ERROR_MESSAGE = 'Enter an IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname'
export type ParseManualAddressResult =
| { ok: true; address: string }
| { ok: false; error: string }
export function parseManualNetworkAddress(input: string): ParseManualAddressResult {
const trimmed = input.trim()
if (trimmed === '' || trimmed.length > HOSTNAME_MAX_LENGTH) {
return { ok: false, error: ERROR_MESSAGE }
}
if (/\s/.test(trimmed)) {
return { ok: false, error: ERROR_MESSAGE }
}
const ipv4Regex = new RegExp(`^${IPV4}$`)
if (ipv4Regex.test(trimmed)) {
return { ok: true, address: trimmed }
}
const magicRegex = new RegExp(`^(?:${MAGICDNS})$`, 'i')
if (magicRegex.test(trimmed)) {
return { ok: true, address: trimmed }
}
return { ok: false, error: ERROR_MESSAGE }
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests to verify they pass**
Run:
```bash
pnpm vitest run src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts
```
Expected: all tests pass.
- [ ] **Step 6: Lint and typecheck**
```bash
pnpm lint src/shared/network/
pnpm typecheck
```
Expected: no errors. Fix any and re-run before continuing.
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add src/shared/network/manual-address.ts src/shared/network/manual-address.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(mobile-pairing): add parseManualNetworkAddress validator"
```

## Task 2: Replace `mergeForSelect` with `buildComboboxEntries` (TDD)
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.ts`
- Modify: `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Read the current contents of both files**
Read the full source of:
- `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.ts`
- `src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts`
Confirm: `mergeForSelect` is the only exported function besides the `MobileNetworkInterface` type and `selectRefreshedNetworkAddress`. If `selectRefreshedNetworkAddress` is called from `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx`, keep it.
- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing tests for `buildComboboxEntries`**
Replace the entire body of `mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts` with:
```ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import {
buildComboboxEntries,
selectRefreshedNetworkAddress,
type MobileNetworkInterface
} from './mobile-network-interface-selection'
const LAN: MobileNetworkInterface = { name: 'en0', address: '192.168.1.24' }
const TAILNET: MobileNetworkInterface = { name: 'tailscale0', address: '100.64.1.20' }
describe('buildComboboxEntries', () => {
it('returns only interface entries when query is empty', () => {
const entries = buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], '')
expect(entries).toEqual([
{ kind: 'interface', iface: LAN },
{ kind: 'interface', iface: TAILNET }
])
})
it('filters interfaces by substring on address or name (case-insensitive)', () => {
const entries = buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], 'TAIL')
expect(entries).toEqual([{ kind: 'interface', iface: TAILNET }])
})
it('appends a use-query entry when the query is a valid address not in the list', () => {
const entries = buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], 'my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net')
expect(entries).toEqual([
{ kind: 'interface', iface: LAN },
{ kind: 'interface', iface: TAILNET },
{ kind: 'use-query', address: 'my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net' }
])
})
it('suppresses use-query when query equals an existing interface address', () => {
const entries = buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], '100.64.1.20')
expect(entries).toEqual([
{ kind: 'interface', iface: LAN },
{ kind: 'interface', iface: TAILNET }
])
})
it('returns only use-query when interfaces are empty and query is valid', () => {
const entries = buildComboboxEntries([], '1.2.3.4')
expect(entries).toEqual([{ kind: 'use-query', address: '1.2.3.4' }])
})
it('omits use-query when query is invalid', () => {
const entries = buildComboboxEntries([LAN, TAILNET], 'not-an-address')
expect(entries).toEqual([
{ kind: 'interface', iface: LAN },
{ kind: 'interface', iface: TAILNET }
])
})
})
describe('selectRefreshedNetworkAddress', () => {
// Existing behavior is preserved verbatim from the spec.
it('keeps the selected address when refresh discovers a new tailnet interface', () => {
expect(selectRefreshedNetworkAddress(LAN.address, [LAN, TAILNET])).toBe(LAN.address)
})
it('selects the first refreshed interface when there is no current address', () => {
expect(selectRefreshedNetworkAddress(undefined, [TAILNET, LAN])).toBe(TAILNET.address)
})
it('prefers a tailnet address when no address is selected yet', () => {
expect(selectRefreshedNetworkAddress(undefined, [LAN, TAILNET])).toBe(TAILNET.address)
})
it('moves to the first refreshed interface when the current address disappeared', () => {
expect(selectRefreshedNetworkAddress('10.0.0.4', [TAILNET, LAN])).toBe(TAILNET.address)
})
it('moves to a tailnet address when the current address disappeared', () => {
expect(selectRefreshedNetworkAddress('10.0.0.4', [LAN, TAILNET])).toBe(TAILNET.address)
})
it('clears the selection when no interfaces are available', () => {
expect(selectRefreshedNetworkAddress(LAN.address, [])).toBeUndefined()
})
})
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the test file to verify the new tests fail**
```bash
pnpm vitest run src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts
```
Expected: `buildComboboxEntries is not a function` (or import error) for the new block; the `selectRefreshedNetworkAddress` block still passes.
- [ ] **Step 4: Rewrite `mobile-network-interface-selection.ts`**
Replace the entire file with:
```ts
import { isTailnetIPv4Address } from '../../../../shared/tailnet-address'
import { parseManualNetworkAddress } from '../../../../shared/network/manual-address'
export type MobileNetworkInterface = {
name: string
address: string
}
export type ComboboxEntry =
| { kind: 'interface'; iface: MobileNetworkInterface }
| { kind: 'use-query'; address: string }
// Why: the UI needs a single ordered list to render inside CommandList.
// Behavior branches on whether the query parses as a valid address —
// valid queries show the full interface list (so users can pivot to an
// existing interface mid-typing), invalid queries substring-filter and
// fall back to the full list when nothing matches.
export function buildComboboxEntries(
interfaces: readonly MobileNetworkInterface[],
query: string
): readonly ComboboxEntry[] {
const trimmed = query.trim()
if (trimmed === '') {
return interfaces.map((iface) => ({ kind: 'interface' as const, iface }))
}
const parsed = parseManualNetworkAddress(trimmed)
let visible: readonly MobileNetworkInterface[]
if (parsed.ok) {
// Valid address: keep every interface visible.
visible = interfaces
} else {
// Invalid: substring-filter; fall back to full list when nothing matches.
const lowered = trimmed.toLowerCase()
const filtered = interfaces.filter(
(iface) =>
iface.address.toLowerCase().includes(lowered) ||
iface.name.toLowerCase().includes(lowered)
)
visible = filtered.length > 0 ? filtered : interfaces
}
const entries: ComboboxEntry[] = visible.map((iface) => ({
kind: 'interface' as const,
iface
}))
if (parsed.ok && !visible.some((iface) => iface.address === parsed.address)) {
entries.push({ kind: 'use-query', address: parsed.address })
}
return entries
}
export function selectRefreshedNetworkAddress(
currentAddress: string | undefined,
interfaces: readonly MobileNetworkInterface[]
): string | undefined {
if (interfaces.length === 0) {
return undefined
}
if (currentAddress && interfaces.some((iface) => iface.address === currentAddress)) {
return currentAddress
}
return (
interfaces.find((iface) => isTailnetIPv4Address(iface.address))?.address ??
interfaces[0]!.address
)
}
```
The relative import paths (`../../../../shared/tailnet-address`, `../../../../shared/network/manual-address`) must match the file's location in the tree. If they don't resolve, adjust based on the existing path style in the same directory (e.g. `../foo` vs `@/foo`).
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the test file to verify everything passes**
```bash
pnpm vitest run src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts
```
Expected: all tests pass.
- [ ] **Step 6: Lint and typecheck**
```bash
pnpm lint src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.ts
pnpm typecheck
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/settings/mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(mobile-pairing): buildComboboxEntries for network interface combobox"
```

