Neil 1912c90141 Extract subprocess handling into @orca/process-host (#26963)
Extract subprocess execution and process contracts into @orca/process-host with explicit public entry points, independent checks, and one Node 18 compatible CommonJS runtime. Migrate application consumers and integrate package builds, dependency selection, import enforcement, and runtime resource staging.

Preserve daemon startup ownership and profile isolation, and qualify development rebuild recovery and concurrent output publication. Remove unnecessary aliases, test forwarding exports, and a duplicate output scan.

Validation: full typechecks, changed-code quality, package and artifact checks, native Windows builds/types plus 306 runtime tests, and independent native reviews.

Matched full E2E controls on original main and unchanged reviewed head both pass all 17 applicable tests (nine skips). Earlier intermittent E2E failures are documented in the PR; no assertions were weakened. The final combined-tree audit preserves both branches with no import-boundary violations.

* feat(orcad): stage and commit a dormant migration catalog on the managed server (#16741 T6-9)

The destination half of a catalog migration: an orcad stages a T6-7 manifest
(repositories, project groups, folder workspaces, dormant session, client,
automation and worktree metadata, retired names, scrollback snapshots) with
exclusive claims, then commits it with a receipt so a retried commit returns
the same receipt and never imports twice. Served as orcad.migration.* runtime
RPC behind the orcad.migration-catalog.v1 capability; the client refuses a
host without it or with method-not-found, and any other failure is left for
the caller to recheck. Dormant only: no live PTY projection. Inert on the
desktop until T6-10.

* feat(ssh): journal and fence an SSH host for dormant migration, gated on proven terminal exit (#16741 T8-c1+c2) (#24522)

A migration from a relay-hosted SSH target into a managed orcad now starts with
a journal in its own sidecar directory, then the target's managed-owner fence,
then a profile flush, before any remote call. A fence with no journal is
unverifiable and never released; a journal whose fence is gone is stale and
grants nothing; an unreadable journal fails closed. The fence requires every
terminal the target ever leased to be proven exited, checked before the fence
(with the relay's process list) and again under it. Same-owner claims now need
the durable record that explains them. Inert until T8-c4/T6-10.

* fix(orcad): a connected but unused SSH host previews as movable (#24609)

The untransferred-dependency census counted activeConnectionIdsAtShutdown naming the
target as workspace-session state. The renderer rewrites that list on every connection
change, so merely connecting to an empty host blocked the move. It is a reconnect hint;
the remote work it can stand for is counted on its own. The empty-target claim check
likewise ignores global-field copies inside the host's session partition.

* feat(ssh): stage, commit and abort a dormant migration against its destination (#16741 T8-c3)

The coordinator re-checks before every stage and commit that the fenced source
still exports the journaled manifest, carries no untransferable state and
started no terminal. A lost answer is re-read from the destination's catalog
state; only a committed read whose receipt matches the journal advances it,
and the journal is on disk before anything returns. Abort releases the fence
only on proof the destination holds nothing, or on an unsupported destination
before anything was staged, and never once the destination committed. Codes
against T6-9's catalog client through an injected interface. Inert until
T8-c4/T6-10.

* feat(ssh): convert an SSH host with Orca state into a managed server through a journaled migration (#16741 T8-c4)

The conversion entry resumes or takes the fence, deploys and pairs the
managed server into it, marks the server as migrated, then stages and commits
the dormant catalog. Every step is keyed by the journal, so a repeat after a
crash, deferral or lost reply resumes the same migration. Status reports an
unfinished migration, and rollback is refused while one runs or when the
rollback snapshot predates the migrated catalog. Inert until T6-10.

* feat(ssh): retire a migrated SSH host's source state only after a proven commit (#16741 T8-c5)

Once the journal records destination-committed, the source profile drops the
manifest's repositories, folder workspaces and unreferenced project groups,
its dormant session, automation, client and worktree state, and the leases
the fence proved exited. The profile flushes, the retirement is verified,
the journal moves to source-retired and compacts once the server matches.
A retry after any crash repeats idempotent work. The fenced target stays: it
carries the managed server's tunnel. Conversion now ends retired. Inert until
T6-10.

* fix(orcad): retirement drops the migrated host from the reconnect hint

The census no longer treats activeConnectionIdsAtShutdown as untransferable (#24609), so

* feat(settings): managed servers and "Move to managed server", behind an experimental setting (#16741 T6-6 + T6-10 UI)

Adds a Managed servers section under Remote servers (deploy an empty server,
status with deferred-update and migration states, update, rollback, recover,
stop and cancel-stop, and SSH access for paired servers), and a Move to managed
server action on connected macOS and Linux SSH hosts with a preflight summary,
a terminals-closed confirmation and a resumable progress view. Main wires the
conversion to the relay's process list, the direct session and the T6-9 catalog
client. Everything is hidden until the new experimental setting is turned on,
and Windows SSH hosts are never offered. Merges the T6-9 branch (#24521) until
it lands on the integration branch.

* fix(orcad): ask the relay with an absolute deadline via the W5 terminal-gate lister

The conversion wiring passed a relative 10 s as listProcesses' deadlineMs, which the
provider reads as an absolute time, so every relay inventory timed out after 1 ms and
the terminal gate could never prove exit. Adopt #24579's lister verbatim so the stacks
merge cleanly.

* feat(settings): name blocking saved state in plain, localized words

The move preview listed internal dependency ids such as workspace-session; each kind
now has its own catalog entry.

* feat(settings): offer managed servers and the move on Windows SSH hosts

W1-W5 are on the integration branch, so a Windows relay-hosted host can deploy, convert
and retire like a POSIX one. The move still waits for a connected relay that reported
its platform.

The nudge request Orca already polls may now carry an optional versioned rollout block

inactive) when the block is absent, invalid or never read. No consumer reads it yet.

visibility defaults type moves next to the other visibility types and is re-exported so its

* Phase 3: managed orcad on every SSH connect, with downgrade-safe fence (#24975, #24979)

* feat(orcad): fence managed hosts outside owner and keep converted projects for downgrades

Shipped builds hide any SSH target with an owner, so a downgrade made a converted host and its
projects vanish. The managed fence moves to a new orcadFence field (older builds keep but ignore
it), phase-3 owner fences migrate on load, and managed hosts stay visible but refuse a direct
relay. Conversion now stops at destination-committed with sourceRetainedAt; source retirement
waits on the baked-off orcad-source-retirement rollout flag. This build hides retained rows, and
a start that finds an older build changed them marks the host sourceChangedAt (relay, needs a
new move) instead of merging a second manifest.

* feat(ssh): every SSH host runs managed orcad, decided on each connect (#24979)

* feat(settings): managed servers are no longer experimental

Remove experimentalManagedServers and its gates; the Managed servers section always shows.
Loading drops a stored value, which an older build reads back as its own default (off).

* feat(ssh): every SSH host runs managed orcad, decided on each connect

Before a relay is started, the connect decides the host's server: a converted host connects
through its tunnel (retiring a retained source once orcad-source-retirement is on), an empty
host deploys orcad, and a host with Orca state converts through the journaled migration. A host
with live or unproven relay terminals keeps the relay this session and converts later. A
refusal for any other reason keeps the relay and names the blocker. A host orcad can't run on
(unsupported target, no template, native preflight, runtime self-test) releases any claim or
fence it took, records why with this app version, and keeps the pinned-relay ladder.

Progress and the decision ride an optional SshConnectionState.managedServer field (dropped by
older clients' admission). SSH Hosts shows each host's server status; the manual move dialog
is removed.

* fix(ssh): always await the connect's server decision, after the provider authority rotates

The decision now runs after the old session and transport are torn down and the authority has
rotated synchronously, so concurrent connects still join one attempt; a shutdown that began
during the decision wins over the rotation. The IPC tests use an async double, no sync branch.

* test(renderer): the IPC events store double carries its SSH connection states

* feat(orcad): move what an older build added to a converted host, or keep the server's version

A host an older build changed stays on the relay with two actions. 'Move the new projects' runs a
fresh journaled conversion of only what the host's earlier migrations didn't move: the source is
viewed with those migrations retired from it, so nothing that overlaps the server is merged, and
a row the server already holds fails the whole move at stage, before any commit. Its journal
supersedes the chain head; retained-source checks compare against its baseline, and retirement
retires every manifest in the chain only after the newest committed. 'Keep the server's version'
records the current source as the baseline and returns the host to its managed server.

* feat(ssh): offer to move a host whose open terminals keep it on the relay (#25097)

A host with any open SSH terminal never converted: the connect gate keeps the relay while relay
terminals are live, and an open tab respawns them on every connect. The first such connect per
host per app version now marks the relay status with offerMove (recorded as
managedServerMoveOffered), which toasts "Move <host> ... Its N open terminals will restart." The
SSH Hosts status line keeps a "Move to managed server" action while terminals are live.

Confirming runs ssh:moveToManagedServer: stop the host's relay terminals through the extracted
ssh:terminateSessions path, re-run the connect gate's terminal census, refuse on anything but
exited, then reconnect so the connect-time decision runs the journaled conversion.

* feat(orcad): reach managed orcad over an SSH stdio bridge where sshd refuses port forwarding (#25120)

* feat(orcad): reach managed orcad over an SSH stdio bridge where sshd refuses port forwarding

Hosts with AllowTcpForwarding no were kept on the relay. The managed tunnel now
probes forwarding each time it starts and, on refusal, serves the same local port
through a second provider: each accepted socket opens one SSH exec channel running
a small bridge on the host's pinned Node, which dials orcad's loopback port.
POSIX hosts run it with node -e; Windows hosts run it as the content-addressed
host script's stdio-bridge op with base64 line framing. Bridges are capped at 8
per connection under sshd's MaxSessions default, and a lost channel only drops its
socket. Only a host where even the bridge cannot run keeps the relay, recorded as
ssh_tunnel_unavailable; the older tcp_forwarding_refused record is retried.

* fix(ssh): keep a terminal the previous Orca version's relay still runs instead of replacing it (#25124)

After an app update the new relay answers "not found" for a PTY the previous build's relay still
runs, because the old relay refuses this build's handshake. The client read that as absence: it
expired the lease and the pane cold-restored into an empty shell while the user's shell kept
running, unreachable. Each deploy now takes a census of this target's older relay endpoints; while
one is live or unverifiable, a not-found reattach keeps the lease and the pane binding, and the
pane says the terminal is still running under the previous Orca version. A detached lease also
keeps blocking managed-server conversion until that terminal exits.

The cross-version harness now extracts src/relay, and a new test drives v1.4.218's relay socket and
grace lifecycle with this build's endpoint probe: the probe leaves no grace deadline and reads the
old relay as live work.

* feat(orcad): update a managed server on connect when it runs an older build and is idle (#25122)

* feat(orcad): update a managed server on connect when it runs an older build and is idle

A connect to a managed SSH host now runs the Managed servers update when the host's
orcad differs from this app's bundled build, the template carries the host's target,
and the update planner finds no live or uncounted terminals. A rejected candidate is
restored through the activation journal; the reason is recorded per app version so
later connects don't retry it. A host a newer Orca activated is never downgraded:
the activation record now names the app version behind each build, and an explicit
rollback holds the build it left.

* test(e2e): connect without a racing disconnect after relaunch, and report each attempt

On launch the app already reaches the managed server through its tunnel; a disconnect racing that
restore cancelled the connect that runs the update.

* feat(orcad): run the update check when the launch restores a managed server's tunnel

An auto-restored host may never see an SSH connect, so its server would never update. The tunnel
restore now runs the same check, once per server per session and off the caller's path, through
the shared update-check module; a server mid-migration is left alone.

* fix(orcad): retry the pinned Node download through transient network failures (#25154)

A Chromium network change (net::ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED) during the pinned Node
download failed the deploy and sent the host back to the relay. The archive
download now retries up to three more times, after 1s, 3s and 9s, on dropped
connections, timeouts, stalls and retryable HTTP statuses, removing the partial
file first; checksum mismatches, other HTTP errors and cancels stay final. The
transient-error classifier moves from the speech download to
src/main/network/transient-download-error.ts so both share it.

The Windows D7 job shows Electron serve exiting before its window when it relaunches
onto a terminal daemon orcad forked. Restore the win32 fallback and skip that case
there as a known gap; the follow-up PR fixes it and re-flips Windows.

* fix(serve): let ORCA_SERVE_RUNTIME=orcad opt in on Windows while Electron stays the default

* test(serve): skip the Windows D7 cases where orcad forks the daemon, and stop cleanup hiding a failed relaunch

Test 3 hits the same Windows gap as test 2: orcad forks its own daemon there, and Electron
crashes at startup beside it. A failed relaunch also made dispose close the old, already
closed app, whose throw replaced the launch error.

* test(serve): run every Windows D7 case, with the isolated home's AppData in place

Electron 43 crashes natively (0xFFFF7003) when it resolves userData and Windows cannot find
roaming AppData. The e2e home isolation points USERPROFILE at a fresh folder with no AppData,
so later launches hit that. The harness now creates it, every D7 case runs on Windows again,
and a new case proves Electron serve starts beside another profile's live orcad daemon.

* test(serve): retry removing a Windows e2e profile while a killed daemon releases it

* feat(ssh): resume a terminal the previous Orca version's relay still runs, through that relay's own bridge (#25170)

* feat(ssh): resume a terminal the previous Orca version's relay still runs, through that relay's own bridge

After an app update the previous relay keeps the user's shells alive but refuses this build's
handshake. Its own relay.js --connect, run from its own version directory, presents its own bundle
hash, so on POSIX hosts the client now reaches it that way: a pane whose reattach the current relay
held for an older relay opens a route through the old bridge, takes the PTY owner role without
output flow control, reattaches the PTY with its replay, and routes every later operation on that
id to the old relay. When the last pane a route serves exits, the route hangs up and the old relay's
own idle grace retires it. Windows hosts, relocated short sockets and unreachable bridges keep the
held-pane behaviour.

The cross-version harness now builds v1.4.218's relay from its tagged sources and runs it as the
real detached daemon: a shipped client leaves a shell in it, this build resumes the pane through the
old bridge, types into it, sees its output, and watches the old relay exit on its own after the
shell does.

* fix(orcad): a host re-upgraded after a downgrade can move what the older build added (#25179)

The delta view left the moved projects' session state in place whenever it held anything
unmovable, so it then counted against the delta. Relay PTY bindings, shutdown markers and the
relay consumer's recovery record blocked every move although the terminal gate already proves
those terminals exited before any move commits; the move now drops them instead.

* fix(worktree-ps): report a lost-contact host's terminals as unverifiable, not live:0 pty:no (#25167)

During a network drop to a relay-served SSH host, every PTY on it reads as an
unconfirmed exit, so worktree ps skipped them and printed live:0 pty:no for a
terminal that was still running. The listing now counts terminals whose liveness
verdict is unverifiable into a new optional unverifiableTerminalCount, and the CLI
prints live:unverifiable pty:unverifiable (JSON carries the same word) instead of
zero. A host-confirmed exit still reads as zero.

* fix(orcad): tunnel to the port managed orcad bound and verify it is ours (#25182)

When another Orca already listens on 6768, orcad binds a different port. The
tunnel kept forwarding to 6768, reached the other runtime, was rejected with
4001, and the connect still reported a managed server.

The tunnel now reads orcad's bound port from its active slot's readiness
(falling back to the persisted port for slots without one) and, after the
forward is up, proves the server answering is the paired runtime. On a
mismatch it re-reads the port once and fails with orcad_identity_mismatch
instead of reporting managed.

* fix(orcad): a converted host shows only its managed server's rows, and its old editor tabs load there (#25193)

Retained relay-era project groups and the per-host SSH catalog now hide like repos and folders.
On the managed transition the renderer reloads server names, groups, folders and worktrees, then
drops the host's relay-era rows a local refresh would keep. A restored tab with no host stamp in
a workspace now owned by a managed server takes that server as owner, in place.

* fix(orcad): ship the port-scan worker so managed servers detect workspace ports (#25197)

orcad resolves port-scan-command-worker-entry.js beside orcad.js, but the orcad
build never emitted it and ORCAD_ARTIFACTS never listed it, so every managed
server logged 'probe worker unavailable' and had no port detection. The build now
emits it with the other children, and the artifact list carries it, so it is
uploaded, hashed and covered by the template contract.

A new test bundles orcad and its children and fails when the bundle names a
worker or child entry the slot does not ship. Two existing gaps it found,
session-scanner-service-entry.js and wsl-transcript-fs-process-entry.js, are
listed as known and may only shrink.

* fix(ssh): keep retrying when a reconnect loses the socket before the SSH banner (#25195)

After a network outage, a port forwarder or NAT can accept the TCP
connection and then close it before the server sends its banner. ssh2
reports that as 'Connection lost before handshake' with no errno, so the
reconnect ladder classified it as permanent and published 'error' with
no retry scheduled. Treat it as recoverable on the bounded ladder only;
the initial connect keeps its narrow classifier.

* fix(orcad): the terminal gate asks the relays before treating a detached terminal as running, and retiring a host drops its relay recovery record

* fix(ssh): earlier-relay census gaps and an unanswered relay stay unverifiable; asking the terminal gate changes nothing

- the gate is read-only; the conversion and delta move retire proven detached leases themselves
- an expired lease also needs every earlier-build relay to answer before it reads as exited
- a failed, input-less or truncated census marks its older relays unverifiable, so reattach holds
- a legacy relay route closes only when no attach or listing still awaits it

* fix(migration): recover interrupted conversions and delta moves, and trim dead migration code (#25226)

* refactor(migration): drop the unused full dependency census

* refactor(migration): one table for the routed UI fields a migration carries

* refactor(migration): share the session focus field list and fix stale claim comments

* fix(session): keep a fenced SSH host's source session partition intact through renderer saves

The renderer cannot see a fenced host's repos or folders, so hydration drops their
worktree rows; a save that still routes any row to ssh:<target> (a folder workspace
key stays valid) rewrote that partition without them. That changes the migration's
source manifest and loses the session a downgraded build reads back. Main now
ignores renderer writes to a fenced, unchanged host's partition.

* fix(migration): resume or back out unfinished conversions and delta moves, serialize delta moves, clean stale journals

- On connect, a registered server whose conversion never committed resumes the commit; a failure aborts it through the destination, unregisters the server and releases the fence.
- An interrupted delta move keeps its journal and gets its changed mark back; the next move resumes it from the journaled manifest or aborts it when the source has moved on.
- Delta moves run under the target lifecycle queue and re-check the head, so two concurrent moves cannot write two journal heads.
- Delta checks re-read the live source instead of a frozen copy.
- Stale journals from a stopped or never-registered server are cleared.
- Retiring a chain goes newest first and compacts only at the end.
- The journal schema tolerates fields a newer build adds.

* fix(migration): hide source rows only after commit, and retire what an older build added to a moved project

- Source rows and the renderer session guard share one rule: hidden once the server committed, shown while a migration is still in flight.
- A delta move a crash interrupted gets its changed mark back on the next start.
- Retirement removes worktree metadata and automations by moved-project scope, so an older build's additions no longer fail the leftover check forever; that check ignores rows of other migrations in the chain.

* fix(orcad): survive a slow first daemon start and close review gaps (#25213)

- Give the terminal daemon 30 s to start on Windows and retry the spawn once before
  falling back, so a cold first deploy is not refused as daemonless.
- Say in the activation refusal that orcad.log holds the daemon's error and that the
  next connect retries.
- Managed stop completion now waits out daemon retirement plus the shutdown deadline.
- Publish the instance lock atomically and reclaim an abandoned torn lock.
- Fix the stop listener closing before it was defined on an already-present request.
- `orca serve`'s cache prune keeps the slot a running local orcad uses.
- A timed-out daemon retirement reopens admission once it is refused; a retirement that
  may have reached the daemon stays fenced.
- A headless host keeps an editor tab's unsaved draft unless the close is forced.
- Unverifiable terminals are attributed by the host's PTY record, like live ones.
- An explicit --user-data-dir is no longer overridden on Windows.
- Read Windows daemon process identity from the process table, not PowerShell.
- Remove the unread data-event incarnationId and daemon health runtime fields, share
  one process-alive and error-code check, and fold the websocket limits file back.

* fix(ssh): Move to managed server converts the host it is offered for (#25196)

The move stops the relay terminals and passes the terminal census; with #25179 the conversion no
longer refuses on the stopped terminal's saved tab, layout leaf and pane incarnation. A new test
drives one live relay terminal through Move to a conversion whose manifest carries the tab without
its relay PTY, so it spawns a fresh shell on orcad.

ssh:terminateSessions also no longer records a not-found shutdown as terminated while an older
Orca build's relay may still run the PTY (#25124): that terminal is reported unverifiable and its
lease kept, so the move refuses instead of converting over a running shell.

* fix(orcad): deploy the glibc 2.17 runtime on old-glibc hosts, and fall back to the pinned relay (#25180)

* fix(orcad): deploy the glibc 2.17 runtime on old-glibc hosts, and fall back to the pinned relay

Managed orcad picked its runtime from the host's libc flavour alone, so a CentOS 7 host
(glibc 2.17) got the default linux-x64-glibc Node, whose self-test fails there. The deploy
now picks the runtime by glibc the same way the relay ladder picks rung A or B, and the
host-side slot checks accept the compat target it ships.

When orcad still can't run, the host is recorded as such and the relay connect that
follows now runs the pinned-runtime ladder instead of defaulting to the host-Node relay,
so a host with no Node lands on rung B rather than failing.

The hostile-host lane deploys managed orcad on a fresh CentOS 7 host and asserts it runs on
the compat runtime with no default runtime uploaded.

* test(ssh): CentOS 7 cell asserts the compat runtime pick, then the refusal and relay rung B fallback

The compat template still ships the base @parcel/watcher binary, which needs GLIBCXX_3.4.20; CentOS 7's
libstdc++ stops at 3.4.19, so the candidate's preflight refuses. The cell now pins that end-to-end
behaviour: compat runtime picked and uploaded alone, refusal classified native_preflight, and the relay
that follows settles on rung B with no runtime setting.

