feat(orcad): items 2–7 — degradation, natives, daemon, ops, deploy (#16398)
* fix(ports): stop joining an undefined resourcesPath on a non-Electron host `resolveWorkerEntryPath` branched on `isPackaged` alone and joined `process.resourcesPath`. orcad reports `isPackaged` true — correctly, it is a production build, and ~15 consumers read it that way to gate HTTPS-only skill downloads and the real CLI name — but `process.resourcesPath` is Electron-only and `undefined` under plain Node. So the packaged branch threw `TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string` where a clean "worker unavailable" was the honest outcome. The type said `resourcesPath: string`, which is how it went unnoticed; it is now `string | undefined`, so the compiler carries the fact. A host with no Electron resources tree has no asar to look in, so it falls back to the module directory and lets the caller report a missing worker. Found by the item 1 agent while auditing the same `isPackaged` defect class in the watcher. Verified in both directions: reverting the guard reproduces the TypeError. * feat(orcad): prove node-pty loads before anything requires it Of the two ways node-pty fails, only one is catchable. A missing module throws MODULE_NOT_FOUND. A module built against the wrong libc or Node ABI is refused by the dynamic loader, and in the worst case takes the process down before any handler exists — that is #9902, which crashed the desktop app on Ubuntu 20.04 before a window appeared. There was no libc or ABI precondition anywhere in the tree. So orcad now proves the load in a CHILD process, from main.ts, before anything requires node-pty. Whatever the child does — throw, abort, die on a signal — is data rather than our own death, and the operator gets a sentence naming the host's libc, Node ABI and prebuild slot plus the command to run. Proven-unloadable exits 78 (EX_CONFIG), so a supervisor does not restart an unequippable host forever. A probe that never answered is unverifiable, not blocked: refusing to boot on an inconclusive signal would take down hosts that work. The child dlopens the file node-pty would have chosen, before requiring the package. node-pty's loader walks several directories and rethrows only the LAST error, so a refused binary reads as "Cannot find module ./prebuilds/..." — which sends the operator to install a module that is already there. It also reports through stdout: node echoes the whole -e source above a stack trace, and matching tokens against stderr made the probe's own source text answer for the verdict. Verdicts reach clients as a terminal_unavailable degradation alongside the existing browser_unavailable one, through the same cause-registry shape. degradations[].code is now an open vocabulary; clients already render only `message`. Prebuilds are compiled from PATCHED sources — the patch IS the glibc-floor fix, so an upstream tarball reproduces #9902 — into linux-{x64,arm64}-{glibc,musl} and darwin-{x64,arm64} slots. libc is in the slot name because node-pty's loader falls back to prebuilds/<platform>-<arch> and cannot tell glibc from musl. orcad installs the matching slot at boot, so a host with no compiler serves terminals. The relay's five pure toolchain-diagnosis functions moved to a transport-free module so the Node bundle can reuse them without dragging ssh2 in behind them; the relay keeps its API by re-export. macOS gets `xcode-select --install` rather than the cross-distro apt/dnf/pacman/apk menu, every line of which is wrong there. * test(orcad): pin the node-pty precondition to ground truth, not a prepared host CI's test shard runs `vitest` directly, so `ensure-native-runtime --runtime=node` never prepares node-pty for the Node ABI — `degraded` is the correct verdict there, and asserting 'ok' encoded an environment the shard does not have. Asserting whatever it returned would be vacuous, so the expectation is now derived from an independent require() of node-pty. Verified it still bites: forcing the precondition to always report 'ok' fails the suite. * feat(orcad): run the terminal daemon, and the ops contract around it orcad declared `canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys: () => false` because it did not run the terminal daemon, so every restart, update and rollback SIGKILLed every running terminal — on the host whose selling point is that work survives the client going away. That is the one property `ssh-execution-boundary.md` recommends the peer model for. Item 4 — the daemon: - Port the launch path off electron: `daemon-init.ts`, `daemon-host-relocation.ts` and `observability/logs-directory.ts` now read the `AppEnvironment` port. Relocation additionally asks whether the app root is an asar archive rather than whether the build is packaged, so a Node host answering `isPackaged() === true` no longer walks into an Electron-only NSIS-escape path (same precedent as `parcel-watcher-entry-path.ts`). - `build-orcad.mjs` emits `daemon-entry.js` beside `orcad.js`, scans the forked children's metafiles for electron/node:sqlite, and load-checks the child under plain Node. - orcad spawns and adopts the daemon; shutdown disconnects and never kills it. `canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys` now reads the live provider and is false under degraded routing, where fresh terminals would