Neil b852aa74a6 fix(ci): store vetted refs in a reftable so case-twin branches don't fail the fetch (#18970)
The adhoc mac and dev-channel Windows builds vet the requested ref by
mirroring every branch and tag of this repo into a scratch bare repo and
proving the commit is reachable. Both runner disks are case-insensitive,
and the repo now has two branches differing only in casing, so the files
backend refuses the fetch outright — the whole job dies before checkout.

reftable keys refs in a table rather than as file paths, so both refs
store and every ref stays in the reachability set.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker b6ca8dad99 fix(hooks): register the Claude hook script directly on Windows (#18875) (#18905)
* fix(hooks): register the Claude hook script directly on Windows (#18875)

The Windows Claude Code lifecycle hook was registered as
`powershell.exe -NoProfile -EncodedCommand <...>` whose entire decoded payload
was a `Test-Path` and a call to `~/.orca/agent-hooks/claude-hook.cmd`. Every
hook event paid a full PowerShell start-up to reach a script that exits at its
first `ORCA_PANE_KEY` guard, so sessions outside Orca paid it to do nothing.

Register the script path itself instead, with `|| echo {}` for the
neutral-JSON-when-missing contract (#14818). Measured on Windows 11, invoked as
Claude Code invokes it (`printf payload | bash -c -l "<command>"`):

  idle (n=12)          baseline 177ms | before 471ms | after 213ms
  10-way conc (n=40)            --    | before 656ms | after 296ms
  p95 under load                --    | before 696ms | after 337ms

It also drops an interpreter from the chain the hook's timeout kill must tear
down. Killing the hook does not kill its PowerShell grandchild, which still
holds the stdout handle the agent reads to EOF -- measured, EOF arrived 352ms
AFTER the kill, when the orphan exited by itself. msys2 creates children
suspended and resumes them after, so a kill landing in that window strands one
that never exits and EOF never comes; that is the reported frozen session.

The encoded launcher stays as the fallback for profile paths the shells cannot
carry bare (space, `%`, `^`, `&`, non-ASCII) and for hosts where Git Bash is not
resolvable, because PowerShell 5.1 rejects `||`. Every other agent's hook is
untouched, as is the remote/SSH path.

Not adopted from the report: `cmd.exe /d /c <path>` (MSYS rewrites the `/c`
under Git Bash -- measured, the invocation fails), and raising the 10s timeout
(the orphan survives the kill regardless; the fast path puts the hook 30x under
the budget so the kill effectively stops firing).

* fix(build): list the new hook launcher modules in the CLI tsconfig project

config/tsconfig.cli.json enumerates its files explicitly, so the two new
imports reached by src/main/claude/hook-settings.ts failed tc:cli with TS6307.
src/main/git-bash.ts pulls in only node:fs, node:path and a shared constant,
so it adds nothing heavy to the CLI project.

* fix(hooks): address review of the direct Windows Claude hook launcher

- Make the Windows hook suites host-independent. A box with a cmd.exe AutoRun
  (HKCU\...\Command Processor\AutoRun) failed them at HEAD too: the tests
  redirect USERPROFILE, the AutoRun target vanishes, and MSYS spawns a .cmd
  without /d so AutoRun runs and lands on the hook's stderr. Seed an empty
  target, including under the deliberately-absent profile.
- Note in managed-hook-stdin-lifecycle why the "missing managed script" case no
  longer exercises the fallback for the direct shape (it carries an absolute
  path, so a redirected profile changes nothing); that path is covered live in
  windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts.
- Keep the direct shape off UNC profiles: WINDOWS_CMD_SAFE_PATH admits them, but
  //server/share/... is not a command cmd.exe reliably starts.
- Correct the comments: `|| echo {}` also fires when cmd.exe itself exits
  non-zero (failing AutoRun), printing {} twice. The encoded launcher exited 1
  on that same box, so neither shape is clean there.
- Test the contract that replaced runtime %USERPROFILE% resolution (STA-3348): a
  stale absolute path reports not_installed and is rewritten on install.
- Record the standing unmeasured assumption in windows-edr-posture.md: `||` does
  not parse in Windows PowerShell 5.1, so a compat consumer that hosts hook
  strings there would fail closed. Measure before widening to another agent.
- Trim the launcher comments per AGENTS.md; the numbers live in the doc.

* test(win32): register the new Windows-gated hook test in the CI lane

win32-test-lane-registration guards against exactly this: a Windows-gated file
that self-skips on ubuntu and reports success, so it runs on no machine. The new
windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts needs both entries — WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS
decides whether package_windows runs for a diff, and the workflow argv decides
whether the file runs once that job started.

* test(win32): remove the hook temp tree through the retrying helper

windows-lane-tree-removal-boundary scans exactly the specs in the Windows CI
lane, so registering windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts subjected it to the
rule: cmd.exe and bash have just exited in that tree, and a raw recursive rm
throws EPERM on Windows while their handles drain, turning a green spec into a
lane failure. Use removeTreeSync, which carries the repo's maxRetries policy.

* perf(terminal): tighten the partial-escape-tail benchmark and equivalence test

* perf(terminal): spell the ESC gate the same way as the sibling ingest gates

* test(terminal): differential-fuzz the ESC-free partial-escape-tail gate against the unguarded fold

* test(terminal): make the escape-tail fuzz exhaustive at symbol depth, and cap the fold expectation

Two review findings on the differential fuzz, both about the test faithfully modelling the
function it guards.

The odometer generated strings by symbol depth but the caller filtered on `chunk.length`, which
is the UTF-16 code-unit count. An astral symbol is two code units, so every depth-4 string
containing one was silently skipped and the corpus was not exhaustive at depth 4 the way the
test name claimed. The generator now yields `{ depth, text }` and the caller filters on depth.
That restores the missing strings and takes the pinned corpus from 516,566 to 593,468 - exactly
the count CodeRabbit derived for the intended corpus.

The pairing assertion in the sibling suite compared the capped `advancePartialEscapeTail`
against an uncapped `extractPartialEscapeTail(pending + chunk)`. It passed only because no
pairing in that corpus crosses MAX_PARTIAL_ESCAPE_TAIL_LENGTH; it would have stopped modelling
the function the moment one did. The cap now lives in the expectation, matching the fuzz
oracle.

Re-verified the fuzz still fails on a wrong guard: mutating the gate to a bracket check fails
all four tests with a `gate diverged` assertion on a lone ESC chunk.

Neil 320f4c8b87 perf(renderer): index four projections that rescanned their inputs per keystroke (#18747)
Four renderer projections scanned a collection inside a loop over another collection, each on a
path that reruns per keystroke or per store write. All four now build the index once per stable
input, which is what the surrounding code already does for its other lookups.

`workspace-kanban-search.ts` called `searchWorktrees`, the convenience wrapper that builds the
palette document index inline. The board's filter hook memoized the whole call on the query, so
every character re-normalized and re-segmented every indexed field of every worktree — and did
it again on every agent-status tick while a query was active, since those churn board
identities. `buildWorkspaceBoardPaletteDocuments` splits out, memoized on
`[worktrees, repoMap]`; only the match reruns per keystroke. This is the shape
`worktree-jump-palette-document-index.ts` already provides for Cmd-J.

`useTabGroupItemProjections` resolved each editor tab against `state.openFiles` — the global
list across every worktree — and each `tabOrder` entry against the group's tabs, with a `.find`
per element. Both are now `Map` lookups, alongside the `terminalTabById` index the same file
already built. The memo key `groupTabs` gets a new identity on any unified-tab write, so this
ran on title, label and colour changes.

`buildSourceControlTree` rebuilt every ancestor path with `segments.slice(0, i + 1).join('/')`
per segment, making tree construction O(files x depth^2) in characters copied — on the path the
Source Control file filter rebuilds per keystroke. The path now accumulates.

`worktree-header-section-boundaries.ts` ran a full `findIndex` over the render rows for every
header row, plus an `indexOf` over the bucket ordering, in two `useMemo`s keyed on `renderRows`
— so it recomputed on every sidebar row-model change, not just during a drag. One indexing pass
each, first-match-wins to match `findIndex`/`indexOf`. The successor index is keyed per bucket
because a repo or group id can appear in more than one bucket ordering; a flat id-keyed map would
pick whichever bucket was iterated first. `worktree-header-section-boundaries.test.ts` pins that
and the first-wins duplicate-header case.

Measured by `pnpm bench:renderer-quadratic-scans`. Three scenarios time the production export
against a reproduction of the pre-change function; the tab-group scenario is modelled on both
sides because the projection lives inside a React hook. Each asserts before/after agree first.

| projection | drives | scale | before | after | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| workspace board filter (per keystroke burst) | production | 300 worktrees x 12 keystrokes | 15.4 ms | 4.4 ms | 3.5x |
| tab-group projections (per unified-tab write) | modelled | 60 tabs x 120 open files | 1.23 ms | 0.34 ms | 3.6x |
| source-control tree build (per filter keystroke) | production | 5000 changed files | 6.2 ms | 3.9 ms | 1.6x |
| sidebar header boundaries (per row-model rebuild) | production | 80 repos x 600 rows | 2.0 ms | 0.8 ms | 2.6x |

The tree and sidebar wins are smaller than the scans they remove because the rest of each
function (tree finalize/sort, per-row size estimation) is linear and now dominates.
4,537 existing sidebar, tab-group and right-sidebar tests pass unmodified.

Neil c36dd5f4c7 perf(terminal): skip the partial-escape-tail walk on ESC-free PTY chunks (#18748)
`advancePartialEscapeTail` runs once per PTY chunk, on the main thread, for every terminal —
visible, hidden or parked — inside `HeadlessEmulator`'s write path. It unconditionally
concatenated the pending tail with the whole chunk and then walked the result one code unit at
a time through a VT500 state machine.

`extractPartialEscapeTail` only leaves `ground` on an ESC byte, so with no pending tail and no
ESC in the chunk the answer is always ''. Taking that case up front skips both the full-chunk
concat and the walk. `String.prototype.includes` is a native scan, so the gate costs
essentially nothing on the chunks it does not short-circuit.