* feat(orcad): managed orcad idles out after 15 minutes and is started again whenever it is down (#25121)

* feat(orcad): a managed orcad stops after 15 idle minutes and starts again on the next connect

A client-launched orcad now exits, like the relay, once no client, terminal,
working agent, staged migration or activation fence has been seen for 15
minutes. The exit is the normal graceful shutdown, which leaves the terminal
daemon running; the daemon retires only if it proves itself empty. A record in
the data root tells the next start (and its readiness health) that the stop
was an idle one rather than a crash.

On connect and after host resume, a fresh tunnel whose server does not answer
starts the activated slot under the activation fence, but only on a proven
exit, so a stopped server reads as not running rather than a failure.

* fix(orcad): keep orcad-entry under max-lines; idle e2e connects without a relay repo

* fix(orcad): deploy and rollback launches carry the managed idle-exit fence

The candidate launch in activation and the rollback launch built their
own launch spec without the activation root, so a freshly deployed orcad
never enabled idle exit; only the wake path did. The field is now required
on every launch spec, so the type system covers each launch site.

* feat(ssh): start a stopped managed orcad on connect, on restore and after resume

Once orcad stopped (idle, kill or host reboot), a connect still resolved
managed over a forward to a dead port and every call failed. Every connect
now checks the server behind its tunnel, as does a call through a restored
environment; a server proven stopped is started from its activated slot
under the activation fence, adopting a surviving daemon and its terminals.
The status line shows the start, and a start that fails keeps the host
managed with the reason and orcad.log's tail, never as a terminal verdict.

* fix(ssh): reuse a serving verdict only on the same SSH transport, for 5s

A reconnect right after a reboot was answered from the previous
transport's cached verdict, so the stopped server was never started.

* fix(ssh): key the serving verdict on the tunnel's remote port too

* test(ssh): a stopped server starts before the update counts its terminals

* feat(ssh): check serving at the bound port, and follow a restarted orcad to a new one

The serving check uses the port the tunnel forwards to (the one orcad bound).
A restart that binds a different port drops the forward and rebuilds it at
the new port, within the same ensure or on the explicit connect check. The
tunnel manager class moves to its own file to stay under max-lines.

An accepting relay whose holders or children the probe could not read (no lsof, an unrecognised

converted. The relay's own bridge answers pty.listProcesses without the owner role.

* fix(ssh): the host relay census runs each relay's probe and bridge on the runtime it runs on

Pinned-ladder hosts often have no Node on PATH, so a PATH Node read every relay as unverifiable.

* feat(orcad): build @parcel/watcher into the glibc 2.17 compat slot, so CentOS 7 runs managed orcad (#25199)

The compat target swapped in only node-pty, so it shipped the base target's upstream
watcher.node, which needs GLIBCXX_3.4.20; CentOS 7 stops at 3.4.19. orcad's preflight
refused it, and relay rung B lost file watching without saying so.

The compat slot now compiles @parcel/watcher from the package's own sources against the
pinned headers with the C++ runtime static, like node-pty. The slot gates (glibc 2.17
symbol floor, no shared libstdc++, N-API 8) and the smoke load cover it, the template
stages it into the compat target, and both orcad and relay rung B pick it up from there.

COMPAT_SLOT_ADDONS names a compat slot's own addons: a compat slot missing one fails
--require-slots, and a compat template target that would ship any native file without a
compat build fails the template build. The CentOS 7 cell expects an activated managed
server again, and every launched relay cell loads its watcher directly.

A worktree terminal close returned as soon as the relay confirmed the stop, but the

verdict read straight after saw a still-connected PTY and answered unverifiable. The
stop now waits, bounded by its deadline or 10 s, for that record.

The bundled runtime's PTY probe gives the first Windows spawn 15 s and retries once
after a timeout only; spawn errors and non-zero exits still fail at once.

* fix(ssh): keep a newer build's fence and note fields, and validate a fence beside a legacy owner

Normalization now validates known fields but passes unknown ones through on orcadFence and the managed-server notes. A legacy managed owner next to a malformed fence falls back to the owner's environment id instead of keeping the malformed fence.

* fix(migration): delete a retired migration's scrollback files once retirement is durable

Retirement dropped the moved terminals' scrollback refs from session state but kept the files forever. After the journal records source-retired, the files the manifest names are deleted, except refs any session partition or pending export still names. A crash before the delete repeats it on the next retirement pass.

* fix(orcad): a committed migration reads as committed from its receipt, survives receipt eviction, and abandoned stages expire

- Committed-state reads trusted only a byte-identical copy of every moved row and snapshot, so a live server that had been used could never confirm its own commit. The receipt alone now proves it; full equality stays inside the commit.
- A receipt that ages out of the 64-entry list keeps a compact record, so the commit never reads as absent.
- A stage no client returns to within a week stops holding the server awake and is dropped at the next stage.

* fix(migration): freeze a host's session from the fence on, ignore UI churn in the frozen-source check, and cache parsed journals

- Renderer writes to a fenced host's ssh: partition are skipped from fence time, not only after commit, so tab work mid-conversion cannot change the source.
- The frozen-source check leaves out workspace session and client routing state, which the UI rewrites as the user works (including through the local partition and UI state); the server gets them as journaled.
- Parsed journals are cached per directory, keyed by each file's inode, size and mtime and dropped on every write and remove, so list and session calls stop re-parsing every manifest.

* fix(ssh): an older relay a census cannot rule out stays held, and a reconnect resumes held PTYs through it (#25331)

- A census that does not know the host platform is unverifiable, never "no older relay". On Windows
  it now probes each older version directory's pipe for the target, the way relay GC does, so a
  live older Windows relay keeps its PTYs held instead of respawning their panes; those endpoints
  are held, never bridged.
- On reconnect, a PTY the current relay disowned while an older relay holds it is reattached through
  that relay's own bridge, with its runtime restored and its replay forwarded. When no route serves
  it, it is left for recovery like an exhausted reattach.
- A superseded or disposed deploy no longer starts the census, so it cannot replace the current
  attempt's.
- A route stops holding an unserved PTY that exits.
- Drop the unused censusPreviousRelays export.

* fix(phase3): round-2 ui-infra review fixes (#25325)

- An unverifiable move refusal with no count says so instead of "0 terminals".
- One move per host: the dialog stays mounted while open, joins a run already
  in flight on remount, and the toast shares the same guard.
- A managed server's start, wake or update no longer reloads every host's
  catalog; only a new environment for the host loads, scoped to that host
  and the local catalog.
- A failed host-partition session write is no longer acknowledged as written,
  so the writer re-queues those fields.
- The deploy picker lists only hosts with no managed server or pending move.
- Harness: orcad and the released relay daemon are stopped when startup fails.
- Windows host CI: the convert cell always runs last and fails on a failed
  native switch or build; ssh-host-server unit tests no longer trigger it.

* fix(ssh): fail fast on a held fence, restore untouched rollbacks, atomic Windows host script, honest tunnel ensure (#25332)

* fix(ssh): fail fast on a held activation fence, restore a rollback the target never touched, stage the Windows host script atomically

- withOrcadActivationLock no longer waits up to 15 minutes inside the target lifecycle: a held
  fence answers at once (orcad_activation_recovery_required); deploy probes it before uploading.
- A rejected rollback target that left the restored snapshot untouched puts the newer build back
  unasked; only a real change waits for the operator. Crash recovery applies the same rule.
- The Windows host script is written only when missing, through a partial file and a rename; a
  bridge exit without a sentinel is unverifiable unless the shell could not find the command.
- The managed tunnel's ensure() throws when superseded, and a caller arriving after close()
  builds a fresh run instead of joining the doomed one.
- An unparseable stop answer after a stop was sent keeps the fence (new 'unconfirmed' outcome).
- stopRemote starts over instead of reporting live when another run settled the journal.
- Releasing an unreachable setup stops the orcad it activated and clears active on proven exit.
- A failed startup is torn down quietly so its error stays published; port-forward listeners
  keep an error handler; a linked SSH access connect is cancelled when its window closes.
- Shared errorMessage, one SFTP transfer helper, getConnectGeneration only, test-cell names.

* fix(ssh): stage the Windows host script through the pinned node.exe, which cmd.exe and PowerShell both run

* fix(ssh): host-script staging runs as host-script ops; a joiner of an overtaken tunnel run builds its own

- The presence check and the install are ops in the uploaded host script (script-present, and
  script-install run from the partial upload itself), invoked as node.exe <script> <op> <args>
  like every other Windows host op: no inline code.
- ensure() callers that joined an in-flight run no longer inherit its 'superseded' end; they
  start a fresh run, which also covers a close() in between.

* fix(ssh): a connect re-checks unverifiable relay terminals once its relay session can answer (#25385)

The server decision runs before any relay session exists, so a terminal this desktop left
detached could never be asked about and read unverifiable for as long as it ran. On Windows no
endpoint census can fill that gap. Once the session is up, the relay that holds the PTY answers
and a terminal it still runs is reported live.

- The shutdown trigger reports whether it took ownership; an idle stop that another source
  took over discards its clean-idle record.

* fix(ssh): edit a managed host's connection, show rows no migration owns, drop the unused quit-drain predicate (#25403)

- SSH settings may edit a managed host's connection fields; its fence and generation are never written from the renderer, and its tunnel is closed so the next use redials. Removing it is refused with a pointer to Stop under Managed servers, which stops and removes the server; the renderer no longer ends the host's terminals before that refusal.
- A fenced host with no journal (an empty host's deploy, or one whose journal compacted after retirement) no longer hides its rows: no committed move owns them, so projects an older build added stay visible. An unreadable journal still hides them.
- The quit drain's mayDetach predicate and disconnectAll's filter had no production caller and are removed.

* fix(ssh): a stopped managed server stops showing on its SSH host without a reconnect

On unlink, forget the host's managed-server decision and republish its connection state. The
republish also drops the host's cached worktree scans, so worktree.ps stops naming the removed
server.

* fix(runtime-environments): a removed server's workspace session partition goes with it

Host-scoped listings enumerate session partitions as known hosts, so worktree ps kept naming a

drops its runtime:<id> partition.

* test: give the removal-storage fake store casts their SAFETY rationale

* fix(runtime-environments): drop orphaned runtime workspace sessions at startup

A crash between unlinking a server and dropping its session, or a build that unlinked before the

runtime sessions whose server is not in the environment store; it never touches local or ssh
sessions, and skips entirely when that store is missing or unreadable.

* fix(ssh): a connect whose relays prove its leases ended retires them, so the next connect converts (#25405)

Every connect decides before a relay session exists, so a detached or expired lease reads
unverifiable there. The post-session re-check proved such leases ended but left them in place, so
the host stayed unverifiable on every connect and each respawned pane added another lease.

* ci(ssh-windows): check out preload and renderer for the orcad-convert e2e build

Main's #25359 narrowed this workflow's checkout to the server and test trees. Phase 3's
orcad-convert cell builds the full e2e app with electron-vite, which also needs src/preload
and src/renderer, so the x64 inbox cell failed with UNRESOLVED_ENTRY.

* test(orcad): model a really converted host in the v1.4.218 downgrade wire test

#25403 shows a fenced host's rows when no migration journal explains the fence. The downgrade
test fenced the host without a journal, so this build showed the retained project it is meant
to hide. Write the destination-committed cutover journal a real conversion leaves.

* fix(ssh): a briefly held fence waits and is retried, not recorded as a failed update; terminate keeps held leases (#25420)

- The activation fence is retried for a few seconds. A fence still held answers
  orcad_activation_fence_busy (a waiting deferral, never an update failure) unless a journal or
  a lock past its stale age shows an interrupted run, which stays recovery-required.
- acquireInstallLock reports Busy only when a holder answered; a lock command that only ever
  failed surfaces its own error.
- Terminate detaches instead of disposing when any PTY was unverifiable, so the final teardown
  never bulk-marks a lease an older relay may hold as terminated.
- A wake whose connection dropped while holding the fence releases that fence on this client's
  next wake (no journal, slot proven exited), so a relaunch-then-connect is not left fenced.
- The orcad e2e reconnect helper surfaces a connect's error text instead of a JSON parse error.

An interrupted acquire can leave the root without a lock; the client already treats that as
unfenced, and managed orcad now does too instead of never idling out.

* fix(ssh): main refuses a managed server host's removal before ending its terminals (#25465)

The remove flow skipped ending terminals for a managed host only when the renderer's cached target list already showed the fence, so a fence that landed after the list loaded still lost the host's terminals before main refused the removal. The removal's terminate call now carries forRemoval, and main refuses it for a managed host with the Stop… message before touching anything; the renderer no longer decides.

* fix(terminal): a workspace close counts an SSH terminal's confirmed exit as stopped

The close's verdict treated any SSH terminal whose record was still present as
unconfirmed, even when that record held a host-confirmed exit. SSH records outlive
their exit, so every successful close of a relay terminal answered unverifiable.
Also, a relay reattach that finishes registering after the stop no longer revives an
incarnation whose exit is already recorded.

orca environment update/rollback/recover/stop/cancel-stop waited the 60 s RPC default while the

kept going. They now wait 20 minutes, and a timeout says the action may still be running and points
at `orca environment status` instead of reporting failure. status keeps the default.

The retained managed-server state now clamps serving.detail to the same byte limit as its sibling

* fix(ssh): Move to managed server survives a relay that hangs up on its last terminal exit (#25487)

BUG-15: with two live terminals, one served through an older build's relay, Move failed with
"Failed to terminate SSH host sessions: …: Multiplexer disposed" although both shells died. The
old relay reports the exit before the shutdown reply; that exit closes the route (its last served
PTY), and the disposed mux rejected the shutdown still awaiting its reply.

- The legacy relay route settles a shutdown whose PTY exit it already observed.
- Move no longer aborts on a failed stop: the terminal census (what the conversion trusts) decides.
  Exited closes the relay session and converts; live or unverifiable refuses and republishes the
  relay status, so the stale terminal count is replaced.
- The move dialog offers Try again after a refusal or failure.

* fix(ssh): closing a terminal a previous Orca relay runs stops it there and confirms the exit (#25471)

A stop on a PTY an older relay runs reached the current relay whenever no route served it at that
moment (after a reconnect with the pane unmounted, or a shell no pane ever resumed), and the current
relay answers a stop for an id it never minted as done, so the PTY read stopped while its shell
kept running. A stop on a served PTY failed instead: its exit arrived before the stop's reply,
closing the route under the pending request.

- A served PTY stops on its route; a PTY no route serves is stopped through a short-lived route to
  the older relay that lists it, which hangs up once that PTY exits.
- When an older relay may hold the PTY but cannot be asked (incomplete census, Windows pipe, a
  bridge that will not open), or its bridge drops mid-stop, the stop is unverifiable, never reported
  done; terminate keeps the lease.
- A route stays open until its in-flight requests settle.
- The provider's exit stream includes the exits older relays report, so a stop observes the PTY it
  stopped exit on the relay that ran it.

The cross-version harness runs what terminal close --all runs per PTY against a real v1.4.218 relay,
for a pane resumed this connection and for a shell no pane resumed, and sees the old shell exit there
and the old relay retire on its own grace.

* fix(ssh): a live run's journal reads busy, a wake releases only its own fence, a cancelled re-check never reports connected

- A held fence asks for Recover only when its lock is stale or a journal has no fence over it;
  a journal under a fresh fence is a run still working and reads orcad_activation_fence_busy.
- A wake writes an owner token into the fence it takes and later releases only a fence carrying
  that token; observing the fence gone forgets it.
- The connect re-checks ownership after the relay-terminal re-check, and the re-check itself
  neither records a decision nor retires leases for a cancelled attempt.

The launch-time restore's tunnel run connects over SSH; a disconnect then cancels that connect.
An explicit connect that had joined the run inherited its SshConnectAttemptCancelledError and

anew after any end of the joined run except an auth failure, which it shares rather than prompt again.

* fix(migration): keep each host's state its own, count only saved commits, and never wedge connect on a partial session (#25516)

* fix(migration): a host-qualified owner key belongs only to its own host

Owner matching stripped a key's host qualifier before matching its repo id, so converting host A claimed, moved and on retirement removed host B's session state when the two hosts share a repo id, and destination-qualified focus written by retarget read as leftover source state, failing retirement with orcad_migration_source_ui_routing_reappeared. A qualified key now matches only its own host, and an unqualified key in another host's session partition belongs to that host.

* fix(migration): a partially written session partition never wedges connect, and a marker two partitions agree on stops blocking the move

Real-host BUG-14: the renderer's per-host snapshot leaves out maps a host has no rows in, and main stored host partitions exactly as sent, so a runtime partition lacked tabsByWorktree and the dormant-state collector threw on every connect. Main now fills the required maps on every host-partition write, the migration collectors tolerate a partition persisted without them, and an unreadable session blocks the move instead of failing connect.

The same profile's workspace-session blocker was a false positive: the local and host partitions both carried defaultTerminalTabsApplied for the moved worktree with the same value, and the fragment merge refused any shared worktree key. It now refuses only when the partitions disagree.

* fix(migration): only a flushed commit acknowledgement moves a migration to committed

A committed state read may come from a receipt the server holds in memory but failed to flush. A retry took that read as proof, journaled destination-committed and went on to retire the source, so a later server restart could lose the catalog on both sides. A committed read in stage and in abort is now confirmed through the idempotent commit(), which flushes before it answers; a failure leaves the journal and the fence where they were.

* fix(ssh): relay shells no lease here knows count as live, Move stops them, and Windows asks every relay pipe (#25518)

* fix(ssh): a relay shell no lease here knows counts as live, and terminate stops it

A CLI-created terminal has no lease, so with an attached lease the gate answered from leases alone,
a live decision was never re-counted once the relay could answer, and terminate stopped only the
shells it held leases or panes for. The relay's own listing is the authority on what runs.

* fix(ssh): a Windows connect asks every relay version's pipe for its PTYs before converting

Windows pipes cannot be listed, so the connect-time census answered 'unenumerable' and a shell no
lease here knew let the host convert under it. Each version directory's pipe for this target is
derived from its path, so the census probes them all, current included, and asks a live one
through its own bridge; a live pipe it cannot ask is unverifiable.

* fix(ssh): the terminal gate counts what earlier relays still run, leased or not

After an app update a shell a respawn superseded on its tab keeps running on the previous relay
with no live lease here, so a decision counted only the leased shells and Move could not see it.

* fix(ssh): a Windows relay folder with a live pipe it cannot ask stays unverifiable

Each pipe is probed and asked on its own, so one that answered with no PTYs can no longer stand in
for a live sibling the census could not reach.

* fix(ssh): terminate also stops shells only an earlier relay lists

provider.shutdown routes a held id to the older relay that runs it, so the terminate set now takes
listPreviousRelayPtyIds too; one it cannot reach is reported unverifiable as before.

Stopping the terminals closes the relay session, so a move the census refused (another desktop's
terminals, or an older relay it can't rule out) left the host and its workspaces disconnected
until a manual Connect. The refusal now reconnects the host; the connect-time decision reads the
same census and keeps the relay. A reconnect that converts after all reports the move; a
reconnect that fails still reports the refusal.

* fix(orcad): a retained source whose drafts or settings an older build changed is never hidden as unchanged or retired

The retained-source fingerprint covered only repo, folder and group identity, so an unsaved draft
edited on an older build read unchanged: the host kept serving the server's older draft and
retirement deleted the newer one. Retention now also records a versioned fingerprint of the source's
drafts and user-authored names and settings; a mismatch marks the host changed, and a journal
without one is never retired automatically.

* fix(ssh): a rollback restores the older snapshot only behind orcad's terminal barrier (#25551)

The rollback's census is taken while orcad still admits work, so a terminal or automation that
starts before the stop had its state wiped while its PTY survived. The incumbent is now stopped
through its managed stop with idle-daemon retirement: orcad closes terminal admission on every
daemon generation, counts live sessions under that fence, and retires the daemon only when none
exist. Only 'retired' lets the older snapshot replace state; live, unverifiable or a missing
answer refuses and relaunches the incumbent on its untouched state. A build without managed stop
is refused before anything changes.

* fix(ssh): a failed managed setup leaves 'connecting', an edited managed host redials, an idled-out server starts before its census

- doConnect publishes the error and clears the 'setting up' status when the managed-server
  decision throws for a still-current attempt; a cancelled one still reports cancellation.
- Editing a managed host's connection fields closes its tunnel and disconnects its transport,
  serialized with the target's lifecycle, so the next use dials the edited target.
- The terminal census starts a server that idled out behind a forward still up, so Stop, Update,
  Rollback and status no longer refuse with 'census unavailable' on every retry.

* fix(ssh): a fenced failed setup publishes its cause, never-launched slots are collectable, a reused PID is not orcad

- doConnect publishes the relay decision's setup failure (and clears 'setting up') when a failed
  managed setup kept the host fenced, instead of throwing a bare 'serves a managed server'.
- The liveness probe answers NEVER_LAUNCHED for a slot with no process record and no readiness
  file; GC removes such a slot, and every other reader still reads it as UNKNOWN.
- On POSIX a PID whose command line does not run the slot's orcad.js reads DEAD, so a stopped
  orcad behind a reused PID is woken instead of reported serving or unverifiable.

* fix(ssh): a legacy relay route a new pane started serving stays open when a pending stop settles (#25542)

A served PTY's exit that lands before its stop's reply defers the route's hang-up until the stop
settles. A second pane the same older relay holds could start serving through the route in that
window, and the deferred hang-up then closed it anyway, sending that pane's input and stops to the
current relay. Serving a pane now cancels the deferred hang-up, and a settling request hangs up only

* fix(migration): a repo id two hosts share never lets legacy keys cross hosts, and a dangling identity alias stops blocking the move (#25558)

- Repo ids are not unique across hosts: the same id may be registered on two SSH hosts. Stores that are not session partitions (worktree metadata, automations, lineage, client state, sparse presets, retired names) can hold legacy keys with no host qualifier, so an id both hosts register said nothing about whose a key was. The scope now records such shared ids; an unqualified key or bare repo id for one only matches with its row's own host evidence (worktree metadata's hostId, an automation's ssh target), so another host's rows are never moved, counted or retired. An automation's target generation now matches only alongside its target id.
- An identity alias whose identities hold no metadata (worktreeMetaByIdentity lost them, as on the B4 profile) is nothing to move rather than a worktree-metadata blocker; retirement drops it.