## Task 3: Rewrite `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection` UI to use Popover + Command
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx`
- Create: `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx`
- [ ] **Step 1: Read `AgentCombobox.tsx` end-to-end**
Read `src/renderer/src/components/agent/AgentCombobox.tsx` and `agent-combobox-command-state.ts` in full. You will be borrowing:
- The `Popover` + `Command` + `CommandInput` + `CommandList` + `CommandItem` JSX structure.
- The controlled `commandState`/`commandValue` pattern that mirrors `AgentCombobox`.
- The `setInputNode`/`focusSearchInput` pattern for keyboard accessibility.
Do not import agent-specific helpers (e.g. `searchAgentPickerEntries`, `agent-combobox-command-state` is shared but the search logic isn't needed here).
- [ ] **Step 2: Read the current `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx` in full**
Read the file. Note the props contract:
```ts
type MobileNetworkInterfaceSectionProps = {
networkInterfaces: MobileNetworkInterface[]
selectedAddress: string | undefined
onSelectedAddressChange: (address: string) => void
refreshingNetworkInterfaces: boolean
onRefreshNetworkInterfaces: () => void
loading: boolean
hasQrCode: boolean
onGenerateQr: () => void
}
```
The contract **must not change** — only the inner control does. `MobilePairingQrSection.tsx` consumes `selectedAddress` and is unaffected.
- [ ] **Step 3: Write the failing render tests**
Create `src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx`:
```tsx
import React from 'react'
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest'
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'
import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event'
import { MobileNetworkInterfaceSection } from './MobileNetworkInterfaceSection'
import type { MobileNetworkInterface } from './mobile-network-interface-selection'
const LAN: MobileNetworkInterface = { name: 'en0', address: '192.168.1.24' }
const TAILNET: MobileNetworkInterface = { name: 'tailscale0', address: '100.64.1.20' }
function renderSection(overrides: Partial<React.ComponentProps<typeof MobileNetworkInterfaceSection>> = {}) {
const onSelectedAddressChange = vi.fn()
const onRefreshNetworkInterfaces = vi.fn()
const onGenerateQr = vi.fn()
const props: React.ComponentProps<typeof MobileNetworkInterfaceSection> = {
networkInterfaces: [LAN, TAILNET],
selectedAddress: TAILNET.address,
onSelectedAddressChange,
refreshingNetworkInterfaces: false,
onRefreshNetworkInterfaces,
loading: false,
hasQrCode: false,
onGenerateQr,
...overrides
}
const user = userEvent.setup()
const utils = render(<MobileNetworkInterfaceSection {...props} />)
return { ...utils, user, onSelectedAddressChange, onRefreshNetworkInterfaces, onGenerateQr }
}
describe('MobileNetworkInterfaceSection', () => {
it('renders the trigger with the currently selected address', () => {
renderSection()
expect(screen.getByRole('combobox')).toHaveTextContent('100.64.1.20 (tailscale0)')
})
it('lets the user type a custom address and confirms via the Use row', async () => {
const { user, onSelectedAddressChange } = renderSection()
await user.click(screen.getByRole('combobox'))
const input = screen.getByPlaceholderText(/search or type/i)
await user.type(input, 'my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net')
await user.click(screen.getByRole('option', { name: /Use "my-mac\.tail-abcd\.ts\.net"/ }))
expect(onSelectedAddressChange).toHaveBeenCalledWith('my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net')
})
it('shows an inline error and no Use row when the query is invalid', async () => {
const { user } = renderSection()
await user.click(screen.getByRole('combobox'))
await user.type(screen.getByPlaceholderText(/search or type/i), 'not an address')
expect(screen.getByText(/Enter an IPv4 address or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname/i)).toBeInTheDocument()
expect(screen.queryByRole('option', { name: /Use / })).not.toBeInTheDocument()
})
it('suppresses the Use row when the typed address matches an existing interface', async () => {
const { user } = renderSection()
await user.click(screen.getByRole('combobox'))
await user.type(screen.getByPlaceholderText(/search or type/i), '192.168.1.24')
expect(screen.getByRole('option', { name: '192.168.1.24 (en0)' })).toBeInTheDocument()
expect(screen.queryByRole('option', { name: /Use "192\.168\.1\.24"/ })).not.toBeInTheDocument()
})
it('renders the (custom) label on the trigger after a custom selection', () => {
renderSection({ selectedAddress: 'my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net' })
expect(screen.getByRole('combobox')).toHaveTextContent('my-mac.tail-abcd.ts.net (custom)')
})
it('shows No interfaces found when the list is empty', () => {
renderSection({ networkInterfaces: [], selectedAddress: undefined })
expect(screen.getByRole('combobox')).toHaveTextContent(/no interfaces found/i)
})
})
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test file to verify it fails**
```bash
pnpm vitest run src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx
```
Expected: failures on every assertion — the component still uses `Select`. This is the failing-test step.
- [ ] **Step 5: Rewrite the component**
Replace the entire body of `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx` with:

Notes for the implementer:
- `Command shouldFilter={false}` because we already filter in `buildComboboxEntries`. Without this, cmdk's default fuzzy filter would re-filter the manually-injected `__use__` row out of view.
- The `value` prop on each `CommandItem` keeps cmdk happy but does not affect our filtering; we own filtering.
- `useMemo` is used for `selectedIface`, `entries`, and `queryParse` so re-renders triggered by parent prop changes don't churn the combobox state.
- If `isCustomLabel` is unused after a lint pass (no caller in the final file), delete the helper — the spec lists it but the implementation inlines the check.
- [ ] **Step 6: Run the new test file**
```bash
pnpm vitest run src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx
```
Expected: all six tests pass.
If any fail:
- `toHaveTextContent` mismatches → check the trigger label format.
- `getByRole('option', { name: /Use "…"/ })` not found → verify `Command shouldFilter={false}` is set.
- Inline error not appearing → verify `showInlineError` is computed against `queryParse.ok`.
- [ ] **Step 7: Run the full test suite for the settings folder**
```bash
pnpm vitest run src/renderer/src/components/settings/
```
Expected: all green. Confirm nothing else broke (e.g. `MobilePairingQrSection.test.tsx` if it exists).
- [ ] **Step 8: Lint, typecheck, build**
```bash
pnpm lint
pnpm typecheck
pnpm build
```
Expected: all green. If `pnpm lint` complains about an unused import (e.g. `isCustomLabel` or `CommandSeparator`), remove it and re-run.
- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
```bash
git add src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.tsx \
src/renderer/src/components/settings/MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx
git commit -m "feat(mobile-pairing): combobox with manual address entry"
```
---
## Task 4: End-to-end verification & PR prep
**Files:** none modified; verification only.
- [ ] **Step 1: Run the four CI checks locally**
```bash
pnpm lint
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test
pnpm build
```
Expected: all green. This is exactly what `.github/workflows/` runs.
- [ ] **Step 2: Manual smoke check**
If Orca can be launched locally with the desktop build:
1. Open Settings → Mobile.
2. Click the Network Interface dropdown — confirm both interfaces list.
3. Type a tailnet address — confirm the `Use "…"` row appears.
4. Click `Use "…"` — confirm the trigger switches to `… (custom)`.
5. Click Refresh — confirm the custom selection survives.
6. Type an invalid string — confirm the inline error appears and no `Use …` row is shown.
7. Type an address that already matches an interface (e.g. `192.168.1.24`) — confirm the `Use` row is hidden and selecting the interface row does NOT show `(custom)`.
Skip any step that requires a running desktop build and note it in the PR description.
- [ ] **Step 3: Capture before/after screenshots**
Save screenshots to a temp directory (NOT to the repo — `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `AGENTS.md` forbid committing PR evidence images). Use gstack browse if running the production binary:
```bash
$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse screenshot /tmp/orca-mobile-section-before.png --selector ...
```
Attach the screenshots to the PR conversation (never use `gh-attach`).
- [ ] **Step 4: Push the branch and draft the PR**
```bash
git push origin HEAD
gh pr create \
--title "feat(mobile-pairing): combobox with manual network address entry" \
--body-file /tmp/pr-body.md
```
The PR body should follow `pull_request_template.md`:
- **Summary:** explain that the desktop Network Interface dropdown now accepts a manually-typed IPv4 or Tailscale MagicDNS hostname.
- **Screenshots:** link to the conversation-attached screenshots.
- **Testing:** check all four `pnpm` boxes; note that `pnpm test` includes the three new test files (`manual-address.test.ts`, `mobile-network-interface-selection.test.ts`, `MobileNetworkInterfaceSection.test.tsx`).
- **AI Review Report:** confirm the review checked cross-platform (no platform-specific code; uses shadcn primitives + cmdk patterns already in the codebase), SSH/remote/local compatibility (no change to main-process IPC), agent/integration compatibility (no change), performance (UI re-render cost is bounded by `useMemo` over the interface list), UI quality (follows STYLEGUIDE.md; uses `text-statusRed` for the error), security (no new IPC; the address flows through the existing `selectedAddress` prop which `MobilePairingQrSection` already validated).
- **Security Audit:** no new IPC, no new auth surface, no new dependency, no new env var. The parser rejects malformed input early so the QR endpoint never sees invalid data.
- **Notes:** none — single platform-agnostic renderer change.
- **X handle:** include the contributor's X handle per CONTRIBUTING.md so maintainers can shout out.
- [ ] **Step 5: Request review**
```bash
gh pr edit --add-reviewer <maintainer-handle>
```
Or comment `@<maintainer>` in the PR if reviewer auto-assignment isn't available.
---
## Definition of done
- All four `pnpm` checks pass locally.
- All new and existing tests pass.
- The component renders correctly in a smoke test (or smoke-test steps are documented as skipped in the PR).
- The PR is open with a body matching `pull_request_template.md`.
- The contributor's X handle is in the PR description.

# SSH Repo Host Reconciliation Design
Date: 2026-07-10
## Problem
The proven flow is **Settings -> SSH -> remove host -> re-add the same host**. Main matches the
removal tombstone and `Store.reassignSshTargetId` moves the persisted repo from the old target ID to
the new target ID without changing `Repo.id`. A renderer catalog merge can then retain the cached
old-target row alongside the fetched new-target row because repo rows are keyed by execution host
and repo ID.
The stale row can route a terminal or destructive action to a removed SSH target. PR #7997 made
worktree deletion host-scoped and fail closed; this follow-up removes the superseded renderer row
without weakening that boundary.
## Why UUID Inference Is Unsafe
The same `Repo.id` can legitimately exist on multiple hosts. For example, a local checkout and a
checkout on an SSH server can share the repository UUID. Removing the SSH host without re-adding it
must keep the SSH ghost visible so the user can forget it. A local or runtime row with the same UUID
does not prove that the SSH row moved.
Main already has exact migration evidence. `readoptOrphanedWorkspacesForTarget` selects a removed
target tombstone, and `Store.reassignSshTargetId` knows which repo IDs it moved from that old target
to the new target. The renderer must consume this evidence instead of inferring migration from live
siblings or SSH target metadata.
## Ordering Gap
Main sends `repos:changed` before `ssh:addTarget` or `ssh:importConfig` returns. Either order is
possible in renderer state:
1. The catalog transaction can merge old and new rows before the add response supplies migration
evidence.
2. The add response can supply evidence while renderer state still contains only the old row.
Evidence must therefore remain pending until the corresponding new direct-SSH row arrives. At that
point the renderer removes only the mapped `(repoId, oldTargetId)` row and its old host setup, and
moves cached worktree ownership onto the new host.
## Non-Goals
- Do not re-key repo or worktree UUIDs or introduce compound serialized IDs.
- Do not infer host migration from labels, paths, target-list absence, or same-UUID siblings.
- Do not remove PR #7997's execution-host context from destructive operations.
- Do not change git-provider behavior or add provider-specific assumptions.
## Design
1. `Store.reassignSshTargetId` returns the exact repo IDs it moved instead of only a count.
2. Main records a list of `{ oldTargetId, newTargetId, repoIds }` for each add/import operation.
3. The SSH IPC add and import results return the changed targets plus this migration evidence. Main
still sends `repos:changed` when at least one repo moved.
4. Both desktop SSH management surfaces record the evidence in the repo slice immediately after the
invoke resolves. The web preload returns an empty evidence list because target management is
desktop-only.
5. The repo slice merges duplicate evidence and keeps unresolved repo IDs pending. Every local,
targeted-runtime, and all-host catalog transaction reconciles against the latest pending set.
6. Reconciliation requires the exact new direct-SSH owner to exist before pruning the exact old
direct-SSH owner. Local rows, runtime-owned rows, unrelated SSH hosts, and same-UUID siblings are
not considered evidence.
7. When a repo row is pruned, its matching `ProjectHostSetup` is removed. The desktop catalog owns
local and direct-SSH setups; `runtime:<environmentId>` setups remain authoritative on the remote
Orca server.
8. Cached visible and detected worktree rows for the migrated repo are moved from the exact old SSH
host to the new host. If a new-host worktree row already arrived, it wins and the stale duplicate
is discarded.
9. A host-scoped worktree response is ignored if its captured repo/host owner no longer exists.
Repo catalog transactions also reapply pending worktree migration, covering responses that land
after evidence arrives but before the new repo row.
```text
main: remove target -> tombstone
main: re-add matching identity -> reassign old target ID to new target ID
main: return exact (old target, new target, moved repo IDs)
renderer: retain evidence until catalog includes the exact new SSH owner
renderer: remove only the exact old SSH row/setup and migrate cached worktree ownership
```
## Safety Constraints
- A local or runtime sibling with the same UUID never supersedes an SSH ghost.
- A mapping is not consumed until the exact new direct-SSH row exists.
- Runtime-owned SSH rows and `runtime:<environmentId>` setup rows remain untouched.
- Catalog transactions reconcile inside the Zustand updater so overlapping responses use the latest
repos and pending evidence.
- Missing, offline, or unhydrated target metadata is not deletion or migration evidence.
## Test Plan
- Persistence returns exact migrated repo IDs and leaves other hosts untouched.
- Tombstone re-adoption returns exact old/new/repo mappings for manual add and multi-host import.
- SSH IPC returns the evidence, sends `repos:changed`, and clears operation-local evidence.
- Pure renderer tests prove exact pruning, pending evidence, unrelated-host preservation, runtime
ownership preservation, and evidence deduplication.
- Store tests cover both event orders: catalog first and evidence first.
- Remove-without-re-add keeps a forgettable SSH row and setup when a local repo shares its UUID.
- Old direct-SSH setups are removed only for proven migrations; runtime setups remain.
- Old/new cached worktree duplicates collapse to the authoritative new-host row, and an old-only
worktree row migrates to the exact new host.
- A deferred old-host worktree response cannot restore old visible or detected ownership after the
new repo catalog consumes the migration evidence.
- Targeted runtime and all-host catalog transactions reconcile against the latest state.
Run focused tests, typecheck, lint, `pnpm check:max-lines-ratchet`, and the production build required
by the repository.
## Electron Validation
Use an isolated profile and a throwaway Linux SSH target:
1. Add a repo through the throwaway SSH target.
2. Remove the SSH target and re-add the same identity without restarting the renderer.
3. Confirm exactly one SSH project row remains and its worktree opens.
4. Confirm Explorer lists the remote files without an ambiguous-host routing error.
5. Repeat the cycle and confirm the stale row does not return.
6. Keep an adjacent local project visible and confirm it remains unchanged.
There is no new control or copy. The behavioral evidence is the stable row, successful workspace
routing, and deterministic store assertions.
## Performance And Scope
Renderer reconciliation indexes direct SSH repo owners once, then processes each migrated repo ID
once. Setup cleanup is linear in current repos and setups. The change adds no polling, listeners,
subprocesses, or persistent renderer state. IPC payload growth is bounded by the repo IDs actually
migrated during the user-triggered add/import operation.
Windows and POSIX paths do not participate in reconciliation. SSH identity matching remains the
existing strict alias or host/user/port logic, and git-provider identity is not used.

# Daemon lifecycle retirement for issue #9138
## Status
Implemented and locally validated for PR #9277.
The earlier full ownership/audit prototype is preserved at:
- branch: `Jinwoo-H/issue-9138-full-ownership-audit-snapshot`
- commit: `7c915909bd26670b8af36aa683cff85077395dd1`
- GitHub: <https://github.com/stablyai/orca/tree/Jinwoo-H/issue-9138-full-ownership-audit-snapshot>
That branch is the recovery point for ownership persistence, cross-profile raw extraction, startup
audit, the candidate journal, profile-transfer recovery, natural-exit reconciliation, and future
legacy enforcement. None of those systems ship in this PR.
Current `main` assigned protocol v23 to the macOS login-shell preparation change while this work was
in progress. The lifecycle contract therefore ships as v24; v23 is preserved as a legacy generation
alongside v22 and older versions.
## Inputs and scope decision
Issue: <https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9138>
Reviewed design comment by AmethystLiang:
<https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9138#issuecomment-5006601124>
The reviewed comment correctly identifies two different problems:
1. current-generation daemons have no daemon-owned empty lifecycle;
2. legacy sessions need complete cross-profile ownership evidence before an app-side reaper can act.
This PR solves only the first problem. The second problem is much larger, adds steady-state
persistence and startup-audit cost, and is audit-only until field evidence can justify enforcement.
Keeping it out makes the user-visible fix small enough to review and benchmark independently.
The narrow implementation retains these important rules from AmethystLiang's design:
- daemon lifecycle behavior requires a protocol bump because old running daemons cannot acquire it;
- live sessions always win over cleanup;
- absence from a worktree, pane layout, profile, or failed listing is never destructive evidence;
- exact PID, process-start time, and per-launch nonce identify a v24 endpoint incarnation;
- the daemon, not app startup, makes the atomic empty decision;
- pre-v24 daemons stay reattachable and are not automatically shut down;
- SSH, WSL, remote-runtime, degraded-provider, sleep/wake, and profile behavior stay unchanged.
The narrow implementation changes one policy from the original comment: it does not use a blanket
30-minute idle timer. Any loss of the last fully authenticated app client is an exact lifecycle
event, so a daemon retires as soon as it can atomically prove it is empty. This removes runtime
inactivity heuristics and periodic ownership work.
## User-visible behavior
```text
Before
app disconnects ──> daemon stays forever
├── live sessions stay (wanted)
└── zero sessions also stay (leak)
After
clean app detach ──> daemon atomically checks itself
├── any live session/work/client ──> stay alive
└── exactly empty ──> exit immediately
unexpected drop ──> daemon atomically checks itself
├── live session/work/connection ──> stay alive
└── exactly empty ──> exit immediately
v23 and older ──> existing reattach behavior; no automatic retirement
```
An end user with live terminals should notice no change. An end user who quits with no daemon-backed
terminals should no longer accumulate the new v24 generation. If Orca crashes or loses its socket,
live terminals still keep the daemon alive indefinitely. An empty daemon exits immediately; a later
app restart launches a fresh daemon instead of reusing an empty process.
## Protocol and lifecycle design
### Endpoint identity
Protocol v24 hello responses include:
```ts
type DaemonEndpointIdentity = {
pid: number
startedAtMs: number
launchNonce: string
}
```
The parent generates the launch nonce, passes the nonce and PID-record path to the daemon, and writes
the daemon's self-reported start time plus the same nonce to the PID record. Both authenticated client
sockets must report the same valid identity. v24 rejects a missing or malformed identity; v23 keeps
the previous identity-free handshake.
PID publication is fail-closed. Missing readiness identity, invalid PID, an existing PID record, or a
write failure terminates the new child and fails launch instead of leaving an untracked daemon.
### Clean detach
At the end of `DaemonPtyAdapter.disconnectOnly()`, after final checkpoints and producer resumes, a
v24 adapter establishes a full connection if necessary and sends `shutdownIfIdle` within one shared
250 ms budget. v23 and older adapters skip it.
Initialization establishes one authenticated v24 lifecycle lease even before the first terminal is
opened. This cancels the initial launch-adoption watchdog and ensures a never-used daemon can still
receive clean retirement on quit. If startup fallback has already won, the late daemon is not
installed; it instead receives the same bounded retirement attempt, which an adopted live session
will reject.
The daemon accepts retirement only when, in one event-loop turn:
- the requesting authenticated client has both control and stream sockets;
- it is the only authenticated client;
- every accepted transport belongs to that client;
- no `createOrAttach` operation is in flight;
- the terminal host has zero sessions.
When all conditions hold, the daemon synchronously closes the listening server before replying. That
is the admission fence: a new socket or terminal cannot appear after the empty proof. Cleanup then
runs asynchronously and the process exits. A failed RPC is non-fatal to app quit and falls back to
the same event-driven empty check when the authenticated sockets close.
### Initial adoption watchdog
A freshly launched v24 daemon gets up to two minutes to receive its first complete authenticated
client pair. Without this startup-only watchdog, the daemon would prove itself empty and exit in the
normal launch handoff before the parent could connect; without a bound, a parent crash during that
handoff would orphan the new daemon forever.
A complete pair permanently cancels this watchdog, and terminal admission requires that complete
pair. Raw and partial transports pause it without extending its original deadline. It is never
rearmed after adoption and is not a terminal inactivity or crash-reconnect timer.
### Unexpected disconnect
When the last client that completed both authenticated sockets loses its control connection, the
daemon records an event-driven retirement request with no wall-clock grace.
- A complete authenticated reconnect cancels the request if existing work or a transport kept the
daemon alive long enough to reconnect.
- Only a complete authenticated pair may admit a terminal; completing that pair cancels the request
before admission can begin.
- A raw socket, one-socket health probe, or partial authenticated connection blocks retirement but
cannot erase evidence that the last fully connected app left.
- Replacing a client ID first records the old full connection's loss; completing the replacement
stream cancels that evidence, while an incomplete replacement only blocks retirement.
- A live session prevents shutdown indefinitely. When the last session exits, the daemon immediately
rechecks every guard and retires only if it is then exactly empty.
The adapter remembers an authenticated unexpected disconnect. If self-retirement later removes the
token, a token-file `ENOENT` is respawnable only with that prior evidence. An initial missing token is
not broadened into destructive or respawn authority.
### Artifact cleanup
The daemon removes only artifacts it can claim as its own:
- token contents must match the daemon's in-memory token;
- PID and launch nonce must match the daemon process and launch nonce;
- cleanup first renames the canonical entry to a unique claim, validates that claim, and never
overwrites or unlinks a replacement installed at the canonical path.
Current-protocol external cleanup waits for v24 self-shutdown and does not unconditionally remove v24
PID/socket artifacts. Legacy cleanup behavior is unchanged.
## Performance design
There is no polling, profile enumeration, ownership checksum, candidate journal, process scan, or
steady-state persistence write in this PR.
The steady-state terminal hot path adds no timer work and no per-byte hashing. Initialization adds one
two-socket authenticated lifecycle handshake; the only new RPC is on app/provider detach, and its
connect-plus-request path shares a 250 ms cap, including when quit joins an existing connection
attempt; teardown fences that attempt from resurrecting sockets afterward. Unexpected-disconnect
bookkeeping changes only socket and session lifecycle events. Each unadopted daemon owns at most one
unref'ed startup watchdog, which is canceled permanently on adoption.
Validation compares current main and the branch for:
- daemon connect plus two-socket hello latency;
- repeated `listSessions` RPC latency;
- terminal echo/stream throughput through a real socket daemon;
- clean empty-detach latency;
- event-loop delay under repeated RPC/stream work;
- idle CPU/RSS and timer count where observable.
The acceptance target is no statistically meaningful terminal throughput regression and no new
steady-state disk writes. Results are recorded in the PR body.
### Local performance regression screen
The final local host was not quiet enough for publication-grade absolute numbers: load averages were
17-38 and unrelated Orca, browser, simulator, and VM processes occupied several cores. A paired
same-host screen still found no large regression. Five `main` v23 samples were bracketed by ten v24
branch samples; medians across sample medians were:
| Measure | `main` v23 | branch v24 |
| -------------------- | ---------: | ---------: |
| two-socket connect | 1.38 ms | 1.32 ms |
| `listSessions` RPC | 0.0366 ms | 0.0374 ms |
| terminal echo stream | 3.28 MiB/s | 3.14 MiB/s |
All three medians were within about 5%. Individual stream samples varied from 0.66 to 4.04 MiB/s and
event-loop-delay samples had similar load-driven outliers, so these results are a coarse regression
screen, not evidence of an exact performance delta. Static hot-path review confirms lifecycle work
runs on connection, disconnection, session admission/exit, and quit events, with no new work per PTY
byte and no steady-state persistence or polling.
## Verification and validation
### Focused unit and integration tests
- v24 requires valid matching endpoint identity on both sockets.
- v23 and v22 accept the prior identity-free handshake and remain listed as previous protocols.
- production launch passes PID path and nonce and writes the exact readiness identity.
- incomplete readiness identity or failed exclusive PID publication kills and rejects the child.
- clean empty detach exits immediately.
- a never-used current adapter connects and retires cleanly on quit.
- initial adoption cancels the launch watchdog and keeps first-terminal spawn working after its old
deadline.
- a live session, another client, raw transport, or in-flight admission rejects clean retirement.
- a control-only overlapping client blocks but cannot erase the last full-client retirement request.
- a same-client-ID control replacement cannot erase the prior full connection's retirement request.
- a control-only client cannot admit a terminal or erase startup/retirement evidence with a failed
request.
- startup fail-open performs bounded empty retirement without installing a late provider.
- quit remains bounded while a prior handshake is stalled and cannot resurrect client sockets later.
- the synchronous listener fence rejects post-fence connections as retryable.
- an unexpected empty disconnect retires immediately without a runtime inactivity timer.
- a real reconnect cancels pending retirement while live work keeps the daemon available.
- raw and health probes block but cannot erase pending retirement.
- final session exit triggers an immediate guarded retirement check.
- token/PID cleanup preserves malformed, stale, and replacement artifacts.
- authenticated token disappearance performs one coalesced respawn; initial token absence does not.
### Process/E2E tests
- start a real isolated v24 daemon with real socket/named-pipe, token, and PID artifacts;
- authenticate, disconnect the last empty client, and verify the exact process and owned artifacts
exit;
- prove a live session rejects retirement and remains reattachable;
- run a protocol-v22 fixture beside v24 and prove v22 remains connectable/reattachable;
- never target a production runtime directory or signal a process not created by the fixture.
### Repository validation
- Node typecheck;
- oxlint and repository max-lines policy;
- focused daemon, adapter, launcher, restart, and legacy-routing suites;
- full daemon test suite;
- desktop and web production builds;
- `git diff --check` and review of every changed file against `origin/main`;
- independent review-until-clean, with review loops recorded in `.orca/bug-factory.json`;
- packaged Windows/Linux validation where CI is available; local macOS process E2E before publication.
Final local results on macOS arm64 after the event-driven policy revision:
- full daemon suite: 56 files passed, 2 skipped; 939 tests passed, 5 skipped;
- process E2E: v22 remained live and reattachable while the exact empty v24 process and its owned
artifacts retired immediately after its final authenticated client disconnected;
- full Node typecheck, focused oxlint, max-lines ratchet, and `git diff --check` passed;
- full desktop, web, and native production build passed with existing build warnings;
- three independent post-revision review tracks covering architecture/state machines,
ownership/adoption, and process lifecycle ended clean after actionable findings were fixed.
The local shell used Node 26.5.0 while the repository requests Node 24; the commands completed
successfully, and repository CI remains responsible for the supported Node/platform matrix.
## Rollout and rollback
This PR changes only v24. Existing v23 and older daemons are preserved. Rolling back the app leaves
v24 as another legacy generation and does not give an older app authority to shut it down.
If the lifecycle behavior must be disabled, revert the v24 protocol/lifecycle commit. The separated
ownership/audit prototype remains recoverable from the archived branch and commit above; it should
return only as a separately reviewed, benchmarked follow-up.

# Windows ConPTY Startup Query and Focus Authority Design
Date: 2026-07-19
Status: Implemented with the 2026-07-20 ownership amendment below
## 2026-07-20 Ownership Amendment
Fresh paired-runtime evidence showed that the display/controller platform is not a safe proxy for
the PTY backend. A macOS client can attach to a native ConPTY owned by a paired Windows runtime, so
renderer-side local/SSH/remote heuristics can transfer OSC 10/11 authority to the wrong responder.
The PTY-owning process now classifies the backend from its own platform and the shell that actually
won spawn: `windows-conpty`, `windows-wsl`, or `posix-pty`. Native ConPTY consumes complete OSC 10/11
queries before model, replay, or view delivery. During the bounded startup window it replies once
when validated theme colors are available; after the deadline, or without colors, it consumes the
query without replying. A consuming-view handshake does not transfer this authority. Split query
candidates remain bounded and private across authority-close, expiry, and snapshot barriers; a
candidate that proves malformed is released unchanged.
WSL and POSIX PTYs continue to transfer authority to the normal visible/hidden responder after the
startup window. The same owner-side rule applies to local, daemon, SSH-relay, and paired-runtime
PTYs. This amendment supersedes contrary transfer/fallback language below; the echo projection is
selected only by the authoritative owner backend, never by renderer or connection metadata.
## Problem
On native Windows ConPTY sessions, a new agent can sometimes show terminal protocol bytes as user
text:
```text
]10;rgb:2e2e/3434/3434\]11;rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff\
```
An independent symptom can prefix user input with `[I`, the printable tail of the standard terminal
focus-in report `CSI I`.
The OSC text is an Orca-generated reply to the agent's OSC 10/11 foreground/background query. The
agent can issue that query before a daemon-backed `spawn()` resolves to the renderer, and waits only
about 100 ms for the answer. Orca therefore has a short-lived main-side startup responder in
addition to the normal renderer/model query authorities. On affected ConPTY timing, the reply sent
to the PTY is returned as cooked output with its ESC bytes removed. The current ingestion order
records that cooked echo in the authoritative runtime model before any renderer-bound filtering.
The focus symptom must not be treated as the same bug without evidence. ConPTY deliberately emits
DECSET 1004 (focus reporting) and DECSET 9001 (Win32 input mode) at startup. A direct native
PowerShell ConPTY capture consistently produced the bootstrap pair, while an injected `CSI I` was
consumed as a focus event and did not render as `[I`. The bootstrap is valid transport protocol;
the failure requires an additional agent, timing, input-mode, or replay condition.
## Root Cause
OSC responders downstream of the PTY owner do not know whether the bytes came from native ConPTY,
WSL, or a POSIX PTY. `LocalPtyProvider` calls the runtime before its public data listeners
([`local-pty-provider.ts`](../../../src/main/providers/local-pty-provider.ts)), while daemon `Session`
advances sequence state, writes its emulator, persists pending output, and fans out data before
Electron main receives it ([`session.ts`](../../../src/main/daemon/session.ts)). A renderer-only
filter can therefore misclassify paired runtimes and hide the symptom without removing it from the
authoritative model, daemon history, snapshots, or remote delivery.
The corrupted echo is timing-dependent but its ordering failure is deterministic: any sanitizer
downstream of an authoritative consumer is too late. The independent `[I` symptom has not yet met
that evidentiary bar, so this design fixes the proven OSC path and adds the real focus-path harness
without pre-approving a speculative focus workaround.
## Data Flow
```text
node-pty / remote relay PTY
-> shell-ready marker scan
-> source-owned serialized ingress transaction
-> consume an early OSC query and write one canonical reply
-> match or losslessly release the measured native-Windows echo projection
-> authoritative emulator + persistence/history
-> runtime side effects and mobile/remote stream
-> renderer delivery or hidden-drop decision
-> live terminal / snapshot restore
```
Raw sequence spans travel beside cleaned strings through every downstream hop. Empty transformed
spans advance sequence and flow-control state without writing bytes into an emulator or view.
## Rejected Prototype
The current working-tree prototype is not the implementation of this design:
- It removes ConPTY's leading `?1004h` in the renderer. This changes valid native-console focus
semantics for every Windows PTY, including programs unrelated to agents.
- It filters OSC echo text only after runtime/model ingestion. The live pane can look clean while a
hidden restore, reconnect, mobile view, or CLI snapshot still contains the garbage.
- Its echo state activates only after both color slots are answered. An echo of the first response
can escape if it arrives before the second query.
- Its partial-match buffer can be lost on timeout, and its substring search can remove a later
legitimate string that happens to equal a reply.
Implementation starts by removing the prototype's bootstrap output filter and renderer-only cooked
echo filtering. Existing unrelated Windows focus-idle safeguards remain.
## Existing Contracts Preserved
This design extends, rather than replaces:
- [`terminal-model-view-contract.md`](../terminal-model-view-contract.md), especially singular query
authority, authoritative model restore, and raw sequence ordering;
- [`terminal-query-authority.md`](../terminal-query-authority.md), especially delivered-versus-
hidden-dropped ownership and replay silence;
- [`terminal-side-effect-authority.md`](../terminal-side-effect-authority.md), especially parsing PTY
bytes once in main before renderer delivery.
The startup responder is a bounded exception needed before normal delivered/dropped ownership can be
established. It must join the same ingestion decision, not operate as an unrelated renderer scrub.
## Decision 1: Source-Owned PTY Ingress Transaction
Sanitization must run on the host that owns the PTY, before that host mutates any authoritative
model or persistence. Electron main is too late for daemon sessions: `Session` has already advanced
its sequence, written its emulator, recorded pending output, and broadcast the data before main's
provider callback runs.
The transaction therefore has three installations of the same shared state machine:
- in `LocalPtyProvider`, before its configured runtime callback and data listeners;
- in daemon `Session`, before `outputSequence`, emulator writes, pending/checkpoint records, and
attached-client fanout;
- in relay `PtyHandler`, before relay replay/history buffering and `pty.data` fanout. Main's
`SshPtyProvider` is only an RPC proxy and never sanitizes relay output.
Electron main receives already-classified daemon data. A remote-runtime desktop client does not
reinterpret the stream; the remote Orca host owns its transaction. WSL sessions follow their actual
provider owner but never enable the native-Windows compatibility projection.
Fresh-session creation carries startup-transaction intent atomically. Daemon `createOrAttach`
receives the recognized-agent intent, execution-host kind, deadline, and validated renderer-pushed
color attributes. It first decides fresh versus reattach; only a fresh result constructs the
transaction before releasing the subprocess's already-buffered early output. A reattach discards
the intent without arming state. Cancellation, spawn failure, and teardown clear intent before any
PTY id can be reused.
Local creation installs the transaction before subscribing to node-pty output. Relay `pty.spawn`
carries the same fresh-session intent and installs it before releasing relay PTY output; relay
`pty.attach` never accepts it. If any owner cannot establish this ordering, the early responder is
not armed and normal query authority handles the query.
Increment `DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION` for the new create/wire shape and add a named numeric-threshold
predicate in the daemon adapter/router. Current exact-version hello behavior remains; supported
legacy versions route through their existing adapters and fail the predicate. The SSH relay gets a
separate versioned spawn/data capability because daemon protocol support says nothing about relay
support.
An old daemon or relay keeps the legacy behavior and is never treated as having sanitized snapshots
or history. Main must not apply a second best-effort scrub to legacy output. New sessions receive
the invariant only after the owning daemon/relay is upgraded or restarted; an already-attached
legacy session remains explicitly outside it.
### Composition with shell-ready preprocessing
The ingress sequence domain begins after the existing shell-ready scanner. That scanner may hold
transport bytes and removes its private ready marker; marker bytes have never belonged to terminal
model or delivery sequence space and continue not to count. Its released non-marker bytes enter the
new ingress transaction in original order.
Snapshot and teardown barriers drain in pipeline order: the shell-ready scanner first releases its
non-marker buffer, then the ingress transaction resolves or abandons its candidate, then the model,
persistence, and views observe the resulting emissions. No later stage may introduce an unmetered
string transform.
### Raw sequence and emission contract
The state machine accepts source chunks with an explicit raw half-open range and returns zero or
more ordered emissions:
```ts
type PtyIngressSourceChunk = {
data: string
rawStartSeq: number
rawEndSeq: number
}
type PtyIngressEmission = {
data: string
rawStartSeq: number
rawEndSeq: number
transformed: boolean
}
```
The raw range is the post-shell-ready ingress sequence domain and remains contiguous even when
`data` is shorter after sanitization. The ordered emissions partition accepted source ranges without
overlap. Producer flow-control acknowledgement follows those emitted raw spans and is counted once
from `rawEndSeq - rawStartSeq`, never from emitted string length. A held prefix delays its ACK; the
buffer is strictly bounded and the serialized queue cannot acknowledge later output ahead of it.
The ingress raw high-water advances when a source chunk is accepted. Model-applied and
view-delivered high-waters advance only through ordered emissions, including empty transformed
emissions that consume a raw range. Runtime/mobile listener metadata carries
`rawLength = rawEndSeq - rawStartSeq`, not `data.length`. A restore that overlaps a transformed span
cannot slice cleaned text by raw offset and must request a fresh authoritative snapshot, matching
the existing `rawLength !== data.length` safety rule.
This metadata is end-to-end, not local to the state machine. Implementation changes the complete
path:
1. daemon `Session` or relay `PtyHandler` emission callback;
2. daemon/relay batching, coalescing, splitting, and wire notification;
3. daemon adapter or `SshPtyProvider` decode;
4. `OrcaRuntimeService` model and runtime/mobile listeners;
5. main renderer batching, pending/drop accounting, and preload payload;
6. renderer reconciliation and remote-runtime binary/live frame decoding.
The wire representation carries `data`, `seq = rawEndSeq`, `rawLength`, and `transformed`. A
span-only emission has empty `data` but non-zero `rawLength`; no layer may drop it before advancing
its high-water and producer ACK. It is not written to an emulator or xterm. Coalescing is permitted
only for contiguous spans and sums raw lengths independently of string lengths. A transformed
emission is indivisible because there is no byte-for-byte raw-to-clean offset; splitters must flush
it as its own frame or request snapshot reconciliation instead of slicing it.
If a snapshot is requested while a partial candidate is held, the transaction first abandons that
candidate and releases its bytes unchanged as an ordered emission. The authoritative emulator and
snapshot sequence therefore describe the same raw high-water.
### Serialization and teardown
Each PTY has a non-reentrant serialized ingress queue. A provider write may synchronously produce a
nested callback, but that callback is appended after the current source chunk rather than delivered
ahead of its remaining bytes. Timeout releases and snapshot barriers enter the same queue.
On exit, the queue releases all buffered bytes, applies those emissions to the authoritative model
and persistence, and fans them out before `onPtyExit`, `pty:exit`, or PTY state cleanup. Relay
disposal must flush both ingress prefixes and its existing pending output batches before clearing
them or killing PTYs, matching the natural-exit flush-before-`pty.exit` order. No drain may recreate
state after teardown. Ordinary chunks pass through as one unchanged emission.
## Decision 2: Startup OSC Queries Are Consumed Authoritatively
The early OSC 10/11 responder remains because removing it would regress daemon-hosted agent startup
and the agent's short color-query timeout. Its implementation moves into the source-owned ingress
transaction.
When registered for an agent spawn, it:
1. recognizes exact OSC 10/11 query grammar across provider chunks;
2. builds replies from validated renderer-pushed foreground/background attributes;
3. emits the canonical ST-terminated, 16-bit-channel reply used by renderer/model query authority,
regardless of whether the query ended with BEL or ST;
4. records each reply transaction before writing it to the provider;
5. consumes the answered query from the authoritative model and view emissions so neither the
hidden model nor a delivered renderer can answer it a second time;
6. begins echo recognition as soon as each individual reply is written.
If attributes or a provider are unavailable, native ConPTY consumes the query without replying;
WSL and POSIX PTYs pass it through unchanged to normal query authority. A reattach never registers
startup response state, matching current behavior, but native ConPTY ownership still prevents a
downstream reply.
### Exact authority transfer
Startup query response authority opens only for a fresh session whose atomic creation installed the
transaction before buffered output release. For WSL and POSIX PTYs it closes at the first of:
- both OSC 10 and OSC 11 slots have been answered;
- the startup deadline expires;
- main sends an ordered authority-close control after either the consuming-view handshake or the
hidden-runtime ownership mark is established;
- the spawn fails, is cancelled, reattaches, or exits.
Native ConPTY does not transfer OSC 10/11 authority at those boundaries: the deadline stops source
replies, while complete queries remain consumed for the life of the PTY. Closing response authority
does not discard already-written reply candidates. Echo recognition has
its own bounded lifetime and may finish or drain after normal authority takes over. A close and a
provider callback are ordered by the source owner's per-PTY ingress queue. Transport attachment to
a daemon/relay client is not a consuming-view signal. Main sends the close over a versioned control
method, and the source owner acknowledges the applied ingress sequence. Queries before that ordered
boundary are either consumed at source or removed from emissions; queries after it pass unchanged
to the normal delivered/hidden decision. Each query therefore belongs to exactly one authority.
The regular authority rules continue after the bounded startup window:
- delivered live bytes are answered by the live view;
- hidden-dropped live bytes are answered by the runtime model;
- replayed, seeded, and snapshot bytes are answered by nobody;
- the daemon's persistence emulator never writes replies.
Implementation must amend `terminal-model-view-contract.md` and `terminal-query-authority.md` to
name this source-owner startup authority, its opening/closing events, and its no-replay rule. It is a
real third responder class, not an undocumented exception.
## Decision 3: Matched Echo Suppression Is Lossless and Pre-Model
Only native Windows ConPTY agent spawns that pass the deterministic provider harness enable a
compatibility projection for replies written by the startup transaction. WSL and POSIX SSH PTYs do
not. A remote-runtime PTY can enable it only on its owning Windows host under the same evidence and
capability gate.
The harness records the exact projection ConPTY returns for the canonical ST reply, including its
chunking and any console transformation. The implementation must not assume that the projection is
always merely "remove ESC", and BEL or other reply forms are not added without separate evidence.
For every written reply, the transaction records that exact expected projection. Recognition is:
- FIFO in reply-write order;
- anchored at the next possible output position, not an unbounded substring search;
- active immediately for each reply instead of waiting for both color slots;
- bounded by the startup deadline and maximum reply length;
- streaming across chunk boundaries.
If incoming bytes diverge from the expected projection, all buffered bytes are released unchanged
and that candidate is abandoned. If the deadline expires or the PTY is cleared while a prefix is
buffered, the prefix is released through the serialized ingestion queue; it is never discarded. A
match advances the raw span but emits no bytes to the model, persistence, or views.
Projection matching cannot prove provenance. An application can print the same projected text at
the candidate position, causing a false-positive removal while the later real echo remains visible.
This is the central drawback of the workaround. It is accepted only if the real provider harness
shows a stable, immediate projection inside the narrow registered-agent startup window; otherwise
Orca disables the projection and keeps the visible output rather than risking deletion.
When the projection is enabled, the exact-collision behavior is explicit: the first identical
anchored candidate is removed and a later real echo is allowed through. The test fixture must assert
that result. This accepts a narrowly bounded false-positive risk instead of pretending provenance
is knowable; the release gate must document the observed timing window and justify that tradeoff.
Unknown, delayed, or interleaved transformations pass through visibly.
## Decision 4: Preserve ConPTY Focus Protocol
Orca must deliver the ConPTY bootstrap `?1004h`/`?9001h` to live terminal emulators unchanged. It
must not remove, reorder, or fabricate transport bootstrap modes.
The `[I` investigation gets a deterministic harness before a behavior change. The harness must
exercise the actual renderer focus callback and provider write path, not only inject `CSI I`
directly into node-pty. It records:
- raw provider output and its order;
- whether the focus report came from live ConPTY bootstrap state, an application-owned DECSET 1004,
or replayed snapshot state;
- the exact bytes written to the provider;
- the exact bytes returned by the provider and stored in the model;
- agent lifecycle state when the report was emitted.
The implementation gate is strict:
- If stale snapshot modes cause the report, fix snapshot rehydration. Transport bootstrap focus mode
is not persisted as application ownership.
- If a live agent receives transport focus before it owns terminal focus reporting, record that
evidence without shipping a suppression heuristic from this document.
- If provider input/output transformation corrupts a correctly owned focus report, fix or sanitize
that transformation at the same pre-model ingress boundary used for OSC replies.
No global `?1004h` filter ships under any outcome.
If the harness proves a focus-ownership race, a follow-up design is required before implementation.
That design must define the output-to-input ownership signal, distinguish xterm focus events from
identical typed/pasted/programmatic bytes, specify startup transitions and deadlines, define any
snapshot/wire metadata, and cover the separate explicit reattach-focus write path. This document
does not pre-approve an ownership state machine whose input provenance cannot yet be represented.
## Snapshot and Replay Rules
Interactive modes in a snapshot are capabilities of the live application, not proof that a new
view should emit input immediately.
- Cold restore into a fresh shell keeps the existing full mode reset.
- Reattach to a live agent may rehydrate application-owned focus mode, but never transport-only
bootstrap ownership.
- Snapshot serialization/replay must not mutate live ownership trackers.
- A snapshot containing an OSC query or an old Orca reply never produces a provider write.
- Model and renderer snapshots must both be free of matched cooked reply projections.
Any future focus ownership metadata must be explicit; it cannot be inferred from serialized
`?1004h` text.
## Failure Policy
Safety is asymmetric:
- This design does not intentionally suppress a focus notification; evidence of a focus-ownership
race triggers a follow-up design instead.
- Passing through an unrecognized OSC echo is safer than deleting output that may belong to the
application.
- Missing a startup color reply falls back to the existing renderer/model authority. Duplicate
replies are forbidden.
- Losing buffered output on timeout or teardown is forbidden.
## Cross-Platform and Remote Scope
- Native Windows local and daemon ConPTY: startup response plus evidence-gated echo compatibility
path; focus investigation only until a proven root cause has its own complete design.
- WSL: normal Linux terminal semantics; no ConPTY echo or focus workaround.
- SSH: the same ingress/query ownership ordering, but no native Windows echo projection unless the
remote host protocol later supplies explicit equivalent evidence.
- Remote runtime: the remote Orca host owns ingestion and must implement the same contract there;
desktop local main does not reinterpret its stream.
- Mobile/web views: consume the sanitized authoritative model stream and retain exactly-one query
response authority through the existing terminal-driver election.
## Edge Cases
- A query or echo split at any byte boundary, including OSC ST split across chunks.
- The first reply echo arriving before the second color query.
- Unrelated output, an exact application-text collision, or a partial match before the real echo.
- Timeout, snapshot, detach, process exit, daemon shutdown, or relay disposal while bytes are held.
- A provider write causing a synchronous nested output callback.
- Fresh spawn versus reattach, cancellation, PTY-id reuse, and an authority-close control racing
with output.
- BEL-terminated queries still receiving the canonical ST reply.
- Empty transformed spans crossing coalescing, splitting, ACK, mobile, and remote-runtime layers.
- Old daemon/relay protocol versions and sessions that survive an application upgrade.
- WSL or POSIX SSH running from a Windows desktop without inheriting local ConPTY workarounds.
- Focus gained through normal terminal input versus the separate explicit reattach-focus write path.
## Test Plan
### Deterministic provider harness
- Capture the native ConPTY bootstrap across natural and forced chunk boundaries.
- Reproduce the OSC reply echo with the real provider and an agent query fixture.
- Exercise BEL and ST queries and assert the same canonical ST reply, plus separate OSC 10/11
queries and combined OSC 10 `?;?`.
- Force the first reply echo before the second query.
- Split every byte boundary in query and echo fixtures.
- Print the expected projection immediately before the real echo and assert that the first
identical candidate is removed while the later echo passes through.
- Exercise focus gain/loss through the actual xterm focus path.
### Ingress integration
- Assert local runtime ingestion and daemon emulator/pending/checkpoint persistence receive
classified data before storing it.
- Assert renderer and mobile delivery receive the same visible output.
- Assert raw start/end spans advance by original provider length, producer ACK contribution is
counted exactly once, and mobile/runtime metadata reports the raw span rather than string length.
- Assert a partial candidate is released unchanged on mismatch, timeout, snapshot barrier, move,
and teardown, including a prefix held from an earlier callback.
- Assert re-entrant provider callbacks remain ordered behind the source chunk that caused the
write.
- Assert restore overlap across a transformed or delayed span requests a fresh snapshot rather
than slicing cleaned text.
- Assert `LocalPtyProvider`, daemon `Session`, and relay `PtyHandler` install the source-side seam;
assert `SshPtyProvider` does not reinterpret relay data.
- Assert WSL, SSH, and remote-runtime streams do not enable the native-Windows projection.
- Assert a capable daemon sanitizes live output, snapshots, pending records, checkpoints, and cold
restore; assert capable relay replay/history has the same property. Assert old daemon and relay
versions are detected and never represented as sanitized.
### Authority and restore
- Assert an early-consumed query is answered once by its source owner and never by renderer or
hidden model.
- Assert normal delivered/dropped query authority resumes after startup state clears.
- Assert the main snapshot, renderer snapshot, hidden reveal, reconnect, and mobile subscription do
not contain cooked OSC text.
- Assert replay never sends OSC or focus replies.
- Assert ordinary native console focus behavior remains enabled.
- Assert the focus harness captures both terminal `onData` and explicit reattach-focus writes. Any
later ownership implementation defines its tests in the required follow-up design.
### End-to-end acceptance
On native Windows, repeatedly create, hide, reveal, and reconnect new and resumed agent sessions.
Before typing, neither live output nor any restore path may contain `]10;rgb`/`]11;rgb`. Repeat the
focus/blur scenarios to classify `[I`; if it reproduces through an ownership race, this work stops
at the follow-up-design gate rather than claiming the symptom fixed. Application-owned focus
behavior must still move the TUI caret correctly after focus and reattach. Repeat with a plain
PowerShell terminal and a native focus-event consumer to prove no global regression.
Run renderer and main PTY suites, runtime snapshot/query suites, node/web typechecks, lint,
formatting, max-lines ratchet, reliability gates, and Electron validation. SSH ingestion changes also
require the repository's SSH end-to-end procedure.
## UI Quality Bar
This is not a layout, styling, or copy change. Existing terminal rendering and focus behavior must
look unchanged except that matched protocol garbage is absent. A passing terminal screenshot has a
clean prompt, no clipped or duplicated startup output, no restore flash, and the existing cursor and
focus presentation.
## Review Screenshots
1. A fresh native-Windows agent prompt after startup, with no OSC reply text.
2. The same session after hide/reveal restore, still clean and without duplicated output.
3. The session after focus, blur, and reconnect, showing the focus-harness outcome and prompt state.
4. A plain native PowerShell terminal after focus/blur, showing unchanged adjacent behavior.
## Rollout
1. **Correct seam and rollback.** Remove the prototype filters. Add the shared serialized ingress
state machine, explicit raw-span emissions, and separate ACK accounting after shell-ready
preprocessing. Install pass-through mode in `LocalPtyProvider`, daemon `Session`, and relay
`PtyHandler` before their models, persistence/replay, and fanout.
2. **Protocol and authority contract.** Bump the daemon protocol, add relay capability/version gates,
carry atomic fresh-spawn intent, define legacy fallback, and amend the canonical model/query
authority documents with exact transfer events.
3. **Startup transaction.** Move OSC startup recognition/reply into source ingress, retain canonical
ST replies, consume answered queries for model and views, and retain raw sequence accounting.
4. **Windows compatibility projection.** Gate the measured projection on provider evidence; add FIFO
anchored recognition, serialized re-entrant delivery, lossless drains, false-positive coverage,
and authoritative daemon/model/snapshot tests.
5. **Focus evidence.** Land the real focus-path harness. If it proves a focus-ownership race, stop
for the required follow-up design; a direct snapshot or provider-transformation bug may be fixed
only with a failing regression test that selects that branch.
6. **Electron and SSH gates.** Validate visible, hidden, restored, mobile-owned, native console, WSL,
and SSH scenarios before removing the old startup implementation.
Each slice must keep query authority singular. The compatibility projection does not ship without a
model-snapshot assertion, and no focus behavior change ships before the deterministic focus harness
fails on the old behavior and passes on the new behavior.
## Lightweight Eng Review
- Scope: limited to the proven OSC startup corruption plus deterministic focus evidence. Global
focus filtering and an unproven ownership state machine remain out of scope.
- Architecture/data flow: classification belongs at each PTY source owner after shell-ready
preprocessing and before every authoritative model, persistence, replay, or delivery consumer.
- Failure modes covered: partial/mismatched projections, false-positive collision, nested writes,
authority races, snapshot and teardown drains, protocol-version skew, reattach, and host
isolation.
- Test coverage required: byte-boundary unit tests for the shared transaction; local, daemon, relay,
runtime/mobile, restore, and legacy-protocol integration tests; real native-Windows provider and
renderer-focus harnesses; Electron and SSH end-to-end validation.
- Performance/blast radius: ordinary output is a pass-through emission. Buffering is bounded by one
startup reply candidate and its deadline. Protocol and sequence metadata touch every delivery
path, so existing high-throughput, ACK, hidden-drop, and reconnect tests are mandatory.
- UI quality bar: terminal layout and styling are unchanged; only matched startup garbage
disappears, without cursor/focus regressions or restore flashes.
- Required review screenshots: the four terminal states in `Review Screenshots`.
- Residual risks: the native projection may be too unstable to enable; exact projected application
output can collide; `[I` may require a separately reviewed focus-ownership design.
## Non-Goals
- Replacing xterm's general query parser.
- Filtering arbitrary escape-looking terminal output.
- Disabling ConPTY focus or Win32 input mode globally.
- Changing WSL, SSH, or remote-runtime terminal semantics to imitate local Windows.
- Solving unrelated MCP startup warnings reported beside the terminal garbage.
## Final Invariants
1. Provider bytes are classified once before model ingestion and view delivery.
2. A live query has exactly one responder; replay has none.
3. Source-owner persistence, runtime/model state, and every view agree on removal of a matched
startup-reply projection.
4. Raw provider sequence accounting survives sanitization.
5. Buffered unmatched output is always released; the sanitizer cannot silently lose user data.
6. ConPTY bootstrap modes reach live emulators unchanged.
7. No focus suppression ships from this design; a proven ownership race requires a follow-up design.
8. PTY teardown clears all startup-transaction buffers and focus-harness measurement state.

# Windows daemon-generation safety investigation (#9749)
Investigation and completion snapshot: 2026-07-21 16:59 PDT
(2026-07-21 23:59 UTC)
Branch baseline: `OrcaWin/issue-9749-windows-daemon-generation-safety` at
`937a2015e`, 40 commits after `v1.4.148-rc.1`. This document is the hard gate
before a reproduction harness or production change. GitHub access during the
investigation was read-only, and no installed Orca daemon, pipe, token, process,
or terminal session was contacted or changed.
## Findings
The reported incident is a composition of three lifecycle paths, not one:
1. **Survival and adoption:** normal app quit deliberately disconnects from
daemon clients without shutting down their PTYs. Protocol-specific named
pipes let multiple generations coexist, and legacy adapters intentionally
reconnect to them so live PTYs remain warm and reattachable across upgrades.
2. **Broad current-generation replacement:**
`cleanupDaemonForProtocol` sends the only production
`shutdown { killSessions: true }` request found in the repository. Its
production callers replace or explicitly restart the current generation;
legacy discovery does not call it. A failed `listSessions` is currently
converted to an empty list before this broad shutdown, which makes its
reported kill count untrustworthy but does not suppress the shutdown.
3. **Reconnect-triggered per-session destruction:** #8871 provides the strongest
causal evidence. A reconnecting renderer restores stale remote handles,
synthesizes `pty-exit`, drops that reason at `session.tabs.close`, and the
authoritative host interprets the close as user intent. Its PTY router then
forwards individual `kill` requests to whichever current or legacy adapter
claimed each reusable session ID during discovery.
`client-hello` is necessary to discover and route legacy sessions, but neither
the hello handler nor legacy discovery sends a kill or shutdown request. The
~3.3-second renderer-bootstrap-to-kill evidence in #8871, repeated renderer
spawn/burst correlations, and the untyped close path are substantially stronger
than #9749's inference that greeting an old pipe causes that daemon to kill its
table autonomously.
The immediate safety boundary is therefore destructive request authority and
provenance. Cross-profile, sleeping-session, and generation-retirement policy
remains the larger #9138/#9229 problem.
## Deterministic native-Windows reproduction
Reproduction snapshot: 2026-07-21 14:36 PDT (2026-07-21 21:36 UTC).
`tests/e2e/daemon-generation-reconnect-safety.spec.ts` now constructs an
isolated `orca-9749-dg-*` runtime under the Windows temporary directory. It
starts three real daemon-server processes on versioned v21/v22/v23 named
pipes, with a live canary and a stale-mirror canary in each generation. Each
canary records the PTY-root and descendant PID/start identity independently.
The fixture refuses cleanup outside its exact temporary root and terminates
only recorded fixture process incarnations; it never enumerates or connects to
installed Orca endpoints.
The Electron-as-Node reconnect client performs three production
`DaemonPtyAdapter`/`DaemonPtyRouter.discoverLegacySessions` bursts, reattaches
every original PID, pings every canary, and opens a simultaneous second client
to each generation. It then sends duplicate `session.tabs.close` RPCs carrying
`reason: 'pty-exit'` through the real schema, `OrcaRuntimeService`, and routed
daemon adapters while the reconnect-client process remains alive.
The current-main run failed at the intended external invariant:
- before the close, all three daemons, six PTY roots, and six descendants were
alive;
- each daemon accepted eight new control/stream hellos across the reconnect and
parallel-client cycles;
- v21, v22, and v23 each logged two `session-killed` requests for the same
stale-mirror session ID within 1–4 ms;
- all three stale-mirror PTY roots and descendants exited, while all three
unrelated live canaries, all daemon processes, and reconnect client PID 26876
remained alive;
- the final assertion requires those stale-mirror roots to remain alive, so it
is RED before the fix and will become GREEN only when lifecycle-originated
closes are adjudicated non-destructively at the host.
Focused command:
```text
pnpm exec playwright test tests/e2e/daemon-generation-reconnect-safety.spec.ts --config tests/playwright.config.ts --project electron-headless --workers=1
```
The captured per-generation timestamp/PID/hello/kill/liveness report is written
to the Playwright test output as `daemon-generation-reconnect-events.json`.

## Investigation matrix
Confidence is **proven** when the issue evidence and source/diff establish the
mechanism, **supported** when multiple observations fit a reachable source path,
and **suspected** where attribution is missing.

| [#9749](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9749) | Open; 2026-07-21; Windows 11; daemon-host 1.4.146→1.4.148; old v21/v22/v23 and current v24 observed | Three surviving daemons were greeted at `16:41:32.277Z`–`.286Z`; later bursts logged 55/30/65/60/60 v22 kills and 10/32 v23 kills, including repeated IDs, while 191,266 main-process spans showed no coincident app death. One v23 broad `shutdown reason:rpc killSessions:true` and repeated `shutdown-dispose-failed` were present. | **Supported composition, reporter causality not proven.** Versioned legacy adoption explains hellos; `cleanupDaemonForProtocol` explains broad shutdown; #8871's stale-mirror close echo best explains reconnect-time individual kills. `daemon-server.ts` logs `session-killed` before awaiting `host.kill`, so repeated records prove repeated requests, not repeated physical death. | No fix shipped for the destructive initiator. #9277 mitigates empty v24+ accumulation only. Skipping all legacy hello or killing legacy generations on sight would destroy the promised warm-reattach behavior and is unsafe scope creep. |
| [#9138](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9138) | Open; 2026-07-17; macOS 1.4.143/v22; observed v18/v20/v21/v22 | UI showed 8 sessions while about 46 Claude processes remained; removing stale trees removed about 370 processes and reduced swap from 25 GB to under 5 GB. | **Proven accumulation, ownership policy deliberately conservative.** Normal disconnect, versioned endpoints, incomplete cross-profile ownership, sleeping/cold restore, and legacy wildcard claims prevent safe blind retirement. Prototype commit `7c915909b` implements an audit/journal/incarnation design but is unmerged. | No complete fix shipped. #9277 safely handles only empty current-generation v24+ daemons. The broader ownership journal, grace period, all-profile evidence, and enforcement rollout belong here, not the immediate #9749 close-authority patch. |
| [#9211](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9211) | Closed duplicate 2026-07-17; v21/v22 | A v21 daemon remained four days beside v22, and each app launch greeted both. | **Proven intentional legacy discovery with missing retirement.** `createLegacyDaemonAdapters` plus `discoverLegacySessions`. | Consolidated into #9138; no separate shipped fix. Same accumulation input as #9749, but not its destructive initiator. |
| [#9229](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9229) | Open P1; 2026-07-17; Linux headless | Failed shutdown left a 15.55 GiB/81-process old runtime beside a 1.21 GiB/4-process replacement. | **Supported reconciliation design.** Requires provenance, one destructive authority, exact daemon/session PID+start incarnations, complete evidence, and fail-closed missing reads. | Unshipped. Supplies invariants for later reconciliation. Implementing its full profile migration and journal in #9749 would be unsafe scope expansion. |
| [#9195](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9195) | Open; 2026-07-17; Windows 1.4.144/v22; comments through #9277 release read | `orca-terminal-daemon.exe` remains after app exit; later comments observed v21/v22/v23 and invisible sessions. | **Proven intentional for non-empty daemons.** Normal quit calls `disconnectDaemon`, not `shutdownDaemon`; the child is detached/unref'd. Empty accumulation was an unhandled gap before #9277. | #9277 shipped in 1.4.147 for empty v24+ only. Treating every survivor as a bug would regress warm reattachment. |
| [PR #9277](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/9277) | Merged 2026-07-20 as `7adda25b0`; first stable `v1.4.147`; v23→v24 | Empty current-generation daemons accumulated after clean app disconnect or failed adoption. | **Proven by diff/tests.** Hello returns PID/start-time/launch-nonce identity; control/stream identity must match. `shutdownIfIdle` atomically checks one complete client, no unknown transport, no sessions, and no admission in flight. Shutdown fences admission before disposal. A two-minute watchdog covers only never-adopted startup. | Shipped in `v1.4.147-rc.4`, `v1.4.147`, `v1.4.148-rc.1`, and `v1.4.148`. It explicitly does not perform startup reaping, retire legacy daemons, infer ownership, or kill reattachable PTYs. Strong identity/capability foundation; partial mitigation only. |
| [#8871](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8871) | Open P0; 2026-07-15; first observed 1.4.141/v21; all corrections/comments read | First reconnect kill followed renderer bootstrap by 3.348 s. Three later fresh renderer processes correlated within about 1 s with bursts killing 4, 7, and 7 worktrees while app and daemon PIDs remained stable. | **Supported-to-proven request path.** Persisted remote handle → subscribe returns `no_connected_pty` → synthetic `pty-exit` → `closeTerminalTab(reason:'pty-exit')` → reason dropped from `session.tabs.close` → `closeMobileSessionTab` kills host PTY. Early pre-connect kills were correctly downgraded to unattributed. Close propagation intersects landed #8628 and later #8958. | Not fixed on main. This is the strongest immediate #9749 foundation. Trigger repair alone is insufficient; the authoritative host must adjudicate intent. |
| [PR #8872](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8872) | Open; 2026-07-15; head `bb69fac775`; rebased 2026-07-21 | Prevents mirror `pty-exit`/cleanup evidence from killing a host PTY while retaining real user close and dead-tab retirement. | **Actual diff/tests inspected.** Threads typed `user`/`pty-exit`/`cleanup`; host refuses non-user closes if any parent leaf has a connected PTY, republishes an unchanged snapshot with a guarded replay marker, and handles dead-leaf/live-sibling loops. Adds an optional daemon `kill intent:'auto'` guard, but intentionally sends no auto intent until protocol/capability negotiation exists. | Unshipped. The earlier Windows/WSL live matrix passed on an older head and was explicitly invalidated by the rebase, so native validation must be rerun. This is the best narrow safety foundation, but reasonless old clients remain destructive on a new host. |
| [PR #8888](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8888) | Open; 2026-07-15; head `b13235211`; reviews/follow-ups read | Ambiguous paired-runtime close RPCs could destroy host tabs with no requester attribution. | **Actual diff/tests inspected.** Default-denies intent-less paired-runtime `session.tabs.close`, `terminal.close`, and `terminal.closeTab`; validates user source/target, dedupes request IDs per device across reconnects, rate-limits, restricts create rollback to its connection, and traces device/connection/source/decision without bearer tokens. Adds local daemon-control client ID to `session-killed`. | Unshipped. Useful defense-in-depth and logging foundation. Its “old paired client gets successful no-op” behavior is safely conservative but needs explicit compatibility/product acceptance; taking the entire policy is broader than the smallest #9749 fix. |
| [#9414](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9414) | Open tracking issue; 2026-07-19 | Recognition-dependent terminal lifecycle actions can destroy or strand arbitrary processes. | **Proven design boundary.** Host owns adjudication; stale client transport state and agent-name recognition are not kill authority. Tracks #8872/#8888 and lifecycle-state work. | Unshipped tracker. Aligns with #9749 invariants; generic agent recognition work is separate scope. |
| [PR #8628](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8628) | Merged 2026-07-14 as `36cd8a334`; releases after that date | Tab close did not durably retire all associated terminal/session state. | **Actual merge diff inspected.** Centralized terminal retirement/ownership and ensured remote-owned closes reach the authoritative host. The remote call still carried no close reason, so lifecycle and user closes were indistinguishable. | Shipped and important context, not a regression to revert wholesale. #9749 must preserve its durable explicit-user close while adding authority. |
| [#8878](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8878) / [PR #9098](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/9098) | Issue and PR open; 2026-07-15/17; PR head `9f3abd778` | A reconnecting paired client resumes a provider session still live on the host, producing duplicate TUIs. | **Proven companion feedback loop.** Client-local resume runs before authoritative mirror arrival; a #8871 kill also leaves a resume record. PR gates resume for runtime-owned worktrees while preserving the record. | Unshipped. Relevant reconnect stress case, but provider-session resume dedupe is not needed to stop #9749 kills. |
| [#9352](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9352) / [#9585](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9585) | Open; 2026-07-18/20; remote macOS and Windows | Closed or killed remote tabs return as `ptyId:null` phantoms; host snapshots keep dead terminal surfaces, and repeated host restarts accumulate them. | **Proven stale mirror/snapshot state.** Host `touchMobileSessionSnapshotsForPty` republishes the same tab; viewer mirrors every terminal surface. Remote transport also leaks the explicit-kill error. | Unshipped. Explains repeated stale close inputs and must be in stress coverage, but pruning dead surfaces is a separate lifecycle fix requiring sleeping-session care. |
| [#9217](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9217) / [#8970](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8970) | #9217 closed duplicate 2026-07-19; #8970 open; v1.4.143 | Agent/sidebar rows remain after local close or SSH relay connection loss. | **Proven UI/status lifecycle gaps.** SSH teardown intentionally preserves PTY ownership for reattach but omitted status clearing; renderer lacks a sweep. | Separate non-destructive roster cleanup. Combining sidebar cleanup with #9749 would be scope creep. |
| [#8851](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8851) / [PR #8825](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8825) | Issue closed; PR merged 2026-07-15 as `c8986ca52`; 1.4.143 notes | Finished named Claude children remained as idle sidebar rows. | **Proven Claude roster mechanism, not PTY lifecycle.** Working-only roster and hydration cleanup. | Shipped, but #8970 proves top-level/session residuals. Unrelated to destructive daemon authority. |
| [#8275](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8275) / [#8276](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8276) | #8275 open `cannot_repro`; #8276 closed duplicate; 2026-07-11; v20→v22 attempts | Rapid worktree removal was followed by daemon death and unrelated split panes exiting `-1`; no shutdown record. | **Different mechanism.** Shared daemon process dies during PTY teardown; current v22 attempt did not reproduce. | Not the #9749 initiator: #9749 daemons stay alive and log explicit shutdown/kill requests. Keep daemon-death regression coverage, but do not merge root causes. |
| [PR #8140](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8140) | Merged 2026-07-10 as `03a673708`/PR head `1710325e0`; fixes #8048 | Graceful then immediate Windows PTY teardown double-closed the same ConPTY handle and killed the shared daemon. | **Proven by actual native harness/diff.** `nodePtyKillIssued` makes later Windows force a no-op. Harness uses unique pipe/temp state, 25 victims, and a witness PTY/daemon survival assertion. | Shipped. Prevents one daemon-death path; does not authorize reconnect closes and does not retire descendants. Reuse its isolation/witness patterns only. |
| [PR #8284](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8284) | Closed unmerged 2026-07-16; head `ebe0b6523` | Proposed serial worktree PTY admission and verified fail-closed teardown across Windows/POSIX/SSH. | **Actual 50-file diff/tests inspected.** Retained shutdown ownership, admission fences, physical-exit proof, and Windows relay ConPTY ownership. | Contrary to the issue prompt, it did **not** merge. Landed work was split/superseded by #8661 and #8706. Its teardown patterns are useful, but adopting its broad branch is unsafe. |
| [PR #8661](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8661) | Merged before 1.4.146; key commit `a635ff9a7` | Disposal failure could prevent orderly runtime/daemon termination. | **Proven current source behavior.** Shutdown RPC catches `host.dispose`, logs `shutdown-dispose-failed`, then continues fencing, client destruction, and server close; resource disposal is retried. | Shipped before #9749. Corrects the report's inference that the failure necessarily leaves the endpoint authoritative forever. A native handle may still keep a process alive, but the server intends to close. |
| [#9045](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9045) | Open; 2026-07-16; Windows | Worktree deletion fails because agent descendants retain filesystem handles after PTY teardown. | **Supported descendant ownership gap.** Root PTY exit is not full tree exit on Windows. | Unresolved. It concerns cleanup after a legitimate kill, not who may initiate it. |
| [#9704](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9704) | Open; 2026-07-21; Windows 1.4.147/v24 | Killed PTY descendants survive (six trees/18 processes/~1.1 GB, later ~2 GB); runtime lists dead sessions as connected. | **Proven descendant leakage plus stale registry.** Explicitly asks for initiator attribution rather than assuming the kill was valid. | Unresolved. Different from #9749 because the root session was killed; #9704 concerns what survives afterward. |
| [PR #9752](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/9752) | Open; 2026-07-21; head `6be947317` | Windows agent descendants survive explicit or natural PTY-root exit. | **Actual native patch and tests inspected.** Suspends recognized native-Windows agent ConPTY roots, creates/configures/assigns a kill-on-close Job Object before resume, owns the handle atomically, and falls back to direct-root termination. Plain terminals, WSL, POSIX, SSH relay, and unrelated sessions are excluded; Windows process-table commands are removed. | Unshipped. Correct post-authorization cleanup, explicitly not an initiator fix. Combining it into the #9749 authority patch would obscure causality; compose/test separately if it lands first. |
| [PR #9266](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/9266) / [PR #9612](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/9612) | Both open; 2026-07-18/20 | Alternative Windows descendant tree termination using process enumeration/taskkill-style sweeps. | **Competing cleanup approaches.** Carry PID-reuse, access-denied, cost, and partial-tree risks that native Job ownership avoids. | Unshipped. Do not duplicate inside #9749. |
| [PR #8706](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/8706) | Merged 2026-07-15 as `40d015992`/merge `6dbeeda3e`; stable thereafter | POSIX agent descendants survived root teardown. | **Proven POSIX snapshot-before-root-kill.** Windows intentionally returns no snapshot. | Shipped for macOS/Linux only. No #9749 authority effect. |
| [#9193](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9193) / [PR #9288](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/9288) | Both open; 2026-07-17/18 | `terminal close --tab` cannot address live floating/tabless PTYs; pane close can kill, and Windows may retain a stale entry. | **Proven addressing/registry gap.** PR routes tabless PTY through existing pane close. | Unshipped. Diagnostic and stale-registry relevance only; making more sessions closeable is not authority fencing. |
| [#9563](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/9563) / [PR #9634](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/9634) | Both open; 2026-07-20/21; headless macOS | LaunchAgent host invokes update, disconnects clients, old binary respawns, and ShipIt reports “App Still Running.” | **Supported updater/headless ownership race.** PR defers installation while serving headlessly. | Unshipped. Must be a relaunch scenario in the harness, but updater policy is separate from close authority. |
| [#8261](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8261) | Open; 2026-07-11; macOS/Linux headless comments | Silent update installation kills active PTYs; one headless log has `shutdown reason:rpc killSessions:true`. | **Supported broad shutdown during update.** | Unresolved adjacent caller/lifecycle context. Updater UX and install policy are scope creep; broad shutdown attribution is relevant. |
| [#8459](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8459) | Open; 2026-07-13 | Resource Manager labels live daemon sessions orphan from renderer-only evidence and bulk-kills them. | **Proven ownership-safety precedent.** Absence from one renderer is not authority. | Unshipped. Same invariant as #9749, different UI initiator. Do not couple UI resource-manager redesign. |
| [#8585](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/8585) | Open; 2026-07-13; SSH relay | Failed relay `--connect` unlinks a socket while the old relay and PTYs remain alive. | **Different namespace/transport ownership leak.** | Unresolved.

Full headless lifecycle redesign is separate. |

## Timestamped incident and call-flow reconstruction
### A. How generations survive
1. **2026-07-15 13:50 local:** #9749's v21 daemon starts.
2. An app quit/update runs `disconnectDaemon`, whose adapter `disconnectOnly`
closes client sockets and leaves live PTYs/history reattachable. The daemon is
detached/unref'd, so parent death is not daemon death.
3. **2026-07-18 14:26 local:** a v22 daemon starts on a different versioned
endpoint while v21 retains its PTYs.
4. **2026-07-20 14:50 local:** v23 starts while both prior endpoints remain.
5. Windows endpoints are generated by
`getDaemonSocketPath(runtimeDir, protocolVersion)` as
`\\?\pipe\orca-terminal-host-v<protocol>-<sha256(runtimeDir)[0..12]>`.
Tokens and PID records are likewise protocol-specific files. No endpoint
collision forces an old generation out.
6. Before protocol 24, a non-empty daemon had no generation-retirement
protocol. Since #9277, an empty v24+ daemon can atomically self-retire, but a
live session intentionally blocks it and v23-or-older behavior is unchanged.
7. #9749's claim that `shutdown-dispose-failed` necessarily leaves the pipe open
is not source-proven for 1.4.146. Commit `a635ff9a7` catches disposal failure
and continues ordinary shutdown; #9277 additionally closes admission first.
A stuck native handle may keep a process alive, but the endpoint is meant to
stop being authoritative.
### B. Why startup greets every surviving generation
1. Current startup establishes the v25 (v24 in the reporter build) adapter and
its complete control/stream lifecycle lease.
2. `createLegacyDaemonAdapters(runtimeDir)` loops every value in
`PREVIOUS_DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSIONS`, derives that version's pipe/token/PID
paths, and probes each endpoint.
3. A responsive endpoint receives a `DaemonPtyAdapter` configured with that
exact old protocol. It has no respawn callback, because new code must not
recreate old environment semantics.
4. `DaemonPtyRouter.discoverLegacySessions()` calls `adapter.listProcesses()`
for each legacy adapter.
5. `listProcesses()` calls `ensureConnected()`. `DaemonClient.doConnect()` opens
a control socket, sends hello, then opens a stream socket and sends hello
using one client UUID. This is the precise source of each control/stream pair
in #9749 at `16:41:32.277Z` through `.286Z`.
6. v24+ hellos return PID/start-time/launch-nonce and require both sockets to
match. Old protocols return no identity, so successful token+protocol hello
authenticates the endpoint but cannot prove a process incarnation.
7. `listSessions` results populate `sessionAdapters: Map<sessionId, adapter>`.
That map is keyed only by reusable session ID, not daemon/session
incarnation; a later generation can overwrite an earlier claim.
8. No code in hello acceptance, adapter construction, or discovery sends
`kill`, `shutdown`, or `shutdownIfIdle` to a legacy daemon.
### C. Exact broad shutdown caller
1. Current-daemon replacement/manual restart/full cleanup calls
`cleanupDaemonForProtocol(runtimeDir, PROTOCOL_VERSION)` (or the explicitly
supplied current handle protocol).
2. It probes that version's endpoint and creates a `DaemonClient` for the same
protocol.
3. It connects with the same control/stream hello sequence.
4. It requests `listSessions`; any error is converted to `{ sessions: [] }`.
5. It then unconditionally sends `shutdown { killSessions: true }` and treats a
reply race with daemon exit as success.
6. `daemon-server.ts` logs `shutdown reason:'rpc' killSessions:true`, begins the
ordinary shutdown admission fence, awaits `host.dispose`, logs but catches
`shutdown-dispose-failed`, writes the reply if possible, disposes resources,
destroys clients/transports, unlinks owned identity artifacts, and closes
the server.
7. Repository search found no other direct production sender of
`shutdown { killSessions: true }`. Legacy adapter discovery is not a caller.
8. Unsafe residual: list failure cannot be treated as proof of emptiness for
any future generation reaper, and broad shutdown still lacks an origin,
daemon-incarnation, ownership, and intent audit record.
### D. Supported reconnect-to-mass-kill path
1. **Renderer bootstrap T+0:** a paired desktop/runtime renderer hydrates
persisted mirrors containing process-lifetime remote terminal handles.
2. **T+milliseconds:** before the fresh authoritative session snapshot fully
reconciles, remote transport subscribes using a stale handle.
3. The host cannot resolve a connected PTY for that handle and returns a gone
condition; remote transport synthesizes `pty-exit`.
4. `Terminal.tsx` calls `closeTerminalTab(tabId, { reason: 'pty-exit' })`.
5. Current main uses that reason for local retirement behavior but
`closeWebRuntimeSessionTab` sends only `{ worktree, tabId }`.
6. Runtime RPC `session.tabs.close` has no origin/intent in its schema or
handler. `OrcaRuntimeService.closeMobileSessionTab` treats it like an
explicit user request and invokes either direct `ptyController.kill`, a
whole-parent renderer close, or headless teardown.
7. For daemon-backed terminals, the PTY controller is the `DaemonPtyRouter`.
`adapterFor(sessionId)` uses the discovery map to select a current or legacy
generation and its adapter sends `kill { sessionId, immediate }`.
8. The owning daemon logs `session-killed` before awaiting `host.kill`. This is
why app and daemon PIDs remain alive while real terminal sessions disappear.
9. **#8871 observed T+3.348 s** for the first bootstrap-to-kill incident. Three
other new renderer processes aligned within about one second with 4-, 7-,
and 7-worktree kill bursts.
10. Stale host tab surfaces (#9352/#9585), persisted client mirrors, reconnect
retries, and republished snapshots can invoke the same close again. If the
daemon still retains the session entry or physical exit is unresolved, a
reconnect can rediscover and target the same ID again. Because logging
precedes the awaited kill, repeated `session-killed` records can also be
repeated failed/not-yet-settled attempts; they do not prove a dead process
was resurrected and killed twice.
### E. Why adjacent bugs are different
- **#8275/#8048/#8140:** PTY teardown double-closes a Windows ConPTY native
handle and the shared daemon dies. There is no broad shutdown event. All
sessions disappear because their owner process died.
- **#9704/#9045/#9752:** a valid or invalid kill has already targeted the PTY
root, but Windows descendants remain and retain memory/files. The owner stays
alive or the registry stays stale. This is cleanup completeness after a kill,
not destructive authority.
- **#9749/#8871:** app and daemons remain alive. Explicit RPCs reach live daemon
sessions because stale client lifecycle evidence is interpreted as intent.
## Compatibility behavior that must remain
- App quit is a disconnect, not terminal shutdown.
- Same-protocol daemon survival across packaged Windows updates (#7538) avoids
terminating live work.
- Old-protocol adapters remain addressable after an upgrade so mounted and
sleeping PTYs can reattach (#2974, #8768, #8817).
- Legacy daemons cannot be judged empty from one current profile or renderer.
Missing ownership data, inactive profiles, sleeping sessions, remote/SSH
routes, and legacy claims all mean keep/audit.
- Current protocol 24+ can retire only after its own atomic server-side idle
predicate proves there is nothing to preserve.
- Older clients/servers must not infer support from an ignored additive field.
In particular, no caller may send daemon `kill intent:'auto'` until a
protocol bump or negotiated capability proves the daemon will enforce it.
## Direction comparison
| Direction | Immediate safety | Compatibility and failure mode | Decision |
| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Skip `client-hello` for every old protocol | Avoids routing kills to legacy sessions, but also makes their live PTYs invisible/unattachable. | Directly violates warm legacy reattachment and converts preservation into inaccessible leaks. | Reject. Hello is not the authority bug. |
| Force-exit on `shutdown-dispose-failed` | Bounds a half-shutdown process if endpoint fencing and handle cleanup are correct. | Can silently destroy promised live PTYs; does not stop reconnect close RPCs; overlaps #9752 descendant semantics. Current source already continues server shutdown after disposal error. | Not the immediate fix. Test bounded endpoint loss separately. |
| Startup reaping | Can reduce accumulated attack surface. | Unsafe without #9138/#9229 all-profile evidence, exact incarnations, grace observations, barriers, and one authority. | Audit-only follow-up, not #9749 patch. |
| Explicit generation handoff/retirement | Correct long-term lifecycle model. | Requires old/new capability negotiation and ownership persistence across profiles, SSH, WSL, and sleeping sessions. | Broader #9138/#9229 work. |
| Daemon-side fencing | Prevents a retiring daemon from accepting new work or acting after retirement begins. | v24 #9277 already fences ordinary/idle shutdown admission; older protocols cannot be retrofitted. | Preserve and extend only with negotiated capability. |
| Host close-intent adjudication (#8872) | Stops the demonstrated stale `pty-exit` echo at the component that owns the live PTY, while real user close and genuinely dead tab retirement still work. | Old clients remain ambiguous unless paired with a default-deny compatibility policy. | Best narrow foundation. |
| Connection/device provenance policy (#8888) | Default-denies ambiguous paired-runtime destruction, adds dedupe/rate bounds and strong attribution. | Older paired clients receive a safe successful no-op; policy is broader than one close reason and must preserve mobile/CLI/local/SSH semantics. | Reuse focused policy/logging pieces; assess full policy after the failing harness. |
| Job Objects (#9752) | Reaps descendants after an authorized native-Windows agent PTY kill. | Cannot determine intent; plain terminal and WSL exclusions are semantically important. | Compose separately, never substitute for authority. |
The smallest robust immediate change is expected to combine typed close intent
with host-side liveness adjudication and non-secret requester logging. The
three-generation harness must decide whether #8888's default-deny/dedupe layer
is also required for old-client and repeated-reconnect safety. Full generation
retirement stays in #9138/#9229.
## Harness gate for the next phase
The first executable artifact will be an isolated native-Windows harness, not a
production edit. It must:
- allocate a temporary runtime/user-data root and unique pipe namespace;
- launch three disposable protocol fixtures (for example v21/v22/v23) with
distinct live canary children plus stale/terminating table entries;
- use the real `DaemonClient`, legacy adapter discovery, router, and runtime
session-close path where feasible instead of calling a proposed helper;
- prove hello/discovery alone is non-destructive;
- separately trigger the exact broad current-protocol shutdown caller and the
reconnect stale-mirror close path;
- distinguish daemon/app liveness, PTY-root liveness, and descendant liveness
with independent counters and process handles;
- repeat reconnect bursts and record duplicate requests for a retained ID;
- model a PTY owner whose disposal never proves physical exit and assert a
bounded, non-authoritative endpoint state;
- cover current→next protocol upgrade, same-version quit/relaunch, profile
switch, remote-server paired client, multiple simultaneous clients, mixed
client/server versions, and WSL/SSH routing boundaries;
- validate PID/start identity, dead parent, access-denied identity probes, no
listener/pipe/handle leaks, and no CIM/PowerShell per-session hot path;
- guarantee cleanup in `finally` using only fixture-owned exact PIDs, handles,
files, and pipe names.
Externally visible RED invariants are: reconnect kills one or more canary PTYs
while the app/fixture processes remain alive; repeated stale input can issue
another destructive request for the same retained incarnation; and a refused
disposal does not reach a bounded terminal endpoint state. The post-fix GREEN
invariants are survival of every unrelated canary, one exact kill for an
explicit user target, legacy warm reattachment, bounded retirement fencing, and
zero leaked fixture processes/handles/pipes.
## Implemented immediate safety boundary
Implementation snapshot: 2026-07-21 15:26 PDT (2026-07-21 22:26 UTC).
The initial implementation used a 30-second capability cache keyed only by
runtime-environment ID. That was rejected before finalization: a positive
`status.get` result could outlive a server replacement under the same
environment, and the later destructive request had no proof that it reached the
generation that supplied the capability.
The implemented boundary makes compatibility and identity validation atomic
with the lifecycle request:
1. Explicit user closes remain on `session.tabs.close`, preserving the durable
host-owned close behavior shipped by #8628 and compatibility with old
servers that ignore the additive `reason:'user'` field.
2. Renderer-originated `pty-exit` and `cleanup` echoes use the additive
`session.tabs.closeLifecycle` method. An old server returns
`method_not_found` before entering its legacy destructive close handler. The
client clears optimistic close suppression and requests an authoritative
snapshot; it never falls back to `session.tabs.close`.
3. The lifecycle method requires both the `publicationEpoch` observed in the
host snapshot and the exact terminal handle observed for that tab. Missing
evidence means keep, refresh, and audit rather than kill.
4. The host refreshes its PTY records, rejects a different publication epoch,
rejects a terminal handle that no longer belongs to the addressed parent,
rejects when provider liveness is unavailable, and rejects while any parent
leaf still has a connected PTY. Refusals carry a bounded reason
(`stale-publication`, `stale-terminal`, `unknown-liveness`,
`live-host-pty`, or `retirement-owner`) and republish only when doing so
cannot create the known dead-leaf/live-sibling echo loop.
5. A lifecycle close never signals a PTY or relays a renderer close. A dead
whole headless parent can be retired from persisted/runtime state with
`killPtys:false`; a renderer-owned parent or partial split remains with its
authoritative owner. Thus a reusable tab ID or incomplete provider read
cannot become destructive authority.
6. Reasonless closes from authenticated legacy mobile or runtime clients retain
their pre-change explicit-user meaning, so upgrading only the host does not
break close. Their old lifecycle/user ambiguity remains until the client
upgrades; unattributed in-process reasonless calls are refused and replayed.
7. Renderer close intents are scoped by runtime environment and worktree, and
terminal-incarnation evidence must match that exact runtime environment.
Identical tab/worktree IDs in another profile cannot suppress or authorize
this profile's retirement.
The RPC span records origin/client kind, close reason, connection ID, request
ID, publication epoch, and allow/refusal decision. It does not record terminal
contents, authentication tokens, or environment secrets. The legacy adapter
hello/discovery path, warm PTY adoption, daemon shutdown protocol, and Job
Object descendant cleanup remain unchanged.
This is the smallest immediate #9749 fix. Cross-profile generation inventory,
all-profile ownership evidence, sleeping-session policy, and explicit daemon
handoff/retirement remain #9138/#9229. Windows descendant reaping after an
authorized kill remains #9704/#9752.
## GREEN evidence
The post-fix native-Windows run completed at 2026-07-21 15:25 PDT:
- v21/v22/v23 used distinct versioned named pipes under a disposable runtime
root, with six independent PTY-root/descendant canaries;
- three reconnect discovery bursts plus simultaneous clients opened the real
control/stream hello pairs without destructive side effects;
- desktop and two remote/profile connection identities attempted each stale
mirror retirement three times, then a full reconnect-client process
exit/relaunch repeated the same persisted IDs for six attempts total;
- the lifecycle requests traversed the production schema, dispatcher,
`OrcaRuntimeService`, and `DaemonPtyRouter` using publication/terminal
incarnation claims;
- every daemon, PTY root, and descendant remained alive while the app/client
process remained alive;
- the contained refusal-to-exit PTY produced `shutdown-dispose-failed`, lost
named-pipe authority within the bounded deadline, and was cleaned by exact
fixture-owned process identity;
- the reconnect/relaunch test passed in 42.9 seconds and the bounded-disposal
test passed in 15.2 seconds.
Focused verification at this checkpoint: node and web typechecks passed;
changed-file `oxlint` and `git diff --check` passed; 181 focused renderer/RPC
tests passed; and 12 host close-adjudication tests passed (784 unrelated tests
filtered out). No PowerShell/CIM process-per-session path, polling loop, broad
installed-daemon discovery, or Job Object implementation was added.
Additional validation completed at 2026-07-21 15:48 PDT:
- the native generation harness passed 25 reconnect bursts in 52.1 seconds;
every v21/v22/v23 daemon and all six PTY-root/descendant canaries survived;
- the mixed-version daemon-lifecycle E2E kept the non-empty v22 daemon
reattachable while the empty current v24 daemon retired through #9277;
- a fresh `pnpm build:electron-vite` and a fresh paired-web-client build both
completed successfully;
- 182 remote-runtime, multi-client, remote-server parity, SSH-provider, WSL
host-context, and remote PTY transport tests passed;
- the complete runtime service/RPC group passed 884 of 885 tests. The lone
failure, `preserves existing badgeColor on runtime createRepo dedupe`, is an
existing Windows-only POSIX path expectation (`/tmp/...` versus
`\\tmp\\...`) in code untouched by this change; every close, remote, SSH,
and WSL case in that run passed;
- CLI typecheck, switch-independent changed-file lint, reliability gates,
max-lines ratchet, and `git diff --check` passed. The repository-wide
switch-exhaustiveness command is blocked by the pre-existing unmatched
`undefined | 'current' | 'duplicate'` cases in
`skill-freshness-group.tsx`, outside this diff.
Two practical Electron runs exposed setup/teardown limitations without
contradicting the close-safety result:
- `restart-restore-terminal-input.spec.ts` completed the clean-restart, live
daemon, restored-output, keyboard-input, and direct-input assertions, then
failed only in `RestartSession.dispose()` with `EPERM` deleting its isolated
profile. Restart Manager and Sysinternals Handle found no surviving file
lock after teardown; the exact fixture root deleted successfully later
without terminating a process. The same failure reproduced with the temp
root inside this worktree and with the production diff to
`orca-restart.ts` empty, so it is recorded as a fixture cleanup limitation,
not a session-liveness failure;
- the paired-browser navigation E2E built the web client and launched the
isolated desktop, but timed out before pairing because its host fixture
displayed `No workspaces found`. The deterministic multi-client runtime
integration passed; no terminal-close assertion failed in this E2E.
All diagnostic downloads and worktree-local E2E temp roots were removed by
their exact verified paths. No installed Orca daemon pipe or real user terminal
was discovered, greeted, stopped, or mutated during these runs.
## Internal review-until-clean and final native evidence
The requested `$internal-review-until-clean` loop ran against merge base
`937a2015eaf85144d02848c5b6d4c09ecd423830`. Round 1 found and fixed four
in-scope safety defects:
- lifecycle retirement could still relay a destructive renderer close or kill
retained/disconnected headless IDs; lifecycle requests now never signal a
process and only state-retire a dead whole headless parent;
- an unavailable/access-denied PTY inventory was treated like authoritative
absence; it now returns `unknown-liveness` and keeps/audits;
- pending close intent was keyed only by worktree and could cross-contaminate
two runtime profiles; it is now scoped and cleaned by environment/worktree;
- the harness accepted a two-second PID start-time tolerance; capture and
revalidation now compare the same CIM `CreationDate` exactly.
The elegance pass also removed an unnecessary cached capability probe. The
additive method dispatch on the exact connection is the atomic compatibility
boundary; a cached positive result could outlive server replacement. The
performance pass found no production polling, process enumeration, listener,
or subprocess addition. The existing bounded controller inventory refresh is
unchanged in frequency, snapshot refreshes coalesce per environment/worktree,
and all added tracking maps have completion or ownership cleanup. Round 2
re-interrogated the full diff and found no remaining proven in-scope issue.
After strengthening the native harness to invoke production desktop discovery,
round 3 found one Windows-only test defect: three scanner tests modeled a live
v9 endpoint through POSIX `existsSync` but let every Windows named-pipe probe
connect. Their socket mock now accepts only v9 and errors every other version;
all 133 daemon lifecycle tests pass. The subsequent full-diff review is clean.
The latest native Windows run captured its event reconstruction at
2026-07-21 16:58 PDT (2026-07-21 23:58 UTC). It launched v21/v22/v23/v24/v25
on isolated versioned named pipes, then called the same
`createLegacyDaemonAdapters` scanner as desktop startup: the v25 client found
exactly v21-v24. Every generation accepted 16 reconnect control/stream hellos;
desktop and two remote-profile paths sent six lifecycle attempts for each
persisted stale-mirror ID across process relaunch. All five daemons, all ten
PTY roots, and all ten descendants were alive afterward, with zero
`session-killed` events. This directly covers the v24→v25 current-to-next
upgrade boundary while keeping older generations reattachable.
The bounded `shutdown-dispose-failed` scenario also passed and now separates
authority from liveness explicitly: the late connection failed after endpoint
fencing while the refusing daemon, PTY root, and descendant remained alive
until exact fixture cleanup. The full Playwright command, including a fresh
Electron E2E build, exited successfully in 137.1 seconds, and no
`orca-9749-dg-*` directory remained. A final no-rebuild rerun passed both
scenarios in 99.1 seconds; the practical Electron clean-relaunch check passed
again in 24.0 seconds, and mixed-version retirement/live-session preservation
passed 2/2 in 23.1 seconds.
Latest focused verification includes 15/15 host adjudication tests, 948/949
focused production/RPC/renderer tests, 133/133 daemon discovery/adoption/
retirement/access-failure tests, all three typechecks, and 215
remote-runtime, multi-client, remote-server, SSH-provider, WSL-context, remote
PTY, and shared-control tests. The sole focused failure remains the untouched
Windows `/tmp` normalization baseline documented above. The experimental
`terminal-session.daemon-generation-reconnect-safety` reliability gate records
the invariant, RED/GREEN oracle, performance budget, promotion criteria, and
known platform/provider gaps.
## Fresh PR review after current-main integration
The explicitly requested post-PR `$internal-review-until-clean` pass completed
at 2026-07-21 18:02 PDT after merging `v1.4.150-rc.0` main, including the
remote-runtime network-recovery work from #9774. It found and fixed three
additional contract gaps:
- a stale PTY-exit callback could borrow a replacement or sibling handle from
tab-wide state; lifecycle evidence now comes only from the exact callback PTY;
- the legacy close endpoint accepted lifecycle reasons without incarnation
evidence; it now accepts only explicit user intent, with reasonless
compatibility retained for authenticated legacy mobile and runtime clients;
- keep-on-unknown preserved the PTY but could leave its client mirror hidden;
the host now republishes unchanged authority when inventory is unavailable.
The PR feedback loop also corrected the bulk-close payload assertion and made
the fixture protocol list collision-safe. The final native no-build run passed
both scenarios in 98.8 seconds, the fresh-build run passed in 137.1 seconds,
mixed-version retirement passed, and practical Electron restart/input passed
two scenarios with one intentionally skipped wedge scenario. Current-main
remote recovery (112 tests), focused close/reconnect suites, all 15 host
adjudication cases, all typechecks, reliability gates, max-lines, changed lint,
formatting, and diff checks pass. The full lint command remains blocked only by
pre-existing current-main switch-exhaustiveness and localization findings; no
remaining in-scope review finding is open.
## Additional clean review after `v1.4.150-rc.0` integration
This additional requested `$internal-review-until-clean` pass completed at
2026-07-21 18:56 PDT (2026-07-22 01:56 UTC) against merge base
`4d0e3f51ce0325a8f4670b4074618494984ab63d`. Round 1 found and fixed four
in-scope evidence/performance gaps:
- the native harness omitted production `DaemonPtyRouter.listProcesses`, so
its synthetic lifecycle closes could pass through `unknown-liveness`; it now
routes the production inventory, uses worktree-prefixed daemon session IDs,
and requires every close to return `live-host-pty` with a republished
snapshot;
- concurrent reconnect closes each started a full cross-generation PTY
inventory; the host now shares one in-flight inventory and a deterministic
count test proves two concurrent closes call `listProcesses` once;
- the renderer introduced a second snapshot-refresh map; it now reuses the
existing environment/worktree remote-session deduper used by PTY reconnect;
- the reliability gate omitted the parked-tab callback path; its exact exiting
PTY incarnation assertion is now part of the gate.
The review also added a wire-compatibility assertion proving that the additive
`{ reason: 'user' }` field is stripped by the previous `ActivateTab` server
schema. The repeated elegance and performance interrogation found no remaining
avoidable infrastructure, polling, subprocess churn, listener/handle leak, or
unbounded reconnect work. Round 2 re-read the full production and fixture diff,
constructed stale-publication, stale-handle, concurrent-close, mixed-client,
and old-server failure paths, and found no remaining proven in-scope issue.
Fresh verification includes all three typechecks; reliability-manifest,
max-lines, changed-file lint, formatting, and diff checks; 175 remote snapshot
and PTY transport tests; and the isolated lifecycle/reconnect adjudication
group. The strengthened native five-generation Windows harness passed after a
fresh Electron E2E build in 137.2 seconds, required `live-host-pty` for every
synthetic close, left every daemon/root/descendant alive, and left no
`orca-9749-dg-*` directory. The full focused gate reached 992/993 passing tests;
the only failure remains the untouched Windows `/tmp` versus `\\tmp`
`createRepo` baseline. The newly merged headless-update group reached 143/144
passing tests plus 25 skips; its only failure is an untouched LF-only
source-text assertion that does not match CRLF on Windows.

# Project Ordering Mode
## Problem
The sidebar can group workspaces by project, but project header order is currently coupled to workspace sorting instead of having its own user choice.
- `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/SidebarWorkspaceOptionsMenu.tsx:59` defines one `Sort by` control for workspaces; it has no separate project-order setting.
- `src/renderer/src/store/slices/ui.ts:723` stores only `sortBy`, and `src/shared/types.ts:2543` persists the same workspace sort field.
- `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/worktree-list-groups.ts:36` derives `ProjectGroupOrdering` from `sortBy`, so project headers follow the highest-ranked visible workspace in Recent/Smart and fall back to manual order otherwise.
- `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/WorktreeList.tsx:3765` computes the ordered workspace ids, and `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/WorktreeList.tsx:4060` feeds the derived project ordering into `buildRows(...)`.
- `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/WorktreeList.tsx:826` only enables project-header drag when project grouping is manual and there are no Project Groups.
- `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/project-header-drag.ts:1` already implements pointer-based project header dragging for virtualized rows, and `src/renderer/src/store/slices/repos.ts:699`, `src/main/ipc/repos.ts:1029`, and `src/main/persistence.ts:2497` already persist whole-repo manual reorders.
Result: users cannot choose Manual vs Recent ordering specifically for projects, the default is not Manual, and changing workspace sort can unexpectedly reorder projects.
## Goal
Add a project-only ordering preference with two modes:
- `Manual`, the default. Project headers render in the persisted manual project order, and users can drag project headers to reorder them.
- `Recent`. Project headers render by the most recent visible workspace activity in each project.
This must affect only project header order in `groupBy: 'repo'`. Worktree/workspace rows inside each project must continue to use the existing workspace `sortBy`, filtering, pinning, lineage, status, and manual-order behavior.
## Non-goals
- Do not change `sortBy` semantics or the workspace `Sort by` control.
- Do not change worktree `manualOrder`, `sortOrder`, `lastActivityAt`, or `buildWorktreeComparator(...)`.
- Do not reorder worktrees inside a project when the project ordering mode changes.
- Do not change Project Group header order; groups continue to use `ProjectGroup.tabOrder`.
- Do not add GitHub-specific behavior. Repo/project ordering must remain provider-neutral and work for GitLab, folder projects, local repos, SSH repos, and runtime environments.
- Do not add telemetry in this pass unless a later product requirement asks for it.
## Design
1. Add a persisted project-order preference.
- Introduce `ProjectOrderBy = 'manual' | 'recent'` in `src/shared/types.ts` or a concrete sidebar ordering module.
- Add `projectOrderBy: ProjectOrderBy` to `PersistedUIState`, defaulting to `'manual'` in `getDefaultUIState()` (`src/shared/constants.ts:387`).
- Add `projectOrderBy` and `setProjectOrderBy` to the UI slice next to `sortBy` (`src/renderer/src/store/slices/ui.ts:723`). Like `setSortBy`, this setter is a bare `set({...})` — it does not persist on its own.
- Persist through the debounced UI writer, not the setter. `sortBy`/`groupBy` reach disk only via the explicit field list in `App.tsx`'s `window.api.ui.set({...})` effect (`src/renderer/src/App.tsx:1019`) plus its dependency array (`src/renderer/src/App.tsx:1042`). Add `projectOrderBy` to both, or the value lives only in memory and silently resets to `'manual'` every restart.
- Normalize persisted values in `src/main/persistence.ts` the same way `sortBy` is normalized at `src/main/persistence.ts:323`, and wire the normalizer into both `getUI()` (`src/main/persistence.ts:3116`) and `updateUI()` (`src/main/persistence.ts:3147`); invalid or missing values resolve to `'manual'`.
- Hydration in `src/renderer/src/store/slices/ui.ts:1862` should read the normalized value without migrating existing `sortBy`.
2. Expose the choice in the sidebar options menu.
- In `SidebarWorkspaceOptionsMenu`, keep the existing `Sort by` submenu as workspace sorting.
- Add a second radio submenu labeled `Project order` with `Manual` and `Recent`.
- Show it only when `groupBy === 'repo'`, because project ordering has no visible effect in `none`, `workspace-status`, or `pr-status`.
- Use existing `DropdownMenuRadioGroup` and sidebar/menu styling from `docs/STYLEGUIDE.md`; no new tokens or custom colors.
- Copy should make the scope clear: Manual description `Drag projects to arrange them`; Recent description `Most recent workspace activity`.
3. Decouple project header ordering from workspace sorting.
- Replace `getProjectGroupOrdering(groupBy, sortBy)` with a project-order resolver that depends on `groupBy` and `projectOrderBy`, not workspace `sortBy`.
- Update `buildRows(...)` so `groupBy !== 'repo'` ignores project order, `projectOrderBy === 'manual'` uses persisted manual ranks, and `projectOrderBy === 'recent'` sorts project header entries by a per-repo recent timestamp.
- Recent must be timestamp-based, not first-encounter. Today's `'visible-worktree-order'` path (`src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/worktree-list-groups.ts:548`) works only because the caller pre-sorts the worktree array by recency when `sortBy` is `recent`/`smart`. Decoupling from `sortBy` removes that guarantee — the incoming array may be name- or manual-sorted — so the Recent resolver must explicitly compute `max(lastActivityAt)` per repo rather than relying on encounter order.
- Recent project rank should be the maximum `lastActivityAt` among that repo's visible, unpinned worktrees passed into `buildRows(...)`. Empty placeholder projects and imported-worktree-card-only projects fall back to `Repo.addedAt`, then manual rank, then label.
- Do not reorder `group.items`; only reorder the project header entries before `appendOrderedGroups(...)`. This preserves the existing `orderMainWorktreeFirst(...)` and workspace row ordering at `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/worktree-list-groups.ts:632`.
- With Project Groups, keep group headers ordered by `tabOrder`; apply Manual/Recent only to project entries within each group or the ungrouped bucket.
4. Make Manual drag/drop project-scoped (no-Project-Groups case only in v1).
- Enable project header dragging when `groupBy === 'repo' && projectOrderBy === 'manual'`, regardless of workspace `sortBy`. Today `canReorderRepoHeaders` is additionally gated on `!hasProjectGroups` (`src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/WorktreeList.tsx:827`); the only change here is dropping the `sortBy`-derived `projectGroupOrdering` input in favor of `projectOrderBy === 'manual'`. The `!hasProjectGroups` gate stays.
- Keep using pointer events from `project-header-drag.ts` unchanged; the virtualized-row reasoning at `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/project-header-drag.ts:3` still applies. For the no-Project-Groups case it already does exactly what we need: a flat whole-list permutation committed through `reorderRepos(...)`, preserving current behavior and IPC rejection semantics.
- Continue to suppress click-to-collapse only after a promoted drag, matching `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/project-header-drag.ts:142`.
- Defer grouped (within-Project-Group) drag to a follow-up. `useRepoHeaderDrag` is built for a single flat `orderedRepoIds` permutation: `endDrag` (`src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/project-header-drag.ts:130`) computes `fromIndex`/`insertAt` over one array and calls `onCommit` → `reorderRepos`, and `onHandlePointerDown` (`src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/project-header-drag.ts:300`) snapshots every on-screen `[data-repo-header-id]` with no notion of group boundaries. Supporting in-group reorder needs new hook logic — bucket-aware drop targets, rejecting drops outside the source sibling bucket, computing a midpoint between neighbor `projectGroupOrder` values, and a second commit mode that calls `moveProjectToGroup(projectId, sameGroupId, order)` (`src/renderer/src/store/slices/repos.ts:138`) instead of `reorderRepos`. This is its own change and is out of scope for v1.
- In v1, Project-Groups users keep the project actions menu as the move surface (it already calls `moveProjectToGroup`). Manual project order still applies to their headers via the row-builder sort (step 3); only drag-to-reorder is unavailable inside groups.
- Do not turn a project reorder drag into a cross-group move in any version. The existing project actions menu remains the cross-group move surface.
5. Keep persistence and runtime parity intact.
- Local no-group manual reorder continues through `repos:reorder` (`src/main/ipc/repos.ts:1029`) and `Store.reorderRepos(...)` (`src/main/persistence.ts:2497`).
- Remote no-group manual reorder continues through `repo.reorder` (`src/renderer/src/store/slices/repos.ts:723`).
- Grouped manual reorder via drag is deferred (see step 4); the follow-up would route through `projectGroup.moveProject` / `moveProjectToGroup(...)`, which already handles local and runtime-environment calls. In v1, grouped projects move only through the existing actions menu.
- The project-order preference is renderer UI state, not repo metadata. It persists through the `App.tsx` debounced `window.api.ui.set({...})` writer (step 1), not through any repo record.
6. Tests.
- Add row-builder tests proving `projectOrderBy: 'manual'` orders project headers by `repoOrder` without changing workspace row order.
- Add row-builder tests proving `projectOrderBy: 'recent'` orders project headers by max visible `worktree.lastActivityAt` while preserving each project's child row order.
- Add Project Group tests for Manual and Recent within groups, plus unchanged `ProjectGroup.tabOrder`.
- Rewrite, do not extend, the existing Recent/`getProjectGroupOrdering` tests. The current cases at `src/renderer/src/components/sidebar/worktree-list-groups.test.ts:639` ("orders repo headers by first encounter…"), `:663` ("…highest-ranked visible child"), and the `getProjectGroupOrdering` block at `:752` all assert the old first-encounter coupling and are semantically incompatible with timestamp-based Recent. Replace them with tests for the new resolver and the `max(lastActivityAt)` ordering.
- Add UI slice/persistence normalization tests for default Manual, invalid value fallback, and hydration. Include a persistence-writer test (or note) that `projectOrderBy` is part of the `App.tsx` `ui.set` payload so it actually round-trips across restart.
- Grouped manual drag persistence tests are deferred with the grouped-drag feature (step 4).
## Edge cases
- Existing users with no `projectOrderBy` get Manual, even if their workspace `sortBy` is Recent.
- Changing workspace `sortBy` must not change project header order unless `projectOrderBy === 'recent'` and the visible worktree set/activity data changes.
- Changing `projectOrderBy` must not mutate any worktree `manualOrder` or repo order by itself.
- Manual drag while a project is added or removed can race. Whole-repo reorder (the only v1 drag path) keeps the existing permutation rejection and refetch behavior. (Grouped midpoint writes and their refetch-on-failure handling come with the deferred grouped-drag follow-up.)
- In Recent mode, projects with no visible worktrees should still render when they are placeholders or imported-worktree-card candidates; they sort after projects with activity.
- Pinned worktrees remain in the Pinned section. They should not make their project jump in Recent ordering unless an unpinned visible workspace in that project is also recent.
- Filters and hidden sleeping/default-branch workspaces affect the visible worktree set. Recent project order should reflect the rows the user can currently see.
- Project Group collapse state must not change when the order mode changes.
- Dragging a project inside a collapsed Project Group is impossible because its repo headers are not mounted; no special handling is needed.
- Dragging across Project Group boundaries should not silently move the project; cross-group moves stay on the actions menu. (In v1 there is no in-group drag at all — see step 4 — so this only constrains the deferred grouped-drag follow-up.)
- SSH/runtime projects must use the same store actions as local projects. No local filesystem path assumptions are needed.
- Folder projects have synthetic worktrees and should participate through the same `lastActivityAt` and manual repo order paths.
- Multi-window or external mutations are last-writer-wins through existing persistence. A rejected whole-repo permutation refetches repos (existing behavior); a failed grouped move would do the same once grouped drag lands.
- Behavior change on upgrade: existing users on `sortBy: recent`/`smart` currently see project headers bubble to follow workspace activity. After this change they default to Manual project order, so headers stop bubbling until they pick Recent in the new submenu. This is intended (matches the "no `projectOrderBy` → Manual" edge case) but is a visible change worth calling out in release notes.
## Rollout
1. Add `ProjectOrderBy` types/defaults/normalization, the UI slice setter, the `App.tsx` debounced-writer field, and persistence `getUI()`/`updateUI()` wiring.
2. Add the `Project order` submenu in `SidebarWorkspaceOptionsMenu`.
3. Update `WorktreeList` to read `projectOrderBy`, pass it to row construction, and enable project drag only in Manual project order (no-Project-Groups case, keeping the `!hasProjectGroups` gate).
4. Update `worktree-list-groups.ts` to order project headers by Manual or Recent independently from workspace `sortBy`, with Recent using `max(lastActivityAt)` per repo.
5. Add focused row-builder and UI persistence/round-trip tests; rewrite the incompatible first-encounter/`getProjectGroupOrdering` tests.
6. Run targeted Vitest for sidebar row ordering and repo slice tests, then `pnpm typecheck` and `pnpm lint`.
7. Validate in Electron: default startup shows Manual project order, the choice survives restart, project drag/drop reorders project headers only (ungrouped), Recent project order follows workspace activity, and worktree rows inside each project do not change when toggling project order.
Deferred follow-up (separate change): extend `useRepoHeaderDrag` for grouped sibling buckets — bucket-aware drop targets and a second commit mode using `moveProjectToGroup(...)` midpoint ordering inside Project Groups — plus its grouped-drag persistence tests.

# Reliability Gates Implementation Plan
Date: 2026-07-02
Source context: [`docs/reference/reliability-pain-points-2026-06-30.md`](./reliability-pain-points-2026-06-30.md).
## Current Status
Last updated: 2026-07-03.
The first repo-side reliability batch is useful, but it should be treated as a first-layer regression net, not a finished terminal reliability program. Before final merge claims, rebase or retarget the stack onto fresh `origin/main` and verify it still includes the protections that landed there after the branch was cut.
Stack topology facts the rest of this plan depends on (verified 2026-07-02):
- `brennanb2025/fix-terminal-reliability` is simultaneously the integration worktree and the head branch of #7001, and it is the base branch of all five child PRs (#7004-#7008). Committing broad product changes to it would turn #7001 into the single large terminal PR this plan forbids and would silently change every child PR's diff.
- The committed branch contains only the manifest, checker, checker tests, and these docs (a 5-gate manifest as committed). Everything else this plan describes — the expanded manifest, product hardening, and new or updated tests across roughly 39 modified files plus 3 untracked files — exists only as uncommitted working-tree changes in this worktree. No evidence run below is reproducible from any pushed ref until the split branches are committed and pushed.
- The branch's merge-base with `origin/main` is roughly 97 commits stale. Fresh main renamed `terminal-webgl-paste-recovery.{ts,test.ts}` to `terminal-webgl-atlas-recovery.{ts,test.ts}` in #6949, so the current `xterm-addon.boundary-containment` manifest entry and its documented command break on rebase; see Fresh-Eyes Corrections.
- The manifest is the single source of truth for gate counts and per-gate status. Where this document records counts they are dated snapshots; `pnpm run check:reliability-gates` prints the current gate total.
Known Orca PR stack:
- [#7001](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7001), `Add reliability gate manifest`: merged on 2026-07-03. The manifest, checker, and plan docs are on main; [#7295](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7295) hardens the checker policy and registers the merged #7133/#7148/#7173/#7192 regression tests as partial gates with fresh main-side evidence.
- [#7005](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7005), `Add terminal snapshot freshness contract gate`: depends on #7001 and protects the stale-liveness/newborn-PTY class behind `terminal-session.snapshot-freshness`.
- [#7008](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7008), `Expand provider session replay ownership gate`: depends on #7001 and protects the agent/provider ownership class behind `agent-session.provider-ownership`.
- [#7004](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7004), `Contain xterm addon failures to terminal panes`: depends on #7001. The current branch has a first executable xterm containment slice for addon load, link-provider, search, and WebGL failure containment; it still needs live typed input/output survival before promotion.
- [#7006](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7006), `Prove visible terminal size convergence`: depends on #7001. The current branch now has a first deterministic renderer/main contract slice for post-spawn reconcile, split-right 0x0 recovery, applied `pty:getSize`, and resume-time size reassertion; it still needs live shell, SSH/remote, and Windows ConPTY geometry proof before promotion.
- [#7007](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7007), `Add persisted session upgrade fixture gate`: depends on #7001. The current manifest entry is still commandless in this branch, so treat it as a registered startup-upgrade gap until immutable fixture commands are wired.
Merged related product hardening:
- [#7054](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7054), `Prevent hidden terminal TUI overlap`: merged on 2026-07-01 with `verify`, Wayland terminal input, golden Linux E2E, golden mac E2E, and community tracking checks passing. This fixes the hidden regular-terminal TUI overlap class by scheduling bounded post-parse WebGL atlas recovery for risky hidden TUI redraws while keeping hidden bytes on the background write path.
- [#7133](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7133), `Fix stale terminal frames on worktree return`: merged on 2026-07-02 as a high-priority regression fix, root-caused on a live repro. Hidden-output restore skipped the destructive clear for alternate-screen snapshots, `?1049h` is a no-op on a pane already on the alt screen, and serialized frames skip blank cells, so the pre-hide frame bled through the final frame until a select or resize. The fix writes an alt-only `\x1b[?1049h\x1b[2J\x1b[H` preamble before alt-screen snapshot data (normal-buffer scrollback untouched, still no `3J`) and hardens the WebGL reveal path: dispose-on-bail with a single-addon invariant, refresh-always atlas reset, and a settled-frame pane-scoped repaint on tab reveal, worktree resume, and window wake. It supersedes the reverted #7058 approach and closes the alt-screen hole that #7054's hidden-output skip machinery made load-bearing. Its deterministic tests — the alt-only-clear-before-snapshot assertions in `pty-connection.test.ts`, plus `pane-webgl-renderer.test.ts`, `pane-reveal-repaint.test.ts`, and `terminal-visibility-resume.test.ts` — are the seed assertions for `terminal-output.scrollback-restore` and the WebGL side of `xterm-addon.boundary-containment` once the stack rebases.
- [#7148](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7148), `Match main terminal mirror character widths to the renderer`: merged on 2026-07-02, hours after #7133. Root cause of the residual post-#7133 bottom-row tears: the renderer xterm measures with Unicode 11 + ZWJ joining while the daemon headless mirror used default-width tables, so every positioned write after an emoji lands shifted and the tears are baked into the very mirror that restores replay — #7133's clear made restores faithful to the mirror and exposed it. The fix moves the unicode provider to `src/shared/terminal-unicode-provider.ts` and activates it in the headless emulator. Its red-green width test, `src/main/daemon/headless-emulator-unicode-width.test.ts` on main, is the seed assertion for the new `terminal-mirror.parser-parity` gate, and the shared provider plus `pane-terminal-options.ts` are the shared-construction seams that gate must assert on. #7148 also touches `pane-lifecycle.ts`, which both this worktree and #7004's branch modify — another confirmed rebase-conflict site.
- [#7173](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7173), `Fix Codex pane output tearing after app occlusion`: merged on 2026-07-03. A delayed background-origin Codex chunk carrying a stateful query could take the hidden live-write path after a newer snapshot restore had already rebuilt the renderer, overwriting newer state; an adversarial review pass added seq-restart guards so revived sessions (hibernation wake, kill plus cold-restore under the same PTY id) cannot silently freeze hidden output against a stale seq high-water mark. Its three red-proven tests in `pty-connection.test.ts` on main — reference-parse buffer equality over the ordered raw stream plus both revival guards — are exactly the exactness-oracle shape this plan prescribes and seed the hidden/live interleaving slice of `terminal-output.scrollback-restore`.
- [#7192](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/7192), `Keep runtime mirror sized with desktop terminal resizes`: merged on 2026-07-03. Desktop `pty:resize` updated the PTY and renderer but never the runtime mirror, so the mirror parsed all subsequent bytes at its birth width, soft-wrapped TUI repaints into a corrupted ladder, and baked that corruption into every restore snapshot; the fix fans accepted desktop resizes to the mirror and serializes mirror reflow with queued output writes on the per-PTY write chain. This exposed a plan gap now fixed: the runtime mirror is a geometry authority in its own right, and renderer-vs-mirror convergence checks cannot see corruption upstream of the mirror. Its red-proven tests in `orca-runtime.test.ts` and `pty.test.ts` on main seed the mirror-geometry slice of `terminal-geometry.visible-convergence`.
Factory and skill status:
- [orca-internal #491](https://github.com/stablyai/orca-internal/pull/491), `Require reliability gates in factory reviews`: merged on 2026-07-01. This updates the factory review flow so terminal/session/provider/startup/release changes must name the relevant reliability class, invariant, gate or accepted gap, and validation evidence.
- [orca-internal #493](https://github.com/stablyai/orca-internal/pull/493), `Add Playwright reliability test skill`: as last reviewed, this still needed rebase/regeneration before merge because the reliability plan depends on Playwright tests being evidence-based, low-flake, and tied to named invariants.
Remaining work:
- Rebase or retarget the reliability stack on fresh `origin/main` before making final merge claims. Current main already contains terminal fixes that the stack must absorb, including hidden TUI overlap, input-lag, scrollback replay, Windows ConPTY keyboard reset, resume width flicker, remote mirror polling, and the #7133 stale alt-screen frame fixes. As part of the rebase, mechanically verify every declared `testFiles` entry in the manifest exists on fresh `origin/main`; the #6949 WebGL rename is a confirmed break. #7133 (merged 2026-07-02) touches `pty-connection.{ts,test.ts}` and `use-terminal-pane-global-effects.test.ts`, which this worktree also modifies, and `pane-webgl-renderer.{ts,test.ts}`, which #7004's branch also edits — expect real conflicts there. #7148 (merged 2026-07-02) additionally touches `pane-lifecycle.ts` and `headless-emulator.ts`, so the worktree's and #7004's pane-lifecycle edits must absorb its shared unicode-provider wiring. #7173 (merged 2026-07-03) rewrites the hidden live-write path in `pty-connection.{ts,test.ts}` and #7192 (merged 2026-07-03) touches `pty.test.ts` — both carry heavy worktree modifications, so the conflict surface keeps widening the longer the rebase waits. This worktree's replay/SSH/backpressure changes and #7004's containment changes must be rebased over #7133's alt-clear preamble, #7148's width fix, #7173's seq filtering, #7192's mirror resize fan-out, and the reveal-repaint hardening without weakening any side.
- Materialize the split: commit each uncommitted working-tree slice to its owning branch per the file assignment in the PR Split Plan, reset diverged child branches from the worktree versions of their files, and push. Only manifest, checker, and doc changes may be committed to `brennanb2025/fix-terminal-reliability` itself.
- Wire the aggregated non-blocking `reliability-gates` CI job (see Evidence Provenance And CI Wiring) so runtime and flake history accrue with machine provenance instead of hand-entered evidence.
- Split the current integration branch into focused PRs before final review and merge. Do not land this as one large terminal reliability PR; each PR should have its own invariant, evidence command, residual gaps, dependency note, and follow-up relationship to the rest of the stack.
- #7001 merged on 2026-07-03. Merge the gate-specific PRs only after resetting each from the worktree slice per the file assignment.
- Before merging each child PR, recheck it against the latest #7001/main because the shared manifest file can create normal stack drift or conflicts even when the PR currently reports clean.
- After merge, run the registered gate commands in soak and record runtime/flake evidence before promoting any gate to blocking.
- Update the factory skills again after the repo-side gate commands and CI jobs are stable, so agents can invoke exact commands instead of only requiring reliability evidence.
- Keep #7054's accepted gap visible: deterministic Claude-like TUI streams validated the renderer path, but live Claude Code was not part of that PR's validation. #7133 has since closed the alt-screen snapshot-restore hole in the same hidden-output machinery, and its buffer-merge root cause is exactly the class the `terminal-output.scrollback-restore` gate must make hard to reintroduce; the live-Claude validation gap remains.
## PR Split Plan
The current `brennanb2025/fix-terminal-reliability` branch is an integration branch, not the desired final review shape. It should be split into smaller PRs so reviewers can verify one reliability class at a time, bisect failures, and avoid merging a broad terminal lifecycle change without understanding which protection each file belongs to.
Branch and manifest ownership rules:
1. `brennanb2025/fix-terminal-reliability` is #7001's head branch. Only manifest, checker, checker-test, and plan-doc changes may be committed to it. Split items 2-6 go to their own branches, stacked on this branch and retargeted to `main` after #7001 merges.
2. #7001 may only declare gates whose `testFiles` all exist on `origin/main`. The checker's declared-file rule makes this self-enforcing: a manifest entry whose test files land in a later PR cannot pass CI inside #7001.
3. Every later PR owns its own manifest entries. It adds or upgrades the gates it implements — entry, `evidenceRuns`, and `assertionRefs` — in the same PR as the tests and hardening they reference. The manifest file is shared, but each entry has exactly one owning PR, and manifest conflicts are resolved by entry ownership, never by hand-merging divergent copies of an entry.
4. Commandless registered-gap entries (`protection: "none"`, no test files) may ride in #7001 because they reference nothing that can drift.
5. The integration worktree is the single authoritative copy of every overlapping file. Child branches that have diverged (for example, `resume-sleeping-agent-session.ts` on #7008's branch is ~156 diff lines behind this worktree) must be reset from the worktree slice, not reconciled by hand.
Recommended split:
1. Reliability gate manifest and plan docs.
This PR owns `config/reliability-gates.jsonc`, the manifest checker hardening, checker tests, and this plan document. It should merge first because later PRs reference gate ids, evidence metadata, and promotion rules from the manifest. It should not include terminal product behavior changes.
2. Provider ownership and session replay safety.
This PR owns the agent/provider identity invariant: activation, restore, sleep, hibernate, dedupe, clearing, and reconnect paths must not replay a provider session that is already owned, queued, pending, retained, or live in the workspace. It should include the provider-session ownership tests, repeat-activation lower-layer proofs, automatic resume claim coverage, same-session/wrong-session hook coverage, and any narrowly required product hardening.
3. Startup hydration, provider fanout, and targeted liveness.
This PR owns startup-adjacent PTY registry hydration, targeted `pty.hasPty(id)` liveness, no-hot `pty:listSessions()` paths, Resource Manager polling scoping, SSH/provider unknown-liveness semantics, degraded-daemon fail-closed behavior, and related tests. It should depend on the manifest PR and should explicitly say that live SSH, WSL, remote-runtime, and production startup reconcile remain follow-up gates unless implemented in the same PR.
4. Terminal lifecycle observability.
This PR owns compact anomaly breadcrumbs and bounded lifecycle traces for terminal lifecycle diagnosis. It should make failures easier to debug without claiming to prevent them. It should prove that diagnostics are compact, deduped or bounded, privacy-conscious, and included in the right local crash/diagnostic surfaces. Diagnostics-bundle export and live forbidden-transition artifacts should remain visible follow-ups until proven.
5. PTY output, IPC, and performance hardening.
This PR owns daemon stream batching, main-to-renderer pending output caps, ACK/backpressure behavior, replay queue bounds, runtime/mobile stream byte budgets, and related perf-sensitive contracts. It needs the hardest review because small behavior changes here can cause input latency, hidden-output, memory, or ordering regressions. It should include explicit runtime budgets and should not promote any perf gate to blocking without soak evidence.
6. Live local PTY and E2E reliability slice.
This PR owns the first live Electron/local PTY liveness gate. It should stay small: spawn a real terminal, prove one active PTY, type through focused xterm, verify process-visible output, hide/restore the workspace without duplicating or losing the PTY, resize and verify applied size, then exit and verify cleanup. It should remain `experimental` until CI/runtime history proves it is not flaky. Tab switch, app restart, SSH, WSL, Windows ConPTY, and scrollback restore should be explicit follow-ups unless included with equally strong oracles.
Mapping to the open stack and file assignment:
The six split items and the five open child PRs overlap; this mapping is authoritative. Every working-tree file must land in exactly one PR below. Four files contain changes from multiple reliability classes and must be split by hunk, with the earlier PR in the merge order owning its hunks first: `config/reliability-gates.jsonc` (per-entry ownership), `src/main/ipc/pty.ts` and its test, `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.ts` and its test, and `src/renderer/src/store/slices/terminals.ts`.
1. #7001 (split item 1, manifest and plan docs): `config/scripts/check-reliability-gates.mjs`, `config/scripts/check-reliability-gates.test.mjs`, `docs/reference/reliability-gates-implementation-plan.md`, and the manifest restricted to gates whose test files exist on `origin/main` plus commandless gap entries.
2. #7008 (split item 2, provider ownership and replay safety): `src/renderer/src/lib/resume-sleeping-agent-session.ts` and test, plus its ownership slice of `terminals.ts`. Reset the branch from the worktree slice; keep the PR number for review continuity.
3. #7005 (snapshot freshness and targeted renderer liveness): `terminal-dead-session-reconcile.ts` and test, `use-terminal-pane-lifecycle.ts` and test, `use-terminal-pane-global-effects.test.ts`, and the `pty.hasPty` preload/API plumbing (`src/preload/api-types.ts`, `src/preload/index.ts`, `src/renderer/src/web/web-preload-api.ts`, the `hasPty` slice of `src/main/ipc/pty.ts`).
4. New PR (split item 3, startup hydration, provider contracts, no-hot listing): `hydrate-local-pty-registry.ts` and test, `daemon-pty-adapter.ts` and test, `daemon-pty-router.ts` and test, `degraded-daemon-pty-provider.ts` and test, `pty-session-id.test.ts`, `src/shared/pty-session-id-format.ts`, `src/main/providers/ssh-pty-provider.ts`, `ResourceUsageStatusSegment.tsx`, `resource-manager-session-polling.test.ts` (currently untracked), `store-session-cascades.test.ts`, and the SSH/liveness slices of `pty.ts`, `pty-connection.ts`, and `terminals.ts`.
5. New PR (split item 4, lifecycle observability): `terminal-lifecycle-diagnostics.ts` and `terminal-lifecycle-diagnostics.test.ts` (currently untracked).
6. New PR (split item 5, PTY output/IPC/perf hardening): `daemon-stream-data-batcher.ts` and test, `terminal-output-batching.test.ts`, `terminal-subscribe-buffer.test.ts`, and the pending-output-cap and replay/ACK slices of `pty.ts` and `pty-connection.ts`.
7. #7004 (xterm addon containment, outside the six split items): keep as its own PR; reset `pane-lifecycle.ts` and test from the worktree versions, and adopt fresh main's renamed WebGL test files during rebase.
8. #7006 (visible geometry, outside the six split items): keep as its own PR; any geometry hunks in `pty-connection.ts` belong to it.
9. #7007 (persisted upgrade fixtures): the gate is commandless with `protection: "none"`, so its manifest entry rides in #7001 under rule 4. Keep #7007 open only if it will deliver the actual fixture corpus and command; otherwise close it as absorbed.
10. New PR (split item 6, live local PTY E2E slice): `tests/e2e/terminal-live-pty-liveness.spec.ts` (currently untracked).
Merge order: #7001, then #7008, then #7005, then startup hydration/provider contracts, then lifecycle observability, then PTY output/IPC/perf hardening, then #7004, then #7006, then the live E2E slice. #7007 can merge any time after #7001 or be closed. The stack stays flat on #7001; each child rebases onto the merged state immediately before its own merge, and manifest conflicts are resolved by entry ownership.
If one later PR reveals a missing invariant in an earlier PR, update the earlier manifest entry or PR description before promotion rather than silently broadening the later PR's claim. The split is part of the reliability plan because reviewability, dependency clarity, and targeted rollback are themselves reliability controls.
Each split PR should follow Brennan's PR process before it is considered ready: write a scoped design doc, run delegated design review, implement from the reviewed doc, verify completeness against the original request and reliability gate, audit headline behavior, run `perf`, run the code-review/fix loop, run merge-confidence validation, open an unmerged PR, verify pushed state, and stabilize CodeRabbit/check findings. The PR text should describe that process as "Brennan's PR process"; do not mention the internal skill name in PR-facing text.
## PR Proof Contract
Every split PR must include a short proof section in its PR description before it can be treated as ready. This section should use direct evidence, not confidence language. Avoid absolute claims such as "this guarantees terminal reliability" or "this cannot regress performance." The valid claim is narrower: "this PR is safe to merge because the affected invariant, performance budget, and residual gaps were checked with the evidence below."
Required PR description sections:
- **Reliability invariant:** the class-level rule this PR protects and the recent issue, PR, or accepted gap that motivated it.
- **Material impact:** why this will meaningfully reduce escaped regressions, including which known bug class becomes harder to reintroduce.
- **Product change type:** docs/tooling, test-only gate, product hardening, diagnostics, perf hardening, or mixed.
- **Performance risk inventory:** whether the PR touches typing, focus, tab/workspace switch, visibility resume, resize, render, startup, provider listing, hidden output, PTY output, store subscribers, git/worktree scans, SSH, WSL, Windows, or mobile/relay paths.
- **No-regression evidence:** the exact count test, deterministic contract test, metric artifact, typecheck, or live run that proves the PR did not add unbounded scans, polling, hidden-pane wake loops, startup awaits, subprocess churn, renderer jank, or output buffering growth.
- **Correctness evidence:** the exact oracle and command proving the invariant. Tests that only prove implementation shape are not enough.
- **Provider/platform coverage:** local, daemon, SSH, WSL, remote-runtime, mobile/relay, macOS, Linux, and Windows must be marked covered, unaffected, or accepted-gap.
- **Residual gaps:** what this PR still does not prove. These gaps must remain in the manifest until a later PR removes them.
- **Promotion status:** whether the gate is `none`, `partial`, or `active`, and why it is not promoted beyond its current maturity.
- **Rollback or demotion rule:** what signal should cause the PR's gate to be demoted, disabled, or followed up.
Performance rule:
- A reliability PR is incomplete if it adds polling, global session listing, provider fanout, hidden-pane renderer wakeups, startup-critical awaits, repeated resize IPC, subprocess churn, unbounded output queues, broad store subscriptions, or uncapped diagnostics without a deterministic count test or metric budget.
- `pty:listSessions()` remains a global management/diagnostic operation, not a hot-path liveness primitive. Typing, focus, tab/workspace switch, visibility resume, resize, render, and per-pane liveness paths should use targeted APIs or cached ownership unless a PR provides measured proof that the broader call is safe.
- Any PR touching git/worktree scans, SSH git providers, WSL paths, cleanup, or startup repository enumeration must include the `git-crash-perf` style proof: bounded subprocesses, timeout/abort behavior, provider parity, and no startup-critical scan.
- Any PR touching terminal/session/provider/startup code must use the terminal-session reliability contract plus a performance budget. A green reliability test without a perf proof is not enough.
- Any PR that changes PTY output, IPC batching, ACK/backpressure, replay, or hidden-output behavior (split item 5 especially) must include a before/after run of an existing terminal perf artifact — `test:e2e:terminal-perf:scale:report` or the typing-latency specs — on the same machine, with both results in the PR description. Deterministic byte/count contracts prove bounds; only the perf artifact proves interactive latency did not regress.
- The gates themselves are a performance surface. Every command-backed gate must declare a runtime budget in the manifest, unit-layer gate commands should stay in single-digit seconds, and the aggregated CI job in Evidence Provenance And CI Wiring must stay inside its own wall-clock budget so reliability coverage does not degrade the development loop it protects.
Per-PR proof expectations:
1. Reliability gate manifest and plan docs.
Performance proof: no runtime product path changes. Checker runtime should stay cheap and deterministic, and manifest validation should not depend on network calls or live providers.
Materiality proof: the checker prevents overclaiming by requiring evidence metadata, existing test files, command-backed assertions, covered scope, and clear `none`/`partial`/`active` status.
2. Provider ownership and session replay safety.
Performance proof: activation and replay checks must be bounded by indexed workspace-local state, not repeated provider listing or O(records x pending-startups) scans. Tests should include repeat activation and bounded-work assertions where scans are introduced.
Materiality proof: this blocks the class where an inactive or hidden but valid provider session is mistaken for unowned and resumed again.
3. Startup hydration, provider fanout, and targeted liveness.
Performance proof: startup hydration must not block first usable UI, must expose bounded counters, and must not multiply provider/git scans across repos and worktrees without a budget. Hot interaction paths must prove zero broad `pty:listSessions()` calls.
Materiality proof: this prevents stale global snapshots or failed provider observations from closing or replacing the wrong terminal, while reducing session-listing fanout.
4. Terminal lifecycle observability.
Performance proof: breadcrumbs and traces must be capped, primitive-only, deduped or ring-buffered, and must not serialize terminal output, filesystem trees, scrollback, or large state. Tests must prove caps and sanitization.
Materiality proof: this does not itself prevent regressions, but it materially shortens future diagnosis by preserving the lifecycle facts needed to debug ownership, liveness, restore, resize, and replay failures.
5. PTY output, IPC, and performance hardening.
Performance proof: this PR must carry the strongest perf evidence in the stack: byte caps, queue caps, ACK/backpressure ordering, active-output priority, hidden-output behavior, and no unbounded renderer/main buffering. It should not become blocking until soak data shows stable runtime and no unexplained flakes.
Materiality proof: this protects the freeze/input-lag/memory-growth class where background or high-volume terminal output harms the active terminal or the app.
6. Live local PTY and E2E reliability slice.
Performance proof: the Playwright gate must be small, serial where needed, artifact-producing, and timed. It should prove the user path without becoming a broad slow/flaky suite. Runtime and flake history are required before promotion.
Materiality proof: this covers the layer that fake providers cannot prove: real Electron terminal spawn, keyboard input, process-visible output, hide/restore, resize, and cleanup.
## Factory And Skill Follow-Up
The current factory skills are close enough that the next step should be targeted edits, not a large new skill stack. The terminal-specific skill already exists, and Brennan's PR process already requires design review, perf review, code review, validation, pushed-state checks, and PR stabilization. The missing factory behavior is that reviewers and validators should explicitly fail PRs that omit the PR Proof Contract above.
Recommended skill/factory updates:
1. Update `terminal-session-reliability`.
Add the PR Proof Contract as a required output for terminal/session/provider/startup PRs. The skill should require reliability invariant, material impact, performance risk inventory, no-regression evidence, provider/platform coverage, residual gaps, promotion status, and rollback/demotion rule.
2. Update `review-code`.
Make missing proof-contract sections a review finding for P0-capable terminal/session/provider/startup/release surfaces. Reviewers should not accept "tests pass" as enough when the PR lacks a named invariant, perf budget, provider/platform matrix, or accepted-gap statement.
3. Update `brennan-test-changes`.
Require validation reports to say whether the relevant reliability gate command ran, whether the evidence proves the user-visible invariant, whether the test layer is sufficient, and whether any skipped SSH, WSL, Windows, remote-runtime, mobile, or live-Electron path is an accepted gap.
4. Update `playwright-reliability-tests`.
Add the live-terminal reliability bar directly: Playwright terminal tests must prove real input/output or visible degraded state, use deterministic event oracles instead of blind sleeps, record runtime/artifacts, and stay `experimental` until flake history supports promotion.
5. Update `perf`.
Add the PR Proof Contract's no-regression evidence language so perf reviewers require deterministic count tests or metric artifacts for polling, global session listing, provider fanout, hidden-pane wakeups, startup awaits, subprocess churn, output queue growth, and broad store subscriptions.
6. After the repo-side gate commands stabilize, update factory prompts to invoke exact gate ids and commands.
Do this after the PRs land or after their commands are stable enough to reference. Before then, the factory should require the gate class and evidence, but should not hard-code commands that may still split or rename during PR extraction.
Do not add a separate broad "terminal reliability reviewer" skill unless the existing skills fail to enforce this contract after these edits. Too many overlapping skills can make agents diffuse responsibility; the better shape is one terminal reliability contract plus required calls from design, review, perf, Playwright, and validation stages.
## Coverage Reality Check
This first stack is useful, but it must not be described as "terminal reliability is covered." The executable protection in this branch covers a deliberately small first slice of recent escaped classes:
- stale local/daemon liveness snapshots closing newer PTY bindings;
- provider-session replay ownership for several active, inactive, queued, pending, live, retained, same-session hook, and wrong-session hook records, with real hook timing through Electron still explicitly partial;
- targeted `hasPty` liveness after visibility resume instead of hot-path global `listSessions`;
- degraded daemon fallback fail-closed behavior for restored worktree-scoped and legacy/non-scoped ids;
- SSH provider listing/`hasPty` failures treated as unknown rather than destructive ownership evidence, plus mocked provider/renderer coverage for deferred SSH attach, passphrase cancellation, transient deferred reattach failure, and expired deferred relay fallback;
- remote replay coalescing, FIFO ordering, and bounded burst-tail coalescing at the renderer unit layer;
- visible geometry contract behavior for delayed split layout settle, 0x0 split-right recovery, applied-vs-requested `pty:getSize`, and resume-time size reassertion;
- boot-time local PTY registry hydration counters for repo/worktree enumeration, skipped SSH repos, adapter/session listing, registration/skips, duration, and failure phase;
- terminal lifecycle anomaly breadcrumbs recorded into renderer crash diagnostics with dedupe and compact identity fields;
- live local Electron PTY spawn, active PTY listed exactly once, focused xterm keyboard input, process-visible output, repeated workspace hide/restore of the same PTY, actual resize propagation, and exit cleanup.
Those gates should catch re-regressions in those classes, and the tests are intentionally deterministic. They mostly use renderer-unit, renderer-state, provider-contract, or fixture layers because those layers provide precise oracles with low flake risk. That is a strength for the classes they cover.
The manifest also contains commandless registered gaps for persisted-session upgrade fixtures, Windows ConPTY, startup color-query handling, and other future gates. Those entries are useful planning structure, not executable protection. Visible geometry convergence, xterm addon containment, IME/native text forwarding, runtime/mobile streams, and startup hydration counters now have first executable contract slices, but they remain `experimental` until they have repeatable CI/runtime history and red-green evidence. Output backpressure now has daemon stream and main pending-output contract slices, but the broader live perf budget remains experimental until it has repeatable metric artifacts, runtime history, and red-green evidence. The live local PTY gate now has a first executable Playwright slice that includes repeated workspace hide/restore of the same PTY, but it remains `experimental` until it has repeatable CI/runtime history and red-green evidence.
The critique that this stack is still shallow is fair. The current gates do not yet prove:
- tab-switch restore, scrollback after restore, app restart persistence, and non-local live providers;
- Windows ConPTY behavior, including shell resolution, cursor restore, rewrite repaint, CJK/IME edge cases, kitty/input protocol behavior, and activation hangs;
- terminal input latency, throughput, hidden-output pressure, renderer CPU, and store/subscriber hot paths under load;
- IME and synthetic input forwarding across macOS, Windows, Linux/fcitx/Sogou, Vietnamese, CJK, Arabic, paste, and modifier paths;
- focus recovery after browser/terminal handoffs, tab switches, app restart, and non-local provider restore;
- daemon degraded spawns, stale bootstrap, remote-runtime startup, SSH/WSL provider boundaries, and mirror polling;
- scrollback clearing/restoration correctness across hidden output, snapshot replay, and restore.
Those missing classes already appear in the full pain-points report, but this implementation plan should keep them visible so the first stack does not become false confidence.
## Fresh-Eyes Corrections
The follow-up reviews changed the plan in several concrete ways:
- Windows/IME/CJK are not covered by the current executable stack. Orca has useful unit coverage and product logic for local Windows ConPTY compatibility, including withholding Kitty keyboard protocol for local native Windows panes, but no live Windows ConPTY gate proves post-agent ordinary keys, shell parity, CJK repaint, cursor restore, resize readback, or real IME composition.
- SSH restore is better covered than the first manifest draft said, but only at store/provider/main/renderer contract layers. The current gate asserts deferred wake metadata, deferred attach/passphrase/expired-relay contracts, and unknown-liveness behavior with fake transports; it does not prove a live SSH relay, WSL, remote-runtime mirror polling, false-live visual state, or real network reconnect timing.
- Perf/backpressure is currently deterministic byte-accounting proof, not live responsiveness proof. The branch asserts daemon `write(false)`/`drain` behavior, cross-session drain priority for flush-immediate output, pure-backpressure cleanup, and main pending-output caps; it does not yet prove renderer parse pressure, event-loop delay, active key latency, or live hidden-output flood behavior.
- Daemon startup reconcile remains a mechanism, not a production-proven startup behavior. Either wire it with dry-run diagnostics and prior-worktree aliases, or keep it as an accepted gap with a named owner.
- Gate evidence is still too easy to hand-enter. The checker now prevents obvious metadata overclaims, but it does not prove the registered command was run in CI, preserve artifacts, or verify that each declared assertion executed. Add machine-checkable artifact/CI-run provenance before promoting gates to blocking.
- Manifest evidence in this worktree is not yet durable. Three referenced test files are untracked (`resource-manager-session-polling.test.ts`, `terminal-lifecycle-diagnostics.test.ts`, `tests/e2e/terminal-live-pty-liveness.spec.ts`) and roughly 39 more files carry uncommitted modifications. Until each slice is committed and pushed to its owning split branch, the manifest references proof that CI cannot run and that no one can reproduce from a ref.
- Fresh `origin/main` renamed `terminal-webgl-paste-recovery.{ts,test.ts}` to `terminal-webgl-atlas-recovery.{ts,test.ts}` and added `pane-webgl-context-recovery.test.ts` and `pane-webgl-renderer.test.ts` in #6949. The `xterm-addon.boundary-containment` gate and its documented command reference the old filename and will fail the checker after rebase; the gate should adopt the renamed and new tests during the rebase. #7133 (merged 2026-07-02) further modified `pane-webgl-renderer.{ts,test.ts}` and added `pane-reveal-repaint.{ts,test.ts}` and `terminal-visibility-resume.{ts,test.ts}`; the containment gate should evaluate those reveal-hardening tests for adoption in the same sweep. This is a confirmed instance of the stale-branch risk, and it shows the fresh-main review must include a mechanical testFiles-vs-main sweep, not only behavioral spot checks.
- This document itself drifted from the manifest it describes (a prior revision said 23 gates, 13 partial/10 none, while the manifest held 24 gates, 15 partial/9 none). Treat the manifest as authoritative and this document's counts as dated snapshots.
- The Resource Manager status segment no longer polls broad `pty:listSessions()` for its closed-popover badge in this branch. Broad session inventory is now scoped to the open Resource Manager and explicit kill/restart refresh paths; the no-hot-listing plan still needs status/diagnostic budgets and broader Electron counters before promotion.
- Boot-time local PTY registry hydration now exposes a debug snapshot and deterministic tests for retry state, SSH skip-before-worktree-enumeration, local registration counters, adapter/session listing counts, recoverable adapter-list failures, fatal hydration failures, router adapter fanout, duration, and large daemon lists. This is still only a startup-hydration counter slice; it does not prove focus, typing, tab switch, workspace switch, render, high-session provider fanout, or real Electron startup budgets.
- Terminal lifecycle anomaly diagnostics now record compact crash breadcrumbs in addition to console warnings. This is useful support evidence, not yet the full pane lifecycle trace buffer requested in the pain-points report.
## Fresh Main Architecture Findings
These findings came from focused reviews of current terminal lifecycle, renderer/input/perf, and provider/platform/startup code against freshly fetched `origin/main`. They are not all regressions introduced by the reliability-gate branch. They are the places the plan must cover before claiming broad terminal reliability.
Current coverage already exists in more places than the first gate stack showed:
- `terminal-dead-session-reconcile.test.ts`, `resume-sleeping-agent-session.test.ts`, and `pty-connection.test.ts` have substantial deterministic lifecycle coverage. A focused run of those files passed 292 tests.
- Existing E2E/perf tests include terminal typing latency, hidden TUI visual restore, long-table scroll restore, daemon slow-init PTY restore, SSH localhost, and terminal tab-switch SIGWINCH restore.
- Existing scripts include terminal perf report commands such as `test:e2e:terminal-perf`, `test:e2e:terminal-perf:scale`, `test:e2e:terminal-perf:scale:report`, and `test:e2e:terminal-perf:check-report`.
The problem is that these tests are not yet organized into reliability gates with named invariants, owners, maturity, runtime budgets, flake history, red/green evidence, and promotion rules. Some also need review before promotion because a useful regression test can still be too broad, too slow, or too flaky to be a blocking gate.
Local validation evidence from this review pass:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-dead-session-reconcile.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/resume-sleeping-agent-session.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-01: 3 test files passed, 292 tests passed, duration 6.04s. This asserts the current deterministic lifecycle/unit layer is healthy in this worktree; it does not prove the broader live/platform/provider/perf gaps.
The provider-session ownership gate now includes the queued/pending resume bridge from fresh `origin/main`: automatic resumes thread `resumeProviderSession` through `pendingStartupByTabId`, claim `automaticAgentResumeClaimsByTabId`, and treat pending startup, time-bounded runtime claims, and live agent statuses as provider-session ownership. The queued/pending claim scan is indexed once per activation so replay protection does not rescan every pending startup for every sleeping record. It also asserts live hook evidence claims only the matching provider session; a wrong-session hook cannot claim a replayed sleeping record; and stale automatic bridge claims cannot suppress recovery forever.
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/resume-sleeping-agent-session.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-01: 1 test file passed, 34 tests passed, duration 7.86s. This focused command asserts repeat activation or replayed sleeping records do not launch a second resume for the same provider session while the first resume is still pending, queued pending-startup provider-session ids are read once per activation rather than once per replayed record, a live hook for the same provider session owns the replay, and a wrong-session hook does not. It does not yet prove real hook timing through Electron or a full Electron workspace activation loop.
Structural manifest validation also passed locally:
```sh
pnpm run check:reliability-gates
```
Result on 2026-07-01 after the first expansion: reliability gate manifest check passed for 22 gates. This validated the manifest schema/metadata shape only; it did not prove that the registered commands covered the full terminal runtime.
After the broader architecture review and fresh-agent review, the manifest was expanded further, including a dedicated WSL restore contract instead of burying WSL under SSH/remote coverage, and later the three convergence/escape-detection gaps registered after the #7133/#7148 saga. As of 2026-07-03, main's manifest holds 27 gates split 9 `partial` (gates whose evidence exists on main itself, including the #7133/#7148/#7173/#7192 regression tests) and 18 `none`; the pending stack raises more gates to `partial` as its slices land. These counts are dated snapshots, and the manifest itself is authoritative. The new entries are intentionally `experimental`; a few now have first executable slices, while others are still commandless gap markers. They are not active protection until each gate gets an implemented command, red/green proof, runtime evidence, and promotion history.
The manifest checker now enforces the review lessons that were easy to miss manually:
- declared `testFiles` must exist;
- every declared executable `testFiles` entry must be referenced by at least one gate command, so a manifest cannot borrow credibility from a file the registered command does not run;
- command-backed gates cannot use title selectors such as `-t`, `--grep`, or `--testNamePattern`, because title drift silently changes coverage;
- every gate must declare `protection: none | partial | active`;
- commandless gates must declare `protection: "none"`, while command-backed gates must declare at least `protection: "partial"`;
- `protection: "active"` is reserved for blocking gates with stable flake history and complete red/green evidence;
- `partial` and `active` gates must include at least one passed structured `evidenceRuns` entry whose command exactly matches the gate command;
- `none` gates must have no evidence runs, so planning gaps cannot look like tested coverage;
- `partial` and `active` gates must include `assertionRefs` that point to declared test files and name the invariant assertions inside those files;
- `none` gates must have no assertion refs, so planning gaps cannot borrow credibility from unrelated tests;
- every gate must split risk scope from covered scope with `coveredPlatforms`, `coveredProviders`, and `coverageNotes`;
- `coveredPlatforms` and `coveredProviders` must be inside the declared risk scope, and passed evidence-run platforms must appear in `coveredPlatforms`;
- `soak` and `blocking` gates must have soaking/stable flake evidence and complete red/green evidence.
How to read the manifest:
- `platforms` and `providers` describe the affected risk scope for an invariant. They do not mean the current command exercises every listed platform/provider.
- `coveredPlatforms`, `coveredProviders`, and `coverageNotes` describe the scope actually covered by current evidence. Empty `coveredProviders` on a partial gate usually means renderer/state/RPC contract coverage, not a real provider run.
- `protection: "none"` means a registered gap only; `protection: "partial"` means useful executable coverage that is not blocking protection yet; `protection: "active"` means the gate is blocking and has stable evidence.
- `evidenceRuns` are factual run records: date, runner, platform, exact command, result, duration, and summary. A local passed run supports `partial` coverage; it does not imply CI stability or flake history.
- `assertionRefs` explain which assertion groups in the listed test files carry the gate. This is especially important for shared files like `pty-connection.test.ts`, where the whole file passing is not the same as the whole file being relevant.
- `oracle`, `redGreenEvidence`, and `knownGaps` are the authoritative source for what is actually proved today.
- Commandless `experimental` gates are registered gaps, not active protection.

The visible geometry gate now has its first deterministic renderer/main contract slice:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-size-reconcile.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/split-right-white-screen.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.test.ts \
src/main/ipc/pty.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 4 test files passed, 481 tests passed, duration 5.98s. This focused command asserts delayed hidden split-layout settles are forwarded instead of stopping on a fixed frame budget, unmeasurable frames do not count as settled, visible 0x0 split-right panes get a nonzero recovery size while hidden background 0x0 panes are not forced to desktop size, `pty:getSize` reports applied size when a provider can expose it, and visibility resume reasserts only real PTY/xterm drift without falling back to `listSessions`. It does not yet prove shell-visible `stty`, SSH/remote geometry, Windows ConPTY geometry/readback, or full Electron geometry under real split/tab/app-restart workflows.
The live local PTY gate now has its first executable Electron slice:
```sh
pnpm run ensure:electron-runtime && npx playwright test \
tests/e2e/terminal-live-pty-liveness.spec.ts \
--config tests/playwright.config.ts --project electron-headless --workers=1
```
Result on 2026-07-02 after adding two workspace hide/restore cycles, exact active-PTY listing, and actual resize convergence: 1 Playwright test passed, test body 8.6s, full command 58.6s including build/setup. This one local macOS run asserts a real Electron local terminal binds a PTY, lists the active PTY id exactly once, accepts keyboard input through focused xterm, renders process output markers, preserves the same PTY id through repeated worktree switch-away/switch-back cycles, accepts additional keyboard input after each restore, applies an actual `pty:getSize` change after viewport resize, reports the same process-visible size, exits the probe, exits the shell, and removes the PTY id from `pty:listSessions`. It does not yet prove tab switch within the same worktree, scrollback after restore, app restart persistence, daemon, SSH, WSL, remote-runtime, Linux CI stability, or Windows ConPTY behavior.
The IME/native-text gate now has its first deterministic renderer-unit slice:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-ime-native-text-forwarder.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-ime-input-source.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-paste-runtime.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 3 test files passed, 63 tests passed, duration 887ms. This registers existing native-text, input-source, and paste/runtime forwarding contracts as a reliability gate slice. It does not prove real OS IME automation, Windows ConPTY post-agent keyboard reset, Arabic/RTL, JIS-yen, or the full CJK/Vietnamese/platform matrix.
The xterm addon containment gate now has its first deterministic renderer-unit slice and product hardening for core addon load failures:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/pane-manager/pane-lifecycle.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/pane-manager/terminal-link-provider-guard.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-search-safe-find.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/pane-manager/pane-webgl-refresh-lifecycle.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-webgl-paste-recovery.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 5 test files passed, 39 tests passed, duration 370ms. This focused command asserts a core addon `loadAddon` throw is pane-scoped and later addons still load, link provider throws degrade to no-link results, search decoration positive-integer crashes return `false` instead of escaping, and WebGL attach/refresh/recovery failures stay contained. It does not yet prove typed PTY input/output survives a live addon failure in Electron, nor WebGL dispose/reset throws across active, hidden, and resumed panes.
The runtime/mobile stream budget gate now has its first deterministic runtime-RPC slice:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/main/runtime/rpc/terminal-subscribe-buffer.test.ts \
src/main/runtime/rpc/terminal-output-batching.test.ts \
src/main/runtime/rpc/terminal-multiplex.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 3 test files passed, 29 tests passed, duration 2.78s. The covered contracts assert mobile initial snapshots downgrade until they fit the 512KB budget, requested binary snapshots downgrade until they fit the 2MB budget, binary live output queued while the initial snapshot is serializing stays within 256KB while preserving the newest tail, large binary output is split into 48KB-or-smaller frames, output bursts are coalesced before emission, aborted subscribes do not register stale listeners, and stale mobile resize re-stream completions are dropped. It does not yet decide JSON subscribe fallback parity/deprecation.
The replay/scrollback gate now has its first executable slice:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 1 test file passed as part of the focused pty-connection validation, with 255 tests in that file. The relevant replay assertions cover four replay invariants: remote replay payloads that overlap before parsing starts intentionally coalesce to the latest payload, a replay whose xterm parsing has already started is not overwritten by a newer replay, multiple replay notifications accepted after parsing starts drain FIFO, and burst tails are bounded while keeping the newest snapshot. It does not yet prove fresh-main `clearBeforeReplay` metadata, metadata-only replay, or hidden-output/live-output interleaving.
The no-hot-`listSessions` gate now has its first executable slice and product hardening. The renderer/preload/main path exposes `pty.hasPty(id)` and uses targeted liveness on visibility resume and first input after resume, instead of calling global `pty:listSessions()` from that hot path. The resize-on-resume slice also asserts it uses targeted `getSize` plus `resize` rather than broad session listing. Light tab switches and visible active-state resume now assert they do not call `pty:listSessions`, `pty.hasPty`, or `pty.getSize`; a representative active-PTY case proves the scheduler hint `setActiveRendererPty` is the only allowed PTY API call there. Resource Manager broad session inventory is now scoped to the open popover instead of polling for its closed badge.
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-dead-session-reconcile.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/use-terminal-pane-lifecycle.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/status-bar/resource-manager-session-polling.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/use-terminal-pane-global-effects.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 5 test files passed, 321 tests passed, duration 6.34s. The focused no-hot command asserts visibility resume prefers targeted `hasPty` even when `listSessions` is available, first input after visibility resume calls targeted `hasPty` once, resize re-assertion after visibility resume uses `getSize`/`resize` without `listSessions`, light tab switches and visible active-state resume avoid `listSessions`/`hasPty`/`getSize` fanout while still allowing the active PTY scheduler hint, SSH/remote broad listing is skipped, Resource Manager broad session inventory polling is scoped to the open popover, panes close only on authoritative `false`, and unknown liveness keeps panes alive. It does not yet count raw focus, workspace switch, render, high-session typing, or real provider fanout in Electron.
The store/git hot-path gate now has its first boot-hydration counter slice. This is not broad interactive perf coverage; it is the narrow startup-adjacent part that previously had no measurable budget.
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/main/memory/hydrate-local-pty-registry.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 1 test file passed, 8 tests passed, duration 0.342s. The focused command asserts provider-unavailable hydration does not scan repos/worktrees/providers and remains retryable, SSH repos are skipped before worktree enumeration, local daemon sessions are registered with debug counters for repo/worktree/adapter/session/register/skip/duration fields, recoverable adapter-list failures are counted without failing the whole hydration pass, fatal hydration failures record failed phase and error message, router-backed hydration records multi-adapter fanout counts, pre-existing pid rows are not clobbered, and large daemon session lists hydrate without spreading into argument-limit failures. It does not yet count store recomputes, git status requests, provider listings, focus, typing, tab switch, workspace switch, render, or high-session Electron fanout.
The degraded-daemon provider contract now has its first executable slice and product hardening. Existing-session operations fail closed when ownership is unknown, and restored daemon session ids, including legacy/non-worktree-scoped ids, cannot silently spawn a local fallback PTY under the old id. Fresh degraded-mode PTY creation still intentionally routes through fallback when the caller marks it as new, and process inspection returns benign defaults for unknown ownership instead of leaking fail-closed routing errors into window-close flows.

