* Harden layout validation, watcher lifecycle, and connection robustness
- Throw instead of silently skipping when the packaged daemon-entry is
missing, preventing layout regressions from passing build checks.
- Terminate idle parcel-watcher processes to reclaim native handles and
avoid crash-prone native node module teardowns on shutdown.
- Bind the persisted WS fallback port first to prevent orphaning active
mobile pairings when the preferred port becomes free again.
- Cap concurrent disk reads for restored dirty tab verification at three
to prevent startup connection bottlenecks on remote SSH workspaces.
* Queue file IDs instead of snapshots in restored conflict scans
This avoids using stale file snapshots (e.g., outdated disk signatures)
if a tab is saved, closed, or re-baselined while waiting in the queue
behind the concurrency limit. The live state is now fetched from the
store and validated immediately before initiating the disk read.
On macOS 26, UNUserNotificationCenter aborts when executables are run
from Contents/Resources because bundleProxyForCurrentProcess returns
nil.
Moving the orca-notification-status helper to Contents/MacOS next to
the main Electron executable ensures proper bundle resolution and
avoids immediate crashes.
* feat(onboarding): state-aware macOS notification permission step
The Set up notifications step showed a one-size-fits-all 'Open Mac
Settings' button that simultaneously fired the macOS permission prompt
and opened System Settings — two competing system UIs, with System
Settings unnecessary for the common fresh-install case.
Electron exposes no API to read macOS notification authorization, but
scheduling outcomes do reveal it: a silent probe notification's 'show'
event means permission is granted, 'failed' means delivery is blocked.
A new notifications:probeDelivery IPC runs that probe (cached via
passive delivery evidence and a persisted confirmation flag), and the
onboarding card now renders the real state:
- fresh install: the probe itself pops the native Allow dialog the
moment the step opens; the card flips to 'Notifications are enabled'
automatically when the user clicks Allow (silent 2.5s re-probes)
- blocked: amber card with an Open System Settings deep-link, which
also self-heals once the user flips the toggle
- granted: green confirmation card
The test-notification button now feeds the same card instead of the
ambiguous 'if no banner appeared…' toast during onboarding.

* fix: don't log expected probe rejections while polling for permission

* fix: amber warning styling + single stable dev bundle id for notifications
- Blocked card now uses the app's shipped amber idiom (tinted surface with
amber title/body) instead of white-on-amber-wash, which read muddy in
dark mode; macOS permission card split into its own module to stay under
the max-lines budget.
- Dev instances previously minted a unique macOS bundle id per
branch x Electron version, registering a new Notification Settings entry
every time ('Orca: <branch>' rows piling up forever) and pointing the
settings deep-link at ids System Settings can't resolve. All dev
instances now share com.stablyai.orca.dev: one Notification Center
entry, one permission grant covering every dev build.

* fix: tighten macOS permission card copy
Body copy was one long sentence; now a single short instruction with
'Updates automatically.' as a separate dimmer line. Also repairs locale
catalog parity for keys introduced by commits rebased into this branch.

* fix: drop 'Updates automatically.' line; ad-hoc sign dev app copies
The extra line read as confusing filler — the cards now carry one short
instruction each.
Dev Electron copies had broken code signatures (the Info.plist identity
edits invalidate the ad-hoc seal), which macOS punishes by refusing
Notification Center registration outright: every dev notification failed
with UNErrorDomain error 1, the app never appeared in System Settings >
Notifications, and the settings deep-link had nothing to land on. The dev
runner now ad-hoc re-signs the copied bundle after the plist edits
(bundleLayoutVersion bumped so stale unsigned copies are recreated).
Verified end-to-end: runner-built copy passes codesign --verify --deep,
probe delivery returns delivered, the onboarding card flips green in dev,
and the deep link opens the dev app's own notifications pane.