* feat(cli): orca environment recover --accept-changed-state --yes restores over changed state (#25597)

Recover refused when a rejected build changed profile state, and its refusal told the user to run
Recover, which the CLI could not do. --accept-changed-state (confirmed with --yes) maps to the same
acceptChangedState the Managed servers settings pass, and the refusal now names the flags.

* fix(orcad): refuse an update that would end a degraded host's in-process terminals (#25598)

The census now reports inProcessSessions separately. Those terminals run inside orcad and
end with any restart, so planOrcadUpdate defers with a non-forceable
orcad_update_ends_in_process_terminals instead of claiming they survive on the daemon.

* fix(migration): a delta move protects what it imported from rolling back across it (#25599)

A delta move never advanced the server's migration mark, so rolling back an update taken before the delta was admitted and dropped the delta's projects. The delta now records the mark before any commit can land, resumed commits included; the mark keeps the latest migration and never moves back; and the rollback gate also counts every journal into the server, so deltas finished before this change stay protected.

* fix(ssh): a missing relay inventory never proves terminals exited, and the Windows census covers every desktop's relays (#25611)

- The migration terminal gate returned `exited` whenever this desktop held no unresolved lease, even
  when the current relay or the earlier relays could not be asked. A failed or incomplete inventory
  is now `unverifiable` regardless of local leases. With no relay session at all the gate asks for a
  host census (`needsHostCensus`) instead of reading the silence as exit; the connect, conversion and
  delta move pass that census in, and the connect hands its own census result to the conversion it
  starts. A census that cannot list endpoints (`unenumerable`) is unverifiable too.
- The Windows connect-time census derived pipe names from this desktop's target id only, so another
  desktop's relay on the same account was never probed. It now lists every `orca-relay-*` pipe on
  the machine and maps each to the relay instance that owns it through that instance's credential
  file or active-pipe marker, asking each with its own credential. A pipe no version directory
  accounts for is unverifiable unless the host proves it another account's (or gone), and an
  inventory that could not be read is unverifiable.

* fix(ssh): a connect still deciding its server holds the raw 'connected', closes a transport its cancelled decision opened, and an edit keeps a relay host's session (#25641)

- handleSshConnectionStateChange holds a raw 'connected' while a connect is in flight even before
  any relay session exists (published as 'connecting'), so the census, deploy or conversion that
  dials the pool no longer reports the host up with no providers.
- priorConnection is captured before the server decision; a connect cancelled after the decision
  closes a transport the decision opened, unless a newer connect is using it.
- Editing a fenced host an older build changed (it runs on the relay directly) no longer
  disconnects its transport; only a host reached through its managed server redials.

* fix(orcad): a retained source is unchanged only against a pre-commit baseline of everything a user wrote (#25602)

The state fingerprint read drafts, automations and workspace metadata from what a move could
carry, so a session a move refuses hid an older build's draft edit, and retention hashed the source
after the commit, so a crash before retention blessed whatever an older build changed in between.
The baseline is now written with the fence, before any commit is possible, from the source read
directly; a session that cannot be read, or a journal without that baseline, is unverified.

* fix(orcad): a delta move refuses a source that changed while it checked terminals (#25691)

The plan and manifest are taken before the terminal check and session release are awaited, but the
journal took its baseline after them, so a draft typed in between became the baseline while the
server received the older one, and retirement deleted the newer draft. The baseline now comes from
the plan's own snapshot, and a source that changed since it refuses the move.

Retirement removed the source rows, then awaited the profile flush, then checked nothing came back. A session save that landed during that flush re-added a source-owned row, the check failed, and the journal stayed committed until a later connect. Retirement is idempotent, so it now runs one more pass before deferring; a row back after that is reported with the partition and owner key it reappeared under.

* fix(automations): a headless run never reads completed when its agent never ran (#25700)

* fix(automations): a headless run never reads completed when its agent never ran

orcad (and Electron serve) finished a dispatched run on a satisfied
tui-idle wait, and a ready shell prompt satisfies it: a run whose agent is
not installed read 'completed' within seconds. Like the desktop runner,
completion now needs the agent's own status for the run's pane after
dispatch; without it the run fails after the agent-start window with the
reason, instead of claiming completion.

* fix(automations): keep idle-means-done for agents without status; fail only a refused command

Not every automation agent reports status on orcad (no hooks on the host, no
recognised title), so requiring it would fail their runs. A run completes on
the agent's own status, fails when the shell refused the agent's command
(bash, zsh, dash, fish, PowerShell, cmd), and otherwise keeps the old
idle-means-done rule after the agent-start window.

* fix(migration): the retained-source fingerprint sees all worktree metadata retirement owns (#25694)

* fix(migration): the retained-source fingerprint sees all worktree metadata retirement owns

The state view read only legacy worktreeMeta keys and attributed them without meta.hostId, so
identity-backed metadata and unqualified rows a shared repository id leaves to hostId were missing
from the fingerprint: an older build's edit read as unchanged and retirement deleted it. The view
now uses the same attribution as export and retirement, and metadata that claims the source host
but cannot be attributed leaves the source unverified. The fingerprint version moves to v2.

* fix(migration): the retained-source fingerprint skips automations on a repo id another host shares

The state view matched automations by scope.repoIds, which ignores sharedRepoIds, so host A's
fingerprint included host B's automation on a shared repository id; editing it marked A changed and
routed it back to the relay. The view now uses the move's automationTouchesScope.

* fix(orcad): a failed readiness read no longer kills a healthy candidate; log unsettled activations (BUG-17a) (#25701)

* fix(orcad): a failed readiness read no longer fails a candidate's launch, and log every unsettled activation

BUG-17: the candidate went ready and the client SIGTERMed it ~1 s later through its reject path,
yet that readiness passes the gate, so the launch itself failed: one readiness-wait exec that
errored failed the launch outright. Retry such reads until the readiness deadline; an
unconfirmed termination still fails at once. The update's outcome never reached the app log,
so every update or rollback that does not go through now logs its code and reason.

* fix(orcad): the host-side readiness wait ends on a wall-clock deadline

On a loaded host each poll's reads outlasted its sleep, so the step-counted loop ran past
the client's 30 s exec timeout. That timeout failed the launch, the reject path SIGTERMed a
candidate still starting, and orcad, which defers a stop until startup completes, published
readiness and then exited (BUG-17).

* fix(migration): stop a converted host's stale tabs landing in local, and retry retirement only on an exact replay (#25712)

* fix(migration): retirement re-removes only an exact replay of moved session state

#25692's second pass re-ran retirement on any row that reappeared during the flush, which could delete a tab or draft written after the move. Retirement now records the session rows it removes before it runs; a row that reappears is removed again only when it is byte-identical to one of those (in any partition). A new or changed row defers retirement and stays.

* fix(ssh): a converted host's leftover session rows stay in its own partition, never local

After conversion the renderer drops the SSH host's projects and worktrees but keeps their session rows. With no catalog owner left, the next save routed those rows to the local partition, where retirement read them as moved source state reappearing and deferred. Converting now pins each dropped worktree's session key to the host's partition; main's fence guard keeps that partition frozen, so the stale rows are never written.

* fix(orcad): a retained activation fence is ownerless, so recovery can always take it over

BUG-17: a recovery that took a stale fence over, failed and retained it left a fresh lock, so
every later recovery read it as still fresh and the host could never be recovered. A run that
keeps the fence once it is done now backdates the lock; one whose remote command may still be
running keeps it fresh.

Also run the in-process terminal deferral before the forced protocol check, so a degraded host
whose daemon is empty names its in-process terminals instead of an unreported protocol.

* test(orcad): the CLI's accepting recover takes over a fence a refused recover just retained

The fake host now answers a stale-only takeover busy while a recovery's own takeover is
fresh, which reproduces BUG-17's 'still fresh' loop without the ownerless mark.

* fix(ssh): a cancelled connect closes only the transport its own decision opened and nothing newer adopted (#25696)

* fix(ssh): a cancelled connect closes only the transport its own decision opened and nothing newer adopted

#25641's cleanup took any transport that differed from the pre-decision one as the cancelled
decision's, guarded only by connectInFlight. A replacement connect that completed (and left
connectInFlight) then had its live transport disconnected by the stale attempt.

The pool now attributes a transport it opens inside a connect's server decision to that attempt
(AsyncLocalStorage), and the latest user adopts it: a connect that connects or publishes a managed
route, or a managed tunnel that records a forward. A cancelled attempt closes the transport only
when it opened it, nothing newer adopted it, and no current replacement is in flight.

* fix(ssh): a still-current connect whose server decision fails closes the transport that decision dialed

The decision's own failure (a throw, or a fenced relay refusal) published 'error' but left the
transport it dialed open, so getPublicSshState read 'connected' and a later auto-reconnect
broadcast a plain 'connected' with no relay. Both branches now close exactly the decision-owned
transport through abandonDecisionTransport, which treats the attempt's own in-flight entry as
no newer owner while that attempt is still current.

* fix(ssh): a connected conversion proves the host idle with the account-wide census, not this target's lists (#25697)

* fix(ssh): a connected conversion proves the host idle with the account-wide census, not this target's lists

The migration terminal gate asked the host-wide census only when no relay session existed. With a
session, it trusted this target's relay listing and its earlier-relay census, both of which name
only this target's instances, and returned `exited` when they were empty, so another desktop's live
shell on the same account, under a different target id, let the host convert under it.

`exited` now always needs a complete host-wide census: this target's lists can prove `live`, but
empty lists only pass the question to the census, and a gate given none answers `unverifiable`
with `needsHostCensus`. The connect-time refinement passes the census too, so a connect retires its
leases only when no relay on the account holds work. The Windows host lane now runs a second
desktop's relay with a live shell and expects the connected gate to read the host live.

* fix(ssh): a reconnected transport starts managed orcad itself instead of inheriting a dropped start (#25689)

* fix(ssh): a reconnected transport runs its own orcad start instead of inheriting a dropped one

The serving check deduplicated in-flight starts by environment only. When a
connect dropped mid-start (as when the launch-time auto-connect is replaced
by a reconnect), the caller on the new transport joined the start bound to
the dead one, got its failure, and reported the host managed with no server
running. In-flight checks now join only on the same connection, connect
generation and port, and a wake's own fence token is cleared only by that
wake.

* fix(ssh): a reconnected wake releases the fence its dropped wake held at any point

The flake's real verdict was 'fenced': the dropped launch-time wake held the
activation fence, and the reconnected wake could not prove it its own. A
wake now claims its token before its first remote step, an absent owner
record under a held token is still its own, and a reconnected wake waits for
this client's dropped wake to settle before reading the fence.

* fix(ssh): release only a fence carrying this process's own wake token

A fence with no owner file could be another client's fresh one. Releasing it
now requires the owner token this process wrote; the token is claimed before
the write so a drop after it still proves ownership.

* test(ssh): stop the exec-stdin test double from failing on EPIPE (#25739)

The truncation test's fake exec channel forwarded the local shell's
EPIPE (or 'Cannot call end after a stream was destroyed') as a channel
error. Whether that error or the shell's exit code won depended on
scheduling, so the test failed under full-suite load. ssh2 silently
drops writes once the remote stops reading; the double now does the
same, and a 1 MB payload makes the early-stop path deterministic.

* fix(ssh): Move lets the reconnect's decision run its census, and a census outside a connect holds 'connected' and closes its own transport (#25735)

- Move to managed server no longer runs a separate host census after tearing the relay down,

  session or providers. It reconnects, and reads the decision the reconnect's census recorded.
  A relay a failed stop left up is detached (leases kept), not disposed, before the reconnect.
- The CLI and delta-move census (censusHostRelayTerminalsFor) runs outside a connect under its
  own owner: the raw 'connected' it causes is held, and a transport it opened that nothing
  adopted is closed afterwards. Reusing a pooled transport inside a scope now adopts it.
- Drop the now-unused publishRelayTerminalsStatus.

Automatic source retirement leaves Phase 3: nothing deletes a converted host's retained rows on connect, delta move, keep-server's-version or restart. They stay hidden and are removed only by stopping the server, removing the host or uninstalling. Change detection goes back to the catalog-identity fingerprint, so an older build's edits inside an already-moved project stay preserved in the retained rows without marking the host changed. The copy-only helpers the delta view uses are renamed to subtract, and the converted-host session pin now also overrides a boot primary of local.

* fix(automations): a headless run is watched past tui-idle timeouts by the one run observer

The headless dispatcher awaited a single tui-idle wait, which rejects after
its 5-minute default, so a healthy agent working longer was published as
dispatch_failed and never observed again. The dispatcher now hands the run
to its completion watcher, whose runtime observer already re-arms wait
timeouts, honours cancellation and bounds total observation; the agent
status and missing-command checks fold into that observer, and the separate
completion loop is gone.

* fix(automations): an already-idle pane completes when the start window passes

Real-host: a stub that exited before the window left an idle shell with no
agent status, and the observer re-armed a tui-idle wait that never resolves
for an already-idle shell, so it timed out instead of completing. The
observer now keeps judging the pane while its output is unchanged, and only
waits again once the pane changes.

* fix(runtime-env): a re-paired managed server's subscribers recover without a reload (#25752)

* fix(runtime-env): a re-paired managed server's subscribers recover without a reload

The renderer kept the pairing revision it last read, so after an on-connect update re-paired a
managed server every subscribe and request was refused as 'pairing changed' until a reload. The
first refusal now re-reads the environment catalog, so revision-keyed subscriptions resubscribe
and requests carry the new pairing. A managed server re-pairing for the same host registration is
the same peer, so its workspaces and tabs are no longer purged as a replaced environment.

* fix(runtime-env): a re-paired managed server is the same machine only when its host proves the same identity

Same SSH target registration is not proof: a reinstalled host or a target now pointing elsewhere

re-pair retires the environment as before. A proven runtime id change also counts as replaced.

* fix(runtime-env): decide a managed re-pair's same machine by the host's proven key, not its runtime id

The runtime id is minted per process start, so every orcad restart would read as a new host.
The host's E2EE public key persists in its own profile across updates and its pairing handshake
proves it; main now lists a digest of it, and the renderer keeps a re-paired managed server only
when that digest is known and unchanged under the same SSH target registration.

* fix(automations): a headless host closes finished run terminals, keeping the newest few (#25831)

* fix(automations): a headless host closes finished run terminals, keeping the newest few

The desktop closes a run's terminal when the run completes; orcad had no
renderer to do it, so hourly automations left a shell and PTY per run open
forever (28 after ~6h on a real host). The headless service now closes a
finished run's terminal after a 10-minute grace, keeps the newest three per
automation viewable, and never touches a run that has not finished.

* fix(automations): never close a run terminal a client typed into or is viewing

Mirrors the desktop's take-over rule on headless hosts: a finished run's
terminal stays open when any client drove input to it since spawn, is
attached to or viewing it, or when this process cannot tell (it adopted
the PTY rather than spawned it).

* test(runtime): register a viewer through the public subscribe API

* fix(automations): close only completed runs' own panes

A failed run can still hold a live agent (blocked on a prompt, past the
watch window, or after an observer error), so like the desktop only a
completed run's terminal is closed. And only the run's own pane closes, so
a pane a user split into the same tab survives.

* fix(automations): close a run pane only while it still holds the run's PTY

The use check read run.terminalPtyId, but the close hit whatever PTY now
occupies the run's pane. Restart-exited-pane and the Codex account-switch
restart put a new PTY there, so a terminal a user was using could be killed.
The close now resolves the pane's current PTY and closes only when it is the
run's own; otherwise it closes nothing and only clears the run's terminal.

* fix(orcad): a snapshot restore past the exec timeout keeps its fence instead of racing a second restore (#25811)

* fix(orcad): a snapshot restore past the exec timeout keeps its fence instead of racing a second restore

A capture, restore or clear ran under the generic 30s exec timeout. On ssh2 the timeout closes the
channel and reads as a confirmed failure, but sshd leaves a pty-less command running, so rollback
ran its rescue restore and recover orphaned the fence for a second one, both in the same stage.

- State mutations run through execOrcadStateMutation: no abort, a client wait past the host's
  deadline, and any closed channel or busy/deadline answer is unconfirmed, so the fence stays fresh.
- POSIX hosts wrap each one in `timeout -s KILL` (where present) and a pid-checked lock dir under
  ~/.orca-remote; the Windows host script takes the same lock.

* fix(orcad): a running state mutation keeps the activation fence fresh

The fence goes stale by its lock dir's mtime after 20 minutes, and a capture, restore or clear can
now run up to 15 under it, so a rollback's rescue capture plus restore could outlast the window and
let a recovery steal the fence from a live run. While a mutation runs, the host now touches the
fence every 60s (POSIX: a background beat that stops with its shell; Windows: an interval in the
host script, whose mutations are now async so the timer runs). A dead process stops refreshing, so
stale takeover still recovers it.

* fix(orcad): the state-mutation fence heartbeat never refreshes a wake's fence

A wake writes .orca-wake-owner into the fence dir and lets its fence age toward takeover; the
heartbeat now skips a fence that holds that token, and only ever changes the dir's mtime.

* fix(orcad): a state mutation releases its host lock before answering, and names its holder by pid and start time

On Windows answer() exits in the stdout write callback, so an op that answered before its first
await (MISSING, EMPTY, FAILED) exited before the wrapper's finally and leaked the lock; a reused
pid then read as alive and every later capture, restore and clear answered busy. Ops now return
their token and the wrapper answers after releasing the lock. The holder is pid plus creation time
(the slot's process-tree addon); one that cannot be identified is stale once its lock misses five
heartbeats. POSIX gets the same heartbeat-age check for a reused pid.

* fix(orcad): a state mutation's host lock is owned by its whole process group

The lock named only the shell's pid, so a shell killed while its rm or tar ran let the next
mutation take the lock and race that child. Each mutation now runs in its own process group
(setsid, or perl setpgrp on macOS), with timeout inside it so a deadline KILL reaches the children
too. The lock records the group, and is taken over only once no member is alive; a host that can
start no group records none, and its lock is never taken over. Windows ops run in-process, with no
children to outlive the holder.

* fix(orcad): record a state mutation's process group without ps -p, and never hold a groupless lock forever

BusyBox ps has no -p, so Alpine hosts recorded no group and their lock read busy forever after a
timeout kill, reboot or OOM. The group now comes from /proc/<pid>/stat (read after the comm field's
last paren), with ps -o pgid= -p as the fallback. A lock that still names no group is taken over
once its pid is dead and its heartbeat has missed three beats.

* fix(orcad): only proof of exit frees a state-mutation lock

A Windows holder whose creation time could not be read was taken over after five quiet minutes
though its pid was alive, so a suspended clear could resume and delete freshly restored profiles.
Both platforms now free the lock only on proof of exit: a dead pid, a different creation time, or
(POSIX) a group with no live member. A live holder of unknown identity stays busy until it exits.
The owner record is written exclusively, so a run that resumes after a takeover backs off.

* fix(ssh): never offer Move for terminals another Orca desktop or session runs (#25815)

On a host where another desktop held a live relay shell, this desktop read relay_terminals_live
with offerMove, and its copy ("Its N open terminals will restart") implied they were its own. The
census already attributes them: terminals counted only by the host-wide census, with no lease or
listing of this target naming one, run under another target or session. That verdict now carries
elsewhere / terminalsElsewhere; no move is offered (no toast, no status-line action) and the status
line says the terminals belong to another Orca desktop or session.

* fix(automations): an update releases finished, unused automation shells before counting terminals (#25844)

Hosts with schedules kept completed run shells (the newest three, and any not
yet past their grace), which counted as running terminals and deferred every
on-connect update with orcad_update_terminals_running. The update and
rollback census now ask the server to close completed automation run
terminals no client used, with no grace or keep rule, and count after the
daemon drops them. Used, unknown, failed and running ones still count.

* fix(orcad): every activation fence holder carries a generation token its steps and release must match (#25834)

* fix(orcad): clear a bare stale activation fence instead of asking for Recover, and report a restarting update from status

BUG-21: a wake cut short leaves a stale fence with no journal. Every update then answered
'Recover it first' while Recover answered 'none'. The fence-hold check now takes such a fence
over and drops it, and the update retries once; Recover is asked for only over a journal.
The CLI also treats a connection closed by the server's own restart during update or rollback
as expected and reports what status shows once the runtime answers.

* fix(cli): type the reconnect status response explicitly

* fix(ssh): a wake's fence carries its owner token from the moment the lock exists

The idle-exit e2e still read 'fenced' on reconnect: the launch-time wake's
lock landed on the host but its connection dropped before the client saw OK,
so the wake body never ran and never wrote its owner token, leaving a fence
nothing could prove. The token is now claimed before the lock and written by
the same command that creates it, and a wake registers itself before any
remote step so a reconnected wake waits for it instead of racing it.

* fix(orcad): every activation fence holder carries a generation token its steps and release must still match

Astra pass 8: a holder suspended past the stale window resumed, kept acting, and its
unconditional release deleted the successor's fence and recovery journal mid-update. Every
holder (activation, rollback, stop, recover, wake) now writes a token into the lock it creates or
takes over. Each remote step it issues checks that token on the host, in the same command on
POSIX and inside the host script for Windows host ops; release is conditional on the token and
moves the lock aside instead of removing the root. A superseded holder aborts with
OrcadFenceLostError and its release is a no-op.

* fix(orcad): state mutations check the fence token before their lock, and refresh only a fence they still own

On POSIX the fence guard runs outermost in serializedStateMutationCommand, before the mutation
lock and the work, and the heartbeat touches the fence only while the token is still this run's.
The Windows host script records the --fence token and refreshFence compares it. A fence-lost
answer from a state mutation is a refusal, never a FAILED fallback. One owner-file constant
replaces the wake-owner copies.