This is the same gate its two neighbours on the very same ingest path already apply —
`TerminalOscCwdTitleScanner.scan` and `TerminalMouseModeMirror.scan`, both carrying a comment
citing their measured share of a 2.2x ingest regression. This call was simply missed.

Measured by `pnpm bench:terminal-partial-escape-tail` over 640 x 16 KB chunks (10 MB), median
of 7 rounds:

| stream shape | before | after | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ESC-free (build logs, `cat`, piped output) | 40.3 ms | 0.19 ms | 213x |
| SGR-coloured output (gate does not apply) | 30.6 ms | 32.1 ms | 1.0x |

The benchmark proves equivalence over a 226-case corpus before timing, and a new unit test
pairs every pending-tail state the scanner can be left in against every chunk shape, asserting
the gate is indistinguishable from the unconditional fold.

Neil e1599c94b8 perf(terminals): let idle panes share one process-table capture instead of forking their own (#18742)
* perf(terminals): let idle panes share one process-table capture instead of forking their own

Every visible local pane runs an agent-completion cadence that resolves through
`getStrictProcessTableSnapshot`, and the inspection queue already collapses every
shared-observation task enqueued in the same tick onto a single whole-host `ps`. Independent
±10% jitter per pane defeated that: the jitter was re-rolled on each reschedule, so panes
drifted permanently apart, each landing in its own tick and each missing the snapshot's 500 ms
TTL. Four idle panes cost four captures where one would have served all of them.

Idle panes now aim at a deadline grid anchored at the epoch. The pull-forward is clamped to the
snapshot TTL, so no interval is ever longer than its tier and none is more than 500 ms shorter:
a pane off the grid walks onto it over at most `tier / TTL` steps, costs at most one extra
inspection in total, and no inspection is ever delayed.

Scoped deliberately. A pane with a foreground agent, or one still inside the 10 s post-activity
hot window, keeps its exact interval and its own phase, so the bounded hot cadence is unchanged.
The error-backoff path keeps its jitter, where spreading retries across panes is the point.

Measured by `pnpm bench:agent-inspection-cadence` — whole-host `ps` captures over 60 s at the
2 s idle tier, median of 21 rounds:

| visible panes | before | after | reduction |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 29 | 29 | 0% |
| 2 | 42 | 30 | 29% |
| 4 | 62 | 31 | 50% |
| 8 | 82 | 32 | 61% |

`process-table-snapshot-reader.ts` measures the `command=` column at 1.15 s of work for 1,948
processes, so these are captures a quiet app was paying for continuously.

All 4,202 existing terminal-pane tests pass unchanged, including the no-evidence cadence suite
that pins the relaxed and hot intervals.

* test(terminals): report n/a instead of dividing by a zero baseline in the cadence benchmark

A window shorter than one cadence tier leaves the baseline capture count at zero, and the
reduction line then divided by it and printed a meaningless percentage. Reported by CodeRabbit
on #18742.

Neil b33d1972bc docs(relay): correct why the ConPTY teardown asset diverges from the desktop patch (#18636)
The divergence pinned by #18601 is real and worth keeping, but its stated reason
was wrong. It claimed the desktop patch carries the early conin placement "and
therefore the +2 File / +1 Process regression, measured against its exact
installed tree" -- i.e. that the shipped desktop app leaks because of its own
leak fix.

It does not, for any terminal a user opens. node-pty defaults `_useConptyDll` to
false. Every desktop site that opens a pane sets it true (`local-pty-utils.ts`
twice, `native-pty-spawn.ts`), as does the `windows-conpty-warmup.ts` warm-up, so
they take the `else` branch, where upstream already destroys the input socket. The
relay passes no such option (`src/relay/pty-handler.ts`) and takes the
`!useConptyDll` branch -- the one both this asset and the desktop patch edit.

The desktop is not entirely off that branch, though: the hidden rate-limit probes
in `src/main/rate-limits/claude-pty.ts` and `codex-pty-rate-limit-probe.ts` omit
the option, recur, and tear down through `kill()`, so the hunk is live there --
just never for a visible pane. Whether the early placement costs the same +2 File
/ +1 Process across a probe's lifecycle is unmeasured; the numbers in this comment
were taken on relay-style spawn/kill cycles, and the comment now says so. What is
settled is the replaced claim: not every Windows user, and not every terminal.

Those two probes were missed three enumerations running because they use
`await import('node-pty')`, which no static-import grep finds. The comment now
tells the next reader to grep for `node-pty` instead.

The measurement that produced the wrong claim was taken by a standalone harness
that passed no `useConptyDll` and so defaulted into the branch it was not trying
to measure -- the same standalone-is-not-the-real-host trap #18601's own body
warns about, one level down.

Also refreshes the self-exit paragraph, which #18635 made stale. That leak is now
fixed for the desktop, and the note records why the fix cannot reach a Windows
relay. The fix is mostly native (`src/win/conpty.cc`) and this asset only rewrites
`lib/*.js`, and all three delivery paths stop short of Windows: pnpm patches do
not cross the SSH boundary; `MATRIX_SLOTS` in `build-orcad-prebuilds.mjs` has no
win32 entry; and the one relay asset that does patch native source and rebuild on
the host (`node-pty-1.1.0-master-cloexec-patch.cjs`) returns
`skipped:unsupported-platform` for anything but linux/darwin. #18635's flat self-exit relay numbers were measured
against a locally rebuilt binary, so they describe the relay code path on a
patched tree, not the tree a relay host installs -- the note says so explicitly
rather than leaving the next reader to conflate them.

Assertion and hashes unchanged: the relay must still release conin after the
console-list fork, and a patch sync must still not copy the early placement onto
the relay's branch, where it does cost +2 File and +1 Process per terminal. Only
the justification changes, plus the test name, which said "like the desktop
patch" where it meant "unlike the desktop patch placement".

Neil 41b520259e ci(package): retry apt fetches and docker builds behind the Ubuntu mirror (#18797)
The package job builds three Docker images whose apt-get update/install
hit archive.ubuntu.com with no retry, timeout, or mirror fallback. When
the mirror is mid-sync every build dies in one of three ways:

- per-package fetch stalls (~64 s each, `Ign:` lines) until the runner's
  10-minute docker build timeout fires:
  https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/33935104546/job/101221447425
- `apt-get update` exit 100 with `Hash Sum mismatch` on
  noble-updates/restricted/Packages.gz:
  https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/33935104546/job/101226099525
- `apt-get update` exit 100 with `File has unexpected size ... Mirror
  sync in progress?`:
  https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/33935244026/job/101231083497

Each Dockerfile now retries `apt-get update` up to five times with
Acquire::Retries and a 30 s HTTP timeout, clearing /var/lib/apt/lists
between attempts so a half-synced index is never reused, and passes the
same acquire options to `apt-get install`. Each runner script retries the
whole `docker build` once when the first attempt fails or times out.

Neil 0a821e5bc8 fix(crash-reporting): make the own-Chromium gate a real choke point, and stop a refusal leaking the root (#18459)
* fix(crash-reporting): make the own-Chromium gate a real choke point

Round-3 review found the guard was not the choke point its own comments
claimed: six pid-addressed `taskkill /pid <pid> /t /f` families in main were
ungated and uninstrumented, so the stale-pid shape stayed producible and a
`selfInitiatedTreeKillCount: 0` could read as exculpatory when it was not.

- Gate the remaining main-process families: the git command-runner abort, the
  notebook-cell and automation-precheck timeouts.
- Turn the `src/shared` seam into the gate itself (`process-tree-kill-gate`), so
  the runProcess choke point, the codex app-server deadline kill and the
  ephemeral-VM recipe kill ask the same decision. Those three are compiled into
  the CLI/relay too and cannot import main; main installs the guard at preflight.
- Ratchet (`main-process-tree-kill-gate.test.ts`): a new pid-addressed taskkill
  in main that skips the gate fails, and the allowlist entries must still exist.
- Give pid-addressed kills eviction priority in the 32-entry ring: 32 routine
  `win-pty-job` teardowns from a window-close burst no longer evict the one
  entry that discriminates a self-kill from an external one.
- Correct the coverage doc, which described the uninstrumented Windows sites as
  POSIX `process.kill(-pid)` group kills and omitted the git and codex paths.

* fix(crash-reporting): keep a refused tree-kill from leaking the root it owns

A refusal must block the pid-addressed tree walk, not the termination. Five of
the six gated sites returned on refusal with no fallback, so a refused
`taskkill /pid /t /f` left git.exe, a timed-out notebook cell, an automation
precheck or an ephemeral-VM recipe running while the caller reported it stopped.
The root kill is addressed by the child handle, which cannot reach the recycled
pid the refusal is about, so it stays correct and required on that path.

Also fixes the ring eviction the scope preference introduced: with the ring
saturated by pid-addressed kills, the only non-pid-addressed entry is the one
just pushed, so the splice evicted itself and the detail came back `{}` --
byte-identical to the external-kill arm, in the window-close case the guard
exists for. Eviction now excludes the newest entry and falls back to FIFO.

Tests: refusal now asserts the root kill at all six sites, and the ring covers
the saturated-pid ordering as well as round 3's group-burst ordering.

* fix(crash-reporting): stop a refused tree-kill leaking the commit-message agent, and count call sites

Two round-5 blocking findings, both open on main and on both branches.

`killSourceControlAgentProcess` had no root-kill fallback on its win32 arm: the
taskkill was the only termination, so once the own-Chromium gate could refuse it
the promise resolved having killed nothing. Both callers do
`terminationComplete ??= killSourceControlAgentProcess(child)` and then release
the managed-home lock on that promise, so a refusal left the local Codex/Claude
commit-message agent running while the caller reported it stopped -- the
lock-contention failure the taskkill was added for. Same fix as the six sibling
sites: the handle-addressed root kill cannot reach the recycled pid the refusal
is about, so it stays correct and required on that path.

