Wake idle Run coordinators with durable orchestration mail pointers while keeping message payloads in the store until check consumes them. Preserve waiter, Cursor, restart, real Codex title, and PTY replacement behavior.\n\nPart of #12953.
* perf(runtime): gate terminal.list visual layouts and stop the false writable claim
visualLayouts is ~31% of a large terminal.list payload (44,208 B of 137,412 B on a live 134-terminal remote runtime) and has exactly one consumer: the human-readable CLI formatter. Gate it behind an includeVisualLayouts request param that defaults to included, so pre-flag clients are unaffected, and have every --json/internal caller opt out.
Also drop the record-backed builder's writable, which was a verbatim copy of connected. terminal.show now states writability explicitly as exactly what terminal.send's PTY gate enforces.
* test(runtime): type the payload-size fixture arrays for tsc
* fix(runtime): preserve terminal list compatibility
* test(runtime): guard terminal list optimization
* fix(cli): preserve agent access to terminal layouts
* fix(worktrees): stop silently switching existing Windows setup scripts to Git Bash
#6967 derived the Windows setup-runner shell from `terminalWindowsShell`. On
upgrade, any Windows user whose terminal preference resolved to Git Bash had
their existing `orca.yaml` setup script (and issue command) handed to bash
instead of cmd.exe. Scripts authored against the cmd runner — `copy`, `xcopy`,
`set VAR=value`, `if errorlevel 1`, `%VAR%`, backslash paths — broke with no
migration and no warning, and the failure looked like Orca broke the project.
The conflation is also wrong in the steady state: a terminal preference is
per-user, so two people on the same repo got different interpreters for the
same orca.yaml and no project could write a setup script that worked for all
of its Windows contributors.
The interpreter is now a property of the script, declared the standard way:
a leading `#!` line. Native Windows keeps the historical `.cmd` runner unless
the script declares a POSIX shell, so no existing script changes behavior.
`resolveSetupRunnerShell` keeps its role as the feasibility gate — a bash
runner still requires the terminal to resolve to Git Bash, since the launch
command is typed into that shell and uses MSYS `/c/...` paths.
`buildWindowsRunnerScript` now drops a leading `#!` line rather than `call`ing
it, so a declared-bash script that falls back to cmd (Git Bash missing) fails
on a real setup line instead of aborting on errorlevel at line one.
WSL worktrees, POSIX platforms, and SSH hosts are untouched.
* fix(worktrees): keep the cmd setup runner launchable from a Git Bash pane
Adversarial review of this PR found that pinning the runner format per script
reopened issue #6896 one layer down.
- `WorktreeSetupLaunch.shell` had been redefined to mean "the format the runner
file was written in". `resolveSetupRunnerCommand` consumes it as "the shell
that types the launch command", so a Git Bash terminal with a batch setup
script produced `cmd.exe /c "C:\...\setup-runner.cmd"` typed into a bash pane,
where MSYS rewrites the `/c` switch into a drive path: cmd opens interactively
and setup never runs. `shell` is the terminal's family again; the runner file's
.cmd/.sh extension carries the format, and a batch runner launched from a POSIX
pane reuses the existing PowerShell ProcessStartInfo launcher.
- The cmd runner dropped a leading `#!` line and ran the rest as batch, so a bash
script reaching cmd (PowerShell/cmd terminal, or any SSH-to-Windows host) got
its interpreter-agnostic prefix executed before failing mid-way. It now prints
why and exits 1 without running anything.
- A `#!` line's option flags were discarded: `#!/usr/bin/env -S bash -euo
pipefail` lost pipefail because the runner is launched as `bash <path>`. The
generated posix runner now replays declared flags via `set` and drops the
duplicate interpreter line.
- Docs cover the per-user setup command in repository hook settings, which goes
through the same `#!` rule, and describe what the `#!` line does and does not
select.
Tests: composed launch command for a POSIX pane + cmd runner (hooks, shared
runner command, setup sequencing gate, observed-setup signal), the cmd runner's
shebang refusal, and shebang flag replay. Each fails with the source reverted.
* fix(worktrees): replay only real `set` flags and keep the gate in the pane's shell
Two round-2 review findings:
- `#!/bin/bash -l` replayed `set -l`, which exits 2 and aborted the runner under
its own `set -e` before a single setup line ran (all platforms). Only the flags
`set` documents are replayed now; a bare `-o` with no option name is dropped
instead of dumping the shell-option table.
- The wait-for-setup gate picked its language from the runner file, so a batch
runner launched from a Git Bash pane got the PowerShell gate while the agent
startup command was already POSIX-quoted — `Invoke-Expression` cannot parse
`'\''`. The gate now follows the pane; the runner still launches through the
ProcessStartInfo launcher, never through bash.

