* fix(runtime): preserve terminals during headless desktop activation
* rm design doc
* Fix desktop activation launch ordering and blocked-window status resolut
- Check desktopWindowStatus before spawning the Orca app so a blocked
runtime no longer launches a doomed second instance.
- Reuse resolveDesktopWindowStatus for remote runtime status so it
honors the same authoritativeWindowId fallback as local status.
- Re-check the authoritative window at spawn time instead of trusting
a possibly-stale snapshot, since it can be destroyed mid-await.
- Harden the e2e activation spec against silent spawn failures.

* fix(linear): guard mixed-version RPC filtering
* fix(linear): surface filter capability failures correctly
Prevent capability checks from pinning to rejected compatibility cache
entries, and rethrow typed attribute-filter unsupported errors from the
Linear store so TaskPage can show an upgrade message instead of an empty
filtered list.
* fix(runtime): refresh cached capability verdicts
* test(linear): mock isLinearIssueAttributeFilterUnsupportedError
Prevents the invalidation slice test from failing after the runtime
client gained this export, which was otherwise undefined in the mock.
* Fix cold-cache capability probes firing duplicate status.get calls
Coalesce concurrent status.get requests for the same environment by
publishing the in-flight probe to the compatibility cache before
awaiting it, so parallel capability checks share one RPC call. On
failure, drop the cache entry immediately since this probe always
re-fetches and must not leave a stale cached verdict.
* feat(cli): make the CLI self-correcting and self-describing for agents
Agents build a generalized model of how CLIs work and apply it to every
tool. When orca diverged — `rm` where git uses `remove` — a reasonable
first guess (`orca worktree remove`) dead-ended on a bare "Unknown
command" with no path forward. This makes the CLI degrade gracefully when
the orca-cli skill isn't loaded in context.
- First-class CommandSpec.aliases, resolved to the canonical path before
dispatch (no new handler registrations). `worktree remove`/`delete` now
resolve to `rm`; the ad-hoc `terminal focus` duplicate spec/handler is
migrated onto the mechanism.
- Did-you-mean suggestions on unknown commands and unknown flags, ranked
by edit distance over the live registry, surfaced in both stderr and
--json error.data (reusing the existing nextSteps channel).
- `orca agent-context [--json]`: a versioned, machine-readable dump of the
command schema. Pure local read (no RPC), so it works over SSH and when
the app isn't running.
- CI guards: specs<->handlers parity, and a vocabulary policy that fails
on new off-policy deletion/read verbs (existing ones grandfathered).
* Address PR review feedback (#6303)
- agent-context now emits each command's effective flag set (globals +
conditional --page), not just allowedFlags, so the schema no longer
under-reports --json/--help. Shared as effectiveAllowedFlags() between
validation and the schema.
- Collision check now covers alias paths too, so a duplicate alias that
would silently shadow a real command fails the build.
* fix(cli): harden agent recovery and introspection

* chore(lint): upgrade oxlint to 1.71 and enable 7 new rules
Upgrade oxlint 1.67.0 -> 1.71.0 (1.72 was blocked by the repo's 3-day
minimum-release-age supply-chain guard; nothing here needs it). The
bump is a no-op on the existing config.
Enable 3 error rules (backlog autofixed to zero in this commit) and
4 warn rules (surface signal without gating CI):
error (autofixed, behavior-preserving):
- unicorn/prefer-node-protocol (~1531 sites: bare builtin -> node:)
- typescript/no-import-type-side-effects (~36: all-inline-type -> import type)
- unicorn/no-array-reverse (19: copy-then-reverse -> toReversed)
warn (real signal, current fires are test-only/correct):
- unicorn/no-array-fill-with-reference-type (aliasing footgun guard)
- typescript/no-unsafe-function-type (bans bare Function type)
- unicorn/prefer-array-flat-map (map().flat() -> flatMap())
- unicorn/prefer-regexp-test (.match() in bool ctx -> .test())
mobile/.oxlintrc.json extends root, so it inherits all 7; the autofix
ran from root and covered mobile/ too.
Verification (all green): oxlint 0 errors (root+mobile+aux configs),
oxfmt clean, typecheck (node+cli+web), vitest 22795 passed / 0 failed,
builds (electron-vite + web + cli) succeed. node: rewrites confirmed to
skip embedded SSH/CLI string payloads (AST-only); all toReversed sites
verified to operate on fresh copies or write-once locals.
* chore(lint): bump mobile oxlint to 1.71 so inherited rules parse
mobile/ is a standalone pnpm project pinning its own oxlint@1.67, which
lacks unicorn/no-array-fill-with-reference-type (needs >=1.70). Since
mobile/.oxlintrc.json extends the root config, mobile CI's 'cd mobile &&
oxlint' failed to parse the new rule. Bump mobile to match root (1.71).
Verified in mobile/: oxlint 0 errors, oxfmt --check clean, tsc --noEmit
pass, vitest 978 passed / 0 failed.