* refactor(orcad): a state mutation's heartbeat touches the fence directory it checked ownership of (review)

* fix(orcad): a release moves the journal and lock aside and keeps only its own generation's

Astra pass 9: a release that passed its token check and stalled before deleting could, once a
takeover and a successor came and went, delete the successor's journal and lock. The journal is
now stamped with the writing run's fence token (a recovery takeover re-stamps the journal it
adopts), and the release renames the journal and the lock aside, deletes each only if it carries
this run's token, and otherwise moves it straight back.

* test(orcad): a successor restore stays busy beside a paused clear on the Windows host script

* fix(orcad): classify a lost fence from the step's exit and stdout, never the error message

The real exec error quotes the command, and every fenced command carries the
guard's marker text, so any failed or timed-out fenced step read as a lost
fence and dropped its unconfirmed flag. execCommand now attaches exitCode and
stdout to its exit error; execOrcadRemote rethrows unconfirmed terminations
before any reclassification.

* fix(orcad): a wake keeps its fence token until the fence is released

A disconnect fails a wake's next step without the unconfirmed flag, and the
fence release then fails over the dead connection. Forgetting the token on
that error left a fence the reconnected wake could not prove its own, so it
reported the host as held by an update.

Main added a required hasRequestedReleases port and now skips persist when a pass resolves
nothing, so the test mocks the new port and holds the pass at workspace resolution instead.

* fix(ssh): say "1 terminal" when another Orca desktop runs one on the host (#25853)

The terminalsElsewhere status line had no plural forms, so B9 read "while 1 terminals another

* fix(automations): close failed and exited runs' terminals once the shell is proven alone (#25859)

* fix(automations): close failed and exited runs' terminals once the shell is proven alone

Failed (command not found, timeout) and forever-dispatched runs kept one
shell per run, unbounded and counted by the update gate. Their terminals now
close like completed ones (unused, past the grace, outside the newest few)
but only on fresh execution-host proof that the spawned shell is alone at
its prompt; a live or unprovable agent keeps its terminal. A still-dispatched
run closed this way is marked failed. Dead terminals no longer take one of
the newest-three keep slots. The update drain follows the same rules.

* fix(automations): prove a run shell alone from the process table, not the daemon's ownership flag

On a real daemon session the daemon's confirmShellForeground stays false
after a plain 'command not found' and after an agent that exited, because its
ownership flag only turns 'shell' after a full-screen command; failed runs
would never have closed. The proof now also reads the host's process table:
on POSIX the PTY's root shell must own the terminal foreground group with
nothing stopped under it, on Windows the host's job-based child census must
be empty. Anything unobservable still keeps the terminal.

orca-runtime-preserved-branch-cleanup.ts had grown past max-lines (303) with

check-runtime-electron-ratchet bundled ~2,532 entry points each in full (format cjs, no

run, twice per test file. It was in flight in every unit shard that died with "The runner has
received a shutdown signal" (#25815 5/5 twice, #25876 2/5 twice). With esm + splitting the shared

* fix(ssh): a quit that aborts an upload whose read already ended no longer crashes main (BUG-23) (#25922)

Quitting while an on-connect orcad update was uploading its bundle aborted the connection's
teardown signal. sftp-upload's abort handler destroyed the local read stream with the signal's
reason, but once that read had ended, 'finished' had already removed its listeners, so the
stream emitted an unhandled 'error': [main_uncaught_exception] AbortError: This operation was
aborted. Electron's error dialog then blocked the main thread and the app never exited.

The read stream now always has a no-op error listener; the transfer's outcome still comes from
'finished'. Both the bare upload and the connection-level teardown abort are covered.

* fix(orcad): a launch reads readiness at least once; fake hosts match the capture's tar flag, not any -cf (#25918)

A random fence token contains `-cf` about 1 time in 125, and the fake hosts
read any command containing it as a snapshot capture, so a rollback's restore
answered CAPTURED and the rollback never launched. Separately, a client
descheduled between computing the readiness deadline and checking it skipped
every read and failed a ready launch.

* fix(orcad): a fence this desktop's exited process left is cleared without the 20-minute wait (#25941)

* fix(orcad): a fence this desktop's exited process left is cleared without the 20-minute wait

The client records the fence tokens its processes hold beside the profile. On
a later launch, a POSIX fence carrying a token from a process that has exited,
quiet for three heartbeats and with no live state mutation, is backdated so
the existing stale rules clear it or hand it to Recover at once. Another
desktop's fence, a live holder's, or one with a mutation still running keeps
the normal stale window.

* fix(orcad): held fence tokens are best effort, pinned to this machine and boot, and pruned after a day

A token-file write that fails no longer breaks a fence operation; an entry
recorded on another machine sharing the profile, or before a reboot, never
proves its holder exited; entries older than 24 hours are dropped. Tests cover
a journal kept for Recover, a successor freshened back after a racing backdate,
a Windows host, and the record across release, supersession, busy and a lost
connection.

* fix(orcad): an install lock this desktop's exited process left mid-upload is taken over without the 20-minute wait (#25991)

A quit during the bundle upload leaves the version dir's install lock, not the
activation fence. The lock now carries this desktop's token, recorded in the
held-token store, and is forgotten only once its removal is confirmed. On a
later attempt, before each stale check, a POSIX lock whose token belongs to an
exited process of this machine and boot, quiet for three minutes, is backdated
so the existing stale takeover claims it at once. The fence path now shares
the same helper.

update every 45s while the fence holds, and publishes the first answer without it. A recorded
deferral is dropped once the host runs its candidate or a newer release.

Phase 3's eleven orcad and SSH migration tests, plus main's own agent-launch-instant-tab test
(#25430), which main's tip also leaves unlisted.

The runner excluded *.electron.test.ts with a CLI --exclude, but main's switch to Vitest inline

drop Electron and cross-runtime ones before running.

* fix(ssh): keep the SSH host card quiet while its managed server is healthy (#26072)

* fix(ssh): Move to managed server keeps the host's terminal tabs (#26077)

* fix(ssh): Move to managed server keeps the host's terminal tabs

Move stops the relay shells; their exits read as a user exit and closed
the tabs before the conversion copied them to the server. Suppress those
exits for the move, restart stopped shells on the relay when the host
stays, re-home the open workspace onto the server, and report stopped
shells to the runtime so terminal list stops calling them connected.

* fix(ssh): mark Move's relay stops in main's intentional-stop register

The renderer-only exit suppression left main retiring the stopped tab from
the saved SSH session before the conversion copied it, left other viewers
unprotected, and swallowed real exits for the whole request. Register
exactly the shells the move stops, from just before each shutdown, as a
'replaced' stop with their incarnation; main keeps the surface and labels
the exit for every viewer, while a confirmed death stays 'exited'. Move
now returns the shells it stopped, and a host that stays on the relay
restarts only those tabs, discarding any buffered exit first.

* fix(hosts): show an SSH host and its managed Orca server as one host (#26076)

* fix(hosts): show an SSH host and its managed Orca server as one host

Phase 3 registers the Orca server it deploys over SSH as its own runtime environment, so every
host list built from the execution-host registry listed the machine twice under the same name.
The registry now folds the pair into one row named after the SSH host. The row routes to the
server, since a managed host has no relay, unless main reports the host back on its relay; the
other id stays as an alias so selections and renames saved under it still resolve. A retired id
that workspaces still point at keeps its own row, and servers no configured SSH host deployed
(manual pairings, orphans) are untouched.

* fix(hosts): keep both ids of a merged SSH host and dedupe only in pickers

Deleting the merged-away id from the registry broke every consumer that matches hosts by exact
id: Add Project fell back to local after a connect, the composer lost ready projects and drafts
(and could swap in an unrelated local project), and a host scope hid folder-only workspaces.

The registry now keeps both entries and marks the pair (aliasHostIds on the row pickers show,
mergedIntoHostId on the other). Pickers show one row per machine, and a choice of that row
expands to both ids: sidebar host scope, jump palette filter, notification toggles, run-target
and repository host offers. Add Project resolves a saved SSH id to its server row and blocks the
actions while that server comes up instead of choosing local. The composer's resolver now fails
closed when a named draft repo isn't actionable rather than picking another project.

* fix(hosts): widen saved host scopes, both-way palette aliases, guard Add Project host

- A sidebar or agents host scope saved by an older build (or before a route flip) can hold one id
  of a merged SSH host; a background gate widens it to both ids so exact-id filters match either
  owner.
- The palette host filter now resolves a saved id to both owners whichever id it names.
- Add Project's create and clone refuse to run while the chosen host is unresolved, and their
  submit buttons stay disabled, instead of falling through to this computer.

* fix(sync): reconcile main's ratchet bundling and cold-serve hydrate with phase3

The Electron-import ratchet keeps main's single-stdin bundle (cjs); the
auto-merge had also kept phase3's esm splitting, which broke main's
import-graph test. Editor tabs now follow the windowless full-seed rule
from #26022, so a cold serve restart lists persisted editors too.

* fix(ssh): reclaim this desktop's own exited lock on Windows hosts too (#26087)

* fix(ssh): reclaim this desktop's own exited lock on Windows hosts too

The relaunch after a quit mid-update now frees the activation fence and the
version-dir install lock on a Windows SSH host the same way it does on POSIX,
instead of waiting out the 20-minute stale window. The host script ages the
lock only when its token belongs to a desktop process proven exited, it has
been quiet for three heartbeats, and (for the fence) no state mutation is
live, where a mutation holder counts as gone only by pid plus creation time.

* fix(ssh): take an exited holder's lock only through the steal arbitration

Review found the reclaim backdated the lock by path after checking it, so a
live successor that replaced the lock in between could be aged and then
stolen, and an interrupted or failed restore left it aged for good.

The exited-holder check is now read-only. The steal command itself accepts
the proven token and, inside its steal claim and identity recheck, also takes
a lock whose owner file still names that token and that has been quiet for
three heartbeats. Nothing is written to a lock before the steal owns it.
POSIX uses the same path.

* fix(ssh): never take an exited holder's fence while a state mutation can start

Review round 2 found the fence's live-mutation guard ran only in the read-only
proof, so a mutation admitted after the proof, or one whose first heartbeat
landed after the steal sampled the fence's age, kept running under a fence
the steal had replaced.

For the fence, the steal now takes the state-mutation lock inside its claim
(mkdir on POSIX, the exclusive owner.json on Windows) and holds it until the
takeover is done; it refuses when any mutation lock exists. Holding it, it
rereads the owner and only then re-samples the fence identity. A mutation now
rechecks its fence token right after it takes the mutation lock and stops with
the fence-lost marker if it changed. The Windows proof also falls back to the
stale window when its command line would not fit cmd.exe.

* fix(ssh): record the exited-owner steal as a real mutation-lock holder

Review round 3 found the POSIX steal held the state-mutation lock as an empty
directory, which a mutation reclaims after a minute without any liveness
check; a steal stalled that long lost its exclusion and could replace the
fence under a running mutation.

The steal now writes its pid (and group, under the same rule) with the
mutation's own noclobber owner writer, so only proof of its exit frees the
lock, and it removes the lock only while the lock still names it. On
Windows the owner record is moved into place whole, so it never exists
empty, and is removed only while it still names the steal's pid.

* refactor(ssh): keep the relay lock commands off the orcad host-script graph

The mutation-lock owner writers moved into a leaf module, so the relay's
install-lock commands no longer import orcad-state-snapshot and, through it,
the Windows host script, orcad-instance-lock and the daemon process query.
Those modules evaluate imports at load time that existing suites mock
partially. No behavior change.

Brennan Benson ab6389045e fix(native-chat): start Windows chats without reading process creation times (#25718)
* fix(native-chat): start Windows chats without reading process creation times

Native chat on Windows refused to start ("Orca can't run this agent in a chat
here") whenever the process-table addon could not report process creation
times. Chat never needed them; only the bookkeeping around stopping the agent
did.

Windows now follows the common pattern: Stop ends the agent's tree with
`taskkill /T /F` on the child Orca still holds, and reports the tree gone only
when taskkill exits 0. A saved pid is never signalled after a restart.

- Remove the Claude and Codex location gate and the Codex launch refusal.
- A start time that cannot be read is recorded as unknown instead of refusing
  the session; recovery already releases such an owner without signalling it.
- Delete Claude's Windows creation-time descendant snapshot and its verifier.
- Codex's Windows teardown reports the real taskkill outcome.
- The renderer no longer waits on the capability flag; the host keeps
  publishing it for older clients (temporary).

* fix(native-chat): treat a Windows Claude exit after stdin end as a proven close

On Windows an idle Claude leaves on its own once its stdin ends, so every Stop
and close read as unproven: live background work settled as unknown and the
trace logged a close that "did not finish cleanly". As with the Codex close,
that exit is now the close and Orca makes no claim about processes Claude
started; a forced close still rests on taskkill's own report.

Also drop the Settings clause about Windows needing process start times, and
fix comments and the tracked process-enumeration doc that still described the
removed start-time gate and descendant snapshot.

* fix(native-chat): renew a held child's lease without a PID probe

An owner recorded without a process start time could never renew: the renewer
re-proves every live owner by PID identity, and with no start time and no
spawn-token echo that probe is indeterminate. The lease's last renewal then
stayed at the spawn, so a turn cut by an Orca crash was dated to its own start,
and every tick logged a failed renewal and split the batch into one store
transaction per chat.

The runtime now renews a lease for a child it still holds at the record's
fence and whose exit it has not received, recorded as a `held-child` match.
Receipt of the exit ends that proof before the exit is settled, and a restart
holds no child, so a dead owner's lease still expires and restart adjudication
is unchanged. Records this runtime does not hold keep the PID probe.

Also correct the identity probe's comment about shipped addons and note that
recovery's stop ladder is POSIX-only.

* fix(native-chat): keep a failed Windows taskkill unproven across a retried close

A Windows close counts Claude leaving on its own after its stdin ends as the
close. That shortcut also caught a retried close whose first attempt forced a
taskkill that failed: once the root exited, the retry returned true and the
failure read as a proven close. The tree reaper now records whether a reap
ever reached the live root, here, on an earlier close or from a transport
failure, and the shortcut applies only when none did; otherwise taskkill's
verdict stands and no new taskkill runs against the exited root.

Pin the platform on the existing tests that assume the POSIX close, and say
what `exit-proven` means on Windows in the acquisition-failure docs.

* fix(native-chat): derive a held child's liveness from the adapter's own handle

Lease renewal trusted a held child until the host settled its exit, and the
host hears of an exit late: Claude runs its close ladder and a store write
first, unexpected exits wait on one delivery chain shared by every chat, and a
Claude close that cannot prove its tree publishes nothing at all. A dead root
could keep renewing through that window, so a crash in it dated the cut turn
late. Renewal now asks the adapter, which owns the process handle and sees the
exit first: a child is held only while it is on record at the lease's fence
and its adapter still runs that exact acquisition with no root exit seen. An
adapter that cannot answer falls back to the PID probe. The stored
exit-received mark is gone.

The held-child read is now required by the runtime state and the renewer, and
a host-level test drives renewal through the real host wiring.

Neil 995715b19b test(windows): record native PTY stress lifecycle milestones (#25042)
<!-- orca-pr-loc -->
<!-- Programmatic LoC summary. Do not edit by hand; rewritten on every commit. -->

| | Files | Added | Deleted | Net |
| :--- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Test | 3 | $\color{#1a7f37}{\Huge{\mathbf{+}}}$​562 | 0 | $\color{#1a7f37}{\Huge{\mathbf{+}}}$​562 |
| Prod | 3 | $\color{#1a7f37}{\Huge{\mathbf{+}}}$​220 | $\color{#cf222e}{\Huge{\mathbf{−}}}$​8 | $\color{#1a7f37}{\Huge{\mathbf{+}}}$​212 |

<!-- /orca-pr-loc -->

## ELI5

When a Windows terminal stress test stalls, its old log cannot show where progress stopped. The test now records bounded, sanitized lifecycle observations while keeping its existing assertions and timing.

## What Changed

Record output-pipe, worker, native exit and final callback milestones, pending state at existing deadlines, and hashes of the native addon and supporting files. Redact addresses and credentials even when terminal controls split them, preserving the controls’ positions. Keep the warmup survivor and newest 31 terminals; later terminals still receive observers, with omissions counted explicitly.

## Why

[The failing Windows job](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/37132029374/job/111229398978) had one silent terminal and at least one undrained callback. [An earlier passing job](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/37123932023/job/111205697896) used the same source and cache inputs, without a loaded-addon hash. Observing the existing objects supplies missing evidence while preserving the gate. Bounded recent records retain the terminals most likely involved in a late failure.

## Linked Issue

Diagnosis of PR #25031’s Windows package failure. This does not claim that the original native cause is fixed or close a product issue.

## Visual Proof

N/A — test diagnostics add no UI or interaction change.

## Testing

- [ ] I manually tested these changes locally
- [x] Automated tests added and updated for reproduced failures.

On the exact previous public helper, eight strengthened controls failed and six passed. They reproduce control-interrupted credential/address leaks, omitted late terminals after eleven rounds, and late state after the 256-milestone cap. Independent review then reproduced six more leaks on the intermediate helper: usernames and hostnames masked only part of an email. The final helper runs the existing same-length redactor a second time, removing the remaining private domain while preserving controls and OSC framing. Those six before failures and two credential-overlap controls are retained. Corrected source `5037c18a898571539ade5336ad3519cd49dfb20f` passes 171 controls in four files, including all 22 observer controls, the full anti-slop audit, syntax/AST checks, focused format/lint and six quality gates.

The previous public source `f1ed3e97` passed [actual Windows CI](https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/37136703455/job/111243011997): 25 PTYs, eight rounds, 526 passing tests and 26 skips, plus build, package and smoke checks. Its native stress/driver files remain exact here; the observer has changed, so fresh normal CI must qualify this complete correction. The passing run’s native-addon hash differs from the historical failure; it does not explain that failure.

## Review

All four original diagnostic files and public ancestry are retained; all 32,245 paths outside that scope match main `786a040b`. The existing redactor runs twice on a view with presentation controls removed, then controls are restored at their original positions; OSC framing separates title payloads from adjacent text. Logs retain 32 terminal records and 256 milestones with explicit omissions, plus bounded final snapshots. The native callback preserves its receiver, arguments, result and thrown errors; error observers preserve unhandled-error behavior.

Native assertions, deadlines, input, concurrency and cleanup remain exact. Companion hashes identify file bytes rather than in-memory DLL equivalence. The original native cause remains unverifiable.

## Agent skill upstream boundary

- [x] Not applicable; no upstream skill source is copied.

## Notes

No production API, RPC, native patch, dependency or workflow change. Blank output or a missing callback is not evidence of process death. Local helper controls run on macOS; the existing real ConPTY gate exercises Windows.

## Checklist

- [x] Small, focused diagnostic scope.
- [x] Explained the before/after, mechanism and choice.
- [x] Visual proof N/A with reason.
- [x] Self-reviewed privacy, bounded logging and callback behavior.
- [x] Cross-platform and remote impact considered.
- [ ] Fresh normal Windows CI must qualify the complete corrected source.

OrcaWinandm4air 6593d7d194 feat(orcad): run orcad on the pinned Node instead of Bun (#24110)
* ci(daemon): gate PRs on daemon protocol crossing from the newest release

Lands daemon-protocol-facts.mjs from the Windows update diagnostic branch with a
stricter parser, and adds check-daemon-protocol-crossing.mjs (rule R1): the working
tree must attach the newest release tag's daemon. Rollback crossing is reported only.
Runs in the cross-version-wire job, which already has full tags; tag selection moves
to config/scripts/stable-release-tags.mjs so both use one rule.

* feat(persistence): run profile backups in the worker whenever its entry is bundled

* refactor(orcad): make profile and native preflight runtime-neutral

The profile preflight parser now takes the expected runtime identity from the
caller (shipped callers pass the pinned Bun identity), and the native
preflight is renamed to orcad-runtime-native-preflight with neutral wording.

* feat(runtime): pin the Node 24.21.0 server runtime with an offline CI check

Add src/shared/node-runtime-pin.ts (NODE_RUNTIME_PIN, SERVER_TARGETS,
NODE_RUNTIME_ASSETS for all 8 server targets plus the headers tarball),
generated by config/scripts/update-node-runtime-pin.mjs from the nodejs.org
and unofficial-builds SHASUMS. check-node-runtime-pin.mjs verifies, with no
network, that the pin tracks the locked Electron, matches engines.node's
major, and covers exactly SERVER_TARGETS; it runs in the static analysis job.

ORCAD_BUN_TARGETS consumers now read SERVER_TARGETS so there is one target
list; orcad's Bun runtime and build output are unchanged.

* test(persistence): skip plain-Node backup selection tests in the Bun profile suite

* fix(runtime): reject a pinned archive that belongs to another target

* ci(daemon): fail PRs that swap a runtime launcher and bump the daemon protocol

D7.1 R3: hosting orcad or the daemon on another runtime is not a protocol change,
so one PR must not do both. The launcher file list lives in the check script; the
allow-runtime-launcher-protocol-bump label overrides it.

* feat(orcad): select pinned-Node slots by a .runtime-node marker

D7.1 R5: a Node slot names its shared runtimes/node-<sha256>/node through
.runtime-node instead of .build-target, so Bun-era clients read it as a legacy
slot rather than exiting 78 on a missing bun-runtime. Nothing builds the marker yet.

* fix(runtime): load the Node pin without the typeless-module warning

check-node-runtime-pin.mjs now requires the pin and takes nodeDistArchiveName from
its own module, so it no longer loads the update script's build graph.