* Honor configured shells during worktree setup
* Align setup launch paths with selected Windows shells
* Carry setup shell selection through deferred launches
* Prove Windows setup shell routing at its real adapters
* Ground remote PowerShell proof in the real writer
* Preserve Git Bash across deferred setup launches
* Harden Windows setup runner shell selection
- Resolve remote PowerShell binary without local pwsh probe: for SSH/remote
Windows worktrees, isPwshAvailable() reflects only the LOCAL host, so an
'auto' implementation could route the remote runner to a pwsh.exe the remote
lacks. Add resolveSetupRunnerShell(..., { probeLocalPwsh: false }) so remote
auto keeps the always-present powershell.exe; explicit pwsh.exe still honored.
- Preserve native exit codes in the PowerShell runner by checking
$LASTEXITCODE before $?, so a failing native command surfaces its real code
instead of a generic exit 1; $? still catches cmdlet soft-failures.
- Write the PowerShell runner with a UTF-8 BOM so Windows PowerShell 5.1 (the
new default powershell.exe) reads it as UTF-8 instead of ANSI, preventing
non-ASCII setup-script corruption.
- Add unit tests for the remote-probe behavior.
* Restore setup-shell scope narrowing over the rebase
The force-pushed rebase dropped five review-fix commits that were already
on this branch; this reapplies their combined effect on top of the new
base and the hardening commit:
- Keep SSH setup shell selection remote-owned (no local terminalWindowsShell
or pwsh routing for remote hosts; supersedes the probeLocalPwsh guard)
- Preserve cmd setup compatibility outside POSIX shells (no .ps1 runner
family, so the BOM/exit-code hardening is no longer applicable)
- Route WSL setup runners from the project runtime
- Avoid blocking PowerShell probes during setup creation
- Correct SSH and WSL background setup fixtures
* Satisfy the changed-code gates for the setup-shell runner
- createWorktreeRunnerScript took 7 positional parameters, tripping the
changed-code max-params gate; move it to a single options object.
- hooks-runner.test.ts deep-equals the createSetupRunnerScript result, so
assert the cmd shell now returned for native Windows worktrees.
* Carry the setup launch shell through observed and issue runners
- buildObservedSetupCommand takes the runner's launch shell so WSL-routed
Windows-drive setup replays use /mnt/c instead of Git Bash /c
- resolveSetupRunnerShell gates the posix runner on the same Git Bash
resolution the PTY uses, so a missing or non-MSYS bash keeps the cmd runner
- issue-command runners carry their launch shell, and the renderer passes it
when building the queued command
- treat a bare `bash` shell setting as POSIX like `bash.exe`

* fix(worktrees): close counsel P1 gaps for Windows setup shells
Route windowless/headless creates through the shell-aware setup runner when a
PTY controller is available, existence-check explicit Git Bash paths before
committing to .sh runners, thread the resolved shell into issue-command
runners, and document the intentional Git Bash interpreter flip with a narrow
scope table.
* Convert setup env to MSYS form and harden the bare cmd runner launch
C3: a Git Bash setup runner now receives ORCA_*/CONDUCTOR_*/GHOSTX_* path
values in /c/... form, matching the runner path and the shell's own HOME/PWD.
C5: extension-less `bash` resolves to Git Bash everywhere, matching how
resolveWindowsShellStartupFamily already classifies it.
C7: runner paths carrying characters that cannot be quoted on a cmd command
line launch through a delayed-expansion PowerShell shim instead, and the batch
runner disables inherited delayed expansion so `!` in setup lines survives.

* docs: note MSYS ORCA_* paths and bare bash Git Bash resolution
Keep the setup-shell release note aligned with C3 env conversion and C5 bare
bash resolution so the published claim matches runtime behavior.
* revert: drop windows-setup-shell doc allowlist and AGENTS link
Keep the counsel P1/P2 product fixes without expanding the docs allowlist
or AGENTS.md guidance surface.
* fix(plugins): contain Parcel unsubscribe rejections under Vitest
Dev plugin watchers fire-and-forget unsubscribe, and in-process Parcel
can reject when temp watch roots are already deleted. Catch those
rejections so they cannot fail the suite as unhandled errors.
* fix(plugins): keep in-process unsubscribe rejection surface
Swallowing Parcel unsubscribe errors broke mocked unsubscribe tests
that return non-Promises and expect rejections. Contain failures only
in PluginDevWatcher fire-and-forget paths.

