Neil 13ba649c22 fix(terminal): let a runtime-created Windows terminal BE the requested shell (#20825)
* fix(terminal): let a runtime-created Windows terminal BE the requested shell

`orca terminal create --environment <windows-host> --command 'cmd.exe'` never
created a cmd terminal. `--command` is text the provider TYPES into whatever
shell it spawned, so the PTY stayed the host's default shell with cmd running
inside it. Captured on `awin`, whose default is Git Bash:

    $ orca terminal create --environment awin --command 'cmd.exe' --json
    $ orca terminal send --environment awin --terminal term_10656cf7... \
        --text exit --enter
    $ orca terminal read --environment awin --terminal term_10656cf7... --screen
      neil@awin MINGW64 ~/orca/orca ((30f820708f...))
      $ cmd.exe
      Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26200.9445]
      C:\Users\neil\orca\orca>exit
      neil@awin MINGW64 ~/orca/orca ((30f820708f...))
      $

The handle is alive the whole time and `terminal list` shows one healthy
terminal, because the PTY never changed — so the only symptom is that the
caller's terminal is now a shell it never asked for, and every later `send` is
quoted for the wrong one. On `win-lowspec` (default pwsh) the same create lands
cmd inside PowerShell.

Root cause
----------
There are two spawn preflights and they are twins:

- `src/main/ipc/pty/ipc/spawn-preflight.ts` — renderer/IPC spawns, i.e. a
  terminal tab opened in the app.
- `src/main/ipc/pty/runtime/spawn-preflight.ts` — runtime spawns: the CLI's
  `terminal.create`, headless `orca serve`, and every paired remote
  environment.

Only the IPC twin read the caller's requested shell. The runtime twin passed a
literal `requestedShellOverride: undefined`, so a runtime-created terminal on
Windows could only ever be the host default. Everything downstream of that
point — `spawn-options`, the daemon, `resolvePtyShellOverride` in the relay,
`local-pty-launch-plan` — already honoured `shellOverride`; nothing upstream
could supply one.

Change
------
- Thread `shellOverride` through the runtime lane: `RuntimePtySpawnArgs` ->
  runtime `spawn-preflight` -> `RuntimePtyController.spawn` ->
  `TerminalCreateOptions` -> the `terminal.create` RPC's new `shell` param ->
  `orca terminal create --shell`.
- Thread it through the renderer-backed lane too (`createDesktopTerminal` ->
  `terminal:requestTabCreate` -> `store.createTab`), so `--shell --focus` is not
  silently dropped on a local Windows app.
- An agent launch quotes its startup command for the shell it will actually run
  in, so a requested shell now owns the startup-shell family instead of the
  global `terminalWindowsShell` setting.
- Lift the relay's `ALLOWED_WINDOWS_SHELL_OVERRIDES` into
  `isSupportedWindowsShellOverride` in `src/shared/windows-terminal-shell.ts`
  (membership unchanged) so the CLI, the zod param schema, and the relay refuse
  the same names. `--shell` therefore cannot carry a path or a command line into
  `pty.spawn`; only allowlisted bare shell names pass.
- Gate on `TERMINAL_CREATE_SHELL_SELECTION_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY`. An older host
  strips the unknown `shell` param and answers with a healthy terminal running
  its default shell — a reply indistinguishable from success — so the CLI
  refuses before creating anything rather than creating the wrong shell quietly.

`--shell` stays Windows-only; macOS and Linux hosts spawn the login shell and
the relay drops the value off win32 rather than honouring it half-way. A WSL
project runtime still outranks it, unchanged.

Tests
-----
- `pty-spawn-shell-override-parity.test.ts` pins both preflights against the
  exact drift that caused this (verified failing with the fix reverted).
- `createTerminal` passes `shellOverride` to `ptyController.spawn` with no
  startup command.
- CLI: sends `shell`, refuses a shell the host cannot spawn, and refuses a host
  without the capability — in both refusals without making the round trip.
- Allowlist and `terminal.create` schema accept/refuse cases, including paths
  and appended arguments.

* fix(terminal): refuse a requested shell the execution host cannot apply

The first commit made `--shell` reach the spawn, but only a LOCAL win32
execution host applies it: `spawn-options` gates the override on
`process.platform === 'win32' && !args.connectionId`. So `--shell cmd.exe`
against an SSH-routed worktree, or against a macOS/Linux host, still returned a
healthy terminal running that host's default shell — the same
indistinguishable-from-success reply the capability gate exists to prevent, one
layer down.

Refuse instead, before anything spawns. The check sits at the top of
`resolveAgentTerminalCreateOptions`, which every create lane funnels through, so
neither lane has to remember it; the desktop lane additionally refuses a
worktree-less create, which has no execution host to resolve a shell on.

An SSH host's platform and installed shells are not visible to this runtime, and
a POSIX host has no Windows shell to pick. Neither can honour the request, and
saying so is the whole point of the flag.

Docs and the CLI spec now say "refused", not "ignored".

* fix(terminal): refuse a shell that contradicts the project execution runtime

`resolveLocalWindowsTerminalRuntimeOptions` does not merely rank the project's
execution runtime above a per-terminal pick -- it REWRITES the pick, in both
directions, and says nothing:

- a WSL project forces `wsl.exe`, discarding `--shell cmd.exe`;
- a Windows-host project discards a WSL name and falls back to `COMSPEC`
  (`getHostShellForProjectRuntime`), so `--shell wsl.exe` spawns cmd. That is
  the common case, not an edge: `resolveProjectExecutionRuntime` resolves
  `windows-host` for every project that is not WSL, while a repo belonging to no
  project honours `wsl.exe` -- so the same flag behaved differently depending on
  whether the repo was in a project.

Either rewrite returns a healthy terminal running a shell the caller did not ask
for, which is the failure `--shell` exists to remove.

It also split an agent launch's quoting from the shell that receives it. The
previous commit made the startup-shell family follow the REQUESTED shell, so
`--shell wsl.exe --command codex` on a Windows-host project typed POSIX-quoted
launch args into cmd. Refusing the contradiction removes that case rather than
papering over it.

Refuse instead, alongside the SSH and non-Windows refusals, from the same
`resolveAgentTerminalCreateOptions` seam every create lane funnels through.

Also from review:
- the allowlist test looped the list against itself; spell the members out.
- the runtime spec case claimed to prove the pty's shell when it asserts the
  controller received the field; name it for what it checks.

Reported by an adversarial review of the branch.

* fix(terminal): canonicalize --shell and refuse a WSL-path rewrite

Review of the --shell create path turned up two ways the terminal could
still end up being a shell the caller never asked for -- the exact failure
--shell exists to remove.

Bare and mixed-case spellings passed the allowlist but reached consumers
that exact-match the canonical name: resolveWindowsShellStartupFamily
classified `cmd` as the PowerShell family, resolveWindowsShellLaunchArgs
fell through to empty shellArgs (no `chcp 65001`, no OSC 133 bootstrap that
Windows foreground status depends on), and resolveWindowsGitBashShellPath
compares case-sensitively so `Git-Bash` spawned a literal `Git-Bash`.
The allowlist is now one canonical-name map and terminal.create canonicalizes
on parse, so the spawn path only ever sees `.exe` spellings. `pwsh` and
`powershell` stay distinct binaries.

A `\\wsl$\<distro>\...` cwd made the providers force wsl.exe regardless of
the request, and terminalShellOverrideRefusal only inspected the project
runtime -- undefined for a folder workspace with no project. Refuse on the
resolved cwd and the workspace path, judging what the PTY actually gets.

Also: the capability gate reported an unreachable host as too old rather
than unavailable; the SSH CLI shim dropped capabilities from status, so
--shell there blamed the host version instead of naming SSH; and --shell
had no help entry, rendering bare in `orca terminal create --help`. Adding
that entry crossed help.ts's max-lines cap, so the flag table moved to
flag-help-text.ts rather than suppressing the rule.

Adds a behavioural test for the runtime preflight (the one-line fix was
pinned only by a source-text scan), plus coverage for the startup-command
quoting family, the no-workspace refusal, and the WSL-path refusal.

* fix(build): keep tests out of the RPC params catalog bundle

The catalog walk under methods/ already skips *.test.ts, but the contract
directory glob took every .ts. terminal-create-shell-param.test.ts is the
first test to live there, so the bundle pulled vitest into a CJS build and
the generator threw on require(). Same exclusion, same reason.

Neil 981a4821da fix(cli,relay): stop reading an unsignalable pid as a dead one (+ unverifiable-collapse sweep result) (#20098)
* fix(cli): stop reporting an unsignalable Orca pid as a stale bootstrap

`orca status` falls back to a `kill(pid, 0)` probe when `status.get` cannot be
reached, and a bare catch read every refusal as absence. EPERM means the pid
exists under another uid -- an Orca reached via ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH, or one
started with sudo -- so a live app was reported `running: false`, `pid: null`,
`runtime.state: stale_bootstrap`, `graph.state: not_running`.

Only ESRCH proves the pid is gone, which is the rule every other liveness probe
in the repo already applies (`isProcessAlive` in relay/pty-shell-utils.ts,
pack-refs-lock-ownership.ts, runtime-metadata-ownership-watch.ts, and
agent-session-process-identity-probe.ts). See
docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md.

* fix(relay): keep a revived pane whose pid only refuses the liveness probe

`revive` gated each serialized pane on a hand-rolled `process.kill(pid, 0)` in a
bare try/catch, so any refusal retired the pane. EPERM means the process exists
under another uid; only ESRCH is evidence of absence.

The file already imports `isProcessAlive`, whose ESRCH-only contract
`reapPtyProvenExited` documents 450 lines earlier -- this call site just did not
use it. Reuse it rather than keeping a second implementation of the same
concept. Malformed pids still skip, as before.

See docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md.

* fix(lint): clear the casting gate on the pid-probe changes

main tightened typescript/consistent-type-assertions to assertionStyle:
never, which the rebase brings onto these added lines. The CLI probe
narrows instead of casting; the relay test keeps the file's serialize
idiom behind a SAFETY-annotated suppression.

Brennan Benson 9ab0a18e82 refactor(agent-status): isolate legacy status ingress behind one admission point (#20716)
* refactor(agent-status): isolate legacy status ingress

* fix(agent-hooks): move advertised-capability source onto the ingest envelope

ingestRemote() gained a third positional argument in this PR
(advertisedAgentStatusCapabilities) to satisfy a new ratchet requiring
every legacy-ingress call site to name its capability source. Both
production callers pass the same constant every time, so the argument
carries zero runtime information — but Vitest's toHaveBeenCalledWith
matches argument count exactly, so the pre-existing SSH relay
integration test (which asserts a 2-argument call) started failing
even though nothing about the actual admission decision changed.

Capabilities are a property of the producing peer/connection, not an
orthogonal call parameter, so move the field onto the envelope object
instead of adding a third positional argument: ingestRemote reads
envelope.advertisedAgentStatusCapabilities (defaulting to the
unadvertised-legacy-peer set), and both call sites stamp the constant
onto their envelope literal. Call arity stays at two arguments, so the
pre-existing evidence test needs no change.

The envelope never crosses the wire in either caller: SSH rebuilds it
field-by-field from the RPC params, and the WSL path copies (never
mutates) the wire-deserialized notification before stamping the field
on, so this is purely an internal main-process shape change.

Also strengthens the ingress ratchet test that required this: it
previously only checked that the capability constant's name appeared
somewhere in each caller's source, which a stray unused import could
satisfy. It now asserts the actual
`advertisedAgentStatusCapabilities: AGENT_STATUS_LEGACY_UNADVERTISED_PEER_CAPABILITIES`
key:value binding is present.

Neil 231e805b1e fix(lint): enable anti-slop/no-shape-in-symbol-names (#20785)
Flip `anti-slop/no-shape-in-symbol-names` from "off" to "error" and clear
every violation under src, config, tests and mobile.

What the rule bans
------------------
The case-insensitive substring "shape" in any JS/TS identifier: variables,
functions, parameters, types, type parameters, class members, private names,
object-literal keys and JSX identifiers. The one exemption is a statically
accessed member read owned by another value (`zodObject.shape` is fine), so
third-party APIs stay readable without a suppression.

"Shape" names a value's structure rather than its domain role. `UserShape`,
`validateArgShape` and `errorShape` all tell you the symbol is "an object
with some fields" -- which is already what a type says -- while saying
nothing about what the value is for or who owns it. The rule forces the
name to carry the domain instead.

Violations fixed
----------------
689 violations across 109 files at baseline (verified by re-running the
audit against the pre-change tree with the rule set to "error").

Fix pattern
-----------
Rename for the domain role, not the structure:

  -type FieldShape = 'list' | 'map' | 'whole'
  -const FIELD_SHAPES = { ... } satisfies Record<keyof Observation, FieldShape>
  +type FieldEncoding = 'list' | 'map' | 'whole'
  +const FIELD_ENCODINGS = { ... } satisfies Record<keyof Observation, FieldEncoding>

  -function assertGitPushTargetShape(target: unknown): void
  +function assertValidGitPushTarget(target: unknown): void

  -function describeReadDirPathShape(p: string): ReadDirPathKind
  +function classifyReadDirPath(p: string): ReadDirPathKind

Predicates became statements about the value (`isDeltaShapedProviderFrameKind`
-> `isDeltaProviderFrameKind`, `isDeleteShapedDiscardEntry` ->
`discardDeletesEntryFile`, `isSkillsCliAgentKeyShaped` ->
`isUsableSkillsCliAgentKey`). Type aliases dropped the suffix where the
remaining name was already unambiguous (`GhGraphqlErrorShape` ->
`GhGraphqlError`).

No wire-visible name was renamed: no IPC or RPC channel, stream opcode,
request/response param, persisted field, or i18n key. The `--shape=symlink|copy`
CLI flag read by .github/workflows/skill-update-roundtrip.yml is unchanged --
only the local variable holding it was renamed.

Exemptions
----------
They are file-scoped entries in config/oxlint-anti-slop.json, not inline
`oxlint-disable` comments. An inline directive naming an anti-slop rule reads
back as an UNUSED directive under the root lint scan, which does not load this
plugin -- the changed-code quality gate counts that warning, so the comment form
cannot be used for a rule that lives only in this config.

* src/renderer/src/components/browser-pane/annotate/**:
  in the screenshot annotator a "shape" is the drawn geometry -- pen, arrow,
  rect, ellipse, highlight. That is a genuine domain noun, and it pervades
  every symbol in the module.
* repo-icon.tsx, repo-header-project-actions.tsx, mobile MobileRepoIcon.tsx:
  lucide exports the icon component as `Shapes`. The name is theirs, and the
  matching REPO_LUCIDE_ICONS key is the persisted icon name shared with the
  desktop picker -- renaming it would orphan saved repo icons.
* src/shared/onboarding-state-types.ts, src/shared/constants.ts:
  `shapedSidebar` is a persisted onboarding-checklist field and a telemetry
  enum member; renaming it would orphan saved state.
* src/shared/rpc-contract/rpc-send-params.ts: matching zod's own literal `shape`
  property is what selects the ZodObject branch of the conditional type.

No exemption was added merely to avoid a rename. Eight symbols initially
suppressed as "a cross-module refactor outside this change" were proven to have
zero non-TypeScript references repo-wide and renamed instead.

Zod's `ZodRawShape` needed no exemption at all: `Readonly<Record<string,
z.ZodType>>` is its definition, so repo-update-params.ts and
ui-update-value-tolerance-params.ts spell it out instead. Likewise
telemetry-event-classification.ts now reads `.shape` through an `in` narrowing,
which also retires two pre-existing type assertions; three more assertions the
rename had dragged onto changed lines (two `JSON.parse` sites, one node:sqlite
row read) became annotations and an explicit row mapping.

Verified
--------
* Audit reports zero violations; confirmed the rule genuinely fires by
  planting a probe violation.
* node config/scripts/run-typecheck-projects-in-parallel.mjs exits 0.
* Vitest over src/shared, src/main/github/project-view, the annotate module,
  the repo-icon components and the Chromium SameSite electron spec: all green.
* All 66 removed "shape" identifiers grepped repo-wide across every file type;
  none survive.
* node config/scripts/generate-rpc-params-catalog.mjs --check exits 0.
* node --check on every changed .mjs; oxfmt clean on all changed files.
* `pnpm run check:code-quality:changed` reports 0 findings.

Not machine-verified: the 3 mobile/ files (its Vitest run cannot resolve
`expo/tsconfig.base.json` in this worktree), and the WSL- and Playwright-gated
specs. All are rename- or comment-only hunks, read in full.

Neil bfdec26352 fix(lint): enable anti-slop/no-object-parameters (#20781)
The rule rejects the broad `object` type on any function input (declarations,
expressions, arrows, methods, call/construct signatures, function types), plus
local aliases and unions that resolve to `object`. `object` accepts every
non-primitive while exposing no properties, so it documents nothing and pushes
callers into assertions at the boundary.

Fixes all 185 violations across src, config, tests and mobile, and flips the
rule from "off" to "error" in config/oxlint-anti-slop.json.

Approach: replace each `object` input with the type its owner already has.
Most sites took an existing domain type or a type-only import (36 added);
40 new aliases name shapes that had none. Where a value is genuinely only
compared by reference, it gets a named identity token instead of a shape --
`Record<string, never>`, the built-in `WeakKey`, or a `unique symbol` brand,
matching the branding already used in src/shared. Same treatment for WeakMap
and Map key parameters. Two `as unknown as` casts became unnecessary once the
parameter carried a real type and were removed; no new casts were added.

Suppressions added: none. No `oxlint-disable` for this rule anywhere, and no
max-lines disable or per-file bump.

Three files sat exactly at their max-lines cap, so the added type imports were
made line-neutral rather than suppressed:
- src/main/ipc/browser.ts exports the existing guest-registration args type
  (renamed BrowserGuestArgs) so browser.test.ts reuses it on one line.
- pane-scroll.ts takes TerminalScrollIntentTarget through the existing
  pane-manager-types import via a type-only re-export.
- direct-rpc-client.ts drops the identity parameter entirely: the session
  check moved into the sendProbe callback that owns the token.

Verified: anti-slop config reports zero violations over src config tests
mobile; run-typecheck-projects-in-parallel exits 0; 144 affected test files
pass (1749 tests); oxlint and oxfmt clean on all changed files. Mobile has no
runnable test/typecheck target in this worktree (expo is not installed), so
its 6 files were typechecked against a standalone config and diffed against
the base branch -- error sets are byte-identical, including test files.

Neil c0fb04c8d2 fix(relay): open the real null device when detaching Windows stdio (#20808)
* fix(relay): open the real null device when detaching Windows stdio

`openSync('NUL')` does not reach the null device on Windows. node's fs runs
the path through `toNamespacedPath`, which resolves it against cwd and
prefixes `\\?\` — and that prefix turns off DOS device-name mapping, so
CreateFileW creates a regular file named `NUL` in the relay's install dir
and pins fds 0/1 to it instead of to a discard sink.

Verified on a Windows 11 host: `fs.openSync('NUL', 'w')` + a 5-byte write
produced a 5-byte file named `NUL` in cwd. `\\.\NUL` is passed through
`toNamespacedPath` verbatim; the same write discards and a read answers
EOF, with no file created.

It also escaped into shipped artifacts. release-cut.yml runs the relay
watcher fault harness with cwd = out/relay/win32-x64, so every Windows
installer since v1.4.169 carries `resources/relay/win32-x64/NUL`, which
NSIS extracts as `_NUL`.

* test(relay): prove the `\\?\` rewrite on a drive-letter path

`toNamespacedPath('NUL')` off Windows only resolves against a POSIX cwd and
stops; with no drive letter it never reaches the branch that adds `\\?\`. So
the assertion held for the wrong reason and did not demonstrate the rewrite
the comment describes. Assert it on an absolute drive path, which takes the
same branch on every host.