```
Result on 2026-07-02: 3 test files passed, 107 tests passed, duration 2.54s. Focused provider validation asserts discovered daemon sessions route to the daemon, fresh degraded-mode PTYs route to fallback only when marked new, router spawn discovers uncached existing sessions before choosing an adapter, router spawn fails closed instead of falling through to current when legacy ownership cannot be listed or a known session has exited, targeted `hasPty` discovery caches legacy ownership before later operations, real daemon adapter `listProcesses()` discovery seeds targeted `hasPty` liveness, folder and floating terminal workspace ids survive startup reconcile when valid, restored worktree-scoped and legacy/non-scoped ids do not fall back through spawn after ownership is lost or unknown, unknown or exited existing ids fail closed for routing operations, startup reconcile can dry-run orphan detection without killing live daemon sessions, and process inspection returns benign defaults for unknown ownership. It does not yet prove production startup reconcile wiring, prior-worktree aliases, or real daemon process restart behavior.
The SSH/remote provider contract now has its first executable provider/main/renderer slice. Provider observation failures are treated as unknown instead of destructive evidence: a failed SSH `listProcesses()` call does not clear previously learned ownership, and a rejected SSH `hasPty()` probe returns unknown liveness (`null`) rather than dead. The focused renderer/provider tests also assert that saved SSH sessions reattach through relay `pty.attach`, expired relay attach does not silently fresh-spawn inside the provider, deferred passphrase cancellation does not auto-reconnect, saved leaf/tab session ids are used after connection, transient deferred reattach failure preserves the saved session id without clearing pane/tab bindings or fresh-spawning, deferred SSH no-result cleanup clears the pending serializer without consuming the saved restore id, and expired deferred relay state clears stale pane/tab bindings before one fresh replacement spawn.