The ratchet was file-granular, not call-site granular: one gate mention anywhere
in a file exempted every taskkill in it, which left the six files that now ask
the gate ratchet-blind -- the inverse of what it is for. It now counts `/pid`
call sites against gate admissions per file, so a second ungated kill inside an
existing family fails. Keying on the `/pid` argument rather than a quoted
`taskkill` also catches a kill whose program name comes from a constant. The
three comments that claimed more than the old scan enforced now state the rule
and its two remaining blind spots.

Also: the recording in `admitSelfInitiatedTreeKill` is now wrapped the way the
`admitProcessTreeKill` seam already wraps it, with the refusal decision taken
before anything that can throw so a diagnostics failure cannot flip it; and
`orca-chromium-process-pids` documents the false-positive direction (a stale
`getAppMetrics()` entry plus pid reuse refuses a live unrelated child), which is
the mechanism the root-kill fallback exists to bound.

Tests: refusal now asserts the root kill at all seven sites; the ratchet asserts
call-site counting and the constant-program form.

* test(crash-reporting): run the own-Chromium gate against real Windows trees

Nothing on this branch had ever executed on Windows. The unit tests pin the
gate's decision against a mocked taskkill, which cannot show that the decision
does anything to a real process: that `/T /F` reaps a detached grandchild, that
a refusal leaves that tree standing, or that the handle-addressed root kill the
refusal path falls back to reaps the root while orphaning descendants.

Adds a win32-gated live test covering all four, registered in both the
`package_windows` CI lane and `WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS` as
`win32-test-lane-registration` requires.

Also completes the coverage doc's "never instrumented" list, which omitted the
macOS keyboard-input-source probe's POSIX group kill in `ipc/app.ts`.

* fix(crash-reporting): pin the commit-message root kill on the Windows arm

The first Windows run of this branch found nine failures the macOS suite
cannot see: `commit-message-text-generation-test-harness` asserts
`expect(child.kill).not.toHaveBeenCalled()` on `process.platform === 'win32'`,
which is the contract the previous commit deliberately replaced — and it
branches on the real platform, so it is dead code everywhere CI runs today.

The harness now asserts the handle-addressed root kill on every platform. On
win32 it lands after the tree walk, so the expectation waits rather than reading
one tick early, and its ten call sites await it. Red against the pre-fix arm at
all seven sites; the production code is unchanged.

* test(crash-reporting): remove the Windows lane marker tree through the retrying helper

The new win32 spec teardown used a raw rmSync, which the windows-lane-tree-removal
boundary ratchet rejects — and which is exactly the EPERM the ratchet exists to
prevent, since this spec's marker directory is written by processes it has just
force-killed.

* fix(crash-reporting): only refuse pid-addressed tree walks, disclose the handle-less codex site

The own-Chromium gate refused the POSIX process-group arm of
signalProcessTree as well, which was new macOS/Linux behaviour: a stale
getAppMetrics() entry plus pid reuse would orphan a group that main reaps
today. A POSIX group only holds what Orca put in it, so the refusal is now
scoped to win-taskkill-tree and the POSIX arm is recorded and admitted like
the other group kills in main. That also drops the synchronous
getAppMetrics() read from every POSIX termination.

codex-turn-added-roots kills roots found by a table walk, so a refusal has
no handle to fall back to. Pin that the refusal is visible - crumb written,
turn reported as not cancelled - rather than fixing what cannot be fixed.

* fix(claude): resolve Claude structured launch args, auth, and win32 proof

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 —
`useStructuredAgentSessionCreate` runs `canUseStructuredNativeChat` for
`'claude'` as well as `'codex'` — but its description named only Codex.

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.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JMhFjh9HEnkcJ5YTfCdgD3

* 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.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AobxxokqQ3qcxS7sy7ckum

* 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.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AobxxokqQ3qcxS7sy7ckum

* 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.

* fix(native-chat): merge the duplicated handoff type import

CI's static-analysis lint (`oxlint --config
config/oxlint-code-quality-native-plugins.json src config tests mobile

same module.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AobxxokqQ3qcxS7sy7ckum

* fix(claude): answer a permission callback whose signal already aborted

settleFrom registered the abort listener and then delivered the request. A
callback that arrives already aborted never fires that event, so the promise
stayed pending behind a durable prompt with no cancel path. Check the signal
first, emit the cancel, and resolve the SDK's null sentinel without registering.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AobxxokqQ3qcxS7sy7ckum

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

The scripted CLI writes its report at startup, so `until(readReport)` returned a
report with no user messages whenever the child had not yet read the line. The
assertion then failed under parallel load. Poll for the frame instead of for the
file.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AobxxokqQ3qcxS7sy7ckum

* 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.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GaP5HpYQbvy2hYehVhwfEW

* 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.

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.

* 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.

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.

Jinwoo Hong 3e4fd4a7af Shorten orchestration skill description under the Agent Skills 1024-char limit (#18683)
* Shorten orchestration skill description under the Agent Skills 1024-char limit

The folded description was 1038 chars, so spec-conforming installers such
as SkillStar rejected the bundled orchestration skill. Drop the two clauses
already covered elsewhere in the same description: "decomposing work across
agents" (implied by "structured multi-agent coordination") and "automation
of the browser embedded inside Orca" (restated by the locked `orca-cli`
embedded-pages sentence). Every routing trigger asserted by
orchestration-skill-guidance.test.mjs, the orca-cli handoff boundary, and
the Computer Use boundary are unchanged. Result: 958 chars.

Add config/scripts/skill-description-length.test.mjs, which parses every
skills/*/SKILL.md frontmatter with `yaml` and fails on an empty or >1024
char description, so the regression cannot return. orca-cli sits at 1015
and is left as is.

Fixes #17935

* Keep the embedded browser in the orchestration description's orca-cli routing

Restores the word "browser" in the orca-cli sentence ("and the Orca embedded
browser") so agents scanning for it still route embedded-browser control to
orca-cli. Description is 985 chars, 39 under the spec limit.

Neil f7e3af254a fix(pty): close the pseudoconsole and dispose the conout worker on Windows self-exit (F24) (#18635)
* fix(pty): close the pseudoconsole when a Windows shell exits by itself

`ClosePseudoConsole` is the only thing that reaps a ConPTY's console host.
node-pty calls it from one place, `PtyKill`, which starts by looking the baton
up by id -- and the exit watcher in `SetupExitCallback` erased that baton the
moment the shell died. So on the self-exit path (typing `exit`, how panes
usually close) the lookup missed, `PtyKill` did nothing at all, and the
pseudoconsole was never closed.

The baton now survives until BOTH the shell has exited and `kill()` has run;
whichever arrives second frees it. `PtyKill` copies `hpc` out under the lock and
closes it afterwards, guards `TerminateProcess` on a shell handle the watcher
may already have closed, and duplicates that handle rather than reordering, so
upstream's close-then-terminate sequence is unchanged.

Measured on Windows 11, 20 self-exit cycles driven exactly as Orca drives them
(`onExit -> destroy()`), handles bucketed by NT object type:

  relay spawn (no useConptyDll)   225 -> 285 (+1 Process +2 File/term)
                            after 219 -> 219  FLAT

  desktop spawn (useConptyDll)    239 -> 439 (+1 Process +2 Thread +5 File/term)
                            after 235 -> 395 (+2 Thread +4 File/term)

The desktop residue is a separate defect in the `useConptyDll` branch of
`WindowsPtyAgent.kill()`, which disposes the conout worker only from an
`_outSocket.on('data')` handler -- and no data arrives after the shell has gone.
Fixing that line as well takes the desktop to 222 -> 222 FLAT, but it lives in
the `kill()` hunk owned by F23, so it is left to that change.

Refs F24.

* fix(pty): dispose the conout worker when a Windows shell exits by itself

Second, independent defect on the same self-exit path, and the larger half of
the desktop's leak. The `useConptyDll` branch of `WindowsPtyAgent.kill()`
disposed the conout worker only from an `_outSocket.on('data')` handler -- and
once the shell has gone no more data ever arrives, so the worker was never
disposed. The non-DLL branch three lines above already disposed unconditionally,
which is why only the desktop (the only spawner that sets `useConptyDll`) hit it.

Measured on Windows 11, 20 cycles, handles bucketed by NT object type, totals:

  self-exit,     relay spawn     225 -> 285   now  219 -> 219  FLAT
  self-exit,     desktop spawn   239 -> 439   now  222 -> 222  FLAT
  explicit kill, relay spawn     225 -> 285   now  219 -> 219  FLAT
  explicit kill, desktop spawn   235 -> 395   now  219 -> 219  FLAT

Neither fix alone is enough on the desktop: the pseudoconsole close is worth
+1 Process +1 File per terminal, this dispose +2 Thread +4 File.

The relay asset (config/relay-assets/node-pty-1.1.0-windows-pty-teardown-patch.cjs)
deliberately gets no counterpart: the relay takes the non-DLL branch, where the
dispose is already unconditional. Its reconstruction table needs the new hunk
though, or un-applying the desktop hunks no longer yields published node-pty.

Taken over from F23 at win-relay-qa's request after they verified that the
desktop never executes the non-DLL branch F23 was scoped around.

Refs F24.

* fix(pty): harden PtyKill against a failed handle duplication and a missing DLL

Both from review of #18635.

DuplicateHandle's result was dropped. On the live explicit-kill path a failed
duplication left hShellDup null, which the guard below could not tell apart from
the self-exit case, so TerminateProcess was skipped and the shell kept running
after its pane closed -- a worse outcome than the handle leak this patch exists
to fix. The failure now terminates through handle->hShell under the lock, where
it is valid and where TerminateProcess does not block. The only cost is that the
rare path kills before the console closes instead of after.

LoadConptyDll is now resolved BEFORE any baton state is touched, matching what
PtyConnect already does for the same reason. It throws when conpty.dll is
missing, and a throw after consoleClosed was set would strand the pseudoconsole
permanently: the retry finds the work claimed and does nothing.