Neil f107499e44 fix(lint): enable anti-slop/no-reflect-get (#20786)
`anti-slop/no-reflect-get` rejects every call to `Reflect.get`. The
reflective read bypasses ordinary property access and throws away the
type evidence the compiler would otherwise give you: the result is
`any`/`unknown` with no narrowing, so a typo in the key or a shape drift
in the source object is invisible until runtime. The rule's remedy is to
parse dynamic input into a named domain type (or narrow it with `in`)
and then read the field normally.

Baseline: 86 violations across 67 files. Now zero unsuppressed
violations under
`npx oxlint --config config/oxlint-anti-slop.json --ignore-pattern 'config/oxlint-plugins/anti-slop/**' src config tests mobile`.

Fix pattern
-----------
44 of the 86 were rewritten. The dominant shape was an `unknown` value
read through `Reflect.get` right after a `typeof === 'object'` guard;
those became `in`-narrowed property access, which TypeScript checks:

  - Reflect.get(value, 'agents')
  + 'agents' in value ? value.agents : null

Two further shapes:
- `Reflect.get(Object(x), 'k')` on a possibly-primitive envelope became a
  small named reader that boxes once and indexes a
  `Record<string, unknown>` (`settingsField` in
  mobile/src/transport/settings-read-operations.ts).
- Tests reaching into private state moved to TypeScript's checked
  bracket-index escape hatch (`runtime['layoutQueues']`), or to a
  documented read-only accessor on the owning class
  (`SearchSubprocessLineAccumulator.retainedCapacityBytes()`,
  `CodexSubagentExecutions.retentionSizes()`).

No type assertion was added anywhere: the diff contains zero net-new
`as` casts, `as any`, `as unknown as`, `@ts-ignore`, or
`@ts-expect-error`, so nothing was laundered into the sibling
assertion rules.

Suppressions
------------
42x `// oxlint-disable-next-line anti-slop/no-reflect-get` across 38
files. Every one is the default-forward branch of a `Proxy` `get` trap:

    get(target, property, receiver) {
      ...
      return Reflect.get(target, property, receiver)
    }

`Reflect.get(target, property, receiver)` is the only construct that
forwards with correct `receiver` semantics; `target[property]` invokes
an accessor with the wrong `this` and silently breaks getters that read
sibling state. There is no typed alternative, so these are suppressed
rather than rewritten.

3x `// oxlint-disable-next-line typescript-eslint/consistent-type-definitions
-- declaration merging requires interface` in
tests/e2e/github-url-smart-input-transition.spec.ts,
tests/e2e/linear-url-workspace-entry.spec.ts, and
tests/e2e/worktree-active-delete-scroll-position.spec.ts. Replacing
`Reflect.get(window, 'x')` with typed `window.x` requires a
`declare global { interface Window }` block, and `interface` is
mandatory for declaration merging. Matches the existing convention at
tests/e2e/helpers/runtime-types.ts:63.

1x `// eslint-disable-next-line no-var -- main-process gate handle for
this spec` in tests/e2e/project-group-creation-visibility.spec.ts, for
the same reason a `var` global is needed to type the handle. Matches
tests/e2e/agent-session-log-tail-stability.spec.ts:24.

Also updates two source-text anchors in mobile's rpc-recording mutation
harness (mobile/src/test-support/rpc-recording/operation-mutations.ts
and recording-runner.test.ts), which pin the exact text of the rewritten
line in settings-read-operations.ts and would otherwise fail with
"Mutant anchor matched 0 sites, expected 1".

Neil 49e5fa597a refactor(lint): enable anti-slop/no-reflect-apply (#20782)
`anti-slop/no-reflect-apply` rejects `Reflect.apply(fn, thisArg, argsArray)`.
It defeats the call-signature checks TypeScript applies to an ordinary call:
the args array is checked as an array, not positionally against the callee's
parameters, so arity and type errors pass silently. Dynamic dispatch belongs
behind a named interface, not behind a reflective call.

Flipped the rule from "off" to "error" and cleared all 17 baseline violations
across `src config tests mobile` (16 sites; one file had two).

Fix pattern: `Reflect.apply(fn, recv, args)` becomes `fn.call(recv, ...args)`,
or a direct method call when the implicit receiver is already the right object.
The receiver is preserved at every site.

Where the callee is a captured built-in whose overloads split on an argument's
shape (`String.prototype.split`, `JSON.stringify`), a call-signature capture no
longer compiles once the args are passed positionally. Those three sites capture
the function through a method-shaped type
(`{ split(separator: unknown, limit?: number): string[] }['split']`), which keeps
the forwarding call checked rather than asserted.

Behaviour notes:
- `diff-section-layout.test.ts` drops a `limit === undefined ? [sep] : [sep, limit]`
  conditional. Equivalent: `String.prototype.split` maps an undefined limit to
  2^32-1, and the `Symbol.split` path forwards undefined either way.
- `workspace-space-compaction.test.ts` forwards `reduce`'s two arguments unchanged,
  so the `arguments.length >= 2` initial-value branch is unaffected.
- `agent-session-history-byte-accounting.test.ts` is the one site where the receiver
  is not literally preserved (`JSON` -> undefined). `JSON.stringify` never reads
  `this` per spec, and restoring `.call(JSON, ...)` would reintroduce the overload
  failure under strictBindCallApply.

No suppression comments added — the rule has zero `oxlint-disable` sites.

`Reflect.apply` still appears at electron.vite.config.ts:159, inside a template
literal of generated bootstrap source. That is string content, not lintable code.

* feat(ai-vault-search): persist agent-session search consent and retention

Two booleans and nothing else: `enabled` and `historyDays`, off by default
because building the index reads every transcript on the machine. No `paused` --
the PR 3 indexer is immutable, so every change is close-and-construct.

The settings IPC normalizes a write like every other field and hands the change
to the index; there is no UI for it until PR 8.

The object that owns a host's live index and the three recipes that change it.
The indexer is immutable, so a settings change is close-and-construct, disabling
is close with no replacement, and clearing is close, remove the database,
construct. The new instance's first sweep purges a narrowed window and admits a
widened one, so neither needs a code path.

The database sits beside the scanner's parse cache, one file per host. A runtime
with no node:sqlite can hold no index at all, which the Node 18 floor on orcad
and the relay makes a real case rather than a hypothetical one.

* feat(ai-vault): let the scanner child own the session search index

The transcript reader runs in that child, so the index consumer has to as well:
one read serves both the session list and the index. Three request operations
(search, status, reconcile) and one fire-and-forget settings message carry
everything a parent needs; main never opens the database file.

The init frame becomes a factory because it is read at every spawn, so a
respawned child sees current consent rather than the first frame's. A child
holding a running index is never idle from the parent's side, so idle retirement
is suppressed while the index is on -- retiring it would stop the reconcile loop
until some later scan happened to respawn one.

Both files this lands in were already at the max-lines ceiling, so three
collaborators move to where they belong rather than being disabled around: the
invalidation deadline into the class that owns invalidations, call cancellation
and the start requeue into the call-state module, and orcad's flag parsing into
its own file.

* feat(ai-vault-search): register a search service on every host that answers

Without a registered service a host answers no-service, which means "this host
does not have the feature" rather than "the index is off". All three hosts now
answer the second thing.

The desktop forwards to the scanner child. orcad and the SSH relay daemon have
no such child -- orcad ships only the watcher and daemon entries, and the relay's
AI Vault sidecar runs the remote scanner, which publishes nothing to the
transcript channel -- so on those two the index lives in the process that would
drive its reads, gated on a runtime that has node:sqlite at all.

The relay registers with consent off and no way to turn it on: nothing carries a
setting to a remote host yet. That is the honest state, and it is still worth
registering, because it is what tells a client the difference between off and
too old.

* test(ai-vault-search): price a warm pass over five thousand transcripts

The number the reconcile interval will be revisited against, measured rather
than argued: a warm sweep stats every file under every root, a warm cycle stats
the newest N per agent, and neither reads what the index already holds. It does
not tune the interval.

* fix(ai-vault-search): answer the casting gate without assertions

main's new type-assertion rule reaches every file this branch touches. All nine
sites drop the cast rather than carry a SAFETY: rationale: the operation guard
narrows with `in`, the sqlite probe narrows the builtin it loads, the child test
keeps the discriminated reply instead of widening it, and the settings resolver
takes `unknown` -- which is what it really reads, since a persisted profile can
hold a value no version of this code wrote.

* fix(ai-vault-search): let a refreshed scan root reach the live index

The parent re-resolves scan roots before every policy push, precisely so a
WSL distro or extra Codex home that appeared since the child spawned enters
the window. The child forwarded only the settings to a live instance and used
the roots solely in its `??=` initializer, so those roots were dropped for the
child's lifetime.

The indexer stays immutable: a structurally different root set closes the pair
and constructs a new one, the same way a changed databasePath already does.
Compare via `sameSessionSearchRoots` rather than a plain JSON compare, because
nothing fixes the key order two producers write; lists are sorted too, since
the indexer walks every root and a re-enumeration that reorders is not a
change. An unchanged set still never restarts a running index.

The orcad and relay in-process hosts resolve roots once at install and never
re-apply, so they have no such seam.

* fix(ai-vault): restart the scanner child the index is holding

Three review items.

The hold keeps a child alive for the index, but only a queued call ever
started one: `pump()` skipped a hold with an empty queue, so an idle indexing
child that crashed, or an `ensureChild()` that failed at start, left indexing
stopped until an unrelated request happened to arrive. `pump()` now starts the
child the hold requires, which is also the restart callback the fault policy
already schedules, so the existing delay and circuit bound the retry exactly as
they bound a queued call's start. `updateSessionSearch` goes through the same
seam instead of its own `ensureChild` call.

A search registers no AbortController, so a cancel sent for a search id was
added to the `cancelled` set and never consumed. Nothing can reach that today
-- no caller passes a signal and the child answers in milliseconds -- so this
is only a leak of ids: consume it when the search settles.

The orcad argument doc claimed a `--`-prefixed value stays a flag. The parser
takes the next token regardless, and orcad-launch-contract.test.ts pins that,
so the doc is what was wrong. Behaviour is unchanged.

Brennan Benson 2ce252f471 fix(grok): announce a completion once, when Grok is actually finished (#20523)
* fix(grok): announce a completion once, when Grok is actually finished

Orca pinged on every Grok turn-end. Grok runs turns the user never asked for:
when a background task finishes it wakes itself, does a little work, and ends
another turn. One request produced several pings.

Grok already reports, on every turn-end, whether it still has work outstanding.
Read that instead of trying to classify which turns are "real":

  backgroundTasks absent          -> silent, this is the session-end tail
  StopFailure / StopCancelled     -> announce, a failure is never hidden
  stopHookActive                  -> silent, a Stop hook is keeping it working
  a shell task or subagent running -> silent, the work is not done
  otherwise                       -> announce

Nothing here knows what an auto-wake turn is. A turn that ends with work
outstanding stays quiet; the later turn where that work is finally done is the
one that announces. That is also why this survives the case where Grok completes
a user's goal inside one of those turns — prefix-based suppression would have
silenced it.

Monitors and scheduled entries are deliberately not counted as outstanding work.
They can run indefinitely, so counting them would suppress a user's completion
permanently, and a lost ping is worse than an extra one.

Also registers StopCancelled, which Grok fires instead of Stop on a user
interrupt, a declined permission, --max-turns, or a no-progress bail-out. Orca
never subscribed to it, so those turns were reported as successes.

Also removes a stale notification matcher that searched for prose the shipping
binary never sends; the typed notification kind is matched instead, and neither
idle_prompt nor task_complete is treated as a completion.

Needs-input behaviour (permission prompts and ask_user_question waits) is
unchanged and stays ungated by background work.

* fix(grok): never hide a failed or cancelled turn behind the background-work gate

The announce predicate checked field-absence before terminal outcome. Grok's
StopFailure and StopCancelled payloads carry no background inventory at all, so
the absent-field branch — added so the session-end tail stays silent — fired
first and silenced every failure and every cancellation.

That inverted the rule it was meant to serve. Before this series a cancelled turn
at least surfaced as a (wrong) success; gated this way it surfaced as nothing.

Terminal outcome is now checked first, so a failure or cancellation announces
regardless of what other fields the payload happens to carry.

The existing tests passed straight through the bug because they built failure
payloads with a backgroundTasks field Grok never sends for those events. They now
model the real payload shapes, verified against the provider's payload
definitions and the captured envelopes.

* fix(grok): settle completion from provider lifecycle state

* fix(grok): fence stale turn ends without prompt ids

## Symptom

Live 2026-09-05 (Orca 1.4.198 client, Ubuntu host): both relay processes `kill -STOP`ped for 20 s, then `-CONT`. The client redeployed while the host was frozen. Its fresh daemon lost the socket bind (`Socket path already in use`) but had **already rewritten** `relay-<id>.sock.credential`. The surviving daemon kept its in-memory credential, so every later `--connect` got `Endpoint credential mismatch; closing socket`, then `Grace started … timeoutMs=0 … ptys=1, clients=0` every ~20 s, forever. Only a manual `kill -TERM` cleared it. Receipts: `review-archive/orchestration-v3-pr16904/smoke-receipts-t012b/E16,E17,E18,E24`.

Three independent defects kept the wedge alive; each is fixed at its own seam.

## Fix

**1. The relay daemon owns credential publication (race-free under two concurrent starters).**
`relay-daemon.ts` binds the socket first, then publishes via the new `src/relay/relay-endpoint-credential-publication.ts`: adopt a valid pre-existing file (older clients still pre-write), else mint 32 random bytes and write temp+rename at 0600. A start that loses the bind exits inside `listen()` and never reaches the file. Why this option and not restore-on-loss or a client-side write: the only process that can *prove* ownership is the one whose `listen()` succeeded, and that proof is atomic with the bind. The client-side pre-write (`ssh-relay-endpoint-credential.ts`) and the launch-command `chmod 600`/`icacls` are removed on POSIX and Windows. The racing test also exposed that macOS reports a mid-bind collision as `EEXIST` rather than `EADDRINUSE`; `relay-socket-ownership.ts` now treats both as "held or stale".

**2. The client distinguishes "no daemon" from "daemon present but not answering", and never rewrites.**
A credential refusal is now typed on the wire: the daemon replies `orca-relay-handshake-credential-mismatch` (same frame type, no new opcode) and the bridge exits **43**; `waitForSentinel` maps it to `RelayCredentialMismatchError`, which the takeover treats as handshake-refusal evidence exactly like exit 42. A relay that holds the endpoint but **never refused** (the stalled-host shape: kernel backlog accepts the probe, handshake gets no answer) is now `RelayEndpointUnresponsiveError`, routed to the relay-lost backoff instead of the terminal Reset Relay path. Silence is not a decision (`docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md`).

**2b. Deploy honours the verdict.** The 40 s live run exposed that the `--connect` catch block in `deployAndLaunchRelay` predates the incumbent probe and swallowed both verdicts as "probe failed, launch fresh", so a fresh daemon was still launched over the live one (it lost the bind by luck, which is exactly the collision in the incident). Held and Unresponsive now propagate; the session backs off on Unresponsive and surfaces Reset Relay on Held. Red-first in `ssh-relay-deploy-incumbent-verdict.test.ts`.

**3. The daemon cannot be wedged by a rotated file, because nothing can rotate it.**
The credential lives in the content-hashed relay dir, and after (1) the only writer is the daemon that owns the socket, so the "file changed under a live daemon" state the incident depended on is no longer reachable in-product. The credential is therefore fixed for the daemon's lifetime, as a plain secret should be. A hand-edited file is refused with the typed reply until restored (tested). Startup adoption of a pre-written file applies an owner-only + same-uid rule (review finding): anything else is replaced by a fresh mint. An earlier revision of this PR also re-read the file on mismatch and adopted it; that was removed as unreachable machinery that turned the credential into a per-handshake file-ownership check.

**3b. Fail closed between bind and publication.** A client that arrives after `listen()` resolves but before the credential is set is refused, not admitted as `unproved`. Nothing can be delivered in that window today; the guard makes the boundary structural instead of an event-loop ordering fact. Red-first in `relay-reconnect-listener-credential-gate.test.ts`.

**Wire compat.** New optional handshake reply only; an old `--connect` hits `Unknown handshake type` and exits 1 pre-sentinel, which it already treated as a generic failure. New daemon adopts an old client's pre-written file; new client still passes `--credential-file` so an old daemon reads it as before. Absence of exit 43 is never used as evidence.

**Also.** `terminal create` on a reconnecting SSH host now says what to do instead of a bare `No PTY provider for connection "<id>"` (prefix preserved; the renderer matches it).

## Tests (red first)

- `src/relay/subprocess.test.ts`: two `--detached` starts race one socket + credential file → exactly one reaches the sentinel, loser exits 1 with `Socket path already in use`, file valid + 0600, a `--connect` reading it reaches `relay.status` and reports the winner's pid. Red before (both starters died: daemon required a pre-existing file), green 6/6 after.
- `src/relay/relay-endpoint-credential-publication.test.ts`: mints after bind; adopts a pre-written 0600 file; replaces a pre-written 0644 file with a fresh mint; refuses a stale credential with exit 43 while still serving the real one, and keeps refusing a rewritten file until it is restored.
- `src/relay/relay-reconnect-listener-credential-gate.test.ts`: a client in the bind-to-publish window is refused and never attached; after publication the right credential is accepted and a wrong one refused; a daemon launched without a credential file is not gated. Red without the guard.
- `ssh-relay-deploy-incumbent-verdict.test.ts`: live-but-silent incumbent → `RelayEndpointUnresponsiveError`, refused → `RelayEndpointHeldError`, and in neither case is `--detached` launched; a failed `test -S` probe still launches fresh. Red 2/3 without the deploy change.
- `ssh-relay-deploy-helpers.test.ts` (exit 43), `ssh-relay-endpoint-takeover.test.ts` (refused → Held even with no `lsof`; silent → Unresponsive, nothing unlinked or signalled), `ssh-relay-session-terminal-error.test.ts` (Unresponsive → `onRelayLost`, not terminal). Deploy/namespace/native-deps tests updated to assert the client writes **no** credential.

## Live proof

New `tests/e2e/ssh-docker-relay-stall-credential.spec.ts` (claimed in `run-ssh-docker-e2e.mjs` and PR source routing), two cases: `kill -STOP` every relay pid in the container, send input during the freeze, hold **20 s** (the incident's duration, which races the mux liveness timeout) or **40 s** (past it for sure), `kill -CONT`; assert status back to `connected`, same pty, same daemon pid, same credential inode and content, relay.log did not shrink (a relaunch truncates it) and has zero `Endpoint credential mismatch` / `Socket path already in use` lines, in-stall input delivered at most once.

Run output (local, fixture image `orca-e2e-ssh-relay:3a864c665ba2cefd`, `ORCA_E2E_SSH_DOCKER=1 SKIP_BUILD=1 ORCA_E2E_FORWARD_APP_LOGS=1 … --project electron-headless --workers=1`, head `c2c20fd994`; re-run identically on the final head after the credential-lifetime change, 2 passed (1.7m), same annotations, and the bind-to-publish refusal never fired):

```
✓ keeps the same daemon and credential across a 20s relay freeze (38.3s)
    relay-processes-stopped: 2          relay-processes-continued: 2
    bridge-pids-before-after: 480 -> 480
    socket-clients-accepted-before-after: 1 -> 1
    in-stall-input-delivered: 1
✓ backs off and reattaches, never relaunching, across a 40s relay freeze (57.5s)
    relay-processes-stopped: 2          relay-processes-continued: 4
    bridge-pids-before-after: 480 -> 1202
    socket-clients-accepted-before-after: 1 -> 3
    in-stall-input-delivered: 1
2 passed (1.6m)
```

Client log in the 40 s case shows the new path end to end: `Relay channel lost … reconnect attempt 1/6` → `Socket probe result: "ALIVE"` → `Socket reconnect failed … Relay failed to start within 10s` → `Relay endpoint incumbent: … verdict=live evidence=accepted-connection holders=unenumerable` → `Failed to re-establish relay … A relay still owns … but did not answer the handshake … Orca will retry` → `reconnect attempt 2/6` → `Reconnected to existing relay via socket`. The 20 s case never left the frozen bridge (same bridge pid, one accept), so it exercises the "silence is not death" side of the same race. The 20 s case passed 6/6 across the session; the 40 s case was red on the prior head (`Socket path already in use` + `Startup failed: listen EADDRINUSE` in relay.log from the swallowed verdict) and is green after 2b. Before the fix the same injection produced a fresh daemon that rewrote the credential and a survivor refusing every client.