Result on 2026-07-02: 4 test files passed, 546 tests passed, duration 6.48s. Focused validation asserts store wake-hint metadata for disconnected SSH relay ids, provider attach/expired-attach behavior, main-process ownership and targeted-liveness failure semantics including async provider rejection, mocked-renderer deferred SSH attach/transient-failure/expired-relay fallback, and deferred SSH no-result cleanup that clears the pending serializer without consuming the saved restore id. It does not yet prove WSL, remote-runtime mirror polling, a live SSH relay, pending-vs-attached UI status, or real network reconnect timing.
API-surface validation after adding `pty.hasPty(id)`:
```sh
pnpm run typecheck:node
pnpm run typecheck:web
```
Result on 2026-07-02: both typechecks passed.
The output-backpressure budget gate now has a deterministic provider/IPC/renderer slice:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/main/daemon/daemon-stream-data-batcher.test.ts \
src/main/ipc/pty.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 3 test files passed, 469 tests passed, duration 9.35s. The focused command asserts daemon socket `write(false)`/`drain` ordering, cross-session interactive output priority, pure-backpressure cleanup, bounded daemon queued bytes, main pending renderer caps, active pending-output protection, replay/backlog slices, and ACK-gated in-flight bounds. It does not yet prove live hidden-output floods, renderer parse pressure, event-loop delay, active key latency, or full Electron perf artifacts.
Combined focused terminal/provider validation:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \

```
Result on 2026-07-01: 8 test files passed, 625 tests passed, duration 6.55s. This was focused terminal/provider validation, not structural manifest validation.
Reliability manifest checker validation is separate:
```sh
pnpm run check:reliability-gates
```
Result on 2026-07-02: reliability gate manifest check passed for 27 gates. This validates the manifest shape and referenced files; it does not prove the registered commands cover the full terminal runtime.
The highest-risk architecture boundaries are:
- Terminal/session ownership is spread across tab PTY ids, leaf PTY ids, last-known relay ids, pending reconnect maps, deferred SSH maps, sleeping records, and provider ownership. The plan needs a derived ownership snapshot oracle for tests/logging so attach, reattach, exit, clear, hibernate, and restore can prove all authorities agree.
- Queued or pending provider sessions must count as owned. This branch now restores the pending startup and automatic resume claim bridge and covers same-session/wrong-session hook evidence, but real hook timing and repeat activation through Electron still need coverage. This is the class-level invariant motivated by #6800.
- Stale branch risk is real. The reliability branch previously lacked some protections present on fresh `origin/main`, including queued automatic agent resume claims and exact `hasPty` missing-session reconciliation. This branch has restored those two deterministic slices; the full stack still needs final rebase/retarget verification before landing.
- Main PTY ownership historically had convenient fallback behavior for unknown ownership. This branch now hardens daemon-router and degraded-provider paths so discovered legacy ownership is cached and unknown existing-session operations fail closed, but SSH/remote/diagnostic listing paths still need live coverage.
- Startup daemon reconciliation is present as a mechanism but not wired as production startup behavior. Without it, the daemon can still have a session while the adapter no longer knows it owns that session.
- Degraded daemon routing on fresh `origin/main` can fall back to local for unknown existing-looking sessions. This branch now hardens operation plus restored worktree-scoped and legacy/non-scoped spawn paths to fail closed and registers a focused provider contract, but startup reconcile, prior-worktree aliases, and real daemon restart behavior still need coverage.
- `pty:listSessions` both observes and mutates provider ownership. This branch now asserts failed SSH observation does not clear previously learned ownership and mocked deferred SSH attach/transient-failure/expired-relay fallback behaves correctly, but WSL, remote-runtime mirror polling, live SSH reconnect timing, and false-live tab behavior remain unproved.
- Resource Manager broad session inventory is now limited to popover-open and explicit management refreshes. It still needs a status/diagnostic budget proving open-popover polling is bounded with many providers and does not become a hot-path substitute.
- Boot hydration (`hydrateLocalPtyRegistryAtBoot`) is fire-and-forget, and this branch now records startup phase counters for repo/worktree enumeration, skipped remote repos, adapter/session listing, registrations/skips, duration, and failures. It can still create startup-adjacent git subprocess and daemon-listing churn across many local repos, so do not treat startup reliability as covered until those counters are budgeted in CI/runtime evidence.
- Deferred SSH restore intentionally marks a saved PTY id before actual attach. This branch now covers the mocked renderer contract for passphrase cancellation, attach after connection, transient attach failure preserving retry state, and expired relay fallback; remaining work is false-live visual state, live SSH relay timing, and duplicate-spawn prevention under real reconnect churn.
- Geometry truth is incomplete across SSH/remote paths. Requested size, renderer size, provider-applied size, shell-visible size, and the runtime mirror's parse dimensions must be separated instead of treated as interchangeable. #7192 proved the mirror can silently stay at birth dimensions while every other authority resizes, corrupting every later restore snapshot, and that mirror reflow must stay ordered with queued output writes.
- Production diagnostics are still incomplete. This branch now records compact crash breadcrumbs for explicit terminal lifecycle anomalies, but real user reports still need a bounded pane lifecycle trace for ordinary transitions and a diagnostics-bundle artifact proving those breadcrumbs/traces are included.
The lifecycle breadcrumb gate now has its first executable slice:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-lifecycle-diagnostics.test.ts
```
Result on 2026-07-02: 1 test file passed, 2 tests passed, duration 0.593s. The focused command asserts `warnTerminalLifecycleAnomaly` preserves its console warning, records a compact `terminal_lifecycle_anomaly` renderer crash breadcrumb with terminal identity/provider/PTY/reason fields, and dedupes repeated anomalies by lifecycle identity. It does not yet prove a full pane lifecycle trace buffer, diagnostics-bundle export, or forbidden-transition assertions across live Electron/provider flows.
Specific current-source evidence checked in this pass:
- Fresh `origin/main` has queued provider-session protections in `src/renderer/src/lib/resume-sleeping-agent-session.ts`: `resumeProviderSession`, `claimAutomaticAgentResume`, and `automaticAgentResumeClaimsByTabId`.
- Fresh `origin/main` has exact liveness reconciliation in `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-dead-session-reconcile.ts` and the `pty:hasPty` IPC handler in `src/main/ipc/pty.ts`.
- Fresh `origin/main` still uses a single `pendingReplayData` slot in `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.ts` (re-verified after #7133 merged; #7133 changed the same file's `applyMainBufferSnapshot` alt-screen restore path, not replay draining). This branch changes replay draining to coalesce snapshots before xterm parsing starts, queue accepted snapshots FIFO once parsing is in progress, and coalesce burst tails to the newest snapshot once the in-flight queue is full. The broader scrollback gate still needs metadata-only replay, `clearBeforeReplay`, and hidden/live-output interleaving coverage.
- Fresh `origin/main` still has `DaemonPtyAdapter.reconcileOnStartup` with the explicit note that it has no production caller yet. This branch adds a dry-run mode so future startup wiring can audit would-kill sessions before destructive cleanup, but production startup-persistence remains a real gap until wired with prior-worktree aliases or tracked as an accepted gap with a gate.
- Fresh `origin/main` still lets `DegradedDaemonPtyProvider.providerFor()` fall back to local when an existing-looking session id is unmapped and not rediscovered by `hasPty`. This branch changes existing-session operation paths and restored worktree-scoped plus legacy/non-scoped spawn paths to fail closed, adds contract tests, and makes real daemon adapter `listProcesses()` discovery seed targeted `hasPty` liveness. Startup reconcile wiring and live daemon-restart validation are still required before the full provider lifecycle is covered.
- Fresh `origin/main` let the daemon router spawn an unknown existing `sessionId` on the current daemon when routing cache/discovery missed its real owner. This branch now probes/discovers all adapters first, requires `isNewSession` for intentional replacement after an authoritative exit event, and fails closed if legacy ownership cannot be listed or the known id has exited, so a stale existing id cannot silently mint over another daemon's history on current.
- Fresh `origin/main` let canonical daemon-worktree restores treat a non-minted stale/local PTY id as restorable metadata. This branch now rejects non-minted restored ids when the workspace owner is canonical (`repo::path`, `folder:<id>`, or `global-floating-terminal`), clears the stale pane/tab binding, and fresh-spawns instead of calling daemon reattach or attaching that stale id. Shared parsing also recognizes folder and floating minted ids so startup reconcile does not falsely reap valid non-repo terminal sessions.
- Fresh `origin/main` still lets `pty:listSessions` rebuild provider ownership while SSH listing failures become empty lists. This branch adds store/main/provider/renderer contracts proving disconnected SSH relay ids are retained as deferred reconnect metadata and sidebar wake hints rather than attached PTY proof, failed SSH observation does not clear previously learned ownership, `hasPty` failure is unknown, saved SSH sessions attach through relay `pty.attach`, deferred passphrase cancellation does not auto-reconnect, transient deferred reattach failure preserves the saved session id, deferred SSH no-result cleanup clears pending serializer state without consuming retry metadata, and expired deferred relay state clears stale pane/tab bindings before one fresh replacement spawn. Live SSH, WSL, remote-runtime mirror polling, false-live visual state, and real reconnect timing remain unproved.
- Fresh `origin/main` has strong Windows/unit coverage around ConPTY packaging, shell resolution, size validation, keyboard reset, complex-script classification, and Windows PTY compatibility, but the real Windows Electron/ConPTY path is still not covered as a reliable PR gate.
- Fresh `origin/main` still exposes global `pty:listSessions`; this branch now also uses targeted `hasPty` for visibility/input liveness, but gates should keep typing, focus, tab switch, visibility resume, resize, and render paths from reintroducing broad daemon/provider listing.
- Fresh `origin/main` has main-to-renderer ACK/backpressure, renderer output-scheduler caps, terminal perf scripts, and a daily/manual terminal perf workflow. This branch adds daemon stream batcher assertions that socket `write(false)` pauses further stream events until `drain`, flush-immediate output from another session drains before unrelated background backlog, global cleanup clears clients that only have backpressured writes, and queued daemon stream bytes stay bounded by preserving priority output plus the newest tail under sustained pressure; it also caps main pending renderer output per PTY and in total, trims background pending output before active pending output under total pressure, and asserts `seq`/`rawLength` metadata stays correct for the surviving tail. Live hidden-output pressure, active input latency, and full Electron perf artifacts remain unproved.
- Fresh `origin/main` has binary runtime/mobile terminal stream caps, but the legacy JSON subscription path has weaker buffering/backpressure guarantees. Either gate both paths or explicitly deprecate/accept the JSON gap.
Existing E2E/perf tests that should be reviewed for promotion:
- `tests/e2e/daemon-slow-init-pty-gate.spec.ts`: strong daemon live-session restore signal; already has a tight user-visible invariant.
- `tests/e2e/daemon-live-session-preservation.spec.ts` and `tests/e2e/daemon-slow-health-check-preservation.spec.ts`: likely useful daemon liveness/preservation gates after oracle and flake review.
- `tests/e2e/terminal-typing-latency.spec.ts`, `tests/e2e/terminal-codex-local-typing-latency.spec.ts`, and `tests/e2e/terminal-history-size-typing-latency.spec.ts`: useful perf signals, but should be tied to stable budgets and artifacts before blocking promotion.
- `tests/e2e/terminal-output-scheduler.spec.ts`, `tests/e2e/artificial-opencode-terminal-load.spec.ts`, and hidden-pressure scenarios: useful for output/backpressure, but should become metric-gates rather than visual-only broad E2Es.
- `tests/e2e/terminal-hidden-tui-visual-restore.spec.ts`, `tests/e2e/terminal-document-visibility-webgl-recovery.spec.ts`, and `tests/e2e/terminal-tab-switch-visual-restore.spec.ts`: useful rendering recovery coverage; must keep deterministic text/buffer oracles and limit screenshots to diagnostics.
- `tests/e2e/terminal-long-table-scroll-restore.spec.ts` and `tests/e2e/terminal-raw-emoji-table-scroll-restore.spec.ts`: useful scrollback/rendering regression evidence, but they contain timed waits and should be reviewed before blocking promotion.
- `tests/e2e/ssh-localhost.spec.ts`, `tests/e2e/ssh-docker-relay-perf.spec.ts`, and SSH Codex replay/reconnect specs: useful SSH coverage, but should be separated into deterministic provider contracts plus a small number of environment-dependent live SSH soaks.
- `tests/e2e/terminal-windows-shell-paste-ownership.spec.ts` and Windows env/icon tests: useful Windows path coverage, but not a substitute for a Windows ConPTY live liveness gate.
Promotion split for existing E2Es:
- Promote after soak: a smaller derivative of `terminal-typing-latency.spec.ts` as the live local PTY input/output gate.
- Promote after soak: daemon preservation specs, especially slow-init and stale launch identity, as daemon warm-reattach gates.
- Promote targeted: paste ownership tests where the oracle is visible output plus exactly-one PTY write.
- Keep in soak/nightly: artificial OpenCode load, terminal scale perf report, hidden real-PTY pressure, and SSH Docker perf.
- Keep as release evidence: raw emoji/golden rendering, long-table rendering, WebGL recovery, and Codex/OpenCode artifact repros.
- Rewrite before blocking: column desync specs need resize-applied acknowledgement or an in-PTY `SIGWINCH` marker instead of post-resize sleeps.
- Rewrite before blocking: SSH Codex artifact repros and headful dead-terminal repros need deterministic fixtures/events instead of long waits and screenshots as primary proof.
The first live PTY gate is deliberately small:
- File: `tests/e2e/terminal-live-pty-liveness.spec.ts`.
- Command: `pnpm run ensure:electron-runtime && npx playwright test tests/e2e/terminal-live-pty-liveness.spec.ts --config tests/playwright.config.ts --project electron-headless --workers=1`.
- Invariant: a newly opened local terminal has one active PTY id listed exactly once, accepts real keyboard input through focused xterm, delivers process output visibly, keeps the same PTY id through repeated workspace hide/restore cycles, accepts input after restore, applies an actual size change, and exits without leaving a stale binding.
- Oracle: start a deterministic Node raw-mode probe, wait for `LIVE_PTY_READY_<runId>`, require the active PTY id to appear exactly once in `pty:listSessions`, type through `.xterm-helper-textarea`, require ordered per-key markers in serialized terminal content, switch to another worktree and back twice, require the active pane to keep the original PTY id, type again after each restore, resize and require `pty:getSize` to change plus a matching process-visible size marker, then exit the probe and shell and require the old PTY id to disappear from `pty:listSessions`.
- Wait rule: no blind sleeps. Wait only on PTY binding, active worktree changes, ready marker, key markers, resize marker, and list-session absence.
- Budget: target p95 under 75s on Linux including e2e build/setup, hard test timeout 90s. Start blocking on Linux only after soak; run macOS/Windows nightly until each platform has its own history.
- Failure artifacts: PTY id, provider classification, pid if available, size snapshots, key latencies, final `listSessions`, trace, and screenshot.
- Red/green proof: intentionally break xterm focus, PTY write forwarding, resize forwarding, and exit cleanup in separate local runs and confirm the gate fails for each class.
- Local run on 2026-07-02: 1 Playwright test passed in 58.6s total, with an 8.6s test body, on this macOS worktree. This is one green local run for the local live PTY path, not enough flake/runtime history for blocking promotion.
## Gate Coverage Matrix
This is the intended shape after rebasing the stack. The first two columns are what we have now; the last two are what must be added or promoted before the plan earns broader reliability claims.

| Hot interaction listing | Recent #7002 fix, targeted `hasPty` path, deterministic visibility/input/resize no-listing assertions, light tab/active-state resume no-provider-fanout assertions, and closed Resource Manager broad-listing avoidance | No count gate proving `pty:listSessions` stays out of raw focus/workspace-switch/render/high-session Electron scenarios; open Resource Manager polling still needs an explicit budget | Extend `terminal-performance.no-hot-list-sessions` |
| Daemon stream backpressure | Batching/chunking plus new batcher contract proof for `write(false)`/`drain`, cross-session flush-immediate drain priority, pure-backpressure cleanup, and bounded queued tails | No live hidden-output flood proof or active input latency artifact | Extend `terminal-performance.output-backpressure-budget` |

| IME and synthetic input | Input forwarding code and scattered coverage | No representative matrix or byte/cell oracle | Add `terminal-input.ime-and-synthetic-forwarding` |
| Daemon degraded/startup provider contract | Mechanisms exist; daemon slow-init E2E helps | Startup reconcile is unwired; degraded fallback needs fail-closed/probe proof | Add daemon degraded and startup reconcile contract gates |
| SSH/remote restore and mirror polling | SSH localhost and remote fixes exist; this branch has store/provider/main/renderer proof for deferred SSH wake metadata, SSH attach, listing failure, deferred attach, passphrase cancellation, transient deferred reattach failure, and expired deferred relay fallback | Remote mirror polling, live SSH relay behavior, false-live visual state, pending-vs-attached UI status, and real reconnect timing remain unproved | Add live SSH soak and remote mirror polling gates |
| WSL restore and launch identity | `terminal-provider.wsl-restore-contract` is now registered as a first-class gap | No WSL provider contract or live Windows WSL smoke yet proves cwd/path identity, startup command delivery, targeted liveness, or restore ownership | Add deterministic WSL provider contract, then one focused Windows WSL smoke |
| Scrollback/replay restore | Recent #7012 fix, long-table restore coverage, this branch's remote replay ordering proof, #7133's merged alt-only-clear tests, and #7173's merged ordered-seq interleaving and session-revival tests on main | Normal-buffer clear semantics and metadata-only replay still need deterministic lower-layer proof; the merged #7133/#7173 tests are unregistered until rebase | Add `terminal-output.scrollback-restore` as a dirty-state exactness contract, seeded with #7133's and #7173's tests |
| Renderer/mirror parser parity | #7148 (merged 2026-07-02) fixed the first known width divergence; its red-green width test exists on main | Parser configs can still drift silently on any axis besides widths; no parity gate command is registered | Add `terminal-mirror.parser-parity` built on the shared `terminal-unicode-provider.ts`/`pane-terminal-options.ts` seams |
| Post-restore convergence detection in production | Anomaly-breadcrumb machinery exists in this branch | Nothing measures renderer-vs-mirror divergence after real restores; #7133-class corruption stays silent until a user notices | Add `terminal-observability.restore-convergence-selfcheck` probe plus telemetry |
| Stale pixels after reveal (render-level) | #7133's reveal hardening and the live repro harness's refresh-repair oracle | Buffer oracles are blind to buffer-clean, pixels-stale variants by definition | Add `terminal-render.pixel-refresh-repair` to the release-blocking terminal-rendering-golden suite |
## Convergence Oracles And Escape Detection
The #7133 saga is the design input for this section. One user-visible symptom — stale terminal frames on worktree return — decomposed into five distinct mechanisms: the skipped alt-screen clear (#7133 primary fix), the WebGL render-model fossil (#7133 hardening), the daemon mirror unicode width divergence (#7148), the stale hidden-chunk ordering hole with seq-restart data loss (#7173), and desktop resizes never reaching the runtime mirror (#7192). None of the three was predictable in advance, and seventeen faithful fresh-window repro attempts missed the class because the bugs only exist in dirty, long-lived pane states. Mechanism-enumeration testing cannot catch this family. Layer-convergence assertion can.
Orca holds four copies of what a terminal shows: the PTY application's intended screen, the main-process headless mirror buffer, the renderer xterm buffer, and the WebGL-rendered pixels. Every bug in this family is two adjacent copies silently disagreeing. The strategy is two layers that map to the program's two goals — catching issues nobody predicted, and catching regressions to issues already fixed.
Catch novel escapes:
1. `terminal-observability.restore-convergence-selfcheck`: after every hidden-to-visible reveal settles — whether or not a restore was triggered — compare a bounded row-hash sample of the renderer buffer against the current main-mirror state; on mismatch, record a compact content-free `terminal_lifecycle_anomaly` breadcrumb (machinery already in this branch) and count it in telemetry. Per-reveal scope is load-bearing: #7173's frozen-output variant restores faithfully and then silently drops later hidden output, so a restore-scoped probe would never fire. This turns silent corruption into a measurable signal — #7133 and #7173 would have appeared in anomaly counts weeks before the user reports — and after each fix the anomaly rate is the in-production regression detector. Budget: one bounded comparison per reveal, no polling, no content capture beyond hashed row samples.
2. `terminal-render.pixel-refresh-repair`: the render-level variant is invisible to every buffer oracle by definition (buffer clean, pixels stale). The content-independent oracle: screenshot the revealed pane, force a full model-invalidating repaint, screenshot again; a material diff means something rendered stale, whatever the mechanism. Productize the existing live repro harness with this oracle plus a JS-level render-model-vs-buffer comparison, and land it in the release-blocking `terminal-rendering-golden` suite that `release-cut.yml` already runs against every release tag. Use nightly runs only as the interim phase to stabilize the per-platform diff threshold; golden-set membership is what makes "the next release does not ship this class" directly checkable.
3. Session-corpus replay: record real agent-session byte streams (a Claude run is exactly the #7133 shape — banner, prompt echo, final frame with blank regions) as fixtures and replay them through the hide/skip/restore machinery under the convergence oracles. Real corpora contain escape-sequence conjunctions nobody writes by hand. This is fixture strategy for the gates above, not a separate gate.
Catch regressions to known fixes:
4. `terminal-mirror.parser-parity`: feed identical byte corpora to the renderer xterm configuration and the main headless mirror and assert cell-identical buffers, with both parsers constructed from one shared configuration module. #7148's divergence (Unicode 11 + ZWJ in the renderer, default width tables in the mirror) existed since the mirror was born and was catchable by a millisecond-scale unit test; this gate also blocks the next one-sided config drift.
5. The dirty-state restore exactness contract as `terminal-output.scrollback-restore`'s command: apply snapshots onto adversarially dirty panes and assert the resulting buffer exactly equals the snapshot frame. Exactness is load-bearing — presence-of-marker oracles pass on merged frames. Seeded with #7133's merged alt-only-clear tests and #7148's positioned-overwrite width oracle.
6. Manifest registration of every escape: each fixed escape's red-green test becomes gate evidence, and per the Operating Rules the fix PR must also strengthen the relevant convergence oracle, so each escape permanently shrinks the space for the next one.
Seam placement is part of the design: convergence must be asserted at every adjacent pair of copies, not at one seam. #7192 proved this the hard way — a renderer-vs-mirror check is blind to corruption inside the mirror itself, because the restore is perfectly faithful to a corrupted source. That is why the geometry gate owns the runtime mirror's dimensions and reflow ordering as a first-class size authority, upstream of the seam this section's self-check watches.
The honest limit stands: this shrinks the escape space rather than zeroing it. The first four mechanisms in the saga are caught by items 1, 2, 4, and 5 without predicting any of them; the fifth (#7192) escaped every renderer-side oracle as originally specced and was closed by adding the mirror to the geometry authority list — evidence that the escape-driven loop (item 6) is not optional. The three new gates and the strengthened `terminal-output.scrollback-restore` entry are registered in the manifest as `protection: "none"` gaps, so the checker, factory reviews, and this plan cannot claim them as coverage before their commands exist.
## Immediate Fix Candidates
These are the concrete pieces to prioritize before declaring the plan implemented:
Three mechanical prerequisites gate everything below:
- Materialize the split: commit each working-tree slice to its owning branch per the file assignment in the PR Split Plan, reset the diverged child branches (#7004, #7005, #7006, #7008) from the worktree versions of their files, and push. Until then, every evidence run in this plan and in the manifest refers to unreproducible state.
- During the rebase, run the testFiles-vs-fresh-main audit and fix the confirmed #6949 WebGL rename by adopting `terminal-webgl-atlas-recovery.test.ts` and evaluating `pane-webgl-context-recovery.test.ts` and `pane-webgl-renderer.test.ts` for the containment gate.
- Open the aggregated non-blocking `reliability-gates` CI job so promotion evidence starts accruing with machine provenance.
1. Rebase or retarget the existing reliability PR stack onto fresh `origin/main`, then verify the stack still contains queued automatic resume claims and exact `hasPty` missing-session reconciliation. This branch has restored both deterministic slices, but final stack verification is still required.
2. Extend the provider-session ownership test from the current queued/pending, bounded-index, same-session hook, and wrong-session hook proof to a real Electron repeated-activation test, plus bounded-work assertions for any new hook/status scans.
3. Add or restore exact liveness tests: `hasPty(id) === false` tears down only the matching local PTY, while `true`, `null`, rejection, SSH/remote unknown states, and stale pre-bind responses do not close panes.
4. Add a small derived terminal ownership snapshot helper for tests and diagnostics. It should report whether each live PTY is represented once by the intended tab/leaf and absent from stale maps after attach, reattach, exit, clear, hibernate, and restore.
5. Keep the replay FIFO/burst fix and tests in the stack, rebased over #7133's alt-clear restore preamble in the same file. This branch now asserts that multiple replay notifications arriving during an async drain cannot overwrite one another, cannot reorder accepted replay snapshots, and cannot grow an unbounded replay queue under bursty snapshots; remaining replay work is normal-buffer clear semantics (alt-screen clear landed in #7133), metadata-only replay, and hidden/live-output interleaving.
6. Wire `DaemonPtyAdapter.reconcileOnStartup`, or explicitly create a provider-contract gate and accepted gap if wiring is not safe yet.
7. Keep the degraded daemon fail-closed contract in place and extend it to startup/restart coverage. This branch now prevents unknown existing ids from silently routing operation calls or restored worktree-scoped and legacy/non-scoped spawn calls to fallback; the remaining work is production startup reconcile, prior-worktree aliases, and live daemon-restart validation.
8. Keep the daemon-router targeted-discovery fix in place. This branch now caches ownership discovered by `hasPty()` before later write/resize-style operations and fails closed for operations on unknown existing session ids, preventing legacy-daemon sessions from silently routing to the current daemon.
9. Extend provider listing failure contract tests. This branch now asserts disconnected SSH relay ids are retained as deferred reconnect metadata and sidebar wake hints rather than attached PTY proof, a rejected SSH listing does not clear previously learned ownership, thrown SSH `hasPty` is unknown, provider expired attach does not silently fresh-spawn, deferred SSH passphrase cancellation does not reconnect, deferred attach uses saved session ids, transient deferred reattach failure preserves retry metadata instead of fresh-spawning, and expired deferred relay fallback clears stale pane/tab bindings before one fresh spawn. Remaining work is empty-but-ambiguous provider snapshots, WSL, remote-runtime mirror polling, live SSH relay timing, false-live visual state, pending-vs-attached UI status, and pane-close behavior.
10. Extend the new lifecycle anomaly breadcrumbs into a bounded structured lifecycle trace outside E2E-only mode for reattach, expired sessions, provider-list failure, unknown ownership, fallback routing, replay, and terminal input recovery.
11. Extend the hot-interaction listing count gate. The targeted `hasPty`, resize-on-resume, light tab/active-state resume, and closed Resource Manager polling slices are implemented; next it should prove `pty:listSessions()` calls are zero during raw focus, workspace switch, render, high-session Electron scenarios, and separately budget open status/diagnostic polling.
12. Add a cheaper Resource Manager session-status path or an explicit budget for open-popover `pty:listSessions()` polling. The closed-popover poll is removed, but the visible Resource Manager inventory still fans out to providers and mutates ownership, so it should have a measured ceiling.
13. Budget the new startup hydration counters for `hydrateLocalPtyRegistryAtBoot` in CI/runtime evidence, including repo/worktree enumeration count, git subprocess count proxy, daemon session-list duration, and confirmation that no startup-critical path awaits the scan.
14. Extend the output backpressure proof. The daemon stream batcher now pauses after `write(false)`, prioritizes flush-immediate output from another session ahead of unrelated background backlog on `drain`, clears pure-backpressure queues on global cleanup, bounds queued stream bytes, and resumes on `drain`; main pending renderer output is capped per PTY and in total. Next, hidden-output floods and active key latency need metric artifacts under the perf budget.
15. Add Windows platform gates rather than relying on Linux/macOS live PTY evidence: ConPTY liveness, keyboard reset, CJK repaint, shell resolution parity, and IME/native-text forwarding.
16. Decide whether the legacy JSON runtime terminal subscribe path is supported. If supported, gate its snapshot/live-output byte caps; if not, mark it as an accepted gap with a deprecation path.
17. Implement the dirty-state restore exactness contract as `terminal-output.scrollback-restore`'s first command, seeded with #7133's merged alt-only-clear tests and #7173's ordered-seq interleaving and session-revival tests: apply snapshots onto already-alt-screen panes with stale content in cells the new frame leaves blank, include revived sessions with restarted PTY seq counters in the dirty-state matrix, and assert exact buffer equality.
18. Implement the parser-parity seed during the rebase, now that #7148 has merged: register `headless-emulator-unicode-width.test.ts` plus a shared parser-construction assertion over `terminal-unicode-provider.ts` and `pane-terminal-options.ts` as `terminal-mirror.parser-parity`'s first command. The test file exists on fresh main but not at this branch's stale merge-base, so the command cannot be registered before the rebase.
19. Implement the per-reveal convergence self-check behind the existing anomaly-breadcrumb machinery — comparing the renderer buffer against current mirror state on every reveal, not only after restores, with a strict per-reveal budget and no content capture — and productize the stale-render repro harness into `terminal-render.pixel-refresh-repair` targeting the release-blocking terminal-rendering-golden suite.
20. Register #7192's merged mirror-geometry red tests as the mirror-authority slice of `terminal-geometry.visible-convergence` during the rebase, covering both accepted-resize fan-out to the runtime mirror and reflow-vs-queued-output ordering.
Next gates to add before claiming broad terminal reliability coverage:
1. `terminal-platform.live-pty-liveness`: first focused Electron/live-PTY slice is implemented for local Linux/macOS-style terminals. One local macOS run asserts bind, single active PTY listing, focus, keyboard input, PTY echo, repeated workspace hide/restore of the same PTY, post-restore input, actual size propagation, and exit cleanup. Follow up with scrollback-after-restore, tab switch, app restart, and non-local providers before broad live-terminal claims; keep it `experimental` until it has flake/runtime and red-green evidence.
2. `terminal-platform.windows-conpty-liveness`: Windows-specific gate for ConPTY spawn/activation, PowerShell resolution, cursor/rewrite repaint, CJK/IME bytes, and no stuck `stale_bootstrap`. Use lower-level provider contracts where possible and one focused Windows Electron smoke for the real ConPTY path.
3. `terminal-input.windows-conpty-keyboard-reset`: Windows local ConPTY gate proving Enter, Backspace, Arrow, paste, and ordinary shell submission behave normally after an agent or TUI exits. Oracle should include PTY input logs proving stale Kitty/CSI-u mode is not still applied to standard keys.
4. `terminal-render.windows-cjk-repaint`: Windows local ConPTY wide-glyph redraw gate. Oracle should combine xterm buffer/text evidence with screenshot/canvas/pixel evidence and a bounded refresh count.
5. `terminal-shell.windows-resolution-parity`: local and daemon providers must resolve equivalent shell path, args, cwd, env, startup command delivery, and fallback behavior for PowerShell 5/7, cmd, Git Bash, WSL, and missing `pwsh`.
6. `terminal-performance.input-throughput`: non-blocking perf gate for typing latency, hidden-output pressure, renderer CPU, terminal output throughput, resize churn, and store subscriber work. This should be metric-based, not screenshot-based.
7. `terminal-performance.no-hot-list-sessions`: deterministic count gate proving `pty:listSessions()` is not called from typing, focus, tab/workspace switch, visibility resume, resize, render, or per-pane liveness paths.
8. `terminal-performance.daemon-stream-backpressure`: provider/daemon contract gate proving daemon socket writes respect backpressure under output floods and do not starve active input.
9. `terminal-performance.output-backpressure-budget`: main-to-renderer ACK and renderer scheduler budget gate. Suggested ceilings: peak renderer in-flight bytes <=8MB total, <=512KB per PTY plus active reserve, renderer queued chars <=2MB, dropped renderer backlogs 0 in normal perf scenarios, and hidden restore <=1000ms.
10. `terminal-runtime.mobile-stream-budget`: runtime/mobile stream gate proving binary terminal snapshots stay <=512KB mobile or <=2MB requested, live pending output stays <=256KB while snapshot loads, chunks stay <=48KB, and batches stay <=64KB.
11. `terminal-input.ime-and-synthetic-forwarding`: representative IME/input matrix with deterministic byte/cell oracles at the lowest reliable layer, plus platform-specific manual/soak coverage where real IMEs are required.
12. `terminal-provider.remote-daemon-contract`: provider contract for daemon degraded spawn, SSH/remote unknown liveness, mirror polling, reconnect, and path/cwd authority.
13. `terminal-provider.wsl-restore-contract`: Windows WSL provider contract proving host/guest cwd identity, shell launch args, startup command delivery, targeted liveness semantics, and restore ownership, followed by one focused live WSL smoke.
14. `terminal-output.scrollback-restore`: deterministic scrollback/snapshot/replay gate for hidden output, restore, clearing, and no cross-tab or stale-output overlap. Seed it with #7133's merged assertions — the alt-only clear preamble written before alt-screen snapshot data (and no `3J`) in `pty-connection.test.ts`, plus the reveal-repaint ordering tests — then extend to normal-buffer clear semantics, metadata-only replay, and hidden/live-output interleaving. #7133's buffer-merge escape (pre-hide frame bleeding through blank cells) is the motivating regression for this gate.
15. `terminal-capability.startup-color-query`: startup OSC 10/11 replies are answered out of band at startup only, do not leak into shell/renderer streams, and ordinary OSC color queries remain renderer-handled.
16. `terminal-mirror.parser-parity`: renderer xterm and the main headless mirror parse identical byte corpora into cell-identical buffers, with both parsers constructed from one shared configuration module. Seed with #7148's merged width test (`headless-emulator-unicode-width.test.ts`) plus a shared-construction assertion over `terminal-unicode-provider.ts` and `pane-terminal-options.ts`; extend with recorded agent-session corpora.
17. `terminal-observability.restore-convergence-selfcheck`: production per-reveal probe comparing a bounded row-hash sample of the renderer buffer against current main-mirror state — on every reveal, not only after restores, because #7173's frozen-output variant never triggers another restore — recording deduped content-free anomaly breadcrumbs and telemetry counts. This is the in-production escape detector for the whole restore family; corruption upstream of the mirror itself is owned by the geometry gate.
18. `terminal-render.pixel-refresh-repair`: content-independent refresh-repair oracle (screenshot, force a model-invalidating repaint, screenshot, bounded diff) plus a render-model-vs-buffer comparison, productized from the existing stale-render repro harness into the release-blocking `terminal-rendering-golden` suite; nightly runs only until the diff threshold is stable.
Specific near-term hardening before promotion:
- #7008 now includes a bounded queued-claim assertion plus same-session and wrong-session hook cases for provider-session ownership checks. It should still be followed by a real Electron repeated-activation proof and any additional bounded-work assertions if hook/status ownership scans grow.
- Each gate PR should keep its residual gaps in the PR description and manifest until a real follow-up gate removes them. Do not let a green lower-layer gate imply live Electron, SSH, WSL, Windows ConPTY, or IME coverage.
Promotion rule for these additions is unchanged: do not make any of them blocking until they have red/green proof, stable runtime history, zero unexplained flakes in the promotion window, a clear owner, and a demotion rule. A non-blocking gate is useful evidence and documentation; it becomes protection only after promotion criteria are met.
## Goal
Prevent the recent terminal, tab, session, startup, provider, and performance regressions from escaping again by turning each high-risk reliability class into a small executable gate with explicit maturity, owner, runtime budget, flake history, and promotion evidence.
This plan is broad in scope but staged in rollout. The first milestone exercises the operating model end to end; later milestones add live Electron, Windows ConPTY, SSH/remote, daemon, IME, scrollback, and performance gates without turning the suite into noisy sprawl.
## Operating Rules
- Add gates only when they protect a named invariant tied to a real issue, PR, or accepted gap.
- Prefer deterministic unit or provider-contract tests over Electron UI tests when the lower layer proves the user-visible invariant.
- Never promote a gate to blocking until it has red/green evidence, stable runtime evidence, and a named demotion rule.
- Keep stress/torture runs non-blocking unless they have deterministic oracles and flake history.
- Include a performance or crash-safety budget whenever the protected change touches terminal throughput, hidden panes, persistence, startup, polling, subprocesses, git/worktree scans, SSH, WSL, or Windows paths.
- Restore, replay, reattach, and snapshot gates must start from adversarially dirty initial states — already-alt-screen panes, stale content occupying cells the new frame leaves blank, scrollback present, wide/emoji glyphs — never only fresh terminals. Fresh-state-only testing is why the #7133 class survived seventeen faithful repro attempts.
- Restore and replay oracles must assert frame exactness or stale-content absence. Marker-presence oracles pass on merged frames and are not acceptable correctness evidence for restore paths.
- Every escaped terminal bug's fix PR must ship both the narrow mechanism regression test and a strengthening of the relevant convergence oracle (parser parity, restore exactness, convergence self-check, or pixel refresh-repair), so each escape permanently shrinks the space for the next one.
## Milestone 1
Milestone 1 creates the reliability-gate loop with the two highest-leverage escaped classes:
1. `terminal-session.snapshot-freshness`
A stale local/daemon liveness snapshot cannot close a newer PTY binding.
2. `agent-session.provider-ownership`
Workspace activation, restore, sleep, hibernate, dedupe, clearing, or reconnect code cannot replay or resume a provider session already owned, queued, pending, or live in the workspace.
Both gates already have targeted tests in the repo. Milestone 1 makes them reviewable factory artifacts by registering their invariant, command, owner, maturity, known gaps, and promotion criteria in `config/reliability-gates.jsonc`.
## First Commands
Run the structural manifest check:
```sh
pnpm run check:reliability-gates
```
Run the first two gate tests:
```sh
pnpm exec vitest run --config config/vitest.config.ts \
src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-dead-session-reconcile.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/resume-sleeping-agent-session.test.ts
```
Run the existing terminal perf report gate before promoting terminal lifecycle gates to blocking:
```sh
pnpm run test:e2e:terminal-perf:scale:report
```
## Promotion Criteria
A gate can move from `experimental` to `soak` when:
- it is registered in the manifest;
- it has a deterministic oracle with no blind sleeps;
- it has a cheap command that can run repeatedly;
- it names the failure artifact reviewers should inspect;
- it has a clear owner and demotion rule.
A gate can move from `soak` to `blocking` when:
- it has red/green evidence against the old behavior, a regression fixture, or an intentionally broken variant;
- it has at least 100 consecutive passing soak runs or 14 days of required-platform CI history, whichever is more appropriate for the gate;
- that history comes from the aggregated `reliability-gates` CI job with machine-recorded results (see Evidence Provenance And CI Wiring), not from hand-entered local runs;
- p95 runtime is within the manifest budget;
- there are zero unexplained flakes in the promotion window;
- any required perf/git-crash budget has measured evidence.
For visual and live release-assurance gates, `blocking` means membership in the release-blocking `terminal-rendering-golden` suite that `release-cut.yml` runs against every release tag — the existing golden rail, not a new checkpoint mechanism, and never PR-blocking. Deterministic unit and contract gates stay on the PR path, where catching a regression is strictly cheaper than catching it at release time.
The manifest also allows `accepted-gap` for explicitly deferred reliability work with a named owner and `deprecated` for gates superseded by a stronger invariant or removed product surface. Those levels should stay visible in the manifest so factory review can distinguish intentional gaps from missing coverage.
## Factory Contract
`brennan-yolo-lite`, `review-code`, `perf`, and `git-crash-perf` should treat the manifest as the source of truth.
For any PR touching a P0-capable surface, the agent or reviewer should:
- identify the touched reliability class;
- name the matching manifest gate or accepted gap;
- run the gate command or explain why it does not apply;
- require a new manifest entry when the PR introduces a new reliability class;
- invoke `perf` or `git-crash-perf` when the touched surface matches their risk scope.
## Evidence Provenance And CI Wiring
Hand-entered evidence is the weakest link in this plan: the checker validates metadata shape, but nothing yet proves a registered command actually ran against the code it claims to cover. Reliability gates become protection only when they run automatically, against pushed commits, with recorded history. Requirements:
1. Every `evidenceRuns` entry must record the pushed commit SHA it ran against. A run against uncommitted working-tree state is a development note, not promotion evidence; it must be re-run and re-recorded once the owning PR's branch is pushed. All evidence runs currently in the manifest predate the split and must be refreshed this way.
2. Add one aggregated non-blocking `reliability-gates` CI job that runs `check:reliability-gates` plus every command-backed gate command, and uploads a machine-readable per-gate result artifact (gate id, command, result, duration, commit SHA, runner platform). Run it nightly and on PRs that touch terminal/session/provider/startup paths. Because every gate command except the live Playwright slice is a focused vitest run measured in seconds (a combined run of all 28 unit-layer gate test files completed in 10.2s with 928 tests on 2026-07-02), the job's cost is dominated by setup, not by gate count.
3. Promotion to `active`/blocking requires history from that CI job — the 100-consecutive-run or 14-day criteria in Promotion Criteria — not local runs. Flakes recorded by the job must be triaged before the affected gate can be promoted, and an unexplained flake on an `active` gate is the demotion signal.
4. Checker follow-up: once the CI artifact exists, extend the checker so `active` gates require at least one CI-provenance evidence run, and so evidence-run commit SHAs are verified to be ancestors of the branch under check.
5. Rebase audit: before any merge claim, mechanically verify every declared `testFiles` entry exists on fresh `origin/main` (or on the rebased tree) rather than trusting memory. The #6949 WebGL rename is the standing example of why.
## Milestone 2
After Milestone 1 works, add the next three gates as experimental entries with deterministic harnesses:
- `terminal-geometry.visible-convergence`
- `xterm-addon.boundary-containment`
- `startup-upgrade.persisted-session-corpus`
These should not become blocking until the team has red/green, runtime, and flake evidence. The goal is fewer useful gates, not a larger noisy suite.
## Milestone 3
Milestone 3 is where the plan stops being only a lower-layer regression net and starts exercising the real terminal runtime:
- Register existing terminal perf and E2E tests as experimental manifest gates only after reviewing their oracles, waits, artifacts, and flake history.
- Add the live local PTY gate with a tight oracle: spawn a shell, print a unique token, switch hidden-visible, assert the same PTY/session id, verify visible buffer content, type again, and prove no duplicate tab or blank pane appeared.
- Add Windows ConPTY coverage on Windows CI for echo, resize/readback, cursor visibility, CJK/emoji output, keyboard reset, shell resolution parity, and activation after restore.
- Add daemon degraded/startup reconcile contracts before relying on daemon fallback behavior.
- Add live SSH, WSL, remote-runtime mirror polling, and provider-listing edge contracts before treating remote/SSH restore as broadly covered; the current mocked SSH deferred-reattach and expired-relay tests are useful lower-layer proof, not live remote coverage.
- Add perf gates with explicit budgets for input latency, event-loop delay, hidden-output pressure, daemon stream backpressure, no hot `listSessions`, pending bytes, renderer ACK behavior, store hot paths, and runtime/mobile stream byte caps.
- Add IME/synthetic-input coverage at the lowest deterministic layer, with platform-specific manual or soak coverage only where real IMEs are required.
Milestone 3 gates should begin as `experimental`. They become `soak` only when the command is stable enough to run repeatedly and the failure artifact tells an engineer exactly what broke. They become `blocking` only after the promotion criteria above are satisfied.