* chore(dead-code): drop 2k lines of unreachable exports and orphan modules
Ran knip across every build entry (main, preload, renderer, popout, web,
cli, relay, workers, forked sidecars, config scripts) and removed what no
entry graph can reach.
- 11 orphan modules nothing imported, plus one test that only covered them
- 159 unused exports/types, with their now-dead helpers, imports and tests
Each candidate was verified against dynamic references before deletion.
42 knip hits were false positives and are kept: shared modules consumed by
the mobile/ workspace, the src/shared/plugins/** public API, vendored
shadcn primitives, and relay wire-protocol constants held for compatibility.
Adds knip.json + `pnpm audit:dead-code` so this stays measurable.
Verified: pnpm typecheck, pnpm lint, and 2081 tests across the 73 affected
test files all pass.
* chore(dead-code): move knip config under config/
Root-level additions are blocked by the root directory guard.

* fix(orchestration): gate methods route calls to the caller's Run with `f
Gates are Run-scoped state; every gate command now resolves the caller's active Run
(via pane binding or explicit --from flag) and authorizes within that Run's scope.
Settled adopted work no longer requires --takeover-legacy, and the legacy coordinator
fence respects both binding-based and attestation-based proof of authority.

Gate and run methods now verify that declared terminal handles match the caller's
attested identity, preventing spoofing of other coordinators. Extracted shared

mutations. Added comprehensive regression tests for #11745.

* fix(orchestration): bind lifecycle sends to dispatched pane
* fix(orchestration): bind injected worker messaging
* Fix worker_done pane identity gating and rename SSH linear CLI files
- Lifecycle reconciliation now returns an explicit `rejected` action
(instead of `ignored`) for persisted sender_not_assignee markers, and
only treats a payload's `_orcaLifecycleRejection` as trusted state
when it exactly matches that reserved shape, preventing caller-
supplied markers from spoofing a rejected send as success.
- SSH legacy fallback CLI now fails closed with
`no_active_sender_terminal` when a worker_done/heartbeat send has no
resolvable sender identity, rejects mixed raw/structured payload
flags, and reconstructs structured lifecycle payload fields
(task/dispatch id, files-modified, report-path, phase) instead of
dropping them — extracted into ssh-remote-orchestration-send.ts.
- Renamed ssh-remote-linear-argument-error.ts to
ssh-remote-cli-argument-error.ts since RemoteCliArgumentError is now
shared beyond the Linear CLI.
* Add re-read logging for already-converted lifecycle rejections
Send-path reconcile converts worker_done/heartbeat rejections with a
no-op logger, so the coordinator's later re-read is the only chance
to surface the rejection message. Log it there instead of dropping it.
* fix(orchestration): complete worker tasks and improve coordinator UX
* Fix orchestration lifecycle sender resolution and peek/check compat hand
- Lifecycle sends (worker_done/heartbeat) now use ORCA_TERMINAL_HANDLE
verbatim, skipping the liveness probe and pane remint that could
block delivery during restarts or mismatch stale-runtime assignee
handles.
- --peek now round-trips as {peek:true, unread:false} so older runtimes
that strip unknown params degrade to non-destructive "all" instead of
mark-read, with client-side filtering to restore peek semantics and a
clear error when --peek --wait can't be honored.
- Reject combined read-mode flags (--unread/--peek/--all) before calling
the runtime.
- Distinguish suppressed (already-consumed) lifecycle messages from
ignored ones so send doesn't wake --wait waiters for stale heartbeats.
- Fix task summary truncation to avoid splitting UTF-16 surrogate pairs
and to not misreport whitespace normalization as truncation.
* Add shared helper to abbreviate orchestration task specs for brief listi
- Normalizes whitespace and caps spec length at 160 chars, flagging
truncation separately from whitespace-only changes
- Truncates on UTF-16 code point boundaries to avoid splitting
surrogate pairs and emitting malformed strings
* Add pane-key identity to worker_done/heartbeat reconciliation and server
- Records the sender's pane key on messages and dispatch contexts so
worker_done/heartbeat ownership can be verified by the remint-stable
pane leaf instead of the terminal handle, which is reissued across
restarts.
- Rejects lifecycle messages from a genuinely foreign pane while still
tolerating handle remints, tab break-outs, and older CLIs that lack
pane identity.
- Moves task-spec abbreviation server-side (orchestration.taskList
--brief) so full specs no longer cross SSH/relay transports, with a
client-side fallback for older runtimes; consolidates the shared
abbreviation helper under src/shared.
- Adds a stderr warning when a pre-peek runtime's --peek response hits
the 100-row cap, since older unread messages may be missing.
* Isolate ORCA_PANE_KEY in CLI test beforeEach to fix leaked senderPaneKey
Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>
* Fix pane-key remint bypassing dispatch mutual-exclusion lock
- Dispatch locking only matched on assignee_handle, so a reminted
terminal handle (tab break-out) could open a second concurrent
dispatch on the same pane.
- Add leaf-UUID-based pane key comparison (parsePaneKey) as a
secondary lock, falling back to exact handle match for legacy
rows without pane keys.
* Update orchestration skill docs for lifecycle authority and CLI flag add
- Clarify that dispatch lifecycle is tied to taskId+dispatchId verified against
the dispatched pane, not the terminal handle, since handles can be reminted
after restart
- Document new `check --peek`/`--all` and `task-list --brief` flags, with
fallback guidance for older CLIs that reject them
- Note that a valid worker_done auto-completes the task/dispatch, so workers
shouldn't also call task-update manually

Windows launcher-suffix rule (grok.exe/.cmd/.bat/.ps1) as the rest
of Orca's agent-title detection.