Also corrects three comments the earlier commits made stale:
  - the ptyJobMutex note still said PtyKill reads the table unlocked
  - PtyListJobProcessIds said the baton is gone once the shell exits; it now
    outlives the shell, and the nulled hJob is what makes the answer null
  - windows-pty-job.ts said node-pty drops its handle record on exit

Re-measured on Windows 11 with the rebuilt binary, 20 cycles, all four paths
still flat: self-exit relay 219->219, self-exit desktop 222->222, explicit-kill
relay 219->219, explicit-kill desktop 219->219. Both explicit-kill runs report
22/22 shells exited, so the kill still lands.

Neil 766b5b153c fix(relay): release the ConPTY conin handle after teardown, not before it (#18601)
A Windows SSH relay leaked one Windows File handle per terminal, for the life of
the relay process, across reconnects. node-pty's `kill()` flips `readable` on the
conin and conout sockets and destroys neither; `_cleanUpProcess` destroys
`_outSocket`, so only conin is stranded, and it wraps a real named-pipe handle
from `fs.openSync(term.conin, 'w')`.

The obvious fix -- and the one config/patches/node-pty@1.1.0.patch ships for the
desktop -- releases it at the top of the branch, before `_getConsoleProcessList()`
forks and before the native kill. Measured against a real Windows SSH host, that
is three times worse than leaving the leak alone: teardown aborts partway, the
forked console-list agent is never reaped, and both pipe handles stay alive.
Releasing it at the end of the branch instead is flat.

20 spawn/kill cycles, handles bucketed by NT object type, identical numbers
standalone and through a real relay:

  published node-pty        File +1/terminal,  Process flat
  desktop patch placement   File +2/terminal,  Process +1/terminal
  released last (this)      File flat,         Process flat

`windowsTerminal.js` takes the desktop's error-listener hunks verbatim. The conin
listener is not what fixes the leak -- adding it alone changed nothing -- but it
is what keeps a pipe error retiring one terminal instead of the host.

The desktop patch has the early placement and therefore the regression, measured
against its exact installed tree. Correcting it there needs its own verification
on a Windows desktop build, so the trees diverge on this one hunk deliberately and
a test pins that so a future patch sync cannot copy the bug back.

Neil b85510f3a9 fix(terminal): warn about remote work when closing the window or quitting (#18593)
The native window-close warning was built from a local-only pty set: any
worktree with a connectionId was dropped whole, and any remote runtime pty
was filtered out. A build, test run, or agent on an SSH or Orca Remote host
was therefore structurally invisible to it, on every platform. The quit path
skipped the check entirely (#524), so remote work got no prompt at all.

Route both paths through the same probe the tab-close guard uses, so the two
cannot drift, and keep the verdict vocabulary of the SSH execution boundary:
only a host that answers "no children" suppresses the warning. An unreachable
host is `unverifiable`, never `exited`, so it warns rather than quitting
silently — with its own copy, because "could not reach the host" is a
different claim than "processes are running".

Quit still ignores local ptys, preserving #524: quitting is an unambiguous
instruction to end this machine's processes, but not to end execution on
someone else's, which a bounded relay grace period will SIGKILL once the
countdown expires.

The probe budget is 1.5s (vs the tab guard's 4s) because quit is time
sensitive; expiry raises the prompt, so an unreachable host costs a click
rather than the 15s RPC timeout or a silently orphaned build.

f36c03e84a fix(windows): make the install-dir ACL repair rescue the launch it runs in (#18361)
* fix(windows): repair the poisoned install-dir ACL before the window, not after

The install-dir LPAC ACL poison (electron/electron#51761) still costs every
affected machine at least one crash: the probe that detects it is
setImmediate-deferred and answers 0.9-3.0s in, while createMainWindow runs
synchronously in the same frame and its renderer dies at init 48-1373ms later.

- Persist the poison verdict the moment the probe reports it, and await the
  repair (bounded at 20s) before any window is created on a launch that already
  carries the marker.
- Do not engage the GPU safe-graphics fallback while the install-dir ACL verdict
  is poisoned or still outstanding. Safe graphics does not rescue a poisoned
  tree, and --in-process-gpu removes the GPU child, erasing the sibling-death
  evidence that identifies the shape (4 field reports landed in 'misc' this way).
- Clear the safe-graphics marker once the repair lands, so a repaired machine
  stops launching software-rendered for the rest of that build.
- Give the repair marker a bounded retry budget: it was written on failure and
  matched regardless of outcome, so one transient failure pinned a machine to
  'marker-hit' for the life of that version.

* test(windows): pin the install-dir ACL repair against the real icacls binary

* fix(windows): stop the install-DACL verdict from outliving the evidence

Adversarial review round 1. Five blocking findings, all addressed.

1. gpu-lifecycle guard had only a source grep (green with the polarity
   inverted). The stated justification -- that gpu-lifecycle's import graph
   cannot be driven in-process -- was wrong: mocking `electron` plus
   `@electron-toolkit/utils` imports it fine. Replaced with
   gpu-lifecycle-install-dir-acl-guard.test.ts, which drives the real
   handleGpuChildCrash against a stub tracker. All four cases go red when the
   guard is flipped to `if (!isInstallDirAclSuspect())`.

2. A clean probe verdict retired the on-disk marker but not the in-memory
   `poison` verdict, so a machine the probe just proved healthy kept
   suppressing the GPU safe-graphics fallback and kept the dialog accusing the
   install folder -- permanently, since a `status:'failed'` probe deliberately
   keeps the marker. A positive clean reading now latches `installDirReadClean`,
   drops the verdict, and outranks a repair result that lands after it (a
   'failed' from a repair with nothing left to fix must not re-accuse).
   'repaired' is kept: it is not a contradiction and it is what tells the user
   to reload.

3. `noteWindowsInstallDirAclProbePending()` ran on every `openMainWindow` while
   the probe is once-per-process, so every tray/second-instance reopen armed a
   15s window in which `recordGpuCrash` was never called at all -- on healthy
   machines. `probeWindowsInstallDirAcl` now reports whether THIS call
   dispatched, and only a dispatch arms the grace window.

4. The pre-window ordering guarantee was defeatable and untested.
   `focusExistingMainWindow` opens a window whenever there is none and the app
   is ready -- true for the whole 20s gate, which is exactly when a user
   double-clicks the shortcut again. Added a `canOpenWindow` seam (same
   'pending' semantics as the existing `!app.isReady()` case) wired to
   `isBlockingInstallDirAclRepairInFlight()`, plus
   windows-install-dir-acl-startup-wiring.test.ts pinning the await ahead of
   both window-creation paths and both new call sites.

5. windows-install-dir-acl-repair.win32.test.ts was absent from the pr.yml
   win32 allowlist, so it ran nowhere. Added.

Also from the non-blocking list:
- The repair no longer clears a `userConfirmed: true` safe-graphics marker;
  "keep safe graphics" is a user choice, not Orca's automatic latch.
- `repairWindowsInstallDirPackageAcl` now reports its dispatch too, so a second
  entry into the gate resolves immediately instead of eating the full 20s
  budget waiting on an `onDone` that is never coming.
- The gate is wrapped in try/catch/finally, matching the contract the probe
  documents as mandatory for anything upstream of window creation.

Rebutted, not applied:
- "Gate should be conditioned on app.isPackaged." A dev launch only carries the
  poison marker if a dev launch actually probed that tree and found the
  signature, in which case the dev renderer is dying the same way and the
  repair is exactly what is needed. The adjacent `isPackaged` check guards a
  packaged-only early-window optimisation, not a correctness boundary.
- "Fold the poison marker into the repair marker's `outcome`." They answer
  different questions with different lifetimes. The repair marker is a retry
  budget (`attempts >= 3` disables the repair for that version) and is never
  cleared; the poison marker is cleared by a successful repair and by a clean
  probe. A `'pending'` outcome written before the attempt would bump `attempts`,
  so three launches killed mid-repair would permanently disable a repair that
  never once ran icacls to completion.

* fix(windows): keep counting GPU crashes while the install-DACL verdict is pending

Adversarial review round 2. Both blocking findings addressed.

1. handleGpuChildCrash early-returned on isInstallDirAclSuspect() BEFORE
   recordGpuCrash, so the crash left no trace in the 30s rolling window. The
   suspect window is armed on every win32 non-serve launch, and the field
   bundles put it at 0.8-1.7s after main_window_created on hosts whose DACL is
   clean (matchesPoisonSignature=false) -- squarely inside the 2.1-6.2s
   bad-driver bursts this repo already pinned in
   gpu-crash-fallback-field-sessions.test.ts. A healthy machine with a failing
   driver could lose an entire coalesced burst and never engage safe graphics.

   The crash is now always recorded; only the engagement consults the verdict,
   and it waits for the verdict rather than acting on the suspicion
   (waitForInstallDirAclVerdict, resolved by the probe's onDone or by the
   existing 15s grace, whichever lands first).

   Deviation from the review's suggested shape, deliberately: awaiting the
   verdict before persisting anything reintroduces the exact race
   gpu-fallback-engagement.ts documents -- Chromium aborts the whole browser
   process on the 6th GPU crash, ~1.3s after the 3rd, which is less than the
   probe takes to answer. So the unconfirmed marker is written up front and
   withdrawn if the verdict comes back poisoned. A machine killed mid-wait
   still comes back software-rendered, and its marker is unconfirmed, which is
   the state the repair's own clear already retires.

   gpu-lifecycle-install-dir-acl-guard.test.ts now drives the real
   GpuCrashFallbackTracker and the real engagement path (the restart prompt
   firing is the signal) instead of a stub tracker, and covers the case the
   previous suite could not express: a burst that lands entirely inside the
   pending window still engages once the probe reports clean. Four reverts go
   red -- restoring the pre-record guard (2 tests), dropping the wait, dropping
   the post-wait re-check, and dropping the pre-wait marker write (2 tests).