die with the process. Item 3 — the ops contract (docs/reference/orcad-operations.md): - Bind policy: `--bind`, default loopback, pinned so neither `orca serve`'s wide default nor the connected-device widen can override it, and so a paired client cannot rebind the listener from outside. - Instance lock on the data root before profile load, scoped to the runtime role so it never refuses a restart that a live daemon makes worthwhile. - Supervision: exit codes a supervisor can act on (78 = do not retry), second-signal escalation, a shutdown deadline, and crash-loop containment on daemon respawn. - Health in the readiness payload: build hash, Node ABI, and a PTY self-test that spans both processes — the daemon spawns a real PTY in its own process and the verdict crosses its socket. Both bundle load-checks now assert on exit codes: these bundles are minified onto one line, so Node's uncaught-exception report echoes every string literal in the bundle and the previous message match passed against a bundle that never loaded. * feat(orcad): deploy, activate and roll back a versioned orcad install Plan items 6 and 7 from docs/design/shipping-orcad.html. Install reuses the relay's transaction verbatim — per-version lock, staged SFTP write, .install-complete sentinel, stale-lock recovery — under a parameterized namespace, so orcad-<v>/ sits beside relay-<v>/ permanently (§06). Parameterizing GC is the trap that creates: each model now collects only its own directories, enforced twice (prefix-scoped remote listing plus a local ownership re-check), and a client picks its model from how the host is registered, never from what it finds on disk. Activation is separate from installation, because a versioned directory selects nothing. A candidate is launched, publishes orca_server_ready, and only becomes active if its cross-process health payload passes: right build hash, listening, daemon live, PTY self-test green. A rejected candidate is stopped and the incumbent restarted, so a careful deploy cannot cause the outage it was being careful about. Update and rollback are shaped by the daemon. An update restarts orcad, the daemon outlives it, and the surviving daemon was forked from the outgoing bundle — so live terminals defer the update rather than proceed, and GC pins the active version, the rollback target and the live daemon's bundle. Orca's persisted state carries no schema version, so rollback restores a pre-activation snapshot rather than trusting backward-readability; the point past which it is unsafe is the first terminal created after activation, which the snapshot cannot describe and the surviving daemon still owns. Running the generated shell for real found two bugs the text assertions missed: tar members re-quoted inside a shell variable captured nothing, and kill -0 reports a zombie as alive. * test(orcad): assert the precondition is self-consistent, not environment-shaped The real-host case cannot predict a status: CI's shard runs vitest directly, so node-pty is never built for the Node ABI and 'degraded' is correct there, while a prepared checkout gives 'ok'. The previous attempt used require('node-pty') as ground truth, which resolves the JS wrapper while the native binding loads lazily — it proved strictly less than the precondition checks, and failed CI for exactly that reason. What is invariant on a host with node-pty installed: never 'blocked', and never a degraded verdict carrying an unestablished reason. The injected-input tests keep the logic coverage. * fix(orcad): drop an eslint-disable the rule no longer needs * test(orcad): separate slot placement from the load verdict Both remaining CI failures were the same shape: tests reaching into node_modules for a pty.node that only exists after `ensure-native-runtime --runtime=node`, which CI's shard never runs because it invokes vitest directly. Slot *placement* is the logic worth checking on every host, so it now uses a synthetic payload and asserts the verdict stays honest about not loading. The three assertions that genuinely need a Node-ABI binding are gated on it existing. Verified: breaking slot installation fails both placement tests; with the real pty.node hidden the file is 17 passed / 3 skipped instead of ENOENT. * test(orcad): gate the load-dependent cases on a real load, not on the file existing CI ships a pty.node built for Electron's ABI, so existsSync was true while require still failed — the gate ran exactly the tests that host can never satisfy. It now probes the binding in a child process, so a bad one cannot take the runner down. The self-consistency assertion also allowed too little: 'blocked' is the honest verdict for a corrupt binding, alongside 'ok' on a prepared host and 'degraded' on an unprepared one. What stays invariant is that anything other than 'ok' names an established cause, so a terminal is never declined for a reason nobody worked out. Verified against all three host states: prepared (19 passed), unprepared, and a corrupt binding (17 passed / 3 skipped, no failures). * test(orcad): gate on the whole premise — binding AND spawn-helper CI has a loadable pty.node but no spawn-helper, and a slot without the helper is legitimately 'degraded'. So the previous gate let a test run whose premise ('a complete slot yields ok') that host cannot satisfy. Verified in both states: with the helper present 19 pass; with it removed the load-dependent cases skip (17 passed / 3 skipped) instead of failing. * fix(orcad): preserve degradation types after rebase |