# Reliability Pain Points and Improvement Plan
Date: 2026-06-30
## Scope
This note summarizes the recent reliability review across:
- Recently merged reliability PRs, especially terminal/tab/startup/session work from 2026-06-26 through 2026-06-30.
- GitHub issues labeled `P0` and `P1`.
- Local git history for authorship when issue text or PR bodies named a regressing change.
The goal is to identify where Orca is hurting, what engineering improvements would reduce repeat incidents, and what can fairly be said about attribution.
## Issue Snapshot
At the time of review:
- Open `P0`: 9
- Total `P0`: 14
- Open `P1`: 191
- Open `P1` split: 90 bugs, 86 enhancements, 15 other
Last seven days reviewed: 2026-06-23 through 2026-06-30.
- Merged PRs in the window: 386
- `P0` issues created in the window: 8
- `P1` issues created in the window: 83
The last-seven-day issue set is the strongest signal for the current pain. It includes the new-tab autoclose `P0`, Windows terminal activation hangs, renderer CPU/input lag, Windows startup visibility failure, Codex config corruption on Windows, a large terminal/IME/rendering cluster, WSL/remote/provider drift, and agent/sidebar/session identity drift.

## Last-Seven-Day Regression Origin Map
This section maps recent regressions to the place where the system failed, and to the gate that should catch the same class next time.

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [#6773](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6773) | New terminal/agent tab opens and closes immediately | Dead-session reconciliation could treat a fresh PTY binding as absent from a stale `listSessions()` snapshot. This likely traces to the local dead-session reconcile path introduced for hidden exited panes in [#6514](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6514). | [#6796](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6796), [#6801](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6801) | Newborn terminal lifecycle test: create shell and agent tabs while liveness reconciliation is in flight; assert the tab cannot be closed by an older snapshot. |
| [#5356](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/5356) | First launch after upgrade loses active floating/agent terminal sessions | Cold-restore relied on state that only versions after the fix could write, so users upgrading from pre-fix versions had no migration source.

| [#6233](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6233) | Windows process runs but no window appears | Startup window reveal depended on Electron `ready-to-show`; if that event stalled, there was no fallback reveal or user-visible failure. | [#6462](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6462) | Startup watchdog test: simulate missing `ready-to-show` on Windows and assert the app either reveals or exits with a clear recovery path. |
| [#6163](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6163) | Orca-managed Codex `config.toml` fails with duplicate `hooks.state` keys on Windows | Two TOML writers serialized the same Windows path key differently, and Orca deduped textually rather than by decoded key. | [#6318](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6318), follow-up [#6388](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6388) bug-scan fix | Cross-writer config round-trip test: seed config with Codex-written literal Windows paths, run Orca hook sync twice, then parse with a TOML parser and assert one decoded key. |
| [#6244](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6244) | Headless-launched automation terminal showed only a bash prompt until unmount/remount | Hidden/background automation worktrees were not mounted early enough for output/replay to hydrate on first view. | [#6568](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6568) | Headless automation mount test: launch background automation, wait for output, first-focus the tab, and assert output is already visible. |
| [#6331](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6331) | WSL workspaces with UNC cwd hit `DaemonProtocolError` | Windows/WSL path handling crossed provider boundaries and daemon spawn assumptions. | [#6536](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6536) | WSL UNC provider contract: add/open/delete workspace whose root is `\\wsl.localhost\...`; assert daemon and file operations use the right host/path semantics. |

| [#5161](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/5161) | PowerShell terminal failed to spawn with Windows error code 5 | Windows shell resolver handed ConPTY a bare `pwsh.exe`, which could resolve to an App Execution Alias stub. | [#6537](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6537), [#6876](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6876) | Windows shell resolution contract: auto and explicit PowerShell selections must resolve to real executables and skip WindowsApps aliases. |
| [#6270](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6270) | Restoring agent sessions was not working for SSH/runtime use cases | Resume logic and runtime host restrictions did not cover SSH workspaces. | [#6685](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6685) | Agent resume provider matrix: local, daemon, SSH, remote runtime, Windows shell; assert resume command is queued on the configured host/provider. |
| [#6852](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6852) / [#6872](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6872) | Terminal search could crash terminal surface on narrow viewports | xterm search decorations received invalid dimensions and threw through the terminal surface. | [#6852](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6852), [#6872](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6872) | xterm addon safety test: narrow viewport, zero/near-zero columns, wrapped matches, keyboard next/previous; assert addon errors are caught and pane remains usable. |
| [#6855](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6855) | xterm web-link provider `RangeError` could kill the Windows renderer | Link provider ran synchronously inside xterm with no guard around pathological wrapped lines. | [#6855](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6855) | Addon boundary policy: all xterm addon callbacks are guarded and failure disables only that addon for that pane. |
| [#6853](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6853) | Split-right PTY stayed at `0x0` and rendered a white screen | Deferred spawn measured an unlaid-out pane; post-spawn reconcile could terminate before forwarding a usable size. | [#6853](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6853) | Split spawn invariant: visible panes must never keep PTY size `0x0`; fallback size must be forwarded if measurement is unavailable. |
The repeated pattern is not one person repeatedly making the same mistake. It is that Orca does not yet have enough executable contracts around lifecycle, provider boundaries, terminal sizing, xterm safety, platform shell behavior, and upgrade state.
## PR Process Evidence
Reading the PR descriptions for the confirmed or likely regression chains shows that the failure was usually not "no process." The failure was that the process accepted plausible local validation without requiring the invariant that would have protected the escaped user path.
### #6514: Dead-Session Reconcile Introduced a Newborn-Tab Hazard
[PR #6514](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6514) was a Brennan-authored reliability fix for frozen terminal panes after a backgrounded agent exits. The PR body shows a substantial process: design review, completeness verification, headline behavior status, perf audit, code-review loop, Electron validation, and targeted unit tests. The stated non-goal explicitly excluded SSH/remote reconciliation, and the implementation revalidated pane/PTY identity at apply time.
What still got through:
- The PR protected "stale dead pane should close" but did not name the dual invariant "a fresh or newly bound pane cannot be closed by a liveness snapshot requested before that binding existed."
- The tests covered live/dead/remote/idempotency paths, but not the TOCTOU case where `listSessions()` is requested, a new PTY binds before the response returns, and the stale response omits the newborn id.
- Reviewers accepted "healthy panes are untouched" as a semantic claim, but the executable gate did not prove that claim under delayed session enumeration.
Skill implication:
- `brennan-yolo-lite`, `auto-design-review-fix`, `review-code`, and `brennan-test-changes` all need to force lifecycle changes to state the inverse safety property, not only the intended cleanup behavior.
- For terminal lifecycle changes, the review checklist should ask "what newer state can this async observation accidentally destroy?"
### #5234 and #5240: Session-Restore Fixes Missed Old-Version Upgrade Fixtures
[PR #5234](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/5234) and [PR #5240](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/5240) were Jinwoo-authored fixes for slow-startup daemon PTY restoration and quit-time agent session persistence. Their PR descriptions show AI review, negative controls, targeted tests, and high-quality e2e coverage against the newly modeled behavior.
What still got through:
- The tests proved the new behavior once the new data and startup gates existed.
- They did not appear to boot the current app against serialized persisted state from the affected production versions before the fix.
- The escaped class is an upgrade/migration class: a fix can be correct for state written after the fix while still losing users who upgrade from state written before it.
Skill implication:
- Startup, restore, daemon, and persistence PRs need an "old state corpus" gate: seed data from the last affected production version, not only state produced by current code.
- Negative controls should include "old production fixture fails before fix and is preserved after fix" when the bug is upgrade-related.
### #1344: GPU Rendering Parity Missed Linux Wayland Input Failure
[PR #1344](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/1344) replaced global GPU opt-ins with VS Code-style GPU startup flags and terminal GPU acceleration settings. The PR description cites reference behavior and local tests, but it does not show the later, stricter Brennan PR process markers used in the June reliability fixes.
What still got through:
- The change removed or bypassed the Wayland-aware GPU safeguard later identified by [PR #6557](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6557).
- Validation covered configuration and pane lifecycle tests, but not a Linux Wayland terminal input smoke where rendering appears live while keyboard/scroll input is wedged.
- One TypeScript command was reported as failing on existing project-include issues, which made the PR less clean as a release-risk artifact.
Skill implication:
- Cross-platform rendering/startup changes need an explicit platform matrix tied to the failure mode: not just "renders," but "renders and accepts input."
- Reference implementations are useful context, but factory review must still require Orca-specific platform hazards to be named and tested or accepted.
### Regression Lessons From Fresh Review
Fresh reviewer passes on the recent regression chains pointed to these reusable misses. These are class-level gates, not new blame findings.
- [#6514](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6514) -> [#6773](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6773), fixed by [#6796](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6796) and [#6801](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6801): the original PR correctly proved the forward cleanup case, where a hidden local/daemon PTY exits and should reconcile on resume while live listed panes survive. The missed invariant was the inverse lifecycle property: a destructive liveness snapshot can only close state that existed before the snapshot was requested. The escaped path was a macOS local new shell or agent tab where `listSessions()` was requested, a new PTY bound before the response returned, the stale response omitted the newborn id, and the renderer routed the healthy binding through exit teardown. The next gate is a Terminal Snapshot Freshness and Ownership Gate: a fake daemon holds `listSessions()` at `t0`, binds a newborn PTY at `t1`, resolves the stale `t0` snapshot without that PTY, and asserts the tab/pane survives, still owns the same PTY, accepts input, and renders output. A later post-bind snapshot may close a genuinely dead PTY, but only when provider, pane, PTY id, and binding epoch still match.
- [#6800](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6800), with [#5240](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/5240), [#6411](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6411), [#6514](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6514), and [#6833](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6833) as related context: the original fix correctly proved that active worktree-sleep records should not be claimed merely because old tab/layout state exists; visible connecting panes with restorable identity can own wake, stale hidden panes fresh-resume, and completed hibernation evidence stays passive. The missed invariant was provider-session ownership, not "pane connects now." For each provider-session claim key, exactly one durable owner must exist: a live hook/status for that same provider session, a queued/sent resume command for that same provider session, or an explicit retained record because spawn/connect failed. Layout match, PTY wake hints, replayed terminal bytes, and cold-restored screen snapshots are display evidence, not ownership evidence. The next gate is an Agent Provider Session Ownership Matrix covering active focused tabs, inactive tabs, visible non-focused splits, live/quit/worktree-sleep origins, replay-only/cold-restore-only/wrong-session/no-hook/delayed-hook cases, and repeated workspace activation.
- [#5234](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/5234) / [#5240](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/5240) -> [#5356](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/5356): the original PRs correctly proved slow-daemon restoration and newly written quit-origin provider-session persistence. The missed invariant was first-open-after-upgrade compatibility: startup/restore fixes must preserve or explicitly recover user sessions from the last affected production persisted-state schema, not only from state written by the fixed build. The escaped path was first launch after a 1.4.65 -> 1.4.68 upgrade, including Windows 10 active floating shell and Claude panes, where the old version had no `sleepingAgentSessionsByPaneKey` payload to consume. The next gate is a Persisted Session Upgrade/Restore Contract: boot current Orca against immutable user-data fixtures from the last affected version, including active and inactive tabs, visible and hidden splits, old tab-level PTY wake hints, missing `sleepingAgentSessionsByPaneKey`, live/quit/worktree-sleep/legacy origins, repeat activation, and a second restart after current code writes upgraded state. The oracle rejects blank replacement panes, duplicate resume tabs, silent session loss, and "works only after current code writes new state."
- [#1344](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/1344) -> [#5319](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/5319) / [#6557](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6557): the original PR correctly attempted to replace broad GPU opt-ins with VS Code-style GPU channel flags and prove terminal GPU/WebGL fallback at unit level. The missed invariant was terminal platform liveness, not visual readiness. A terminal is healthy only if it renders output, receives focus, delivers keyboard input to the correct PTY, echoes process output back to the xterm buffer, scrolls, and survives GPU/renderer startup on the target platform. The next gate is a Terminal Platform Liveness Gate across Linux Wayland GPU paths, headless Weston plus at least one scheduled/manual headful Wayland run, control Linux/macOS/Windows paths when renderer policy is shared, active and inactive tabs, visible and hidden panes, first mount, tab switch, repeated workspace activation, local PTY, and SSH/remote PTY. Screenshots alone never pass.
- [#6644](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6644) / [#6649](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6649) / [#6725](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6725) / [#6785](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6785) / [#6794](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6794) / [#6853](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6853) / [#6939](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6939): the fixes correctly proved pieces of the PTY geometry class: first-mount column desync, single-frame insufficiency, split-mount convergence, requested-size versus applied-size drift, mobile-owned PTY exceptions, visible split `0x0` fallback, and visible geometry reassertion after stable fit. The missed invariant was cross-layer terminal geometry authority. A visible desktop-owned terminal is not valid until xterm `cols/rows`, fit/proposed dimensions, applied PTY winsize, shell-visible `stty`/`stdout.columns`, and echo-wrap behavior converge after layout settles. Hidden/inactive panes may defer resize, and mobile/remote providers may intentionally diverge, but every transition into visible desktop ownership must converge. The next gate is a terminal geometry matrix with fault injection for first `0x0` fit, delayed layout settle, dropped/delayed resize acknowledgement, requested-size-versus-applied-size drift, SSH-style unknown applied size, hidden-to-visible activation, split create/collapse, restore, repeated workspace activation, and no redundant hidden SIGWINCH.
- [#6852](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6852) / [#6872](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6872) / [#6855](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6855), with [#6868](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6868), [#6856](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6856), and [#6857](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6857) as nearby WebGL/renderer-risk hardening: the fixes correctly moved toward safe wrappers for search dimensions, keyboard search navigation, link providers, WebGL addon patches, and renderer/GPU crash fallback. The missed invariant was xterm addon boundary containment. Optional addons are untrusted boundary code: search decorations, link providers, WebGL attach/reset/dispose, renderer fallback, hover callbacks, and stale async callbacks must not throw across the pane, React, or window boundary. The next gate is an xterm-addon-boundary harness that injects throwing addon behavior under active tabs, inactive tabs, visible and hidden splits, hidden-to-visible resume, floating tab switch, repeated workspace activation, and pane destroy/recreate; the oracle is pane-scoped addon disable/degrade with one breadcrumb, no React/window crash, and surviving focus, input, PTY echo, and rendering.
Concrete gate shapes from the fresh passes:
- **Snapshot freshness harness**: defer and reorder `listSessions()` / `listTerminals()` responses. Request a snapshot at `t0`, bind a new PTY at `t1`, resolve the `t0` response without the new PTY, and assert the pane survives with PTY id, tab ownership, and input/output proof. Then request a fresh `t2 > t1` snapshot for a genuinely killed PTY and assert teardown works. Run active/inactive tabs, visible/hidden splits, first-input probes, restore/reattach, repeat activation, and SSH/remote unknown-liveness variants.
- **Provider-session ownership matrix**: model provider-session ownership separately from terminal render output. For live, quit, active worktree-sleep, and completed worktree-sleep origins, prove each provider session is exactly one of owned, resuming, or intentionally retained. Cover active focused tabs, inactive hidden tabs, visible non-focused splits, delayed/missing/wrong hooks, duplicate legacy records, fresh-spawn failure, and repeat activation. Displayed replay must never count as ownership.
- **Old-version restore corpus**: keep immutable user-data fixtures from the last affected production versions, especially pre-#5232 session state. Boot current Orca against those fixtures and assert every persisted PTY/agent record is preserved, resumed once, warm-reattached once, or visibly marked unrecoverable. Include second restart after current Orca writes upgraded state.
- **Wayland platform liveness**: extend the Linux Wayland verifier so it proves terminal render, focus, keyboard input, PTY echo, scrollback movement, and GPU crash/stall absence across active/inactive tabs, visible/hidden splits, first mount, tab switch, restore, repeated activation, local PTY, and SSH/remote runtime. Screenshot-only evidence is not enough.
- **Terminal geometry convergence**: add an `assertTerminalGeometryConverged` oracle that compares xterm cols/rows, fit/proposed dimensions, applied PTY size when available, shell-visible `stty size` / `$COLUMNS`, and deterministic echo/wrap behavior. Inject dropped resize, delayed resize until visible, stale applied size, null SSH-style readback, initial `0x0`, and layout settling after more frames than old fixed budgets.
- **xterm addon boundary harness**: inject throwing search decorations, link providers, WebGL attach/reset/dispose, and stale async callbacks under active tab, inactive tab, visible split, hidden split, hidden-to-visible resume, floating tab switch, repeat activation, and pane destroy/recreate. Assert no `window.onerror` or React boundary hit, one structured breadcrumb, addon-scoped degradation, focus/input survival, PTY/output rendering, and WebGL fallback to DOM when needed.
### Corrective PRs Show the Desired Direction
The later fixes, especially [#6801](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6801), show the right shape: root-cause description, happens-before proof, explicit `auto-design-review-fix`, completeness verification, code-review loop, `brennan-test-changes`, and targeted tests for the stale snapshot/newborn binding race. [#6852](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6852), [#6853](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6853), and [#6855](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6855) also show good local invariant tests around xterm addon throws and PTY `0x0` sizing.
The process improvement is to make that shape mandatory before the regression escapes, and to promote only the deterministic, red/green parts into blocking CI.
## Core Pain Points
### 1. Terminal Lifecycle Is Inferred Instead of Owned
Many paths infer terminal state from a combination of pane visibility, provider session membership, stored pane layout, active leaf ids, sleeping-agent records, and xterm mount state. That makes it easy for a stale observation to tear down a fresh pane, or for a dead pane to look live.
Common symptoms:
- New tab opens and immediately closes.
- Hidden terminal exits but the visible pane later looks frozen and swallows input.
- Sleeping or hibernated agents get stranded in stale panes.
- Mobile and desktop disagree about which terminal/session still exists.
### 2. PTY Size Authority Is Split Across Too Many Places
`FitAddon`, `ResizeObserver`, deferred `requestAnimationFrame`, mobile-fit locks, hidden-pane guards, PTY locks, split layout equalization, and provider resize forwarding all compete to decide the active terminal size.
Common symptoms:
- PTY born at `0x0`.
- White split pane.
- First-mount column desync.
- TUI output wraps at the wrong width until manual resize.
- Mobile-size terminals fight desktop-size restoration.
### 3. xterm Addons Are Unsafe Boundary Code
The terminal surface trusts addon behavior too much. Recent failures came from search decorations, web-link providers, WebGL texture atlas resets, CJK/wide glyph rendering, and synchronized-output buffering.
Any addon that can throw synchronously or produce invalid dimensions can take down the workbench unless Orca wraps it defensively.
### 4. Provider Semantics Drift
Local PTY, daemon PTY, SSH relay, remote runtime, WSL, Windows ConPTY, Linux Wayland, and mobile sessions do not share the same truth source for liveness, size, replay, cwd, shell, or reconnect behavior.
Common symptoms:
- Local-only liveness checks are accidentally applied to SSH/remote panes.
- Remote paths miss fixes made only in the renderer.
- WSL works through CLI add but not UI add.
- Daemon can be protocol-healthy while PTY spawn is degraded.
### 5. Agent Identity Is Coupled to Terminal UI Details
Agent status, sidebar rows, compact rows, mobile session tabs, sleeping-agent records, terminal helper identity, and pane reuse all share responsibility for "what agent is this?"
Common symptoms:
- Duplicate agent tabs.
- Stale sidebar rows after terminal close.
- Wrong agent icon/title.
- False running/completed notifications.
- Worktree switching changes agent ordering or ownership.
Class-level invariant:
- Agent/provider session replay must be ownership-safe. When code touches agent launch, restore, sleep, hibernate, dedupe, clearing, or workspace activation, it must prove Orca does not replay or resume a provider session id that is already owned, queued, pending, or live in that workspace. This applies across active and inactive tabs, visible and hidden panes, repeat activation of the same workspace, and session records whose origin is live, quit, or worktree sleep.
- Motivating example: the #6800 escape showed how code can conflate "this pane will connect right now" with "this pane/session owns this provider session." A valid inactive or hidden existing session can then look unowned, causing workspace activation to replay `agent resume <same-session-id>` instead of recognizing the session is already represented. The gate should protect the whole class, not only the #6800 path.
- Display evidence is not ownership evidence. Replayed terminal bytes, cold-restored screen snapshots, tab layout matches, and "will connect soon" state must never count as proof that a provider session id is already claimed.
### 6. Upgrade and Startup Are Under-Tested as First-Class Flows
Several failures only appear after an app update, daemon survival across versions, old persisted state, stale helper paths, or a first launch after migration.
Common symptoms:
- First launch after upgrade loses sessions.
- Daemon remains reachable but cannot spawn PTYs.
- App process runs but no window appears.
- Release packaging/notarization works at top level but fails for a nested binary.
### 7. Reliability Fixes Can Regress Performance or Crash Safety
Several reliability fixes add watchers, reconciliation loops, terminal replay, git scans, or richer diagnostics. Those are high-risk performance surfaces if they wake hidden panes, serialize large state, multiply subprocesses, or make cleanup scans wait for final results before showing progress.
Common symptoms:
- Terminal input becomes correct but slower under foreground TUI redraw or background PTY output.
- Hidden panes keep waking the renderer for data/title/spinner frames.
- Store subscribers or persistence writes serialize large terminal/worktree maps on common interactions.
- Git/worktree cleanup opens a modal that spins, duplicates rows, hangs on a subprocess, or crashes on Windows/WSL/SSH paths.
- Safety checks run unbounded git subprocesses or trust stale cleanup evidence before destructive removal.
## Proposed Improvements
### A. Build a Terminal Lifecycle State Machine
Create a single source of truth for terminal lifecycle:
- `newborn`
- `connecting`
- `live`
- `hidden-live`
- `exited-observed`
- `exited-unobserved`
- `hibernated`
- `restoring`
- `degraded`
- `closed`
All teardown, restore, reconnect, hibernation, and liveness decisions should transition through this machine. Avoid having individual React effects independently infer lifecycle from partial state.
### B. Make Liveness Reconciliation Epoch-Based
Every pane/PTY binding should carry a monotonic renderer-local epoch or generation. Any async liveness snapshot must include the epoch it was requested against.
Rules:
- A snapshot requested before a bind cannot close that bind.
- A provider membership result can only prove death when the current binding still exactly matches the request context: pane id, provider id, connection id, PTY id, and epoch.
- Remote/SSH/WSL providers must supply provider-scoped liveness, or the reconciler must treat them as unknown.
This generalizes the timestamp guard added for newborn terminal tabs and makes it harder to reintroduce the class.
### C. Define a PTY Size Ownership Protocol
Document and enforce one protocol for size authority:
- Initial spawn size source.
- Hidden-pane spawn behavior.
- Mobile-fit lock behavior.
- Split layout settle behavior.
- Fallback size behavior.
- Provider resize acknowledgement.
- Applied PTY size reporting.
- Dropped, delayed, or skipped resize recovery.
- Hand-off from reconcile loop to live `ResizeObserver`.
Add invariant tests that a visible terminal never remains `0x0`, and that xterm `cols/rows` converge with PTY-reported `cols/rows` under split, restore, reload, and mobile-fit scenarios.
Class-level invariant:
- A visible terminal pane must have one authoritative size path from layout measurement to xterm fit to provider resize to applied PTY size. `0x0` and unknown layout measurements are non-authoritative for visible panes. If a resize is skipped because of a mobile lock, PTY lock, hidden state, split layout settle, first mount, provider delay, or dropped acknowledgement, Orca must keep reconciling until the applied PTY size and xterm size converge or the pane enters an explicit degraded state.
Required deterministic hooks:
- Force first measurement to `0x0` during split-right spawn.
- Delay split layout settlement across frames.
- Hold and release mobile-fit or PTY locks while reconcile is active.
- Drop or delay one provider resize acknowledgement.
- Report applied PTY size separately from requested size.
- Switch hidden-to-visible or worktree-to-worktree while a resize is pending.
Required oracle:
- After the fault, assert visible xterm `cols/rows`, provider-reported applied PTY `cols/rows`, and process-observed `stdout.columns/rows` converge.
- Assert a width-sensitive TUI or long-line fixture renders without one-column wrapping.
- Assert typed input reaches the process and echoed output appears after convergence.
- Assert no test is promoted to blocking if it relies on blind `waitForTimeout()` instead of size/lifecycle events or controlled fault release.
### D. Add Provider Contract Tests
Start with a deterministic fake/fault-injection provider, then run the same lifecycle contract against real providers.
The fake provider should be able to:
- Delay and reorder `listSessions()` responses.
- Return `unknown` separately from empty/live/dead.
- Delay attach/replay and resize acknowledgements.
- Kill processes while panes are hidden.
- Drop or duplicate exit/replay/resize events.
- Simulate stale cwd/helper paths.
After the fake provider is stable, run the contract against:
- local PTY
- daemon PTY
- degraded daemon wrapper
- SSH relay
- remote runtime
- WSL path/shell combinations
- mobile session replay
Required scenarios:
- spawn
- hidden spawn
- visible restore
- hidden exit
- reconnect
- resize before/after mount
- cwd deleted
- helper binary moved after upgrade
- process dies while renderer is hidden
### E. Create a Terminal Torture Harness
Add a nightly and pre-release reliability suite that exercises:
- rapid tab create/close
- agent create/close
- split right/down
- reload with split layout
- hidden-to-visible switching
- huge streaming TUI output
- CJK, Vietnamese, Arabic, and emoji input/output
- long paste, link paste, image paste
- browser/terminal focus handoffs
- hibernation wake
- daemon restart/degraded fallback
- mobile connect/disconnect during active terminal traffic
This should record screenshots, terminal snapshots, PTY sizes, lifecycle transitions, and renderer CPU.
Each scenario must also declare its oracle before it can be promoted beyond `experimental`: the observable pass condition, the failure artifact, and whether it is a discovery/stress run or a merge-blocking gate. Stress scenarios without deterministic oracles should stay nightly/pre-release only.
### F. Wrap xterm Addons Behind Safe Adapters
Search, links, WebGL, decorations, and input-protocol helpers should be treated as untrusted code:
- Catch synchronous addon throws.
- Validate all rows/cols/decoration dimensions before calling xterm APIs.
- Disable or degrade an addon for a pane after repeated failures.
- Emit a structured breadcrumb with pane id, provider, terminal size, addon name, and sanitized error.
Class-level invariant:
- xterm addon failures must be contained to the addon and pane. A search, link, WebGL, decoration, input-protocol, or keyboard-navigation error must never unmount the terminal surface, crash the renderer, break focus, or stop typed input/output for the PTY. Invalid dimensions, wrapped-line ranges, zero columns, texture atlas resets, and synchronous callback throws should either be validated away before the addon call or caught and downgraded after the call.
Required deterministic hooks:
- Force zero or near-zero terminal columns.
- Force wrapped search and link ranges across line boundaries.
- Throw from search, link, decoration, and WebGL callback boundaries.
- Simulate WebGL texture/atlas reset or addon initialization failure.
- Invoke next/previous search navigation while the search addon reports an invalid match.
Required oracle:
- The terminal pane remains mounted and focused.
- The failing addon is disabled or downgraded only for the affected pane.
- A structured breadcrumb names the addon and sanitized failure.
- Typed input reaches the process and echoed output appears after the addon failure.
### G. Add Upgrade Fixtures
Keep serialized workspaces and daemon/session state from known old versions:
- pre-#5232 session restore data
- stale daemon cwd
- stale node-pty helper path
- old hibernated agent records
- old mobile session snapshots
- old Windows shell settings
CI should boot the current app against these fixtures and assert no session loss, no blank first pane, and no startup deadlock.
Fixture rules:
- Name the exact production version and build source.
- Store the pre-migration state immutably and copy it to a temp profile before boot.
- Document the expected pre-migration shape and post-migration behavior.
- Include stale daemon/helper/path state when that is the real user upgrade path.
- Treat silent blank replacement as a failure. If exact restoration is impossible, the accepted outcome must be an explicit recoverable/degraded state or user-facing migration notice, not silent session loss.
### H. Add Platform Startup, Input, and Release Artifact Contracts
Some failures look visually healthy while the product is broken. Platform contracts must prove the user action, not only the frame.
Required contracts:
- Terminal rendering/input: on Linux Wayland, Windows ConPTY, and macOS, assert the terminal renders, accepts typed input, echoes process output, scrolls, and preserves focus after GPU/renderer startup paths touched by the PR.
- IME/input: when terminal input handling changes, assert representative CJK, Vietnamese, Arabic, paste, and modifier paths at the lowest deterministic layer available.
- Startup/window lifecycle: packaged app reveals, close button and Alt+F4 work on Windows, startup watchdogs recover when `ready-to-show` stalls, and PATH/shell probes time out with a recoverable state.
- Release artifact: packaged builds include required nested binaries and pass signing/notarization checks, not only top-level app validation.
- Daemon degradation: daemon reachable-but-unable-to-spawn and stale helper/cwd states produce a visible degraded path instead of blank or frozen terminals.
### I. Add an Agent Identity Contract
Provider and terminal tests are not enough for agent/session identity drift. Add a contract for:
- Pane reuse and tab close.
- Worktree switch and sidebar ordering.
- Sleep/wake and hibernation records.
- Provider session id capture and consumption.
- Mobile rows and desktop rows converging after terminal close.
- False running/completed notifications.
- Agent history/filter visibility for restored sessions.
- Provider session replay ownership: workspace activation, launch, restore, sleep/hibernate, dedupe, clearing, and reconnect code must not issue a second resume/launch for a provider session id already owned by an active tab, inactive tab, visible pane, hidden pane, queued pane, pending connection, or live session in the same workspace.
- Session record origins: the same invariant must be proved for live sessions, quit-restored sessions, and worktree-sleep records, including repeat activation of an already-active workspace.
Required agent identity scenarios:
- Activate a workspace with an existing visible live agent pane; assert no duplicate `resume <provider-session-id>` is queued.
- Activate a workspace with an existing hidden/inactive live agent pane; assert the provider session is recognized as represented even before the pane visibly reconnects.
- Re-activate the same workspace repeatedly while agent restore/session discovery is pending; assert the pending ownership claim dedupes all replay attempts.
- Restore a quit-origin session and a worktree-sleep-origin session; assert each is claimed once, survives hidden-to-visible transitions, and does not produce duplicate sidebar/mobile rows.
- Clear or close stale panes while a same-session replacement is queued or pending; assert cleanup cannot erase the newer ownership claim or trigger a second replay.
### J. Introduce Reliability Gates for Terminal/Session PRs
For PRs touching terminal, agent status, sessions, startup, provider routing, or hibernation, require:
- Provider matrix explicitly listed.
- Hidden-pane behavior listed.
- SSH/remote behavior listed.
- Windows/WSL behavior listed when shell, cwd, path, ConPTY, or process launch is touched.
- A regression test that fails against the old behavior.
- A manual or automated stress command if the change touches timing.
- PTY size authority proof when the PR touches terminal spawn, split layout, hidden/visible transitions, mobile fit, resize forwarding, PTY locks, provider resize acknowledgement, or xterm fit. The proof must cover `0x0` quarantine, requested versus applied PTY size, xterm/process size convergence, and a user-visible input/output oracle.
- Agent/provider replay ownership proof when the PR touches agent launch, restore, sleep/hibernate, dedupe, clearing, workspace activation, pane reuse, provider session id capture, sidebar/mobile agent rows, or session history. The proof must cover active versus inactive tabs, visible versus hidden panes, repeat workspace activation, and live, quit, and worktree-sleep session record origins.
- xterm addon containment proof when the PR touches search, links, WebGL, decorations, keyboard terminal shortcuts, synchronized output, or xterm addon registration. The proof must show addon throws and invalid geometry cannot crash the terminal surface, unmount the pane, or break typed input/output.
- The terminal/session checklist should explicitly ask: "Can this change make an already represented provider session look unowned, or replay/resume it a second time?"
- The terminal/session checklist should explicitly ask: "Can this change make a visible pane trust `0x0`, stale requested size, or renderer-only size instead of the size the PTY actually applied?"
- The terminal/session checklist should explicitly ask: "Can an xterm addon callback or invalid addon geometry throw through the terminal surface instead of being contained?"
### K. Make Reliability Tests Predictable and Useful
The goal is not "more tests." The goal is a small set of executable contracts that protect named invariants from real failures.
Required shape for every new reliability gate:
- Name the invariant it protects.
- Name the real issue, PR, or failure mode that motivated it.
- Prove red/green: the gate must fail against the old behavior, a regression fixture, or a small intentionally broken variant before it becomes a trusted blocker.
- Attach a promotion record: invariant id, motivating issue/PR, old-fail evidence, new-pass evidence, exact command, failure output or CI link, deterministic wait condition, owner, runtime budget, and demotion rule.
- Pick the cheapest deterministic layer: pure state-machine or provider-contract tests first, integration tests second, Electron/UI tests only for the small number of golden paths that require the real app shell.
- Avoid sleeps as proof. Wait for observable state, protocol events, lifecycle transitions, PTY size convergence, replay completion, or process exit.
- Record why the test is allowed to block merges: expected runtime, flake history, covered invariant, and owner.
Test maturity levels:
- `experimental`: local or nightly only; useful for shaking out the harness, not allowed to block merges.
- `soak`: runs repeatedly in CI but non-blocking; collects flake rate, runtime, and whether failures are actionable.
- `blocking`: promoted only after red/green proof, stable runtime, and low flake rate.
Flake policy:
- Blocking promotion should require numeric evidence, for example 100 consecutive soak runs or 14 days across required CI platforms, p95 runtime within the gate budget, and zero unexplained flakes. Tune the numbers later, but do not leave "stable" undefined.
- A blocking reliability test that flakes above the agreed threshold should be demoted or fixed quickly; rerun-only culture hides weak gates.
- CI should quarantine or demote a blocking test automatically when it exceeds the threshold over the configured window, open or update an owner issue, and require a fresh soak window before re-promotion.
- A flaky test should be treated as a product or harness bug with an owner, not as background noise.
- If a scenario cannot be made deterministic yet, keep it as soak/manual evidence and do not let it become required CI until the signal is trustworthy.
Deletion policy:
- Delete or demote tests that do not map to an invariant, duplicate a stronger gate, assert implementation details instead of behavior, only fail from timing/environment noise, or require blind sleeps.
- Prefer one high-signal contract test over several UI tests that all exercise the same happy path.
- Track regression coverage by invariant, not by raw test count.
- Maintain a reliability-gates manifest in the repo. Each gate should list invariant id, motivating issue/PR, layer, owner, maturity, runtime budget, flake history link, promotion record, and replacement gate if deprecated. Tests without current metadata should fail review or be demoted.
How to know the program is working:
- Every recent P0/P1 reliability class maps to an invariant and an executable gate or explicitly accepted gap.
- New gates carry red/green evidence.
- Blocking gate flake rate and runtime stay within budget.
- Future incidents identify either a missing invariant, a failed gate, or an explicit accepted gap instead of requiring archaeology.
- Accepted gaps have an owner, reason, affected platforms/providers, issue link, and expiry date. Expired gaps should block future high-risk PRs until renewed or closed.
- The dashboard tracks touched high-risk PRs, gates required, gates implemented, accepted gaps by age/owner, promotions, demotions, and escaped regressions by invariant.
### L. Make Performance and Git Crash Safety First-Class Gates
Correctness gates must include a performance budget when the fix touches terminal throughput, hidden panes, store subscribers, persistence, startup, polling, git/worktree scans, cleanup modals, subprocesses, SSH/WSL providers, or Windows git paths.
Required performance contract:
- Name the user-visible performance symptom that could regress: typing latency, scroll/resize jank, terminal throughput, startup delay, modal loading, CPU, memory, subprocess churn, or crash/reload.
- Name the resource being protected: renderer frame time, event-loop delay, PTY IPC count, xterm writes, serialized bytes, subprocess count, file descriptors, WebGL contexts, webviews, or retained buffers.
- Add a before/after measurement or deterministic count/leak test. Do not rely on "felt faster."
- Keep foreground input echo and control responses latency-sensitive while batching background or high-volume redraw streams.
- Prove hidden snapshot-capable panes do not wake the renderer per PTY chunk/title frame and restore from main-owned buffers when shown.
- Preserve `orca terminal read` pagination, cursor metadata, bounded preview behavior, partial-line handling, truncation flags, and total counts when changing terminal buffering.
- Prove subscriber, persistence, and publication paths avoid unchanged large slices and record serialized byte size when persisted payloads are touched.
- Keep stress/torture runs non-blocking until they have numeric runtime and flake evidence.
Required git crash/perf contract:
- Bound every git subprocess in scan/cleanup paths with a timeout or abort signal, and kill the process tree where applicable.
- Use bounded concurrency and in-flight dedupe; avoid one subprocess per repo x worktree x polling tick.
- Stream progress incrementally to the renderer and remove IPC listeners in `finally`.
- Verify close/reopen/refresh during active or just-settled scans clears loading state, preserves rows, and does not duplicate progress.
- Recheck cleanup candidates immediately before destructive delete, including dirty files, unpushed commits, unknown upstream/base, folder repos, main worktrees, pinned workspaces, running terminals, disconnected SSH, and WSL paths.
- Keep local, WSL, and SSH git providers at parity for timeouts, aborts, errors, and path handling.
- On Windows-risky cleanup changes, validate a real Electron flow when feasible: progress appears before final completion, close/reopen recovers, a clean old worktree delete does not crash, and no orphan Electron/git process remains.
Promotion rule:
- A reliability fix cannot become a blocking gate if it makes the product slower or crashier. The promotion record must include the perf command or measurement, budget, result, platform/provider scope, and any accepted perf gap.
### M. Make the Factory Enforce Those Gates
The factory should turn the reliability gate into default behavior for planning, review, and merge-confidence testing. This should be treated as part of the prevention plan, not as a substitute for the actual test harnesses and CI gates above.
Factory changes to carry forward:
- `brennan-yolo-lite` should require a Reliability regression gate in the design doc whenever terminal, tab, session, provider, startup, upgrade, persistence, packaging, shell, path, or release behavior is touched.
- The gate should force the agent to classify touched P0-capable surfaces: terminal lifecycle, tab creation/binding, dead-session reconciliation, hidden-to-visible resume, PTY identity/routing, PTY geometry including `0x0` quarantine, xterm addon boundaries, IME/paste/redraw behavior, local/daemon/SSH/remote/WSL/mobile provider contracts, attach/replay/resize/exit ordering, startup/upgrade persisted state, daemon survival, renderer/GPU crash containment, packaging/notarization, shell/PATH probing, terminal throughput, hidden-pane output, store subscriber hot paths, persistence payload size, git/worktree scan subprocess churn, cleanup modal progress, and Windows/WSL/SSH git crash risk.
- Completeness verification should block when a touched P0-capable surface has no implemented or explicitly accepted reliability gate.
- `review-code` should treat missing reliability tests or validation gates as findings for these surfaces, with the same review weight as lifecycle, provider, or cross-platform regressions.
- `review-code` should invoke the `perf` skill for slow UI, terminal throughput, high CPU, memory/resource leaks, polling, subprocess churn, startup latency, render churn, or persistence writes.
- `review-code` should invoke the `git-crash-perf` skill for worktree cleanup, git scans/status/listing, destructive removal, cleanup modal progress, SSH/WSL git providers, subprocess timeouts, or Windows git crash risk.
- `brennan-test-changes` should run or explicitly justify the relevant terminal torture, provider contract, startup/upgrade, persisted-state, release, cross-platform, perf, or git crash/perf matrix subset.
Current implementation status:
- Internal factory skill update PR: https://github.com/stablyai/orca-internal/pull/491
- Scope of that PR: add the reliability gate to `brennan-yolo-lite` and expand `review-code` to inspect the recent terminal/session/provider/startup/release failure classes.
- Follow-up needed: once the concrete repo-side harnesses exist, update the skills again to name the exact commands and required CI jobs instead of only naming the expected reliability evidence.
Additional factory follow-up:
- `auto-design-review-fix`: treat missing reliability gates for P0-capable surfaces as design findings; require inverse invariants for cleanup/reconcile/init code.
- `review-code-fix-loop`: require the final loop report to name the touched reliability classes, invariant, gate, and whether both reviewers addressed them. A clean review that never discusses the required reliability class should not count as clean.
- `brennan-test-changes`: add merge-confidence sub-gates for stale snapshot/newborn binding races, hidden-to-visible resume, attach/replay/exit ordering, old-version persisted state, provider/platform matrices, and render-live/input-live checks.
- `pr-review`: classify P0-capable surfaces before review/fix and require the same invariant/test/platform matrix before approval.
- `yolo-lite` and `electron`: require terminal/runtime validation to prove input, scroll, focus, process output, and relevant platform behavior, not only screenshots or visible frames.
- `playwright-reliability-tests`: add a focused skill for writing and reviewing Playwright tests that are evidence-based, low-flake, and tied to named invariants, so browser/Electron tests do not become more noisy checklist coverage.
- `perf`: require measurement-backed review for terminal throughput, hidden pane output, store subscribers, persistence, startup, polling, subprocess churn, resource leaks, and memory growth.
- `git-crash-perf`: require bounded subprocesses, progress streaming, close/reopen recovery, fresh delete preflight, provider parity, and Windows Electron validation for git cleanup/worktree changes.
### N. Add Pane Lifecycle Telemetry and Diagnostics
Each terminal pane should be able to emit a compact lifecycle trace:
- pane id, tab id, worktree id
- provider and connection id
- pty id and binding epoch
- visibility transitions
- spawn/connect timestamps
- resize measurements and forwarded sizes
- liveness snapshot request/response times
- teardown reason
- hibernation/restore reason
This will make future reports much easier to attribute without guessing. It should also be test-consumable: CI should be able to fail on forbidden transitions, stale close attempts, stuck `0x0`, missing input echo, and startup watchdog expiry.
## Attribution Methodology
"Who caused it?" is not reliably answerable from labels alone. This review separates:
- **Confirmed**: the issue body or fix PR explicitly names the introducing PR/change.
- **Likely**: the fix PR identifies the failing subsystem and local git history shows the regressing mechanism was introduced by a specific PR.
- **Area ownership**: the same people are repeatedly fixing or modifying the subsystem, but there is not enough evidence to say they caused a given issue.
- **Systemic**: no single introducer is evident; the problem is a missing invariant, provider contract, or test harness.
## Attribution Findings
### Confirmed Regression Chains
- [#5356](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/5356), session loss on first launch after upgrading from 1.4.65 to 1.4.68, explicitly names PRs [#5234](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/5234) and [#5240](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/5240). Local git history shows both PRs were authored by Jinwoo Hong. Count: Jinwoo 1 confirmed open `P0` regression chain.
- [#5319](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/5319), Linux/Wayland terminal input freeze, is closed, but the fixing PR [#6557](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6557) says the Wayland-aware GPU path had been removed in [#1344](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/1344). Local git history shows #1344 was authored by Neil. Count: Neil 1 confirmed closed `P1` regression chain.
### Likely Regression Chains
- [#6773](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/issues/6773), new terminal/agent tabs opening and immediately closing, was fixed by [#6796](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6796) and [#6801](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6801). Those PRs identify the dead-session reconciler as the cause. Local git history shows [#6514](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/pull/6514), which introduced the focused dead-session reconcile module for hidden exited panes, was authored by Brennan Benson. Count: Brennan 1 likely open `P0` regression chain.
### Area Ownership Without Clear Causation
The recent terminal reliability churn is concentrated among Brennan, Neil, and Jinwoo because they authored many of the fixes and nearby changes. That does not mean each issue was caused by them. It does mean the riskiest ownership surfaces are:
- Terminal lifecycle/reconcile/session persistence: Brennan, Neil, Jinwoo.
- PTY size/layout/reflow: Neil, Jinjing, Jinwoo, Brennan.
- Daemon/degraded spawn/focus/remote lifecycle: Neil, Jinwoo.
- Windows terminal/shell/ConPTY/GPU recovery: Brennan, Neil, Jinwoo.
- Agent status/sidebar/session identity: Brennan, Neil, Jinwoo, Jinjing.
### Current Conservative Count
For currently open `P0`/`P1` issues with a clear or likely PR-caused chain:
- Jinwoo: 1 confirmed open `P0` regression chain.
- Brennan: 1 likely open `P0` regression chain.
- Neil: 0 confirmed open `P0`/`P1` chains from the evidence pulled, plus 1 confirmed closed `P1` chain.
Most open `P0`/`P1` issues do not identify an introducing PR. Treating those as individual blame would be misleading. The stronger conclusion is that Orca has systemic reliability gaps around terminal/session lifecycle, provider contracts, PTY sizing, and upgrade/startup flows.
## Recommended Next Steps
Implementation plan: [`docs/reference/reliability-gates-implementation-plan.md`](./reliability-gates-implementation-plan.md).
1. Deduplicate and update `P0` issues #6873/#6874 and #6773 with the suspected fix status.
2. Add narrow red/green gates for known escapes first: newborn liveness race, PTY `0x0`, xterm addon throw containment, old-version upgrade fixture, and Linux Wayland render-live/input-live smoke.
3. Define test maturity levels, promotion records, numeric flake/demotion policy, and a reliability-gates manifest before making new reliability gates blocking.
4. Build the fake/fault-injection provider contract kit, then run the same contract against local and daemon PTY before expanding to SSH, WSL, remote runtime, and mobile.
5. Add upgrade/startup/release fixtures for pre-#5232 session data, stale daemon/helper paths, packaged app reveal/close, nested notarization, PATH probe timeout, and Windows terminal activation.
6. Add the terminal lifecycle state machine design doc and implement it incrementally behind the known escaped-regression gates.
7. Formalize the PTY size protocol and make `0x0` a quarantined/non-authoritative state for visible panes.
8. Add the agent identity contract for pane reuse, worktree switch, sidebar/mobile rows, provider session ids, stale notifications, and ownership-safe provider session replay across active/inactive tabs, visible/hidden panes, repeated activation, and live/quit/worktree-sleep records.
9. Add performance budgets and measurements to reliability gates that touch terminal throughput, hidden panes, store subscribers, persistence, startup, polling, subprocess churn, git/worktree scans, cleanup modals, SSH/WSL git providers, or Windows git crash risk.
10. Gate terminal/session PRs behind the reliability checklist above, including perf and git crash/perf checks when those surfaces are touched.
11. Keep the factory skill update as the enforcement layer, add the Playwright reliability-testing skill, and make `perf` plus `git-crash-perf` mandatory companion skills for relevant PRs; then revise companion skills once exact repo commands and CI job names exist.
12. Add pane lifecycle traces so future issues can be attributed from evidence instead of archaeology.