The `relay-processes-continued` count exceeds `stopped` in the 40 s case because the timed-out client's `--connect` bridge and the loser-side processes are parked behind the frozen listener when `CONT` runs; they exit on their own once it resumes.

## Gates

`pnpm test src/relay src/main/ssh` 332 files / 3884 tests pass · `pnpm typecheck:tsc:node` clean · `check:code-quality:changed` 0 findings · `check:react-doctor:changed` 0 findings · `pr-e2e-gate-contract.test.mjs` 42 pass · no lint disables or max-lines bumps added.

## Noted, not fixed here

- `terminal list` `orphaned:false` / `terminal close` `ptyKilled:true` for a pane whose relay is gone (`orca-runtime-stop-explicitly-closed-tab-ptys.ts`): different seam, `@ts-nocheck` characterization-covered file.
- On a host with no `lsof`, a stalled relay still cannot be enumerated as the holder; it is now retried rather than declared held, but a relay frozen past the backoff budget still ends in the existing "reconnect manually" banner.

## ELI5

Orca now treats orchestration like a durable control plane instead of inferring success from terminal keystrokes. Agents can tell whether a prompt was accepted or a turn started, replay an ambiguous request without sending twice, and recover coordinator mail after a crash. Completed workers can be inspected, released, or retained, and their panes no longer auto-resume as if the work were still running.

## What changed

- **Run receipts** from `run-create/use/current/show/list` are the row without routing plumbing (`home_database`, `coordinator_pane_key`) and without the duplicate `binding` object.
- **`terminal send` receipts are honest and idempotent.** `input_accepted` and `turn_started` are the only stages; `--wait-submit` observes without resending; `--retry-request <uuid>` replays the exact request against the same process incarnation. A transport timeout keeps the retry ID; only a different runtime answering strips it. Value-less or non-UUID `--retry-request` is rejected on the CLI and the SSH shim.
- **Mailbox delivery is committed before wakeup.** Pointer writes are staged in the DB before any PTY byte, replayed once after restart, and never emit a naked Enter. The watermark that parks concurrent deliveries is released with the DB reservation. Restart rescans pointer-pending and `dispatch:` mailboxes.
- **Lifecycle is a guarded transition graph** (`lifecycle-transition.ts`) with a table-driven test over every caller edge. Task reopen/overturn stays in the public contract. A PTY exit during `worker-stop` is the stop succeeding, not a failure.
- **Worker lifecycle CLI:** `worker-start` (`--spec` creates Task + attempt in one call), `worker-show`, `worker-read` (provider transcript first, bounded terminal fallback with a typed reason, local/WSL/SSH), `worker-stop`, `worker-abandon`, `worker-release`, `worker-retain`, `worker-list` (rowid-fenced pagination, fleet liveness, `attention`, literal `nextAction`).
- **Release is an explicit ownership table** (`decideWorkerTerminalRelease`): only an `owned` resource can be settled, the archive is mandatory where reachable, and an owner whose process is proven exited can always get out of `retained` via `archive_status: unavailable`. User-taken-over, external, and transferred panes stay retained.
- **Settled-worker resume fence** (folds in #17651): a settled dispatch whose pane is still open is fenced at settlement, on stop/abandon/exit, and at startup; lifted on release, retain, takeover, and pane reuse.
- **Liveness is `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited` only**, from execution-host evidence. Fleet projection reads the evidence clock, not the relay delivery clock. A host-certified exit outranks the worker's settled state. `unverifiable` never authorizes stop, abandon, retry, or release, in code or in the guide.
- **Federation:** structured reads negotiate by `method_not_found` so every shipped host keeps transcript-first output; exited remote workers are closed before being reported closed; epoch fencing holds across peer restart, downgrade, and pairing rotation; no per-second forced capability probe.
- **Schema v35:** repairs databases stamped v34 by the pre-fix branch (mailbox_handle default, index predicates), drops the write-only `lifecycle_transition_receipts` ledger and five never-read v31 identity columns.
- **Schema v36:** `dispatch:<id>` mailboxes get a real consumer generation on `dispatch_contexts` and `remote_dispatch_attachments`, bumped and fenced in the same transaction on every re-attach (manual inject, worker-start, federated attach). A stale worker whose Dispatch moved to another process now gets `consumer_fenced` instead of silently acking the new worker's Delivery. Run mailboxes already worked this way.
- **Schema v37:** `dispatch_contexts` records its creator (`creator_handle`, `creator_pane_key`), so a coordinator's context-only self-dispatch is bookkeeping rather than a nesting parent; before this, one self-dispatch made every later `worker-start` from that coordinator fail the depth cap. Pre-v37 rows keep counting (fails closed).
- **Dispatch-mailbox ownership is checked, not inferred.** A `check` from a process whose pane no longer holds the Dispatch, or whose last Attempt was abandoned/failed and moved to another terminal, gets `consumer_fenced` instead of an empty inbox that reads as "no mail yet". `--peek`/`--all` stay readable. A paneless caller still gets `stable_pane_required` with the rebind recovery.
- **Liveness certification is stricter:** a `process_exited` stage whose termination reason is `unknown` (a stop that was issued but never observed) projects `unverifiable`, not `exited`. Federated `worker-show` carries the execution host's verdict and host kind instead of a local guess. A live, ready worker with nothing pending has `nextAction: none` rather than pointing at the `worker-show` that produced it.
- **Wire:** `workerShow` keeps `dispatch.task_id` next to `taskId` for shipped CLIs. `ask --json` uses the standard `{ok, result}` envelope like every sibling verb.
- **Migration start-version detection** treats the two v32 recovery columns as versioned. Before this, every shipped database stamped below 32 resolved to the v6 floor and replayed the whole chain (the v23 backfill synthesized 68 phantom retained workers on a real v30 profile). Verified on a copy of a real 62 MB v30 profile: starts at 30, no row delta, integrity ok, 11 ms.
- **Skill guide** rewritten as a ≤200-line kernel plus seven references, to the outcome-first standard (Result / Done / Safe failure first, conditions not case lists, one done bar, references loaded at the point of use). The canonical loop uses `worker-start --spec`, names `worker-list` for completion accounting, documents `--retry-request` / `request-show` / `--wait-submit`, and requires positive evidence before any stall action. The other seven guides get the same treatment in #18724, split out so this PR stays orchestration-only.
- **`rpc/methods/orchestration-*`** (126 flat files) regrouped into `orchestration/{worker,federation,messaging,runs,gates}/`.

## Why

User reports showed the same boundary failures: false `agent_prompt_stalled` causing duplicate sends (#15180), coordinators unable to trust screen scrapes, cold-parked terminals receiving a pointer without the submit, settled workers accumulating as live tabs and auto-resuming after restart, and no way to tell a stalled worker from a working one.

## Linked issues

Fixes #15180. Fixes #17935 (orchestration skill description is 866 characters; a guard now caps every bundled skill at 1,024). Supersedes #17651 (fence folded in). Advances #16660, #16522, #14907, #13047.

## Review record

This PR was reviewed adversarially after revival: eight independent lenses (lifecycle, mailbox, send, worker, federation, transcript, complexity, live ergonomics), each required to prove findings with a failing test. That produced 16 proven blockers, all fixed with red-then-green regression tests, followed by two re-review rounds and a third fix wave that caught 3 regressions introduced by the fixes and 7 fixes that missed their target; all closed. A final pass (five lenses incl. a live built-runtime smoke, then a re-review of the fix wave) found and fixed seven more, chiefly the stale-worker mailbox steal, the self-dispatch depth wedge, and the unproven-exit certification. Three independent Codex (gpt-6-astra) passes followed: the first found nothing new, the second found and fixed 3 defects (task-status reachability, WSL-local host classification, peer-capability epoch), the third found and fixed 6 (production PTY controller never installed settled writes, ambiguous in-flight pointer failures allowed duplicate replay, SSH/relay deadlines cut off a valid `--wait-submit`, stop-vs-exit race during inspection, and two release-recovery paths for vanished or exited terminals). The full record (findings, proof tests, triage, declines with reasons) is archived outside the repo.

**Rework after the live smoke.** A first live cross-host run on the shipped adhoc build (this Mac, a paired Windows host on the same build, a paired Mac on 1.4.195, and an SSH host) found a P1: a running local worker read `unverifiable`/`missing_status` because the fleet snapshot rows lacked the terminal handle the matcher keyed on. A 59-row failure table over every bug fixed during review showed the same two classes recurring: a fact dropped in transit through optional fields, and two authorities for one fact. Two blind designs (Opus, Codex) converged on the same mechanisms, and the scoped tranches landed here with red-then-green seam tests from the real producer to the real consumer, faults injected only at the transport or hook-ingest boundary:

- **Settlement (data-loss class):** one three-valued `WriteSettlement` (`accepted | refused{reason} | unverifiable{reason, bytesHandedToTransport}`) from the SSH multiplexer through daemon client, providers, controller, to pointer staging. No boolean, no rejection-as-third-state. The two silent degrades that fabricated a handoff are deleted; a provider that cannot settle refuses before any effect. Pointer text and Enter share the contract; a partial flush is `unverifiable`, never `refused`.
- **Evidence identity (false-liveness class):** fleet agent-status evidence is a tagged union (`binding: worker | pane | unresolved{reason}`, `clock: observed | delivery`) minted once at ingest, so a hook row captured on one process incarnation can never bind to a later dispatch on the same pane. The matcher's `!worker.paneKey ||` defaults are gone. One host-scope parser replaces two.
- **Small pre-merge items:** `capability_unsupported` from an old peer is no longer relabelled `host_unavailable`; a producer census test asserts every agent-status consumer path projects a pane-only hook row as `live`.

Two ergonomics defects the second live run surfaced on a real database are fixed here too: a pre-v3 dispatch already marked `completed` projected as `outcome_unknown` / `requiresAction: true` forever (three copies of the outcome ladder disagreed on legacy rows; now one resolver, legacy `completed` reads `succeeded` with nothing to act on, legacy `failed` stays actionable on the failure), and an unscoped `worker-list` enumerated the entire database (now defaults to the Run bound to the calling terminal, `--run` overrides, and the receipt's additive `scope` field says which).

A third live round on the shipped adhoc build of `b082443e1f` (same four hosts) plus an unscripted run in the user's own prompt style (a plain Claude Code shell, `/orchestration`, three workers, zero errors, bound-Run default confirmed) found two more branch defects, fixed with red-then-green tests: a worker freshly started on a paired server projected `unverifiable`/`host_indeterminate` with `requiresAction` for ~3 minutes, including after its own `worker_done`, because the host's federation observation returned `missing_liveness_verdict` for any PTY the liveness register had not yet swept (the host now reads a connected pane it owns locally as `live`; disconnected or SSH-scoped panes stay `unverifiable`); and six pre-v3 completed rows still carried an `input` category because settling through the task-status path or `failDispatch` never closed the Dispatch's pending question threads (both paths close them now, and schema v38 closes threads already pending on settled rows). The guide's `worker-start` examples now show `--model sonnet`, since an omitted model inherits the launcher's default.

A Codex adversarial pass on the tranche diff found one real design hole (identity minted at read time instead of ingest, now closed) and two daemon settlement paths that threw instead of settling (fixed). Two `@ts-nocheck` runtime mixins on these paths were extracted into checked modules; the repo-wide `@ts-nocheck` count is unchanged at 171.

Deletions during review: ~1,900 lines (write-only ledger, unread columns, dead v1 archive path, test harnesses shipped in prod, duplicated liveness and state-machine copies, self-capability checks that were compile-time true).

## Testing

- `pnpm typecheck:tsc:node|cli|web` clean
- `pnpm run check:code-quality:changed` 0 findings; `check:react-doctor:changed` 0
- `pnpm verify:bundled-skill-guides`, `verify:skill-bundle-manifest`
- full `pnpm test` on the integrated head: 72,332 pass / 292 skipped; the only failures were three non-PR files (two zsh live-shell suites hit a node-pty spawn-helper ENOENT while a concurrent native rebuild ran, 44/44 in isolation; `release-checkout.unit.test.ts` is a known 30 s load timeout that passes in isolation on `origin/main` too).
- CI on 70b4811267 (rerun, pre-Codex): the only reds are five SSH e2e specs plus `terminal-send-agent-prompt-submit:198`, each shown failing identically on main (main's E2E workflow is red on its last 40 runs). The terminal-send spec is root-caused and fixed separately in #18707. The Windows hook-service flake (#17721) and the federation load flake did not recur.
- Skills: `pnpm exec vitest run` over the skill gate files plus `src/cli`, `config/scripts`, `src/main/skills` pass; live smoke on the built CLI of `skills get orchestration` and `--full` (7 references).
- live headless runtime (`orca-dev serve`, isolated profile): canonical loop, stop, release, archive read, retry rejection, stale-handle check, SIGKILL-and-replay all verified with receipts
- Live cross-host smoke on the shipped adhoc build of `0d465e7931` (this Mac and a paired Windows host on the build, a paired Mac left on 1.4.195, an SSH host): local, paired-new, paired-old and SSH loops all settle; running workers read `live` on every host and `exited` after release; the old peer reads `capability_unsupported` and refuses release honestly. Injected 10 s relay stall with a send in flight: delivered exactly once after recovery, zero duplicates. Every liveness field across 104 receipts is only `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited`.
- Final live cross-host smoke on the shipped adhoc build of `b082443e1f` (same hosts): every loop settles; 942 of 948 legacy completed rows read settled with `requiresAction: false` before the question-thread fix and all of them after; `worker-list` scope reads `bound` / `flag` / `all` correctly; 122 JSON receipts carry only `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited`. Unscripted prompt-style run: clean.
- Confirmation smoke on the shipped adhoc build of `2da076d4e9` (this Mac and the paired Windows host, both updated): a freshly started Windows worker reads `live` on the first fleet poll and on all 20 that follow, with no `host_indeterminate` at any point, and `exited` after release; all 948 legacy completed rows read `requiresAction: false` with `nextAction: none` after schema v38; every verdict across 60 receipts is `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited`.
- Not physically exercised: WSL hosts, the renderer notification bell (headless has no renderer), same-session fence via a real pane close (renderer-only state), restart mid-delivery on a real app (covered by e2e only).

## Notes

- Remote-wire additions are optional fields or `method_not_found`-negotiated methods; one new Electron-only IPC channel (`agentStatus:legacyWorkerTerminalResumeFence`) never crosses the wire.
- SSH contact loss remains `unverifiable`; the execution host stays authoritative.
- Intentional wire projection change: an SSH host scope with an empty `targetId` now projects host id `ssh` instead of an empty string (remote-wire-compatibility rule 3, old clients decode the same field). A fleet pane key without a terminal handle is now `unidentifiable` rather than matched by pane key alone.
- Found live but pre-existing on main, filed separately: a relay daemon-start collision during transport loss rewrites the endpoint credential and wedges the surviving relay (host needs a manual kill); `terminal create` on a reconnecting SSH host reports an opaque `No PTY provider for connection`; `terminal list` reports `orphaned:false` and `terminal close` reports `ptyKilled:true` for a pane whose relay is gone (orchestration's own projection reads `unverifiable` correctly at the same moment).
- Downgrade after this PR is not a supported path: main opens a v37 database and early-returns (its inserts still work against the v36/v37 defaulted columns), but its one-outstanding-Delivery-per-Run index is a no-op against the branch's mailbox-scoped index of the same name.
- Known follow-ups (not blockers): `worker-list` materializes every dispatch row per call; a positive "agent absent" signal distinct from PTY liveness is a product decision left open (a headless fake agent never reaches `live`, so its `nextAction` stays `inspect`); a context-only self-dispatch still lists as `role: worker` in `worker-list`; `dispatch` task-not-found / task-not-ready / inject-rejected still surface as `runtime_error`; task and inbox receipts still expose raw row columns. Deferred skill product decisions live on #18724.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 975bbdedcc fix(windows): scan ports natively instead of encoded PowerShell (#17861)
* fix(windows): scan ports natively instead of encoded PowerShell

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint scored the relay's Windows port scan as
suspicious PowerShell plus network discovery (T1049). The command line was
`-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -EncodedCommand <base64>` around a
Get-NetTCPConnection/Get-Process join -- base64 next to a policy override is
the highest-weighted token pair on a PowerShell command line, and netstat only
ever ran as its fallback.

Invert the chain. `netstat.exe -ano` is now the primary reader and the owning
process name comes from the shared native process table, which exists to keep
PID lookups off PowerShell. The payload survives only as a last resort, and
without the override: execution policy gates script files, never `-Command`,
so nothing needed it (verified: `-ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Command` runs).

Drop `-p tcp` while inverting: on Windows that protocol name means IPv4 only,
so as a primary reader it would have hidden every `[::]` listener the payload
used to report. Names arrive as `sshd.exe` from the table and are published as
`sshd`, keeping the sshd filter and old clients' rendering intact.

Routes both spawns through runProcess, removing the file from the
child_process and windowsHide ratchets.

* fix(windows): read netstat state by shape and refuse a truncated table

Review of the port-scan inversion found two ways the new primary path could
be silently wrong, both of which would have kept the flagged PowerShell
payload running on exactly the hosts this change targets.

`LISTENING` is not in netstat.exe. It lives in System32\<locale>\netstat.exe.mui
and MUI selection follows the UI language, so the pinned-locale env in
relay-command-env.ts cannot reach it -- a German host prints `ABHOEREN` and the
word test parsed zero rows. The zero-listeners guard then read that as a
blocked reader and ran `Get-NetTCPConnection` every 12-30s forever, or returned
nothing at all where PowerShell is also restricted. Keep the word as the fast
path and, when it finds nothing over output that did contain TCP rows, re-read
by shape: only a listening socket has no peer. Measured on this host across all
four states present (LISTENING 47, ESTABLISHED 49, CLOSE_WAIT 29, TIME_WAIT
213): zero non-listening rows with a zero peer, zero listening rows without
one, and the same 47 rows parse after substituting the German state words.
Shape stays the fallback because `BOUND` also prints a zero peer.

Truncation was invisible: createOutputSink discards overflow, ProcessResult
carries no flag, so a capped read still exits 0 and its head still parses.
netstat orders IPv4 TCP, then IPv6 TCP, then UDP, so a host with tens of
thousands of TIME_WAIT rows would have lost every `[::]` listener -- the exact
loss dropping `-p tcp` exists to prevent, and one the zero-listeners guard
cannot see. Refuse the read instead. A `truncated` flag on the shared sink
would be cleaner and is left as a follow-up rather than widened into this PR.

Also: decline to wait on the shared process table once the request is aborted
(it takes no signal and must not be cancelled for other callers); note the
name lookup as best-effort, since a TTL-cached snapshot can hand a recycled
PID its previous owner name; log once on either fall-through, because both are
permanent and invisible when wrong; and drop a stderr assertion that any
PowerShell autoload banner would redden.

Correcting the cost claim in the previous commit: the aggregate win holds with
the native addon (netstat 21ms vs the retired payload 860ms at 532 processes),
not without it. The addon is optional, the snapshot TTL is 500ms and the scan
cadence is 12-30s, so a relay with no active agent pane never warms its own
cache and pays ~1.4s cold on the CIM path -- slower than what it replaced.