fix(orcad): answer host paths honestly and ship the watcher child (#16369)
orcad's AppEnvironment implemented three of seven AppPathNames and returned the userData directory for the rest — including 'exe', where a data directory is not an executable. Every name now has a Node answer: 'appData' is the platform's per-user application-data root, 'logs' lives inside the data root so a headless deployment stays one removable directory, 'downloads' honours XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR, and 'exe' is the Node binary. getAppPath() is the directory orcad was launched from rather than cwd, so children resolve against the bundle instead of wherever the supervisor happened to be. The watcher child was the load-bearing consequence: resolveWatcherProcessEntryPath probed for the adjacent entry only when !isPackaged, so orcad resolved a desktop out/main path that no deployment has — and build-orcad never emitted the child anyway. isPackaged stays true (consumers read it as "production, not a dev checkout" and it gates HTTPS-only skill downloads); the resolver now asks whether the app root is an asar archive, which is the question it actually meant. The child ships beside orcad.js, and the build forks it to prove it runs. |

build(orcad): gate orcad's own graph, and prove it loads under plain Node (#16368)
* fix(orcad): close the browser-provider gaps The providers landed without enforced coverage, so a regression in either path would have landed silently. - CI: the external-Chromium integration test was gated on ORCA_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE and nothing ever set it, so it skipped forever. It now runs in its own job against the runner's Chrome and FAILS when Chrome is absent rather than skipping, because an unset variable is exactly how it went uncovered. Timeout raised to 120s: a warm run is ~7s but the first launch against an unseeded profile took 30s and hit Vitest's default, and CI is always that cold case. - Electron provider had no test at all. It is the path anyone with the desktop app hits. - Browser unavailability reported one message for four causes, including telling an operator to set a variable they had already set. Fixes a live defect found while covering it: the runtime advertises browser.tabCreate.known-id.v1 unconditionally, so a web client sends a provisional page id for a page that does not exist yet — and the sidecar's generic requestedPageId branch ran require() on it first and threw. Every known-id create against the Electron provider failed. The adoption logic was already there; only the ordering was wrong. Also updates the workflow-parallelism guard, which correctly caught the new job missing from verify's required-check list, and asserts verify actually reads it. * build(orcad): gate orcad's own graph, and prove it loads under plain Node Two gaps the artifact's own comment asked for. The ratchet measured only orca-runtime + runtime-rpc, but orcad imports ipc/pty directly to install the PTY controller, so its graph is strictly larger. The gate could read zero while the shipped artifact regressed. orcad's entry is now a ratchet entry point, and the baseline stays empty with it included. orcad cannot join plain-node-entry-guard — that is a rollup plugin keyed on electron-vite input names, and orcad is an esbuild artifact. But the half that matters here is the guard's smoke-load: scanning the metafile proves no module NAMES electron, not that the graph resolves under plain Node. A dynamic require, a missing native or a top-level throw all pass the scan and fail at runtime. build-orcad now runs the bundle with a bogus flag and requires the argv rejection that only a fully loaded graph can produce. Verified: a bundle that builds but throws on load fails the gate. |

feat(orcad): boot the Orca runtime on plain Node (#15968)
* refactor(host): resolve the app root through the port in fork-reachable modules
`parcel-watcher-entry-path.ts` and `session-scanner-service-entry-path.ts` read the
app root via `require('electron').app` inside a try/catch that already returns null
when Electron is absent. They were therefore correct under plain Node at runtime and
only failed the *static* text check — which is real, not pedantic: the comment in
`ports/port-scan-command-client.ts:19` records that the plain-node-entry-guard fails
on that literal text, try/catch or not.
`hasAppEnvironment() ? getAppEnvironment() : null` gives the identical "no app root
here" answer without the text. That restores `hasAppEnvironment`, which an earlier
commit in this stack deleted as unused — it now has the caller it was waiting for.
Ratchet baseline 27 → 25.
Verified: 74 files / 458 tests; `pnpm typecheck` clean; `oxlint` clean.
* feat(orcad): boot the Orca runtime on plain Node
Closes the last two Electron couplings and makes `orcad` a working artifact:
a 4.43 MB Node bundle that boots, pairs, registers a repo, creates a real git
worktree and round-trips a PTY — with zero `require("electron")`.
Ratchet 2 -> 0, so `config/runtime-electron-baseline.txt` is now empty and its
test asserts exactly that: any reachable electron import is a regression.