# Remote agent-session host authority
Status: implemented single-PR v1 design for issues #8878 and #9352; deterministic validation complete.
## Reliability contract
- **Invariant (`agent-session.remote-host-authority`):** one provider-session identity has at most one live PTY owner and canonical host surface on every claim-capable route; exact exit retires that incarnation durably.
- **Failure source:** issues #8878 and #9352, including concurrent remote clients, ambiguous replies, exit-before-publication, and stale client snapshots.
- **Oracle:** the focused ownership/lifecycle matrix and `pnpm test:repro:remote-agent-session` prove one physical spawn, canonical retry adoption, exact exit retirement, stale-publication rejection, and no restart resurrection.
- **Gate:** the experimental `agent-session.remote-host-authority` entry in `config/reliability-gates.jsonc`.
- **Coverage:** deterministic macOS local/daemon/remote-runtime evidence plus SSH/relay fault-injection; Linux, Windows, WSL, and live SSH remain explicit gaps.
- **Performance budget:** no polling or terminal-output work; admission-only provider reconciliation is inflight-deduped, and operation state is capped and expiring.
- **Diagnostics:** structured RPC error codes, PTY incarnation IDs, owner generations, operation dispositions, and the repro artifact distinguish fallback, adoption, conflict, and retirement failures.
- **Residual gaps:** durable fresh-operation journaling, automatic sleep checkpoints, verified nested-SSH namespaces, and multi-process profile coordination are documented under Future extensions.
## Summary
A remote Orca host, not an attached renderer, decides whether a provider agent
session already has a live PTY. Clients send structured intent (fresh launch or
explicit provider identity); the host returns one canonical terminal surface.
This fixes two related failures:
- A paired client could consume its own persisted sleep record and launch a
second TUI while the remote host still owned the first one (#8878).
- An exited host terminal could remain in `session.tabs.list` as a handle-less
placeholder, get persisted by clients, and return as a ghost tab (#9352).
The v1 protocol deliberately fails closed after authority side effects begin.
At mixed-version boundaries the host may return
`agent_session_legacy_required`, but only after a read-only execution-owner
check and before trust, claim, spawn, or any retained replay fence. The client can then run
its retained exact legacy request, so upgrading any subset of clients, hosts,
daemons, or relays does not remove workflows that worked before the upgrade.
## Scope and guarantees
This change guarantees:
1. Runtime-owned worktrees always queue renderer sleep records into the normal
transport. A fully capable route turns that intent into an authoritative
ensure/adoption; mixed-version routes preserve the legacy wake behavior.
2. On capable hosts, known provider sessions resume through a structured
`terminal.ensureAgentSession` request.
3. On claim-capable execution routes, concurrent or repeated ensures for the
same canonical provider identity return one execution owner and one
canonical terminal surface.
4. A fresh launch uses `terminal.createAgentSession` with a caller-scoped
operation ID. Stable runtime surface identity, daemon session identity, and
relay operation identity prevent response-loss retries from creating a
second process while their respective owner remains alive.
5. New hosts continue accepting agent-bearing legacy terminal-create RPCs, so
old clients behave exactly as they did before the host upgrade.
6. Structured explicit resume returns `agent_session_legacy_required` before
side effects when a daemon is old or an SSH route cannot attest its execution
namespace. A claim-capable route still fails closed on malformed,
conflicting, or unknown ownership after dispatch.
7. Natural or explicit PTY exit retires only the exact PTY incarnation and
terminal surface from both `terminal.list` and `session.tabs.list`, repairs
active/group topology, and removes durable host persistence.
8. New clients use structured authority only when advertised. Capability
absence or a transient read-only probe failure selects the exact legacy
payload; protocol incompatibility remains blocked.
The following are not v1 guarantees:
- automatic resume of an intentionally sleeping remote agent;
- fresh-launch exactly-once behavior across a full runtime process restart;
- host-authoritative deduplication of resumes through an unverified
direct/nested SSH execution namespace (those launches retain legacy behavior);
- supervising a provider process after its owning PTY exits;
- coordinating multiple independent Orca main processes for one profile;
- preventing a nonconforming new client from deliberately sending the same
legacy wire request as an old client; authenticated request-level capability
negotiation does not yet exist, so the server cannot distinguish them.
Those constraints are explicit so future work can extend the protocol without
weakening the v1 safety boundary.
## Authority model
There are three layers:
| Layer | Responsibility |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Client/renderer | Sends structured intent and mirrors host snapshots |
| Runtime/controller | Resolves worktree and provider identity, signs a claim, publishes the canonical surface |
| Execution owner (daemon or relay) | Atomically claim-or-spawn, prove liveness, and recover live claims from listings |
The execution owner is the lowest process that can atomically answer “is there
already a live PTY for this agent identity?” Keeping the registry there closes
the race between multiple runtime calls. The controller also keeps a registry
above providers so separate local/SSH routes cannot independently claim the
same identity.
## Structured requests
### Explicit resume
`terminal.ensureAgentSession` accepts only a supported agent and normalized
provider identity:
```ts
{
kind: 'explicit'
worktree: string
agent: ResumableTuiAgent
providerSession: {
key: 'session_id' | 'conversation_id'
id: string
transcriptPath?: string
}
agentArgs?: string | null
launchPreferences?: { model?: string; effort?: string; mode?: string }
presentation?: 'focused' | 'background'
placement?: { tabId?: string; leafId?: string }
}
```
The host canonicalizes the provider identity, binds it to the execution
namespace and canonical worktree, and signs a digest claim. Raw resume commands
do not cross a claim-capable boundary; compatibility-selected legacy and
unverified nested SSH paths retain their prior opaque command behavior.
The execution owner performs one atomic operation:
```text
claim absent -> reserve -> spawn -> publish live owner -> created
claim live -> prove PTY liveness -> return canonical owner -> adopted
claim unknown -> fail closed; do not spawn
claim conflict -> fail closed; do not spawn
```
Only an adopted owner may override the requested tab, leaf, handle, or PTY ID.
A fresh provider result must match the surface requested by the host.
### Fresh launch
`terminal.createAgentSession` accepts structured agent, prompt-delivery mode,
launch preferences, optional explicit agent arguments, and a cryptographically
random client operation ID. Draft prompts remain drafts; submitted prompts use
the normal startup-delivery path. Omitted agent arguments preserve host
defaults, while an explicit string is preserved as a client override and an
explicit null/empty value clears host argument defaults. Free-form client
environment variables are deliberately not accepted because PATH, loaders, and
other process authority remain host-owned.
The runtime reserves the caller-scoped operation before any asynchronous
workspace or capability preflight, then fingerprints the host-resolved request
under the authenticated device identity:
- same caller + operation ID + same fingerprint returns `replayed`;
- same caller + operation ID + different fingerprint fails;
- malformed, future-dated, expired, or over-capacity operations fail closed.
The operation ledger is memory-bound and retained for 24 hours. Pre-spawn
failures release the entry for a safe retry. Once PTY creation commits, or the
provider reports an unknown physical outcome, the same rejected promise remains
as the replay fence. This handles response loss and ordinary reconnects to the
same running host. It does not claim exactly-once creation after the runtime
process itself restarts.
Physical commit is the native-spawn boundary, not listener registration or
surface publication. The in-process provider reports it immediately after
`node-pty` returns; daemon and relay paths report it when their lower owner
returns from spawn/create-or-attach. Commit reporting is one-shot across these
layers. Any later error retains the operation fence because the PTY may already
exist even if publication failed.
The runtime derives the execution-operation ID, tab ID, leaf ID, and terminal
handle deterministically from the authenticated operation. A daemon-backed
spawn derives a legacy-length session ID from that execution operation, so
`createOrAttach` returns the same PTY after a lost response without shrinking
the accepted worktree-ID boundary or skipping first-spawn setup. An SSH
provider performs a bounded read-only relay probe before structured work:
- a relay advertising `agentSessionCreateOperationVersion: 1` receives the
operation ID and replays one successful spawn result for 24 hours;
- an older, malformed, or temporarily unreachable relay makes the host return
`agent_session_legacy_required`, after which the client sends its unchanged
legacy payload;
- negative relay capability results are not pinned, so an in-place upgrade is
observed on the next request.
Relay operation-owned PTYs survive stale request contexts so the retry can
recover the same PTY and incarnation. Ordinary stale shell spawns keep the
existing cleanup behavior.
## Claim identity
The claim contains no raw provider session ID. A host-only signer hashes:
- normalized agent/provider identity;
- canonical worktree scope;
- execution machine and principal;
- container/runtime namespace;
- a conservative provider-root bucket. The v1 implementation deliberately
merges account roots for an agent, which can produce a safe conflict but
cannot authorize duplicate execution.
The wire binding includes a key ID, digest version, identity digest, worktree
scope digest, and agent kind. Owner state adds a random generation, PTY ID, and
canonical surface.
Generation and PTY-incarnation guards prevent a late exit or liveness result
from releasing, retiring, or adopting a replacement owner that reused the same
PTY ID.
## Recovery and failure semantics
Before every claimed ensure, the controller stages complete listings from local
and registered SSH providers, validates every owner, and atomically replaces
the authoritative portion of its registry. Absent owners are pruned only for
providers whose listing is authoritative; disconnected scopes retain their
fence. Active reservations survive reconciliation. Valid metadata also rebuilds
PTY-to-provider routing.
Controller-owned in-process fallback claims are intentionally not serialized
in ordinary local process listings. Their listing absence is therefore not
authoritative: the controller keeps the claim while the exact PTY incarnation
remains listed and releases it through the normal exit path. Daemon routers and
degraded providers likewise advertise listing authority only for a proven
PTY-to-provider route; an unknown ID never falls through to an unrelated
current/fallback provider for this decision.
Recovery is fail closed:
- owner PTY differs from the listed session: `agent_session_ownership_unknown`;
- two listings disagree about an identity or generation:
`agent_session_conflict`;
- the recorded provider is disconnected or unregistered:
`execution_owner_unavailable`;
- a claim-bearing spawn reaches a daemon/relay without execution-owner claim
protocol v2 (including PTY incarnation proof):
`agent_session_claim_unavailable`. Nested SSH routes that cannot construct a
claim are selected into legacy behavior before this boundary.
Unknown liveness never means dead. A transient relay outage therefore retains
the claim and cannot authorize a replacement agent.
Daemon adoption is attach-only. If the owner exits between liveness proof and
attach, the request fails rather than falling through to a new unclaimed shell.
Serialized relay shell state intentionally omits provider claims. Spawn-based
revival creates a new shell and cannot inherit authority from the old process.
## Renderer behavior
Runtime-owned worktrees queue cached resume evidence through the same mounted
pane transport regardless of capability-cache timing. A capable host adopts or
creates one canonical owner; an old host or execution owner receives the exact
legacy launch. A cold or expired cache therefore cannot bypass authority or
remove the pre-change workflow.
AI Vault resumes use provider metadata for agents with a structured identity,
including Antigravity conversation IDs and Pi transcript/session paths. If
metadata or host capability is absent, Orca preserves the prior opaque legacy
resume request instead of blocking the user.
Background launches, quick launches, and mounted remote panes use
`terminal.createAgentSession` on capable hosts. Otherwise each call site sends
the exact pre-change `terminal.create` or `session.tabs.createTerminal` payload.
The common router calls legacy after only these safe outcomes: the host capability
is unavailable before dispatch; the structured RPC returns the stable
pre-side-effect `agent_session_legacy_required` code; or a replaced old host
returns `method_not_found`, proving it never recognized the structured request.
Timeouts, malformed results, and every other structured error never downgrade.
Structured create/ensure responses record an exact
environment/worktree/provisional-tab to canonical-host-tab handoff. Snapshot
reconciliation removes a provisional pane only when its requested tab ID is
mirrored or that explicit handoff points to a host tab in the snapshot; agent
kind alone is never identity. This prevents an unrelated Claude/Codex session
from deleting a same-agent automatic-resume pane. The matched pane's pending
startup and automatic-resume claim are removed atomically, and the client
re-accepts the current host snapshot in case it arrived before the response.
Every structured result is host-owned. If snapshot handoff destroys the
provisional transport while create/ensure is in flight, late completion cannot
close the canonical PTY even when reconciliation is still catching up.
After the host accepts creation, a later tab-move or snapshot-refresh failure
still returns `created`. Reporting the launch as failed would invite a retry
with a new operation ID and could duplicate the fresh agent.
## Exit and persistence lifecycle
PTY exit is terminal authority. A generic persisted `sleeping` row is not a
reason to preserve a surface. Only an exact, runtime-owned stop transaction may
temporarily preserve the intentional handle-less surface. Otherwise the
runtime:
1. verifies the PTY incarnation and identifies the exact worktree/tab/leaf;
2. removes that leaf from the host snapshot;
3. removes an empty parent tab;
4. repairs split groups, active group/tab, recent order, and layout;
5. removes the terminal binding from the persisted host workspace session and
advances that repo's host topology revision;
6. synchronously flushes that retirement before publishing the in-memory
absence;
7. rebases later renderer writes onto the host's current terminal membership,
so metadata and layout edits remain writable but missing/live panes cannot
be added or removed by a stale client.
The durable fence is one monotonic revision per affected repo, not one record
per historical close or deleted worktree. Its storage is therefore proportional
to repos plus current terminal surfaces. A real host-admitted spawn advances
the revision when it adds a tab or leaf, allowing fresh terminals after a
retirement while an older renderer snapshot remains unable to revive the old
surface. Legacy per-pane tombstones are accepted for mixed-version recovery
and collapsed into the repo revision on the next normalized write.
The revision remains private to each execution host: renderer hydration and
writes omit it, avoiding collisions when different hosts contain the same repo
ID. Each host preserves the revision while rebasing client session writes.
An exit can also beat initial terminal registration. The runtime records that
PTY/incarnation before any surface exists, rejects registration of the same or
unproven incarnation before mutating provider/output sequence, execution
context, ownership, lease, binding, handle, terminal, or tab state. The native
callback or successful lower-owner return still reports physical-spawn commit
before this admission check so a lost provider response cannot authorize a
second fresh agent. A proven different incarnation, or an explicit new local
lifecycle for a provider that cannot report incarnation identity, clears the
fence. When registration rejects the recorded incarnation, that specific
caller's fence is released after rejection so repeated early-exit failures do
not accumulate process memory.
Registration intent is explicit: the controller marks the expected PTY before
dispatch and clears that intent on every success or failure path. Surface
absence is never treated as evidence that registration is still in flight.
SSH and daemon providers also settle an attach/create response against any exit
that arrived in the same transport batch before returning control upward. This
keeps response/exit ordering and incarnation comparison at the layer that can
observe both events.
“Explicitly killed” is treated as a normal terminal-gone lifecycle outcome in
the remote transport, not as an unexpected product-error toast.
## Protocol and compatibility
The runtime protocol remains v3, with minimum compatible client and server v2.
This change adds optional RPCs and fields, so a protocol fence would make a
rolling upgrade worse without providing an authorization boundary. The runtime
advertises `agent-session.host-authority.v1`; clients negotiate that capability
before choosing a launch path.
| Client | Host | Result |
| ------ | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| New | New | Structured authority is enabled when the resolved execution owner also supports it. |
| New | Old | The client selects legacy before spawn, or falls back on safe `method_not_found`; behavior is unchanged. |
| Old | New | The host still accepts legacy agent-bearing terminal creates; behavior is unchanged. |
| Old | Old | Unchanged legacy behavior. |
Capability probing is read-only. A transient probe failure may select legacy,
because no structured side effect has started. A real protocol compatibility
block is still surfaced and never bypassed. A capable host then checks the
resolved daemon or relay. Only `agent_session_legacy_required`, emitted before
trust, claim, spawn, or any retained replay fence, permits legacy; every later error stays on
the structured path. The other post-dispatch exception is `method_not_found`
from an old host, which proves the method could not have started. Host and
lower-owner unsupported verdicts are not pinned, and observing a new runtime ID
invalidates a predecessor's positive verdict, so rolling upgrades and process
replacement re-probe promptly. The SSH probe is bounded below the client RPC
timeout, concurrent callers have independent cancellation, successful
structured creates require PTY and incarnation identity, and request
cancellation is checked at the real provider seams: after asynchronous
capability/connection preflight and immediately before local native spawn,
daemon `createOrAttach`, or SSH `pty.spawn`. Once SSH dispatch begins, an
operation failure is treated as an unknown physical outcome rather than a safe
fresh retry.
The same monotonic rule applies below the runtime:
| Runtime/controller | Execution owner | Result |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| New | New daemon | Stable operation-derived session ID makes retry attach to the same PTY. |
| New | Old daemon | The host returns `legacy_required` before side effects; the client sends its exact old resume/create request. |
| New | New relay | Relay operation ledger replays the same PTY and incarnation. |
| New | Old relay | The host returns `legacy_required` before side effects; the client sends its exact old spawn request. |
| Old | New daemon/relay | New optional fields are absent, so pre-change behavior is unchanged. |
This contract is monotonic: upgrading any subset never removes a workflow that
worked before. The bug fix activates only where every authority layer required
for that specific path can prove support.
## Deterministic reproduction harness
Run:
```sh
pnpm test:repro:remote-agent-session
```
The harness builds Orca, starts a real headless Electron `orca serve` process on
an ephemeral port, and connects independent Node client processes over the
normal encrypted WebSocket pairing path. It creates and registers a real Git
repository in an isolated profile and uses the real daemon claim registry with
a controlled agent subprocess. No installed agent, external service, fixed
port, timing race, or Docker daemon is needed.
It asserts:
- two clients race the same structured resume;
- exactly one daemon subprocess is spawned;
- both clients receive the same canonical handle, tab, pane, and PTY;
- a retry that may have lost its earlier response adopts that owner;
- a real `terminal.close` produces PTY exit and both `terminal.list` and
`session.tabs.list` omit the surface;
- a stale layout publication cannot recreate the retired surface;
- restarting the serve process with the same profile cannot resurrect the
terminal or tab.
Lower-level tests separately cover daemon attach races, controller recovery,
provider disconnects, conflicting listings, old SSH relays, malformed SSH
claim results, cancellation at physical provider seams, pre-publication native
spawn failures, exact provisional handoff, early exit before registration, and
exit-driven durable retirement.
## Future extensions
### Host-owned automatic sleep checkpoints
Automatic remote sleep/resume should be added only as a host transaction:
1. persist a random, generation-bound checkpoint before stopping;
2. publish a non-connectable transition state;
3. stop and verify the exact owner;
4. commit sleeping state only after the owner is gone;
5. consume the checkpoint atomically during ensure.
Until this exists, renderer-local records may trigger resume intent but cannot
authorize a second owner on a claim-capable route. Compatibility-selected
legacy mode keeps the pre-change behavior.
### Durable fresh-operation journal
If fresh-launch exactly-once behavior must survive runtime restart, replace the
memory ledger with a profile-scoped durable journal. It must persist the caller,
operation ID, request fingerprint, canonical result/tombstone, and retention
deadline before returning success. Capacity must reject rather than evict an
unexpired tombstone.
### Verified SSH execution namespaces
Direct or nested SSH agent-session authority requires relay-attested machine,
principal, container, and provider-root identity plus a separately versioned
claim capability. Connection labels or target aliases are not proof. Until
that attestation exists, the host requests exact legacy fallback before spawn;
v1 does not claim deduplication for that route.
### Multi-process coordination
Supporting multiple Orca main processes against one profile requires an
OS-held coordinator lease around claim and journal mutation. The current v1
contract coordinates clients of one runtime/controller process and its daemon
or registered relays.

# Kerberos / GSSAPI SSH Authentication
Orca's ssh2-based SSH stack cannot speak `gssapi-with-mic` — the ssh2 library
has no GSSAPI userauth support, and adding it would mean forking ssh2's
protocol layer plus shipping the `kerberos` native module (MIT krb5 / Heimdal /
Windows SSPI) as a prebuilt Electron dependency on three platforms. Instead,
hosts that need Kerberos ride the existing **system OpenSSH transport** — the
same parallel transport already used for `ProxyCommand`/`ProxyJump` hosts —
which delegates GSSAPI, ticket lookup (`kinit` cache, Windows domain logon),
and credential delegation to the platform's own `ssh` binary on macOS, Linux,
and Windows (Win32-OpenSSH uses SSPI).
## Transport selection
Two tiers, deliberately asymmetric because RHEL-family distros ship
`GSSAPIAuthentication yes` in the global `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`, which makes
`ssh -G` report GSSAPI enabled for *every* host:
1. **Proactive** — a target with `gssapiAuthentication: true` (parsed from an
explicit `GSSAPIAuthentication yes` in the host's `~/.ssh/config` block, or
set on the target directly) tries the system-ssh probe first. If that fails
(e.g. no ticket), the connect falls through to the normal ssh2 key/agent
path where passphrase/password prompts remain available — OpenSSH semantics
allow other auth methods alongside GSSAPI.
2. **Auth-failure fallback** — when ssh2 exhausts key/agent auth and the
`ssh -G`-resolved config enables GSSAPI (`isGssapiSystemSshFallbackCandidate`
in `ssh-connection-utils.ts`), the connection retries over system ssh
*before* prompting the user for credentials. Kerberos-only hosts on
distro-default configs connect this way; hosts where keys work never leave
the ssh2 path.
Manual (non-ssh-config) targets flagged for GSSAPI get an explicit
`-o GSSAPIAuthentication=yes` in `system-ssh-args.ts`; config-backed targets
inherit the option from their own `Host` block since the system binary re-reads
ssh_config.
Both tiers work headless (`orca serve`): the system-ssh probe needs no
credential callbacks, and GSSAPI itself is non-interactive once a ticket
exists.

# SSH Typing Latency Under Relay Load
Date: 2026-07-06
## Symptom
Typing in an SSH-host terminal can become extremely slow (hundreds of ms to
seconds per echoed keystroke) while other SSH work is active — file previews,
source-control refresh, search. A quiet SSH shell stays snappy, which made the
reports look unreproducible.
This is distinct from the local warm-switch lag documented in
`terminal-switch-typing-lag-investigation.md` (daemon `listSessions()`
snapshot cost — already fixed; `TerminalHost.listSessions()` is now
metadata-only via `getAppliedSize()`).
## Root Cause
The relay and the Electron client share ONE ordered SSH channel for all
JSON-RPC traffic: PTY input/output, file streams, git responses, search, port
scans. Two mechanisms turned bulk traffic into typing latency:
1. **Relay-side head-of-line blocking (primary).** The `fs.readFileStream`
pump (`src/relay/fs-handler-file-read.ts`) wrote every 256KB chunk (~340KB
framed) into the relay's stdout as fast as local disk reads completed,
ignoring the `write() === false` backpressure signal. A 10MB preview
enqueued ~13.6MB into the pipe at once; a `pty.data` echo emitted
mid-stream queued behind ALL of it. At 2MB/s WAN that is multiple seconds
of echo delay per open file. The reproduced measurement: 4,195,592 bytes
(the entire remaining 3MB test file, framed) queued ahead of one echo
frame.
2. **Client-side O(n²) frame buffering (secondary).** `FrameDecoder.feed()`
in both `src/main/ssh/relay-protocol.ts` and `src/relay/protocol.ts` did
`Buffer.concat([buffered, chunk])` per data event, re-copying the whole
backlog for every ~32KB TCP chunk — ~2MB of memcpy per 340KB frame,
~80MB per 10MB file — on the Electron main thread, delaying `pty:write`
IPC dispatch and echo delivery to the renderer.
## Fix
- **Bulk lane with sink backpressure** (`RelayDispatcher.notifyBulk`):
`fs.streamChunk` frames are serialized per client and each send waits for
the sink's `drain` when `write()` returns `false`. Interactive frames
(`pty.data`) still use plain `notify()` and are admitted immediately —
because the bulk lane keeps the outbound buffer at ~1 frame, an echo jumps
ahead of every not-yet-admitted chunk. Sinks (`relay.ts` stdout + Unix
socket clients) surface `write()`'s boolean and a one-shot
`waitWriteDrain`; every death path (EPIPE, stdin end, detach, dispose)
flushes parked waiters so a pump can never hang on a dead pipe.
- **Credit-based flow control** (`fs.streamAck`): the client requests
streams with `flowControl: 'ack'` and acks each processed chunk; the relay
caps unacked chunks at `STREAM_ACK_WINDOW_CHUNKS = 4` (~1MB raw). This
bounds in-flight bulk bytes even past the relay's own pipe (sshd/TCP
buffers) and paces the relay's base64/JSON encode loop so incoming
keystroke frames get event-loop turns. A parked pump wakes on ack, cancel,
release, client detach, and a 1s staleness recheck.
- **Cross-version compatibility**: old client + new relay → no
`flowControl` param → legacy unpaced pump (still drain-bounded, which is
transparent). New client + old relay → `fs.streamAck` is an unknown
notification and is silently ignored. `STREAM_CHUNK_SIZE` (256KB) is
intentionally unchanged — both sides bake it into chunk offset math, so
changing it would corrupt cross-version streams.
- **FrameDecoder rewrite** (both mirrored protocol files): chunk-list
buffering; each frame is assembled exactly once (one copy) instead of
re-concatenating the backlog per feed.
## What Stays Fast / Unchanged
- Relay PTY output batching (interactive echo fast path in
`src/relay/pty-handler.ts`) is untouched.
- No `listSessions()` / provider inventory was added anywhere near typing,
focus, switch, resume, resize, or render paths.
- Remote file streaming correctness: per-chunk length checks, chunk-count and
byte-count invariants, cancel paths, and the 12MB round-trip integration
test all pass unchanged.
## Regression Coverage
- `src/relay/fs-stream-pty-echo-backpressure.integration.test.ts` — real
mux ↔ dispatcher ↔ FsHandler over a congestible in-memory pipe; asserts
deterministic BYTE bounds (not wall-clock): echo queues behind < 2 framed
chunks when congested (pre-fix: whole file), ack window caps in-flight
chunks, legacy no-ack clients still get complete streams.
- `src/relay/fs-handler-stream.test.ts` — pump parks at the ack window,
resumes per ack, and releases its file handle when cancelled while parked.
- `src/relay/dispatcher.test.ts` — notifyBulk semantics: drain gating,
per-client targeting, dispose releases parked senders, interactive
notify() not gated behind a stalled bulk lane.
- `src/main/ssh/relay-protocol.test.ts` — decoder byte-at-a-time boundary
straddling, oversized-frame resync across odd chunk sizes, and a
no-`Buffer.concat`-during-feed guard that locks out the O(n²) shape.
- `tests/e2e/ssh-docker-relay-perf.spec.ts` — new "busy relay" scenario:
types while two 8MB remote file-read loops and a git.status loop run;
budgets median < 500ms, worst < 2000ms. (On loopback Docker the pre-fix
HOL is only tens of ms — the in-process byte-bound test is the
authoritative red/green; the e2e guards the end-to-end wiring.)
## Residual Gaps
- **Large single-frame responses**: `git.*` responses (stdout capped at
`MAX_GIT_BUFFER` = 10MB → ~13MB framed) and other request/response results
are one atomic frame on the wire; a huge diff can still delay an echo by
its own transfer time. Fixing this requires response chunking (a protocol
change); bounded by the 16MB `MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE`.
- **Outbound direction**: a large `fs.writeFile` request frame (client →
relay) can queue ahead of keystroke `pty.data` frames on `channel.stdin`.
Same shape, opposite direction, rarer trigger (saving a large remote file
while typing).
- `pty.ackData` flow control for PTY output remains unenforced
(`src/relay/pty-handler.ts` — "not yet enforced"); PTY output floods are
already paced by the relay's 8ms batch/16KB slice scheduler.

# Telemetry Availability
Append-only reference for dashboard authors. Use this file to answer: "From what date is this event or property trustworthy enough to chart?"
This file records operational availability. Event contracts still live in `src/shared/telemetry-events.ts`, and dashboard/query examples live with the dashboard work that introduced them.
## How To Use
- Prefer `dashboard_ready_at_utc` as the lower bound for saved PostHog retention, funnel, and cohort tiles.
- If `dashboard_ready_at_utc` is `TBD`, do not save production cohort or retention tiles. QA/exploratory charts may proceed only after checking first-seen evidence, and their descriptions must say the boundary is not final.
- Use the latest required first-valid timestamp when a dashboard depends on multiple signals. An earlier timestamp may prove one event exists while a join key or depth field is still absent, which silently biases cohorts.
- Do not save a cohort chart from one isolated first-seen row.
- Mention rollout boundaries in saved insight descriptions when querying across pre-rollout data.
- Do not add these timestamps to telemetry payloads. They are repo-side interpretation metadata.
## Boundary Fields
| Field | Meaning |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `code_merged_at_utc` | When the implementation reached `main`. Useful for source history only. |
| `first_released_at_utc` | First release commit/build that contains the code. This is the earliest possible user exposure. |
| `first_seen_at_utc` | First observed PostHog row for the event/property. This proves at least one event flowed. |
| `dashboard_ready_at_utc` | Earliest lower bound for saved dashboards after all required signals have first-valid rows and pass any validation window. |
First-valid means the released app version has been observed, the required event/property fields are populated, joins used by the dashboard are available, and any validation window listed in the rollout entry has passed.
D1+/D3+/D7+ retention means the user fired `app_opened` at least once after 24/72/168 hours from cohort start, matching the existing dashboards' mature-denominator logic. Do not read D3/D7 as exactly-on-day returns, and do not include users whose cohort start is too recent to satisfy the relevant window.
## Cross-Cutting Rules
- `app_opened` is the return marker. It fires once per app session after telemetry consent/gating resolves.
- `nth_repo_added = 0` means the user had no repos at emit time. It is not a missing-value sentinel.
- Missing `nth_repo_added` means the classifier failed soft or the event predates the property. Do not bucket it with `0`.
- Main injects `nth_repo_added` only into schemas that declare the field, and injects onboarding `cohort` only into schemas that declare `cohort`.
- `onboarding_started { cohort: 'fresh_install' }` is the fresh-install anchor. `upgrade_backfill` rows should not be mixed into new-user onboarding funnels.
- Classify a user's fresh-install onboarding cohort from the first `onboarding_started { cohort: 'fresh_install' }` and carry that forward. Existing-user classification can flip after live completion is persisted, so later event-level `cohort` values are not a replacement for the start anchor.
- Numeric onboarding step values are rollout-specific. Prefer `value_kind` when the relevant event/property is available.
- Current `onboarding_step_skipped` means an optional preference/setup step was skipped toward required project setup. It does not mean the user abandoned repo setup.
- `source = 'unknown'` is not a real product surface. It means the caller omitted a source or the value failed schema validation.
- `workspace_created` means create-worktree IPC succeeded. It is not a general "usable workspace exists" or "workspace revealed" marker.
- `add_repo_setup_step_action` is a historical post-add choice-screen event. Current Add Project flows auto-open the default checkout or reveal the project row, so absence of this event after the default-checkout handoff rollout is expected and should not be read as setup abandonment.
- `add_repo_existing_workspaces_detected` is a detection signal for migration opportunity, not proof that a user chose an existing workspace. Current Add Project flows may emit it before automatically opening the default checkout.
- `add_repo_default_checkout_handoff.result = 'revealed_project'` means Orca could not confidently open the default checkout and instead revealed the newly added project row. It is the direct fallback metric for the 2026-06-03 Add Project handoff rollout.
- `agent_started` means PTY spawn succeeded with agent telemetry attached. It is not first-repo activation and does not prove the user sent a prompt.
- `agent_prompt_sent` means a live agent hook observed an explicit non-empty user prompt. It excludes hydrated/replayed status, agent auto-start, bare shells, draft prefill, and hookless sessions; missing rows mean no hook-confirmed interaction was observed, not proof the user never typed.
- Workspace-outcome joins are native Electron coverage unless the query explicitly proves remote/web instrumentation. Remote runtime and web paths can bypass native repo/worktree telemetry, so do not interpret missing workspace outcome rows as product drop-off for SSH, remote, or web users.
## Rollouts
### 2026-05-08 - Repo Cohort Property
Scope: `nth_repo_added` on repo/activation/retention events. Current schemas declare it on `app_opened`, `repo_added`, `add_repo_setup_step_action`, `add_repo_existing_workspaces_detected`, `add_repo_default_checkout_handoff`, `workspace_created`, `workspace_create_failed`, `setup_script_prompt_shown`, `setup_script_prompt_action`, `agent_started`, `agent_prompt_sent`, and `agent_error`. The original rollout covered `app_opened`, `repo_added`, `add_repo_setup_step_action`, `workspace_created`, `workspace_create_failed`, `agent_started`, and `agent_error`; later events have their own first-seen timestamps below.

Dashboard caveats:
- Earlier rows do not have `nth_repo_added`; show them as pre-rollout or exclude them from repo-count cohorts.
- A dashboard that depends on a specific event must use that event's first-seen timestamp, not the earliest `app_opened` timestamp.
- `repo_added nth_repo_added = 1` is the first-repo activation marker.
- `add_repo_setup_step_action` is only representative of the old post-add choice-screen funnel. After the 2026-06-03 default-checkout handoff change below, Add Project no longer shows that choice screen during the normal Git add/clone/create/onboarding paths.
### 2026-05-09 - Onboarding Cohort Injection
Scope: `cohort` on onboarding events. Current schemas declare it on `onboarding_started`, `onboarding_step_viewed`, `onboarding_step_completed`, `onboarding_step_skipped`, `onboarding_tour_outcome`, `onboarding_step4_path_clicked`, `onboarding_step4_path_failed`, `onboarding_task_sources_snapshot`, `onboarding_windows_terminal_snapshot`, `onboarding_completed`, `onboarding_dismissed`, `onboarding_agent_picked`, onboarding import/setup events, `onboarding_feature_setup_toggled`, `onboarding_feature_setup_run`, `onboarding_feature_setup_terminal_opened`, and `onboarding_feature_setup_terminal_interacted`. See `src/shared/telemetry-events.ts` for the exact current roster.
The original `#1608` rollout covered `onboarding_started`, `onboarding_step_viewed`, `onboarding_step_completed`, `onboarding_step_skipped`, `onboarding_step4_path_clicked`, `onboarding_step4_path_failed`, `onboarding_completed`, `onboarding_dismissed`, `onboarding_agent_picked`, and onboarding import events. Later onboarding events joined the roster by declaring `cohort` in their schemas.

Dashboard caveats:
- Use `onboarding_started { cohort: 'fresh_install' }` as the new-user denominator.
- Keep the single observed `upgrade_backfill` rows out of fresh-install funnels.
- `onboarding_step_completed` had semantic `value_kind` before the tour instrumentation, but `onboarding_step_viewed` and `onboarding_step_skipped` only became semantic-step-safe with the tour telemetry rollout below.
- Later onboarding events joined the `cohort` roster by declaring `cohort` in their schema. Use event-specific first-seen timestamps for tiles that depend on those later events.
- `onboarding_task_sources_snapshot` fires only when the integrations step exits through Continue or Skip to project setup. Viewing integrations and leaving does not emit the snapshot.
- Old numeric step analysis must be scoped to the flow version being analyzed.
### 2026-05-14 - Feature Wall Base Telemetry
Scope: first feature-wall tour event family before the inline onboarding tour. This added base open/close and tile activity telemetry. Historical `feature_wall_closed` rows from this rollout have `dwell_ms`; the source/depth fields needed for tour cohort retention only arrive in the later tour telemetry rollout.

Dashboard caveats:

- Historical `feature_wall_closed` null `source`/depth fields are pre-rollout absence, not product behavior.
### 2026-05-23 - Inline Tour Surface
Scope: optional "Explore Orca" tour during onboarding and the Help menu entry point. This shipped the product surface, not the full retention cohort instrumentation. It also added `source = 'onboarding'` to the feature-wall open source enum and added feature-wall group/feature/docs click events with source.

Dashboard caveats:
- `feature_wall_opened { source: 'onboarding' }` is a release-availability signal for the inline surface, not the canonical tour cohort assignment.
- Use this boundary only for exploratory checks that do not require the new outcome/depth fields.
- Tour cohorts are observational and self-selected. Do not use causal "lift" or "impact" language unless a separate experiment supports it.
### 2026-05-23 - Onboarding Tour Retention Telemetry
Scope: low-cardinality telemetry that makes inline-tour cohort retention dashboards possible.
Current status: the inline first-run onboarding tour was later removed from active onboarding after PR #2734 moved these education/setup moments to contextual feature tours and the Getting started with Orca guide. The historical schemas still accept seven-step `tour`/`agent_setup` onboarding rows for compatibility, but current active onboarding should not emit new `onboarding_step_* { value_kind: 'tour' }` rows.
Added/changed signals:
- `onboarding_tour_outcome` with `outcome`, intro/tour duration fields, optional tour depth fields, `advanced_via`, and injected onboarding `cohort`.
- `onboarding_step_viewed.value_kind` and `onboarding_step_skipped.value_kind`, including `value_kind = 'tour'`.
- `feature_wall_closed` optional `source`, `exit_action`, `furthest_step`, `last_group_id`, and bounded visited/completed depth counts.
- `feature_wall_opened { source: 'onboarding' }` through the inline tour surface.

PostHog evidence checked at `2026-05-23T23:34:32Z`:
- `1.4.23-rc.0` had app traffic from `2026-05-23T20:54:12.343Z` through `2026-05-23T22:59:47.599Z`.
- No `1.4.23-rc.1` or `1.4.23-rc.2` app traffic was observed in the checked query window.
- No rows were observed for `onboarding_tour_outcome`, `onboarding_step_viewed { value_kind: 'tour' }`, `onboarding_step_skipped { value_kind: 'tour' }`, `feature_wall_opened { source: 'onboarding' }`, or `feature_wall_closed` with the new source/depth fields.
- No rows were observed for `feature_wall_group_selected`, `feature_wall_feature_selected`, or `feature_wall_docs_clicked` in the checked query window.
Dashboard readiness rule:
Set this rollout's `dashboard_ready_at_utc` to the latest first-valid timestamp across the required readiness signals, then use that as the lower bound. If a query uses a local variable, name it `tour_telemetry_ready_at_utc` and assign it to the same value. After first-seen rows exist, keep saved cohort tiles in QA/exploratory mode until there is at least a 24-hour validation window where reached-tour users reconcile to exactly one primary inline cohort and closed tour sessions include depth fields.
Invalid before this rollout's `dashboard_ready_at_utc`:
- Tour cohort onboarding completion/progress.
- Corrected onboarding outcome split by tour cohort.
- Tour depth before abandonment.
- Skipped-tour later Help recovery.
- D1/D3/D7 retention by tour cohort, until cohorts are also old enough for each maturity window.
- Numeric-step max-progress charts unless segmented by rollout or app version.
Primary cohort interpretation:
- Historical denominator for inline completed/partial/skipped rates: `onboarding_step_viewed { value_kind: 'tour' }` after this rollout's `dashboard_ready_at_utc`. Do not use this as a current active-onboarding readiness signal after the PR #2734 education handoff.
- `onboarding_tour_outcome.outcome = 'completed_inline'` means the user completed the inline tour during fresh onboarding.
- `onboarding_tour_outcome.outcome = 'started_partial'` means the user started the inline tour but the fresh onboarding session resolved without inline completion.
- `onboarding_tour_outcome.outcome = 'skipped_intro'` means the user reached the tour intro and skipped without starting the inline tour.
- Users who started onboarding but never reached the tour intro are `pre_tour_abandoned`, not `unresolved_inline_outcome`.
- Users who reached the tour intro but have no outcome event are `unresolved_inline_outcome`; monitor this as a telemetry QA gap.
- Later Help menu tour usage is an overlay on the user's inline cohort. It does not replace the primary inline outcome.
- `completed_inline` wins over earlier partial state if the user returns and completes during the fresh onboarding session.
- `started_partial` resolves only after the user started the inline tour and the fresh onboarding session resolves without inline completion.
- `skipped_intro` intentionally has no `tour_dwell_ms` or depth fields.
Feature-wall close interpretation:
- `feature_wall_closed.dwell_ms` is session-close dwell time.
- `feature_wall_closed.source` is the entry point (`onboarding`, `help_menu`, `popup`, or `unknown`).
- `exit_action = 'onboarding_continue'` means the inline onboarding tour ended through Continue to project setup.
- `exit_action = 'done'` means a non-onboarding tour session ended through Done.
- `exit_action = 'dismissed'` is the default close/unmount path.
- Depth fields are per explicit tour session. Persisted completion state can affect UI progress but must not be interpreted as current-session depth.
- Missing/null `feature_wall_closed.source` or depth fields mean the row predates the expanded schema, came from an older app version, or failed field coverage. Do not bucket null with `source = 'unknown'`; exclude it from source/depth cohort tiles or show it as a telemetry coverage gap.
### 2026-06-02 - Active Onboarding Step Removal
Scope: active first-run onboarding no longer emits the `agent_setup` or `tour` semantic steps. The removed "Set up Orca for agents" and "Explore Orca" education/setup moments are covered by PR #2734 through contextual feature tours and the Getting started with Orca guide.
This is a product-flow and telemetry-interpretation boundary, not a new event rollout. Historical onboarding schemas still accept seven-step `agent_setup` and `tour` rows so old data remains queryable, but dashboard authors should not expect new active-onboarding rows for those semantic steps after this rollout.

Dashboard caveats:
- Treat `onboarding_step_* { value_kind: 'agent_setup' }`, `onboarding_step_* { value_kind: 'tour' }`, and `onboarding_tour_outcome` as historical first-run onboarding signals after this rollout.
- Do not use absence of new `agent_setup` or `tour` onboarding rows as a drop-off signal; those steps no longer exist in active onboarding.
- Segment numeric onboarding step analysis across this boundary. The active final step changed from seven-step onboarding to the five-step active flow.
- Continue using `contextual_tour_shown` and `contextual_tour_outcome` from PR #2734 for current feature-education exposure and outcome analysis.
### 2026-06-03 - Final Code Onboarding Step Removal
Scope: active first-run onboarding no longer emits the final code/project picker step. The notifications step is now the final step, and completing it opens the Add Project modal.
This is a product-flow and telemetry-interpretation boundary, not a new event rollout. Historical onboarding schemas still accept five-step rows so old data remains queryable, but dashboard authors should not expect new active-onboarding rows for the removed final code/project picker step after this rollout.

Dashboard caveats:
- Treat `onboarding_step_*` rows for the removed final code/project picker step as historical first-run onboarding signals after this rollout.
- Segment numeric onboarding step analysis across this boundary. At this boundary, the active final step changed from the five-step active flow to `ONBOARDING_FINAL_STEP = 4`; later onboarding step rollouts may supersede that final-step value.
- Do not use absence of new final code/project picker rows as a drop-off signal; that step no longer exists in active onboarding.
### 2026-06-03 - Add Project Default Checkout Handoff
Scope: Add Project handoff telemetry and interpretation change. The Git add/clone/create/onboarding flows no longer show the post-add setup-choice screen; they close the add modal and open the project/default checkout when available. If no default checkout is available, they reveal the project row instead.
`repo_added` remains the add/import marker. `add_repo_existing_workspaces_detected` remains a low-cardinality detection event for pre-existing non-main workspaces on local folder, runtime server path, and SSH server path adds. `add_repo_default_checkout_handoff` is the direct rollout-health event for the automatic handoff decision.

| `first_seen_at_utc` | `TBD` on `add_repo_default_checkout_handoff` |
| `dashboard_ready_at_utc` | Use the first release boundary once known for charts that compare setup-choice usage. |
Dashboard caveats:
- Treat `add_repo_setup_step_action` rows after this rollout as historical compatibility or stale modal cleanup only, not the normal Add Project funnel.
- Do not build current-flow conversion funnels that require `repo_added -> add_repo_setup_step_action`; the normal next step is an automatic workspace reveal/open, not a tracked user choice.
- Use `add_repo_existing_workspaces_detected` to estimate how often added projects had non-main existing workspaces, but do not infer the user selected "use existing worktrees" because that choice no longer exists in the normal flow.
- Use `add_repo_default_checkout_handoff` for the current handoff outcome. `result = 'opened_default_checkout'` is the expected path; `result = 'revealed_project'` is the graceful fallback. Break down fallback rows by `source` and `reason`.
### 2026-06-10 - Repo Added Git-vs-Folder Signal
Scope: `repo_added.is_git_repo` replaces the retired `onboarding_completed.is_git_repo` split for git-vs-folder analysis. Project selection moved out of onboarding in the 1.4.46 flow, so `onboarding_completed` now fires before any repo is chosen. After that boundary, the old `onboarding_completed.is_git_repo` value is not a valid git-vs-folder signal.
`repo_added.is_git_repo` is sourced from git detection at the add point. It is optional so SSH/remote paths that genuinely cannot determine git-ness can omit the property instead of defaulting to `false`.

PostHog evidence checked at `2026-06-10T19:00:00Z`:
- Dashboard tile "Fresh-install onboarding completion over time" (`JlIt5J1N`, insight id `9076383`, project `406068`) showed the git-repo share collapse to about 4% while plain-folder completions spiked to about 88% on 2026-06-05.
- Raw `onboarding_completed.is_git_repo` counts by `app_version` showed a version cliff: versions through `1.4.45` were about 80% true, while `1.4.46`, `1.4.47`, and `1.4.48` had zero true rows in the sampled data.
Dashboard caveats:
- Treat `onboarding_completed.is_git_repo` as historical only after app version `1.4.45`.
- Do not stitch historical `onboarding_completed.is_git_repo` and new `repo_added.is_git_repo` series without an explicit version boundary and label change; they are emitted at different funnel moments.
- Repoint dashboard tile `JlIt5J1N` to use `repo_added.is_git_repo` once the new field is observed in release telemetry.
- Omitted `repo_added.is_git_repo` means unknown/degraded detection, not plain folder. Only explicit `false` means plain folder.
### 2026-06-16 - Windows Terminal Preferences Onboarding Step
Scope: Windows first-run onboarding adds a terminal preferences step before notifications. The step lets users choose the default Windows terminal shell and right-click paste/menu behavior before their first project handoff.
`onboarding_step_*` rows can now emit `value_kind = 'windows_terminal'` at step `4`. Notifications move to step `5`, so `ONBOARDING_FINAL_STEP = 5` for current active onboarding. Non-Windows clients skip the Windows terminal step but still persist through the skipped step so resumed onboarding lands on notifications. `onboarding_windows_terminal_snapshot` records the low-cardinality selected shell bucket, right-click behavior, exit action, duration, and advance method when the visible Windows terminal step exits.

Dashboard caveats:
- Segment numeric onboarding step analysis across this boundary. Step `4` is Windows terminal preferences in the current flow, but was notifications in the previous active flow.
- Use `value_kind` rather than numeric `step` when comparing notifications or Windows terminal setup across releases.
- Non-Windows users can have persisted `lastCompletedStep` values that include the skipped Windows step; do not treat that as evidence they viewed the Windows terminal page.
- `onboarding_windows_terminal_snapshot.default_shell = 'other'` means Orca could not bucket the persisted setting. It is not a raw shell path and should be monitored as telemetry quality, not a product choice.
## Updating This File
When adding or changing telemetry that dashboard authors will depend on:
1. Add or update one rollout entry in this file.
2. Record PR, merge commit, first release, release commit, `first_released_at_utc`, `first_seen_at_utc`, and `dashboard_ready_at_utc`.
3. Include the app version/build on first-seen rows when it is available.
4. Add `PostHog evidence checked at ...` with the UTC query time.
5. If dashboard readiness depends on multiple signals, add a required readiness signal table and set `dashboard_ready_at_utc` only after all of them are first-valid.
6. Add dashboard caveats for pre-rollout rows, missing/null fields, and maturity windows.
7. Keep product-specific facts here, not in agent instructions or telemetry payloads.

# Cold-park reveal cost — measured
Companion to [`terminal-hidden-view-parking.md`](./terminal-hidden-view-parking.md).
Quantifies the reveal latency a user pays when returning to a terminal whose
hidden view was cold-parked, so the keep-warm policy is tuned from data rather
than guessed. Motivated by field reports that "terminal mounting is jumpy —
switching to a worktree after a while takes ~1s".
## How to reproduce
```bash
pnpm bench:cold-park-reveal -- --cycles=12 # empty shell
pnpm bench:cold-park-reveal -- --cycles=10 --scrollback-lines=5000
pnpm bench:cold-park-reveal -- --cycles=10 --scrollback-lines=20000
```
The bench (`tools/benchmarks/terminal-cold-park-reveal-bench.mjs`) drives the
real dev app over CDP. Each cycle times a **cold** reveal (tab confirmed parked
via `window.__terminalParkingDebug.parkedTabIds()` before revealing) and a
**warm** reveal (revealed inside the hot-retain window, confirmed not parked),
so the cold−warm delta is the isolated cost of parking. It shrinks the 30s
hysteresis with `ORCA_E2E_TERMINAL_PARKING_DELAY_MS` and roots userData under a
short `~/.ocpb` path — the default `/var/folders` tmp path overruns the macOS
104-char Unix-socket limit, the daemon fails to bind, and terminals fall back to
non-snapshot PTYs that never park.
Phases per reveal (ms from the switch-back click): `activationMs` (store active
worktree flips), `ptyBindMs` (revealed pane has a bound pty — xterm remounted
and attached), `paintSettleMs` (two RAFs after ptyBind).
## Results (macOS, dev app, medians / p95)
| Scrollback | warm paintSettle | cold paintSettle | **cold-park penalty** |
| ---------- | ---------------- | ---------------- | --------------------- |
| empty shell | 104 ms | 264 / 298 ms | **+160 ms** |
| 5 000 lines | 131 ms | 318 / 423 ms | **+187 ms** |
| 20 000 lines | 102 ms | 266 / 286 ms | **+164 ms** |
All cold samples confirmed parked (`parkedConfirmed = N/N`); all warm samples
confirmed not parked.
## Finding
**The cold-park reveal penalty is ~160–190 ms and effectively flat across buffer
size.** Growing scrollback 0 → 20 000 lines did not grow the penalty (the 20k
run is within noise of empty). So the cost is **fixed remount overhead** — React
subtree teardown/rebuild, fresh xterm construction, WebGL attach, fit, and the
reattach reset — **not** daemon snapshot replay, which scales fine.
Implications for tuning:
- The lever is **how often a remount happens**, not how much is replayed.
Widening the keep-warm working set (worktree hot-retain limit is 4, tabs 12)
and never parking the last-active tab per worktree remove remounts entirely
for the common switch-away-and-back, which is worth more than shaving the
~170 ms remount itself.
- Pre-warming a predicted reveal (sidebar hover, jump-palette selection) hides
the fixed cost behind the navigation instead of eliminating it.
- This synthetic terminal is a plain shell. A live agent TUI in the alternate
screen pays additional reattach-reset + mode-rehydrate work on reveal (see the
Grok-scrollback reattach path), so real-world cold reveals of a busy agent
pane can exceed these numbers — the ~170 ms here is a floor for the mount
overhead, not a ceiling for the full experience.
## Is parking worth having? (benefit side)
`tools/benchmarks/terminal-cold-park-resource-bench.mjs`
(`pnpm bench:cold-park-resource`) A/Bs the `terminalHiddenViewParking` setting
in one session: mount N worktree terminals, background all but one, then read
resources with parking off vs on. Measured at 8 backgrounded worktrees
(5 000-line scrollback each):
| metric | parking off | parking on | released |
| ------ | ----------- | ---------- | -------- |
| mounted pane managers | 9 | 1 | **8** |
| DOM nodes | 2 941 | 1 389 | **1 552** |
| attached WebGL contexts | 1 | 1 | **0** |
So parking's unique win is **releasing every hidden terminal's mounted view** —
8 xterm instances + their DOM subtrees (~1 550 nodes) here. At xterm's default
5 000-row scrollback, each terminal buffer alone is ≥ ~4–5 MB of typed-array
cell data (12 bytes/cell × 80 cols × 5 000 rows), so the renderer-memory floor
is on the order of **several MB per hidden terminal** — tens of MB across a
many-worktree session, before DOM and addon overhead.
Two honest caveats on the numbers:
- The **WebGL-context budget is NOT parking's win.** Even with parking off, only
one context was attached across 9 mounted terminals — the separate
WebGL-suspend-on-hide path (`suspendRendering`) already releases hidden panes'
contexts. So the #6874 context-exhaustion protection stands with or without
parking; parking's benefit is renderer memory + DOM, not contexts.
- The measured JS-heap delta was small (~1.7 MB) because detached xterm
typed-array buffers GC lazily and the first measurement ran before they were
reclaimed. The bench was upgraded to force multi-pass GC and read whole-app
process memory (`window.api.memory.getSnapshot`), but a machine under disk +
memory pressure could not complete the upgraded run (esbuild dev-service
crashes). Re-run the upgraded bench on a healthy machine to get the settled
whole-app memory figure; the pane-manager / DOM release above is the robust,
reproducible part.
### Verdict
Parking earns its keep for the **many-worktree power user** (the reporter's
profile): it is the only mechanism that frees hidden terminals' view memory and
DOM, which is the dominant renderer cost at scale. It does **not** provide the
GPU-context protection (that is suspend-on-hide's job). The reveal price is a
flat ~170 ms remount. Net: keep it, and tune the keep-warm caps so the common
few-worktree rotation never pays the remount.
### Tuning applied
Because the reveal cost is a fixed remount, the levers are all about
**frequency**, not replay size. Three changes to
`terminal-hidden-view-parking.ts`:
- **Worktree hot-retain limit 4 → 8.** Eight covers the ordinary working set;
at the ~4–5 MB renderer floor per hidden worktree that is ~16–20 MB worst
case to eliminate remounts for the common rotation. Beyond 8, parking still
reclaims for the heavy tail it was built for.
- **Hot-retain TTL 5 min → 15 min** (worktree and tab). The cap, not the clock,
is the primary evictor now; 5 min was aggressive enough that a meeting-length
absence parked the whole warm set. The tab count cap stays 12 (already
generous).
- **Last-active exemption.** The single most-recently-hidden worktree/tab is
never parked, regardless of TTL or cap, so returning to the view you just
left is always instant. Implemented in `selectIdsBeyondHotRetain`; it holds
one warm slot and counts against the cap.
Not done (deliberately): pre-warm on predicted reveal — it hides the cost
behind navigation rather than removing it and adds hover/prediction complexity;
and the 30 s cold-park delay is unchanged (it is the quick-flip guard).