110 files carried an eslint/oxlint-disable max-lines directive but are
already under the default max-lines budget (300 .ts / 400 .tsx / 600 .mjs
/ 800 test), so the suppression is dead. Removing it restores real
max-lines coverage on these files with zero behavior change.
Each removed directive had max-lines as its only rule; verified via a
full oxlint run (0 max-lines violations, 0 new errors). Diff is pure
deletions (200 lines, 0 additions) — no code touched.

- Instruct workers to stop and idle or exit immediately after sending
`worker_done`, rather than running a 10-minute polling loop.
- Distinguish instructions based on worker kind: prompt-returning
agents should remain idle for re-engagement, while bare-shell
workers should exit.
- Prevent infinite polling overhead since the coordinator re-engages
workers via fresh terminal input instead of inbox polling.
* 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.

* Support background and focused terminal presentation modes
* Add `presentation` field ('background' | 'focused') to terminal
creation to control focus behavior.
* Prevent terminal creation from stealing UI focus by default.
* Return discoverability warnings when default terminal presentation
fails, unless explicit background mode is selected.
* Update orchestration SKILL.md to clarify review-only worker
completion rules and named owner handoffs.
* Prevent background terminal sessions from auto-activating
Ensure that terminal tabs created with 'background' presentation (such
as background agent sessions or locally backed renderer transports) do
not automatically activate or get selected as the active tab on remote
or mobile sessions.
- Add a selectIfNoActiveTab option to control auto-activation on mobile
- Set presentation to 'background' for remote runtime transports and
agent background sessions
- Skip tab auto-selection when the presentation is background
* Keep background terminal create payloads focused
* feat(agents): native Xiaomi MiMo Code support
Add mimo-code TUI agent (detect mimo, --prompt, --session resume).
Inject MIMOCODE_HOME overlay and /hook/mimo-code status plugin on mimo
launch when agent status hooks are enabled; restore via shell-ready
wrappers. Reuse OpenCode-family hook normalization in the listener.
SSH remote MiMo hook overlays are not included (local/daemon first).
Closes#6220
* fix(mimo): remirror overlay config idempotently
rmSync overlay config before mirror so a second mimo launch does not
hit EEXIST in mirrorEntry and fall back to the user MIMOCODE_HOME.
* review: harden mimo code support

- Decouple heartbeat and worker_done logic from the main coordinator
to allow re-use in the orchestration.check RPC method.
- Reconcile unread lifecycle messages during orchestration.check so that
manual coordinators can authoritatively process completions and
heartbeats even if they bypass the main coordinator loop.
- Add unit tests validating task completion, heartbeat recording, and
safety checks against stale or unauthorized worker_done payloads.
Introduce optional `task-title` and `display-name` parameters for orchestration tasks, persisting them in the database and propagating them through the RPC and Orca runtime.
This allows the CLI, dashboard, activity page, and sidebar to display concise, user-friendly labels for dispatched worker agents instead of verbose, raw system preambles.
* Show worktree-attributed child agents inline
- Keep orchestration worker rows visible when hook status arrives before the
renderer has a tab for the pane.
- Show child agent lineage expanded by default with clearer parent/child styling.
- Tighten worktree list indentation so grouped and nested rows align correctly.
* Sync agent lineage from runtime graph
- Return main-owned orchestration metadata during window graph sync so live,
retained, and title-derived agent rows stay grouped under the right parent.
- Match lineage by terminal handle when pane keys are unavailable after
teardown, and ignore stale completed dispatches.
- Adjust sidebar indentation and compact agent row chrome/readability.
* Preserve agent lineage across status replay and worktree cleanup
- Enrich agent status snapshots with runtime terminal and orchestration metadata
- Share lineage tree building between dashboard and sidebar, including coordinator fallback
- Avoid applying stale runtime dispatch metadata to current hook statuses
- Use worktree attribution for PR refresh and live status removal before tabs mount
Adds OpenClaude as a distinct CLI agent across detection, launch, settings, status, hooks, orchestration, telemetry identifiers, notifications, and README badges. Installs OpenClaude hooks under its own ~/.openclaude config root, handles StopFailure API/model-error events so statuses clear correctly, and keeps OpenClaude tab/status icons distinct from Claude.