- speech: inject the service factories, so importing ModelManager for its type
no longer drags Electron's streaming net.request into the graph
- filesystem-watcher: add a WorktreeWatcherRemoval port. Every entry in those
maps arrives through an ipcMain handler carrying a renderer sender, so a host
with no renderer has nothing to close, restore or forget — the inert default
is what the desktop code does against empty maps, not a stub hiding work
- user-data-path / profile-storage-paths: resolve userData through
AppEnvironment. These surfaced only once orcad pulled the store in
Both host ports now anchor to a realm-global symbol. `vi.resetModules()` gives
the re-imported graph a fresh module copy, so a binding installed before the
reset silently read back as uninstalled.
The acceptance smoke drives both hosts through one code path (`--target
orcad|electron`) and seeds its own git repo, so it is hermetic and asserts the
same contract of each. Wired into PR CI.
* test(smoke): remove the seeded workspace container, not just the worktree
* test(smoke): surface the server's stderr when it dies before ready
* fix(smoke): build node-pty for Node before booting orcad in CI
* fix(smoke): drive the CLI built from this checkout, not one on PATH
* docs(ratchet): say the baseline must stay empty, not merely shrink
* build(orcad): externalize only the native modules actually in the graph

refactor(ipc): split preflight and SSH registry out of the ipcMain modules (#15927)
* refactor(preflight): split agent detection out of the ipcMain registration
First of the IPC extractions the revised design requires. `src/main/ipc/preflight.ts`
mixed 285 lines of agent/tool detection with 35 lines of `ipcMain.handle`
registration, and the runtime calls that detection during normal operation
(`orca-runtime.ts:573`, plus the preflight RPC methods). So the runtime dragged
`ipcMain` into its graph to reach pure logic.
Detection moves to `src/main/preflight/agent-detection.ts` — named for what it
contains, per AGENTS.md. `ipc/preflight.ts` keeps only the handler registration and
re-exports the domain module so existing importers are unaffected. The runtime and
its RPC methods now import the domain module directly.
Ratchet baseline 36 → 35: `src/main/ipc/preflight.ts` is no longer reachable from
the runtime. The gate detected the improvement and refused to pass until the
baseline tightened, which is the behaviour it was built for.
Verified: 2 files / 1,187 tests pass across every suite touching preflight;
`pnpm typecheck` clean; `oxlint` clean.
* refactor(ssh): split the SSH target registry out of the ipcMain module
Second IPC extraction, and by far the biggest win: this removes **eight** modules
from the runtime's Electron graph, taking the ratchet baseline 35 → 27.
The runtime needed five thin accessors from `src/main/ipc/ssh.ts` —
`connectRegisteredSshTarget`, `getRegisteredSshState`, `listRegisteredSshTargets`,
`listRegisteredRemovedSshTargetLabels`, `getActiveMultiplexer`. Each is a one-line
read over module-level state. Importing them dragged in `ipcMain`, `powerMonitor`
and a `BrowserWindow` accessor — and, transitively, `ipc/pty.ts` (8,031 lines),
`ssh-browse`, `ssh-passphrase`, `ssh-relay-deploy`, `ssh-remote-cli-host-passthrough`,
`wsl-hook-relay-launch` and `user-data-path`.
`src/main/ssh/ssh-target-registry.ts` now holds that state plus its accessors.
`registerSshHandlers` populates it; the runtime reads it. The indirection is kept
deliberately: SSH providers register after construction and may reconnect, so
callers must resolve the current generation rather than freeze one.
`ipc/ssh.ts` re-exports all five, so non-test importers are unaffected.
`connectRegisteredSshTarget` still throws `ssh_handlers_not_registered` when no
handler layer registered — a headless host must fail loudly rather than report a
target as unreachable, which would read as `exited` (see ssh-execution-boundary.md).
Verified: 9 files / 59 tests across the ssh, automations and trust-preset suites;
orca-runtime.test.ts 1,183 pass; `pnpm typecheck` clean; `oxlint` clean.
* refactor(host): resolve the app root through the port in fork-reachable modules
`parcel-watcher-entry-path.ts` and `session-scanner-service-entry-path.ts` read the
app root via `require('electron').app` inside a try/catch that already returns null
when Electron is absent. They were therefore correct under plain Node at runtime and
only failed the *static* text check — which is real, not pedantic: the comment in
`ports/port-scan-command-client.ts:19` records that the plain-node-entry-guard fails
on that literal text, try/catch or not.
`hasAppEnvironment() ? getAppEnvironment() : null` gives the identical "no app root
here" answer without the text. That restores `hasAppEnvironment`, which an earlier
commit in this stack deleted as unused — it now has the caller it was waiting for.
Ratchet baseline 27 → 25.
Verified: 74 files / 458 tests; `pnpm typecheck` clean; `oxlint` clean.
* test(ssh): mock the SSH target registry alongside the ipc/ssh mock
Thirty-eight suites mocked `vi.mock('./ssh')` for `getActiveMultiplexer`. That
factory went inert when production started importing the accessor from
`../ssh/ssh-target-registry`, so the real module loaded and the assertions drifted.