* fix(windows): log the port-scan fall-through on the relay diagnostic stream

Checked where this code actually runs before trusting the log. `console.warn`
did reach a file, but relayLogLine is the right call and the reasoning is worth
recording.

`scanWindowsListeningPorts` runs only in the detached relay daemon: relay.ts
returns early for --connect and --orca-cli, so PortScanHandler is reached only
through runRelayDaemon, and both launchers start it detached with a log file
(POSIX `> relay.log 2>&1`, Windows `1>relay.log 2>relay.err.log` via
Win32_Process.Create). installRelayLogRotation then wraps both streams into
relay.log, which is the file the documented diagnostics tail reads. Verified by
installing the real rotation over a temp path and reading the file back.

So the line surfaced -- but untimestamped, in a log whose format exists so
reconnect flaps can be correlated with the events around them (#7773).
relayLogLine is that format and the relay idiom in 41 other places, and
"since when has this host been stuck on PowerShell" is most of what this line
is for. The test spies on process.stderr to pin the stream and the ISO stamp
rather than just asserting something was called, since a fall-through logged
somewhere unread is the failure being guarded against.

Also fixes a comment that ended its own block early: `relay-*/relay.log` in a
doc comment contains `*/`.

* fix(windows): keep the dominant zero-peer state when reading a localized netstat

Shape alone promoted any zero-peer TCP row, not just listeners. `BOUND` and
`CLOSED` print a zero peer too, and on a localized host their state words are
exactly as unreadable as the listening one -- so a German host with listeners
plus one BOUND socket published a phantom listener. Reachable on an English
host too: with zero listeners a lone BOUND row is promoted AND, because the
result is then non-empty, it suppresses the blocked-reader fall-through.

Group the zero-peer rows by state word and keep only the largest group. A
transient BOUND or CLOSED socket cannot outnumber the listeners (51 against 0
on this host), so this removes the class rather than special-casing the words,
which would just be the localization bug again. An exact tie keeps every tied
group rather than guessing -- no worse than reading shape alone.

Verified against real netstat output: injecting a BOUND row into the localized
capture leaves the result identical to the English answer (47 rows, no phantom
65001). The new test has teeth -- reverting the grouping fails it and nothing
else.

Corrects two claims that were slightly wrong: the docblock said shape was the
fallback because BOUND prints a zero peer, which described the hazard without
saying it was unhandled; and a test comment said an English host "never sees a
bound socket", true only when it has at least one readable LISTENING row.

Also gates the fall-through log per reason instead of per module, so a host
that parses nothing today and truncates tomorrow reports both faults. Same
one-shot cost, and the vocabulary is two fixed strings so the set cannot grow.
That guard matters more than it looks: --log-file rotates stdout only, so the
file stderr can land in is unrotated.

* docs(windows): note the direction the zero-peer majority rule can fail in

The docblock described the tie case and stopped there, which reads as a
complete account of the limits when it is not: a majority rule inverts if the
majority is wrong, and enough transient zero-peer sockets would publish the
phantoms and drop the real listeners. Someone would reasonably have concluded
the rule was safe in both directions.

Trigger numbers and the repro stay in the PR discussion; the code only needs
the reader to know the rule has a direction, and the hatch (defer to the
PowerShell reader, which reads the state word instead of inferring it) since
that is the part a future editor would otherwise re-derive.

* ci(windows): run the real-netstat port scan suite in CI

The win32 suite only self-skips off Windows, so it passed vacuously in
every lane. Register it the way the cmd-shim suite is registered.

* test(windows): lower both child-process ratchets to the ground this PR took

Migrating the port scan off `node:child_process` onto `runProcess` drops
`src/relay/windows-port-scan.ts` from both allowlists, so both offender
counts fall by one. Each ratchet pins the count from below as well as
above, so a pin left above reality fails and re-opens room for the next
direct import to land for free.

* docs(windows): qualify the no-PowerShell claim on the netstat scan

The scan starts no PowerShell of its own, but no released relay carries the
optional `windows-process-tree.node` addon (only dev-channel-win-build.yml
builds it), so the shared process-table read falls back to a CIM scan that
forks one `powershell.exe`. The EDR win is the removal of the
`-EncodedCommand` / `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` shape, not the elimination of
PowerShell. Comment-only.

* docs(windows): record the identity-reader follow-up and the perf table's addon

attachWindowsProcessNames reads only `name`, so it should move to
`readWindowsProcessIdentityTable` once #17866 lands -- on that PR's detailed
reader it would open per-process handles for a field it discards. The reader
does not exist on this branch, so the call stays as-is with the follow-up
recorded rather than pulling #17866 in.

The process-table perf table's two Toolhelp32 rows assume the optional
`windows-process-tree.node` addon. The desktop bundles it; no released relay
does, so on an SSH host the CIM row is the operative number. Comment-only.

* docs(windows): state the CIM scan as the relay's normal path, not a fallback

No released relay carries the optional `windows-process-tree.node` addon --
release-cut.yml has zero references to it and only dev-channel-win-build.yml
builds it -- so the PowerShell CIM scan is what every SSH host runs. The
call-site docstring read as a conditional fallback standalone. Comment-only.

Neil 9927edd631 fix(ssh): let the host say whether it armed the ready marker (#18802)
#18796 made every SSH Codex background launch wait for the shell-ready marker,
but the client cannot see the remote shell. On a host that never publishes one --
fish, sh, Windows, or a relay predating #18796 -- no marker arrives and delivery
falls back at 1.5s where it used to write at 50ms.

The relay already computes whether it armed the marker; publish that as an
optional `shellReadyArmed` on the spawn reply and let the client skip a wait it
now knows is pointless. Absent stays UNKNOWN and keeps the client's own guess, so
an older host behaves exactly as before; false is only ever an answer a host gave.
It rides every reply, false included, or absent would stop meaning "old host".

A host that did not arm the marker did not arm bracketed paste either, so the
released path still submits raw.

Neil ccf3e27800 perf(relay): bound the symlink directory probes a remote readDir fans out (#18752)
`readRelayDir` issued one `stat` per symlinked entry and awaited them all in a single
`Promise.all`. A pnpm `node_modules` is hundreds-to-thousands of package symlinks in one
directory, so expanding it over SSH put that many stats in flight at once, saturating libuv's
four-thread pool and delaying every other relay filesystem operation — including the
interactive reads `fs-list-files-scan-coordinator` exists to protect.

The probes now run through `forEachWithConcurrency` at 8, the cap every other bounded probe in
this codebase already uses (`GIT_COMMON_SNAPSHOT_CONCURRENCY`,
`PRUNABLE_EXISTENCE_PROBE_CONCURRENCY`, `SPARSE_CHECKOUT_DETECTION_CONCURRENCY`).

Results and ordering are unchanged: every symlink still resolves to its target's kind, and
`sortDirEntries` still runs afterwards. The new test builds a 60-symlink directory and asserts
the same 60 stats happen with exactly 8 in flight at peak — the probes overlap, and never past the cap.

Neil 3f84c358f0 fix: recover from an alternate shell install, and close the relay duplicate-echo gap (#18796)
* fix: recover from an alternate shell install, and close the relay echo gap

#18768: a startup profile that `exec`s a second install of the same shell keeps
the pid but loses the wrapper's ready marker, and the recovery probe rejected the
replacement's different canonical path -- costing plain Codex the full 15s
barrier. The probe now also accepts an install that the pane's own PATH resolves,
so a binary merely named bash/zsh outside it stays rejected.

#18767: the SSH relay left plain Codex on early startup delivery, displaying the
launch twice under a slow profile. The shell is the host's to know, so the relay
now folds it into the same rule the daemon uses, and the SSH background client
waits for the marker on any Codex launch. Bracketed paste is now gated on an
observed marker rather than on the intent to wait, so a fallback release on a
host shell that never publishes one submits raw.

The non-daemon local provider needs no change: it hands Codex to the wrapper's
own prompt hook and never writes it into the PTY.

* review: correct an overclaiming comment, announce a silent skip, drop a shim

Readiness review of #18796. The delivery comment claimed waiting "costs nothing",
which is only true on a host that arms the marker -- fish, sh, Windows and hosts
predating #18767 release on the fallback instead. Say so.

The alternate-install recovery tests skip on usrmerge hosts, where /usr/bin/bash
resolves back to /bin/bash; announce that rather than reading as coverage that
does not exist.

Import the line-editor predicate from shared directly instead of through a
re-export left on daemon/shell-ready.

The origin/main merge re-expressed the lane's Claude wiring onto main's split
orca-runtime facade and dropped three wires past green typecheck and lint.

- resolveLaunchArgs discarded its provider parameter, so structured Claude
  sessions were launched with Codex app-server flags; Claude exits on
  --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox, and a Codex arg-parse throw
  could block Claude session creation outright.
- resolveClaudeLaunchEnv was no longer supplied, so the launch resolver fell
  back to the whole process env as configuredEnv and
  buildClaudeChildProcessEnv re-applied every auth var it had just stripped.
  The resolver now merges the Claude overlay onto a strip-applied copy of the
  inherited env, which also keeps PATH intact for withCliRuntimeOnPath.
- The windowsProcessStartTimeAvailable producer was gone while the contract
  field and both consumers survived, so the renderer gate fail-closed and
  structured native chat was unreachable on every win32 host.

Separately, structured Claude pinned CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR unconditionally. An
explicit pin makes the CLI abandon the macOS Keychain even when it names the
CLI's own default, so a default claude.ai account could not authenticate where
the legacy Claude terminal could. Pin only a home the CLI would not resolve on
its own, matching ClaudeRuntimePathResolver, and compare against the env the
child would otherwise inherit so a diverging overlay cannot outrank the
record's account home.

Also await the now-async revealNativeSession in its regression test, and set
the native status before revealing so a rejecting reveal cannot leave a
session released but never marked native.

* fix(claude): scrub case-insensitive Windows auth env

* fix(native-chat): settle handoff outcome-write failures instead of leaking them

A store write failure while recording a handoff outcome escaped the flow
runner's catch handler, so the client never received the failure and the
flow surfaced as an unhandled rejection (seen as an intermittent
agent_session_store_corrupt error in the proven-dead-retry suite, whose
teardown raced the flow's trailing outcome write). Record the failed
outcome best-effort, and drain the coordinator before that test's
teardown removes the store root.

* fix(native-chat): make the structured close-failure toast provider-neutral

The structuredSessionCloseFailed toast fires for any structured session,
but its copy said 'Codex chat', so a Claude structured session that fails
to close showed the wrong provider name. The launch-failure toast is only
reachable behind the agent === 'codex' gate, so its copy stays as is.

The one `experimentalStructuredNativeChat` toggle gates both providers —

Its scope line also said Windows keeps using terminal chat, while the gate
refuses win32 only until the host proves it can read a process start time.
`structured-native-chat-availability.test.ts` already pins that Windows is
allowed once the proof is cached, so the two contradicted each other.

* test(claude): pin @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.251 contracts against a scripted CLI

PR 1 of the SDK migration: dependency + test-only harness, no product wiring.

- Pin @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk to exactly 0.3.251 — not the newest
  release — because 0.3.251 (published 2026-08-28) clears the repo's 3-day
  minimumReleaseAge supply-chain gate with no exclusion, while the newest
  release was minutes old and would have required excluding a brand-new
  publish from the exact control built to catch brand-new malicious
  publishes. Every contract this design depends on was verified identical
  on 0.3.251: the full option surface, no pid on SpawnedProcess (custom
  spawner stays mandatory), env defaulting to process.env when omitted, and
  --replay-user-messages appearing only via extraArgs.
- Exclude all eight bundled CLI platform binaries via
  ignoredOptionalDependencies. The setting lives in pnpm-workspace.yaml
  because pnpm 12 no longer reads the package.json "pnpm" field (it warns
  and ignores it; verified by install ablation). Excluding the binaries is
  what makes Orca's pathToClaudeCodeExecutable override mandatory rather
  than merely preferred. Note: pnpm 12.0.0 honors the ignore list when
  reconciling an existing lockfile but not on fresh resolution of a new
  dependency, so the lockfile's SDK entry was pinned surgically; both
  'pnpm install' and 'pnpm install --frozen-lockfile' verify clean and
  stable against the committed lockfile.
- Contract-pin suite drives the real SDK against a scripted fake CLI and pins:
  unknown type/field/content-block pass-through (and keep_alive interception),
  spawner env fidelity plus the omitted-env process.env inheritance sharp edge,
  extraArgs producing --replay-user-messages, argument parity for every
  CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_BASE_ARGS entry plus --session-id/--resume/
  --resume-session-at, canUseTool wire request_id stability and abort on
  control_cancel_request, one spawn per query, pathToClaudeCodeExecutable
  honored by the default spawner, the exact SDK version, and the eight platform
  binaries staying uninstalled.

* feat(claude): drive the structured transport through the agent SDK

Replaces the hand-rolled `claude -p --input-format stream-json` transport with
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.251, keeping the existing connection
interface for this commit so the acquisition path changes minimally. The
control-plane rewrite is a separate change.

Orca still supplies the process. `spawnClaudeCodeProcess` routes through
`spawnProcess`, retains the child and its pid — the triple the durable lease
adjudicates on — drains stderr so exit errors keep their tail, and hands `.cmd`
shims to Orca's Windows argument encoder rather than the SDK's plain spawn.
`close()` keeps Orca's own bounded tree-kill and exit deadline, so it still
resolves true only after an observed exit.

Launch resolution emits an SDK options object instead of argv; durable
`launchArgs` translate to a typed option where one exists and to `extraArgs`
otherwise, refusing a token neither can carry rather than dropping it. The
child env is always passed explicitly — omitting it would let the SDK inherit
`process.env` and reintroduce the ambient `ANTHROPIC_*` leak. The stdout line
parser is deleted; the SDK owns framing, and unknown frames still reach the
translator verbatim.

* fix(claude): settle the frame the SDK pulled but never wrote

The SDK's input pump is `for await (frame of prompt) { await transport.write(frame) }`.
When that write rejects — the child dies between Orca's liveness guard and the
write — the for-await ends abruptly and calls the generator's `return()`, so the
code after `yield` never runs. The frame was already shift()ed out of `queued`,
so the later `fail()` from the exit path could not reach it and `send()` never
settled: `dispatchClaudeTurn` awaits that send before it can return `unknown`,
wedging the caller and the durable outbox. The pre-SDK transport rejected on the
stdin write callback instead.

Retain the in-flight entry and settle it from the generator's cleanup, and let
fail() reach it too for the pump that never resumes at all.

* fix(claude): keep the agent SDK behind the structured-Claude boundary

The ordinary OrcaRuntimeService graph statically reaches the Claude adapter and
so the transport module, whose first line imported @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk.
The SDK is evaluated whenever the regular runtime loads, before any structured
Claude session is chosen: it sets process.env.NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath,
changing Windows executable resolution for later subprocesses, and a missing or
incompatible install would break normal runtime startup — for a user who never
leaves the terminal/TUI path.

Defer the SDK to the connection, memoized so it loads once per process, and add
the import-graph ratchet: a walk from the Electron main entry that fails on any
static import of the package, plus a clean-fork check that loading the runtime
leaves the Windows search variable untouched and a child-process pin that the
side effect is still real.

* fix(claude): answer list_models so the picker stops serving the seed

sendControlRequest had no list_models case, so every request hit the default
reject; readClaudeStructuredSessionOptions swallows that with .catch(() => null)
and falls back to the static catalog. Every structured session therefore served a
hardcoded model list with no per-model effort levels, no resolvedModel and no
default detection, and nothing surfaced the failure. The pre-SDK transport got the
live catalog from the CLI.

Route it through the SDK's supportedModels(), wrapped in the { models } envelope
the existing parser reads.

* fix(claude): reap the child's descendants before killing it

The forced step of the exit ladder went through the Codex helper, which spawns
`pkill -KILL -P <pid>` and SIGKILLs the parent in the same tick: the parent
usually dies first, the descendants reparent to pid 1, and `-P` matches nothing.
An MCP or launcher descendant of a stubborn Claude child was left running. The
test named for that requirement declined to assert it and killed the survivor by
hand instead, so it could not fail for the thing it was named after.

Route the Claude reap through Orca's existing sweep, which snapshots descendants
while their parent link still exists and signals them before the root goes, and
on Windows uses the identity-gated `taskkill /T /F`. The test now asserts the
descendant is dead; the manual kill stays only as a failure-safe. close() still
returns true only on an observed exit.

* test(claude): wait for the child to record the frame, not just for its report

file.

* fix(claude): coalesce partial deltas onto one assistant item and stop painting result frames

Under --include-partial-messages every stream_event frame carries its own
uuid, and the final assistant frame for a block carries yet another; only
message.id ties them. The translator keyed each delta by its frame uuid, so a
reply painted as one bubble per delta chunk followed by a complete duplicate
under the final frame's uuid. The block's first stream frame now mints the
claude:(sessionId, uuid) identity, deltas coalesce onto it through the shared
60ms seam, and the final frame reconciles onto that same item.

Known SDK bookkeeping no longer reaches the provider-fallback row: result
subtypes are catalogued and settled by the turn lifecycle, an empty thinking
block (redacted thinking) is a modeled kind, a string-content user replay is a
text block, and an empty user frame paints nothing. An unmodeled result
subtype or content kind still lands on the bounded fallback row.

* fix(claude): prove descendant exit at the close boundary instead of on an unref'd timer

close() reported proven=true as soon as the direct child exited while the
descendant sweep's SIGKILL sat on an unref'd 2 s timer, so a SIGTERM-resistant
MCP server outlived the lease release. The reaper now composes the same shared
primitives the Codex structured provider uses: snapshot, verified bounded
descendant termination on POSIX, taskkill /T /F on Windows. The proof is false
whenever descendants outlive the deadline, a retried close re-verifies the
retained snapshot rather than trusting the dead root, and the raw pipe child no
longer goes through the PTY job sweep it never owned a job for.

Measured on macOS: a killed child of a SIGSTOPped parent stays a matching zombie
row in ps, so the root is killed while verification runs rather than stopped
first as the Codex non-group path does.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0161QFm3KVRNJKfdzWVGVNWk

* feat(claude): replace the hand-rolled control plane with the SDK's native surface

PR 3 of the Claude structured SDK migration removes the wire-frame scaffolding
PR 2 kept, so Orca drives the SDK's typed control surface directly.

Inbound permissions move from a rebuilt control_request dispatch to the SDK's
canUseTool / onUserDialog callbacks. The prompt registry now carries the
callback's own resolver: a decodable can_use_tool becomes a durable prompt whose
answer settles the callback; a malformed one is denied without registering; the
SDK's abort signal (fired on control_cancel_request, which the SDK matches and
dedups itself) forgets the prompt and settles it null, and a late answer after
abort finds no prompt and is refused. Closing settles every in-flight callback so
no promise dangles. The claude-agent-sdk-control-bridge that rebuilt the wire
frame is deleted.

Outbound control maps to Query methods: interrupt() for cancel, setModel /
setPermissionMode / applyFlagSettings for options, supportedModels for the model
list, initializationResult() for init proof, each under Orca's own request
deadline and error classification. Cancel is interrupt-receipt aware: a CLI
advertising interrupt_cancel_queued_v1 gets cancel_queued in one round trip,
otherwise the receipt's still_queued uuids are swept with cancel_async_message so
a cancelled turn cannot spawn a later unexpected turn; older CLIs resolve no
receipt. Init keeps the 10s deadline and the unauthenticated-startup guidance.