sendRequest handled the socket's 'error', 'data', and 'connect' events but
never 'close'. A clean peer close (FIN, no error) before a terminal frame —
e.g. the runtime crashing or closing the connection mid-request — left the
promise unsettled until the full timeout fired: 60s by default, up to 10min
once keepalive frames had refreshed the client-side timer.
Add a socket.once('close', ...) that rejects with runtime_unavailable when
the socket closes before a terminal frame settles the request. finish()
already guards against double-settle, so this no-ops on the normal
success/error paths that call socket.end().
* feat(orchestration): transport keepalive + delivered_at split for check --wait
Implements the four §3 fixes from the check-wait design doc:
- §3.1 Transport keepalive: long-poll RPCs (orchestration.check --wait) emit
`{"_keepalive":true}` frames every 10s so neither server nor client tears
the socket down on idle. A `longPoll` admission counter capped at 16 fails
fast with `runtime_busy` when saturated; an AbortController wired through
the RPC dispatcher cancels the inner waiter the moment the socket closes.
- §3.2 delivered_at split: push-on-idle now stamps `delivered_at` instead of
flipping `read`, so the check caller remains the sole consumer of its
queue. Adds a synchronous idempotent schema migration that hard-fails on
error.
- §3.3 inbox/check parity: `orchestration inbox --terminal <handle>` and
`orchestration check --all` agree on the same rows (sequence DESC, no
mark-read). `check --unread=false` kept for one release as a compat shim.
- §3.4 CLI heartbeat: `orca orchestration check --wait` emits JSON heartbeat
lines to stderr every 15s so Claude Code's Bash tool sees continuous
output and doesn't auto-background the subprocess.
Tests: extends runtime-rpc, orca-runtime, envelope-schema, orchestration
method, and formatter suites; adds a subprocess test that spawns the built
CLI and verifies stderr line-flushing, heartbeat cadence, and stdout
cleanliness end-to-end.

* feat(orchestration): preamble rules + heartbeat schema
- Preamble (#7, #15, #9): worker_done body ("3-sentence summary" + reportPath),
BEHAVIOR RULE #1 forbidding AskUserQuestion, heartbeat every 5 minutes with
taskId+dispatchId payload, AFTER YOU SEND grace window.
- Schema v2 migration: adds 'heartbeat' to messages.type CHECK, adds
dispatch_contexts.last_heartbeat_at, gated by user_version PRAGMA with
transactional rebuild + explicit CREATE INDEX to avoid silent perf regress.
- DB helpers: recordHeartbeat (dispatched-only), getStaleDispatches,
getThreadMessagesFor (thread+handle scoped for ask).

* feat(orchestration): coordinator heartbeat + stale detector
Handle incoming 'heartbeat' messages by calling recordHeartbeat keyed on
payload.dispatchId (strict — log-and-skip if missing, no taskId fallback so
a straggler heartbeat from a previously-failed dispatch cannot mask a hung
retry per §5.3.4). On every tick after the 10-minute threshold, emit one
log per stale dispatched row — no auto-fail.
Also threads dispatchId through buildDispatchPreamble so workers can
attribute their heartbeats back to the correct dispatch context.

* feat(orchestration): orca orchestration ask verb
Adds a CLI verb that sends a decision_gate message and blocks on the
coordinator's reply, scoped to the outbound message's thread. Group
addresses (@all, @idle, …) are rejected — fan-out questions must use
send --type decision_gate explicitly.
--json emits bare single-line JSON (bypassing printResult) so workers can
pipe `orca orchestration ask … --json | jq -r .answer` without unwrapping
an RPC envelope; human mode prints just the answer. On timeout the verb
exits 1 and returns {answer: null, timedOut: true}.
This is the CLI surface BEHAVIOR RULE #1 in the dispatch preamble points
workers at instead of AskUserQuestion.

* feat(orchestration): QoL bundle — preamble visibility, status enum, dispatch cross-ref, inbox --full
Addresses four items from ORCHESTRATOR_FEEDBACK:
- #5 preamble visibility: `dispatch-show --preamble` regenerates the preamble
text for a task; `dispatch --inject --dry-run` previews without mutating
state; `dispatch --return-preamble` echoes the injected preamble in the JSON
response so coordinators can audit what a worker received.
- #6 status enum validation: CLI rejects unknown `task-update --status` values
with `invalid status '<x>', expected one of: pending, ready, dispatched,
completed, failed, blocked` before the RPC's generic Zod message. Valid
statuses are listed under Notes in `task-update --help`.
- #13 task-list dispatch cross-ref: `task-list --json` now includes
`assignee_handle` and `dispatch_id` for tasks in status=dispatched via a
read-only LEFT JOIN on dispatch_contexts. Non-dispatched rows keep their
legacy shape so existing consumers are unaffected.
- #14 inbox body visibility: `inbox --full` prints body + payload verbatim;
default output is unchanged (id/from/to/subject only).
No DB migrations; join-only change on dispatch_contexts so the sibling
preamble PR's `last_heartbeat_at` column addition will not conflict.

