The stale-owner fallback in the session controller re-routed any worktree whose
catalog partition had no tabs to whichever other partition held tabs. Only
`runtime:` environment ids rotate across relay restarts; `repoId::path` legitimately
repeats across hosts, so an SSH workspace close could retire the local copy's
tabs and resume records, or flip owners mid-close and strand the SSH PTY.
Restrict the fallback to runtime hosts, and pin the session partition once per
workspace close so record clearing targets the partition that owned the tabs.

* fix(ci): size the Windows launcher-compile test budget from measurement
`native-smoke (windows-latest)` fails ~4.5% of runs on
`preserves a multiline argument through the compiled remote launcher`
with "Test timed out in 15000ms" — on unrelated PRs, for reasons that
have nothing to do with them. Across 176 sampled attempts it is the only
red that job produced, and it hit seven different PRs in two days:
#16900, #16904, #16915, #16955 (twice), #16979, #17014, #17085.
The test is six process creations: powershell.exe forks csc.exe, then
the freshly compiled orca.exe forks node.exe, twice. Hosted Windows
runners periodically slow process creation down, and this test amplifies
that far harder than anything else in the job. Comparing the 80 attempts
where it ran under 3s against the 12 where it ran over 12s, its own
median goes 2198ms -> 15917ms (7.2x) while the same file's
powershell-only test moves 556 -> 686ms (1.2x), the cmd.exe and Git Bash
process tests in the neighbouring file move 1.4x, and the other 35 files
put together move 1.5x.
Measured across those 176 attempts: 1881ms to 35438ms, p50 4264ms,
correlation +0.881 with the job's total Vitest duration. 8 of 176 (4.5%)
exceeded the 15s cap; 2 of 176 (1.1%) also exceeded the shared 30s
testTimeout, so deleting the override and inheriting the config is not
enough on its own. 60s clears all 176 with 1.7x headroom on the worst.
This is slow, not hung. Every body here is synchronous spawnSync, so
Vitest cannot interrupt one — the timer fires only after the body
returns and the reported duration is real elapsed time. That is why a
failure reads `× ... 22464ms` under `Test timed out in 15000ms`. The
work finished; the stopwatch was short. Seven reruns at one identical
head measured 2053 / 4680 / 5551 / 8732 / 13506 / 14868 / 21937ms — the
last of those would have been red on code that had not changed.
The 15s came from #8897, which raised this test off Vitest's built-in 5s
default because the job then ran bare `pnpm vitest run`. #8909 landed
3h27m later and pointed the job at config/vitest.config.ts, which is the
real fix for that. The constant stayed behind and has been the binding
budget ever since.