Adds a companion registry mock returning the same stub, plus a
`sshTargetRegistryModuleMock` builder beside the existing `sshModuleMock` so the
shared harness stays one place. No assertion changed.
Found by a full-suite run: the targeted ssh/runtime suites were green while
30 tests in ipc/worktrees and ipc/repos were not.
* refactor(runtime): read app paths and the packaged flag through the port
`orca-runtime.ts` is the last module in its own graph that imports `electron`
directly. Nineteen of its uses were `app.getPath` (12) and `app.isPackaged` (7) —
exactly what the AppEnvironment port already covers.
Also removes a dead `const { app } = require('electron')` inside
`getOrchestrationDb`. It was left unused once the path came from the port, and it
is precisely the dynamic-require pattern `plain-node-entry-guard.ts` exists to
catch, sitting in the runtime's own constructor path.
What still binds `orca-runtime.ts` to Electron is now three sites, not nineteen:
`new Notification(...)` (one), `BrowserWindow.fromId` (one), and the
`ipcMain.on('terminal:tabCreateReply')` renderer round-trip — which is the browser
tab path, and the same one that would hang a headless host for ten seconds.
Two suites drove `electronMocks.app.isPackaged` directly; they now install a fake
AppEnvironment reading the same mutable field, so their per-test toggles work
unchanged and no assertion moved.
Verified: 376 files / 4,717 tests across src/main/runtime; typecheck and oxlint clean.
* test(serve): add the built-artifact terminal round-trip acceptance smoke
"The server started" proves almost nothing. Terminal creation dispatches into
OrcaRuntimeService, and without an installed headless PTY controller that path
falls through to a renderer reply that never arrives and times out after ten
seconds. A boot probe, a port bind, and a `host.platform` call all pass against a
server whose terminals are dead — which is exactly the gap the design doc's own
boot proof was retracted for.
This boots the BUILT `out/main/index.js --serve`, parses its ready payload, pairs a
real client over the advertised endpoint, lists worktrees, creates a terminal, runs
a command through the PTY, asserts the output comes back, and asserts clean
shutdown. It drives nothing but the public pairing + RPC surface, so the same
script is the acceptance gate a future Node-only backend must pass unchanged.
The sentinel invokes `process.execPath` rather than `echo`, because the shell
differs per platform and node does not.
Verified both directions: passes against the real server, and fails with an
actionable message when the command produces no output — a smoke that cannot fail
is worthless.
* fix(ssh): fail loudly when the multiplexer resolver was never installed
`getActiveMultiplexer` resolves through a resolver that `ipc/ssh.ts` installs at
module scope. A process that never loads the SSH layer — which is the whole point
of the Node-only backend — would get `undefined` from every call.
`undefined` already means something specific here: "not connected". So a missing
resolver and a disconnected target were indistinguishable, and a host with no SSH
layer would quietly report every target as not connected. That is the
unverifiable-reported-as-exited conflation `docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md`
exists to prevent — the doc is explicit that absence of contact is never evidence
of absence of the thing.
A missing resolver is a wiring error, not a connection state, so it throws, matching
what `connectRegisteredSshTarget` already does for unregistered handlers.
Verified: 432 files / 4,759 tests across ipc, ssh, preflight, automations and trust
presets; typecheck and oxlint clean.
* refactor(pty): stop faking a BrowserWindow for the headless PTY path
`registerHeadlessPtyRuntime` passed `registerPtyHandlers` a stub object cast to
`BrowserWindow` whose `isDestroyed()` returned true and whose `webContents.send`
was a no-op — a window-shaped thing that lied about being a window, purely to
satisfy the type. Adversarial review named it as the same "looks fine, silently
returns a lie" pattern this codebase rejects elsewhere, and it is the shape that
keeps `electron` on a path that otherwise needs none.
`registerPtyHandlers` now takes `BrowserWindow | null`. An absent renderer is
semantically identical to a destroyed one — all 42 call sites already guarded on
`isDestroyed()` and skipped — so `src/main/ipc/pty-renderer-surface.ts` states that
directly: `isRendererGone`, `sendToRenderer`, `rendererWebContents`. The compound
`isDestroyed() || webContents.isDestroyed()` guards collapse into one predicate.
`isPtyWriteEventFromMainWindow` becomes null-tolerant and fails closed: with no
renderer no sender can legitimately match, so every write is rejected. Those
handlers cannot fire headless today, but failing closed is the right answer if that
ever changes.
This is the precondition for installing a PTY controller without Electron, which is
what a Node-only backend needs and what `terminal.create` actually calls.