Every behavior is failing-first and ablation-proven; the toggle-off import
boundary and the accepted loss of unknown-control visibility rows are unchanged.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Pqjduxt5G4rr9aYvtp7rNm

* fix(claude): arm the descendant snapshot before stdin closes and make the tree verdict unproven by default

A healthy Claude root leaves within the graceful window, and the close ladder
only snapshotted descendants when the root was still alive after that window.
So the common close never looked at the tree: `treeExited` stayed null,
`!== false` passed it, and close() reported a proven exit with an MCP child
still running. A root that died before the walk made the snapshot vacuous too.

The proof is now unproven by default. The reaper holds one verdict in Orca's
vocabulary (exited / live / unverifiable), assigned in exactly one place from
the bounded verification, and close() returns true only on `exited`. The
snapshot is armed before stdin closes, while the root can still be walked, and
is verified after the root exits; a root that left before any snapshot could
be armed stays unverifiable rather than vouching for descendants it never
showed us. The shared verifier gains the three-way verdict behind its boolean
face, and the connection reports the root and tree verdicts separately along
with the child's exit status.

One verification per close attempt: the retried close re-verifies, so the
intra-attempt re-reap is gone from the teardown budget.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): verify the Windows tree after taskkill instead of trusting that it ran

`terminateWindowsProcessTree` resolves from taskkill's callback whatever the
error says, so a timeout, an access denial, a recycled root and a surviving
descendant all looked identical to the reaper — which then returned a proven
exit unconditionally. close() reported true and the lease was released with an
MCP descendant potentially still live.

The Windows branch now snapshots the root's descendants while it is alive and,
after taskkill, polls a fresh process table to a bounded deadline: a row still
matching by pid AND creation time is `live`, an unreadable table is
`unverifiable`, and only a table with no match is `exited`. Creation time is
the PID-reuse guard the POSIX path gets from ps lstart, so a descendant that
denied a creation-time query is omitted rather than signalled on a bare pid.
A root already observed exited is never taskkilled: `/T /F` on a recycled pid
would take an unrelated tree down with it.

The captured tree is tagged by platform so neither verifier can be handed the
other's rows.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): release a reservation on a first-hand root exit instead of latching it into manual recovery

Making close() strict about the descendant tree exposed a second defect at the
same boundary. A create-time acquisition has no ownerProcess until publication,
so an unproven cleanup mapped to handoffStage `manual-recovery`, and
adjudication then refuses every later attach with agent_session_ownership_unknown.
A user who was merely signed out, or whose --resume the CLI rejected, wedged the
session id permanently.

Each question now answers from its own evidence. close() is unchanged and stays
strict about the tree. Separately, the lease is keyed on the root's pid and
start time, so when Orca's own child handle observed that root exit and no
descendant snapshot was ever admissible, the reservation is released and the
CLI's exit code and stderr reach the user. A descendant observed still alive,
or a root Orca never saw leave, stays unproven and keeps the reservation.

The settlement records only what was observed: the released lease says the
provider process exited and its descendants were not verifiable, rather than
reusing the wording that claims cleanup proved no child remains.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): surface an API error a result frame reports instead of settling the turn on it

The SDK models an API failure as a SUCCESS-subtype result whose `result` string
is the user-facing error text, with no assistant frame behind it. The translator
suppressed every catalogued result subtype as turn bookkeeping, so that turn
tombstoned its lifecycle and showed the user a completed, empty reply with no
sign anything had failed.

Suppression is now by meaning. A result reporting a failure routes to the
bounded provider-error surface, leading with the provider's own sentence and
keeping the raw frame behind the row's disclosure; ordinary successful results
stay off the timeline as before. A turn the user aborted also stays suppressed:
its interrupt frame already says so, and its execution diagnostic would only be
noise on every stop.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): drop the stream state of turns that never received their final frame

Every streamed delta recorded its block's identity, latest text and checkpoint
length. Only the final assistant frame removed them, so an interrupted turn left
its whole accumulated reply reachable until the session was disposed, and a long
session with repeated interruptions grew those maps without bound. The partial
text was already journaled by the flush that precedes settlement, so the live
copy was pure retention.

That state now lives in its own module, named for what it does — grow a streamed
block's journal row between its deltas and its final frame — and turn settlement
drops every block still awaiting a final. The translator reports how many remain,
which is the invariant: a settled turn leaves none.

Also makes a timed-out process-table read retryable while the root is still
alive. A loaded host can miss the table's one-second deadline, and latching that
as "no descendants" both lost the descendant sweep and, on a busy machine, made
the close ladder report unproven for a tree it never actually looked at. Only
the root's death still makes a missing snapshot final.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* perf(claude): capture the Windows descendant tree from one process-table read

The capture walked the descendant tree and then read the table again for the
creation times the walk's projection drops. Each read is bounded in seconds and
both run inside the close ladder's budget, so the second one cost the worst-case
teardown three seconds for data the first read already held.

The walk is now exported from the module that owns it and runs over rows the
caller has already read, which is also what lets the snapshot keep the
PID-reuse guard the projection cannot carry.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(pty): spend the descendant verification window instead of surrendering on one slow table read

The verification abandoned the whole check the first time a process-table read
missed its own one-second deadline, with seconds of its window still unspent.
On a loaded host that reported a tree unverifiable without ever having looked at
it, which the Claude close ladder then turned into an unproven close and a
retried teardown. It also made the descendant-exit tests flake under a parallel
suite run, for the same reason and with the same honest-but-premature verdict.

A read that missed its deadline is now simply not an answer: the loop waits and
reads again until its own deadline, and only a window that ends without a
readable table reports unverifiable. This can only turn a premature verdict into
one backed by evidence; it never manufactures a proof.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): never let a later failed look collapse an observed live descendant into unverifiable

The reaper's single assignment site latched only 'exited', so a second reap
whose table reads all missed their deadline overwrote an earlier completed
verification's 'live' with 'unverifiable'. The acquisition release gate
discriminates on exactly that pair, so a root exit after such a decay released
the lease over a descendant that had been observed alive. The latch is now
monotone in trust order: exited is final, and live is only ever raised to exited.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HfdhsvSJucLw4cTZxzg2CP

* fix(claude): never prove a Windows tree gone while a descendant denied identification

The Windows snapshot dropped rows that denied the creation-time query, and an
emptied snapshot was judged exited without any table read: a descendant Orca was
refused information about was treated as one that had left. The snapshot now
counts the unidentified rows it saw, and verification caps its verdict at
unverifiable while any exist. Nothing is ever signalled on a bare pid, as before.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HfdhsvSJucLw4cTZxzg2CP

* fix(claude): classify cleanup after a first-hand exit as a root exit instead of a proven tree

When the CLI died between a successful acquire and the host's commit or proof
of the lease, handleExit had already removed the session, so releaseAcquisition
found nothing and reported true. The attach flow then settled exit-proven with
deathEvidence claiming cleanup proved no provider child remains, though the
tree was never verified. The adapter now keeps the exit that removed a
published session until the session is acquired again; acquisition cleanup runs
that connection's close ladder and classifies its verdict exactly as a
start-time failure would be, so the record reads root-exit-observed. The wire
helper keeps that typed classification and its provider diagnostic instead of
wrapping it as unproven, and the router gives up its owner even when the
release throws.

* fix(claude): restore the root SIGKILL fallback the identity gate took away

The direct root kill goes through the handle Node owns, not through a pid:
libuv drops that handle in the same turn it reaps, so the signal either
reaches the process Orca spawned or reaches nothing at all. Gating it on a
process-table probe therefore bought no safety and cost the tree its only
fallback whenever the probe declined -- a first capture landing in the fork's
own second, a recycled descendant pid voiding the snapshot, or a process table
that could not be read on either platform.

Identity verification stays where a bare pid is genuinely addressed: Windows
`taskkill /T /F`, and the descendant sweep's own revalidation before it signals.

Also stops a declined root probe from collapsing an observed `live` or `exited`
descendant verdict into `unverifiable`, and stops a successful taskkill from
reporting `unverifiable` because a later probe found the root correctly dead.

* docs(claude): rewrap the root-kill ordering comment

* Match the Claude structured launch to the terminal path's managed-account auth rules

The SDK path stripped ambient Anthropic auth unconditionally, let an explicit
agentDefaultEnv override beat a pinned managed account, and had no account-switch
guard. Reuse the terminal preflight's own predicate and messages so both transports
strip, refuse, and report identically, and cover the CLI transcript location that
mobile native chat depends on.

* Reach the Claude structured chat lane from the desktop UI

The main process has had a complete, correctly gated Claude Agent SDK lane for
a while, but no renderer ever asked for it: the launch route accepted only
`codex`, and the create path was typed `agent: 'codex'` end to end.

Widen both to the structured provider union that already exists
(`AgentSessionHandleProvider`), and generalize the codex-named create path
instead of adding a Claude twin beside it. The pending-launch registry is now
keyed by agent as well as workspace — a shared key handed a second caller the
first agent's intent, so a Claude and a Codex launch in one worktree collided.

Windows, per agent. Codex's client-side win32 refusal is deliberate and settled
elsewhere, so it stays exactly as it was. Claude's answer is no longer guessed
from the client's platform: a structured session fences its provider child on
that child's process start time, and only the executing host knows whether it
can read one. `agentSession.createSupport` already answers precisely that, per
agent, and had no renderer caller — so the Claude create path asks it before
creating and turns a "no", or a probe it cannot get answered, into the
definitive refusal the launch fallback already handles. Fail closed either way.

That refusal mapping also closes a real gap: the host reports an unsupported
location by throwing `structured_agent_session_unsupported`, which reaches the
client as a transport rejection rather than a refusal envelope, so
`StructuredAgentSessionCreateRefusalError` never fired. The launch would retry
the create, strand itself in `visibilityUnknown`, run no legacy fallback, and
show an error toast.

Close a fail-open hole while Claude and win32 become reachable: `create` with a
client-supplied location, and `ensure`, both skip the worktree-resolving support
check. They now ask the executing host the same question directly, so a host
that cannot fence a provider child no longer creates one on a client's say-so.

Also deletes `structured-agent-session-provider-routing.ts`, a duplicate of
`structured-agent-session-provider-support.ts` with no importers.

WSL, SSH and paired hosts, floating workspaces, draft prompt delivery, explicit
TUI customization and initial session options all keep refusing; folder
workspaces keep working.

* P1-1: make the structured Claude auth policy required and testable

The optional dep plus a {stripAuthEnv:false} fallback meant a dropped wiring
under-stripped silently. Required at all three hops, asserted at install time for
the @ts-nocheck caller, and the settings-to-policy mapping is now a named tested
function.

* P2-3: mobile's default Claude transcript root must follow CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR

session-file-resolver's default ignored the variable the pinned account home
follows, so a CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR launch wrote one tree and mobile read another. The
Task-4 test now resolves with no root override (mobile's own call) and checks the
answer against the root the CLI itself reports, instead of mirroring the code under
test's own expression.

* P2-1/P2-2/P3: close the teardown window, join the live-auth gate, align the refusal

P2-1: a switch beginning inside the acquire teardown left a dead chat and no
replacement. Past that point the launch waits the swap out and refuses only if it
never settles; the entry guard still refuses outright, because nothing is torn down
there yet.
P2-2: structured children now hold the same OAuth-refresh gate a Claude PTY does,
so a managed refresh cannot rotate the token out from under a live turn.
P3: the refusal now matches the strip it guards (case-folded on win32, presence not
truthiness), and the dead structured-to-TUI builder states its auth policy instead
of silently signing a system-auth user out.

* Make the live-auth gate tests independent of sibling connection teardown order

* Do not offer structured Claude under a WSL-only managed account

Structured Claude launches against the ambient Claude config, which the account
service keeps in sync with the selected HOST account. A WSL-bound managed
account lives inside the distro and is never synced there, so on Windows a
structured session would authenticate as whatever the ambient identity happens
to be while the UI names the WSL account — the user is told one identity and
given another.

That was unreachable only because nothing offered structured Claude on win32.
Enabling it makes it reachable, so gate it here rather than patching the auth
layer: refuse the structured path when the active managed Claude account is
WSL-bound, and let the terminal-backed path — which resolves the account per
runtime — handle that account shape.

The answer rides the agentSession.createSupport seam the renderer already
consumes, so no new capability and no renderer knowledge of account internals.
A create the host declines becomes the definitive refusal the launch fallback
already turns into a legacy native chat tab, with no error toast.

Unknown answers refuse. An install with no managed accounts claims no identity
and is fine, but an active selection that cannot be resolved — or account state
that cannot be read at all — is not evidence that the ambient identity is right.

Claude only. Codex resolves its account through a different path and its
createSupport answer is untouched, as is every Codex routing decision.

* Read the structured Claude account gate through the auth policy's accessor

The gate resolved the active account from the account-service snapshot's
runtime map; the auth policy resolves it with
getSelectedClaudeAccountIdForTarget(settings, { runtime: 'host' }). Those are
two sources and two resolution rules, and they disagree on a legacy settings
blob that carries the selection only in the flat activeClaudeManagedAccountId:
the accessor falls through to it, a direct read of the runtime map does not. The
gate would then refuse a launch the policy would have run under host-1 — and in
the mirror case a session could be admitted under a policy computed from a
different account than the gate approved.

Read the same settings through the same accessor so agreement is structural
rather than coincidental, and drop the controller accessor that existed only to
reach the snapshot.

No behaviour change for any state both already agreed on; Codex is untouched.

* Round-3 review fixes: N-1 empty-value regression, N-2 gate leak window, N-4 lost history

N-1: my presence-based conflict predicate refused a terminal launch that works
today. 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=' is how a user blanks a variable and the settings
pipeline preserves that empty value; an empty override cannot beat the pinned
account and the strip removes the name anyway. Back to truthiness for the value,
keeping the win32 case folding.
N-2: enter the live-auth gate only after the exit/close handlers that release it,
so no throw in between can leave an entry nothing reconciles.
N-4: the Claude transcript resolver searches config-dir-then-default and de-dupes,
matching the Codex sibling in the same file, so adopting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR no
longer hides history written before it.

* Run the managed-account gate on every Claude acquisition, not just create

createSupport gates the create path, but a session's account state can change
while it lives. A reacquire after an unexpected child exit re-resolves the
launch and re-derives auth, with nothing re-checking the gate — so a session
created while supported could come back up in the refused shape. With the strip
predicate keyed on there being an active non-WSL account, the WSL-only user's
normalized steady state (accounts exist, none active) does not strip, and that
reacquire reaches the child with ambient auth while the UI names the account.

Gate at resolveLaunch, the one choke point every acquisition passes through,
refusing with the pre-spawn error the caller already handles. Same predicate as
create-time, now sharing one settings reader so the two cannot drift.

Claude only; Codex resolves its account on a different path and is untouched.

The runtime class that wires this does not typecheck its own `this` calls — a
missing hookup compiles clean — so the wiring is pinned behaviourally rather
than trusted to the compiler.

* Move the structured Claude gate out of the @ts-nocheck runtime files

Both call sites of the managed-account gate sat in files whose first line is
`// @ts-nocheck`, so neither was typechecked: three arguments to a one-argument
function plus an undeclared identifier compiled clean. New auth-identity
decision logic had no compiler behind it.

Move the verdict into a checked module that takes the two facts the runtime
owns — the adapter's answer and a settings getter — and decides. The runtime
class now only forwards. Move the gate reader's construction into the checked
installer too, so the nocheck file passes a plain settings closure and never
names a gate symbol.

Every reference to the gate predicate and its reader now lives in a checked
file, so the ablation that used to pass silently is a compile error at both the
create-support and reacquire sites.

Removing the file-level @ts-nocheck is a separate, larger job and is not
attempted here.

* Derive the gate test's auth policy from the settings under test

A hardcoded stripAuthEnv asserts a gate/policy pairing production cannot
produce, and false additionally lets launch.env inherit the runner's real
process.env. Derive via claudeStructuredAuthPolicyForSettings instead: the
gate settings type is the same Pick the policy takes, and both resolve the
account through getSelectedClaudeAccountIdForTarget.

* Pin the absent-vs-empty distinction in the managed-account gate

An empty claudeManagedAccounts array is a real answer: the user has no managed
accounts, nothing claims an identity, and the ambient path is legitimate. A
readable settings object with no such field is settings we failed to parse —
the same unknown as unreadable — so it refuses.

The two are one character apart in the code and the difference is invisible
without the reasoning, so record it at the branch and pin both sides. The test
fails under the obvious "consistency fix" of treating a missing field as empty.

* fix(claude): keep command queue bookkeeping out of the transcript

Claude Code 2.1.258 emits a `command_lifecycle` frame for every uuid-stamped
command it starts, completes or cancels. The frame carries a command uuid and a
state and no content, and the CLI keeps it out of its own transcript -- but it
is absent from the SDK's SDKMessage union and so from Orca's frame catalogue,
where an uncatalogued kind defaults to a substantive row. Every structured turn
therefore painted raw JSON rows into the user-visible transcript.

Catalogue it and disposition it as status chrome. The unknown-kind default stays
`timeline-substantive`: a kind we have never seen is likelier to carry content
than to be chrome, and a visible row we can catalogue later beats content we
silently dropped. A lifecycle state that reads as a failure still surfaces,
because the payload error check in `classifyProviderFrame` outranks the
catalogue.

* fix(claude): let a re-walked descendant become eligible for the forced sweep

A descendant first observed by a capture inside its own birth second could never
be SIGKILLed: `ps lstart` is second-resolution, so that capture cannot rule out
a pid recycled later in the same second, and the merge pinned each retained row
to the boundary of the walk that first saw it. SIGTERM-resistant children forked
in that window were signalled and then never escalated -- they survived close,
quit and restart, reparented to init, and had to be killed by hand.

Advancing that boundary on any later capture would be unsound: a later capture
matching pid, pgid and start-second is exactly what an impostor would also show.
But a capture is not a match -- it is a fresh ppid walk from a root Node pins
through its own handle, so a row it re-derives is proved ours at that instant
without appealing to its start time. Chain the fence from there instead, and
take that walk at the close boundary while the root certainly still lives: the
root may leave inside the grace window, and the post-timeout refresh never runs.

A row absent from the later walk still keeps its earlier boundary, and a row no
walk has ever re-derived in a later second is still never escalated.

* Treat an absent managed-account list as empty, not as unreadable

An empty claudeManagedAccounts array and a missing one are the same answer:
this user has no managed Claude accounts, so nothing claims an identity and
ambient auth is the truth. Refusing on absence strands any profile that simply
never wrote the key, and it disagrees with the auth policy, whose own predicate
takes `(accounts ?? [])` for exactly this reason.

Only settings that cannot be READ stay unknown, and those still refuse — as do
a WSL-bound active account and a selection naming an account the list does not
explain.

The earlier reasoning treated a missing field as settings we failed to parse.
That conflated "not present" with "not readable"; only the second is unknown.

* Support structured Claude when accounts are registered but none is selected

Registered-but-deselected Claude accounts were refused, which is behaviourally
identical to having no accounts at all: the auth policy does not strip, ambient
auth is the truth, and the UI names no host identity. A user who deselected
their accounts silently got legacy chat with nothing explaining why.

Nothing selected for the host runtime is two states the settings cannot tell
apart after the fact, because pruneInvalidClaudeRuntimeSelection empties the
host slot and persists null in the second one:

  honest deselection      -> ambient auth, UI names nothing   -> SUPPORTED
  the WSL-only steady state -> ambient auth, UI names the WSL account -> REFUSED

The presence of any WSL-bound account in the list decides. Simplifying this to
"none active -> supported" re-opens the auth-identity misrepresentation, so the
tests fail loudly on exactly that: five of them, across the unit rule and the
createSupport path.

* Stop treating an unanswerable create-support probe as a refusal

A worktree is not resolvable for a beat after createWorktree resolves, so a
probe fired immediately after creation fails the RPC with selector_not_found
instead of answering. The catch collapsed that into `supported = false`, so the
composer refused and quietly built a terminal session — the gate never said no,
it was never asked successfully. Elapsed time was the only input that decided
whether a Claude launch went structured.