* Fix orchestration CLI recovery, settled-Dispatch mail, and guide defects
Five reported orchestration CLI defects, verified individually before fixing.
Two were real code defects, one was a docs error, one was correct as-is, and
one was correct on both ends except for its recovery wording.
- Mail addressed to a settled `dispatch:<id>` was accepted and silently dropped.
Local sends bypassed the settlement check the federated branch already had, so
the caller was told success for a delivery no worker would ever read. Reject
with `dispatch_inactive` and name the Run mailbox to use instead.
- A lost mutation response offered no read-only way to ask whether it took
effect. `--retry-request` does dedupe correctly, but the recovery guidance
emitted a query command only when the payload carried a dispatch id, which is
exactly what a lost response lacks. Add read-only
`orca orchestration request-show --request <id>` over the durable receipt
ledger, and always emit a read-only step before the keyed retry.
- The bundled `orca-cli` guide documented `check --unread --inject`, a flag the
parser rejects. Correct it to `--format` and add a ratchet that runs every
orchestration invocation in the bundled guides through the real CLI parser.
- `check --json` is one stdout document and its keepalives are stderr-only; the
reported `Extra data: line 2` came from merging the streams. Document the
contract rather than changing the wire.
- A rejected lifecycle message is loud on both ends already, but the rejection
never named the flag that supplies the missing capability. Name it.
* Harden orchestration mutation recovery guidance
Snapshotting a VM on which `orca serve` has already run captures the
runtime's user-data dir into the image. Every VM booted from that image
then shares one pairing identity and one agent-session-authority key,
which defeats the per-device token design.
Confirmed by booting two VMs from one such snapshot: both emitted
identical deviceToken and pairedDeviceId.
Adds the rule to the base-snapshot section and repeats it for the
agent-auth layer, which is the likelier place to start the runtime by
hand while smoke-testing. Says to delete the whole user-data dir rather
than a named file list, since that list drifts as Orca adds state.
* style: format codebase
* style: format codebase
* refactor: extract skill install dialog footer and content
Extract footer and content sections from SkillInstallDialog and
SkillInstallManagementDialog into separate components for improved
maintainability and clarity of component responsibilities.
* feat(orchestration): surface nested worker depth and propagate it across hosts
Builds on the depth enforcement in the previous commit, which shipped with the
setting reachable only by editing settings.json and with workers never told they
could nest.
Adds the Settings -> Agents control (a 1/2/3 select rather than a free-form
number, which bounds the value without inventing a numeric input primitive). The
key stays absent from the SettingsUpdate RPC schema, matching agentSkillSharingEnabled:
settings.update is reachable from the CLI, so an RPC-writable depth would let a
worker raise its own cap.
Adds a SUB-DISPATCH block to the dispatch preamble, emitted only when the worker
actually has budget left. A worker told it "usually cannot" delegate still tries and
then reports the refusal as a blocker, so the section is omitted entirely rather
than softened.
Propagates depth to federated worker hosts. Previously the home side computed and
stored a depth the remote host never received, so a remote attachment always read
as depth 1. That is correct at the default cap and wrong as soon as the cap is
raised — precisely when someone starts relying on nesting. The field is optional,
so an older Run home simply omits it and the attachment's NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 keeps
the fail-closed behaviour. Enforcement still runs on the executing host against
that host's own cap, consistent with the SSH execution boundary.
* fix(orchestration): close nested depth readiness gaps
* fix(settings): defer nested depth translations
* fix(orchestration): drop federated depth keys that main already landed
The enforcement PR's review pass added the same federated depth propagation
before it merged, so replaying this branch onto main produced duplicate object
keys. Keep main's versions -- its schema entry validates an integer >= 1 rather
than any finite number.
* fix(settings): label nested worker depth select
* fix(settings): move nested depth to orchestration
* fix(settings): refine nested depth placement
* fix(orchestration): enforce nested worker depth instead of an accidental fence
Orca documented that "dispatched workers cannot spawn their own sub-workers
(worker-start is coordinator-fenced)". No such check existed. What existed was a
single Run-binding check in the workerStart RPC: a worker's terminal is not bound
to a Run, so worker-start happened to fail. The rule was emergent, asserted by no
test, and written in no doc — and it leaked. A worker could run-create its own
Run, task-create, and worker-start: now bound, the check passed.
Replace it with a real, configurable depth cap.
Depth is derived from the caller's own active Dispatch rather than from Run
binding, which is what dissolves the run-create bypass: creating a Run does not
stop you being a worker. Enforcement lives in a single dispatch-row writer that
owns all three INSERTs that mint a live worker — the generic claim, the supervised
worker-start path (including every retry), and the remote attachment. Two of those
were missed by earlier drafts of this change, so `creator` and `maxDepth` are
required parameters: a new spawn path cannot compile without deciding, and a
boundary test refuses the SQL anywhere else.
Schema v30 adds depth to dispatch_contexts and remote_dispatch_attachments,
NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 and backfilled to 1 so an unstamped or pre-upgrade row fails
closed rather than reading as a root coordinator. The attachment pane indexes
widen to the five states in which a remote worker may still be running:
loss of contact is not evidence of process death, so an unverifiable worker still
counts as a nesting parent.
Also adds the caller-evidence assertion that workerStart was the only Run-scoped
verb to skip, so a declared --from cannot name another terminal's pane and inherit
its depth.
Default is 1, so behaviour is unchanged unless the new setting is raised. Two
limitations are deliberate and documented rather than papered over: this is a
guardrail and not a security boundary, since a caller whose launch evidence is
unverifiable (any ordinary restored terminal) can declare another handle; and it
is enforced at supervised dispatch creation, so a settled worker whose process is
still alive counts as a root again.
* fix(orchestration): share caller resolution and pin worker gaps
* refactor(orchestration): make the caller resolver's pane contract explicit
Overloads so requireStablePane callers get a non-null string instead of casting,
and rename the attestation opt-out to say what it means: the caller asserts it
itself. A flag called assertEvidence:false reads as "attestation optional",
which is the hole this helper exists to close.
* fix(orchestration): propagate dispatch depth to federated workers
* chore(cli): refresh bundled orchestration guide
Fixes STA-5076.
list-issues capped at 50 by default and hard-clamped at 250, with hasMore buried
under result.meta and no stderr warning for --json, so a page that stopped early
read as a complete answer. Omitting --limit now walks Linear's pages until they
run out (meta.limit is null), and --limit <n> is the only cap, paging past
Linear's 250-per-request maximum to reach it. result.truncated sits next to
result.issues and is set only when a cap actually held results back; human output
prints "truncated: showing N".
The read still has to fit the CLI's 60s RPC budget, so a 20s wall-clock deadline
and a 200-page ceiling stop the walk early and report truncated with a
continuation cursor rather than failing the command.
Also:
- issued --cursor values bind the resolved workspace, so call -> nextCursor ->
call works without --workspace; raw Linear cursors still need one and now carry
nextSteps
- issued cursors whose payload smuggles back `all` or an empty workspace are
rejected at decode, since either would widen the read past the bound workspace
- JSON issue rows carry priorityLabel (none/urgent/high/medium/low), matching
orca linear priority set
- truncated and priorityLabel are optional on the wire, so a host that predates
either is not read as "complete"; readers fall back to meta.hasMore
- the truncation line prints the rows actually rendered, so a remote result with
no meta.returned cannot print "showing undefined"