* fix(orcad): resolve Node slots to the design's runtimes/node-<sha>/bin/node layout

* feat(orcad): 8-slot node-pty prebuilds against the pinned Node headers at N-API 8

- build-orcad-prebuilds.mjs adds win32-x64/arm64 (conpty.node, the vendored
  conpty.dll/OpenConsole.exe, upstream's N-API conpty_console_list.node), compiles
  in a scratch copy against the hash-verified pinned headers (node.lib pinned per
  Windows arch) with NAPI_VERSION=8, rejects post-8 node_api_* imports, and writes
  a schema 2 manifest with per-file sha256, N-API level and the glibc need.
- --require-slots [slots] verifies files against hashes; --smoke loads the slot
  under the pinned Node and spawns a PTY; --print-slot names the host slot.
- The slot installer gates on N-API, libc, arch, glibc and file hashes instead of
  the exact NODE_MODULE_VERSION, and installs nested files (conpty/).
- bun-profile-tests.yml builds, verifies and smokes each runner's slot.

* fix(orcad): scope node-pty's glibc .symver pins to glibc on musl prebuild slots

musl's unversioned libc cannot satisfy openpty@GLIBC_* references at link
time, so the Alpine slot compile would fail. Pin the staged pty.cc guard to
__GLIBC__ and assert both musl transforms against the installed patch.

* feat(orcad): run orcad on the pinned Node instead of Bun

A packaged orcad slot now references the pinned Node 24.21.0 by its
executableSha256 (`.runtime-node`, `.server-target`) instead of carrying
bun-runtime, and ships node-pty from the slot's prebuild, only its own
ripgrep, and no Windows Bun PTY gate. The runtime lives beside the slots
at runtimes/node-<sha>/bin/node (node.exe on Windows, upstream name).

- build:orcad (build-orcad-node.mjs) builds the host slot's prebuild when
  missing and places the pinned runtime; the template is schema 3 with
  per-target files.
- handoffToBundledOrcad() resolves the slot's runtime reference and checks
  process.versions.node against the pin; a host Node >= 18 still hands off.
  Startup preflight keys on running as that runtime; callers expect 'node'.
- orcad and its daemon use node-pty (ConPTY + windows-pty-job on Windows);
  the Bun PTY sources, gate entry and canUseBunPty branches are removed.
- SSH deploy uploads the official archive once per pin, extracts and
  hash-checks it on the host, and self-tests it before publishing. Bun
  slots stay launchable for rollback; Node slots never use host Node.
- The runtime materializer is generic over pinned assets; the Bun wrapper
  remains only for the OpenCode vault reader (design Phase 2).
- Cross-runtime test: a profile DB written by Bun 1.4.2 (WAL left by
  SIGKILL) opens and backs up under the pinned Node, and the reverse.

No daemon PROTOCOL_VERSION change (design D7.1 R3).

* docs(ci): name the headless lanes after the pinned Node, drop Bun shard timings

Design D10: ci-demand-rollout.md and ci-runner-efficiency.md follow the
bun-profile-tests.yml -> node-server-tests.yml rename; shard timings drop the
deleted Bun PTY tests and follow the renamed ones.

* chore(ci): count the runtime archive download as a runtime launcher path

* fix(orcad): pin the macOS C++ standard for node-pty prebuilds

The official Node headers' config.gypi sets clang: 0, so common.gypi skips its
gnu++20 xcode_settings and Apple clang 15 (macos-14 runners) compiles
node-addon-api as C++98.

* fix(orcad): resolve the preflight's slot through realpath, as the handoff does

A symlinked orcad.js handed off to its real slot's pinned Node, but the
startup and profile preflights read the symlink's directory, found no
runtime marker there, and silently skipped the readiness check.

* refactor(ssh): drop materializeCachedNodeRuntime, which nothing calls

Deploys upload the verified official archive (design D5); no client path
needs an extracted Node executable cached by digest.

* test(orcad): gate the Bun-to-Node upgrade and Node-to-Bun rollback with live terminals

Design D7.1 R1/R3/R4 and D7.2. The last Bun orcad and this checkout's Node
slot are installed side by side under ~/.orca-remote, launched and stopped
with the client's own deploy commands, and share one data root. Each
direction proves the incoming orcad adopts the outgoing runtime's daemon
(same PID, same shell, output continues), opens its profile database and
backs it up with its own shipped worker, and that GC keeps the slot the
live daemon was forked from.

The node-server Linux lanes provide Bun 1.4.2 and build that Bun orcad
from main, and run with --cross-runtime. --artifact and --cross-runtime
now make their tests fail on a missing input instead of skipping.

* ci(node-server): pin node:24.21.0-alpine by its multi-arch index digest

* test(ssh): name the runtime archive fixture after its role

* test(node-server): load node-pty from the packaged slot in artifact runs

The node-server lane installs dependencies without building node-pty, and
Linux has no upstream prebuild, so the real-PTY failed-I/O teardown test
(picked up by the pty-subprocess selector) could not load pty.node. In
--artifact runs, alias node-pty to out/orcad's shipped slot so the test
exercises the addon orcad actually runs under the pinned Node.

* fix(orcad): let the Windows profile preflight exit after its PTY probe

On Windows, node-pty keeps the conout worker thread and pseudoconsole alive
until kill(), even after the shell exits. The PTY health probe never killed a
cleanly exited probe, so the packaged preflight printed its readiness line
and then hung until the build's 30s timeout, reported with an empty stderr.

- The probe kills its PTY on Windows after exit and uses the bundled ConPTY
  the daemon spawns with.
- The preflight exits once stdout is flushed; its owner reads to EOF.
- Preflight failures now report code, signal, timeout, stdout and stderr.

* test(node-server): load the slot's node-pty in the real-PTY test, not by alias

A vite alias redirected only ESM imports of node-pty; windows-pty-job and
local-pty-utils resolve it through require, so Windows loaded two conpty.node
copies and the Git Bash job-membership proof read an empty job. The failed-I/O
teardown test now loads node-pty through a fixture that picks the packaged slot
in artifact lanes.

The pty-subprocess selector was a prefix that also pulled in its POSIX-host
sibling unit tests, which pr.yml runs and which were never qualified on
Windows. Select the directory plus the two sibling files that belong here.

OrcaWinandm4air 4b6fe95943 fix(windows): preserve relocated terminals and native process scans (#22872)
* fix(windows): ship the process-table addon to the relocated daemon host

The Windows terminal daemon runs from a copy of the app under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Orca\daemon-host\<version>. That copy took node-pty but not
@vscode/windows-process-tree, so the daemon's bare require of the addon found
nothing and every process-table read (foreground tracking, descendant sweeps)
fell back to a powershell.exe Get-CimInstance scan (#16905).

- Copy the addon's runtime files (package.json, lib/, the .node binary) into
  the host; the ~25MB of gyp intermediates beside them are filtered out.
- Treat a host missing those files as unmaterialized, so hosts built before
  this are rebuilt, and skip relocation if the install itself lacks them.
- Log the daemon's native/CIM capability at startup and warn once when the
  process table falls back to CIM.

Neil 8c18e42be2 test(ci): replace fixed teardown waits with bounded polls (#19720)
The two flakiest tests on main both guessed at a duration instead of
waiting for the condition.

- windows-pty-job.win32.test.ts assumed job teardown finished in 1.5s;
  under load on a Windows runner it does not. Poll isAlive up to 30s
  instead -- the assertion is unchanged, so a real leak still fails.
- structured-agent-session-claude-options-round-trip.test.ts relied on
  vi.waitFor's 1s default for a two-hop handoff; give it 10s.

Both are test-only and strictly widen an existing wait.

* fix: retain MSYS shell descendants in their terminal job

* test: complete MSYS regression CI registration and teardown contract

* fix(windows): deny job breakaway for the whole Cygwin/MSYS shell family

The per-PTY job probed only msys-2.0.dll, and only for bash.exe/sh.exe.
Cygwin ships the same spawn.cc breakaway logic under cygwin1.dll, and an
MSYS2 zsh escapes exactly like its bash does, so both kept the orphan bug.

Probe the runtime DLL on the shell's own search path instead of matching
shell names: that is the property that decides whether the runtime will
ask for CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB, and it drops the name special-casing.

* chore(patch): restore the conpty.cc index line

The earlier hand-edit dropped it while every sibling section kept one.
Recomputed against the real blobs: applying this patch to 7b286d3d
yields exactly 4b06d185, so git apply -3 has its fallback back.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 1478101342 fix(windows): unblock structured native chat by exposing process creation time (#18986)
* fix(windows): guard process creation times

* fix(windows): ask the relay's bare addon for creation times too

The relay addon build now emits creationTimeMs, but the runtime binding
for the bare addon still declared only CommandLine, so a Windows relay
host requested flag 2 and every row came back without a creation time.
That leaves captureWindowsDescendantSnapshot returning null and
verifyWindowsProcessIdentity false forever on those hosts -- the relay
half of the patch was unreachable.

Naming CreationTime in the adapter is safe because the bare addon is a
content-hashed relay artifact: it ships in the same immutable relay
directory as the bundle reading it, so it can never be older than the
code asking for the bit.

Also bound the win32 guard test on our own row, which the addon can
never fail to answer, so an unconverted FILETIME or a 1601-epoch stamp
fails instead of satisfying a bare count.

* fix(windows): make the compiled addon prove its own CreationTime support

CI caught the real defect: the win32 guard test read
isWindowsProcessStartTimeAvailable() as true and then found 0 rows
carrying creationTimeMs. Unlike node-pty, this package publishes a
prebuilt .node at the same build/Release path node-gyp writes to, so
pnpm patches the source tree and leaves that binary alone. A host then
holds a patched lib/index.js -- ProcessDataFlag.CreationTime and all --
over a binary that ignores flag 4, and neither a load check nor a path
check can see the difference.

So the binary now says so itself: addon.cc exports
supportedProcessDataFlags, lib/index.js re-exports it, and

  - windows-process-tree-creation-time.cjs asserts it during install,
    which is what forces a from-source rebuild. It is shared by the Node
    probe in ensure-native-runtime.mjs and the Electron probe in
    rebuild-native-deps.mjs, exactly as node-pty-job-ownership.cjs is --
    the Electron half matters because that probe decides onlyModules, so
    without it the packaged app would ship the stale prebuilt.
  - isWindowsProcessStartTimeAvailable() gates on the reported bit, not
    the enum. Believing the enum is worse than reporting false: the
    descendant snapshot returns null forever and the exit proof latches
    unverifiable while structured chat believes it has a reaper.

rebuildNodeRuntimeModules could not actually have rebuilt this package:
the patched binding.gyp includes deps/node-addon-api, which the tarball
does not ship, and node-gyp must run from the physical dir.

Also closes the relay repair path's divergence: repairCreationTimeSources
wrote the C++ but not the buildNode splat or the tree-node typing, and
assertPatchApplied checked neither, so a repaired tree passed as patched
with buildProcessTree silently dropping the field.

The guard test is unchanged.

* fix(windows): keep the process-tree patch LF-only

windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs requires the patch file to
carry no CR bytes. Regenerating through pnpm patch-commit emitted 199 of
them, because the creation-time change is the first to touch files the
package ships as CRLF (src/process.h, src/process_worker.cc,
src/addon.cc, lib/index.js, lib/index.ts, the typings) -- and #17886's
own hunks over binding.gyp and src/process_commandline.cc carry the rest.

Stripping them is safe and changes nothing the lockfile records: pnpm
hashes patches CRLF-normalized, so the digest stays
e66202cc623996d02040c93449eb9ae353fddadf426cb53202a59ee710ee6fe7 and now
equals the file's plain sha256 too. It also still applies -- verified
against a deleted store entry, not a warm one -- and the precedent was
already there: the previous patch was LF-only and had been patching
those same CRLF files all along.

ensure-native-runtime.test.mjs stages the siblings the script loads at
module scope into its temp project. The import walk added by #17886 sees
`from './x.mjs'` only, so the createRequire'd .cjs siblings still have to
be named, and this PR adds a second one.

6494f2a4f0 fix(native-chat): resume a structured chat from Agent Session History (#18933)
* fix(native-chat): resume a structured chat from Agent Session History

Clicking Resume on a chat-UI row could only reveal an already-open tab. If the
chat had been closed, or this process had never published it, the click re-read
an inventory that did not contain it and toasted "Retry in a moment" — advice
that could never come true, because nothing republishes an unpublished tab. The
legacy `claude --resume` fallback is deliberately refused for structured-owned
rows, so the row had no way back at all.

`close` already keeps the record and the journal on disk so a session can be
attached again, and the hold path already resurrects one in full. What was
missing was the tab: `restoreReadableSessions` is latched to run once, at
startup, so nothing could ask for a single session later.

Adds `agentSession.reveal`. The host looks up its own record, restores the
session readable, and republishes the tab through the same call
`agentSession.create` uses. Deliberately narrow:

- It takes no hold. A provider child exists because a surface asked, and the
  chat pane asks when it binds.
- A journal it cannot read is not a refusal. A chat whose journal predates the
  SQLite store restores to nothing here, but attach still recovers it, so the
  tab is published and the pane's hold finishes the job.
- Workspace and provider come from the record, never the client, so a session
  id alone cannot aim the publication at another workspace.

Claude and Codex both, by construction: eligibility is `adapterSupportsRecord`,
which the router answers from the record's own provider.

Gated on a new advertised capability rather than probing for method_not_found,
matching agent-session.structured.hold.v1 — absence is visible during
negotiation instead of by calling.

* fix(native-chat): negotiate reveal against the host that owns the workspace

The capability gate read the LOCAL runtime's advertised capabilities while the
call went to the host that owns the workspace, which for a paired workspace is
a different build. On desktop the renderer and its local host are always the
same build, so the gate passed unconditionally and proved nothing about the
host being called: an older paired host still received the unknown method and
its method_not_found was reported to the user as 'this chat is no longer on
this host'. The cache it read also starts empty and resets to empty when
status.get fails, so 'not fetched yet' and 'unsupported' were the same value.

Gate on the environment that will answer, the way agentSession.close already
does, and skip the round trip entirely for a local host. Reveal now reports
four outcomes instead of a boolean, so a host that is merely too old is not
reported as a chat that is gone, and a host we could not reach keeps the
retryable message.

Also syncs the localization catalog: the 'gone' key shipped without an en.json
entry, which reddens static analysis and verify while typecheck stays green.

* fix(native-chat): tell a refused reveal apart from a missing chat

The host raises two refusals here and they mean opposite things to a user: it
holds no such record, or it holds one no adapter of its own can open. The
client collapsed both into 'this chat is no longer on this host', which is a
eulogy for a chat still sitting on disk. Read the refusal code, and fold the
host-side case in with the too-old host under one honest message, since the
remedy for both is the same.

Adds the coverage the readiness pass found missing: the host's reveal answer
itself (workspace and provider from the record, both refusals, an unreadable
journal, a live session), and the activation branches for a host that cannot
open the chat and for one that never answered.

* fix(native-chat): read a host version block as the host's age, not a lost link

The capability probe reaches assertRuntimeStatusCompatible, which throws a
runtime_compat_block error. Treating that as unreachable told a user with an
out-of-date host to retry, which is the one thing that cannot help. Branch on
isRuntimeCompatBlockError the way remote-agent-session-launch already does for
the same probe.

Also adds the refusal-code case a previous commit claimed and did not deliver:
nothing drove a structured_agent_session_unsupported reply through the reveal
client, which is the branch that commit existed to add. Corrects a doc comment
that reveal made wrong: attach is no longer the only call that builds the host.

* fix(native-chat): let a dragged history row reach the same reveal as a click

Dropping an Agent Session History row onto a pane activated the tab by id and,
on a miss, raised the very toast this PR exists to remove — so the same row
answered a click and a drop differently, and the drop kept the advice that can
never come true. The structured branch never used the drop pane, so routing it
through the shared activation loses nothing and gains the reveal.

The helper only ever read one field, so its parameter narrows to that field and
the drag payload satisfies it directly. A source ratchet holds both entry points
to the reveal-capable path, since a mounted drag harness does not exist for this
layer and what regresses is a call site, not a rendering.

* fix(native-chat): stop an advisory refresh ending the click, and one click per row

Manual QA found the reveal never ran: the inventory refresh that precedes it
is an optimization, but its failure returned early with 'not available yet,
retry in a moment' — reinstating the dead end this PR removes, one step
earlier. A failed refresh now falls through to the reveal, which is the repair
and does not need the refresh to have worked.

The click can chain a refresh, a capability probe, a reveal and a second
refresh, each with its own timeout, while nothing on the row says it is
working. A per-session in-flight guard keeps an impatient second click from
running the whole sequence again and landing its own toast.

Also drops an unreachable owner scope: the snapshot apply discards any
worktree whose execution host is not local before it reads one, so naming a
remote scope there described a synchronisation that cannot happen.

* fix(native-chat): bound the capability probe and stop naming the wrong machine

The in-flight guard releases when the activation settles, so an await that
never settles holds the row for the life of the process. The capability probe
was the one call in the chain not raced against a deadline: on a cache hit it
awaits a promise an earlier probe created, which may carry no deadline of its
own. Race it like the two calls around it.

A version block can name either side — evaluateRuntimeCompat reports
client-too-old as well as host-too-old — so a message that blamed the host
pointed half of those at the wrong machine. Name the remedy instead of the
machine, which is true for every case that reaches it.

* chore: remove a scratch repro file committed by mistake

It was swept into the previous commit by a broad `git add` while a diagnostic
ran in this worktree. It asserts the current renderer-sync defect as expected
behaviour, so it would fail the moment that defect is fixed.

* fix(native-chat): stop a reveal's own inventory refresh discarding its republished tab

Manual QA: the host answered reveal with ok:true and republished the tab, and
the chat still did not reopen — only a renderer reload brought it back.

The renderer publishes under one epoch string for its whole lifetime, and a
frame recorded under a different lineage retires that epoch permanently with
nothing to un-retire it. The Resume click asks for an inventory first, and a
worktree the host holds no entry for answers with the none/v0 sentinel; the
structured path recorded it, retiring the renderer's own epoch, so the tab the
reveal published a moment later was dropped. A reload minted a new epoch,
which is why reloading appeared to fix it.

A frame that carries no publication is not a later publication to fence
against. Treat the sentinel and a removal frame as a cursor reset, the way the
mainstream session-tabs path already clears its tracking — its comment names
this exact hazard: recording that sentinel would retire the host epoch and
reject the next live frame.

Pre-existing, and it swallows an ordinary new-tab launch on an empty worktree
too; the reveal is what turned a silent invisibility into a visible failure.

* fix(native-chat): let a retraction prune its rows without retiring the epoch

Correcting the previous commit. Skipping a retraction frame outright stopped it
pruning the mirrored rows, so a worktree the host no longer publishes would
have kept a chat on screen with nothing behind it. Apply the frame as before
and clear its cursors instead of recording them, which is what the mainstream
session-tabs path does.

The unpublished sentinel keeps its cursor now too: it is skipped rather than
cleared, so a stale frame arriving late is still fenced. Adds the case the
earlier version would have broken.

* fix(native-chat): keep the retraction's fences, and fence the reveal's refresh

Correcting the retraction handling again. Clearing its cursors was more than the
bug needed and cost a guard: the host mints a fresh epoch when it rebuilds a
pruned entry, so a republication is never gated by the retained cursor, while
dropping it left an inventory response issued before the close free to land
afterwards and strand a chat row for a worktree the host no longer publishes.
Skip only the recording. The mainstream path keeps its epoch history for the
same reason, as a tombstone fence.

The test that justified the stronger clearing asserted a host behaviour that
does not exist — a rebuilt entry republishing under the renderer's epoch with a
restarted counter. It now uses what publishStructuredAgentSessionTab actually
mints for a pruned entry, and a new case covers the frame that would strand.

Also fences the reveal's inventory refresh on the sync generation, which every
other caller that applies an inventory already does: structured chat can be
switched off mid-flight, and the answer would otherwise re-seed a row into a
renderer that just discarded them.

* fix(native-chat): drop the retraction's epoch history, keep its version cursor

Third and final shape for this branch, and the only one of the three that holds.

Keeping both maps re-poisons the epoch one cycle later: the consumer here is
also the publisher, so the history's current is the renderer's own lifetime
epoch, and recording the reveal's fresh epoch retires it. The next chat the
renderer publishes is then dropped — this bug again, one close later. Deleting
both loses the guard that stops a frame issued before the close landing after
it and stranding a row nothing republishes.

So: clear the history, keep the cursor. The mainstream path keeps its history
as a tombstone because there the epochs belong to a remote publisher; that
reasoning does not carry to a path that publishes under its own.

Each of the three variants now fails a different test.

* fix(native-chat): a retraction forgets what is current, not the tombstones

The delete lost a fence the cursor cannot replace: the version cursor only
compares within a lineage, so a delayed frame from an already-superseded epoch
had nothing left to stop it putting a chat row back for a worktree the host no
longer publishes. Keeping the record intact had the opposite fault — the
renderer's own epoch is the history's current, so the next frame under any
other epoch retired it.

Clearing only current does neither: noteRetiredValue retires nothing when there
is nothing current, and the tombstones stay. Each of the four shapes now fails
a different test.

* fix(native-chat): narrow the retraction frame through its own type

Typecheck caught what the tests could not: `removed` is not on
RuntimeMobileSessionTabsResult. The repo already names the shape —
RuntimeMobileSessionTabsRemovedResult — so this reads it through a guard rather
than the inline cast the mainstream path uses.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker fc5fa16870 perf(windows): split the process table into two flag sets (#17866)
* perf(windows): split the process table into two flag sets

MDE flags "suspicious memory activity" on the process-table reader: it
opened a handle into every process on the box and read each one's PEB on
a repeating cadence. Two changes narrow that.

Drop `Memory` outright. It cost a second
OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ) plus
GetProcessMemoryInfo per process, and nothing reads a working set off
this table -- the Resource Manager runs its own sweep, and the addon
stores WorkingSetSize into a DWORD so anything above 4 GB wraps.

Split the rest in two. `readWindowsProcessIdentityTable[Fresh]` is a
bare Toolhelp32 walk with zero per-process handles, and returns
`WindowsProcessIdentityRow`, which has no `command` to read.
`readWindowsProcessTable[Fresh]` keeps the command line for the callers
that match on it. PTY root identity and the owner start-time probe move
to the cheap reader; agent recognition, port attribution, codex turn
processes and structured-TUI matching all genuinely need the command
line and stay.