"Could not answer" and "answered no" are different states and only the second
is a verdict. Retry while the host cannot yet resolve the selector, with a
bounded backoff that covers the measured window with margin, and keep refusing
on the first ask for everything else. Fail-closed is unchanged: a probe that
still cannot be answered when the budget is spent refuses.

The retry is narrowed with the shared error-code matcher, which classifies a
token that transports re-wrap into a longer message without matching prose that
merely mentions it.

Codex never probes, so this race has never been able to refuse a Codex launch —
the race itself is identical for it. Recorded at the early return, because
whoever gives Codex a probe inherits the bug.

* fix(claude): fence the forced sweep on re-derivation, not on lstart's second

A descendant forked in the same wall-clock second as every walk that sees it was
signalled with SIGTERM and then never escalated, so a SIGTERM-resistant child
survived tab close, app quit and a full relaunch. Two children of one parent
96ms apart across a second boundary took opposite paths. The leak predates this
branch: it reproduces with the change reverted.

`ps lstart` has one-second resolution, so a walk landing inside a row's birth
second can never rule out a pid recycled later in that same second. But a walk
is not a match: a ppid walk only reaches what the root actually parents, and the
root is pinned by Node's own handle, so a row the walk re-derived is ours
whatever second it was born in -- a stranger would have to have been forked into
our tree, and then it is not a stranger. Fence the escalation on that.

Rows a merge retained from an earlier walk are not re-derived and still answer
to the start-time fence, which remains correct for them.

Scoped to callers that revalidate identity before signalling, which is the
Claude close path. Codex teardown reaches this same verifier and is unchanged;
the argument holds there too, but widening it is its own deliberate change.

Also reverts two changes from the previous attempt at this leak. Advancing the
capture boundary on a later walk is inert once the sweep fences on re-derivation
-- both key on the same set of rows, so the new term short-circuits for exactly
the rows whose boundary it advanced. The extra ladder refresh was a duplicate
full process-table read: close() already awaits tree.refresh() immediately
before proveClaudeChildExit, on the only path that reaches it.

Known property: the kill lands roughly a grace window after the walk that proved
membership, so a pid recycled inside that gap could in principle be signalled.
It is bounded -- matchingSnapshotRows already requires the live row to carry the
same start-second and pgid, so an impostor must be born in the remainder of that
one second, land on that exact pid, and sit in the same process group, and it
has already received the unfenced SIGTERM from the same loop.

* Run the Claude structured integration suite as a runtime client

The suite exercises agentSession.* for Claude, not the mobile surface: nothing
in it asserts anything mobile-specific and its sibling integration suites use
'runtime'. Mobile now additionally requires the experimental structured-chat
setting, which structured-agent-session.test.ts pins in both states, so the
stale 'mobile' fixture was claiming coverage it never had.

* fix(claude): report effort from get_settings, which is the only frame that has it

The composer's Effort pill rendered blank in every structured session. This is
not a missing source: the publication reads `effortLevel` off the `system/init`
frame, and that frame has never carried an effort of any kind, while the correct
value is already fetched at acquisition and thrown away on the auth diagnostic.
Verified two ways -- a live get_settings probe against Claude Code 2.1.258, and
the shipped binary's own init frame construction, which lists `model` and no
effort. So `reportedOptions.effort` was always empty, the options reader dropped
the key, and the pill had no value. Model survived only because
`currentModelId()` has a fallback chain.

The get_settings call acquisition already makes reports the session's current
effort as `effective.effortLevel`; pass that into the publication instead.
Selecting an effort already worked, so this is the arrival value only.

The legacy PTY path is unaffected and must not be "fixed" to match: it reads its
effort by parsing the startup banner (`CLAUDE_MODEL_EFFORT` in
src/renderer/src/components/native-chat/claude-terminal-session-options.ts),
which is why it shows a value where the structured path does not.

Also removes the fixture that hid this: the fake init frame invented
`effortLevel: 'high'`, a field the CLI does not send, which is why every gate
stayed green over a value that is always empty in production. The fixture's
get_settings now returns the real {applied, effective, sources} shape instead of
a bare `{env: {}}`, so the two adapter tests that asserted an effort keep
asserting it through the path production actually uses.

The reader returns null rather than defaulting: an effort nothing measured would
repeat the fixture's mistake, and a blank pill is the honest degradation if the
provider ever renames the key.

* fix(claude): only record an effort the child confirms it adopted

apply_flag_settings answers `success` for an effort it then ignores. Measured
against Claude Code 2.1.258: applying `bogus-effort-xyz` returns
subtype "success" with no error while `applied.effort` stays at its previous
value, and a valid `low` moves it. The option write treated the absence of a
throw as adoption and recorded the requested value unconditionally, so Orca
would show and persist an effort the child was not using, with nothing anywhere
reporting a problem.

Read the effort back after applying it, through the same reader the arrival
value uses, and reject when the child reports a different one. A readback that
could not be taken is not evidence of a refusal -- the apply itself succeeded --
so it still records; only a readback that disagrees rejects.

Not reachable from today's picker, which offers catalog values only, but the
CLI's effort catalog is server-delivered and has changed before, so a retired id
would otherwise become a pill confidently displaying a setting that never took.

* test(claude): assert the effort contract against the real binary

The blank pill survived every gate because the only tests that touched it were
fixture-backed, and the fixture invented the field. A test that pins the shape
we read cannot catch the provider renaming the key, which is the failure mode
that produced this defect.

Asserts both halves against a live authenticated CLI: that no frame it publishes
carries an effort at all, and that the session's current effort arrives through
get_settings. Which frame proves the session varies by host -- this machine
proves it with a SessionStart hook rather than a system/init frame -- so the
negative half asserts over every published frame rather than picking one.

Skips with the rest of the file when no authenticated CLI is present.

* fix(claude): stop the synthesised content-part kinds leaking into the transcript

Sending an image put a bare `claude · message:user:content:image` row between
the user's bubble and the answer. Two causes, and only the second is a family.

An image part counted as modelled only when `source.type === 'url'`, but
claudeDispatchMessageContent sends a local attachment as a base64 source and the
CLI replays that shape back, so every attached image was classified unmodelled.
Accept the base64 and file sources Orca itself sends.

The family is the real defect. `message:<role>:content:<type>` kinds are
synthesised at runtime from whatever `part.type` arrives, so unlike the
top-level frame catalogue they can never be enumerated ahead of time -- the
`?? 'timeline-substantive'` default then prints the synthesised name at a user
who cannot act on it. That default is right for top-level frames, where
"substantive" means show the frame; here it meant show our own vocabulary, which
drops the content AND leaks the opcode.

So an unrenderable part now renders a sentence saying exactly that, with the
kind and payload still on the row's disclosure. A part that carries its own
readable sentence keeps it -- the placeholder is a fallback, not an override.

An unknown future part type is therefore visible, never silently dropped and
never printed as a kind: the same principle as the effort readback, which
records only what the provider confirms.

* Declare agentSession.requestHandoff on the cross-version wire surface

The manifest is a ratchet for cross-version reachability, so the method is
declared with real HandoffParams rather than counted. requestHandoff is
capability-gated through requireStructuredHost and has no client caller, so
declaring it is the whole of the change.

Also model two host capabilities the harness omitted: the stub host's
supportsCreate, and the fake adapter's, without which adapterSupportsCreate
falls through to a supportsLocation the fake also lacks. Every ensure was
refused for the harness's silence rather than for its location.

* Gate structured Claude session tabs on the client capability that names them

The Claude structured lane deleted the projection's `agent !== 'codex'`
filter and added CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_AGENT_SESSION_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY in the
same commit, but never wired the constant to anything. Paired clients then
received agent-session tabs for Claude, which no shipped client renders --
mobile's resolveMobileNativeChat returns null for every agent but codex, so
the row listed and selected into a pane with neither chat nor terminal.

Restore the filter behind the declared capability instead of the bare agent
name. No client advertises it yet, so this matches main's behaviour today
and becomes a negotiation a future client can opt into.

* Confirm the structured Claude model against the model the CLI reports

set_model answers success for any string, including a model it cannot
resolve — the failure only surfaces when the turn runs — and get_settings
reports the settings-file model, not the session's. The init frame that
opens each turn is the only channel carrying the adopted model, so keep
the session's reported model current from it instead of reading it once
at acquisition.

Also stop rejecting an effort the readback cannot represent: max is
session-scoped and excluded from the persisted effortLevel, so a readback
reporting the level underneath it is an absence of evidence, not a refusal.

* Clear the session-option hedge when the provider confirms the value

The pill claimed every option was unconfirmed for the life of the session:
the renderer recorded each write as dispatched and nothing ever moved it,
so a model the CLI had already reported back still read as unconfirmed.

Carry the provider's own confirmation to the surface. Main reports which
option ids the provider named rather than merely accepted, and the client
re-reads options as a turn changes, because the frame that opens a turn is
where the adopted model arrives. A value the provider has not reported
stays hedged, including an effort whose readback could not be taken.

The confirmed list is optional on the wire: a host that predates it sends
nothing and the client keeps hedging, which is the behaviour it had.

* Keep the model report current across an acquisition fence bump

* Show the picked session-option value and let the provider report correct it

The pill showed a "not confirmed" second tooltip line for any value we had sent
but not yet seen reported back. Nothing acts on it, and for the PTY lane it was
permanent — that transport has no report channel. The pill now shows the picked
value immediately and the provider's per-turn report corrects it when the two
disagree; a newer local write still outranks a report that precedes it.

`dispatched` stays as a provenance member rather than collapsing into `applied`:
it is produced independently by the PTY lane, and it is where the `confirmed`
wire field lands, which would otherwise be unobservable.

Effort keeps its readback and its rejection path. That matters more now, not
less: with the hedge gone the rejection is the only user-visible failure signal
on this surface, so a spurious one would be the loudest bug here. Skipping the
readback for an effort the settings response structurally cannot echo is what
prevents it — the response carries the persisted level, so reading it back for a
session-scoped value would report the level underneath and fail a valid write.

* Hedge a session-option value only when the terminal transport sent it

Both lanes emit `dispatched`, so it could never say which one produced a value.
The descriptor now carries the transport that built it, set once in the shared
snapshot builder from a parameter that is required rather than defaulted — the
builder is the only place a descriptor is constructed, so a new producer has to
name its lane or fail to compile.

The structured lane confirms every value from the provider's own per-turn report,
which makes the hedge transient noise there. The terminal lane can only learn an
outcome by parsing the screen back, and only for Claude: every other agent's
`dispatched` value stays unconfirmed for the life of the session, so the line is
the only signal that we sent something we never saw land.

* Refuse an effort the session's model advertises no control for

* Refuse tab mutations on a Claude row the client never negotiated

The branch added a case asserting a client advertising only
agent-session.structured.v1 may mutate a claude row. That is the same
ungated behaviour the projection gate removes, encoded a second time —
mutation authorization reads the projection, so hiding the row refuses
the write. Assert that contract instead, and add the positive case for a
client that does negotiate Claude rows.

* Resolve the Claude session's current model in one place so the effort guard and the pill agree

* Record an effort the child did not adopt instead of refusing the write

apply_flag_settings answers success for an effort it then ignores, so the
readback exists to detect that. Refusing on it made the detection a veto,
and a veto is only correct if the readback can never be wrong about which
model is current -- which it was, twice. The pre-flight guard already
refuses a level the model advertises no control for, so the veto guarded a
door that is now locked upstream.

Keep the detection, drop the refusal: a disagreement records the child's
own answer and omits the option from confirmed, so main stops vouching for
a value the provider rejected without blocking the user's write.

* Stop a slow whole-machine ps from being read as an absent process

`ps -axo ...command=` pays a per-pid argv read: measured 1.15s for 1,948
processes (0.03s without `command=`), and CPU contention stretched the same
capture to 6.0s. Two budgets sized for a cheap look then misreport a readable
machine.

The reader's 3s ceiling killed 6 of 20 consecutive captures at load 27, so
every consumer answered "unverifiable" about a table it could read. Raise it
to 15s, and stamp the capture instant at ps START so `capturedAgeMs` is the
upper bound its contract promises -- a 6s capture used to report itself as
freshly taken, understating staleness against a 5s kill gate. The TTL keys on
completion so a slow capture still coalesces instead of forking ps per caller.

`readStructuredTuiProcessIdentity` then spent its whole 5s wait inside one
capture and concluded "no exact child" after a single look taken before the
child existed (observed landing at ~3.5s). Absence needs a look that did not
race the spawn, so require two captures before the deadline can end the loop.

Both surfaced by the real-binary Claude TUI resume test, which failed ~1 in 5
under load; 14/14 now, 8 of those runs containing a capture the old 3s budget
would have killed.

* Let the desktop renderer negotiate Claude structured tabs

The paired-client gate hides agent-session rows an agent the client cannot
render. The desktop renderer's own IPC dispatches as clientKind 'runtime'
advertising only agent-session.structured.v1, so the gate hid Claude rows
from the surface this feature ships on. It renders them; it should say so.

* Stop a slow process table from silently blinding every freshness gate

Stamping `capturedAgeMs` at ps START made the number honest, and honest broke
both consumers that read it. `ps -axo ...command=` measured 2.5-9.0s on an idle
2,002-process laptop and 4.0-18.6s at load 46, so the age it now reports lands
past every budget: `planRelayPtySweep` refuses the stop as "too old", and the
renderer's `admitRemoteForegroundEvidence` refuses the record outright. That
second one is the expensive half and was outside the diff -- a refusal bumps
`consecutiveInspectionErrors`, the poll scheduler backs off to its 10s floor,
and agent-completion detection stops for the pane. The subsystem went blind on
exactly the loaded hosts the honest stamp was meant to serve.

The evidence-publishing read now gives up at 1,200ms instead of waiting out
`PS_TIMEOUT_MS`. It is one budget for one question: these consumers ask whether
an observation describes NOW, and past this it does not -- a late answer is
refused by the age gate anyway, having first blocked a polled path for the whole
capture, so a prompt `unverifiable` is both the truthful verdict and the cheap
one. Both relay call sites already produce it from a rejection, and an admitted
`unverifiable` costs a poll where a refusal costs the cadence. Identity proof
keeps the full 15s through `getFreshProcessTableSnapshot`, because it asks
whether a process EXISTS and must never read slow as absent. The budget bounds
the wait, never the capture: the reader coalesces, so an abandoned wait leaves
its capture running to fill the cache rather than forking a second whole-machine
`ps` on the host that can least afford one.

1,200ms is bracketed rather than picked. The floor is the capture's own cost --
`command=` measured 1.15s for 1,948 processes on an idle host, and a budget
under that answers `unverifiable` about a machine nobody is straining. The
ceiling is the consumer's: 2,000ms, less the 500ms a TTL-shared capture may
already have aged, leaves 1,500ms, and transit takes the rest.

That ceiling only fits once the capture stops being charged twice. `ps` runs
inside the RPC round trip, so its duration is already in `receiveDelay`, and
`capturedAgeMs` is that same duration on the host's clock; summing them halved
the budget this gate grants a host from ~2.0s of `ps` to ~1.0s, which is why a
1.2s capture arriving at 1.3s read as 2.5s old and was refused. Admission now
takes the larger of the two. The sweep's gate keeps its sum, which is correct
there: `evidenceAgeSinceListingMs` is stamped after the listing ARRIVES, so it
measures planning time and overlaps nothing.

A stated limit rather than an assumed one: 15s is not proven sufficient for
identity proof. The same capture reached 18.6s at load 46, so that path can
still time out and answer "no exact child" about a host it simply could not read
in time. Narrowing it needs a cheaper question than a whole-machine argv read,
not a larger number.

The one test guarding this field could not fail. `beginPtyHandlerTest` installs
fake timers, so `Date.now()` is frozen, the real reader reports exactly +0, and
`0 <= 500` held identically for a hardcoded zero, for completion-stamping and
for start-stamping -- while the real reader on that host returns thousands of
ms. It now drives a measured age in and asserts the handler publishes it rather
than restamping; that the reader MEASURES it correctly stays pinned separately,
against a controllable clock. Both consumers get boundary coverage either side,
and each new gate was ablated red before it went green.

* Keep the compatibility fields off the capture the budget just abandoned

inspectProcess falls back to processHasChildren and listProcesses to
getForegroundProcessName, and both read the same TTL-shared capture with
no budget of their own. On a slow host they joined the in-flight capture
the budgeted evidence read had just given up on, so the call still blocked
for the full 6-18s and the budget bought nothing -- once for inspectProcess
and once per managed PTY for listProcesses.

Use the degraded answers those helpers already give for an unreadable
table, reached promptly. pty.hasChildProcesses keeps its unbudgeted fresh
probe: it is a one-shot destructive gate that can afford to wait.

Neil 637dc30a32 fix(relay): observe Windows PTY child processes instead of answering false (#18591)
* fix(relay): observe Windows PTY child processes instead of answering false

`processHasChildren` returned a hardcoded `false` on Windows, and a hardcoded
negative is indistinguishable from a measurement. Every close guard reads it as
"nothing is running in this pane", so an SSH-to-Windows tab running a build
closed with no prompt. Measured on a real Windows SSH host: a live `PING.EXE`
under the pane's `cmd.exe` still reported `hasChildProcesses: false`, while the
identical harness on Linux reported `sleep` / `true`.

Windows has no `ps`, but it does have a process table, and the pane walk over it
already existed for the foreground reader. The answer now comes from
`queryWindowsPaneProcessInventory`; a table it could not read reports
`unverifiable` rather than a fabricated negative.

`hasChildProcesses` is a boolean, which cannot hold the third answer, and it is
read both as "busy, do not close" and as "the agent took the PTY, safe to type
into" — so no single mapping of `unverifiable` is safe for both. The verdict
moves to a new optional `childProcessEvidence` member that the close paths read;
the boolean keeps its exact meaning for every client that cannot.

Cost: `pty.inspectProcess` is the polled path and a relay host has no
`@vscode/windows-process-tree`, so its table read falls back to the 1.36s CIM
scan. Polling that would reinstate the fork storm the shared table exists to
prevent, so only a caller whose answer decides something asks for the scan.

* fix(runtime): forward scanChildProcesses through the environment inspection RPC

`guardRunningTerminalClose` asks the host to pay for a real child-process read,
but the environment path dropped the option before it reached the wire: the
renderer sent only `expectedIncarnationId`, and the RPC schema — the shared
`TerminalHandle` — silently stripped anything else. A host routing that pane
through an SSH relay then declined to scan and answered `unverifiable`, which
`inspectionReportsRunningWork` reads as running work. The result was a close
confirmation on an idle pane, which is the nag this PR exists to avoid.

Forwarded through all four layers: renderer payload, RPC schema, method handler,
and the runtime/controller signatures. The schema is a dedicated extension rather
than a field on `TerminalHandle`, so `clearBuffer`/`agentStatus`/`isRunningAgent`
keep refusing an option they have no use for.

The silent strip is not itself the defect — it is what makes a new optional member
safe to send to an old host, per docs/reference/remote-wire-compatibility.md. The
defect was the schema and its caller drifting inside one version, so the tests pin
the registered method rather than the schema alone: pointing it back at
`TerminalHandle` compiles, parses, and drops the option.

Found by review on #18591.

* fix(terminal): teach the shared running-work probe the third child-process answer

Rebasing onto main landed `probePtyRunningWork`, which is a better home for this
than the close guard: it already speaks `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited`, and it
exists so the tab-close and window-close guards cannot drift. The child-process
verdict belongs there, not in a parallel predicate beside it.

So the mapping moves into the probe and `inspectionReportsRunningWork` is deleted
rather than kept alongside. The probe now asks for the scan, and a host that could
not observe the pane reports `unverifiable` instead of collapsing onto `exited` --
which is what `hasChildProcesses: false` meant on every Windows relay.