* fix: drop confusing copy line; session-only permission evidence
Removes the 'Updates automatically.' line from both permission cards.
Also drops the persisted notificationDeliveryConfirmed flag: OS-level
permission changes between sessions, and a stale positive rendered a
false green card. Delivery evidence is now session-scoped only.
Documented detection ceiling (verified empirically on macOS 26): while
the permission dialog is unanswered — and when notifications are toggled
off in System Settings after being authorized — macOS accepts requests
and silently swallows them, with no public API (Notification Center
delivered-history and legacy ncprefs both included) able to distinguish
that from real delivery. 'failed' remains definitive for unsigned builds
and dialog-level denials.

* feat: real macOS notification permission readout via native helper
Electron has no API for UNUserNotificationCenter authorization, and every
observable fallback lies: scheduling succeeds (and getHistory lists the
notification) even while macOS silently swallows display because the
permission dialog is unanswered or notifications were toggled off in
System Settings. The onboarding card therefore showed 'enabled' after the
user disabled notifications.
Adds native/notification-status-macos: a tiny Swift binary that prints
the app's real authorization status. It runs from inside the app bundle
(NSBundle resolves the bundle by walking up from the executable) and
embeds the app's CFBundleIdentifier in a __TEXT,__info_plist section so
every codesign --force pass — electron-builder's signing or the dev
runner's ad-hoc deep sign — derives the identifier macOS keys
notification records to. Spawning it from the app returns authorized /
denied / not-determined exactly matching System Settings.
notifications:probeDelivery now prefers this readout (authoritative,
silent), firing at most one dialog-trigger probe per session while the
decision is pending, and falls back to the previous delivery-probe
heuristics when the helper is unavailable. The card polls the readout
silently in every state, so toggling Allow notifications in System
Settings flips the card within a poll — both directions, verified live.
Test notifications also consult the readout so 'delivered' is no longer
claimed for swallowed notifications.
Packaged builds ship the helper via extraResources and sign it in
afterPack like the computer-use helper; dev copies compile it on demand
(swiftc, non-fatal when missing) with the shared dev bundle id.

* feat: in-app fallback for swallowed notifications + permission card in Settings
- Dispatch now consults the authorization readout before creating a
native notification: when macOS would silently swallow it (denied or
prompt unanswered) it returns reason 'blocked-by-system' instead of
piling invisible notifications into Notification Center. The terminal
notification path surfaces that as a once-per-session in-app toast
with an Open System Settings action. Mobile fan-out is unaffected.
- Settings > Notifications now shows the same live permission card as
onboarding (moved to components/notifications/), polling the readout
so System Settings changes reflect within seconds, and the test
button updates it inline.
- Test sends that are blocked at the OS level now show the
settings-pointing failure toast instead of a generic error.

* fix: hide macOS permission card while Orca notifications are disabled
A green 'Notifications are enabled' card next to a disabled Enable
Notifications toggle read as a contradiction — the card now renders (and
the readout polls) only while Orca's own notifications setting is on.
Also single-flights the authorization helper so simultaneous agent
completions share one readout process.

Exclude repo-only package inputs and move renderer/build-only dependencies out of production dependencies to reduce packaged app.asar size while keeping source maps allowed for crash diagnostics.
Adds an RPM Linux package target and renames the Linux CLI command to orca-ide to avoid shadowing GNOME Orca, while preserving macOS and Windows CLI command behavior.\n\nFollow-up hardening keeps the Linux launcher executable, removes only old Orca-managed Linux/WSL orca launchers during migration, preserves AppImage/deb artifact names, and updates package/release tests for the RPM asset.
The CLI is compiled by tsc (not bundled) and launched via
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE, which bypasses Electron's asar integration. After
#1090 introduced zod for envelope validation, the packaged CLI crashed
with MODULE_NOT_FOUND because zod was inside app.asar. Add it to
asarUnpack so require() can resolve it from app.asar.unpacked/node_modules.
Follow-up tracked in #1097 to add CI smoke-testing of the packaged CLI.