* fix(worktree): prevent stale-base worktree creation and dispatch
Addresses feedback #16 per DESIGN_DOC_STALE_BASE_FIX.md §0. Four v1
components coordinated by a single shared fetch cache on the runtime:
1. Concurrent-fetch-with-gate in UI create path: `createLocalWorktree`
fires `git fetch` BEFORE the suffix loop / PR probe / path
resolution, then awaits right before `addWorktree` so the new branch
always spawns from a fresh remote tip. Renderer sees a two-phase
spinner via the new `createWorktree:progress` IPC event. The cache
is a `Map<repoPath::remote, Promise<void>>` + 30s success-only
timestamp on `OrcaRuntimeService` (§7.1 — shared with dispatch).
2. Dispatch pre-flight drift guard in `Coordinator.dispatchTask`:
probes `rev-list --left-right --count` against the target worktree
and silently returns (preserves `ready`, no circuit-breaker burn)
when `behind > 20` unless the task spec carries
`allow-stale-base: true`. Parsing strips the flag so it never leaks
into the worker's `--- TASK ---` block.
3. Preamble drift section: populated only when dispatch detected drift.
Workers see `--- BASE DRIFT ---` with the N-most-recent subjects
they don't have, so they can pull them in before running.
4. §3.3 Lifecycle: `.finally()` evicts Map entries on BOTH success and
rejection; timestamp is written ONLY on success. Prevents a single
DNS hiccup from wedging every future create on the repo until
restart, and keeps the freshness window honest.
Defers the DB `allow_stale_base` column (§0.2) and the create-time
warn toast; both can layer in later without migration.
Tests: 35 new/updated unit tests covering drift preamble, dispatch
refusal, spec-text flag parsing, fetch Map eviction after rejection,
freshness-window short-circuit, and concurrent-caller serialization.

* test(orchestration): seed v2 DB in migration hard-fail test
After consolidating the schema bump, fresh DBs are initialized directly at
v3 via createTables(), so the v2→v3 ALTER TABLE is skipped on new installs
and the prior test's stub never fired. Seed a v2-shape file on disk so the
guarded ALTER actually runs and the "simulated migration failure" stub
propagates as intended.

* refactor(cli): split runtime-client.ts into runtime/ subsystem
Break the 413-line src/cli/runtime-client.ts into focused modules under
src/cli/runtime/:
- types.ts — RuntimeRpcSuccess/Failure, RuntimeClientError,
RuntimeRpcFailureError
- metadata.ts — readMetadata / tryReadMetadata /
getDefaultUserDataPath
- transport.ts — sendRequest: Unix-socket newline-framed JSON with
id and runtimeId verification and timeout handling
- status.ts — getCliStatus + buildCliStatusResponse +
isProcessRunning
- launch.ts — launchOrcaApp + macOS .app-bundle resolution +
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE env handling
- client.ts — RuntimeClient class, now a thin composer
- index.ts — subsystem barrel
runtime-client.ts becomes a backward-compat re-export barrel so
src/cli/index.ts and the existing tests import the same symbols from
the same path. No behavior changes.
Motivation: the file had an eslint-disable max-lines override and
mixed five concerns (envelope types, wire transport, metadata I/O,
status aggregation, cross-platform app launch). Splitting them makes
each concern independently testable and unblocks adding schema
validation at the RPC boundary.
* feat(cli): validate runtime RPC envelope with Zod at decode boundary
Add RuntimeRpcEnvelopeSchema and apply it inside sendRequest so every
response frame is validated against the id/ok/result/error/_meta shape
before the CLI hands it to the caller. The payload (`result`) is left
as unknown — the TResult generic remains the caller's responsibility —
so only the envelope itself is the contract this schema enforces.
Motivation: the CLI and the Orca main runtime are separate processes
and can drift in version (older CLI vs newer app, or vice versa during
dev HMR). A malformed or partial frame used to risk mis-typed field
access downstream; it now surfaces as a single structured
`invalid_runtime_response` error.
Behavior:
- Well-formed success and failure frames continue to decode unchanged.
- Failure frames without `_meta` are accepted (the runtime may fail
before resolving its own runtimeId).
- Valid JSON that does not match the envelope shape now rejects with
`invalid_runtime_response`, matching the existing error code for
non-JSON frames.
Tests: adds a pure schema test file
(src/cli/runtime/envelope-schema.test.ts) covering accept/reject cases.
The existing integration tests in runtime-client.test.ts continue to
pass unchanged.