The pane-close path is routed through the same probe for the same reason; it was
the third caller asking this question through a direct inspect of its own.

Neil 949c9d3353 perf(worktrees): classify each worktree once, defer the SSH meta index, drop the conflict-path probe (#18433)
* perf(worktrees): classify each worktree once, defer the SSH meta index, unserialise conflict probes

Three redundancies on the worktree-catalog and git-status read paths:

- buildDetectedGitWorktrees ran mergeWorktree + toDetectedWorktree twice for
  every visible row. Discovery backfill returns the same meta object when it
  wrote nothing, and both builders are pure over it, so skip the second pass on
  identity.
- The SSH worktree-meta index parsed every worktree id on the host, then threw
  it away whenever the provider was connected. Build it lazily, memoised.
- Unmerged `u` records were resolved one fs.access at a time. Resolve the prefix
  the cap can reach with 8-way concurrency, keyed by record index so Git's
  output order and error precedence are unchanged.

* perf(git): read the porcelain worktree mode instead of probing conflicted paths

Every porcelain-v2 `u` record already carries `mW`, the working-tree mode Git
stat'ed for that row: `000000` means the conflicted path is absent. Reading it
replaces the per-conflict `fs.access`, so the bounded-concurrency resolver, its
`= 8` cap, and the order/error-precedence invariant are unnecessary rather than
cheaper. `access()` stays only as a fallback for a malformed `mW`, so
`parseUnmergedEntry` keeps its signature and neither status-read.ts nor the
relay loop changes.

Also corrects two fixtures that encoded `mW=100644` for a file that does not
exist, which real Git never emits.

Neil a5d6114baf fix(ssh): stop pane adoption certifying a death from the relay's not-found union (#18531)
* fix(ssh): stop pane adoption certifying a death from the relay's not-found union

`attachStablePaneOwner` was the last reader that synthesised a runtime exit
from a reattach refusal, and it published code `0` — which
`orca-runtime-on-pty-exit` records as `rememberPtyLivenessVerdict(exited)`, a
death certificate whose only legitimate writer is a host-delivered exit frame.

The refusal it acted on is a union. `pty.attach` answers `PTY "<id>" not found`
both for a pid the relay probed with `isProcessAlive` and for an id its session
map simply never had — which, because ids carry a per-start mint epoch, is every
id minted before a relay restart, checked against nothing. So a relay restart
plus a reconnect certified a shell that was still running under the old daemon's
orphaned process tree, retired the pane binding, and cold-started a second agent
onto the same transcript. The sibling `handlePtyReattachFailure` has always
refused to certify from that union; this path did not.

- The relay marks the one refusal it backed with a liveness check
  (`PTY_ATTACH_PROVEN_EXITED_MARKER`). The marker is additive, so an unmarked
  answer — including an older relay's — stays ambiguous, which is the safe
  direction.
- The client mints that half as `SshPtyProvenExitedOnRelayError`, a subclass so
  every existing `isSshPtyAbsentFromRelayError` consumer is unchanged.
- Pane adoption publishes `UNVERIFIED_PROCESS_EXIT_CODE` (-1), the sentinel its
  sibling publishes, and passes `hostExitConfirmed` only for evidence that
  observed the process: the marked relay refusal, or `SessionNotFoundError` from
  the registry that owns the PTY. The ambiguous half now records `unverifiable`
  instead of `exited`.
- The gone-branch keys on the error type rather than the bare `PTY ".+" not
  found` text, so an untyped string can no longer authorise abandoning a
  binding — the discriminator `pty-connect-limits.ts` already documented.

Refs docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md

* test(pty): make the pane-adoption fixtures throw what real providers throw

These four fixtures rejected with bare `new Error('Session not found: ...')` and
`new Error('PTY "..." not found')`. No provider produces either untyped:
`local-pty-spawn` and `decodeDaemonResponseError` both mint
`SessionNotFoundError`, and the SSH reattach path types the relay's wire text
before any pane sees it. Fixtures that skip the type were the reason a
message-shaped gate looked adequate.

The exit-code expectations move with it: the pane path now publishes the -1
stop sentinel plus `hostExitConfirmed`, so a certificate follows the evidence
rather than a synthesized zero.

Neil 5a626dcdf4 refactor(git): share push-target resolution between local and the SSH relay (#18406)
`src/relay/git-handler-push-target.ts` and `src/main/git/remote.ts` carried
identical ~160-line copies of the resolver that decides which remote a plain
`git push` hits. Identical today is exactly when to share it: the cost of a
future divergence is pushing to the wrong remote, which retrying does not undo.

Move the resolver to src/shared/git-push-target-resolution.ts, parameterized on
a `(args) => Promise<{ stdout }>` runner — the only thing the two hosts actually
differ in — and delete both copies. The relay entry point keeps only the work
that is genuinely relay-side: re-validating an explicit target that arrived over
the wire and running `check-ref-format` on it.

No behavior change on either path, and nothing new or different is published, so
this engages no rule in remote-wire-compatibility. No git command changes.

src/relay/git-push-target-local-parity.test.ts scripts one repository's config
and requires `git.push` over the real relay dispatcher and the desktop's
`gitPush` to emit the same push argv, plus the argv each case should produce.

Neil 53adf5e2e6 fix(git): share one failed-command error-text reader between local and the SSH relay (#18398)
* fix(git): share one error-text reader between the local and relay branch-delete fallbacks

The relay and the desktop each carried their own `getErrorText`, and they had
drifted: the relay read `message` + `stderr` + `stdout`, the desktop only
`message` + `stderr`. A `git branch -d` refusal arriving on `stdout` therefore
routed the SSH removal through prune-and-retry while the local removal gave up
and preserved the branch.

Against a real binary the two agree, because Git prints the refusal through
`error()` on every supported version — verified on 2.25.1, 2.38.1, 2.49.1 and
2.55.0, none of which put a byte of it on stdout. What the desktop copy actually
missed is that Orca classifies errors it built itself, with the Git output on
`.stdout`: `worktree remove`'s submodule retry attaches `git status --porcelain`
that way on both paths. The stdout-reading form is also already the shared
spelling — `isSubmoduleWorktreeRemovalRefusal` uses it for both hosts — so this
converges on it rather than on the shorter one.

Move the reader to src/shared/git-command-failure-text.ts and the predicate it
feeds to src/shared/git-branch-delete-refusal.ts, and delete all three copies.
The predicate carries both refusal wordings live in the supported range: Git
through 2.40 says "checked out at", 2.43+ says "used by worktree at".

The real-binary contract now pins that boundary: the refusal is recognized, it
lands on stderr, and stdout stays empty on every Git in the matrix.

Neil 860ee73a11 fix(git): parse sparse and cquoted paths on the SSH relay (#18389)
The relay carried its own copies of the worktree-list and unmerged-entry
porcelain parsers, and both had drifted from the desktop originals: the
relay copy had no `sparse` branch, so SSH sparse checkouts were never
marked, and it never C-quote-decoded a conflict path, so a conflicted file
with a space or non-ASCII byte was published under its raw quoted name and
probed as missing.

Move both parsers into src/shared and delete the relay copies, so there is
one implementation each. Type the relay's worktree-list plumbing on
GitWorktreeInfo instead of Record<string, unknown> so a field-copying step
can no longer silently drop a newly parsed field.

`isSparse` is a new optional field on the git.listWorktrees result
(remote-wire-compatibility Rule 1); Git <2.28 omits the porcelain line and
the field stays absent. No new git subcommand or option.

Neil 94fcbe1908 fix(relay): stop reviving a PTY into a directory that is gone from the host (#18351)
`reviveEntry` re-resolves and re-bounds every field it takes from serialized
state -- shell override, WSL distro, envToDelete, TERM, history isolation, the
credential guard -- except `cwd`, which went straight to `node-pty`. A serialized
cwd only proves the directory existed when the client wrote it down: a worktree
removed while the relay was down makes it a dead path.

node-pty does not report that as a spawn error on POSIX. The child `chdir`s after
the fork and `_exit(1)`s, so the pane revives already dead with no output and no
diagnosis. On Windows `CreateProcess` fails instead, and the throw escapes
`reviveEntry` (there is no shell override to degrade), then escapes `revive`'s
loop, which has a `finally` but no `catch` -- so one dead directory costs every
later entry in the batch its state.

Skip that one entry instead, which is the call `reviveEntry` already makes for a
shell override that can no longer spawn: substituting a different directory is
the defect the serialized value exists to prevent, so dropping one pane is the
honest outcome. The check runs inside `reviveEntry`, after `beginPtyCreation`, so
the worktree-removal fence still sees the serialized path -- a removal in flight
leaves it partly present, and statting it must not be what decides. Skipped
entirely for a WSL shell, whose cwd lives in a guest that never stats on this
host, matching the `executesOnRelayFilesystem` boundary `requireRelaySpawnCwd`
already honours.

Fixture paths in the revive tests move to a real directory: `/repo` and
`C:\repo` never existed, so under the new check those panes would be skipped
before the shell-override and session-cap behaviour under test could run.

Neil 57681ecd09 fix(remote): resolve the spawn cwd, the node manager dir, the vault host and the scrollback seed (#17952)
* fix(remote): resolve workspace cwd, mise Node, host scope, and TUI scrollback honestly

#15296 relay: a folder workspace id (`folder:<uuid>`) carries no path, so the
worktree-id split yielded nothing and $HOME silently won. Resolve the spawn cwd
through worktreeId -> ORCA_WORKSPACE_ROOT -> host default, and refuse an agent
spawn outright when a folder workspace names a root this host cannot resolve.

#11733 ssh: generalize the NVM dotfile scrape into `orca_dotfile_dirs` and drive
mise off `MISE_DATA_DIR` / `XDG_DATA_HOME` instead of a hardcoded
`$HOME/.local/share/mise`.

#13713 ai-vault: an unresolvable workspace host is `unverifiable`, not local.
Widen the default scope to every host rather than scanning the client's own
history and reporting "No agent sessions found".

#6106 terminal: hydration asked the renderer for `scrollback: 0` while an
alt-screen TUI was up, which drops the normal buffer's shell history rather than
the TUI bytes. Drop the flag; readers already split the two buffers apart.

* fix(remote): stop the relay answering host questions for a guest execution host

Three findings from review of the spawn-cwd resolver, all the same shape: a path
question answered against the wrong host, or with the wrong key.

- resolveRelaySpawnCwd refused an agent launch whenever a folder workspace named
  a root that did not stat on the relay. But relayHostDirectoryExists stats the
  relay's *own* filesystem, and the relay supports WSL shells, so a folder
  workspace on a Windows relay launching into WSL now threw where it previously
  spawned -- contradicting the function's own doc comment, which says an absent
  path for that exact host pair is a miss, not a refusal. Thread the shell's
  execution host in and demote the refusal to a miss when the spawn does not run
  on the relay's filesystem.

- requireRelaySpawnCwd's doc claims both call sites route through one resolver
  so the fence can never be keyed on a directory the spawn won't use, but the
  fence key was still computed with the non-stripping splitWorktreeId while the
  cwd used splitWorktreeIdForFilesystem. For a `::workspace:<uuid>` id those
  disagree by construction, in adjacent lines: the removal fence guarded a path
  no spawn ever enters. Same defect in shutdownForWorktreePath and the revive
  path; all three now use the filesystem split.

- The remote Node probe expanded `$HOME` and `~/` prefixes out of a dotfile
  assignment but not `$XDG_DATA_HOME`, so `MISE_DATA_DIR=$XDG_DATA_HOME/...`
  was used as a literal directory name. Add the case arm, defaulting to the
  POSIX `$HOME/.local/share` the seed value already uses -- sshd's exec channel
  usually has no XDG_DATA_HOME at all.

Neil 9e9b80cb37 perf(relay): stop two unbounded growth terms behind the long-session SSH slowdown (#17818)
Two costs grew for the life of an SSH session and never came back down.

1. The relay port scan walked every process in /proc and readlink'd every fd
   even after every listening socket already had an owner. Cost was
   O(host processes x fds) per scan, repeating for the session's life. Exit as
   soon as every inode is attributed.

2. SshPtyModelAdmission kept closed provider generations in a Set<number>.
   Provider generations are a process-global monotonic counter shared by every
   SSH target, so the set gained one entry per relay reconnect forever. After
   500k reconnects main retains ~10,234 KB / 500,000 entries; with this change,
   18 KB / 1 range.

Closed generations now live in SshPtyClosedGenerationRanges, which collapses
contiguous closed runs. Membership stays exact -- a generation below the
high-water mark can still be live on another host, so a high-water
approximation would reject a healthy target's output.

The range container's has()/add() were a linear scan; both are now binary
search. has() is on the per-output-chunk admission path, so a scan would have
traded a bounded Set lookup for one that degrades with fragmentation. This also
speeds up ssh-pty-output-generation-guard.ts, which already uses this container
on main.

Known limitation, deliberately not addressed here: the closed-generation set is
bounded in the healthy case (one range) but unbounded when generations leak,
since each leaked generation leaves a permanent gap. Sublinear is not bounded. A
live-generation set would be bounded by construction and is the better
long-term design; that is a follow-up.

Neil 510305e574 fix(relay): signal capacity loss instead of dropping, hanging, or truncating (#17870)
Three failures with one shape: a payload past a fixed capacity was met with
silence, with a wait that never ends, or with a prefix presented as a whole.

**The workspace snapshot was silently dropped.** `workspace.changed` carries the
tab/session list, and a snapshot past the producer frame capacity (12288 B on a
Node <=21 remote) was dropped with only a relay stderr line, so the client kept a
stale list forever. The relay now publishes per client and, for a client whose
sink refused the frame, sends a compact `workspace.stale` marker on the control
lane; the client re-reads through `workspace.get`, whose lane is budgeted in
megabytes rather than in one producer frame. A new JSON-RPC notification rather
than a new field on `workspace.changed`: `normalizeSnapshot(undefined, ns)` yields
revision 0 and an empty session, so a Rule-1 field would make an old client
replace its tab list with nothing — worse than the drop. An old client ignores the
unknown method and is exactly where it is today. The marker retention/retry
machinery is extracted from the `fs.changed` overflow path and shared by both.

**The Windows upload hung, and the fix for it could truncate.** `#16432` was
attributed to `[Console]::In.ReadToEnd()` materializing the base64 bundle. That is
not what the reporter measured: he also measured
`new IO.StreamReader([Console]::OpenStandardInput())` — an incremental reader —
hanging at 1 MB. The limit is in the stdin the host hands PowerShell over a
non-pty ssh exec, not in the string the script builds.

- `uploadFileViaSystemSsh` — the user file-import path — was piping a whole file
  into one Windows stdin, unchunked and untimed. That is the path large files
  take; it now chunks into 32 KB writes and bounds each wait.
- The Windows directory upload reuses that single-file path rather than repeating
  a weaker copy of chunk-read + write-buffer; the `ino`/`dev` TOCTOU verification
  comes with it.
- A Windows write needing more than one exec lands on a `.orca-partial` staging
  path and is published by rename, so a failed chunk cannot leave a truncated
  artifact under the real name. `exclusive` is enforced once at the rename, not on
  the first chunk, where a retry met its own leftovers.
- The mkdir batch reads stdin through the stream reader the reporter measured
  surviving 50 KB, not `[Console]::In`, which he measured wedging at that size.
- `waitForChannelClose` takes an optional bound. A wedged PowerShell stays alive
  at idle CPU and never closes, so without one the promise is simply never
  settled and the caller waits forever with no error to show.

**Quick Open showed a prefix as the whole workspace.** The mechanism "a full page
means there is more" only works if the caller named the cap, and the failing UI
named none — it hardcoded `truncated: false`. Quick Open now names
`QUICK_OPEN_LISTING_MAX_RESULTS` on both the Electron IPC hop and the runtime-RPC
hop (the field #17954 added to `files.listAll`), and reads a full page as
truncation. The local hop honours the cap too, which it previously ignored.

Rebase note on `fs.listFiles`: an earlier revision of this work also clamped the
host unconditionally, and #17934 escalated an uncapped request to an explicit
error. #17954 has since landed and made an oversized reply streamable, which
removes the premise — the host no longer has to choose between a prefix and a
refusal, so it returns the whole listing when no limit is named and only clamps a
limit it was given. Keeping either would have regressed #17954 and hard-failed
three in-tree callers that deliberately pass no options
(`runtime-file-commands-search-runtime-files.ts:81`,
`filesystem-read-handlers.ts:125`, `runtime-file-commands-constructor.ts:41`).

Neil 39330c5aca fix(relay): retire PTYs the host proves are gone, and stop two per-poll scan storms (#17832)
* fix(relay): stop three CPU growth terms in a long-running remote session

pty.resize gated only on `managed.disposed`, which is bookkeeping rather than
liveness. A shell that exits without node-pty's `onExit` leaves an undisposed
entry holding a closed master fd, and UnixTerminal.resize has no fd guard, so
the ioctl threw `ioctl(2) failed, EBADF` into the dispatcher's generic
parse-error catch. Nothing retired the entry, so it stayed advertised and kept
activePtyCount above zero -- which is what stops a relay with an unlimited
grace from reaching its idle-no-ptys exit (#12423). Probe liveness with the
same helper attach/listProcesses use, retire a provably dead pid, and contain
an ioctl failure over a live-or-unverifiable process.

processHasChildren forked `pgrep -P` per pane per inspection poll, uncached.
procps-ng opens six procfs files per process to resolve one ppid, so each call
cost O(host process count). Answer from the TTL-cached `ps` table the same RPC
already captured for the foreground lookup (#13537).

The remote AI Vault scanner had no parse cache at all, so every forced rescan
re-read and re-parsed the whole transcript corpus, including files untouched
for a month. Give it the mtime+size keyed memo the local scanner has (#13753).

* fix(pty): invalidate the descriptor when node-pty gives up the handle (#17930)

Carried forward from PR #17930, which merged into this branch. Rebased onto
current main; main's newer node-pty-fd-leak test is kept as-is.

* fix(ai-vault): refresh codex titles on the remote parse-cache reuse path

The remote cache keys on the transcript's (mtime, size, host), but codex
titles live in $CODEX_HOME/session_index.jsonl and are written after the
rollout — so a cache hit froze the fallback title forever. Mirrors the
local scanner's existing reuse-path refresh via a shared core.

* fix(relay): publish the exit a reap performs, and rescan for close decisions

Two review findings on the CPU work.

reapExitedPty told only the relay-internal exit listener, so a retirement left
the client's pane mounted against a session the relay had already forgotten --
the next attach answered `PTY "<id>" not found` with nothing before it to
explain why. Pre-existing on three probe paths; resize made it user-triggered.
Publish the same pending-exit the natural onExit path publishes, carrying -1
("gone, status unrecoverable"), and skip it when onExit already reported the
real code.

processHasChildren now answers from a 500ms TTL-cached table. That is right for
pty.inspectProcess, which every tracked pane polls, but pty.hasChildProcesses
gates the window-close confirmation and workspace cleanup's idle evidence --
one destructive decision per answer, where a child started inside the window
would be killed unasked. Give that RPC a fresh scan; pgrep used to.

* fix(relay): publish a reap's exit only on proven-exited evidence

The publication is a verdict the client acts on by retiring the pane, so it
must not be reachable from the disposed-record sweep, which retires off our own
bookkeeping rather than the host's process table. Only ESRCH earns it.

Neil 7104056984 fix(watcher): route relay watch-root capacity refusals off the fast ladder (#17950)
* fix(ssh): stop two unrecoverable relay refusal loops

A relay refusal that is a pure function of state the client cannot change was
being retried forever, on two different paths.