* feat(computer-use): support macOS middle click and gate the AX click path
`--mouse-button middle` already validated end-to-end through the CLI, the
zod schema, and the provider validator, and both the Windows and Linux
providers honored it. Only the macOS provider rejected it outright with
"middle-click is not yet supported", so the flag was a dead end on the one
platform that has no fallback.
Two changes:
- Add `.middle` to the macOS button mapping. macOS has no dedicated middle
event family, so it rides `otherMouseDown`/`otherMouseUp` with the button
number carried by `mouseButton: .center`; that constructor argument is
honored for exactly the `otherMouse*` types, so no extra field write is
needed.
- Validate the requested button before the accessibility fast path, and skip
that path for buttons it cannot express. Previously the raw string was read
unvalidated, and `performClickAction` only special-cased `right`, so
`click --mouse-button middle --element-index N` (no modifiers, count 1) fell
through to `AXPress` — a left click — and reported success with
`path: "accessibility"`. Any unrecognized button string did the same. This
matches guards the Windows and Linux providers already had.
The button enum moves into `OrcaComputerUseMacOSCore` so it is unit-testable;
`main.swift` keeps only the CoreGraphics mapping.
Also documents `--mouse-button` in the computer-use skill guide, which never
mentioned the flag, so agents on Windows and Linux had no way to discover it.
* test(computer-use): cover macOS middle click in the real-desktop e2e suite
* test(computer-use): prove macOS middle-click delivery
* fix(artifacts): gate agent artifact publishing behind an off-by-default capability
Public artifact sharing was reachable by any agent through `orca artifacts
share`: the Artifacts settings toggle only controlled sidebar visibility, and
nothing in the main process checked a capability before minting a public URL.
Add `artifactSharingEnabled` (default off) and enforce it in
ArtifactCloudService.share/update — before auth, network, or the share-record
write — so the CLI, relay-forwarded remote CLI, and IPC paths are all denied.
The denial carries a stable `artifact_sharing_disabled` code plus next steps
through the RPC error allowlist, so the CLI prints actionable guidance.
list, unshare, and delete stay ungated: turning publishing off must not strand
already-published links. The capability is absent from the `settings.update`
RPC schema, so an agent cannot grant it to itself — only the desktop UI can.