2. The round-1 evidence block quoted commits, a test name and pass counts that
   no longer exist, and its real-icacls Windows run predated the commit that
   rewrote the gate. Re-run at this commit; counts and the live-Windows result
   are restated in the handoff rather than carried forward.

Also from the non-blocking list:
- 'marker-hit' conflated "already repaired" with "retry budget spent", because
  hasMarkerFor matches outcome === 'repaired' too. The result now carries
  alreadyRepaired, and the recovery maps that to stage 'repaired' -- so a launch
  killed between a successful repair and its marker clear no longer tells the
  user the folder needs an administrator, no longer latches
  isInstallDirAclSuspect() for the session, and does retire the poison marker.

Not applied, with reasoning:
- "clearGpuFallbackMarker narrowed to userConfirmed === false leaves the target
  population software-rendered after a repair." The summary was overstated and
  is corrected, but the narrowing stands: a userConfirmed marker now requires a
  clean DACL verdict, because the restart prompt that writes it is exactly what
  the gate above withholds while the install is a suspect. The population this
  family targets can no longer reach confirmMarker while poisoned.
- "writeInstallDirAclPoisonMarker re-stamps on a budget-exhausted machine
  forever." True, but on that machine the tree really is still poisoned and the
  gate resolves immediately ('skipped', no icacls spawn, no 20s wait), so the
  marker is telling the truth. Retiring it would be wrong; only a clean probe
  reading should.

* fix(windows): register the real-icacls spec and stop its teardown racing icacls

Two ratchets were red:
- windows-lane-tree-removal-boundary: the win32 spec's afterAll used raw
  rmSync on a tree two icacls.exe children had just rewritten DACLs on, which
  is the EPERM race removeTreeSync exists for.
- win32-test-lane-registration: the spec was in the pr.yml argv but not in
  WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS, so a future diff touching only test files would not
  select package_windows and the spec would self-skip on ubuntu and report
  success.

* fix(windows): re-arm the GPU fallback latch when the install-DACL verdict withholds it

recordGpuCrash reports the threshold crossing exactly once and latches `engaged`.
handleGpuChildCrash consumes that report before consulting the DACL verdict, and
installDirAclClearsGpuFallback then discards it — so nothing could ever engage
safe graphics again in that process. A machine whose tree the repair fixes and
whose driver is genuinely broken stayed hardware-accelerated through an unbounded
crash loop, with no prompt and no marker.

disengage() releases only the one-shot latch; the crash window is untouched, so a
real driver burst is still never erased. Test is RED without the re-arm.

* fix(windows): keep the safe-graphics marker while an install-DACL repair is in flight

The gate dispatches a repair without arming the probe clock, so
waitForInstallDirAclVerdict() returns immediately and the withdrawal deleted the
marker inside Chromium's FATAL window (crash 6 lands ~1.3s after crash 3, well
inside the 20s gate). The process then died mid-repair, spent no attempt, and
relaunched hardware accelerated into the same gate — spawning the same GPU
children, FATALing again, forever.

Hold the marker while poison.stage is 'pending' so that launch comes back
software rendered and the next gate runs to completion. Still not engaged this
launch, so --in-process-gpu does not erase the sibling-death evidence. A
terminal verdict has no next step to rescue, so it still withdraws. Both new
tests are RED without the retention.

* fix(windows): stop a repaired marker outranking a fresh poison verdict

The probe reads the install DACL and finds it poisoned; `startRepair` dispatches;
`markerHitFor` sees a repair marker recording `outcome: 'repaired'` for the same
installDir+appVersion and reports `alreadyRepaired`, which the recovery module maps
to stage 'repaired'. So the launch that just proved the tree poisoned runs no icacls,
deletes the poison marker that arms the next launch's pre-window gate, clears the
suspect flag so `--in-process-gpu` can engage on a tree safe graphics cannot rescue,
and tells the user "Orca repaired the permissions."

Reachable whenever the tree is re-poisoned after one successful repair of the same
version, and whenever a repair reports success without clearing the tree — the silent
icacls no-op this module exists to document.

A DACL reading taken this launch now outranks the marker: `probeConfirmedPoisoned`
stops `outcome: 'repaired'` short-circuiting the repair. The attempt budget still
bounds it, so an unrepairable tree does not re-spawn icacls forever. The pre-window
gate does not set the flag — it acts on a marker from an earlier launch, not on
evidence of its own, so a recorded repair still outranks it there.

Also drives the GPU-fallback re-arm test through a repair that actually completes
'repaired', rather than a later clean probe, which is the route the review exercised.

* fix(windows): make the pre-window ACL gate act on the poison evidence it fired on

The gate fired on a poison marker — an earlier launch's DACL reading that nothing has
retired — but withheld `probeConfirmedPoisoned` from the repair, so a repair marker
recording an older success still short-circuited it. On the three-launch shape the gate
exists for (repair succeeds; tree is re-poisoned; the next launch's probe records the
poison but dies before writing its repair marker) the gate ran no icacls, deleted the
poison marker that arms every later gate, un-suspected the tree so --in-process-gpu could
engage, and told the user "Orca repaired the permissions." `applyInstallDirAclProbeVerdict`
then swallowed that launch's own reading behind `if (poison) return`.

Both callers of `startRepair` hold outstanding poison evidence, so the flag is now
unconditional (renamed `poisonEvidenceOutstanding`) and `marker-hit` means only that the
attempt budget is spent. The probe guard is narrowed to an in-flight gate repair: a reading
taken after the gate finished re-arms the poison marker and downgrades a claimed repair.

Also: withholding safe graphics now ends with the repair budget. A machine whose attempts
are spent while the signature persists was denied safe graphics on every launch for the
life of that appVersion — and had its marker deleted each time — including the healthy
installs the probe's flag-blind ACE match over-matches, where the driver really is broken.

Non-blocking, same lane: re-read `isQuitting` after the up-to-15s verdict wait, and skip
the recovered-launch prompt when the ACL gate retired the marker read before whenReady.

* fix(windows): stop a timed-out gate repair outranking a later poison reading

The gate's 20s budget expires while icacls runs on under its own 120s cap, so
the probe can read the tree poisoned while that repair is still in flight. Its
success claim then deleted the poison marker, un-suspected the tree and told the
user their permissions were fixed. The reading is now latched and outranks it.

* fix(windows): stop a gate repair claim pre-empting this launch's probe reading

Round-7 adversarial findings, both driven against the real modules:

- isInstallDirAclSuspect returned false the moment the pre-window gate set
  stage 'repaired', short-circuiting ahead of the probe-pending grace check.
  The GPU children die 48-1373ms after window creation while the probe
  answers 0.9-3.0s in, so an icacls that silently no-opped (exit 0, tree
  untouched) opened exactly that interval to --in-process-gpu on a
  still-poisoned tree - and a 'keep safe graphics' answer then pinned a
  userConfirmed marker no later repair may clear, with the poison marker
  already deleted so no later launch gates. The claim now stays provisional
  until this launch's probe corroborates it or the grace window lapses.

- A probe reading that disproves a 'repaired' claim re-armed the poison
  marker but never restored the unconfirmed safe-graphics marker the claim
  had cleared, so the next launch relaunched hardware-accelerated into the
  re-armed gate. The clear is now captured and handed back on disproof.

* test(windows): pin the nested and update-inherited grants against real icacls

The live spec asserted the grant landed on the root-level module file only.
It now also pins that the flagless /T pass reaches a nested file carrying
its own protected DACL (the shape app.asar.unpacked and node_modules have),
and that a file written after the repair inherits the (OI)(CI) root grant -
the stated reason that grant form exists.

* fix(windows): keep the recovered-launch prompt silent while the tree is the suspect

Round-8 fresh-eyes finding, driven against the real modules: the prompt
re-read the marker the pre-window gate may have retired, but never consulted
isInstallDirAclSuspect() - so after a FAILED gate (tree still a live suspect,
window blank behind the 10s reveal fallback, Keep as both defaultId and
cancelId) a 'keep it' answer pinned a userConfirmed marker no later repair
may clear, on the exact victim class the repair cannot help. The guard now
covers both gate outcomes; staying silent leaves the marker unconfirmed,
which a successful repair still retires.

Neil 1c4c6b7fec perf(startup): stop queueing window creation behind the proxy apply and i18n (#18436)
* perf(startup): stop queueing window creation behind the proxy apply and i18n

Three independent, measured startup wins, all free:

1. Park the initial Chromium proxy apply on `mainProcessState` instead of
   awaiting it mid-`initializeReadyFoundation`. `setProxy` still starts at the
   identical moment; the default-session request guard (which holds, not
   cancels) is what actually fences fetchers on it, so only window creation
   stops waiting. Runtime launch still awaits it before the desktop relay and
   before every headless-serve fetcher.
2. Run `initializeMainProcessI18nAndMenu` concurrently with
   `initializeMainProcessRuntimeLaunch`. Nothing in window creation reads a
   translated string or the native menu.
3. Load `emojibase-data` in main through `createRequire` on first use instead
   of a static import, keeping 166 KB of JSON off `out/main/index.js` and its
   ~2 ms parse off every launch. The renderer keeps its eager copy unchanged.

out/main/index.js 7,210,071 -> 7,040,147 bytes. No renderer behaviour changes.

* fix(packaging): ship the emoji shortcode dataset main lazily requires

app.asar carries no node_modules, so main's bare requires resolve only out of
Resources/node_modules. emojibase-data is a devDependency and is not in the
packaged runtime allowlist, so the new createRequire in
deferred-emoji-shortcode-dataset.ts threw MODULE_NOT_FOUND in every packaged
build — breaking sanitizeWorktreeName, and with it workspace creation.

Copy the single 166 KB dataset (not the 49 MB package root) into
Resources/node_modules, and gate every createRequire'd bare specifier in
src/main against the packaged resource plan. verifyPackagedMainRuntimeDeps
cannot catch these: the bundler renames the require binding.