Verified: 129 files / 2,473 tests across ipc/pty, providers and orca-runtime; the
built-artifact acceptance smoke still passes end-to-end (boot → pair →
terminal.create → sentinel → close), which is the check that matters most here
since this changes the headless PTY path itself; typecheck and oxlint clean.
* refactor(pty): read app paths and the packaged flag through the port
Follows the fake-window removal. `ipc/pty.ts` had nine `app.*` reads — all
`getPath`, `getVersion` or `isPackaged` — which the AppEnvironment port already
covers. The `BrowserWindow` import was also dead after the null-window change.
What still binds this file to Electron is now `ipcMain` (75 uses, all handler
registration) and `powerMonitor` (2). That is a clean statement of the remaining
job: split logic from registration, the same shape already applied to preflight
and the SSH registry.
Test wiring: the shared `pty-ipc-suite-environment` beforeEach installs a fake
AppEnvironment that reads through the existing `vi.mock('electron')` app object
rather than freezing values — suites toggle `app.isPackaged` mid-test to exercise
dev-mode spawn paths, so the port has to observe the same mutable field. One edit
in the shared harness covers every pty suite.
Verified: 128 files / 1,290 tests across ipc/pty and providers; the built-artifact
acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and oxlint clean; ratchet unchanged at 25.
* refactor(pty): inject the ipcMain surface so the PTY module loads without Electron
This closes the round-3 blocker: "the doc never says how orcad installs
setPtyController without Electron."
`registerPtyHandlers` owns the `RuntimePtyController` that `terminal.create`
actually spawns through — the thing a Node backend needs and cannot get from the
provider thunks. The module was otherwise host-agnostic already; the only thing
pinning 8,031 lines to Electron was a static `ipcMain` / `powerMonitor` import used
purely to register renderer handlers that no headless host will ever receive.
`src/main/ipc/pty-host-bindings.ts` makes those surfaces settable, defaulting to
no-ops. Unlike AppEnvironment and SecretStore, the default does NOT throw: a host
with no renderer legitimately has nothing to register against, so not registering
handlers nobody can call is correct rather than a hidden downgrade. The desktop
installs the real objects in `attach-main-window-services` before its handlers run.
Also converts the remaining electron import to a top-level `import type`. oxlint's
`no-import-type-side-effects` caught that inline `type` specifiers still leave a
side-effect import — precisely the "type-only is not enough if esbuild still emits
require('electron')" trap a reviewer flagged.
**`src/main/ipc/pty.ts` now bundles with zero `require("electron")`.** A Node entry
can call `registerPtyHandlers(null, runtime, …)` and get a working PTY controller.
Verified: 128 files / 1,290 tests across ipc/pty and providers; the built-artifact
acceptance smoke passes end-to-end — which is the check that matters, since this
changes how every PTY handler registers; typecheck and oxlint clean.
* fix(pty-bindings): drop two unused eslint-disable directives
CI runs oxlint with unused-disable reporting; the two
`@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` suppressions I added were never triggered by
any enabled rule, so they failed static analysis as dead directives. The `any[]`
rest args stay — they mirror electron's own IpcMain signature, and narrowing them
would reject the real object at the desktop call site.
Verified with the exact CI invocation: `oxlint --format github` reports 0 warnings,
0 errors across the repo.
* fix(pty): install the host bindings per process, not per window
A real regression my own change introduced, caught by the SSH docker E2E
(`paired-startup-exec-readiness` — "recovers startup exec through a headed paired
desktop owner"). It reproduced on rerun, so it was not a flake.
`setPtyHostBindings` was called inside `attachMainWindowServices`, i.e. when a
window attaches. But `registerHeadlessPtyRuntime` (index.ts:3163) calls
`registerPtyHandlers` on the serve path *before* any window exists — so those
handlers registered against the no-op default and never reached the real `ipcMain`.
A paired desktop owner then attached to a runtime whose PTY handlers were wired to
nothing.
The bindings describe the *host*, not the *window*: an Electron main process always
has `ipcMain`, whether or not a window is open. Installing them beside
`setAppEnvironment`/`setSecretStore` at the top of bootstrap fixes both paths.
Verified: 128 files / 1,290 tests; the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes;
typecheck clean; `oxlint --format github` (the exact CI invocation) reports 0/0.
* feat(orcad): de-electron the runtime core and add the Node entry + build gate
**`src/main/runtime/orca-runtime.ts` — 41,048 lines — no longer imports electron.**
Its last three sites go through `runtime-desktop-surface.ts`: a native notification,
the authoritative-window lookup, and the one `ipcMain` channel used by the
renderer-backed tab-create fallback. All three are unreachable without a renderer —
`createTerminal` already takes the background branch when no window exists (#10333) —
so a Node host installs none and the runtime relays notifications to paired clients,
which is the better destination anyway. Ratchet 25 → 24.