* fix(artifacts): gate agent artifact publishing behind an off-by-default
Publishing is blocked until enabled in Settings → Artifacts. CLI preflights the capability before reading files to avoid unnecessary uploads. RPC surface rejects capability grants so callers cannot self-grant. UI shows opt-in workflow and recovery path when publishing is off. Web clients mirror the host's setting read-only.

* perf(runtime): gate terminal.list visual layouts and stop the false writable claim
visualLayouts is ~31% of a large terminal.list payload (44,208 B of 137,412 B on a live 134-terminal remote runtime) and has exactly one consumer: the human-readable CLI formatter. Gate it behind an includeVisualLayouts request param that defaults to included, so pre-flag clients are unaffected, and have every --json/internal caller opt out.
Also drop the record-backed builder's writable, which was a verbatim copy of connected. terminal.show now states writability explicitly as exactly what terminal.send's PTY gate enforces.

* Revert "Enable accessibility tree (`ax`) command on iOS emulator sessions (#10007)"
This reverts commit 43ae014a64.
* fix(emulator): expose iOS accessibility tree
* fix(emulator): support device-only iOS AX
* fix(emulator): normalize iOS ax to 0..1 and heal missing axUrl
serve-sim's helper /ax reports element frames in absolute pixels, but
tap/gesture take normalized 0..1 coords. Normalize the raw AX node tree
into a compact nested shape whose frames are 0..1 over the device screen
(first root's frame), mirroring serve-sim's own normalizeAxTree, so agents
can feed ax output straight back into input commands.
Also heal sessions that were registered without an axUrl: #9924 only
derived /ax at parse time, so already-active sessions had no endpoint.
The bridge now derives it from the session's mjpeg stream URL, guarded to
the /stream.mjpeg suffix so a non-mjpeg URL never fabricates a bogus /ax.
* docs(emulator): mark ax working on iOS with correct raw-AX-tree shape
Both skill guides and the CLI summary described iOS ax as unsupported (or,
via the reverted #10007, as a normalized "screen + elements" shape that
never matched the endpoint). ax works on both backends: Android via
uiautomator, iOS via the serve-sim helper. Document the real iOS output —
a raw AX node tree (labels, roles, nested children) with frames normalized
to 0..1 — and regenerate the bundled skill guides.
* chore(skills): regenerate skill bundle manifests
CI verify failed because generated skill artifacts were stale after version/skill revision bumps.
* fix(emulator): read ax from explicit device without active session
Fall back to udid-keyed session lookup when a worktree has no active emulator,
allowing `--device` targeting to work the same way for ax as it does for tap/type.
Also clarify in docs that AX frames are normalized 0..1 with top-left origin,
and show how to tap an element at its frame center (x+width/2, y+height/2).
* fix(emulator): cap iOS AX tree at 500 nodes
Unbounded accessibility trees can flood agent output. Enforce a 500-node limit (matching serve-sim's snapshot cap) and mark truncated parents so consumers know the tree was cut.

* Enable accessibility tree (`ax`) command on iOS emulator sessions
Fetch the accessibility tree from serve-sim's /ax endpoint, which requires an
active session but provides the same UI snapshot capability as Android's
uiautomator output. Derive the endpoint from the stream URL when not explicitly
provided by the helper, and route through the bridge to pass session context to
the backend.
* Add ax command routing and backend integration tests
Tests verify accessibility tree routes through EmulatorBridge,
Android backend ignores iOS-specific ax URLs, and ax endpoints
are derived from serve-sim stream URLs.

Review follow-up: the emulator guides still instructed literal
`orca emulator ...` in sh fences with no Linux disambiguation, so on
unmanaged Linux they could launch the GNOME screen reader — the exact
failure the executable-selection preamble prevents. Both emulator
guides now carry the preamble and ORCA placeholder across fences,
tables, and prose, and the cross-platform safety test covers all four
converted guides. Also replaces computer-use's "unless a block names a
shell" carve-out, which contradicted its own POSIX example, with the
unconditional placeholder rule.