- pty.openClient: a superseded owner proof is refuted evidence, not a transient
  fault. The client kept re-presenting the identical proof, so every reconnect
  reproduced the same refusal until the relay was redeployed (#12895, #12931).
  It is now dropped exactly as a stale lease already is, and the claim re-asked
  without it.
- fs.watch: the relay's watch-root capacity refusal was classified 'unavailable'
  and retried at 1 Hz per root for 60s, re-armed indefinitely. A folder
  workspace with more repos than the cap turns that into a permanent install
  storm scaled by the excess root count (#11196). It is now its own 'capacity'
  result that goes straight to the existing dormant backoff, mirroring what the
  local watcher path already does.

* fix(watcher): route relay watch-root capacity refusals off the fast ladder

A full watch-root cap is a decision, not a fault, so a 1 Hz reinstall per refused
root only bills the relay the load that keeps the cap busy (#11196). Capacity
refusals now go straight to the dormant backoff.

The relay side no longer refuses on a slot it is about to hand back: an over-cap
caused by roots still unsubscribing waits once on the teardowns settling — the
release event, mirroring WatcherSupervisorCapacityWait — before it answers. A
parked waiter is excluded from the accounting so it cannot take a slot from the
root already reclaiming one.

Drops the SSH owner-recovery half of this branch. Its premise — that a -32043
SUPERSEDED refusal is permanent — is false: the refusal fires only while the
incumbent is 'active', and assertPtyConsumerOwnerRecovery explicitly admits the
identical lower-generation proof once the incumbent flips to 'disconnected'
(relay-pty-consumer-owner-displacement.test.ts proves it). The remedy could not
work either: the proofless re-ask routes into refuseHeldPtyConsumerOwner, which
is declared `: never` and, with sameClient true by construction, always throws.
It would have traded one refusal loop for another, minus the checkpoints and
minus the proof that resumes the claim once the relay reaps the incumbent.

Neil 31007c0d86 fix(ssh): reclaim relay PTYs the client has provably lost, on host attestation only (#17831)
* fix(ssh): reclaim relay PTYs the host attests this client orphaned (#9819)

Orca could lose track of terminals running on an SSH relay until the
50-slot cap refused to open any more. This reclaims them, and the whole
design is built around the fact that getting it wrong destroys a user's
running process on their remote machine: the failure mode is leak, never
kill.

A stop requires all nine of:

1. the relay published an `ownerClientInstanceId` read from the live
   authenticated consumer grant of the connection that requested the
   spawn — never from a spawn parameter, since an echoed claim is no
   evidence; absent means skip
2. that id equals this client's persisted consumer identity
3. this connection holds the negotiated `session-owner` grant
4. `paneBound === true`, host-published
5. no `agentSessionOwners` — the host still advertises it as adoptable
6. `hostAgeMs >= 30s`, measured on the host's clock
7. this client has no route: not reattached, no lease outside
   terminated/expired, no pending kill, and no `expired` lease either —
   an expired lease is the record of a process deliberately left
   running, never a licence to kill it
8. every stop is fenced on the incarnation the same listing published,
   and on the owner identity, both re-checked by the host
9. a pass wanting to stop more than 8 refuses entirely

Absence from a client-side set is `unverifiable` by construction
(docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md): a second machine attaches to
the same relay and displaces the session owner, and its live agents are
missing from this client's store for exactly the reason a genuine orphan
is. So the host has to attest ownership, and the host has to attest that
nothing is running.

That second attestation is measured over the pane's whole tty, not its
foreground process group. `tpgid == pgid` is foreground-only: on a real
`bash -i` on a real pty, a shell holding `sleep 300 &` and a shell
holding a Ctrl-Z'd job both read `pgid == tpgid`, `Ss+` — byte-identical
to an idle prompt, with only the job's own row differing. A
foreground-only gate therefore attests `pnpm build &` and a suspended
editor as idle, and the stop that follows SIGKILLs every process group
on the tty. `shellOwnsEveryTtyProcessGroup` is measured over that same
set of groups, so the evidence and the kill describe the same thing. No
new probe: `tpgid` already identifies the terminal, because a process
group belongs to one session and a session to at most one controlling
terminal.

The freshness field is real rather than decorative. `capturedAgeMs` is
stamped from when the capture was taken, deliberately as an upper bound
since the process table is TTL-shared, and the sweep refuses an
observation older than its own pass budget, counting its own elapsed
time since the listing arrived. Stale evidence degrades to "do not
sweep", never to "sweep". The display consumer of the same measurement
keeps no age budget, as a stated decision: a stale pane title costs a
redraw and self-corrects.

`pty.shutdown` is authorized on the host that owns the process.
`pty.spawn` and `pty.attach` both take a request context and check it;
the one irreversible call took none, so the rule above lived entirely on
the client that decided to make the call. It gains an optional
`expectedOwnerClientInstanceId` and refuses unless the connection still
authenticates as that identity AND this host recorded it at spawn.

Finally, a reattach refusal now says whether it observed the process.
Three refusals carry the same `SSH_SESSION_EXPIRED` text and only one is
absence; `restoreRequired` means the PTY is live and only its source
stream is not. Testing that text with `.includes()` expired the lease
and deleted ownership for a running process, erasing this client's only
record of it — and a PTY with no record is one the sweep may stop.

Wire compatibility: four new optional fields and one new optional param
on existing methods, no new method and no new stream opcode (Rule 1, and
Rule 2 does not apply). Rule 1's caveat is discharged explicitly — no
reader requires any of them, each absence is a named skip reason, and an
ordinary pane teardown must omit the owner fence because a revived PTY
carries no attested owner at all. New client plus old relay stops zero
PTYs; old client plus new relay never reads the fields. Windows relay
hosts publish no evidence and therefore never sweep.

Verified by joining the real publisher to the real client reader over
`ps` captured verbatim from a Linux container, and by driving a real
group-for-group SIGKILL against a real pty: backgrounded and suspended
jobs survive by pid, and an idle shell is still reclaimed, so the
narrowed predicate is not a silent no-op.

Squashed deliberately. The sweep is unsafe at every intermediate commit
of its own history — before the foreground gate it reaps a hand-launched
`claude`, and with a foreground-only gate it reaps a backgrounded build
— so this ships as one commit with no bisectable state that kills live
work.

Neil 0886db2b90 refactor(process-table): extract the correlation indexes into their own module (#18246)
`src/shared/process-table-snapshot.ts` is 308 code lines against the 300
cap for `**/*.ts`, so `static analysis` is red on `main` and every open PR
inherits it.

Neither PR that grew the file crossed the cap alone. #18151 took it to 427
raw lines; #18166 added ~35 more. #18166's branch predated #18151, so the
head CI linted was 428 raw lines and passed, while the squash onto main is
463 -> 308 code lines. The gate lints the PR head, not the merge result, so
nothing linted the sum until it was on main.

Pure move, no behaviour change: the generic index machinery
(ProcessIdentityRow, ProcessTableIndexOf, buildProcessTableIndex,
collectDescendantsFromIndex, lookupProcessTableIndex, getProcessTableIndex
and its WeakMap) moves to process-table-index.ts. `ProcessTableIndex` and
`scoreForegroundCandidateRow` stay behind because they need
`ProcessTableRow`, which keeps the new module free of any import back and
so introduces no cycle.

Neil 104f9655e4 perf(git): answer remote-URL questions from one subprocess, not one per remote (#18158)
Four copies of the same loop ran `git remote` and then a serial
`git remote get-url <name>` per remote to answer "which remote has this
URL". On a repo with 58 remotes that is 59 subprocesses -- measured at
1083 ms -- for one question, and worktree create asks it several times.
`git remote -v` answers for every remote from one child, reporting the
same insteadOf-expanded first fetch URL `get-url` prints.

The batched `cat-file --batch-check` branch-conflict probe decides from
stdout, but its WSL route was unfenced, so a login-shell fallback printed
the distro banner onto the stream it parses. That broke the
one-line-per-ref contract, made every batch undecided, and fell straight
back to one `show-ref` per remote -- the cost the batch exists to remove.

Measured at 58 remotes / 4346 branches, spawns and wall time:
  push-target remote scan      59 -> 1  (1083 ms -> 8 ms)
  branch-conflict probe        60 -> 3  (984 ms -> 43 ms)
  configured push target      123 -> 6  (2707 ms -> 157 ms)

Neil f737f3499f fix(relay): stream an oversized fs.listFiles reply instead of refusing it (#17954)
Opening Orca's own checkout over SSH cannot list its files in one response frame.
22,617 tracked paths average 58 characters, so the 20,001-row page the client asks
for serializes to 1,223,415 bytes — past `DISPATCHER_CONTROL_QUEUE_MAX_BYTES`, so
`sendResponse` demotes it to the `legacy-response` lane, where an unrelated
producer backlog can refuse it as an opaque `ResponseOverCapacity`. Break-even is
around 49 characters of average path; any `packages/<name>/src/...` monorepo is
over the line.

Picking a ceiling to refuse at does not fix that, it just moves where it shows up
and refuses listings that would have been delivered. `__streamResponse` already
exists for exactly this on the git methods, and it is its own negotiation in both
directions: an old client never sends it and gets the plain array on the
legacy-response lane as before, and an old relay ignores it and answers plainly,
which the client detects by the sentinel marker being absent. So fs.listFiles opts
into it — no new method, no new opcode, nothing to advertise — and the size of a
listing stops being a correctness question.

The response-stream registry becomes one per relay, shared by FsHandler and
GitHandler. A second registry is not an option and the header of
git-response-stream.ts says why: a client keys reassembly on `streamId` alone, so
two would hand out the same id and cross-feed chunks, and only the handler that
registers `git.responseAck` can credit the window a pump parks on.

Also declares `maxResults` on the runtime-RPC `files.listAll` and forwards it.
The mechanism "the client names its cap, so a full page reads as truncation" was
wired only on the Electron IPC hop; web and mobile were saved incidentally by
`remoteFileContentBudget` defaulting the cap inside `listRuntimeFiles`. A new
optional field is additive in both directions (wire rule 1).

The new Docker-gated spec is claimed by run-ssh-docker-e2e.mjs. The sharded e2e
lanes set no ORCA_E2E_SSH_DOCKER, so a Docker-gated spec that no runner names
self-skips everywhere and still reports green — pr-e2e-gate-contract enforces that.

Closes #12547

Neil 99d9111653 fix(relay): fail an over-budget RPC response, not the connection (#17968)
The relay's control lane is a shared 1 MiB budget, and `sendResponse` admitted
responses onto it with the fatal default: once the lane was full, admission
closed the client. A ~900 KB `fs.listFiles` reply from a large remote workspace
therefore took down the whole remote session -- every terminal on it -- rather
than failing the one Quick Open request. The substitute `ResponseOverCapacity`
frame already there only covered the `legacy-response` lane, because the fatal
close beat it to the client.

A JSON-RPC response is the droppable class of control frame: it carries an id,
so one caller can be told and can retry. `pty.replay` and `notifyControl` keep
the fatal default -- they are never re-sent, and a silent drop there desyncs the
client with nothing to retry. Both response enqueues now pass
`controlOverflow: 'reject'`, so the substitute error is what the caller sees;
in the corner where even ~150 bytes will not fit, the caller's own 30s request
timeout settles it and the session survives.

Old clients are unaffected: they already decode this error code and message
generically (`ssh-channel-multiplexer.handleResponse` rejects the pending
promise with both), and the frame shape is unchanged. What changes is that a
listing which used to drop the connection now returns an error on it.

Neil 3d3b4f9053 fix(ssh): scope every activate() release path to the record its caller owns (#18038)
Two of the three release/cancel sites in RelayPtySourcePublication.activate()
acted on `current` unconditionally. A superseded transport re-entering activate()
therefore released — or cancelled and deleted — the delivery its own replacement
had just opened: releasing the fence resumes a send the replacement is still
rotating, and retiring it blanks the pane that owns it. The live path is the
unadmitted/subscriber branch, so guarding only the first site leaves the defect
exactly as it was; all three now act only on a record the caller still owns.

Also give the restore-required token its own toast copy. It must not join
UNREATTACHABLE_SESSION_SOURCES: that copy says "Open a new terminal", which here
abandons a running agent on a PTY the relay has just proven alive
(docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md).

Neil b4ba3e97ff perf(worktree): defer fork-PR remote creation from create-time to first use (#17922)
* perf(worktree): defer fork-PR remote creation from create-time to first use

Fork-PR review worktrees eagerly ran `git remote add` + `git fetch` for the
contributor's fork (and pinned branch.<x>.remote) at create time, even for a
read-only review. That grows remote count unboundedly with review volume and
pays a network fetch nobody asked for yet.

Defer prepareWorktreePushTarget(Ssh) and the --set-upstream-to configure step
at create time (local + SSH, IPC + runtime create paths); persist the
pushTarget metadata untouched. Materialize the remote on demand the first
time push/pull/fetch/fast-forward actually needs it, via two shared
functions (materializeWorktreePushTargetRemote(Ssh)) reused across the
legacy IPC handlers and the RPC runtime sync commands. A cheap
`remote get-url <name>` probe keeps steady-state calls down to one extra
subprocess once materialized, instead of repeating the O(remotes) scan.

Add repo-local `remote.<name>.orca-created` config provenance, written when
the remote is added, so cleanup can recognize ownership of a remote that was
lazily materialized (and therefore never round-tripped through the store's
`remoteCreated` flag).

Refs #17828

* perf(worktree): materialize a deferred fork-PR remote on terminal spawn

An agent running raw git in a freshly opened fork-PR review terminal has no
usable upstream until an Orca-driven sync happens -- "sync through Orca
first" isn't available mid-task, and git pull/log @{u}.. hard-fail without
one (verified against real git). Fire the same on-demand materialization
used by push/pull/fetch/fast-forward from the single terminal-spawn
resolver (resolveTerminalWorkspaceLaunchTarget), fire-and-forget, so a
newly opened terminal gets a working upstream without blocking spawn.

* fix(worktree): retest deferred fork-remote CI failures, fix SSH provenance-marker RPC

Rewrites the 5 CI failures on the deferred fork-remote change (#17828) as
evidence, not fixtures: the SSH relay-upgrade/rollback/sibling-ownership
tests move to materializeWorktreePushTargetRemoteSsh, where that
unchanged logic now actually runs (create defers it to first sync).

While writing a stricter test that routes its mock exec through the
relay's real validateGitExecArgs, found that the SSH provenance-marker
write (`git config remote.<name>.orca-created true`) was unconditionally
rejected by the relay's generic git.exec (it blocks all non-read-only
config writes) -- a real bug that would break every SSH fork-remote
materialization against a live relay. Fixes it with a narrow
git.markRemoteOrcaCreated RPC, mirroring renameCurrentBranch, with a
graceful no-op fallback for relays that predate it.

* fix(worktree): scope post-#17887 test assertions past narrow-refspec config calls

Rebasing onto #17887's narrow-refspec `remote add` broke two broad `['config']`
call-filters into false positives/negatives, and the local materialize test still
asserted the pre-#17887 wide `remote add`/fetch-refspec forms.

* fix(worktree): restructure upstream restore, persist provenance, widen short-circuit refspec (#17828 review)

- Move upstream restoration to the materializer level so it runs on both the
  remoteAlreadyMatchesUrl short-circuit and the full-prepare path, not just
  buried inside prepare*.
- Persist {remoteCreated, remoteName} to the store on materialize so #17842's
  orphan sweep can see a lazily-created remote, including via desktop IPC,
  terminal-spawn, and the RPC host-callback paths.
- Widen the refspec on the local short-circuit path too (SSH's bare `remote
  add` refspec gap remains a documented, pre-existing limitation).
- Fetch the branch's tracking ref before restoring upstream when the
  short-circuit widens onto a *new* branch on an already-existing remote --
  a bare refspec-config widen never itself imports anything, so
  `branch --set-upstream-to` was hard-failing for a sibling worktree's first
  materialize (found via a real-git fixture, not just mocked unit tests).
  Skipped when the ref already exists so the common repeat-call case stays a
  local-only probe with no network round-trip.

* fix(worktree): merge duplicate shared/worktree/types import

oxlint --deny-warnings flags the split import as no-duplicates; full pnpm lint
was failing on it after the #17828 review restructuring.

* fix(worktree): scope the deferred fetch timeout to fetch calls, retarget stale create-time assertions

CI on the previous push failed 3 shards, all argument-shape mismatches:

- worktrees-wsl-runtime-routing.test.ts: the "restructure upstream restore" commit
  wrapped every call `prepareWorktreePushTarget` makes (remote, remote add, config,
  fetch) with DEFERRED_PUSH_TARGET_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS, not just the network fetch. Local
  git subprocesses never need a timeout; scope it to `args[0] === 'fetch'` only,
  matching the short-circuit path's existing pattern. Updated the test to expect the
  timeout on the fetch call specifically (point 5 legitimately adds it there), while
  every other call stays untimed.

- worktrees-create-metadata-persistence.test.ts (2 tests): stale from before this
  session -- create no longer mints a fork remote at all (#17828 deferred that to
  first sync), so asserting `remote add`/`fetch`/`remoteCreated: true` at create time
  no longer matches reality. Retargeted both tests to assert the deferred contract
  (no remote add at create, pushTarget persisted unmaterialized); minting itself
  stays covered by worktree-remote-push-target-materialization.test.ts and
  worktree-push-target-setup.test.ts.

Re-verified all 5 fixture points (mint upstream, store persistence, single-flight,
short-circuit refspec widen + fetch-missing-ref for local and SSH, finite timeout)
against a real git fixture after this fix -- all still pass.

* fix(worktree): hook pty:spawn into deferred push-target materialization (#17828)

triggerTerminalSpawnPushTargetMaterialization only fired for agent/background/
mobile terminals; the desktop GUI's own pty:spawn path (new tab, split,
reattach) never materialized a deferred fork-PR remote before raw git
commands could run there. Add a small wrapper that resolves the worktree's
push target and owning repo from args.worktreeId via the store, and
fire-and-forget delegates to the existing materializer, wired as the first
statement of runPtyIpcSpawn. Degrades silently (optional chaining + catch)
so a partial/fake Store in existing spawn tests can't turn this into a
spawn-blocking throw.

* test(worktree): retarget stale editor-remote-branch assertions for worktreeId threading

runtime-git-sync-client's local-path fetch/pull/fastForward/push calls now
forward context.worktreeId (needed by the main-process handlers to key
deferred push-target materialization). Update the 17 call-site mocks across
15 tests in editor-remote-branch-actions.test.ts to expect worktreeId: 'wt-1',
matching the already-correct source behavior -- no assertion was loosened.

* fix(worktree): give a materialize joiner its own branch wiring

The materialize single flight is keyed on the remote, but everything after
the remote add is per-branch. A sibling worktree joining an in-flight mint
for a different branch received the minter's target and skipped its own
refspec widen, tracking-ref fetch, and upstream link, so its branch ended
with no upstream at all.

Wait for the remote, then run the per-branch work against the joiner's own
target -- the same path the already-exists short-circuit takes, now shared
rather than duplicated. Adopting a remote a sibling minted also stamps
ownership, so removing the minter cannot strand the survivor's metadata
outside the orphan sweep's reach.

* fix(worktree): stop a failed mint from leaving a config-only fork remote

Review of the joiner fix found it made things worse in three ways.

Swallowing the mint's rejection let a joiner adopt a remote the rollback
had already removed, writing remote.<name>.fetch with no URL. Verified on
real git: that ghost section breaks `git fetch --all`, forces every later
mint to a `-2` name, and cannot be removed by `git remote remove`.
Propagate instead; the in-flight map is already cleared, so a retry
re-mints.

The SSH twin still returned the minter's target to a joiner, so the
original per-branch bug survived there. It now adopts against its own
target through a twin helper.

The ownership stamp was unreachable: it required both a store and a repo
id, and no caller passes both. Derive the repo id from the worktree id.

Adopters also write remote config, and concurrent `git config --add` has
no lock retry -- 135 of 160 writes failed at 8-way concurrency, and equal
values duplicate the refspec. Chain adoptions per remote.