Adds `src/main/orcad/orcad-entry.ts`: Node host adapters plus a `startOrcad` that
constructs the runtime, installs the PTY controller via `registerPtyHandlers(null, …)`,
and serves RPC. It sets two defaults the constructor gets wrong for a headless host —
`canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys: false` (no daemon here) and
`getDesktopWindowStatus: 'blocked'` (a Node host can never be promoted to a desktop
window, which is what `'openable'` claims).
Adds `config/scripts/build-orcad.mjs`, which **currently fails, on purpose**: 25
modules still import electron (browser and speech clusters, plugins, jira/proxy,
filesystem-watcher, and four `require('electron').app` one-liners). It names them.
Two bugs found while building it, both worth recording:
- The first bundle looked clean and was not. `electron` was bundleable, so esbuild
rewrote the metafile `path` to the resolved file under node_modules and a check for
`path === 'electron'` passed while the package was in the bundle — it failed at
runtime with electron's own installer message. The check now reads `original`, and
electron is marked external so a residual import fails loudly instead.
- `jsonc-parser`'s UMD build breaks the bundle at load; aliased to its ESM entry, the
same fix `build-relay.mjs` already carries.
Verified: desktop unchanged — the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes, runtime/pty/
provider suites green, typecheck clean, `oxlint --format github` 0/0.
* refactor(host): drop the last two require('electron') app lookups
`computer/sidecar-client.ts` and `ports/port-scan-command-client.ts` read the app
root through `require('electron').app` inside a try/catch. Both were already correct
under plain Node at runtime — they return null when it throws — but the literal text
fails the plain-Node entry guard regardless, which is why port-scan carried a comment
warning it must never become reachable from a fork entry.
Reading the AppEnvironment port gives the identical "no app root here" answer without
the text, so that warning is now obsolete and the comment says so.
Ratchet 24 → 22. Every remaining entry is a real coupling: the browser cluster (15,
which variant B does not ship), speech (2), plugins (2), and jira/proxy-settings (2,
needing an HttpClient port for Chromium session partitions).
Verified: 25 files / 209 tests; acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and
`oxlint --format github` clean.
* docs(orcad): record that the ratchet under-counts orcad's graph
The ratchet reports 22 electron importers; the orcad build reports 23. The extra is
agent-hooks/wsl-hook-relay-launch.ts, and the cause is a gap in the gate rather than
a rounding error: the ratchet measures what orca-runtime + runtime-rpc reach, while
orcad's entry also imports ipc/pty directly to install the PTY controller.
Once orcad ships it must become a ratchet entry point, or the two numbers drift and
the gate quietly stops covering the artifact it exists for.
* refactor(runtime): inject the browser commands factory
Drops 14 modules from the runtime's Electron graph in one change — the whole Chromium
browser cluster. Ratchet 22 → 8.
`OrcaRuntimeService` constructed `RuntimeBrowserCommands` as a field initializer, and
that construction is what pulled in `BrowserWindow`, `session`, `webContents` and the
cookie jars. Importing the class for its *type* is free; only building it costs.
So the class import becomes `import type`, and the instance comes from
`runtime-browser-commands-factory.ts`. The desktop installs the real factory at the
Electron entry. **All ~80 existing `this.browserCommands.*.bind(...)` delegations are
untouched** — a review round specifically warned that rewriting those was the
expensive, risky part, and this avoids it entirely.
With no factory installed, browser commands reject per call with `browser_unavailable`
rather than resolving to a stub that silently succeeds. The runtime already filters
browser capabilities out of `getStatus()` when no backend exists, so clients do not
offer the affordance in the first place.
Also corrects a stale comment in `pty-renderer-surface.ts` that still described the
fake window as present tense; it was deleted two commits ago.
Verified: 451 files / 5,513 tests across `src/main/browser` and `src/main/runtime` —
the entire browser automation suite; the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes;
`pnpm typecheck` and `oxlint --format github` clean.
* refactor(host): extract the plugin client list and port two app lookups
Ratchet 8 → 5.
- `listPluginsForClients` moves to `src/main/plugins/plugin-client-list.ts`. It needed
only three `plugins/*` helpers, none of them Electron — it was colocated with
`ipcMain.handle` registrations, so the runtime's `plugins.list` RPC dragged all of
Electron in to call a function that reads a lockfile. Same shape as preflight.
Dropping it also releases `ipc/plugin-marketplaces.ts`.