Two independently single-flighted caches, never one per caller: the
fan-out this module prevents is one scan per caller, and each reader
still serves every caller wanting its flag set. The wedge gate and the
3s deadline stay shared, because both readers call the same addon and
one wedged read latches its one `requestInProgress`. With no binding
there is only the 1.4s PowerShell scan to run, so the identity view
rides the detailed snapshot rather than forking a second one.

Measured on Windows 11, 492 processes (p50/p95): identity 6.3/7.0 ms,
detailed 12.3/13.4 ms, previous memory+commandLine 13.1/14.1 ms.

* fix(windows): serialize native process-table reads across flag sets

The two flag-set readers could both be in flight at once, and the
vendored wrapper does not tolerate that. `getRawProcessList` pushes the
callback onto one list and calls the addon only when no request is in
progress, so a second concurrent caller's `flags` are DISCARDED and it
is handed the first caller's rows. Measured against the real addon:
identity issued first, both callers got the same array, 0 of 541 rows
with a command line. A detailed read overlapping an identity read
therefore returned a table with every command line empty, which agent
recognition reads as "no agent" -- silently, and only under concurrency.

Nothing already here excluded that. Each snapshot cache single-flights
only within itself, and the wedge set latches only after a read misses
its 3s deadline, so through the healthy ~12ms of a scan neither reader
excluded the other. Overlap is the normal state: panes poll detailed at
750ms while a teardown takes identity snapshots.

`nativeReadGate` admits one native read at a time across both flag sets.
It also fixes the relay path, where `adaptAddon` has no queue at all and
two simultaneous CreateToolhelp32Snapshot calls are the crash the
vendor's queue exists to prevent. Every link settles, so a wedged read
never strands a waiter; the waiter re-checks the wedge and rejects. With
one call outstanding, retention stays bounded at one callback rather
than one per reader.

Also from review:

- The CIM fallback now belongs to the detailed flag set alone, and the
  identity view projects that snapshot through `toIdentityRow`, so an
  identity row carries no command line on a no-binding host either.
- The concurrency test modelled the wrapper's coalescing queue, which
  the previous synchronous mock could not express; verified failing
  without the gate and passing with it.
- `agent-session-process-identity-probe` early-returns when the
  creation-time flag is unavailable, which no shipped addon build
  provides, instead of scanning the table to produce null.
- Corrected the cost framing: Memory took an OpenProcess(...|VM_READ)
  it never read through, so dropping it halves per-process handle opens
  and leaves the PEB/ReadProcessMemory telemetry unchanged.

* test(windows): keep read exclusion across resets and flag each field

Two review follow-ups, both about tests passing for the wrong reason.

`resetNativeReaderState` replaced the read gate with a resolved promise,
so waiters still holding the old chain ran beside reads queued on the
new one. Reachable only from the `__set*ForTests` hooks, which is what
makes it worth fixing: it hands a suite two concurrent calls into its
own mock addon -- the exact condition the concurrency tests exist to
detect. Chain onto the gate instead; every link settles within the
deadline, so the bounded wait that costs is the right trade.

The coalescing mock shaped every field off the CommandLine bit, so an
identity read that did request CreationTime got `creationTimeMs`
stripped. The identity-side assertion was then only `!('command' in
row)`, which a correctly flagged read and a coalesced one satisfy
equally: a future regression losing identity flags under concurrency
would have kept the case green. Gate each field on its own bit and
assert `creationTimeMs` positively, inside the helper both orderings
share.

Concurrency assertions move to a new bare-addon mock. The coalescing
mock's own latch means it can never report more than one call in
flight, so measuring exclusion there proved nothing; the bare addon has
no queue -- like `adaptAddon` on a relay, where re-entering
CreateToolhelp32Snapshot is a real crash -- and makes re-entry visible.

Verified by deletion: restoring `nativeReadGate = Promise.resolve()`
fails the reset case with `expected 2 to be 1`, and restoring the
single-bit mock fails both overlap orderings on `creationTimeMs`.

* docs(windows): count the third test defect in the list that names them

The section opened "Two defects have now shipped", numbered two, then
described the third in its closing paragraph -- a list that reads as a
complete account while quietly omitting one, which is the exact failure
the section exists to warn about. Say three and number it, and note that
the third arrived inside the fix for the first two.

Also record why the creationTimeMs and flags-array assertions are not
redundant, in the doc and beside the assertions: the flags array catches
a read served another flag set's rows, the positional creationTimeMs
check catches field shaping (identity dropping CreationTime, or
toIdentityRow not forwarding it). Neither sees the other's failure.

* docs(windows): stop describing a PEB read this release removed

Every comment here that justified the flag split in terms of PEB reads became
false when the command-line reader moved to the kernel. Left alone, the
enumeration doc contradicted itself inside one file: the flag-set section
described three chained `ReadProcessMemory` calls per process while the
sections below it explained that the addon contains no such primitive and has
no PEB fallback.

The measurement is now attributed rather than merged. Dropping `Memory` halved
the per-process handle opens and nothing else -- both handles carried
`PROCESS_VM_READ` at the time -- and it was replacing the PEB walk that took
`PROCESS_VM_READ` and `ReadProcessMemory` out of the addon. Neither change
substitutes for the other, which is worth keeping straight: the split's
remaining value is the handle itself, not the memory access.

Also adds `relay/windows-port-scan.ts` to the caller table, the one caller this
effort introduced, and records that it reads only pid/name through the detailed
reader -- free while a pane is polling, not free on a headless relay.

* test(windows): pin the fresh links path against the identity TTL cache

The identity and detailed tables are separate snapshot readers with
independent TTLs, so the detailed path's existing freshness guard says
nothing about the ancestry walk's. Cover the identity reader on its own.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bfc6a262a7 fix(windows): read command lines from the kernel, not each process's PEB (#17886)
* fix(windows): read command lines from the kernel, not each process's PEB

MDE incident D scored Orca for suspicious memory activity: the vendored
`@vscode/windows-process-tree` recovered every process's command line by
opening it with `PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ` and chaining
three `ReadProcessMemory` calls through the PEB and
`RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS`. On a 750ms/2s cadence over the whole table that
is the credential-dumping primitive, whatever the intent.

Windows 8.1 added `NtQueryInformationProcess`'s `ProcessCommandLineInformation`
class (60), which returns the same string as a kernel-built `UNICODE_STRING`
under `PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION` alone. Electron's floor is Windows
10, so every supported OS has it. The PEB reader stays behind a process-wide
latch that only `STATUS_INVALID_INFO_CLASS`/`NOT_SUPPORTED`/`NOT_IMPLEMENTED`
can set; a pid that merely denied a handle does not re-arm it, because
`PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION` implicitly grants the limited right and so cannot
be obtained where the weaker open already failed.

The same hunk drops `PROCESS_VM_READ` from `GetProcessMemoryUsage` and
`GetCpuUsage`, which acquired it and never read an address space.

Measured on Windows 11 (514 processes), counted in-process by swapping the
addon's import table entries for counting stubs, per CommandLine scan:
`ReadProcessMemory` 1128 -> 0, desired access 0x0410 -> 0x1000, p50 12.7ms ->
9.3ms. Command lines were byte-identical on every process both readers
recovered (376/376, 379/379 across runs), including a 24,068-character argv
with quotes, non-ASCII and trailing whitespace, and a WOW64 target. Three
processes that refused the old rights granted the new one; none went the other
way.

* chore(deps): refresh the windows-process-tree patch hash in the lockfile

* fix(windows): drop the PEB fallback and detect the unpatched prebuilt

Review of #17886 found three ways the reader could still perform, or silently
resume, the primitive it exists to remove.

The class-missing latch was a permanent, process-wide, one-way downgrade back
to the PEB read, and any single target returning STATUS_INVALID_INFO_CLASS /
NOT_SUPPORTED / NOT_IMPLEMENTED could trip it. On an EDR-hooked ntdll -- the
entire premise of this change -- a hook that does not recognise class 60 would
have restored PROCESS_VM_READ plus three ReadProcessMemory per pid per scan for
the life of the process, unobservably, on precisely the machines this was
written for. The fallback is deleted rather than guarded: GetProcessCommandLine
now returns false and leaves the command line empty, which callers already
handle, so the addon imports no ReadProcessMemory at all.

That absence is what makes the property checkable on the artifact. The
published 0.8.0 tarball ships a loadable prebuilt built from unpatched source;
it is node-addon-api, so a bare require() accepts it, allowBuilds is false and
CI installs with --ignore-scripts, and a rebuild that soft-exits on a Windows
file lock leaves it in place. Source-text guards could never see it.
windowsProcessTreeAddonReadsProcessMemory() checks the compiled binary instead,
and is wired into the install check, the rebuild, and the relay build.

The repair itself never worked: `git apply` run inside a work tree prefixes
patch paths with the cwd-relative prefix, skips what does not match, and exits
0, so the branch always fell through to its own post-check throw. The package
dir is always under the project root, while the fixture that covered it was in
%TEMP%, outside any repo. Blinding git with GIT_DIR fixes it, and the test now
runs inside a real work tree.

Also from review: bounds-check the returned UNICODE_STRING against the
allocation (not the size the second query clobbers) and cap the probe so a
bogus length cannot bad_alloc a whole scan; test NT_SUCCESS explicitly; value-
initialize ProcessInfo, which left `memory` as stack garbage -- measured, 82
processes reported the same bogus working set; and correct a comment in
windows-process-table.ts that still described the command line as a PEB read.

Re-measured on Windows 11 (543 processes): ReadProcessMemory 1128 -> 0, with
the symbol absent from the import table so the IAT hook finds no slot to
count; desired access 0x0410 -> 0x1000 on all 543 opens; p50 13.5 -> 12.3ms;
405/405 command lines byte-identical including a 24,087-character quoted
non-ASCII argv and a WOW64 target; 3 processes recovered only by the new path,
0 only by the old.

* chore(deps): refresh the windows-process-tree patch hash in the lockfile

* test(scripts): stage a script's local imports into the native-runtime fixture

ensure-native-runtime.mjs gained an import of windows-process-tree-gyp-rebuild.mjs,
but the fixture copied only the script itself, so every case in the suite died
with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND before reaching its own assertions. copyScriptWithLocalModules
already walks a script's co-located imports for exactly this reason -- its own doc
comment names this failure -- so use it rather than listing files by hand.

The two Windows cases still fail here, on a missing node-pty ConPTY runtime that
also fails on main; this only stops a resolution error from standing in front of
whatever they were meant to catch.

* fix(windows): route a locked stale addon to the Windows file-lock message

`pnpm install` with Orca running aborted with a raw EPERM stack. The stale-binary
guard -- which deletes an addon that still imports ReadProcessMemory so a skipped
rebuild cannot use it -- ran outside the try whose catch classifies Windows file
locks, and whose message is literally "Close running Orca/Electron/dev processes
for this worktree": exactly this situation.

Measured rather than assumed: rmSync against a loaded (memory-mapped) addon throws
EPERM, and `force: true` does not help, since it only swallows ENOENT. Cold copies
of the same file delete fine. So the delete threw a page before the handler that
knows what it means.

Moving the guard inside the try is the whole fix; the classifier already matches
the EPERM text. The new case runs the real script against a temp project whose
stale addon is held open by a live child process, and fails against the old
placement with the raw `syscall: 'rm'` stack the report described.

* feat(windows): warn once when command-line recovery is refused host-wide

Removing the PEB fallback removed a total-defeat vector, but it left a cliff: if
NtQueryInformationProcess(ProcessCommandLineInformation) is refused -- a hooked
ntdll that does not know class 60 -- every command line comes back empty and
agent identity matching silently degrades to image names. The addon still loads
and still enumerates, so every health check the app has stays green. A cliff
nobody can see is the failure mode this area keeps producing.

The querying process is the unambiguous probe. A process can always open itself
with PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION, so its own command line coming back empty
means the query is refused for every process -- not that some target denied a
handle, which is normal for roughly a quarter of the table. Keying on our own row
rather than a fraction means no threshold to tune and no false positive on a
hardened box where most processes deny.

One warning per session, gated on the CommandLine flag actually being requested so
a future identity-only reader cannot trip it. The suite's own SELF fixture gains a
command line for the same reason: a self row without one is the alarm, not a
detail.

* fix(windows): check the relay's staged addon at load, and answer tri-state

Two gaps in the ReadProcessMemory check, both about what it does not see.

It only ever looked at node_modules/@vscode/windows-process-tree. A relay host
has no node_modules of ours: it loads ./windows-process-tree.node staged beside
the bundle. The relay build asserts the symbol on the artifact it produces, but a
bundle and the addon beside it redeploy independently, so a host that has not
taken a new bundle keeps whatever binary is already there -- and the published
prebuilt is node-addon-api, so it binds cleanly and then walks every process's
address space. loadWindowsProcessTree now checks that file too and refuses it,
falling back to the CIM scan: slower, but not the thing an EDR quarantines a host
for. The predicate is duplicated rather than imported, because the config-script
copy is install-time tooling that drags in node-gyp and child_process, and this
module is bundled into the app and the relay.

And it returned false for a binary that is not there. All three callers happened
to be safe, but the name read as a safety predicate, so a future caller would take
a missing binary as verified. inspectWindowsProcessTreeAddon() now answers
clean/unpatched/missing over an explicit binary path -- which is also what lets
the relay's staged addon be checked at all -- and each caller states which state
it acts on.

Both are covered by cases that fail against the old code: without the load-time
check the unpatched staged addon is bound and the CIM fallback never runs, and
with 'missing' folded back into 'clean' the absence case fails outright.

* test(windows): load the addon in beforeAll, not at collection time

loadAddon() ran while the file was being collected, so on a Windows checkout with
no built addon the require threw before any case existed and took the seven
patch-text cases down with it -- cases that read only the patch file and need no
binary at all. Verified both ways against a deliberately unresolvable addon path:
at collection time vitest reports "no tests" for the file; from beforeAll the
seven text cases pass and only the three addon cases go.

* fix(deps): normalize the windows-process-tree patch to LF and let pnpm own its hash

`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` failed on this branch on every platform with
ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH, which breaks CI and the release build.

Two coupled defects. The patch file was committed with CRLF -- 174 CR bytes,
against zero on main -- and `.gitattributes` pins `/config/patches/*.patch -text`
precisely so checkout cannot convert it, so those bytes reached every runner. And
pnpm hashes a patch **LF-normalized**, so the raw sha256 of a CRLF file is a value
pnpm never computes:

  raw sha256      322965470c05f63d8527f7d8e892ee26ee444136b66b57fd64c362a9f2ff05d1
  LF-normalized   f8ea245391c94da5770045aeea01fa6de466c2199c6ef46b5b769b398aa9823e

The lockfile carried the raw one, at all three sites. It is the only one of the
seven patches where the two digests differ, which is why the other six passed.

Normalized the patch to LF and took pnpm's own value from
`pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`; nothing here is hand-computed. With the file
LF-only the two interpretations coincide, so the lockfile, the contract test's
no-CR assertion and its hash assertion all agree at one number -- and
`config/scripts/windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs`, which was red on
this branch for the same reason, is green again. The lockfile diff is exactly the
three hash lines.

The regression check is the installer, not a digest. Two separate reviews
"verified" the shipped hash by recomputing sha256(patchBytes) and matching the
lockfile; both were wrong, because both repeated the same wrong assumption about
which bytes pnpm hashes. A check that reproduces the original mistake is not
independent. So the new case runs `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only
--ignore-scripts` against a copy of the manifest, lockfile and patches, and
asserts exit 0 -- verified by deletion: restoring the shipped hash fails it with
the exact ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH from the branch's package (windows)
job.

Also corrected the `.gitattributes` comment claiming pnpm hashes patches
byte-for-byte. The `-text` setting is right -- `git apply` needs the exact bytes --
but that sentence is the claim that produced the wrong hash twice.

* ci(windows): run the process-tree patch suites in CI

Both suites only self-skip off Windows, so the binary-level check that the
addon carries no ReadProcessMemory passed vacuously in every lane.

* fix(windows): force core.autocrlf=input for the patch repair

My LF normalization of the windows-process-tree patch broke the `git apply`
repair path introduced in this PR. The two are coupled and I checked only one.

Those 174 CR bytes were not editor noise. They sat on exactly the pre-image
lines and nowhere else -- 107/107 in src/process.cc, 67/67 in
src/process_commandline.cc, 0 on every added or context line -- because
@vscode/windows-process-tree@0.8.0 ships those two sources as CRLF. Normalizing
the patch made its pre-image stop matching the file it is applied against.

Measured, reconstructing the true CRLF pre-image from the pre-normalization
blob and applying the current LF patch:

  core.autocrlf   plain   -c core.autocrlf=input
  true            exit 0  exit 0
  input           exit 0  exit 0
  false           exit 1  exit 0

`false` is Git's own built-in default and what "checkout as-is" selects in the
Git for Windows installer -- on this box the `true` that hides it comes from the
installer's system gitconfig, not from anything in the repo. There the repair
throws, ensureWindowsProcessTreeCommandLinePatch reports "still reads the PEB,
and repairing it ... failed", isWindowsNativeLockError does not match that text,
and `pnpm install` dies with no path forward.

Forcing the mode rather than `--ignore-whitespace`: both fix every cell and both
leave the applied file fully LF, but `input` relaxes line endings only, so a hunk
whose real content drifted is still rejected. The repair rewrites a
security-relevant source file; it should stay strict about everything except the
thing that is legitimately ambiguous.

Not reverting the patch to CRLF: windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs
(pre-existing on main) forbids CR bytes in it, and pnpm computes the same hash
either way. LF plus the forced mode is the end state.

The suite could not have caught this. The fixture built its pre-image from the
patch itself and joined with '\n', so fixture and patch agreed by construction on
any encoding -- once again a test that passes without its fix. It now emits the
CRLF the real package ships, and the case runs under both autocrlf modes pinned
through a temp HOME gitconfig, because the repair blinds git to the repo and so
reads global config. Verified by deletion in both directions: with the flag
removed the autocrlf=false case fails with the exact "still reads the PEB" dead
end while autocrlf=true still passes, and with the fixture back on LF all eight
cases pass with no fix present at all.

Also corrected the .gitattributes comment I added last commit. It said `git
apply` needs the bytes the patch was written against, which is now false -- the
pinned bytes are LF and the bytes it was written against are CRLF. That is the
same class of confident-and-wrong claim that produced the bad hash twice.

* fix(windows): assert the rebuilt addon, and install the patch for real in tests

Three follow-ups from review.

**The packaged binary had no check.** The relay build asserts its own artifact
and ensure-native-runtime asserts what it loads, but nothing looked at the addon
copied into the packaged app -- so a rebuild that silently produced the upstream
reader shipped. `rebuild-native-deps.mjs` now asserts `clean` on it after
`rebuild()`. This is also the caller D4's tri-state was missing: every existing
site branches on `=== 'unpatched'`, so `missing` still behaved exactly like
`clean` everywhere, which was the thing making it a state rather than a boolean.
Here both non-clean states fail, and they fail differently: after a rebuild that
reported success, an absent binary is a broken build, not an absence to shrug at.

The fake `rebuild()` had to start producing a binary for that to mean anything,
so it now emits stand-in bytes and takes `addon: 'clean' | 'unpatched' | 'none'`.
Verified by deletion: with the assertion removed both new cases pass.

**The frozen-install case could not see a patch at all.** `--lockfile-only`
resolves and never applies one, so its coverage stops at hash consistency. Added
a case that installs `@vscode/windows-process-tree@0.8.0` for real with the patch
and asserts the materialized `src/process_commandline.cc` carries the marker and
no longer carries `ReadProcessMemory` -- about 1.5s for the pair.

Correcting the brief on that one: it does **not** catch the `git apply` breakage
from the previous commit. Measured -- with `-c core.autocrlf=input` removed it
passes cleanly, because `pnpm install` uses pnpm's own patch applier and never
runs our repair script. What it does catch is a patch pnpm can no longer apply:
corrupting one pre-image line fails both cases. The repair path stays covered by
the CRLF fixture in rebuild-native-deps-node-pty.test.mjs.

Worth recording, since it decides whether the LF normalization was safe at all:
pnpm applies the LF patch to the CRLF tarball sources without complaint, and
materializes them as LF with the marker present and `ReadProcessMemory` absent.
The primary install path was never affected -- only the `git apply` fallback was.

**Dead timeout.** The frozen-install case passed `timeoutMs: 300_000` to the
spawn while vitest capped the case itself at 30s, so on a cold runner vitest
would have killed it first. Both cases now declare the budget they use.

* test(windows): route the frozen-install check through the pnpm invocation owner

The new patched-dependencies check hand-rolled a PATH walk naming 'pnpm.cmd',
which the windows batch shim spawn boundary ratchet rejects: pnpm-cli-invocation
already owns that decision for every other script, and its allowlist only
shrinks.

Reuse resolvePnpmCliInvocation for the command and prefixArgs, and the shared
resolveCliCommand for the presence check, so no shim name is spelled here. Its
`shell` flag is dropped because runProcessSync refuses it and already drives a
shim through the interpreter itself.

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 7b530f1eb5 fix(crash-reporting): record Orca-initiated tree kills so a killed renderer is decidable (#18367)
* fix(windows): refuse tree-kills of Orca's own Chromium pids and record the rest

G2 is 20 field reports that share only a symptom. It is at least four
fingerprints: ~15 Windows `reason=killed exitCode=1`, 3 POSIX SIGKILL under
memory pressure (G4-oom), 2 duplicate reports of one macOS V8 Proxy Resolver
SIGKILL, and 1 `0x80000003` install-dir ACL crash (G1; #17740 ships in
v1.4.196 only, not 1.4.195). Nothing here claims to fix all of them.

Two changes:

1. Behaviour. `classifyWindowsTreeKillTarget` returns `own` for any direct
   child of the main process — which our renderer, GPU and network-service
   utility all are — so PTY teardown could `taskkill /T /F` Orca's own UI
   (#10680). Both that classifier and `terminateWindowsProcessTree` now refuse
   any pid Electron is currently accounting for in `getAppMetrics()`.