* test(proxy): fail CI when a main-process fetcher escapes the default-session guard

The hoist relies on installElectronProxyRequestGuard(session.defaultSession) holding every app-owned request until the persisted proxy lands. Nothing enforced that every fetcher actually lands on defaultSession. Two source-anchored rules do now: no net.fetch/net.request may name a session/partition, and every non-net .fetch( call site is counted against an allowlist.

* test(proxy): close the shorthand and chained-receiver holes in the fetch call-site audit

The audit caught `net.request({ session: x })` and `ident.fetch(`, but not the two
shapes a real regression is just as likely to take: the `{ url, session }` shorthand
that both `net.request` overloads accept, and a receiver with no bare identifier
(`session.fromPartition(...).fetch(`, `ctx.session.fetch(`). Rule 1 now also matches
the shorthand key; rule 2 scans every `.fetch(` and excludes only a literal
`net`/`globalThis`/`global` receiver. Audited counts are unchanged (2/2/1).

* fix(startup): scope the deferred emoji loader to the projects that own it

TS6307: the composite web project lists src/main/ipc/worktree-logic.ts, which
now imports the deferred dataset loader, and the shared lazy test reached into
src/main from a project that has no src/main files. Add the loader to
tsconfig.tc.web.json and move the cross-project case into a src/main test.

Also close the last two review gaps: gate the runtime-RPC startup failure
dialog (the only launch-phase translateMain reader) on a published i18n
barrier so a concurrent i18n phase cannot leave a non-English user with the
English fallback, and let the fetch call-site audit match `net.fetch (url)`.

Neil 04ae62202a fix(ssh): close the macOS relay's per-terminal pty fd leak (#18534)
The relay asset from #17920 only rewrote the forkpty `default:` call site, which
sits in the `#else` arm of PtyFork's `#if defined(__APPLE__)`. macOS takes
`pty_posix_spawn`, so the asset had never patched anything a Mac executes -- and
`applyNodePtyMasterCloexecPatch` returned 'fixed' for any non-Linux host without
running the script at all, which is what publishes a tree to the shared
native-deps cache.

Stock `pty_posix_spawn` opens up to three throwaway ptys to push the real master
off fds 0-2 and never closes them: the cleanup loop is `for (; count > 0;
count--)`, but the first `posix_openpt()` in a running process already returns
>= 2, so it breaks with `count == 0` and the body never runs -- and where it does
run it closes `low_fds[count]`, never `low_fds[0]`. One orphaned /dev/ptmx fd per
terminal, for the life of the relay.

Ports the `low_fds` fix and the Apple-branch `pty_cloexec(master)` call from the
app's `config/patches/node-pty@1.1.0.patch`, byte-identical, and runs the gate on
darwin. macOS needs a different build layout than Linux: it has no `build/` at
all, so the fallback moved aside is `prebuilds/darwin-<arch>` -- which is also
what makes node-pty's install script fall through from "prebuild found" to
node-gyp -- and the compile writes a `build/Release` the loader checks first.
Verification is per-platform too: Linux's leak is inheritance (/proc), macOS's is
self-held (lsof).

Also corrects the asset's claim that "macOS re-opens the tty through uv_tty_init's
cloexec dup". Measured false: FD_CLOEXEC is not set on the master. What protects
it is POSIX_SPAWN_CLOEXEC_DEFAULT, one option away from gone since uid/gid drops
libuv back to fork()/exec() -- so the master is now marked there too.

Measured on darwin-arm64, one PTY per open/close cycle in a relay-shaped dir
running the relay's own commands:

  before  cycle:ptmx  1:1 2:2 3:3 ... 10:10   (10 after a settle)
  after   cycle:ptmx  1:0 2:0 3:0 ... 10:0    (0 after a settle)

Linux re-verified in docker node:22: inherited before, isolated after,
`already-patched` on the second run.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 98e77ef1a7 feat(mobile): structured native Codex chat (#18074)
* feat(mobile): finalize structured native Codex chat

* fix(mobile): close structured chat lifecycle gaps

* wip(mobile): fence stale structured inventory and bound operation-id retention

Fence local structured-session inventory and subscription responses with a
sync generation so a toggle-off clear, reconnect restore, or retry cannot
apply a mirror from a superseded instance. Bound mobile ambiguous
operation-ID retention at 128 with unmount cleanup.

Staged on the reconcile branch only: the sync module is now 312 lines and
needs a real split before this can reach the PR head.

* fix(ci): split the structured session-tabs sync and give static analysis mobile types

The local structured session-tabs sync module outgrew the 300-line cap once it
took on generation fencing, so split it along its real seams instead of raising
the cap: the generation/cursor fence, snapshot projection, snapshot apply,
inventory refresh, and the subscription loop. The original path stays as a
barrel so no importer moves.

Repoint the host-session-mirror settle census at the apply module, which owns
two receipts now — the snapshot it mirrors in, and the toggle-off teardown that
retracts what it published. The teardown receipt is named rather than anonymous
so the pin says which direction it settles.

The changed-code quality gate lints mobile files and resolves their types from
mobile/node_modules, but mobile is a separate pnpm project that the root install
never populates, so every mobile type degraded to an `error` type and the gate
reported phantom findings. Install mobile dependencies in static analysis when
the diff touches mobile, gated on a new classifier output.

* fix(mobile): let a slow capability handshake still reach connected

The mobile capability update is an advisory whose result is discarded, yet an
unanswered one was fatal while an explicit rejection was tolerated. A 5s timeout
on the direct client force-closed the socket, and on the relay path it failed
`confirmResume` before `connected` was ever published, so a consistently slow
link redialled forever. Both paths now share one helper that settles every
ambiguous outcome (timeout, mid-flight drop) like a rejection and rejects only
when the frame never reached the wire — the one case nothing else recovers from,
since the socket's own desync force-close is gated on already being connected.
The generation guard still keeps a replaced session from connecting.

Retained structured-session operation ids were capped at 128 with oldest-first
eviction, but every retained id belongs to a send whose outcome is unknown, so
eviction turned a user's retry into a second message on the host. Bound the map
by expiry against the id's own embedded timestamp instead, mirroring the host's
operation ledger, so no id is released while the host would still honour it.

Also give the mobile CI install the root install's lockfile drift guard (mobile's
lockfile carries patchedDependencies a silent rewrite would drop), gate
mobile_dependencies on should_run, and key the pnpm store cache on both lockfiles.

* refactor(mobile): extract the relay pending-request registry

The merge composed two independently-sized changes — this branch's capability
handshake settle and main's dial-stage tracking — pushing the relay session file
to 304 lines against a 300 cap. Neither side broke it alone.

Move the in-flight request registry (id generation, tracking, settlement, and
reject-all with its delivery-ambiguity marking) into RelayPendingRequests,
matching the existing collaborator pattern alongside RelayDialStageTracker and
RpcSessionLivenessWatchdog. No behavior change.

Neil 968dbd905f perf(renderer): take the English catalog and the xterm WebGL addon off the boot graph (#18326)
* perf(renderer): take the English catalog, xterm WebGL addon and emoji data off the boot graph

The renderer's boot graph — the entry chunk plus its 331 modulepreload links,
all fetched and evaluated before first paint — carried three payloads nothing
needs at that moment.

`en.json` (644 KB) was an eager i18next resource, but every renderer string
goes through `translate(key, fallback)` and `en` resolves that inline default,
so most of the catalog was dead weight. The renderer now bundles a generated
`en-runtime-required.json` holding only the 2,583 of 13,828 entries a default
cannot reproduce: plural-suffixed keys, keys whose catalog value differs from a
call site's default, and keys no call site references with a literal default.
`en.json` stays the translator source and the input to the four lazy catalogs.

`@xterm/addon-webgl` (243.6 KB) and `emojibase-data` (170 KB) are now primed
right after the React root renders instead of statically imported. The load
stays eager and `attachWebgl` stays synchronous — it reads the resolved
constructor — so no terminal ever falls back to the DOM renderer for a frame.

`isPluginPanelTabKey`/`isQualifiedPluginKey` move to schema-free sibling
modules, re-exported from `plugin-manifest.ts`. This evicts the plugin manifest
schema graph from the boot chunk but measures ~0 KB, because six other shared
modules still put zod on the boot path.

Boot graph: 332 chunks / 5107.2 KB -> 336 chunks / 4161.5 KB (-945.7 KB, -18.5%).

A new ratchet parses the built index.html and fails if `en.json`,
`@xterm/addon-webgl` or `emojibase-data` is preloaded again; it runs at the end
of every `build:electron-vite`.

* chore(i18n): pin the generated English subset to LF and mark it generated

* fix(i18n): make the runtime-catalog gate merge-robust and prime emoji data in tests

CI builds the merge of a PR with main, so a byte-for-byte comparison against a
committed generated file fails the moment any unrelated PR adds a translate()
call — which is what happened here. The check now asserts the property that
actually matters instead of byte equality: every runtime-required entry is
shipped, and nothing shipped disagrees with en.json. Entries that stopped being
required are dead weight, never a wrong string, so they are reported and
tolerated. Failures now name the offending keys rather than saying "stale".

The generator itself was already deterministic (plain code-unit sort, no
locale collation, order-independent set construction); a test now pins that a
reversed call-site walk produces byte-identical output.

Test fixes for the catalog prune and the deferred emoji load:
- browser-search / NativeChatSupportedAgents asserted key presence on the
  renderer's runtime resource. The durable contract is en.json — the renderer
  deliberately no longer bundles entries a call site default reproduces — so
  they assert against the translator catalog.
- Four emoji tests typed a shortcode in the same tick as mount, before the
  catalog the hook primes on mount resolves. Not reachable by a human; the
  tests now await the prime.

* revert(renderer): keep the emoji shortcode catalog statically imported

Deferring emojibase-data introduced a window that did not exist before: until
the dynamic import settled, getPrimedEmojiShortcodeEntries returned [], so
exactShortcodeIndex built an empty map and replaceCompletedWorkspaceEmojiShortcode
returned null — leaving a typed `:wink:` in the field literally, and persisting
it as the workspace display name.