# Terminal Hidden View Parking
Status: Shipped — Phase 1 of the terminal model/view architecture, kill switch
`terminalHiddenViewParking` (default on). See
[`terminal-model-view-contract.md`](./terminal-model-view-contract.md) for the
invariants this design extends and the full phase list.
## Problem
Hidden terminal panes keep a full renderer xterm instance alive (buffer,
scrollback, DOM, addons). At many-worktree scale this is the dominant renderer
memory cost, and it forces every hidden byte through renderer-side write/skip
decisions. The main-process model (daemon + runtime headless emulators) already
ingests every byte and can serve restorable snapshots, so the renderer view for
a long-hidden pane is redundant state.
A previous attempt shipped and was reverted the same day. The post-mortem
finding: parking unmounted the pane component, which also tore down the
renderer's PTY byte parsers — and those parsers are the only source of bell
notifications, title-transition agent-complete notifications, and tab titles.
A parked worktree whose agent finished would never notify. This design keeps
those side effects alive while parked.
## Design
### Park policy (renderer)
A pure policy module decides which hidden terminal tabs may park:
- Cold-park hysteresis: a tab must be hidden for 30s before parking.
- Hot-retain working set: recently visible worktrees/tabs are retained
(15 minutes; up to 8 worktrees / 12 tabs) so quick tab switches never pay a
re-hydrate. The single most-recently-hidden (last-active) worktree/tab is
exempt from both the retain TTL and the count cap, so switching back to the
view you just left is always instant regardless of how long you were away.
See `terminal-cold-park-reveal-cost.md` for the data behind these caps.
- Eligibility excludes: visible panes, hidden-measuring startup probes,
activity-portal panes, tabs with pending startup commands or pending
activation spawns, floating-panel tabs, and any tab whose PTY is not
snapshot-backed (remote-runtime `remote:` PTYs and SSH PTYs are excluded).
- Kill switch: `settings.terminalHiddenViewParking === false` disables parking
entirely.
### Park mechanics
Parking a tab unmounts its `TerminalPane` React subtree (the overlay layer
renders null for parked tabs). This is the same teardown that tab-group moves
already exercise: transports detach but the PTY session, daemon model, and tab
state all survive. The xterm instance, its buffers, DOM, and WebGL/addon
resources are released.
### Parked watcher (the piece the reverted attempt lacked)
While a tab is parked, a pane-less watcher
(`parked-terminal-byte-watcher.ts`) keeps the pane's side effects alive. Its
consumption mode is decided once at watcher start:
- **Main side-effect authority on (default):** the watcher is purely
fact-driven — it registers exactly one `pty:sideEffect` fact consumer and
parses no bytes. Titles, agent working/idle/exited transitions, BEL
attention, and PR links arrive as main-tracker facts and drive the same
policy callbacks a mounted pane uses. With the hidden-delivery gate also on,
the watcher marks the PTY hidden so main stops renderer byte delivery
entirely; the DECSET 2031 color-scheme subscribe arrives as main's
`2031-subscribe` fact and the watcher replies out-of-band via
`transport.sendInput`.
- **Kill switch off:** the watcher subscribes to raw bytes through the
dispatcher sidecar mechanism (the same mechanism background agent launches
use) and runs the transport-level byte parsers with no xterm — OSC 0/1/2
titles (all-titles ordering, live-path normalization), the title-transition
agent tracker (completion notification, prompt-cache timer), the OSC-aware
stateful BEL detector, the GitHub PR link scan, and a dedicated DECSET 2031
byte responder (`parked-terminal-mode2031-responder.ts`, whose
`subscribeToPtyData` registration doubles as the delivery-interest signal).
The two modes drive one shared policy-callback block, so flipping the kill
switch never changes notification semantics. Main's synthetic
agent-title/permission frames feed the main tracker directly and arrive as
facts; the legacy synthetic `pty:data` copy exists only in kill-switch-off
mode.
Out of scope while parked: OSC 52 clipboard writes. Terminal queries inside
hidden-dropped chunks are answered by main's model responder
([`terminal-query-authority.md`](./terminal-query-authority.md)); in
kill-switch-off byte mode only the 2031 reply is answered and Command Code
output is not scraped, matching the pre-gate status quo.
### Reveal
Revealing a parked tab remounts the pane subtree and rides the existing
reattach path: fresh xterm via `openTerminal` (unicode provider activation
before any write), daemon model snapshot > relay replay > cold restore
precedence, replay-guarded so snapshot-embedded queries never answer, then
`POST_REPLAY_REATTACH_RESET` hygiene, fit, and PTY resize. The watcher is
disposed before the pane handlers re-register.
## Invariants
1. PTY reads never stop; parking only changes renderer-side view lifetime.
2. Bell, agent-completion, title, and PR-link side effects keep working while
parked (watcher parity tests).
3. Reveal shows model-correct output (visual gates: hidden TUI restore, long
table, rendering golden) and accepts input immediately.
4. Sleep/wake, pane close, and PTY restart while parked must not leak watchers
or strand parked state.
5. Memory: parked tabs hold no xterm buffers; renderer memory scales with
visible panes.
## Relation to later phases (all shipped)
Side-effect authority in main (Phase 3) replaced the watcher's byte parsing
with the `pty:sideEffect` fact consumer; the hidden-delivery gate (Phase 4)
stops hidden byte delivery in main, moving the parked 2031 reply from the
byte sidecar to the `2031-subscribe` fact; the model query responder
(Phase 5) answers queries in hidden-dropped chunks. The watcher's byte-parser
mode survives only behind the kill switches. Parking still excludes
remote-runtime and SSH PTYs (no local snapshot to restore from); the watcher
would return as a byte parser only if remote-runtime tabs — whose bytes never
transit local main — ever became parkable.

# Terminal Model/View Contract
## Goal
Terminal output should have one authoritative model path and many disposable
views. A renderer xterm is the fast interactive view, but it must not be the
only place hidden, remote, mobile, SSH, or CLI-visible terminal state exists.
This contract defines the boundary the shipped terminal stack implements — and
that future terminal work must preserve — without changing the query-response
behavior that real shells and TUIs depend on. See [Architecture
Status](#architecture-status) for the shipped phases.
## Terms
- **PTY stream:** Ordered bytes read from a local PTY, daemon PTY, SSH relay PTY,
or remote runtime PTY.
- **Terminal model:** Main/runtime-owned state derived from PTY bytes. Today this
is mostly the headless emulator plus retained read transcript state.
- **Terminal view:** A renderer xterm, mobile subscriber, remote desktop
subscriber, or CLI read page consuming model state and live output.
- **Snapshot:** A bounded model serialization that can restore a view without
replaying an unbounded byte log.
- **Transcript:** The retained output contract for `orca terminal read`; it is
line/cursor oriented and distinct from a screen snapshot.
## Non-Negotiable Invariants
1. PTY reads do not stop to protect renderer performance. Backpressure may bound
delivery to views, but terminal state, notifications, titles, and agent
status keep advancing from the PTY stream.
2. Active visible terminal input/output stays on the lowest-latency path. Bulk
hidden or background output must not delay keystroke-sized foreground redraws.
3. Hidden views do not own unbounded output memory. Main's hidden-delivery
gate drops renderer-bound bytes for hidden-marked PTYs after model
ingestion and emits an out-of-band restore marker
(`pty:modelRestoreNeeded`) so the view restores from the model on reveal.
With the gate's kill switches off, hidden bytes ride a bounded renderer
queue whose overflow latches the same model restore.
4. Returning to a hidden or slept terminal must show model-correct output. A
stale or replaced view may be cleared and replayed from a snapshot, but it
must not show a warning fallback when model recovery is available.
5. Snapshots and live bytes have ordering metadata. A view restore must not
duplicate bytes already included in the snapshot or drop bytes that arrived
after it. Main buffer snapshots report the pending-delivery start sequence
(`pendingDeliveryStartSeq`) so the renderer reconciles live chunks racing a
restore without misreading foreign sequence domains as duplicates.
6. Terminal query authority is singular and structural: the party that
writes a chunk into a live terminal answers its queries. Visible renderer
and remote views keep xterm authority. Chunks dropped by the
hidden-delivery gate are answered exactly once by the main model
responder, from runtime-emulator state plus renderer-pushed view
attributes. Replayed, seeded, or snapshot bytes are answered by no one.
The daemon emulator never answers. (Amended by Phase 5 — see
[`terminal-query-authority.md`](./terminal-query-authority.md).)
7. The transcript contract stays separate from screen restore. `orca terminal
read` must preserve bounded previews, cursor pagination, partial-line rules,
truncation flags, and total counts even if view snapshots change shape.
8. Local, daemon, SSH, remote runtime, mobile, and CLI paths must either satisfy
the same model/view contract or explicitly report that model recovery is
unavailable.
## Current Owners
| Responsibility | Current owner |
| --- | --- |
| PTY byte source and local/SSH delivery | `src/main/ipc/pty.ts` |
| Hidden-delivery gate (hidden marks, delivery interest, drop accounting, restore markers) | `src/main/ipc/pty-hidden-delivery-gate.ts`, drop sites in `src/main/ipc/pty.ts` and `src/main/ssh/ssh-relay-session.ts` |
| Side-effect parsing and the `pty:sideEffect` facts channel | `src/shared/terminal-output-side-effects.ts` driven from `OrcaRuntimeService.onPtyData`; renderer policy in `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-side-effect-facts-handler.ts` |
| Model query responder and view-attribute bridge | `src/main/runtime/terminal-model-query-authority.ts`, `src/main/daemon/terminal-view-attribute-responder.ts`, `src/main/runtime/terminal-view-attribute-store.ts` |
| Hidden view parking policy and parked watcher | `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-hidden-view-parking.ts`, `parked-terminal-byte-watcher.ts` |
| Daemon PTY state and headless snapshots | `src/main/daemon/headless-emulator.ts` |
| Runtime headless state, retained reads, mobile/session tabs | `src/main/runtime/orca-runtime.ts` |

| Renderer xterm view and hidden restore behavior | `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.ts` |
| Remote desktop runtime xterm transport | `src/renderer/src/runtime/remote-runtime-terminal-multiplexer.ts` |
## Snapshot Contract
A model snapshot must include:
- terminal dimensions used to produce the snapshot;
- enough ANSI state to rehydrate xterm before snapshot content;
- bounded screen and scrollback content;
- title and cwd metadata when known;
- source metadata that distinguishes headless/model snapshots from renderer
fallback snapshots;
- monotonic ordering metadata for live-output reconciliation when available.
A snapshot must not:
- include unbounded transcript history;
- answer terminal queries while replaying into the model;
- overwrite newer live view output with older model output;
- hide that recovery was unavailable for a PTY surface.
## View Contract
A renderer or remote view may:
- write active visible output immediately;
- budget visible inactive output;
- stop receiving hidden output entirely while main's hidden-delivery gate owns
the bytes (model restore on reveal);
- request fresh snapshots for restore, mobile subscription, or explicit remote
snapshot recovery.
A view must:
- keep live-output buffers bounded while a snapshot is in flight;
- apply generation or sequence checks before replaying a snapshot;
- refresh/repaint after replay when xterm/WebGL needs an explicit paint;
- keep side effects such as title, bell, cwd, and agent status flowing from the
PTY/model path (the `pty:sideEffect` facts channel) even while renderer byte
delivery is budgeted, gated, or parked.
## Transcript Contract
The retained read transcript is not a screen dump. It must preserve:
- uncursored bounded latest preview behavior;
- cursor reads over completed retained lines;
- `oldestCursor`, `nextCursor`, `latestCursor`, and `returnedLineCount`;
- partial-line duplication rules;
- `truncated`, `limited`, and total count metadata;
- bounded memory for long partial lines and large output bursts.
Snapshot optimizations must be tested against this transcript contract instead
of assuming xterm scrollback serialization can replace it.
## Required Contract Tests
Before moving more runtime behavior behind the model/view boundary, add or
extend tests that prove:
- headless snapshots rehydrate rich alternate-screen TUI state;
- the daemon emulator never answers DA, DSR, OSC 11, or theme-sensitive
queries (the `session.test.ts` pins are permanent);
- the main runtime responder answers queries only from live chunks the
hidden-delivery gate dropped — never delivered, replayed, seeded, or
remote-subscribed chunks;
- hidden renderer overflow restores from model state without duplicate live
output;
- sleep/wake and worktree revisit restore from model-correct state;
- SSH-backed PTYs follow the same snapshot and ordering semantics as local PTYs;
- remote runtime multiplex output remains ACK bounded and can request recovery
snapshots;
- mobile subscribers receive bounded snapshots without unbounded pending live
output;
- retained terminal reads remain pageable and bounded after large output.
Current coverage is spread across:
- `src/main/daemon/headless-emulator.test.ts`
- `src/main/daemon/session.test.ts`
- `src/main/ipc/pty.test.ts` (hidden-gate drops, restore markers,
`pendingDeliveryStartSeq`)

- `tests/e2e/artificial-opencode-terminal-load.spec.ts`
## Architecture Status
All six phases of the terminal model/view architecture are shipped; the kill
switches noted in parentheses default on:
1. **Hidden view parking** — "Park hidden terminal views behind a byte
watcher": hidden terminal tabs unmount their xterm after a cold-park
hysteresis; a pane-less watcher keeps bell/title/agent/PR side effects
alive while parked (`terminalHiddenViewParking`). See
[`terminal-hidden-view-parking.md`](./terminal-hidden-view-parking.md).
2. **Parked memory benchmarks** — "Benchmark parked hidden terminal memory":
renderer heap and live-terminal counts gate parking in the perf suite
(`tests/e2e/terminal-parked-memory.spec.ts`).
3. **Side-effect authority in main** — "Track terminal titles in main with
all-titles ordering", "Move terminal side-effect authority to a main facts
channel", "Complete terminal side-effect facts coverage", "Finish terminal
side-effect authority migration": every local/daemon/SSH PTY byte is
side-effect-parsed once in main and delivered as `pty:sideEffect` facts
(`terminalMainSideEffectAuthority`). See
[`terminal-side-effect-authority.md`](./terminal-side-effect-authority.md).
4. **Hidden delivery gate** — "Gate PTY delivery to hidden terminal views":
main drops renderer-bound bytes for hidden-marked PTYs after model
ingestion; delivery-interest registrations exempt sidecar byte consumers,
out-of-band restore markers latch model restore, and
`pendingDeliveryStartSeq` reconciles live output racing a restore
(`terminalHiddenDeliveryGate`).
5. **Model query authority** — "Answer hidden terminal queries from the
model", "Bridge renderer view attributes to the model responder", "Align
query authority contract and spawn-time ownership": hidden-dropped queries
are answered by the runtime emulator plus renderer-pushed view attributes,
and hidden-at-spawn PTYs are marked before byte one
(`terminalModelQueryAuthority`). See
[`terminal-query-authority.md`](./terminal-query-authority.md).
6. **Skip grammar deletion** — "Delete the hidden renderer skip grammar": the
renderer's per-chunk hidden-skip eligibility grammar and the 10s codex
startup query window are deleted; the kill-switch-off fallback is the
bounded background queue with overflow-latched model restore.
Treat every hidden/slept/revisited TUI glitch as a contract failure, not as a
local repaint quirk. Renderer fallback paths retire only when their kill
switches do, and only after the equivalent model path has platform and TUI
golden coverage.

# Terminal Query Authority
Status: Shipped — Phase 5 of the terminal model/view architecture, kill
switch `terminalModelQueryAuthority` (default on). Builds on
[`terminal-model-view-contract.md`](./terminal-model-view-contract.md) (this
phase **amends invariant 6**),
[`terminal-side-effect-authority.md`](./terminal-side-effect-authority.md)
(Phase 3), and the Phase-4 hidden-delivery gate
(`src/main/ipc/pty-hidden-delivery-gate.ts`).
## Problem
Phase 4 drops renderer-bound bytes for hidden-gated PTYs after model ingestion
(`src/main/ipc/pty.ts:1426,1515`, `src/main/ssh/ssh-relay-session.ts:931`).
Queries embedded in dropped bytes get no reply: DA1 (ConPTY 1.22+ blocks
waiting for it — `terminal-conpty-device-attributes.ts:22`), CPR probes hang
TUIs, OSC 10/11 leaves `claude /theme` blind while hidden. The pre-Phase-4
hidden skip latch had the same hole (only mode 2031 and the 10s codex startup
window answered), so this is not a regression — it is the long-standing gap
this phase closes.
Contract invariant 6 ("the model must never answer queries") was written
against a real bug: the daemon emulator replying ahead of the renderer with
default-xterm values (the OSC-11 default-black-background race,
`headless-emulator.ts:86-97`, pinned by `session.test.ts:163-190`). The danger
was never "the model answers" — it was **two answerers for the same bytes**,
one of them with wrong values. Phase 5 keeps the singularity and fixes the
values.
## Decision: the delivery decision is the reply decision
Main answers a query **iff main dropped the chunk that carried it**. The same
per-chunk hidden-gate predicate (`shouldDropHiddenRendererPtyData`) that
decides renderer delivery decides reply ownership, evaluated once,
synchronously, at ingestion:
- Visible/unmarked PTY → chunk delivered → renderer xterm auto-replies via
`Terminal.onData` → `transport.sendInput`, unchanged.
- Hidden-marked, no delivery interest → chunk dropped → main answers from the
runtime headless emulator, via the provider input path (`provider.write`,
same path as `pty:write`; daemon shell-ready write gating and the SSH relay
write apply unchanged).
- Replayed/seeded/snapshot bytes → answered by no one (replay guards on both
sides).
This is structurally exactly-one-responder: a chunk is delivered or dropped,
never both, and each side only answers bytes it actually parsed live. The
mark/unmark ordering, unhide-before-restore, and restore-marker IPC all exist
from Phase 4 and are reused, not duplicated.
Rejected alternatives:
- **Fact-based renderer replies per query class** (the mode-2031 pattern
generalized): needs a main-side detection grammar per query, a fact round
trip per reply, and the renderer cannot answer CPR/DECRPM anyway — the
emulator is the only state for a hidden pane. The 2031 fact stays because it
is subscription registration, not a state query.
- **Emulator always answers**: re-creates the OSC-11 double-reply race for
visible panes. Never.
## Mechanism: forwarded emulator onData, not a new grammar
`HeadlessEmulator` has `onData` wiring behind a per-write capture flag.
For static and model-state queries, xterm core **is** the query grammar: the
runtime emulator runs the same xterm version with equivalent options as the
renderer pane, so main's reply set equals the visible renderer's by
construction — verified empirically against the bundled headless build:
DA1/DA2, DSR 5n, CPR, DECRPM (including unknown-mode `0`), DECRQSS (including
DECSCUSR from cursor options), XTVERSION, kitty `CSI ? u` all reply; XTWINOPS
(`windowOptions` stays default-off) and XTGETTCAP stay silent, matching
visible behavior today. The headless build has **no theme service**: OSC
4/10/11/12 queries and DSR ?996n return nothing even with the `theme` option
set, so the view-attribute class is answered by responder-registered parser
handlers instead (below) — never by core defaults.
Forwarding predicate, captured per chunk in `OrcaRuntimeService.onPtyData` and
attached to the emulator `writeChain` link (the mark can flip between
ingestion and an async write; the decision must not be re-read at reply time):
1. gate enabled (`terminalMainSideEffectAuthority` and
`terminalHiddenDeliveryGate` both on) AND new kill switch
`terminalModelQueryAuthority !== false`;
2. the chunk was hidden-dropped for this PTY (`shouldDropHiddenRendererPtyData`
— same module state, same tick as the drop sites);
3. the write is live PTY data — never `seedHeadlessTerminal`,
`maybeHydrateHeadlessFromRenderer`, option pushes, or any snapshot replay
(main-side replay guard, mirror of the renderer's `replay-guard.ts`);
4. no remote view subscriber is attached to the PTY (runtime terminal-RPC
subscriber records / `mobileSubscribers`): a mobile/web/remote-desktop
xterm receiving the multiplexed stream answers with view authority, exactly
like a visible local pane. Legacy JSON `terminal.subscribe` streams **do**
register as view subscribers and suppress, even when the consumer is a
read-only watcher — deliberately conservative, because the stream may feed
an older live xterm view and a withheld reply (the pre-Phase-5 status quo)
is strictly safer than a double reply. Consumers that never register a
stream (CLI `terminal.read`, automation observers) do not suppress — they
also do not answer; that bounded no-reply case matches today's behavior.
Mobile streams preserve that singularity across snapshot startup and multiple
views. The mobile WebView suppresses `onData` during snapshot replay, then
enables replies at an explicit live-output boundary. Clearing the WebView drops
that replay queue and resumes live reply authority immediately. If a live query
arrived while the initial snapshot was being built and its output sequence is
covered by that snapshot, runtime RPC re-emits only the bounded query sequence
after the snapshot; ordinary covered output stays deduplicated. `terminal.send`
accepts the resulting `inputKind: query-reply` only from the earliest active
phone-fitted mobile subscriber while mobile owns the terminal driver. Earliest
is determined by preserved `subscribedAt`, so a soft-leave resubscribe does not
change reply ownership; passive desktop-mode watchers are excluded. Peer phones
are rejected, the next subscriber is promoted on unsubscribe, and desktop
parser and capability handlers stay silent until desktop retakes the driver.
Mixed versions: hosts advertise `terminal.query-reply-input.v1`; a mobile
client never forwards replies to a host that lacks it, because such hosts
strip `inputKind` and would treat the bytes as floor-taking shell input.
Residual: a desktop→mobile driver handoff has a bounded double-reply window
until the async driver-change event reaches the desktop renderer's cached
driver map (`isPtyLocked`).
Everything the emulator emits outside a forwarding window is discarded, which
also swallows unsolicited core emissions (e.g. native 997 color-scheme pushes
triggered by option mutations).
## Reply classes
| Class | Queries | Answer source |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Static | DA1 `CSI c` (ConPTY override below), DA2, DSR 5n, XTVERSION, DECRQM unknown → `0`, kitty `CSI ? u` | xterm core constants + kitty flag state |
| Model-state | CPR `6n`/`?6n`, DECRPM mode table (?1 ?6 ?7 ?25 mouse ?1004 ?1006 ?1016 ?1049 ?2004 ?2026, insert), DECRQSS DECSTBM/DECSCA/SGR, kitty flags | emulator buffer/mode state — for a hidden pane it is the only state, hence authoritative |
| View-attribute | OSC 4/10/11/12 `;?` queries, DSR ?996n | responder parser handlers + renderer attribute push (below); **silent until first push** |
| View-attribute (via options) | DECRQSS DECSCUSR, DECRQM 12 | xterm core, from pushed `cursorStyle`/`cursorBlink` emulator options |
| Silent | XTWINOPS, XTGETTCAP, ?15n/?25n/?26n/?53n | nobody, visible or hidden |
| Mode 2031 | DECSET 2031 subscribe | unchanged in Phase 5: main emits the `2031-subscribe` fact, the renderer replies (`handleHiddenMode2031SubscribeFact`, `pty-connection.ts`; parked watcher fact callback). Emulator-native 2031/997 output is suppressed by the forwarding guard |
### View-attribute bridge
Renderer→main push, `pty:terminalViewAttributes` — one global snapshot,
not per-PTY: the composed terminal `ITheme` (from
`applyTerminalAppearance`, `terminal-appearance.ts`),
`terminalCursorStyle`, `terminalCursorBlink`, and the resolved color-scheme
mode (`resolveTerminalColorSchemeMode` — the same source as the existing
hidden 2031 reply). Pushed on renderer startup and on every theme/settings
apply.
Main consumes it two ways:
- `cursorStyle`/`cursorBlink` are applied to every runtime emulator's options
inside the replay guard; xterm core then answers DECRQSS DECSCUSR and
DECRQM 12 with renderer-true values (verified working headless).
- Palette and color-scheme replies come from responder-registered parser
handlers on the emulator (`registerOscHandler` 4/10/11/12,
`registerCsiHandler` for DSR ?996n), because the headless core cannot
answer them. The OSC handlers see SET payloads too, so runtime OSC
4/10/11/12 mutations (and 104/110/111/112 resets) from the byte stream are
tracked per PTY and layered over the pushed base palette — matching what
the renderer's theme service reports for a visible pane.
Staleness rules: replies use the last push; a theme flip is stale for at most
one IPC hop (subscribed TUIs are corrected by the 2031/997 flip push).
**Before the first push main answers no view-attribute query** — a fabricated
default would resurrect the default-black OSC-11 bug; silence is the
documented hidden status quo.
### Kitty keyboard flags
`vtExtensions.kittyKeyboard: true` is enabled in `HeadlessEmulator`, matching
`buildDefaultTerminalOptions` (`pane-terminal-options.ts:50`). Risk is low:
for the write-only daemon use, keyboard state never alters serialization; the
change only makes the emulator parse `CSI =/>/< u` pushes instead of ignoring
them, and lets the responder answer `CSI ? u` with the flags the hidden app
actually pushed. Snapshot parity: add `kittyKeyboardFlags` to `TerminalModes`
for emulator re-seed parity only. `rehydrateSequences` must **not** push kitty
flags into a renderer xterm — `POST_REPLAY_REATTACH_RESET`'s deliberate kitty
reset (stale CSI-u Ctrl+C hazard, `terminal-replay-cursor-state.test.ts`)
stays authoritative. Slice 3 wires the re-seed consumer: the daemon
warm-reattach snapshot threads `modes.kittyKeyboardFlags` through the spawn
result into `seedHeadlessTerminal`, which applies them to the fresh runtime
emulator via its own `CSI = flags ; 1 u` parse (outside any forwarding
window), so hidden `CSI ? u` reports the flags the hidden app actually
pushed. Paths without a snapshot (cold restore spawns a fresh shell) answer
`?0u`; protocol-conformant programs re-push.
### ConPTY DA1 variant
The provider kind is known main-side: mirror `isLocalNativeWindowsPty`
(`windows-pty-compatibility.ts:59`) from the spawn record (local/daemon
provider, `win32`, not WSL). For such PTYs register a CSI `c` override on the
emulator parser (the main-side twin of
`installConptyDeviceAttributesHandler`) replying `CSI ?61;4c`, still gated by
the forwarding predicate. The override is installed at emulator creation and
retrofitted when the spawn mark lands (daemon stream data can create the
emulator before the awaited spawn response marks the PTY). ConPTY blocking on
a missing DA1 is a spawn-time hazard; the hidden-at-spawn loss window is
closed by the slice-3 `initiallyHidden` spawn flag (races section).
## Suppression: when main never replies
- Visible or unmarked PTY (chunk was delivered).
- Renderer delivery interest registered (chunk was delivered to a sidecar).
- Remote-runtime (`remote:`) PTYs — never markable
(`isHiddenDeliveryGateManagedPty`), bytes never transit local main.
- Remote view subscriber attached (mobile/web/remote desktop owns replies).
- Seed/hydration/snapshot writes into the emulator, and option pushes.
- Kill switches off — no marks exist, and `terminalModelQueryAuthority` is an
independent off switch for the responder alone.
- The **daemon** emulator: never, under any setting. The responder lives in
main's runtime only; `session.test.ts:163-190` stays pinned verbatim.
## Transition races
Worst cases, per direction:
- **visible→hidden**: chunks delivered between the visibility flip and the
mark landing in main are hidden-skipped by the renderer write path without
query scanning. No reply, no duplicate — identical to the pre-Phase-4 hidden
skip behavior, bounded by one renderer→main IPC hop. After the mark lands,
main answers everything it drops.
- **hidden→visible**: unmark consumes the drop latch and emits the restore
marker; the snapshot replay is replay-guarded, so queries main already
answered are never re-answered from the snapshot; post-unmark live chunks
are answered by xterm once (restore-queued live chunks reply late, not
twice).
- **Split queries across the drop/deliver boundary**: neither parser saw the
whole sequence → no reply; the restore marker resets renderer cross-chunk
state and replay hygiene resets the parser. At-most-once holds.
Safe-side rule per class: duplicates are structurally impossible (one decision
point per chunk); where the race costs anything it costs a missing reply.
That is acceptable for state queries (DSR/CPR/DECRPM — TUIs re-probe or
tolerate silence, as they did for every hidden pane before this phase). The
one blocking-on-no-reply sequence, ConPTY DA1, only fires at spawn. A visible
pane answers it from the renderer xterm. A PTY spawned hidden previously had
no answerer until the renderer's hidden mark landed in main (one IPC hop
after spawn). Slice 3 closes that window with the `initiallyHidden`
spawn-record flag: the renderer declares hidden-at-spawn on `pty:spawn`
(never for remote-runtime transports), and main marks the PTY hidden before
the first byte — pre-spawn for
daemon-host sessions whose id is minted up front, immediately after
`provider.spawn` resolves otherwise — so the gate and responder own queries
from byte one. The pane's first visibility sync then re-marks or unmarks
through the existing Phase-4 machinery (unmark emits the restore marker for
any spawn-window drops).
## Invariants
1. Exactly one party may answer any query, chosen by the chunk's delivery
decision: delivered → the consuming live view's xterm; dropped → main's
model responder; replayed/seeded → no one. The decision is captured once,
synchronously, at ingestion.
2. Main answers only from live PTY bytes parsed by the runtime emulator —
never from snapshot, seed, hydration, or option-push writes.
3. View-attribute answers are renderer-true or absent: no reply is ever
fabricated from emulator defaults (the OSC-11 lesson).
4. The daemon emulator stays write-only; daemon subprocess query writes stay
zero (`session.test.ts` pins are permanent).
5. Reply parity is structural for static and model-state classes: same xterm
core, equivalent options, no hand-rolled grammar — the only overrides are
the documented ConPTY DA1 variant and the view-attribute parser handlers
the headless core cannot serve.
6. Remote views keep view authority; main yields whenever a remote view
subscriber is attached. When multiple desktop/mobile views coexist, the
terminal driver and server-side mobile election keep one reply writer.
**Contract amendment** — `terminal-model-view-contract.md` invariant 6 is
replaced by:
> 6. Terminal query authority is singular and structural: the party that
> writes a chunk into a live terminal answers its queries. Visible renderer
> and remote views keep xterm authority. Chunks dropped by the
> hidden-delivery gate are answered exactly once by the main model
> responder, from runtime-emulator state plus renderer-pushed view
> attributes. Replayed, seeded, or snapshot bytes are answered by no one.
> The daemon emulator never answers.
The contract's test bullet "headless tracking does not answer DA, DSR, OSC 11,
or theme-sensitive queries" splits into: daemon emulator never answers
(unchanged pins) / runtime responder answers only hidden-dropped chunks. The
side-effect authority matrix row "DECSET 2031 reply — query authority stays
with the view (contract invariant 6)" gains a pointer here; its reply path is
otherwise untouched in this phase.
## Test strategy
- Responder unit tests beside `orca-runtime.test.ts`: marked vs unmarked vs
interest-suppressed; each reply class; seed/hydrate silence; remote-
subscriber suppression; ConPTY DA1 variant; kill-switch off; mark flip
between ingestion and async emulator write (captured decision wins).
- Parity harness: shared query byte fixtures through a renderer-configured
xterm (onData capture) and through the responder; assert byte-identical
replies for static + model-state classes, and for view-attribute classes
after an attribute push.
- `session.test.ts:163-190`: assertions stay; the comment is updated to name
the main responder (not "the renderer") as the hidden answerer.
- E2E: hidden `claude /theme` reports the configured theme; hidden TUI
blocked on CPR/DA unblocks while gated; reveal shows no stray reply
fragments (`?1;2c`, `rgb:` …) on the prompt; Windows ConPTY golden and
`terminal-hidden-view-parking.spec.ts` stay green.
## Cut-offs (shipped as three stacked slices)
1. **Responder core.** Emulator onData wiring + per-write capture + main
replay guard; kitty flag enable (+ `TerminalModes.kittyKeyboardFlags`);
static + model-state classes; ConPTY DA1 override; remote-subscriber
suppression; `terminalModelQueryAuthority` switch; unit + parity tests.
Main-only — no renderer change. Ships the DA1/CPR/DECRPM unblock.
2. **View-attribute bridge.** `pty:terminalViewAttributes` push, cursor
option application under the guard, responder OSC/DSR parser handlers with
per-PTY palette-mutation tracking, silent-until-push rule, `/theme` e2e.
3. **Contract alignment.** Invariant-6 amendment in the contract doc, test
bullet split, `session.test.ts` comment, side-effect matrix pointer, and
the Phase 6 prerequisites below recorded as accepted.
## Phase 6 (delete skip grammar + startup window): prerequisites from this design
Phase 6 is shipped: the renderer hidden-skip eligibility grammar and the 10s
codex startup renderer-query window are deleted. Kill-switch-off hidden panes
fall back to the pre-grammar path — hidden bytes ride the bounded background
scheduler queue; overflow latches the model-snapshot restore — and never run
a per-chunk content scan.
Accepted and shipped in slice 3 (except where noted):
- **Mark-before-first-byte** (shipped): panes spawned without a visible view
are hidden-marked at spawn via the `initiallyHidden` flag on `pty:spawn`
(spawn-record flag, not a renderer round trip) so startup queries —
including ConPTY's blocking DA1 — are main-owned from byte zero. Phase 6
removed the codex exclusion with the window: codex spawns are main-owned
from byte zero too, the responder answering their startup probes.
- **Attributes before spawn** (shipped): the renderer pushes composed view
attributes once at app start (right after settings load, before terminal
reconnect/spawn), so spawn-time view-attribute queries no longer fall into
the silent-until-push rule. Per-pane appearance applies keep re-publishing
through the same deduped publisher.
- **Daemon shell-ready write gating** (verified): responder replies through
`ptyController.write` → daemon `Session.write` are QUEUED pre-ready, never
dropped, and the queue flushes at the shell-ready marker or the 15s
`SHELL_READY_TIMEOUT_MS` bound (`session.ts`). The codex window was removed
with hosted ConPTY golden coverage, unit DA1 parity, and the kill switches
as the safety net; explicit spawn-time e2e on Windows daemon PTYs remains
worth adding.
- With the skip grammar deleted, every chunk is either written to a live
xterm or dropped — the delivered-but-skipped no-reply gap disappears and
the only remaining loss window is the mark IPC race.
- **2031 consolidation** (optional follow-up): move the subscription registry
into the responder (the headless core cannot serve 997 pushes any more than
it can ?996n) and push 997 flips from the attribute cache, retiring the
`2031-subscribe` fact reply, the parked responder, and the parked-tab
theme-flip gap.

# Terminal Session Ownership and Teardown
**Status:** Incident fix and pane-authority transfer implemented
**Date:** 2026-07-13
**Incident:** [`../../pty-exhaustion-agent-session-leak.md`](../../pty-exhaustion-agent-session-leak.md)
**Related contracts:** [`terminal-model-view-contract.md`](./terminal-model-view-contract.md),
[`terminal-hidden-view-parking.md`](./terminal-hidden-view-parking.md)
## Summary
Terminal process lifetime must be owned by explicit product intent, never by
whether a React view happens to be mounted.
Orca currently preserves a PTY when a terminal view detaches, which is correct
for view parking, tab moves, renderer reload, and warm reattach. It also relies
on `TerminalPane` unmount to destroy a PTY after a tab is closed. Hidden-view
parking invalidated that implicit invariant: a parked tab has no mounted pane,
so closing it removes renderer state and observers without terminating the PTY.
Agent resume records survive the same close and later interpret the missing pane
as failed recovery, launching the deliberately closed session again.
This design establishes one authoritative lifecycle contract:
- **Close tab or pane:** permanently retire the surface, terminate every PTY it
owns, and revoke every resume record for its panes.
- **Detach or park:** remove only the view connection; preserve the PTY and its
durable identity.
- **Sleep:** intentionally checkpoint resumable agents, terminate the PTYs, and
preserve only the checkpoint needed for wake.
- **Quit or reload:** follow the configured persistence policy; warm detach is
allowed, but it is not a tab close.
The immediate implementation makes the existing terminal-tab state close the
authoritative compatibility boundary for explicit retirement while adding an
explicit natural-exit reason for callers that are only reconciling an already
dead PTY. A follow-up separates the command and reducer APIs once all direct
store callers have migrated.
## Implementation status
The incident patch ships the retirement planner, provider-aware close routing,
unified-only retirement, parked watcher/candidate disposal, resume-authority
revocation, explicit natural-exit handling, late-binding rejection, and direct
background-launch ownership checks. It also adds exact pane retirement and a
persisted physical-to-owner pane-key alias for detach, plus a live Electron
parked-close gate. Focused tests cover local, SSH, split, parked, shared,
paired-host, ordinary runtime, pane-transfer, and late-spawn paths.
`orca terminal close --tab` extends that same ownership boundary to automation.
With an attached renderer, main sends a request/reply close, the renderer runs
the canonical retirement path, persists a fresh host-partitioned session, and
forces the main store to disk before acknowledging success. Without a renderer,
the runtime applies the equivalent immutable projection to the persisted
aggregate tab, removes every split binding and resume record, safely selects a
surviving browser/editor/terminal surface, stops exact live or durable SSH PTYs,
and flushes before returning. The ordinary `terminal close` pane/session
contract is unchanged.
This durability boundary does not use replay fences or tombstones. Renderer
session writes are ordered through the same IPC sender, and a pending debounced
write rebuilds from the latest store state, so the forced fresh snapshot is not
followed by a captured pre-close topology patch. Headless closes update the
single main-owned session projection directly.
Origin-aware defensive expiry remains a follow-up. Immediate deletion on
explicit close fixes the incident without applying a wall-clock policy that
could invalidate intentional long-lived `worktree-sleep` checkpoints.
## Goals
1. Closing a terminal tab submits retirement for all exclusively owned local,
daemon, WSL, SSH, or runtime PTYs, including every split pane, whether its
views are mounted or parked.
2. Closing a terminal pane terminates only that pane's PTY; detaching a pane to
another tab preserves its PTY, hook identity, and resume authority under the
new owning pane.
3. Closing a tab permanently removes its agent resume authority. App restart,
worktree activation, mobile wake, and periodic capture must not resurrect it.
4. Parking, tab-group moves, renderer reload, and warm reattach keep their
existing process-preservation behavior.
5. Remote-runtime and web-session surfaces are terminated by their owning host,
not by sending a host-scoped ID to the local PTY provider.
6. Teardown is idempotent and safe under duplicate close requests, late PTY
exits, late agent-hook events, in-flight spawns, and provider disconnects.
7. A future bookkeeping regression cannot grow without bound: unowned defensive
resume records have an origin-aware expiry, and provider-owned detached
sessions gain a bounded orphan policy in the daemon-lease phase.
## Non-goals
- Changing terminal output, snapshot, replay, query-response, or hidden-delivery
behavior.
- Killing processes that deliberately daemonize away from a plain user
terminal's process group (nohup-style survivors remain user intent there).
For **agent sessions**, close/kill additionally terminates the snapshotted
descendant tree — including detached-pgid children the PTY's SIGHUP cannot
reach — via `pty-descendant-termination.ts` (bounded fresh snapshot with
same-turn coalescing, SIGTERM, grace window, then identity-safe SIGKILL).
Completed process tables are never reused as signal targets, and identity
checks use C-locale timestamps from the source scan. Later requests start a
fresh same-turn-coalesced successor inside their own deadline instead of
waiting behind older scans. A session is marked as terminating before capture
and keeps request ownership through natural exit, so reattach, duplicate kill,
and graceful-to-immediate upgrade cannot race the snapshot; descendant signals
still require the exact root session/handle to be live. Windows and SSH-hosted
PTYs keep the previous foreground-tree contract for now.
- Changing agent-provider resume commands or permission flags.
- Making a UI close wait for a remote process to exit before the tab disappears.
- Replacing worktree sleep with tab close. Sleep remains resumable by design.
- Claiming that a disconnected SSH relay process is already dead when main can
only tombstone its app-scoped ID. Durable relay-side kill-on-reconnect is a
follow-up.
## Terminology
- **Surface:** a terminal tab or a pane within a split terminal tab.
- **View:** a renderer xterm or pane-less parked watcher observing a surface.
- **Session:** the provider-owned PTY identified by a PTY ID.
- **Resume authority:** a `sleepingAgentSessionsByPaneKey` record that permits
Orca to launch an agent-provider resume command.
- **Retire:** permanently close a surface and revoke its process and resume
ownership.
- **Detach:** disconnect a view while preserving the session for reattachment.
## Open-source prior art
The lifecycle distinction is established in mature terminal implementations:
- VS Code's terminal instance disposal calls process-manager disposal, and the
process manager marks the process `KilledByUser` before shutdown. Its separate
`detachFromProcess` path deliberately clears the client reference without
shutting down the process. It also shuts down a process whose asynchronous
creation completes after the manager was disposed. See
[`terminalInstance.ts`](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/3f5c62a95ddb886424da463b41ac3ac5e45aa04f/src/vs/workbench/contrib/terminal/browser/terminalInstance.ts#L1287-L1325)
and
[`terminalProcessManager.ts`](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/3f5c62a95ddb886424da463b41ac3ac5e45aa04f/src/vs/workbench/contrib/terminal/browser/terminalProcessManager.ts#L207-L239).
- tmux exposes the same contract as separate commands: `detach-client` removes
a client while leaving the session intact, whereas `kill-session` destroys
the session and its windows. See
[`tmux.1`](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/42b3ea0d7411acb4cd0357a3c2829d986b455918/tmux.1#L1177-L1218).
Orca needs the same semantic split, extended across local, WSL, SSH, persistent
daemon, and remote-runtime ownership. The important precedent is the explicit
intent boundary, not a particular framework or process API.
## Non-negotiable invariants
1. View lifetime and process lifetime are independent. Mount and unmount may
attach or detach observers; they do not decide whether a session should live.
2. Every live PTY has an owning surface or an explicit bounded detached state.
3. A user close is terminal: once accepted, no status event, session snapshot,
or runtime replay may recreate the closed surface or resume its agent.
4. A tab's retirement candidates are the union of its live index, tab row,
persisted split layout, last-known relay ID, deferred SSH ID, and pending
reconnect ID. A candidate is killable only when no other live surface claims
it.
5. Provider routing follows the execution owner:
- local/daemon/WSL and app-scoped SSH IDs use `pty.kill`;
- `remote:` runtime mirror IDs are never passed to the local PTY provider;
- paired web tabs are closed through the host session RPC.
6. Teardown requests are idempotent. Repeated kill, exit-after-kill, and
close-after-exit must converge on the same empty state.
7. Resume-record validity is origin-aware. Intentional `worktree-sleep` records
are not expired by agent-status freshness; unowned defensive `live` and
`quit` records use a documented decision-time horizon.
8. Natural process exit and explicit user retirement are distinct intents.
Reconciliation after an exit must not silently adopt destructive user-close
semantics.
## Lifecycle matrix
| Intent | View | PTY | Resume record | Persistent tab state |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| Switch tabs/worktrees | hidden or parked | keep | keep/update | keep |
| Move pane/tab group | detach, then remount | keep | keep | move |
| Renderer reload | detach | keep when warm persistence applies | keep | keep |
| App quit | detach or terminate per persistence policy | policy-dependent | capture live agents | keep |
| Sleep worktree | unmount | terminate | capture intentional sleep checkpoint | keep identifiers |
| Close split pane | destroy | terminate that pane | delete that pane record | remove pane |
| Close terminal tab | destroy or already absent | terminate all tab PTYs | delete all tab records | remove tab |
| Remove worktree | destroy | terminate all worktree PTYs | delete all worktree records | remove worktree |
| PTY exits naturally | disconnect | already dead | clear or retain completed evidence per agent policy | reconcile surface |
## Current failure
The current close path deletes `ptyIdsByTabId[tabId]` and the tab layout, then
relies on a mounted `TerminalPane` cleanup to call `transport.destroy()`. A
parked tab has already run the detach branch and has no mounted cleanup left.
`disposeParkedTabWatchers` only unregisters observers. The provider session is
therefore alive after Orca discards its last renderer-side owner.
The same state close drops live agent status but not
`sleepingAgentSessionsByPaneKey`. Worktree activation intentionally fresh-resumes
records that no preserved pane can own. A deliberately closed pane therefore
looks like a failed restore. The existing age check compares `capturedAt` with
`updatedAt`; that detects a status that was stale at capture time but never
expires a record as wall time advances.
## Proposed architecture
### 1. Authoritative tab retirement plan
Before deleting any tab-scoped state, build a `TerminalTabRetirementPlan` from
one store snapshot:
```ts
type TerminalTabRetirementPlan = {
tabId: string
worktreeId: string | null
ptyIds: string[]
localOrSshPtyIds: string[]
runtimeTerminals: Array<{ environmentId: string; handle: string }>
sharedPtyIds: string[]
paneKeys: string[]
}
```
`ptyIds` is the deduplicated union of:
- `ptyIdsByTabId[tabId]`;
- the tab row's legacy `ptyId`;
- every value in `terminalLayoutsByTabId[tabId].ptyIdsByLeafId`;
- `lastKnownRelayPtyIdByTabId[tabId]`;
- `deferredSshSessionIdsByTabId[tabId]`;
- `pendingReconnectPtyIdByTabId[tabId]`.
This snapshot must be built before any of those maps are pruned. PTY IDs are
classified structurally with `parseRemoteRuntimePtyId`, not by assuming a host
or platform from the current active workspace. Before shutdown, the planner
subtracts IDs referenced by another tab row, live index, split layout, or relay
and reconnect map. A partially completed pane move must not let closing the
source tab kill the target tab's session.
The immediate compatibility boundary is `closeTab`, because several production
paths still call the store action directly. Its options carry an explicit
`reason: 'user' | 'pty-exit' | 'cleanup'`; `user` and `cleanup` retire, while
`pty-exit` reconciles an already-dead session without killing siblings or
revoking crash-recovery policy by accident. Making only the rendered tab-bar
action destructive would leave background launch cleanup, floating terminal,
onboarding, runtime notifications, and future direct callers vulnerable.
### 2. Teardown ordering
A local tab retirement executes in this order:
1. Snapshot the retirement plan and its execution-owner classifications.
2. Mark the tab recently closed so late agent-hook events cannot reintroduce
status or resume authority.
3. Dispose the whole tab's parked registry entry and captured candidates, and
silence teardown side-effect handlers while preserving deterministic exit
observation.
4. Submit `pty.kill` for exclusive local or SSH IDs and `terminal.close` for
exclusive ordinary runtime handles. A paired host-session close remains
owned by `session.tabs.close` and is not duplicated locally.
5. Atomically remove the tab, layout/binding maps, agent status, and resume
records from renderer state.
6. Let subsequent React unmount cleanup run idempotently. It is no longer the
process-lifetime authority.
Steps 3 and 4 are issued before the state loses its IDs. The UI state mutation
remains synchronous and does not await provider exit. Completion is observed
with `Promise.allSettled` so rejections cannot become unhandled promises. The
current Phase 1 fallback for a rejected retirement is provider `listSessions`
plus Resource Manager orphan cleanup; durable retry inventory belongs to the
main-owned retirement phase.
Remote-runtime mirrors are different: their `remote:` IDs are excluded from
local `pty.kill`. Ordinary runtime terminals retire through `terminal.close`.
Paired host-session tabs retire through `session.tabs.close`, which owns the
entire host tab graph. The local mirror may be pruned optimistically only after
the host close intent is recorded, as it is today.
### 3. Resume-authority revocation
Tab retirement removes every sleeping record whose:
- map key begins with `${tabId}:`; or
- record has `tabId === tabId`.
The explicit `record.tabId` check covers migrated or legacy keys whose key no
longer encodes the current tab identity. Sibling tabs and other worktrees retain
their records by reference when unchanged.
The existing recently-closed tab registry remains the short-lived race guard
for hook events already in flight. It must prevent those events from creating a
new `origin: 'live'` resume record after retirement. Tests must cover both event
orders: close then late status, and status queued in the same turn as close.
Periodic capture iterates only current live status entries. Once close removes
the live entry and resume record, the periodic pass has nothing to persist.
### 4. Origin-aware defensive record expiry
An unowned defensive `live` or `quit` record may expire when:
```ts
Date.now() - record.capturedAt > DEFENSIVE_AGENT_RESUME_MAX_AGE_MS
```
Intentional `worktree-sleep` records are exempt from the agent-status freshness
window. Originless legacy behavior remains unchanged until its migration policy
is explicitly chosen. The same validator must run before desktop activation and
mobile/background wake so one entry point cannot bypass it.
Expiry is defense in depth, not the primary close mechanism. A correctly closed
record is deleted immediately; it is not retained for 30 minutes.
### 5. Pane close remains pane-scoped
`PaneManager.closePane` already distinguishes `reason: 'close'` from
`reason: 'detach'`. Preserve that distinction with explicit pane authority:
- `close` must clear the exact pane's resume authority, add a pane-scoped late
event tombstone, and destroy the pane transport;
- `detach` must atomically transfer or alias resume ownership because the agent
process retains its immutable source `ORCA_PANE_KEY`.
The last-pane path routes to terminal-tab retirement so it receives the same
parked, split, SSH, and resume cleanup behavior as a tab-bar close.
### 6. Provider-side safety net
Client correctness is necessary but not sufficient for a daemon deliberately
designed to outlive renderer and app processes. Add a follow-up provider-owned
orphan policy:
- track attachments/ownership leases rather than treating `detach` as a no-op;
- distinguish warm-reattach grace from ownerless retirement;
- reap sessions that have no owner after a bounded grace period;
- never idle-reap a session merely because it produces no output;
- scope leases to native, WSL, SSH provider, relay connection, or runtime host;
- expose orphan count and oldest orphan age in Resource Manager diagnostics.
This hardening is not required to land the immediate close fix, because a lease
protocol changes daemon compatibility and needs its own migration. It is the
defense against a future client bookkeeping regression.
## Provider behavior
| Provider/session kind | Close operation | Notes |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Local native | `pty.kill(id)` | Main routes to the owning local/daemon provider. |
| Persistent daemon | `pty.kill(id)` | Explicit close overrides warm-reattach persistence. |
| Windows ConPTY | `pty.kill(id)` | Provider shutdown owns Windows process-tree semantics. |
| WSL | `pty.kill(id)` | Route by PTY ownership; do not infer from path separators. |
| SSH | `pty.kill(appScopedId)` | Main resolves the connection-specific SSH provider. |
| Disconnected SSH | `pty.kill(appScopedId)` | Tombstones locally and prevents fallback; relay-side death requires reconnect-aware follow-up. |
| Ordinary remote runtime | host `terminal.close` | Classify environment and handle from the `remote:` ID. |
| Paired web host tab | host `session.tabs.close` | Host owns the complete tab and pane graph. |
| Web client local mirror | optimistic prune after close intent | Host snapshot confirms final removal. |
## Failure and race handling
### Duplicate close
The first close snapshots and retires the tab. Later closes find no target and
no-op. Provider shutdown is idempotent for an already exited session.
### PTY exit races close
Observers are unregistered before shutdown. If an exit event was already
queued, the recently-closed tab guard and missing tab make it a no-op. It must
not recreate a tab, completion row, resume record, or notification.
### Spawn completes after close
The transport already kills a PTY when its spawn resolves after `destroyed` is
set, but the two direct background launchers do not use that transport. Each
direct launcher must revalidate tab ownership immediately after `pty.spawn` or
`terminal.create` resolves and before writing any binding, layout, eager buffer,
subscription, or mount request. A retired local or SSH result is killed; a
retired runtime result is closed through `terminal.close`.
### Provider shutdown fails
The tab remains closed; reappearing would violate user intent. Report the
provider class through structured diagnostics and leave the session visible in
provider inventory so existing Resource Manager orphan cleanup can retry. A
durable pending-retirement inventory is a later main-process API and is not
claimed by Phase 1. Do not restore resume authority after a failed terminal
kill.
### Remote host is unavailable
Keep the local close intent until either a host snapshot confirms removal or the
existing intent TTL expires. If it expires, the host remains authoritative and
may republish the tab; log the failed close. Never pretend a local mirror prune
terminated the host PTY.
### App exits during close
Submit shutdown IPC before discarding the only local PTY identifiers. The main
process/provider owns completion after accepting the request. A future batched
shutdown IPC may return per-ID acceptance, but UI close does not wait for it.
## Implementation plan
### Phase 1: correctness patch (implemented)
1. Add a small store-independent terminal-tab retirement planner that collects
all six ID sources, classifies execution owners, and excludes IDs shared by
another live surface.
2. Add an explicit close reason, update natural-exit callers, and make explicit
`closeTab` retirement dispose the whole parked-tab registry, submit local,
SSH, or runtime shutdown, atomically clear all reconnect maps, and remove
tab-owned resume records.
3. Add post-await owner checks to both direct background launchers so a late
local, SSH, or runtime spawn is terminated before any renderer binding.
4. Defer decision-time expiry until unowned defensive `live` or `quit` records
can be distinguished without changing intentional `worktree-sleep` or legacy
recovery behavior.
5. Add focused planner, store, launcher-race, and resume-policy tests. Keep one
local Electron parked-close proof as an RC release gate.
### Phase 2: remaining API cleanup
1. Rename the state-only reducer primitive so `closeTab` cannot ambiguously mean
either UI cleanup or lifecycle teardown.
2. Route all user and runtime close call sites through one domain command.
3. Keep explicit `detach` and `sleep` APIs; do not encode them as close options.
4. Add a development assertion when tab state is removed with provider PTY IDs
but no retirement plan.
Exact pane retirement, persisted detach authority transfer, and unified-only
terminal routing landed with Phase 1 because exact-head review found they were
required to avoid introducing adjacent close regressions.
### Phase 3: daemon ownership leases
1. Define versioned attach/detach/retire lease messages.
2. Preserve warm reattach across renderer/app restarts within a bounded grace.
3. Reap ownerless sessions and expose pressure telemetry.
4. Add compatibility tests across the supported daemon protocol versions and
native/WSL/SSH host isolation.
## Test plan
### Unit/store tests
- Closing an active single-pane tab submits exactly its PTY for shutdown and
removes all tab state.
- Closing a parked tab with no mounted transport still submits its PTY.
- Closing a split tab submits every unique PTY found across tab row, index, and
layout plus relay/deferred/reconnect maps, including IDs present in only one
source.
- Duplicate IDs are submitted once by the authoritative retirement plan.
- An ID referenced by another live tab is not killed when the source tab closes.
- `remote:` IDs are excluded from local PTY shutdown.
- App-scoped SSH IDs are included and are not mistaken for remote runtime IDs.
- All sleeping records for the tab are removed by key prefix or `record.tabId`;
sibling records retain identity.
- Periodic capture after close does not recreate the record.
- Late agent status after close cannot recreate live status or resume authority.
- Closing twice and close-after-exit are no-ops after the first retirement.
- A spawn resolving after close kills the newly returned PTY.
- A defensive live/quit record at the expiry boundary is retained; one
millisecond past it is cleared and never launched, while an older intentional
worktree-sleep record still resumes.
### Renderer integration tests
- Mounted tab close still destroys its xterm and terminates the PTY.
- Parked watcher disposal occurs before or with PTY shutdown and emits no final
completion/bell notification.
- Closing one split pane preserves the sibling; closing the last pane retires
the tab.
- Pane-to-tab detach preserves the PTY and resume record.
- Pinned-tab cancellation performs no shutdown; confirmed close does.
- Bulk close (`close others`, `close right`, kill-all) uses the same semantics.
### Provider/main tests
- Local, daemon, WSL, ConPTY, and SSH ownership route explicit close to the
correct provider.
- Disconnected SSH close tombstones the app-scoped ID and never falls through to
a local provider.
- Repeated `pty.kill` for the same ID is benign.
- Remote-runtime IDs cannot reach the local kill handler from renderer close.
### Electron end-to-end regression
1. Create a worktree terminal and start a deterministic long-lived child.
2. Switch worktrees and wait until the source worktree is cold-parked.
3. Close the parked tab.
4. Assert its exact PTY disappears from `pty:listSessions` and the child exits.
5. Restart/reload Orca and activate the worktree.
6. Assert no terminal or agent resume command is recreated for the closed pane.
7. Repeat with two split panes and with an SSH fixture where CI supports it.
### Soak and pressure gate
Run repeated create, park, close, reload, and reopen cycles. App-owned PTY count
must return to baseline after each cycle and remain bounded over the run. Record
the peak and final provider session count in CI artifacts.
## Observability
Emit a synchronous scheduled summary and an asynchronous completion summary:
- tab/worktree identifiers in hashed or existing diagnostic form;
- number of PTY IDs discovered by each source;
- provider classification counts;
- submitted count, then fulfilled/rejected counts after `Promise.allSettled`;
- number of resume records removed;
- whether the tab was parked or mounted when retired.
After the daemon-lease phase, Resource Manager should distinguish:
- attached sessions;
- warm-detached sessions eligible for reattach;
- ownerless/orphan sessions;
- pending/failed explicit retirement.
Alert locally before app-owned PTYs approach platform pressure. The warning is a
defense, not a substitute for lifecycle correctness.
## Rollout
1. Land the correctness patch without a feature flag. User close semantics are
restorative behavior, not an experiment.
2. Keep hidden-view parking enabled; disabling it masks the ownership bug and
forfeits its memory benefit.
3. Run focused unit/integration tests plus the live parked-close Electron gate.
4. Cut an RC and soak create/close/restart cycles while monitoring provider and
OS PTY counts.
5. Ship daemon leases separately behind protocol compatibility and telemetry.
## Alternatives rejected
### Disable hidden-view parking
This restores the old accidental unmount behavior at significant memory cost
and leaves every other state-only close path fragile. It does not repair resume
records or daemon ownership.
### Kill only from `TerminalPane` cleanup
There is intentionally no pane during parking and some headless/runtime flows.
View cleanup cannot be process authority.
### Clear only resume records
This prevents resurrection but still leaks the live PTY until app/daemon exit.
### Kill only the tab row's `ptyId`
Split panes and partially reconciled layouts can own multiple IDs. The full
union is required.
### Rely only on a daemon idle timeout
Interactive agents can be legitimately idle for hours. Reaping by output
idleness loses user work; ownership, not activity, is the safe signal.
### Await every provider exit before hiding the tab
Remote and disconnected providers can take seconds or fail. UI retirement must
be immediate once the user confirms; provider completion is asynchronous and
observable.
## Phase 1 acceptance criteria
- A confirmed terminal-tab close submits retirement for every exclusively owned
session Orca can currently reach and reports rejected requests without an
unhandled promise.
- A closed agent session is never resumed by restart, activation, or mobile wake.
- Parking, move/detach, sleep/wake, and warm app reattach retain their documented
behavior.
- Split, local, SSH, and remote-runtime ownership are covered by deterministic
tests; Windows/WSL process-tree behavior remains a live-platform follow-up.
- PTY counts remain bounded across the soak scenario.
- No process-lifetime decision depends on React component mount state.
## Full-contract follow-ups
- Durable main-owned retirement intent and bounded retry inventory.
- Disconnected SSH relay kill-on-reconnect.
- Serializable daemon attachment leases with protocol-version fallback.
- Positive ownership validation for late hook events beyond the bounded recent-
close registry.