2. Diagnosis. An Orca-issued kill and an external one are byte-identical in
   every field the crash report records today, so the cluster is undecidable.
   Every main-process force-kill choke point now records a durable
   `self_tree_kill` breadcrumb, and `process_gone` reports carry
   `selfInitiatedTreeKills` naming the pid and its offset from the death.
   A refused kill records `self_tree_kill_refused_own_chromium`, which is
   falsifiable: if it ever shows up in the field, we were the killer.

* fix(crash-reporting): coalesce self-kill breadcrumbs and scope the discriminator

Round-1 review remediation. Three blocking findings, all accepted.

1. Breadcrumb flood (accepted). recordSelfInitiatedTreeKill wrote an
   uncoalesced durable crumb from two routine teardown paths, and the
   reviewer reproduced 12 terminal closes x 3 process groups completely
   evicting the 30-slot ring — including this PR's own refusal crumb — plus a
   forced writeSync per killed group. It now uses the existing
   recordCoalescedDurableCrashBreadcrumb (5s window for pid-addressed
   taskkills, 60s for routine group/job teardown), so a burst costs one ring
   slot and one flush. The refusal crumb is coalesced per victim pid, so a
   retry loop cannot flood while a distinct pid always gets its own crumb.
   Regression test replays the reviewer's exact 12x3 reproduction and asserts
   the refusal crumb and a pre-existing gpu_process_crashed both survive.

2. Undifferentiated count (accepted). posix-process-group and win-pty-job are
   structurally incapable of reaching a Chromium process, and scope was absent
   from the persisted string. Scope is now in every entry
   (`<scope>/<site>/pid<N> +Nms`), and the count is split:
   selfInitiatedTreeKillCount now counts only pid-addressed taskkills — the
   kills that can land on a recycled pid that is now our renderer — with
   pty-scoped sweeps in selfInitiatedGroupKillCount. The list is renamed
   selfInitiatedKills because it carries both, and sorts pid-addressed kills
   first so truncation never drops the discriminating ones for teardown noise.
   The reviewer's repro (routine macOS terminal close + unrelated exit-133
   crash) now yields selfInitiatedTreeKillCount undefined.

3. Recording gaps and a false comment (accepted). New
   admitSelfInitiatedTreeKill gate: it refuses own-Chromium pids and records
   the rest, and all three main-process taskkill families now go through it —
   terminateWindowsProcessTree plus codex-accounts/service.ts and
   claude-accounts (which keep their own spawn lifetimes). The false "single
   taskkill choke point" comment is gone. The runProcess choke point the
   investigation asked for is instrumented via a
   setProcessTreeKillObserver seam in src/shared/child-process — shared code
   runs in the CLI and relay so it cannot import the main breadcrumb store —
   registered in main preflight. The codex app-server POSIX group teardowns
   and the claude POSIX branch record too. The module doc no longer claims
   absence is discriminating: it enumerates what is instrumented and names the
   direct process.kill(-pid) sites that are not.

Non-blocking, also fixed:
- Breadcrumb calls moved out of the try blocks whose catch is the ESRCH
  contract (posix-pty-process-groups, codex teardown, claude POSIX), so a
  throw from the diagnostic path can never be reported as a failed kill.
- Detail truncation now bounds the first entry too, matching its comment.
- own-chromium-tree-kill-refusal.test.ts renamed to
  own-chromium-tree-kill-guard.test.ts, colocated with the module it tests.

Not changed, with reasons:
- Date.now() vs performance.now(): kept. Offsets are computed against
  goneAt = Date.now() in process-gone-recorder; a monotonic clock here would
  make the offsets meaningless. The reviewer verified this and agreed it is
  not a defect.
- app.getAppMetrics() per force-kill remains unbenchmarked. It reads
  in-process browser state rather than enumerating the OS process table, and a
  TTL cache would let a recycled pid slip past the refusal, so it stays
  uncached.
- The ~15 remaining direct process.kill(-pid) sites (browser routes,
  notebooks, automation prechecks, ephemeral VM recipes) are not instrumented.
  Rather than claim coverage this PR does not have, the module doc names them.

claude-command-process.ts crossed the 300-line cap, so terminateClaudeProcess
moved to claude-login-process-termination.ts. No max-lines suppression added.

* fix(crash-reporting): scope the self-kill guard to its real host topology

Round-2 review findings on the own-Chromium tree-kill guard.

BLOCKING 1 — "the own-Chromium refusal is a no-op in the process that issues
the pty-descendant-sweep taskkill". Correct on the mechanism, wrong on the
consequence; REBUTTED in part and documented in full.

Confirmed: the only non-test `setAppEnvironment` installs are
main-process-preflight.ts:177 (Electron) and orcad-entry.ts:84 (Node, whose
`getAppMetrics()` is `[]`); daemon-init-fresh-import.ts is a test harness. So
in the standalone daemon `readOrcaChromiumProcessPids()` is empty and
`admitSelfInitiatedTreeKill` always admits.

But that is not a live hazard. `killWithDescendantSweep` reaches
`terminateWindowsProcessTree` only when `verifyWindowsTreeKillTarget` returns
`own`, and that walks ancestry back to `deps.ownerPid ?? process.pid` — the
KILLING process's pid. In the daemon that is the daemon's pid. Orca's Chromium
processes are children of Electron main, a sibling of the daemon, so their
chain never reaches it: hop 0 lands on main, and within MAX_ANCESTOR_HOPS the
walk dead-ends and returns `foreign`. The reviewer's probe passes
`ownerPid: 1000` with the renderer as a direct child of 1000 — that is the
Electron-main topology, where the AppEnvironment IS installed and the guard DOES
fire, not the daemon's. On an orcad/SSH host there is no Chromium on the box at
all, so `[]` is accurate rather than degraded.

Locked in as tests rather than prose (own-chromium-tree-kill-guard.test.ts):
a renderer classifies `foreign` from a daemon ownerPid with an empty pid set,
and `own` from main's ownerPid with an empty set — the falsifiable pair showing
the pid set is load-bearing in main and nowhere else. Documented the host
coverage in orca-chromium-process-pids.ts and own-chromium-tree-kill-guard.ts.

One genuine hole the finding exposes: `signalProcessTree`'s `taskkillTree` is a
fourth pid-addressed taskkill family (non-blocking item 2), it runs in the
daemon/relay/CLI where the guard cannot run, and it guarded only on
`!child.pid`. Reusing the predicate the codex login teardown already uses, the
win32 branch now refuses a reaped child and falls back to `killRoot` — the same
shape as the existing `!child.pid` branch. That closes the reaped-then-recycled
pid path in every host.

BLOCKING 2 — module doc overstates coverage. Rewritten: the ring is per-process
and its only reader lives in Electron main, so a count on a `render-process-gone`
covers main-issued kills only. Sites are now split into main-only, main-and-
other-hosts (runProcess choke point, POSIX PTY group sweep, Windows Job Object —
which record into a ring nothing reads when they run in the daemon or relay),
and never-instrumented, with the note that a daemon/relay omission is a
diagnostics gap, not a missed suspect, per the topology argument above.

BLOCKING 3 — the three out-of-main instrumentation sites were untested. Added
regression coverage: the runProcess seam on both branches plus the reaped-child
refusal (process-tree-termination.test.ts), the group sweep recording only
groups it actually signalled and skipping an ESRCH group
(posix-pty-process-groups.test.ts), and the Job Object recording the shell pid
only on `terminated` (windows-pty-job.test.ts). Verified red: reverting the
three production files to origin/main fails 7 of the new tests.

BLOCKING 4 — the Windows evidence validates a single-process model. Accepted.
The main2.js arms exercise `pty-descendant-sweep` inside one Electron process;
that models the in-process/degraded daemon and the local PTY provider, not the
standalone daemon. Arm C's "the 449351d6 shape is not producible with the guard"
holds for main-issued kills only. In the daemon the shape is blocked one layer
earlier, by the ancestry check, which the arms do not exercise.

NON-BLOCKING taken: `recordSelfInitiatedTreeKill` moved outside the native
`terminateJob` try in windows-pty-job.ts, so a diagnostics throw can no longer
downgrade a real termination to `unavailable` and escalate callers to a broader
kill; covered by a test. The "all three families" parenthetical is gone with the
doc rewrite. `pnpm build:relay` run: exit 0, all seven targets built.

NON-BLOCKING declined: codex-accounts/service.ts records before the spawn
because a refusal must prevent the spawn — the crumb means "we were about to
kill this pid", which is the artifact worth having; the existing comment already
says so. `app.getAppMetrics()` perf is unbenchmarked and unchanged by this round.

Verification: pnpm tc clean; oxlint clean on touched paths;
check:code-quality:changed 0 new findings; oxfmt applied. 730 tests pass across
shared/child-process, main/crash-reporting, main/pty, main/windows and the guard
and descendant-sweep suites. The 4 failures in providers/git/codex-integration
reproduce on HEAD without these changes.

* fix(crash-reporting): keep the reaped-pid skip from flipping the termination barrier

The win32 hasExited short-circuit correctly avoids taskkill on a pid Windows
may have reissued, but it resolved `true` — verified tree termination. A
taskkill against a reaped pid already resolved `false`, and run-process turns
`true` into barrierTerminationVerified + terminationReporter.report(), which
releases the git admission grant on root exit instead of on `close`. That
admits the next git command while a descendant holding the inherited pipes is
still writing the repo. Resolve `false` so the skip changes only which process
we refuse to signal, not what the barrier claims.

Neil 53f105827b perf(windows): stop asking the process table for memory, and share one projection per snapshot (#18151)
Two costs on the Windows process-table hot path, plus the EDR doc that
described neither of them accurately.

1. The snapshot set `ProcessDataFlag.Memory` and surfaced `memoryBytes`,
   which nothing read. The addon serves that flag with a second
   `OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ)` and a
   `GetProcessMemoryInfo` per process (process.cc:47-63), so the flag was
   one wasted handle per process per snapshot.

2. The shared TTL cache gave every pane the same native rows array, but
   each pane still ran `native.map(toProcessRow)` over the whole table,
   rebuilt a `childrenByPpid` Map from scratch, and did two linear scans.
   The `.map()` also handed `getProcessTableIndex` a new array each call,
   defeating the POSIX memo by construction. Both now cache per snapshot
   identity, and the POSIX resolver drops its duplicate descendant walk.

`getProcessTableIndex` / `buildProcessTableIndex` are generic over the row
shape so the Windows rows reuse the existing pass instead of a parallel one.

No behavior change: same rows in, same rows out, same descendant ordering
and same has-children answers.

Brennan Benson fd9125ea8c feat(native-chat): Codex structured native chat restructure (#16729)
* feat(native-chat): port structured Codex sessions from restructure-recovery

Rebuilds the desktop structured native-chat implementation from
brennanb2025/native-chat-restructure-recovery (tip 4e31c08db3) on top of
current main as a single commit, scoped to the local Codex path.

Ported:
- Structured agent-session core: durable record store + single-writer lease,
  canonical journal, agent-session wire host/attach/eviction/subscribers,
  `agentSession.*` RPC surface (registered via ALL_RPC_METHODS; host-side
  mobile allowlist included for wire compat), pty write gate, transcript
  additions, and the Codex app-server adapter/launch resolution.
- Renderer: NativeChatStructuredSession view/composer stack, structured
  launch path with the single-flight guard, local structured session tabs
  sync, activation gate + structured inventory (read-only
  `agentSession.handoffStatus` probe), agent-session tabs in the tab strip,
  AI-vault structured session activation, and the settings pane with the
  parent Experimental Chat UI toggle plus the nested "Use updated structured
  native chat" toggle. New sessions require both flags, agent codex, no
  prompt, and a local non-WSL, non-Windows-host execution host
  (structured-native-chat-availability).
- Fixes 72c013cea6 (verified Codex launch recovery), 8ddbaf5e3d (defer
  native terminal view switching affordances), and 4e31c08db3 (release the
  launch gate after a visibility retry) with their regression tests,
  including the third-launch-after-retry guard case.
- Cross-version agent-session wire test + CI lane, packaging entries
  (proper-lockfile, agent-tooling asar excludes), and the wire-compat doc
  section.

Deliberately not ported: mobile/ changes, the Claude structured runtime
(only the claude-transcript-branch-proof and claude-structured-owner-identity
leaf modules remain, backing the kept TUI-recovery arms), the terminal↔chat
adoption/handoff flow (`agentSession.adoptTerminal`/`requestHandoff`, the
handoff request engine, TUI adoption machinery, orca-runtime adoption
methods), renderer switching affordances and their dead leftovers, the
hook/subagent-status refactor cluster, and unrelated branch changes. The
crash-during-acquisition recovery path (restart handoff adjudication,
restore/reverse re-acquire, lease schema handoff keys) is kept because every
plain direct launch depends on it; a trimmed handoff coordinator exposes
only status/restore/close.

Branch edits that targeted files main has since split (ipc/pty.ts,
worktrees.ts, rpc/methods/terminal.ts, useIpcEvents, pty-connection,
store/slices/terminals.ts, runtime-types, web preload) were re-applied to
the split modules, preserving main's newer logic (Windows CIM fallback,
browser tab close rework, cold-restore resume flow, dispatcher threading).

Known seam: the mobile clipboard image-provenance CONSUMER gate ships
(agentSession.send refuses unproven mobile image refs with
agent_session_image_untrusted) but the producer hunk in
rpc/methods/clipboard.ts stays with the unported mobile cluster, so mobile
image sends into structured chat fail closed until that side ports.

gyp expands the node-addon-api dependency by probing node, whose cwd
resolves to the package's physical directory in the store, so the emitted
target is a store-relative ../../../../node-addon-api@... hop. gyp then
resolves that hop against the rebuild cwd; from the node_modules
symlink/junction it escapes the store and configure fails with
"node_addon_api.gyp not found" (run 32999886072).

Rebuild from realpath(package dir) so both bases agree, matching how the
package manager itself runs native install scripts. The regression test
replays gyp's expansion+resolution against the planned cwd and fails
without the fix.

* fix(native-chat): keep chat tabs visible through terminal closes and empty-worktree launches

Two proven blockers in the native Codex tab contract:

closeTerminalTab pre-empted the canonical unified close. With one terminal
left it deactivated the worktree on a terminal/editor/browser-only check,
blanking a workspace that still held a renderable agent-session tab; with
two or more it pre-picked a successor from terminal entities only,
re-stamping the group active before closeUnifiedTab's MRU/neighbor repair
could land on the chat tab. Successor choice now defers to the unified
contract whenever the terminal has a unified row, and deactivation is
gated on the unified renderable count (matching leaveWorktreeIfEmpty),
with the legacy pre-pick kept only for terminals without a unified row.

A structured session created on an empty worktree was published into the
host's headless group while preserveLocalLayout froze the local layout,
leaving the tab in store but permanently off screen. A preserveLocalLayout
owner now always takes client-owned placement — repairing a rendered
leaf whose group record is missing, or materializing a rendered group on a
truly empty worktree — and applies the client-derived layout repair while
still rejecting host-authored layout.

Regression tests drive the real store through closeTerminalTab (git
worktree and folder workspace) and the real snapshot applier for the
empty-worktree adoption states; all fail without the fixes.

* fix(native-chat): anchor an unmatched chat echo where it was sent (#16117)

* fix(native-chat): anchor an unmatched chat echo where it was sent

The reported symptom was old user messages replaying below every new turn, so the
conversation read as scrambled. The cause was not that the echo failed to match a
transcript row. Claude consumes a mid-turn send through a `queued_command`
attachment and writes no `type:"user"` record for it, so some echoes can never
match, and no amount of matching will change that. The cause was WHERE an
unmatched echo rendered: buildMobileNativeChatTransientData appended every pending
item after the entire transcript, so it re-read below each turn that landed
afterwards.

Render each echo directly after the transcript row it was sent against, using the
baseline the send already captures. An unmatched echo is then at worst a duplicate
in the right position rather than a scrambled one, and it stays visible. Echoes
sharing an anchor keep send order; a send with no baseline, or one whose anchor
folding dropped, still falls back to the tail.

Deliberately NOT fixed by deleting the echo. Inferring from send ordering that an
echo can never match, then removing it, loses the user's own text for a message
the agent did receive, and it cannot fire in the common case anyway - measured
drain groups are 1,017 of size 1 against 55 larger. It also escalates an existing
gap: the count pass has no baseline-tail guard, unlike the glue pass, while
`messages` is a 40-row window that head-trims, resets on reconnect and grows at
the front on loadEarlier, so a false landing there would license deleting a
DIFFERENT outstanding message.

That count-pass gap is real and left for a separate change; anchoring makes its
worst case a duplicate in place rather than a scrambled conversation.

canUseStructuredNativeChat only refused win32 when a project runtime

local macOS/Linux only; Windows/WSL/SSH stay on terminal chat.

* fix(native-chat): restore runtime refusals behind the win32 gate

506d375de3 replaced the project-runtime checks with a bare platform test,
so a WSL or repair-required runtime resolution would no longer refuse
structured chat off-win32. Keep the unconditional win32 refusal and
re-run the runtime resolution after it, so the gate does not depend on
the resolver's own platform guard. Tests inject WSL and repair-required
resolutions on darwin/linux and fail against the regressed gate.

patch in either form, so the load-bearing build edits come solely from
applyWindowsProcessTreeBuildFixes() (#16947), which handles both source
EOL forms. Restore byte-identity with main and repin the contract test
to the post-#16947 reality: LF-only patch bytes plus lockfile hash sync.

Brennan Benson 7c3bfe72d7 fix(windows): stop a wedged process-table reader retaining a callback per cooldown (#16696)
* fix(windows): stop a wedged process-table reader retaining a callback per cooldown

The vendored reader pushes every callback onto a module-global queue and drains
it only when the request holding its `requestInProgress` latch completes. When a
Toolhelp32 snapshot never comes back, that latch is stuck for the life of the
process, so the 30 s cooldown -- which let one probe through per window --
bounded the rate of new callbacks but not the total: one more closure retained
every 30 s, forever, plus a full 3 s deadline block on whichever caller drew the
probe.

Gate on the outstanding read instead. Once a read misses its deadline and has
not called back, every further read is refused until that read's callback fires,
which bounds retention at exactly one callback. Nothing is given up on recovery:
a probe queued behind the latch could never have observed the drain anyway,
whereas the stuck callback firing IS the drain, so the reader now resumes the
instant it recovers rather than up to 30 s later.

It matters more on a relay, which binds the bare addon with no JS queue to
absorb the retries. Each read there is a `Napi::AsyncWorker`, so a wedged one
holds a libuv threadpool slot for good and one probe per window would have
pinned all four default threads inside ~2 minutes -- hanging every async `fs`
and DNS call in that process, not just the process table.

A wedge still does not engage the PowerShell fallback, and a wedged read still
rejects rather than resolving empty, so "unavailable" stays distinguishable from
"nothing is running" on every host.

Fixes STA-5499.

Neil 19e9ec695b perf(windows): ship the native process table to Windows relay hosts (#16598)
* feat(windows): let a relay host bind the native process table directly

The CIM fallback from #16550 answers on relay hosts, but it costs a
powershell.exe and ~1.4s per scan where the native reader costs ~57ms.
It is a parachute, not the destination.

Teach the loader a second source: the desktop app keeps resolving the
npm package, and a relay host -- which has none of our node_modules --
binds a bare `windows-process-tree.node` staged beside the bundle. The
CIM scan stays as the last resort, so a host with neither is unchanged.

Bind the addon directly rather than its package wrapper. lib/index.js
adds only a queue over getProcessList, and that queue is the wedge this
module already defends against: it latches a module-global
requestInProgress with no try/catch. We hold our own single-flight and
deadline, so going straight to the addon drops the duplicate.

Measured on a Windows 11 SSH host with ~1490 processes, running the
relay-externals bundle from the deployed relay directory:

  no addon staged   nativeAvailable=false  1247ms  (CIM)
  addon staged      nativeAvailable=true     57ms  memory restored

Degradation was exercised on that host, not just in fakes: a truncated
upload, a text file, and a foreign-arch ELF each fall through to the
scan rather than throwing, and restoring a good addon recovers. A file
that loads but lacks getProcessList is rejected by shape, because
binding to it would reject every read forever where falling through
still answers.

No artifact is staged yet, so this is inert until the packaging change
lands: today every relay takes the same CIM path it does now.

* build(relay): ship the Windows process-table addon to relay hosts

The CIM scan restored correctness on Windows SSH hosts, but it costs a
powershell.exe and ~1.4s per read where the native addon costs ~57ms. It
was always the floor, not the destination.

The addon cannot be npm-installed on a relay host: it carries a
binding.gyp, so npm rebuilds from source and the build wants
Spectre-mitigated libraries even where MSVC is already present. The
binary inside the published tarball loads, but predates our patch and
still caps enumeration at 1024 processes -- on a 1486-process host it
returned exactly 1024 rows with the querying process among the missing,
which reads as unavailable only under load. No published alternative
clears the bar either; the one fork with a working prebuild story still
carries the same cap.

So build it where a compiler exists and ship the result. The build script
refuses unpatched source -- checking the source rather than trusting the
install, because the Spectre hunk fails loudly while the 1024 hunk fails
silently -- and verifies the PE machine field so a cross-build cannot
emit host arch for another target.

The artifact is optional: hashed when present so a relay carrying it
never shares an immutable directory with one that does not, and never
probed, since requiring a file only a Windows build machine can produce
would make a correct relay read as MISSING and redeploy forever. Builds
on any other OS keep using the scan, unchanged.

arm64 cross-compiles from the x64 runner but needs the optional MSVC
ARM64 toolset, so it stays best-effort: a runner image without that
component should cost arm64 relays the fast path, not fail the release
the x64 relay is riding on. ORCA_REQUIRE_RELAY_NATIVE_ADDONS is a
per-arch list rather than a flag for exactly that reason.