- `agent-hooks/wsl-hook-relay-launch.ts` and `speech/stt-service.ts` read `getAppPath`
and `isPackaged` through the AppEnvironment port.
The five that remain are all genuinely Chromium and need the HttpClient port or a
watcher split, not another mechanical swap: `browser/cdp-bridge` (webContents),
`ipc/filesystem-watcher` (ipcMain), `jira/authenticated-request` and
`network/proxy-settings` (net + session partitions), `speech/model-manager`
(`net.request`, which honors app proxy settings that Node https does not — replacing
it is a behaviour change, not a rename).
Verified: 219 files / 1,922 tests across plugins, speech, agent-hooks and the runtime
RPC methods; the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and
`oxlint --format github` clean.
* refactor(network): resolve the default proxy session lazily
Ratchet 5 → 4.
`proxy-settings.ts` needed exactly one Electron value: `session.defaultSession`, as
the fallback when a caller does not pass `options.proxySession`. Callers could already
inject a session; only the default was hard-wired. It now comes from a settable
resolver, so the module loads under plain Node.
**A resolver rather than a Session, because a Session eagerly throws.** The first
attempt installed `session.defaultSession` directly in pre-ready bootstrap and broke
startup outright — `TypeError: Session can only be received when app is ready`. The
acceptance smoke caught it before commit. Deferring to first use is always after ready.
Behaviour with no session is not a degradation: there is no Chromium proxy config to
discover, so `resolveProxy` is skipped and the environment variables become the whole
answer rather than a fallback. Applying rules to a session that does not exist is
likewise skipped; settings are still honoured because outbound requests read the env.
This reaches past Jira — a review round noted `ensureElectronProxyFromEnvironment` is
also on the Claude HTTP path via `oauth-refresh.ts` and `rate-limits/claude-fetcher.ts`.
Verified: 48 files / 526 tests across network, jira and rate-limits; the
built-artifact acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and `oxlint --format github` clean.
* fix(index): merge the duplicate proxy-settings import
CI's code-quality lint (`oxlint --config config/oxlint-code-quality-native-plugins.json
--deny-warnings`) flags a module imported twice in one file. My earlier insertion added
a second `./network/proxy-settings` import beside the existing one.
Verified with CI's exact invocation: exit 0.
* refactor(network): add the HttpClient port and lift BrowserError out of cdp-bridge
Ratchet 4 → 2.
Two unrelated couplings, both of the same shape — a small thing living inside a
Chromium-heavy file.
`BrowserError` is a seven-line error class with no dependencies, but it lived in
`browser/cdp-bridge.ts`, which imports `webContents`. The runtime catches that type on
paths with nothing to do with CDP, so one import kept a Node host from loading the
runtime at all. Moved to `browser/browser-error.ts`; cdp-bridge re-exports it.
`jira/authenticated-request.ts` fetches through `net.fetch` and reads
`session.defaultSession`. `network/http-client.ts` makes both settable. This one is a
**named port rather than a silent fallback, because the fallback is not transparent**:
Electron's net follows Chromium session/proxy state, avoids undici's stale keep-alive
sockets after a VPN path change, and sends a Chrome user agent that Jira's XSRF check
depends on. A Node host gets `globalThis.fetch`, reads proxy config from the
environment, and sends Node's user agent. That difference is documented at the port.
`session.defaultSession` is read per call, not captured at install — it throws before
the app is ready, which is the mistake the previous commit made and the acceptance
smoke caught.
Test wiring: `jira/client.test.ts` installs the port *inside* `loadClientModule`, after
its `vi.resetModules()`, since the reset gives the module a fresh singleton.
Verified: 461 files / 5,616 tests across jira, browser, network and runtime; the
built-artifact acceptance smoke passes; typecheck, `oxlint --format github` and the
code-quality lint with `--deny-warnings` all clean.
* fix(http-client): register the Node fetch fallback with the call-site audit
`global-fetch-call-site-audit.test.ts` guards every global-fetch use, because the
global runs on undici where an unread response body can crash the whole process
(orca#8695). The HttpClient port's Node fallback is a new such call site and was
unregistered — the guard caught it in a full-suite run.
Registered with the reasoning, and the port's doc comment now states the body-safety
contract explicitly: it hands the Response straight to its caller and never inspects
it, so the consume/cancel obligation stays exactly where it already was — with the
caller, unchanged from when they called Electron's net directly.
Two comments elsewhere mentioned the global by name and tripped the line scan as false
positives; reworded to describe the behaviour rather than name the API.
Verified: audit passes; typecheck and `oxlint --format github` clean.
* fix(app-environment): read hasAppEnvironment through the realm slot