# Terminal Side-Effect Authority
Status: Shipped — Phase 3 of the terminal model/view architecture, kill switch
`terminalMainSideEffectAuthority` (default on). Builds on
[`terminal-model-view-contract.md`](./terminal-model-view-contract.md) and
[`terminal-hidden-view-parking.md`](./terminal-hidden-view-parking.md) (Phase 1).
## Problem
Main parses every local/daemon/SSH PTY byte before renderer delivery
(`OrcaRuntimeService.onPtyData` in `src/main/runtime/orca-runtime.ts`:
side-effect tracker, OSC 9999 agent status, headless emulator, tails, URL
watchers; SSH feeds the same path from `wireUpPtyEvents` in
`src/main/ssh/ssh-relay-session.ts`). Before this phase, the side effects
users see — bell unread/notifications, title transitions, agent-complete
notifications, command lifecycle, PR links — were derived a second time by
renderer byte parsers. That duplication forced Phase 1's watcher to parse
bytes, forced main to fabricate synthetic OSC title frames over `pty:data`
just so renderer parsers could see them, and blocked Phase 4 from ever
stopping hidden byte delivery. Phase 3 made main the side-effect parser for
every PTY whose bytes transit local main; the renderer byte parsers
(`createPtyOutputProcessor` in `pty-transport.ts`, the parked watcher's byte
mode) survive only for remote-runtime PTYs and the kill-switch-off fallback.
## Authority Matrix
"Main" means parsed once in `onPtyData` and delivered as derived facts.
Remote-runtime PTYs (`remote:`) never transit local main; the renderer
(`remote-runtime-pty-transport.ts:74`) stays their parser permanently.
| Side effect | local-daemon | SSH | remote-runtime |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| OSC 9999 agent status | main (parsed in `onPtyData`, emitted as `agentStatus:set`) | main | renderer (`shouldOwnAgentStatusInRenderer`, `pty-connection.ts`) |
| OSC 0/1/2 titles + working/idle/exited tracker + 3s stale-title timer | main | main | renderer |
| BEL attention (OSC-aware stateful detector) | main | main | renderer |
| OSC 133;D command-finished exit code | main | main | renderer |
| GitHub PR-link scan | main | main | renderer |
| Command Code output scrape | main (per-PTY detector beside the tracker → `command-code-working`/`command-code-done` facts; the renderer pane keeps the done settle timer — it must consult the live status row) | main | renderer |
| DECSET 2031 color-scheme reply | renderer view/watcher — the 2031 fact reply path is untouched by Phase 5; general query authority is now per-chunk structural ownership, see [`terminal-query-authority.md`](./terminal-query-authority.md) (contract invariant 6 as amended) | same | renderer |
| DECSET 2004 paste readiness (`agent-paste-draft.ts`) | renderer — input pacing, not a model side effect | renderer | renderer |
## Main-Side Tracker
- The side-effect core shared with the renderer processor lives in
`src/shared/terminal-output-side-effects.ts`: all-titles ordering via
`extractAllOscTitles` (coalesced working→idle transitions are why last-title
is insufficient — issue #1083), `normalizeTerminalTitle`, the literal
`cursor agent` title drop (`CURSOR_NATIVE_TITLE_LOWER`,
`src/shared/agent-detection.ts`), the `createAgentStatusTracker`
transitions, the stale-working-title 3s timer
(`STALE_WORKING_TITLE_TIMEOUT_MS`), and the stateful BEL detector
(`src/shared/terminal-bell-detector.ts`).
- One tracker per PTY on `OrcaRuntimeService`, lazily created like
`agentStatusOscProcessorsByPtyId`; disposed in `onPtyExit` (cancels the
stale-title timer).
- It replaced the chunk-level last-title extraction in `onPtyData`: titles
feed in byte order, so `lastOscTitle`/`lastAgentStatus`, tui-idle waiters,
and pending-message delivery see intermediate transitions instead of only
the chunk's last title. PTY/leaf records keep the **raw** last title
(worktree `ps` and mobile tab titles expect raw); emitted facts carry
`(normalizedTitle, rawTitle)` like `onTitleChange`.
- No deferred drain in main — the renderer's setTimeout(0) batching
(`sideEffectDrainTimer`, `pty-transport.ts`) protects xterm paint, which
does not exist in main. Main applies synchronously and batches the IPC per
flush.
- The stats `AgentDetector` (`src/main/stats/agent-detector.ts`) keeps its own
last-title scan, untouched: synthetic titles must never reach it.
## Event Transport: `pty:sideEffect`
One batched main→renderer channel (`window.api.pty.onSideEffect`,
`src/preload/index.ts`). It is **not** routed through the pty dispatcher:
the renderer fact-consumer registry
(`terminal-side-effect-facts-handler.ts`) subscribes directly via
`window.api.pty.onSideEffect` — one channel subscription per renderer, with
exactly one registered fact consumer per PTY. Events are **facts, not
decisions**: `title`, `bell`, `agent-working`, `agent-idle` (with title),
`agent-exited`, `command-finished` (exit code), `pr-link`. Each carries
`ptyId`, main-known attribution (worktreeId/tabId/paneKey from runtime leaf
records, same resolution as `emitTerminalAgentStatusEvents`), and the PTY
`outputSequence`.
Ordering rules:
1. Per-PTY in-order; facts from one chunk are emitted in byte order (status
payloads, then titles in sequence, then bell — the renderer drain's order).
2. Deliberately **not** synchronized with `pty:data`: side effects must keep
advancing while renderer delivery is ACK-gated (contract invariant 1). A
completion title may reach the store before the visible xterm paints the
final output; that is acceptable — attention/title state is out-of-band UI
state, and today's renderer drain already decouples by many batches under
timer throttling.
3. No attention replay: facts emitted while no renderer is subscribed are
dropped. On transport attach/park-handoff the renderer pulls a title-only
snapshot (`pty:sideEffectSnapshot`) marked `replay: true` — this reproduces
the eager-buffer behavior where replay restores titles but is barred from
bells/completions (`suppressAttentionEvents`, `pty-transport.ts`). The
store handler ignores a replay title older (by `outputSequence`) than the
last live title fact it applied.
## Renderer Store Handler (policy stays in the renderer)
Notification semantics, all preserved across the authority flip:
- BEL marks worktree+tab unread unconditionally — including the focused pane
(`onBell`, `pty-connection.ts`); pane unread only behind
`experimentalTerminalAttention`; keydown clears unread
(`onTerminalKeyDown`, `pty-connection.ts`).
- BEL's OS notification is delayed 250 ms and yields to a pending
agent-task-complete (`scheduleTerminalBellNotification`,
`pty-connection.ts`).
- working→idle starts the Claude cache timer (null settings = not hydrated,
treat enabled) and schedules completion with 250 ms grace + 1500 ms max
wait + detail-wait store subscription
(`AGENT_TASK_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION_GRACE_MS` /
`AGENT_TASK_COMPLETE_NOTIFICATION_MAX_WAIT_MS`,
`agent-task-complete-policy.ts`).
- Completion unread is suppressed only for the exact visible foreground pane
(`isVisibleForegroundPaneKey`, `use-notification-dispatch.ts`); BEL unread
has no such check.
- Dispatch-time liveness/staleness guards
(`dispatchTerminalNotification`, `use-notification-dispatch.ts`) and main's
5 s per-worktree cooldown (`NOTIFICATION_COOLDOWN_MS`,
`src/main/ipc/notifications.ts`) remain the final gates.
These need live renderer store state (PTY/layout maps, pane visibility,
settings, `agentStatusByPaneKey`, repo labels), so they stay in the renderer:
the pane-independent per-paneKey handler module
(`terminal-side-effect-facts-handler.ts`) consumes `pty:sideEffect` and
subsumes both `pty-connection.ts`'s callbacks and the parked watcher's
callback block (`sideEffectCallbacks`, `parked-terminal-byte-watcher.ts`) —
one policy path whether the tab is mounted, hidden, or parked. Main holds
**no** notification timers; only the stale-title timer (parser state) lives
in main.
## Synthetic Frame Reroute
`driveSyntheticTitleFromHook` and the spinner tick (`sendSyntheticTitle`,
`src/main/index.ts`) feed `runtime.ingestSyntheticTitleFrame(ptyId, data)`,
so synthetic agent-title/BEL frames enter the per-PTY tracker directly —
**not** `onPtyData`, so emulator state, tails, transcripts, and stats never
see them. The decorative-frame visibility gating
(`shouldSendSyntheticTitleFrame`) stands. The legacy synthetic `pty:data`
copy survives only in kill-switch-off mode, where renderer parsers still
need the bytes. The visible xterm renders nothing from titles, but
`pane.terminal.onTitleChange` feeds `registerPtyTitleSource`
(`pty-connection.ts`) → renderer serialize-snapshot `lastTitle` (mobile
parity); main prefers its own tracked title over renderer snapshot
`lastTitle` in both serialize paths. Under main authority synthetic frames
no longer produce phantom ACKs for bytes main never metered (`ackPtyData`,
`pty-dispatcher.ts`).
## Migration Switch and Double-Fire Prevention
Authority is structural per PTY kind — the predicate is "bytes transit local
main", exactly the `shouldOwnAgentStatusInRenderer` split
(`pty-connection.ts`). One renderer-consulted kill switch
(`settings.terminalMainSideEffectAuthority`, default on, mirroring
`terminalHiddenViewParking`): when on, IPC transports and the parked watcher
do not register byte parsers for local/SSH and the store handler consumes
`pty:sideEffect`; when off, renderer parsers register and `pty:sideEffect`
events are ignored. Main always parses and emits (its internal consumers need
the tracker regardless); main consults the same setting only to keep the
legacy synthetic-frame `pty:data` path alive while the switch is off. Exactly
one consumer per fact at any time — decided at transport/watcher creation, so
no per-chunk race.
## Sidecar Consumers and Phase 4
Keep renderer byte access (input pacing / raw-output consumers, not side
effects): `agent-paste-draft.ts` (DECSET 2004 readiness),
`launch-agent-background-session.ts` (startup-injection pacing, onData
passthrough), `automation-session-observer.ts` (onData passthrough), and
`parked-terminal-mode2031-responder.ts` (DECSET 2031 theme replies for
parked tabs while the delivery gate is off). Their duplicated local OSC 9999
store writes are gated off under main authority (the `onAgentStatus`
automation callbacks still fire; only the racing `setAgentStatus` store
writes drop). The Phase-4 hidden-delivery gate exempts PTYs with an active
`subscribeToPtyData` sidecar: registration is auto-surfaced to main as a
ref-counted delivery-interest signal (`pty-delivery-interest.ts`). With main
authoritative, the parked watcher is purely fact-driven: byte parsing exists
only in kill-switch-off mode, and the 2031 reply comes from the
`2031-subscribe` fact when the gate is on (the byte responder sidecar only
when it is off). The watcher file is deleted outright only when the kill
switch retires — it returns as a byte parser only if remote-runtime tabs
ever become parkable.
## Invariants
1. Every byte is side-effect-parsed exactly once, by exactly one authority,
chosen structurally per PTY kind.
2. Attention facts never replay: snapshot/eager/attach replays restore title
state only.
3. Notification policy (grace timers, yielding, suppression, dispatch guards)
lives with the renderer store; main emits facts with ordering metadata.
4. Side-effect facts keep flowing while renderer byte delivery is
backpressured, parked, or stopped by the hidden-delivery gate.
5. Synthetic agent frames feed the model tracker, never the emulator, tails,
transcripts, or stats.
## Test Strategy
- Parity harness (`terminal-title-tracker-parity.test.ts`): shared byte
fixtures (agent title cycles incl. coalesced chunks, BEL inside/spanning
OSC, CAN/SUB cancellation, cursor-agent literal, stale-title timeout under
fake timers, OSC 133;D, split PR URLs) run through the renderer
`createPtyOutputProcessor` and the main tracker; assert identical ordered
fact sequences.
- Unit: main tracker tests beside `orca-runtime.test.ts` (lastOscTitle
parity, tui-idle waiter transitions, synthetic ingestion); store-handler
tests reusing `parked-terminal-byte-watcher.test.ts` scenarios.
- Pinned tests that flip or retire: `pty-connection.test.ts` callback wiring,
`parked-terminal-byte-watcher.test.ts` (retires with the watcher);
`pty-transport*.test.ts` stay (processor remains for remote + kill switch).
- E2E gates that must stay green throughout: `terminal-attention.spec.ts`,
`droid-notification.spec.ts`, `terminal-hidden-view-parking.spec.ts`,
`terminal-parked-memory.spec.ts`; add main-authority bell/completion cases
(parked tab, focused-pane suppression, kill switch off). SSH parity is
exercised manually per the SSH test procedure before each slice ships.
## Cut-Offs (shipped as four stacked slices)
1. **Shared tracker in main.** Extract the processor core to shared, run the
per-PTY tracker in `onPtyData` replacing `extractLastOscTitle`, parity
tests. Main-internal consumers only; no IPC or renderer change.
2. **Authority flip.** `pty:sideEffect` channel, renderer store handler,
titles/bell/tracker authority to main for local+SSH behind the kill
switch; parked watcher stops byte parsing for those kinds.
3. **Inversion unwind.** Synthetic frames into the tracker, off `pty:data`;
OSC 133;D and PR-link facts; mobile `lastTitle` source preference.
4. **Long tail.** Command Code scrape to main, sidecar OSC 9999 dedup, parked
watcher shrunk to fact-driven mode (deletion waits on kill-switch
retirement), Phase 4 delivery-interest registration documented in the gate
design.
## Open Items
- **Daemon checkpoint `lastTitle` is write-only.** The daemon sleep/periodic
checkpoint (`daemon-pty-adapter.checkpointSessions` → daemon
`Session.getSnapshot`) persists the daemon emulator's `lastTitle`, which is
derived from real PTY bytes only — synthetic hook title frames never reach
the daemon process, so that field cannot carry hook-driven titles. Today no
restore path reads it back (`ColdRestoreInfo` drops it; reattach snapshots
surface only the ANSI payload), so there is nothing to fix. Main-side
consumers of the renderer serializer's `lastTitle` (mobile snapshot reads
and the headless hydration seed) prefer main's tracked title. If a future
consumer starts reading checkpoint `lastTitle`, it must route through the
same tracked-title preference.
- **Kill-switch retirement.** Once `terminalMainSideEffectAuthority` is
removed, the parked watcher's byte-parser mode, the renderer transport
parsers for local/SSH, and the legacy synthetic-frame `pty:data` copy all
become dead code and the watcher byte path can be deleted outright.

# Terminal Switch Typing Lag Investigation
Date: 2026-07-01
## Scope
This note tracks the investigation into terminal input lag that appears after switching workspaces or terminals in a heavy packaged Orca profile.
The user-visible symptom is that typing after switching back to a workspace can feel delayed for about one second. Text may appear all at once after the delay. The issue reproduced in the user's main packaged Orca app, but not reliably in lighter dev profiles.
## Current Reproduction Setup
- Main packaged Orca app is used for the meaningful repro.
- The main profile had roughly 150 terminals when the lag reproduced.
- The current worktree under test is `/Users/jinwoohong/orca/workspaces/orca/osprey`.
- The main app did not expose CDP, so browser-level renderer profiling was limited.
- The harness creates a throwaway bash terminal, switches away and back, sends a marker command, waits for a receipt file, and closes the throwaway terminal.
- Harness path: `.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/probe.mjs`
- The strongest repro switches through an old, output-rich workspace before typing in the probe terminal.
- Current deterministic alternate terminal:
`term_4d7a0b50-e9ae-420e-ac5d-7ec12cbfa408` in the `triage-issues` workspace.

## Key Measurements
### 2026-07-01 follow-up: cold visit vs warm revisit
After the metadata-only `listSessions()` fix, the user reported a sharper
pattern:
- First visit to a terminal, where the terminal briefly shows blank while the
renderer/webgl surface loads, does not show the typing lag.
- Revisiting that same already-mounted terminal brings the lag back.
Code-level reproduction:
- `connectPanePty` previously armed a one-shot input liveness check from
`noteVisibilityResume()`.
- The first `xterm.onData` input after a warm visibility resume called
`window.api.pty.listSessions()` before forwarding the byte with
`transport.sendInput(data)`.
- A focused unit regression captured the bad order as
`["listSessions", "sendInput"]`.
Fix direction:
- Terminal input no longer starts a renderer→main→daemon session enumeration.
- Hidden→visible lifecycle reconciliation and daemon missing-session exit events
remain responsible for stale pane cleanup.
- The focused regression now asserts that repeated warm resumes plus typing
produce zero `listSessions()` calls from the input handler.
### 2026-07-01 follow-up: preserved old daemon after input fix
After the input-handler fix, the main packaged profile still reproduced the
warm-switch lag because the live v18 daemon was preserved from an older build:
- Fresh main-profile repro:
`.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T09-59-08-111Z.json`
- Direct daemon writes after switching took 661, 982, 998, 980, and 1000 ms.
- Receipt latency after the daemon write returned stayed low at 77-85 ms.
- No-switch control:
`.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T09-59-28-346Z.json`
ended with fast direct daemon writes once the probe terminal settled.
The remaining source hot path was the visibility-resume dead-session sweep:
1. Switching a warm terminal hidden→visible ran the lifecycle visibility effect.
2. The effect scheduled `reconcileDeadSessions`.
3. `reconcileDeadSessions` invoked `window.api.pty.listSessions()`.
4. A preserved old daemon still implemented `listSessions` by snapshotting every
live session, so the user's next daemon `write` queued behind that work.
Fix:
- Replace the automatic visibility-resume `listSessions()` sweep with a targeted
single-session liveness check.
- Main exposes `pty:hasPty(id)`, which reads provider-owned in-memory PTY state
and returns `null` when the provider cannot answer authoritatively.
- Renderer visible-resume asks only about each mounted pane's current PTY id.
The pane tears down only on an authoritative `false`; `true`, `null`, rejected
checks, remote-runtime ids, SSH ids, and stale/newborn races all fail open.
- Keep visibility resume process tracking and PTY-size reassertion intact.
- This preserves the recovery added by `a9ef6f916` for panes that missed
`pty:exit` while hidden, without putting a daemon-wide session enumeration on
the warm-switch/input path.
Verification:
- Focused vitest suite: `508` tests passed across terminal lifecycle,
pty-connection, dead-session reconcile, and PTY IPC.
- Headful fullscreen E2E harness:
`tests/e2e/terminal-warm-switch-no-list-sessions.tmp.spec.ts`
wraps main-process `pty:listSessions` with an 800 ms stall and then switches
warm workspaces and types into the terminal.
- Latest E2E artifact:
`.tmp/terminal-warm-switch-no-list-sessions/result-1782929853828.json`
showed `fullscreen: true`, `listSessionCallCount: 0`, and
`postTypeEchoLatencyMs: 10`.
### CLI `terminal-send`, switch away/back
Result file: `.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T06-59-45-098Z.json`
- Average echo latency was about 1841 ms.
- Receipt latency was roughly 836-1445 ms.
### CLI `terminal-send`, no switch
- Average echo latency was about 312 ms.
### CLI `terminal-send`, switch away/back, 1000 ms settle before send
- Average echo latency was about 574 ms.
- Receipt latency was mostly 1-227 ms, with one run around 684 ms.
- This suggests the problematic window is bounded and concentrated immediately after switch/resume.
### Direct daemon request, switch away/back
Result file: `.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T07-04-43-497Z.json`
- The harness opened its own daemon control socket and sent the real daemon `write` request directly.
- Daemon write response time was roughly 947-1142 ms.
- Receipt latency after the daemon write response was about 76 ms.
- Average echo latency was about 1385 ms.
### Direct daemon request, no switch
Result file: `.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T07-05-12-496Z.json`
- Daemon write response time was 0-45 ms.
- Receipt latency was roughly 76-85 ms.
- Average echo latency was about 258 ms.
### Direct daemon request, output-rich workspace switch
Result file: `.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T07-22-06-789Z.json`
- The alternate terminal was `term_4d7a0b50-e9ae-420e-ac5d-7ec12cbfa408` in the `triage-issues` workspace.
- All four runs delayed.
- Direct daemon `write` response times were 1566, 1527, 1477, and 1333 ms.
- Average echo latency was about 1790 ms.
- A daemon CPU sample was captured at `.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/daemon-71111-sample-20260701032206.txt`.
Latest reproduced run:
`.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T07-27-25-513Z.json`
- Two runs after switching through `triage-issues`.
- Direct daemon `write` response times were 1556 and 1582 ms.
- Receipt latency after the daemon write response was about 76-77 ms.
- This confirms the daemon request itself waits; once it returns, the PTY and shell process the input quickly.
### Direct daemon ping loop during switch
A direct daemon client sent `ping` requests every roughly 50 ms while the harness issued `orca terminal switch` away and back.
- Pings before and after the switch were effectively immediate.
- One ping sent around 469 ms after switch start waited 1212 ms.
- No terminal input was involved in this probe.
This is the strongest evidence so far that workspace/terminal switching creates a daemon event-loop stall. The typing lag is a user-visible symptom of the same stall, not the root trigger.
### Direct daemon request, no switch
Latest no-switch result:
`.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T07-27-58-622Z.json`
- First run had a direct daemon `write` response of 571 ms, likely a new-probe/settling artifact.
- Next two runs were 0-1 ms.
- No-switch is generally fast once the probe terminal is settled.
### Pause after switching away
- Adding `ORCA_PROBE_AFTER_SWITCH_AWAY_MS=1500` before switching back made direct daemon writes fast again.
- This indicates expensive work starts when Orca switches into or resumes the output-rich workspace, then spills into the immediate switch-back/write window.
Latest pause-control result:
`.tmp/terminal-main-app-typing-lag/result-2026-07-01T07-29-58-568Z.json`
- Direct daemon `write` response times were 0, 0, and 0 ms.
- Echo latency was about 343-363 ms.
- This bounds the problematic window to roughly the first 1-1.5 seconds after switching into/through the expensive workspace.
### Synthetic heavy terminals
- Synthetic split panes with large scrollback were not enough to reproduce reliably.
- A plain heavy scrollback split reproduced once in four runs, then larger synthetic scrollback stayed fast.
- A synthetic TUI repaint split stayed fast.
- The issue is therefore not simply "large output" or "any hidden repaint"; old retained/reattach/snapshot state is still suspect.
### Output timestamp check
- `lastOutputAt` did not advance when switching through the `triage-issues` terminal and away.
- That weakens the theory that a resume-triggered SIGWINCH caused the child TUI to emit a fresh repaint burst.
- The delay can happen without fresh PTY output from the child process.
### Snapshot and resize controls
Direct `getSnapshot` probes on real sessions were much cheaper than the observed lag:
- Output-rich `triage` terminal: about 10 ms, roughly 122 KB response.
- Active `osprey` Codex terminal: about 57 ms, roughly 804 KB response.
Synthetic resize pulses on throwaway heavy-scrollback terminals were also cheap:
- Background 80x24 resize pulse: about 2 ms.
- Focused 232x86 resize pulse: about 2 ms.
These controls weaken the idea that one ordinary snapshot or one ordinary resize explains a 1.2-1.6 second stall. The remaining suspicious shape is switch-time fanout: many warm reattachments, snapshots, visibility/resume requests, pending-output drains, or checkpoint-like work running serially in the daemon.
### Daemon `listSessions` proof
The daemon-only measurement identified the blocking request:
```json
[
{ "type": "ping", "elapsedMs": 0 },
{ "type": "listSessions", "elapsedMs": 552, "count": 137 },
{ "type": "ping", "elapsedMs": 0 },
{ "type": "listSessions", "elapsedMs": 547, "count": 137 },
{ "type": "ping", "elapsedMs": 0 }
]
```
A second daemon-only queue test sent two `listSessions` requests and then a `ping` from another client:
```json
{
"totalMs": 1069,
"listSessions1Ms": 1068,
"listSessions2Ms": 1068,
"pingBehindListSessionsMs": 1034,
"sessions": 137
}
```
This reproduces the same stall shape without terminal input or UI switching: a control request sent behind resume-time `listSessions` waits about one second.
Source cause:
- `TerminalHost.listSessions()` loops every live daemon session.
- For each session, it calls `session.getSnapshot()` only to read `cols` and `rows`.
- `getSnapshot()` serializes the headless xterm buffer, so a liveness/session-list request scales with terminal scrollback/state across the whole profile.
- Renderer visibility resume calls `window.api.pty.listSessions()` for dead-session reconciliation. With about 137 live daemon sessions, one resume-time list was about 550 ms; two back-to-back resumes were about 1.0-1.1 seconds.
## What This Rules Out
- It is probably not keyboard focus. Direct daemon writes reproduce the delay.
- It is probably not only renderer paint. Direct daemon writes wait before the shell receives bytes.
- It is probably not bash or node-pty readiness. No-switch direct writes are fast, and receipt latency after a delayed daemon response is low.
- It is probably not queueing only on Orca's normal daemon client socket. The direct-daemon harness uses a separate socket and still sees the delay.
- It is not caused by typing itself. A ping loop with no write showed the daemon stall during switching.
- It is unlikely to be a single normal `getSnapshot` or `resize` call, because direct controls for those operations are much cheaper than the observed stall.
- The resume-time dead-pane recovery is still necessary; the hot path should
use single-PTY liveness, not a global session list.
## Current Conclusion
Switching workspaces or terminals can create a short daemon/main busy window
when warm resume triggers global session enumeration. During that window, even a
direct terminal `write` request waits before the daemon services it. Once the
daemon services the write, the shell receives and processes the bytes quickly.
The confirmed root for the remaining warm-switch lag is the visibility-resume
dead-session reconciliation path calling global `listSessions()` in profiles
with many preserved daemon sessions. The original dead-session recovery is valid;
the expensive primitive was the problem.
## Leading Hypotheses
1. Confirmed: resume-time dead-session reconciliation called daemon
`listSessions`, and older daemons synchronously snapshot every live session
to return cols/rows.
2. Confirmed: avoiding global `listSessions()` on warm resume removes the
request that queued ahead of first post-switch input.
3. Possible secondary contributor: switching to certain old or output-rich
workspaces may also reattach existing daemon-backed PTYs. The daemon
`createOrAttach` path synchronously calls `existing.getSnapshot()` before
responding.
4. Possible secondary contributor: hidden-output recovery, pending-output
draining, or another snapshot-like serialization path runs synchronously on
resume and delays request handling.
5. Less likely: workspace or terminal resume triggers visible-terminal
resize/SIGWINCH or TUI repaint output. The unchanged `lastOutputAt`
observation currently makes this less likely than `listSessions`.
## Relevant Code Areas
- CLI terminal send: `src/cli/handlers/terminal.ts`
- Runtime terminal send/focus/write: `src/main/runtime/orca-runtime.ts`
- Runtime PTY data handling: `onPtyData`, `trackHeadlessTerminalData`, hidden-output serialization in `src/main/runtime/orca-runtime.ts`
- Daemon request routing: `src/main/daemon/daemon-server.ts`
- Daemon session write/resize/output handling: `src/main/daemon/session.ts`
- Daemon-side headless terminal state: `src/main/daemon/headless-emulator.ts`
- Daemon adapter: `src/main/daemon/daemon-pty-adapter.ts`
- Main IPC PTY controller: `src/main/ipc/pty.ts`
- Renderer terminal resume: `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/terminal-visibility-resume.ts`
- Renderer PTY connection and resume size reassertion: `src/renderer/src/components/terminal-pane/pty-connection.ts`
- Renderer output scheduler: `src/renderer/src/lib/pane-manager/pane-terminal-output-scheduler.ts`
- Existing-session reattach snapshot: `TerminalHost.createOrAttach` in `src/main/daemon/terminal-host.ts`
- Session snapshot serialization: `TerminalSession.getSnapshot()` in `src/main/daemon/session.ts`
- Snapshot cost benchmark: `src/main/daemon/headless-emulator-snapshot-cost.bench.test.ts`
## Current Root-Cause Theory
The root cause is using global session enumeration as a per-pane liveness check:
1. Workspace switching makes a terminal pane visible again.
2. The renderer schedules dead-session reconciliation on hidden-to-visible resume.
3. The old reconcile path called `window.api.pty.listSessions()`, which reaches
the daemon `listSessions` RPC.
4. Older preserved daemons implement `TerminalHost.listSessions()` by calling
`session.getSnapshot()` for every live session.
5. With a heavy profile, those snapshot serializations block the daemon event
loop for about 550 ms per list.
6. A switch away/back can put a `write` behind two resume-time lists, yielding
about 1.0-1.6 seconds of delayed input.
This theory fits the current evidence:
- Direct daemon writes block, so the delay is below keyboard focus and normal CLI plumbing.
- Receipt handling after the daemon write response is fast, so the shell and PTY are not the bottleneck.
- No-switch writes are fast.
- Waiting after switching away lets the expensive resume work finish, so switching back and typing is fast.
- `lastOutputAt` does not advance, so the child process probably is not generating the expensive work.
- Synthetic fresh heavy output did not reproduce reliably, which points toward retained old session/state, request fanout, or workspace-specific resume behavior rather than simple line count.
The correct fix is two-layered:
1. Keep daemon `listSessions` metadata-only for builds where callers genuinely
need the global session list.
2. Do not use `listSessions` for warm-resume dead-pane recovery. Use
`pty:hasPty(id)` to ask about the pane's own PTY id, backed by provider
in-memory state. Close only on authoritative `false`; fail open on `true`,
`null`, unsupported providers, remote-runtime/SSH ids, and stale/newborn
races.
## Investigation Constraints
- Do not kill or restart the user's main packaged Orca app or daemon without explicit approval.
- Use throwaway terminals for probes and close them afterward.
- Keep temp harnesses and screenshots out of commits unless explicitly requested.
- Reproduce in the real main-app flow when possible; lighter dev profiles may not show the problem.
## Verification Plan
1. Unit-test that `pty:hasPty(id)` does not call provider `listProcesses()`.
2. Unit-test that targeted liveness still closes a missing local PTY and fails
open for live/unknown/stale cases.
3. Unit-test that terminal input and warm resume do not call `listSessions()`.
4. Re-run the headful fullscreen warm-switch E2E with `pty:listSessions`
artificially delayed and assert the count stays zero.
5. Re-run the main-app direct-daemon switch/no-switch harness when validating
against the user's heavy profile.

# WSL OSC 7 Sleep/Wake CWD
## Problem
On native Windows, a WSL terminal can persist a fake UNC current working directory and then fail to wake. The deterministic trigger is a WSL shell emitting `file://<machine-hostname>/home/...` before sleep:
- `osc7-file-uri.ts` treats every non-local authority as a UNC server when parsing Win32 paths.
- `Session` constructs its daemon `HeadlessEmulator` without the WSL execution context, so checkpoints can store `\\<machine-hostname>\home\...`.
- `OrcaRuntimeService` likewise gives every local Windows PTY Win32 OSC 7 semantics; `remotePosixAuthority` only protects POSIX SSH PTYs.
- `HistoryReader.restoreFromIncrementalLog` creates a third context-free emulator. A log containing the OSC 7 can therefore re-create the bad CWD even if the base checkpoint is valid.
- `DaemonPtyAdapter.doSpawn` prefers `restoreInfo.cwd` over the requested worktree CWD. `pty-subprocess.ts` later validates the fake UNC and rejects it before spawning WSL.
Reproduction on Windows 11 build 26200, WSL 2.3.26.0, Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS, and Orca 1.4.144-rc.4:
1. Open a terminal in `\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\<user>\...`.
2. Emit `OSC 7;file://<machine-hostname>/home/<user>/...`.
3. Sleep for 38-69 seconds, then wake.
Both triggered attempts failed. The saved CWD became `\\<machine-hostname>\home\<user>\...`; the original WSL UNC remained valid. A 60-second control sleep without the hostname OSC 7 passed.
## Root cause and invariant
OSC 7 authority semantics follow the PTY's execution environment, not Electron's host OS. A native Windows shell may legitimately mean `\\server\share` by `file://server/share`; a WSL shell means a POSIX pathname inside its already-known distro. Orca currently classifies local WSL PTYs as generic Win32 PTYs.
The fix must establish one immutable `wslDistro: string | null` per PTY incarnation before any OSC 7 bytes or recovered history are parsed. The same value must drive daemon live parsing, incremental-history replay, runtime parsing, and legacy CWD recovery. URI authority must never select a distro.
Resolve that value with the same precedence already used to launch WSL:
1. distro in an explicit WSL UNC `cwd`;
2. distro in the worktree encoded by the daemon session ID;
3. trimmed `terminalWindowsWslDistro` selected for the spawn.
Centralize this resolution with the existing WSL session-context code so the parser and subprocess cannot disagree. Do not infer local WSL context for `connectionId`/SSH PTYs.
## Non-goals
- Do not change native Windows UNC, POSIX SSH, or remote Windows drive-path semantics.
- Do not redesign terminal history, sleep, renderer link routing, or PTY identity.
- Do not probe WSL, DNS, the filesystem, or the network on the output path.
- Do not infer a distro from an OSC hostname or mutable global/default-distro state.
## Design
### 1. Pure conversion and parser context
Move `toWindowsWslPath` to `src/shared/wsl-paths.ts` and re-export it from `src/main/wsl.ts` for existing callers. Preserve its current rules: lowercase `/mnt/<ascii-letter>` maps to a native drive; every other absolute Linux path maps under `\\wsl.localhost\<distro>`. `/MNT` and `/mnt/C` are case-sensitive Linux paths, not drvfs aliases.
Add `wslDistro?: string` to `ParseFileUriPathOptions`. When present, `parseFileUriPathParts` must:
- decode `url.pathname` exactly once;
- construct the path with `toWindowsWslPath(decodedPath, wslDistro)`, regardless of URI authority;
- continue returning the normalized URI hostname as metadata;
- reject malformed URLs/percent encoding as today and leave the prior CWD unchanged.
Without `wslDistro`, retain every existing `pathFlavor` and `remotePosixAuthority` branch.
Thread the option through `TerminalOscCwdTitleScanner` and `HeadlessEmulator`. Scanner options are constructor-scoped, so split sequences retain the same context without global state.
### 2. Daemon and history ownership
`TerminalHost` resolves the immutable distro before spawning. Pass it both to `createPtySubprocess` and to a new `SessionOptions.wslDistro`; `Session` passes it to its `HeadlessEmulator`. Store the resolved value on `Session` and return it on create/attach so a later window observes the live session's context instead of reinterpreting it from current settings. Make the response field additive/optional for compatibility with an older preserved daemon.
Extend `HistoryReader.detectColdRestore` with optional parser context and use it for the scratch `HeadlessEmulator` in `restoreFromIncrementalLog`. Every detect path in `DaemonPtyAdapter`--initial detection, probe/create race recovery, and failed history seeding--must pass the same resolved distro. This is required; fixing only the live `Session` leaves incremental restore able to reproduce the bug.
### 3. Narrow legacy checkpoint recovery
Immediately after each cold-restore detection, normalize `restoreInfo.cwd` before it becomes `effectiveCwd` or `coldRestore.cwd`. Recovery runs only on native Windows with a resolved local WSL distro:
1. Preserve an absolute drive path.
2. Preserve a `\\wsl.localhost\...` or `\\wsl$\...` path only when its distro matches the resolved distro case-insensitively.
3. Convert an absolute POSIX path through the resolved distro.
4. Repair the known legacy shape only when the UNC server equals `os.hostname()` case-insensitively: strip the server, interpret the share and tail as the Linux absolute path, then convert it. Thus `\\HOST\mnt\c\x` becomes `C:\x`.
5. For a mismatched-distro WSL UNC, another UNC server, a relative path, or malformed input, discard the recovered CWD and fall back to the current requested CWD (or the normal spawn default if none was supplied). Do not guess.
Apply the corrected/fallback value to both subprocess creation and the returned cold-restore payload. This keeps runtime seeding, the sticky restore cache, `initialCwds`, and the next checkpoint consistent. The repair is idempotent and never mutates history files in place.
### 4. Runtime ownership and races
Add `wslDistro: string | null` to `RuntimePtyWorktreeRecord`; a boolean `isWsl` is insufficient for multi-distro parsing. Pass the resolved distro from the spawn result into runtime registration. For reconstructed local records, a WSL UNC worktree may supply a fallback distro via `parseWslUncPath`; never do this for SSH records.
Daemon PTYs can emit output before `provider.spawn` resolves, and cold-restore seeding currently runs before `registerPty`. Register the expected daemon session's execution context before spawn, then replace it with the daemon-returned immutable value before snapshot/cold-restore seeding. If late discovery changes a context after a runtime emulator was created, discard that emulator and re-seed it from the authoritative provider snapshot; never keep a buffer whose CWD was parsed under mixed contexts.
Clear execution context with the other per-PTY parser maps on exit, pruning, failed spawn, and provider-generation reset. Reusing a PTY ID must not inherit a prior distro.
## Data flow
```text
spawn cwd/session/preference
-> resolve one immutable local WSL distro
-> daemon Session scanner + HistoryReader replay scanner
-> decoded OSC 7 pathname (authority retained only as metadata)
-> toWindowsWslPath(pathname, distro)
-> daemon checkpoint + runtime live/headless CWD
-> sleep/wake with a valid WSL UNC or drive CWD
```
Legacy recovery is a boundary repair:
```text
WSL cold restore + old checkpoint CWD
-> exact allowlist normalization
-> corrected spawn and coldRestore payload
-> next checkpoint naturally persists the corrected live CWD
```
## Consistency and failure modes
- Context is per PTY incarnation, not global, so simultaneous Ubuntu and Debian panes cannot contaminate each other.
- The first creator owns a daemon session's immutable context. Concurrent/multi-window attaches consume the stored value; changed settings do not mutate a live session.
- A distro mismatch in externally changed history falls back to the requested worktree CWD instead of launching the wrong distro.
- Atomic checkpoint replacement remains unchanged. Concurrent restore callers may read different complete generations, but each normalizes before spawn and daemon create/attach still selects one live session.
- Missing context deliberately preserves current behavior. Tests must cover every local WSL construction path so this fallback cannot silently remain on the affected path.
- Native UNC and SSH behavior remain isolated because neither receives local WSL context.
- No filesystem/network work is added per output chunk; parsing remains bounded string work on completed OSC sequences.
## Test plan
- `osc7-file-uri.test.ts` and shared WSL-path tests: hostname/localhost/empty WSL authorities; hostname metadata; `/home`, `/`, lowercase `/mnt/c`, `/MNT`, `/mnt/C`; spaces/percent decoding; invalid encoding; native UNC; POSIX SSH; Windows SSH drive paths.
- `headless-emulator.test.ts`: WSL context propagation across ordinary and split OSC sequences; two emulators with different distros.
- `terminal-host.test.ts`/`session.test.ts`: resolved context reaches the daemon emulator; attach returns the session's stored context and does not adopt a conflicting later preference.
- `history-reader.test.ts`: incremental-log replay containing the exact hostname OSC 7 yields the correct WSL CWD.
- `daemon-pty-adapter.test.ts`: cover every `detectColdRestore` branch plus sticky-cache output. Repair hostname UNC and POSIX CWDs; preserve matching WSL UNC and drive paths; reject mismatched distro, other UNC, relative, native, and SSH/non-WSL cases. Assert both create/attach CWD and `coldRestore.cwd`.
- `orca-runtime.test.ts` and IPC PTY tests: context exists before early daemon output and before headless seeding; Windows-host worktree with a selected WSL distro; WSL UNC fallback after reconstruction; attach correction; PTY-ID reuse; simultaneous distros; local native and SSH isolation.
- Run focused tests, then `pnpm typecheck` and `pnpm lint`.
- Electron on native Windows: in a real Ubuntu WSL pane, emit the exact hostname OSC 7, sleep/wake twice, run `pwd` after each wake, and verify no `DaemonProtocolError`. Native UNC semantics are covered by deterministic unit tests; a screenshot of an arbitrary UNC string is not meaningful validation.
## UI quality and review evidence
There is no UI, layout, copy, or interaction change, so the Stage 5 visual-quality loop is skipped. Terminal content, CWD, and adjacent native/SSH behavior must remain unchanged.
Electron validation still requires three evidence screenshots for user review:
1. Before sleep: the WSL terminal shows the printed hostname/emission command and `pwd`.
2. After the first wake: the same pane shows the same `pwd` and no wake error.
3. After the second wake: the same pane again shows the same `pwd` and no wake error.
## Lightweight engineering review
- **Scope:** Parser context, immutable context propagation, history replay, and narrow legacy recovery. Runtime/IPC fields are necessary because parsing begins outside the daemon and may precede spawn completion.
- **Architecture/data flow:** One resolved distro drives every parser for one PTY incarnation. The URI hostname remains metadata; it never selects path namespace or distro.
- **Failure modes:** Covers missing/stale context, incremental replay, probe/create races, sticky restore, mismatched external history, split chunks, concurrent attaches, multi-window reuse, multi-distro isolation, PTY-ID reuse, and SSH/native boundaries.
- **Tests:** Requires parser tables, propagation tests at every emulator construction site, all adapter restore branches, runtime early-byte/seed races, and the deterministic Windows Electron reproduction twice.
- **Performance/blast radius:** One optional string per PTY/session and bounded conversion per OSC 7; no probes or new hot-path I/O. Non-WSL behavior is unchanged when the option is absent.
- **UI/screenshots:** No design-review loop. Three Electron screenshots are required as functional evidence; native UNC stays an automated regression test.
- **Residual risk:** Legacy checkpoints created from a non-machine hostname cannot be distinguished safely from a real UNC and therefore fall back to the requested CWD. A renamed/uninstalled distro still fails normally; this change does not guess a replacement.
## Rollout
1. Centralize distro resolution and WSL path conversion.
2. Make the parser, daemon Session, and history replay distro-aware.
3. Add allowlisted legacy recovery and keep spawn/cold-restore metadata consistent.
4. Make runtime context available before output/seeding and reset it per incarnation.
5. Add regressions, run static checks, then validate two Windows sleep/wake cycles with review screenshots.