* build(relay): require the arm64 process-table addon too

The arm64 cross-compile is no longer unproven. On a Windows x64 machine
with the MSVC v143 ARM64 build tools component installed, node-gyp
--arch=arm64 produces a genuine ARM64 image:

  x64    machine=0x8664  152064 bytes
  arm64  machine=0xaa64  139776 bytes

So arm64 stops being best-effort and joins x64 in the required list. It
was only best-effort because the component is optional and I had not seen
it succeed; a runner image without it now fails the build with MSB8020
naming the missing component, and that step runs before the long
packaging step so the failure costs seconds rather than twenty minutes.

The env var stays a per-arch list rather than reverting to a flag, so a
future arch can land best-effort before being promoted the same way.

Neil 7f034a182f docs(windows): correct why the process-tree addon is not installed on relay hosts (#16565)
The note said the package "ships no prebuilds". It does: the published 0.8.0
tarball carries build/Release/windows_process_tree.node, apparently an
accidentally published MSVC build directory (.obj and .tlog files ship with it).
The conclusion was right and the reason was wrong, so record what was actually
measured on a Windows SSH host with 1486 processes.

Installing it normally rebuilds from source, because the tarball carries a
binding.gyp and npm runs node-gyp regardless of what is already compiled inside.
That build fails with MSB8040 (Spectre-mitigated libraries) even on a host that
already has MSVC Build Tools 2022 -- the requirement our binding.gyp patch
deletes, and patches do not cross SSH.

Skipping the build keeps the tarball binary, which loads (it is N-API) but
predates the src/process.cc patch and still caps enumeration at 1024. On that
host it returned exactly 1024 rows with the querying process among the missing,
which the self-presence guard rejects -- so it would work on a quiet machine and
fail only under load, the shape of bug that survives testing.

Also records the measured cost of the fallback, since the table's 706ms figure
is from a 1050-process host and reads as more headroom than there is, and names
the fix for the tracked gap: ship our own patched .node as a relay asset, as
config/relay-assets already does for node-pty.

Pin to v1.4.184 to ensure consistent testing against the release
predating client placement. This avoids coupling the legacy-baseline
bump to unrelated schema refactors in newer versions.

an inaccessible but live process. Only ESRCH (process not found) proves
exit. Correct isAlive() to distinguish these cases.

Neil 2b1254d681 fix(windows): own PTY process trees with job objects (#15755)
* fix(windows): own PTY process trees with job objects

Teardown used to answer 'is this tree mine, and how do I kill it?' by
scraping the process table, walking parent pids back to Orca, and running
taskkill /T /F only if the walk said yes. Every step is a guess, and the
code said so itself: windows-pty-root-identity.ts:35 already named the
fix -- 'an inherited handle / Job Object'.

The guesses fail in the ways users report. A pid walk cannot survive pid
reuse, so teardown refused whenever it could not prove ownership, and a
refused kill is an orphaned agent tree holding the worktree directory
open (#9045, #10475, #10087). A descendant that reparented is invisible
to the walk. The scrape itself could be blocked by policy, which read as
'no evidence'.

node-pty now creates a job object per ConPTY and assigns the shell under
CREATE_SUSPENDED, before it can spawn anything -- assigning afterwards
leaves a window in which a fast child escapes. Termination is one
TerminateJobObject; liveness is QueryInformationJobObject.

Verified on Windows 11 against a shell whose grandchild was spawned
detached: job membership came back [shell, grandchild] and one call
killed both. Neither a parent-pid walk nor GetConsoleProcessList sees
that grandchild -- it leaves the console and reparents, which is exactly
the claude.exe/node.exe/cmd.exe orphan in #9045.

KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE means a daemon that dies without unwinding no longer
strands shells (#9195, #10415). The job is the daemon's, not the app's,
so an app-main crash still leaves sessions alive -- the guarantee
win-crash-survival-e2e asserts.

Both entry points report unavailable rather than a false success when a
pty has no job: an outer job without BREAKAWAY_OK can refuse the
assignment, and a pty from an older build has none. Reading 'we could
not tell' as 'already dead' is the original bug, so the old probe stays
as the fallback.

* test(windows): pin job ownership against a real detached grandchild

The unit tests pin the contract; this pins what the contract is for. A
grandchild spawned detached leaves the pane's console and reparents, so
GetConsoleProcessList and a parent-pid walk both miss it -- that is the
process that outlived its pane and held the worktree directory open.

Includes a guard that this build actually has job support, so a node-pty
rebuilt from unpatched sources fails loudly instead of letting every
assertion pass vacuously.

* fix(windows): correct the job liveness contract to what Windows actually does

I claimed an emptied tree would report [] and that this was the evidence
a stale registry entry lacks (#15549). Running it on Windows 11 showed
otherwise: node-pty drops its handle record and closes the job when the
shell exits, so a dead tree reports null.

Null therefore means unverifiable in the sense of
docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md -- no job support, not a ConPTY,
or no longer tracked -- and is never evidence that processes died. A
caller reading it as proof of death would have been right by accident
after a normal exit and wrong on a host that refused the assignment.

What the API does add is descendant liveness for a tree that is still
tracked, including children that detached from the console.

* fix(windows): stop a clean shell exit from reaping backgrounded processes

Measured on Windows 11: with JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE on the
per-PTY job, releasing the handle when the shell exits also killed
whatever the user had backgrounded. Typing 'exit' in a pane reaped a
detached server that survived before this patch.

That is a behaviour change nobody asked for. The approved change was
that killing the terminal daemon reaps its shells -- not that a clean
exit reaps your background job. The job's purpose is to make an EXPLICIT
teardown exact, which TerminateJobObject still does.

Reaping a dead daemon's shells now needs the daemon-level job the design
called for: the daemon assigns itself, children inherit membership, and
its closure on daemon death reaps them without touching clean-exit
semantics. Not in this PR; noted in the reference doc.

* test(windows): pin that a clean exit leaves backgrounded work alone

The counterpart to the tree-kill test. Without it, re-adding
JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE would look like a tightening rather
than the regression it is.

* fix(windows): stop a winpty pty id from matching a ConPTY job

winpty.cc and conpty.cc each mint their 'pty' id from an independent
counter, and windowsPtyAgent stores both in the same _pty field. So a
winpty-backed terminal's id can collide with a live ConPTY baton -- and
closing that pane would have terminated an unrelated pane's entire
process tree.

Both job entry points now take the shell pid and the native side refuses
unless GetProcessId(hShell) matches, which makes the id unforgeable.

Two more from the same read-through:
- ResumeThread's failure was ignored. A shell left suspended is a pane
  that never prints and never exits, which is far harder to diagnose
  than a failed spawn; it now cleans up and throws.
- handle->hJob was assigned before LoadConptyDll, which can throw. A
  baton carrying a job but never reaching SetupExitCallback has nothing
  left to close it, so the assignment moved down beside hShell.

* docs(windows): record the unsynchronised node-pty baton table

Pre-existing upstream -- the exit thread erases while the main thread
reads -- but terminatePtyJob adds an instance of it, so it belongs in
writing rather than in someone's head.

* fix(windows): close four gaps found in review

BREAKAWAY. The per-PTY job set no limits, so a child asking for
CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB was refused with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
Installers, msiexec and some updater and service-control paths spawn
that way deliberately -- they worked before this patch and would have
failed only inside an Orca terminal, which is the worst shape a bug
report can take. JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_BREAKAWAY_OK restores it; a child
still has to ask, so ordinary descendants stay owned.

EMPTY IS NOT UNAVAILABLE. The native reader returns an empty list --
not an error -- when CreateToolhelp32Snapshot fails, which is what an
EDR hook or a restricted token produces. Callers read that as 'nothing
is running' and teardown concludes a live PTY root is already gone. The
snapshot must contain the querying process; nothing else is
unfalsifiable, and one predicate catches empty, truncated and
permission-filtered tables alike.

NO DEADLINE. Replacing execFile dropped its 3s timeout. The vendored
reader latches a module-global while a request is in flight and clears
it only after draining its callbacks, with no try/catch -- so one wedge
leaves every later call queued behind a promise that never settles, and
the process table is dead for the life of the app. The bound is back.

GUESSED IMAGE PATH. executablePath was derived from the first
space-delimited token, which reads 'C:\Program' out of an unquoted
'C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe ...'. Wrong evidence is worse than
none, and the only consumer already had the full path in , so
the field is gone rather than repaired.

Also: remove_pty_baton no longer sits inside assert(), which NDEBUG
would compile away along with the call, and the job accessors hold a
lock across lookup and use -- handle values are recycled, so an
unguarded read could pass the shell-pid check against an unrelated
process and terminate the wrong job.

* fix(windows): apply the job lock once per accessor

The patch script matched a string its own replacement still contained, so
PtyTerminateJob got two lock_guards named guard and PtyListJobProcessIds
got none. MSVC caught it: error C2374 redefinition.

* test(windows): pin that a child can still break away from the job

Verified on Windows 11: 'start /b' writes its marker and no access-denied
appears. Without JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_BREAKAWAY_OK this fails, and it fails
only inside an Orca terminal -- so the failure would look like Orca
corrupting unrelated software rather than like a job-object change.

* fix(windows): stop the ownership guard from reading a closing handle

The guard called GetProcessId(hShell) to prove identity, but the exit
watcher closes hShell on another thread -- so the guard could read a
closed handle, and under strict handle checks that is fatal rather than
merely wrong. Worse, it widened the gap between validating hJob and
using it from two instructions to a kernel round-trip, and handle values
recycle: the likeliest occupant of a freshly recycled value in this
process is another pane's job.

The pid never needed a handle. It is captured at spawn and compared as a
DWORD, so the guard touches no handle at all, and hShell is now closed
inside the same lock as hJob.

Also from review:
- reject CR/LF in a cmd argument. cmd ends the command at a raw line
  break whatever the quote state, so there is no escape for it; encoding
  one anyway truncates the argument and can leave the remainder to run
  as a command. Agent prompts are this encoder's motivating input.
- ask the process table only for the fields a caller needs. Memory and
  CommandLine each cost an OpenProcess per process, inline, for every
  process on the box -- and the 1024 bound is patched out. Ancestry
  reads now skip both.
- corpus gains the degenerate quote-only and two-quote arguments.
- PtyListJobProcessIds' docblock still taught the empty-list contract
  that was corrected on the TS side, and now records that the ConPTY
  console host is never a job member.
- drop a write to NumberOfAssignedProcesses, which is output-only.
- pty_baton::hShell is initialised; ownsShell was only safe because &&
  short-circuited ahead of it.

The backgrounded-child test is rescoped: 'start /b' uses
CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE, not CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB, so it proves job
membership does not block backgrounding -- not that BREAKAWAY_OK works.
That flag rests on the Win32 contract, and I have said so rather than
letting the test imply coverage it does not have.

* fix(windows): bound retries after the process table wedges

The 3s deadline stops a caller hanging, but the timed-out call leaves its
callback in the vendored module's queue -- and that queue drains only
when the latched request completes, which in this wedge never happens.
Retrying at the caller's poll rate would add a closure per tick forever.
A 30s cooldown bounds it to one probe, and a late callback clears the
cooldown because it proves the reader recovered.

Also pins the deadlock invariant in the patch: the exit thread's lock
must close before tsfn.BlockingCall, because that waits on the JS thread
and the JS thread can be waiting on the same mutex inside
PtyTerminateJob. Correct today by scoping; a comment so a later refactor
does not widen it.

* revert(windows): drop the field-selection API, which cannot pay off

I added it for a real perf finding -- Memory and CommandLine each cost an
OpenProcess per process -- and then never wired a caller, so the claim
that ancestry reads skip them was wrong.

Wiring it would have been worse than leaving it dead. The only ancestry
consumer is the teardown identity probe, which needs a snapshot that
started AFTER it asked, for pid-recycle detection. Bypassing the shared
reader to get narrow fields would let that request join a scan already in
flight -- trading a correctness guarantee for milliseconds.

Field selection only pays off if callers can ask for less, and they
cannot: one shared snapshot serves every caller so a 32-wide teardown
collapses into a single scan, which means it has to carry every field.
The reasoning now lives next to the flags instead of in a dead export.

* fix(process): three P1s from review — a crash vector and two wedge bugs

STDIN EPIPE COULD TAKE DOWN THE MAIN PROCESS. A child that exits without
reading makes the queued write fail with EPIPE, and an unhandled error on
a stream is an uncaught exception. The child's own error listener does
not cover its stdin stream, so runProcess({ input }) against a
short-lived child was a crash, not a failed call.

THE COOLDOWN LEAKED A BATCH PER CYCLE INSTEAD OF BOUNDING IT. At expiry
every concurrent caller passed the check before any of them re-armed it,
so each enqueued a callback into the still-latched native queue and each
cycle leaked another batch. The cooldown is now re-armed BEFORE probing,
so exactly one caller gets through.

A SYNCHRONOUS THROW LEFT ITS DEADLINE RUNNING. The timer was declared
inside the try, so catch could not clear it; it fired later and wedged a
reader that had already recovered. Hoisted and cleared, and wedge state
now carries a generation so a request that lost its deadline cannot
mutate it on behalf of the one that replaced it.

Found by review once the prompts were short enough for the reviewer to
finish -- the previous two rounds died on prompt length.

* fix(process): stop a stream error from crashing the main process

Same class as the stdin EPIPE finding, two instances further on: stdout
and stderr had data listeners and no error listeners, and an unhandled
error on a stream is an uncaught exception.

Scoped to runProcess, which owns the child outright. spawnProcess hands
the streams to its caller, and a blanket handler there defeats callers
that track and remove their own listeners -- the SSH ProxyCommand
transport does exactly that, and its cleanup test caught the attempt.
Documented on spawnProcess so the boundary is explicit rather than
inferred.

* fix(windows): validate the ConPTY DLL before creating the process

LoadConptyDll throws when conpty.dll is missing -- a real state, and one
this branch hit during development. It ran after CreateProcessW and
ResumeThread but before the baton and the exit watcher were installed,
so a throw leaked the job, process and thread handles and left an
untracked shell tree running. Once per attempt, so a broken install
accumulates orphan shells on every retry.

Resolving the DLL first costs nothing and leaves exactly two throws
after creation: the CreateProcessW failure, where nothing exists yet,
and the resume failure, which already cleans up after itself.

This also closes the same leak for hProcess and hThread, which predates
the job work.

* feat(windows): add the daemon-level job the design called for

The plan specified two nested jobs and I built one. That gap is why
dropping KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE from the per-PTY job cost the approved
guarantee that a dead daemon reaps its shells -- I had one job trying to
answer two questions, and the two answers conflict.

They are separate jobs. The per-PTY job answers 'kill exactly this
pane's tree, now', and cannot be kill-on-close because its handle is
released when the shell exits, which would reap whatever the user
backgrounded. The daemon assigns itself to a second job that IS
kill-on-close; its handle is released only when the daemon dies.
Children inherit membership, so every pty is covered and the per-PTY
jobs nest inside it.

Daemon, never app: an app-main crash must still leave sessions alive,
which win-crash-survival-e2e asserts. Both jobs carry BREAKAWAY_OK, or a
child asking to break away is refused at whichever level lacks it.

Restores #9195 and #10415, which I withdrew from this PR earlier.

* docs(windows): record what the host job does not cover

An app-hosted PTY gets a per-PTY job but no crash reaping, because the
alternative is a kill-on-close job on the app -- which is precisely what
the crash-survival guarantee forbids.

* ci(windows): run the win32 suites in the PR windows job

Both were skip-on-non-win32 and had only ever run on one machine I drive
by hand -- which went unreachable at exactly the moment I needed to
verify the percent-escaping fix. Verification that depends on one box is
not verification.

The job already builds node-pty from patched source and already runs a
useConptyDll test, so the ConPTY runtime files are in place by this
step. This also makes the encoder a gate: the corpus is the only thing
standing between an agent prompt and a mangled argv, and it now runs
against real cmd.exe on every PR.

* fix(deps): refresh the lockfile for the current patch hashes

pnpm records a hash per patched dependency, and I regenerated both
patches repeatedly across the review rounds without refreshing the
lockfile. Every local run used --frozen-lockfile's looser sibling, so
nothing caught it until CI did:

  ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH  Cannot proceed with the frozen
  installation. The current "patchedDependencies" configuration doesn't
  match the value found in the lockfile

Verified with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile locally this time.

* ci(windows): build node-pty from source before the win32 suites

CI proved the encoder fix on real cmd.exe -- 26/26 -- and in the same run
proved the job suite had been testing an unpatched binary. node-pty
prefers its upstream prebuild, which does not contain this patch, so
every job-object export was absent and isPtyJobOwnershipAvailable() was
false.

That guard is why the failure was loud rather than a vacuous pass, and
it is the reason the assertion exists.

Packaging was never affected: rebuild-native-deps.mjs already builds
node-pty from source for Electron and restores the ConPTY runtime files.
The gap was the node-runtime test environment only.

Not changing requiresPatchedNodePtySourceBuild's win32 exemption here.
Its premise -- that the patch is Unix-only -- is now false, but lifting
it also needs pnpm rebuild to force a source build, and I cannot
validate that on macOS and Linux from here. Recorded as a follow-up
instead of changed blind.

* test(windows): gate the host-job guarantee in CI

The daemon-level job had one hand-run proof and no automated coverage --
the same shape of gap that let an unpatched node-pty go unnoticed until
CI caught it.

It needs a real second process, because the assertion is about what
happens when that process is force-killed: a host in a kill-on-close job
must strand neither its pty nor a grandchild spawned detached, which is
the process a parent-pid walk cannot see.

Runs in the Windows PR job alongside the per-pty and encoder suites, so
both halves of the two-job design are now gated rather than asserted.

* fix(windows): serialise host-job creation

Two callers racing PtyAssignCurrentProcessToJob would each create a job,
put the process in both, and leak the first handle -- and the handle is
what keeps a kill-on-close job alive, so a leaked one is never released.
'Only JS calls it' is not a guarantee: a worker thread with its own
N-API env shares these statics.

Also records the ordering requirement it depends on.
AssignProcessToJobObject adds only the named process; children inherit
membership, but a pty that already exists does not join retroactively
and would not be reaped. The daemon assigns at startup, before the
ConPTY warmup and before any session, which is correct today and now
stated rather than implied.

* fix(daemon): keep the host job off the startup path

Assigning the host job at daemon startup resolves the node-pty native
module, which loads the ConPTY addon -- and paying that before the
endpoint is published delayed readiness enough that daemon-boot-smoke
failed on windows-latest, deterministically.

windows-conpty-warmup already carries the comment for this exact
hazard ('setImmediate keeps the ready/handshake path ahead of the
warm-up') and I put an eager load in front of it anyway.

Moved to the pty spawn path, which already pays ConPTY cost, and
memoised. Children inherit job membership, so assigning immediately
before the first spawn still covers every pty -- and nothing can spawn
one before the endpoint exists.

Neil 057fbfcffc perf(windows): read the process table natively instead of forking PowerShell (#15749)
* perf(windows): read the process table natively instead of forking PowerShell

Seven independent readers each forked powershell.exe to run
Get-CimInstance Win32_Process, with a wmic fallback that Windows 11 24H2
has removed. On a domain-joined host with PowerShell Transcription
enabled by policy, one of them running every ~2s recorded ~289GB across
1.4 million files (#15209). The same scan cost ~700ms and ran per pane
(#15036), and a Group Policy or AV block turned it into 'unavailable',
which callers read as 'no evidence' -- which is how a PTY tree survives
its own teardown (#9045, #10475).

A Toolhelp32 snapshot answers the same question with no child process.
Measured on Windows 11 with 1050 processes, p50/p95:

  pid+ppid+name          15.9 / 17.5 ms
  +memory +command line  30.6 / 33.7 ms
  Get-CimInstance         706 / 723  ms

Two upstream defects needed patching, both found by running it on real
hardware. The binding requires Spectre-mitigated libraries our agents do
not carry (node-pty is patched the same way). And enumeration stopped
after 1024 processes: on a host with 1051 the module returned exactly
1024, and the querying process was itself among the 27 missing -- a
truncated snapshot silently hides the descendants teardown is looking
for, which is the failure this whole change exists to remove.

Migrated: the foreground/descendant reader (the #15209 scraper and the
teardown identity gate) and the port scanner's PID attribution. NOT
migrated: the memory collector and three identity probes, which need
Win32_Process.CreationDate and have no native equivalent. Start time is
a proxy for identity anyway; an inherited job handle is the real answer,
so those belong with the job-object work rather than here.

Packaging follows the windows-native-registry contract exactly:
optional, absent from onlyBuiltDependencies so macOS/Linux never run
node-gyp, win32-only in the packaged runtime. Asserted by the existing
contract test, which also stops pinning a whole source literal that only
tested its own formatting.

* chore(process): ratchet the child_process allowlist down

windows-foreground-process-rows.ts no longer spawns anything, so its
allowlist line is stale. The guard fails on a stale entry as well as a
new one, precisely so a migrated file cannot keep a slot open and hide
the next regression in the same path.

* fix(ports): import the process-table reader the scanner uses

Missing import: the migration replaced the PowerShell call but the new
symbol was never imported, so tsc failed. Vitest transpiles without
typechecking, which is why the port-scanner suite stayed green.

* fix(deps): sync this branch's lockfile with its patch set

Same class as the fix on the tip branch: pnpm records a hash per patched
dependency, and this branch introduces the windows-process-tree patch
without its lockfile entry matching. Every job here failed at install
with ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH.

Verified with --frozen-lockfile, which is what CI runs and what my local
runs were not.

* test(relay): drive the relay's Windows fixtures from the native snapshot

Two relay cases fed a PowerShell CIM payload through a mocked execFile.
That reader is gone, so both failed -- deterministically, on every PR
run for this branch and the one above it.

I did not catch it because my own verification sweep was
'src/main src/shared config/scripts' and never included src/relay. The
relay is a first-class consumer of the process table; leaving it out of
the sweep is how a deterministic failure survived six review rounds.