Pre-change the shared catalog was statically imported, so the first call at any
tick returned full data. The window is reachable by anything that dispatches
input in the same task as the field's mount effect — Playwright/CDP in the e2e
suite and agent automation both do, and the WorktreeMetaDialog test failure was
exactly that, producing 'Feature 😉' instead of 'Feature 😉'.

Nothing that resolves a shortcode can be async without that race, and a wrong
persisted name is not an acceptable trade for 166.7 KB, so the deferral is
reverted rather than papered over in the tests. The boot-graph ratchet drops
its emojibase-data probe and records why.

Boot graph: 5108.9 KB -> 4329.9 KB (-779.0 KB, -15.2%), down from -945.7 KB.

* fix(terminal): make the deferred WebGL addon load recoverable and refit on late attach

Two defects the deferral introduced, neither possible with a static import.

A failed load latched the DOM renderer for the whole session. `.then(onOk,
onError)` settles fulfilled, so the memoized promise was cached forever with a
null constructor: attachWebgl's re-prime got the cached promise back, and
resetTerminalWebglSuggestion — the documented "GPU setting changed, retry" path
— could not clear it either. The rejection path now clears the memo, latches the
queued panes the way a failed construction does so they retry at a recovery
boundary rather than every frame, and caps attempts so a genuinely missing chunk
is not re-fetched forever. The recovery boundary re-arms it.

The queued-attach drain skipped the refit. Every other late-attach path pairs
attach with a refit because the grid was measured under DOM cell metrics and
WebGL floors the device cell width. Post-deferral, openTerminal's attachWebgl
queued and returned, the initial fit rAF then measured DOM metrics and sized the
PTY from them, and the addon attached with no refit — a persistently narrow PTY
and an unpainted right gutter, not a one-frame flicker. Both paths now go
through one attachWebglAndRefit pairing so they cannot diverge again.

Regression tests cover both, and each was verified to fail without its fix.

The addon-load state machine moves to terminal-webgl-addon-loader.ts and the
viewport presentation helpers to pane-viewport-present.ts, keeping
pane-webgl-renderer.ts under the 300-line budget without a suppression.

Neil 6cd477a2f1 test(e2e): un-rot the SSH freeze repro and probe two failure modes nothing covered (#17940)
Test-only. No production code.

## The freeze repro was rotted in three ways, not one

#16764 tracks four stale call sites. There were three separate problems:

1. **Stale call sites** — `execInTerminal` gained a `ptyId` and
   `splitActiveTerminalPane` gained a direction. (`startDockerSshRelayTarget`'s
   missing `testInfo` was the third; #18257 has since landed it on main.)
2. **It connected before session restore settled**, so the seeded tab never bound
   to a remote PTY and the terminal sat on "Connecting…" forever.
3. **It could never have passed, even once.** It waited for a one-shot `READY:`
   line through a 4000-char terminal window while its own 2 KB-every-8 ms flood
   buries that line within ~16 ms. Readiness is now keyed on the repeating `BG:`
   flood marker, which is strictly stronger — it proves the pane is streaming
   rather than merely started.

It now runs end to end and prints a measurement instead of dying on a call site:

```
[freeze-repro R2] hiddenFloodMaxLagMs 2.1  bulkOpenMaxLagMs 41.5
                  interactionProbeMs 53.6  softFreeze false  hardFreeze false
```

**It is still not CI-gateable, and the exclusion comment now says so.** The same
spec on the same commit measured `bulkOpen 2575.6ms / interaction 3464.2ms` on a
GitHub ubuntu runner against a 2500 ms soft budget — a ~60x spread on the number
the budget reads, with the relay still streaming. That is the budget failing, not
the product. The earlier draft of this comment claimed "repaired and passing",
which was true only of the host it was measured on; gating this needs a
host-relative oracle, not a bigger constant.

## New: a half-open link is judged, not wedged

The fixture image has no `iptables` and the container has no `NET_ADMIN`, so
`docker pause` is used instead — a harder case, because the container's TCP stack
keeps ACKing: no FIN, no RST, and the socket looks perfectly healthy. Only an
application-level probe can detect it.

```
[half-open] {"verdict":"reconnecting","verdictMs":25135,"budgetMs":90000}
```

Nothing in the suite covered the failure mode behind the "SSH hangs until I
restart Orca" reports.

## New: resource accumulation measured on the remote host

6 terminals, then 5 reconnect cycles, counted on the container itself:

```
open:       pts 1->6 (exactly 1/terminal), relay fds 25->30 (exactly 1/terminal)
reconnect:  pts flat at 6, relay procs flat at 1, node procs flat at 3
```

`leakedMasterFdCount` is now **asserted**, not merely recorded. It counts PTY
master fds held by non-relay processes: without `FD_CLOEXEC` a master is inherited
by every later child, so terminal k adds k of them — the triangular signature
measured as 15 across 5 terminals before the fix. #17914 patched the app and
daemon and #17920 shipped the same patch to the relay host, and both are now on
main, so the correct value is 0 and the probe holds it there:

```
baseline    leakedMasterFdCount 0
6 terminals leakedMasterFdCount 0    (holders: only relay.js, n=6)
reconnects  leakedMasterFdCount 0 across all 5 cycles
```

Any growth here means the relay's node-pty rebuild did not take on that host,
which is exactly what a remote-host probe exists to catch — and it is the half of
#17914's claim that no unit test can reach.

## Routing

Both new probes are claimed by `run-ssh-docker-e2e.mjs` (a Docker-gated spec no
runner names self-skips everywhere and still reports green) **and** by the
`ssh-terminal-source` route in `pr-e2e-source-routing.mjs`, so they run when the
relay and SSH code they guard changes rather than only on a scheduled lane.

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
2026-09-02 05:36:54 -07:00
Neil f37d2fec97 fix(linux): land the reviewed Linux packaging stack on main (#18100)
* fix(linux): give the CLI one entrypoint by extracting the AppImage once

* fix(linux): accept extracted AppImage runtimes with APPDIR only

* docs(linux): make headless AppImage extraction runnable

* refactor(linux): import bundled launcher directly

* fix(linux): reclaim superseded AppImage payloads and packaged symlinks

Pruning removed 3215 of 3216 files from a superseded generation and always
stranded resources/app.asar, leaking ~105 MB per version update. Electron's
asar shim reports a *.asar file as a directory, so the recursive remove tried
to rmdir a real file and failed with ENOTEMPTY; the .catch(() => {}) hid it.
Reproduced end to end on Ubuntu 24.04: 519M -> 623M across one update, and
519M again once the payload is actually reclaimed.

removeExtractedAppImagePayload holds process.noAsar for the removal, counted
so overlapping removals cannot hand the shim back early, and the prune site
now warns with the path instead of swallowing the rejection. All three
removal sites use it -- staging cleanup and displaced roots leaked the same
way.

Also reclaim symlinks left by a packaged deb/rpm install, which the
extracted-cache-only rule turned into a hard conflict on a deb -> AppImage
migration, and name the remedy in the conflict error.

* fix(linux): bound the CLI registration lock wait

`retries: 1000` caps the attempt count, not elapsed time, so at up to 1s per
attempt an IPC-driven registration could hang ~16 minutes against a wedged
holder with no feedback.

A legitimate holder is bounded by the extraction timeout, so wait that plus
slack and then fail with a message naming the lock file, rather than hanging.
`maxRetryTime` is forwarded verbatim to the `retry` package by proper-lockfile.

* fix(linux): stop re-extracting the AppImage on inode metadata churn

The extracted-payload cache key hashed ctime alongside dev/ino/size/mtime.
ctime moves on any inode metadata write -- `chmod +x`, which every AppImage
user is told to run, plus `chown`, an ACL or SELinux relabel, and a backup
restore -- none of which alter a byte of the payload.

Measured on Ubuntu 24.04: `chmod +x` leaves dev, ino, size and mtime
identical and moves ctime alone, so the key changed and the next launch paid
a full ~519 MB re-extraction and a multi-second stall to rebuild a payload it
already had, then pruned the old generation.

Key on content identity instead. An in-place content change moves mtime and
almost always size; a replacement moves the inode. The existing
replace-in-place test still passes.

left by a crashed server. It is an endpoint published from elsewhere: a
container bind-mounting only /tmp/.X11-unix, WSLg, or a foreign PID
namespace. Declaring those dead made the desktop gate exit(1) on displays
that work, with no workaround, and the serve gate refuse to start.

Liveness now splits by ownership. A foreign DISPLAY trusts a lockless
socket; Orca's own :99 does not, because removeStaleDisplayArtifacts
unlinks the lock before the socket and so manufactures that state itself --
adopting it would resurrect the orphan-socket bug and stop the cleanup from
self-healing. The stale-lock rejection is unchanged.

Also correct four doc statements this behaviour falsified.

* fix(linux): fail closed when a stale socket blocks the Xvfb rebind

Readiness only checked that /tmp/.X11-unix/X99 exists. A stale socket we
could not unlink still exists after our own Xvfb refused to bind, so Orca set
DISPLAY to a dead server and Chromium died in Ozone init.

Measured on Ubuntu 24.04 against the pre-fix build: with a leftover :99
socket and no lock, serve exits 139 (SIGSEGV), the socket inode is unchanged
before and after, and no lock is recreated -- it neither cleaned up nor
respawned. To a user that is a crash, not a misconfiguration.

This is reachable in the documented topology, where orca-xvfb.service has no
User= and runs as root while serve runs as User=orca: /tmp is sticky, so the
orca uid cannot unlink a root-owned socket, rmSync fails, and Xvfb exits with
the display already active.

Readiness now requires the display to actually be live -- our socket plus a
lock naming a running process -- so the same state reports an unusable
display and exits 1 with the existing diagnosis.

* fix(linux): recognise abstract X sockets and inherited Wayland fds

Two display setups this gate could not prove were refused outright, and on the
desktop path that is app.exit(1) with no workaround.

An X server may bind only the abstract namespace (`@/tmp/.X11-unix/X0`), which
leaves no filesystem socket to stat. Abstract addresses are kernel-owned and
vanish the moment the owner exits, so an entry in /proc/net/unix is proof of a
live server -- no lock file needed and no stale entry possible. Verified on
Ubuntu 24.04, where 139 such addresses were present.

WAYLAND_SOCKET is an already-connected fd handed over by the compositor, so
there is no path to stat and WAYLAND_DISPLAY may be unset entirely. Its
presence is the display.

Both are consulted only after the filesystem-socket check fails, so no
existing verdict changes.

* fix(linux): never treat Orca's own display number as a foreign endpoint

Recognising a lockless X socket as live is correct for an endpoint published
from elsewhere -- a container bind mount, WSLg -- because an X server writes
its lock beside its socket and both survive a crash. It is wrong for
VIRTUAL_DISPLAY_NUMBER, because Orca's own teardown unlinks the lock before
the socket and so manufactures that exact state.

The managed branch was already strict, but a caller that sets DISPLAY=:99
explicitly takes the foreign path and skipped it, accepting a dead display
left by Orca's own interrupted cleanup. Route the managed number through the
strict probe on both paths.

Found by an adversarial audit of the asymmetry introduced earlier in this
branch; the documented systemd topology is unaffected because its Xvfb writes
a real lock.

* test(linux): assert on CLI output, not the harness's own control lines

run-cli-case.sh echoes `RESULT status=N case=<name>`, and the two cases named
*-skills asserted `expectOutput: 'skills'`. That substring was satisfied by
the case name in the harness's own line, so 2 of 8 cases asserted nothing
about the command -- gutting `skills` entirely would still have gone green.

Control lines are now excluded before matching, and both cases assert the
rendered help header, which only real help output produces. Verified on an
Ubuntu 24.04 host: 8/8 still pass against a stack-tip AppImage.

Also register the gate in reliability-gates.jsonc, which #15085 added a CI
Docker gate without. Red/green is recorded from a stock release AppImage
failing 4 of 8, three of them at status 133 (SIGTRAP).

* fix(linux): require static AppImage runtimes (#17319)

* test(linux): reject a wrong-architecture native binary at packaging time

Cross-building the arm64 slice on an x64 host silently packed an x86-64
`pty.node` -- the rebuild logged "Forcing native rebuild for linux-arm64" and
shipped the host's binary anyway. Every gate here inspects symbol versions,
which are perfectly valid on the wrong architecture, so nothing noticed.

Observed on a Raspberry Pi 5: the packaged app loaded, then failed with
"Failed to load native module: pty.node", and the launch contract reported
3 of 8 cases crashed rather than naming the cause. Swapping in the aarch64
`pty.node` took the same build to 8/8.

Compare ELF `e_machine` against the slice being packaged and fail with the
offending path. Checked before the glibc pass, because a wrong-architecture
binary's symbol versions are valid but meaningless and would send the reader
down the wrong path.

Release CI builds arm64 on a native runner, so this guards local and future
cross-builds rather than a shipped artifact.

* test(linux): judge per-arch vendored binaries against their own path

The first CI run of the architecture gate failed the x64 package job on
`@parcel/watcher-linux-arm64-glibc/watcher.node`. That binary is arm64 on
purpose: the package ships every architecture and its loader picks the match,
so its presence in an x64 build is correct.

Judge a binary against the architecture its own path names, falling back to
the slice when the path names none. That keeps the case this gate exists for
-- `bin/linux-arm64-*/node-pty.node` holding an x86-64 binary, which is what
shipped to a Raspberry Pi 5 -- while letting multi-arch dependencies through.

Dry-run over the real dependency tree flags nothing for either target arch.

* fix(linux): describe the right manual update path for deb/rpm hosts

A remote host installed from .deb or .rpm now reports
manual-service-update-required, and the guidance told the operator to
"update through the service manager that starts this server" -- which is
correct for unsupported-headless-serve but wrong for a package install,
where nothing about the remedy involves the service manager.

Say both, keyed on how the host was installed.

* docs(linux): use absolute service CLI launcher

* fix(serve): validate in-process serve options before startup (#17683)

* fix(linux): stop offering updates a distro-managed install cannot apply (#17918)

Closes #17702.

The resources/package-type marker is authoritative but never checked against
the host, so any repackager that unpacks Orca's .deb -- AUR, Nix, a container
rebuild -- inherits `deb` verbatim. Install feasibility was then computed
after a ~165 MB download, so those users got check -> download -> a card
promising an install command -> a dead end.

Validate the marker against the host: a deb/rpm marker with no matching
package manager in the trusted directories means a package manager owns this
install. This reuses the exact lists and resolver that
buildLinuxPackageInstallCommand already loops over, so a false positive is
impossible by construction -- any host flagged here would have failed with
no-package-manager after the download anyway. The gate only moves that
verdict earlier. Verified across Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04, Arch, Fedora 40 and
openSUSE Leap: no false positive on a real deb host, correct on every
repackaging host.

The release is still reported, because the user does want to know 1.4.194
exists and to update through their distro; only the download path is closed.
`externallyManaged` is an additive optional field on the existing `available`
status, so older paired clients decode it unchanged. downloadUpdate() refuses
authoritatively, since main owns this verdict rather than the card, and
unwinds any pinned-build state first -- a Linux pinned jump resolves to
'release', and stranding isPinnedBuildActive would silently kill every
background check for the rest of the process.

Note the fix the issue suggests cannot work: electron-updater builds a
PacmanUpdater whose doDownloadUpdate looks for a .pacman asset Orca does not
publish, then dereferences undefined.

Neil aa3ae6f56e fix(ssh): close the pty master fd leak on relay hosts too (#17920)
* fix(ssh): close the pty master fd leak on Linux relay hosts

The app gets the FD_CLOEXEC patch through pnpm patchedDependencies (#17914);
the relay installs stock node-pty from npm, where no pnpm patch reaches. Linux
is where that matters -- it is the only relay platform that takes forkpty()'s
no-atomic-O_CLOEXEC path, and it is also the only one that already compiles
node-pty at install time, so the fix costs a second compile rather than a first.

Ships the patch as a relay asset applied like the existing Windows console-list
one, and rebuilds only after the probe has proven node-pty loadable. The rebuild
is non-fatal by construction: the working build is moved aside first and moved
back on any failure, a failed attempt drops a skip marker so the compile is
attempted at most once per relay directory, and the caller swallows the whole
step. macOS and Windows relays never run it.

Measured on node:22 with a relay-style npm install: before, the master is
cloexec=false and shows up as `26 -> /dev/pts/ptmx` in both a later pty child
and a later child_process child; after, cloexec=true and neither child sees it.

Closes #17915.

* test(ssh): feed the cloexec patch exec to the hand-rolled namespace fixtures

These sequences are positional, so the new Linux-only patch exec swallowed the
READY slot and every install/repair case timed out waiting for the relay.

Neil 34999e328e fix(orcad): stop demanding a spawn-helper only macOS builds (#18122)
node-pty declares the spawn-helper target inside binding.gyp's OS=="mac"
block and pty.cc execs it only under __APPLE__. Asserting it on
`!== 'win32'` made every Linux orcad boot degraded with
spawn_helper_missing while its terminals worked fine.

Route all four sites through one shared `usesNodePtySpawnHelper`
predicate: the precondition verdict, the prebuilt slot install, the
+x repair, and the prebuilds build script (which threw outright on a
Linux slot build).

Neil 0dbe9d0504 test(ssh): dockerized relay fault injection with verdict assertions (#18017)
* test(ssh): add a dockerized SSH fault-injection lane with four fault shapes

The existing SSH reconnect specs all reconnect by calling ssh.disconnect() then
ssh.connect() - a clean cycle the client knows is coming. Nothing covered the
faults the reconnect machinery exists for.

Four shapes, each documented with why it is not the others: killing sshd's
per-connection forks (transport dies, relay survives), `docker pause` (silence
with TCP still established), SIGKILLing every relay.js (the only fault where
`exited` is the correct verdict), and a 48MB flood with nobody attached.

The relay-kill case is the one that makes the rest meaningful: every other case
asserts the session survived, which only means something if a genuinely dead
session is distinguishable. It is the only case where replacing the pane is
correct, so it pins the boundary in
docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md rather than just testing reconnection.

The `docker pause` case pins the other side of that boundary: after 30s of
silence from a healthy host the pane keeps its PTY and its scrollback, because
loss of contact is never evidence of death.

No network-blackhole fault: reconnecting the fixture does not restore its
published port mapping, so that fault is not reversible on this container and
would strand the worker it ran on.

* test(ssh): fixme the flood case pending #18018

It fails in CI on its first real run: the pane keeps its PTY and repaints,
but a command run after the flood produces no output within the poll budget.
Same shape as #18018 and not caused by this spec. The three verdict
assertions around it stay enforced.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 3ae51076b1 fix(tooling): run oxlint gates without a Windows .cmd shim (#17894)
* fix(tooling): run oxlint gates without a Windows .cmd shim

`check:code-quality:changed` spawned `pnpm.cmd` without a shell, which Node
refuses under the CVE-2024-27980 mitigation, so the gate died with EINVAL
before linting anything. Resolve oxlint's own Node bin and run it under this
process's node instead — no shim, no shell, no quoting question — and add a
ratchet so the idiom cannot spread back into config/scripts.

* fix(tooling): validate the react-doctor diff base and widen the shim ratchet

`base` reaches cmd.exe unquoted on the shell fallback, so reject anything
outside a git revision before spawning. The ratchet matched only a handful of
runner names, which let `vitest.cmd` through even though config/scripts already
spawns vitest, playwright and electron-builder; match any batch-shim literal
instead, walk subdirectories, and cover tests/tools.

* docs(tooling): state what the shim ratchet and diff-base check miss

Both comments read as complete accounts of their guard's coverage. The revision
class rejects reflog syntax like HEAD@{1}, deliberately, since braces have no
business in a cmd.exe-bound argument; the ratchet misses a drive-lettered
literal because a colon is not in its class. Say so beside the template-literal
ceiling already noted.
