0cbb01ef4b fix(security): apply the Windows path-hardening ACL that never ran (#17884)
* fix(security): apply the Windows path-hardening ACL that never ran

`buildWindowsRestrictAclArgs` invoked the hardening script as
`powershell.exe -Command <script> <path> <sid> <isDir>`. `-Command` does
not populate `$args`; it appends the trailing tokens to the command text.
The script therefore read `$args[1]` as `$null`, threw `NullArrayIndex` at
`$allowedSids[$sidText] = $true` under `$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'`,
and exited 1. Both callers swallowed that: the async callback was empty and
`applySecurePathRestriction` returned `true` regardless, while the sync
`catch` returned `false` and nobody logged. Every Windows secure path has
been left on its inherited ACL since the ACL was introduced (#5006), and
nothing said so.

Replace PowerShell with `icacls.exe`, which takes plain argv. That removes
the quoting surface entirely rather than escaping it: interpolating a path
into the command text would have turned a dead no-op into arbitrary
PowerShell on a filesystem path, since `-Command` executes what it appends.
It also drops the execution-policy dependency and the `powershell.exe`
spawn an EDR flags, and runs ~25x faster than the PowerShell cold start.

Hardening is now three passes: `/reset` to purge explicit ACEs that
`/inheritance:r` leaves behind, `/inheritance:r` plus a `/grant:r` per
allowed SID, then a read-back that checks the DACL is protected and grants
only the intended rights. The predecessor's verification block was equally
dead, and an apply that is never read back is only half a control.

Failures stay non-fatal — non-NTFS volumes, network paths and restricted
tokens fail legitimately and must not break startup — but they are no
longer invisible: every failure is logged, and a failed async apply now
evicts its cache entry so the next call retries instead of trusting a
success that never happened.

Routing through `runProcess`/`runProcessSync` also retires this file's
`node:child_process` allowlist entry.

* fix(security): verify the hardened ACL by identity, not by shape

Review found the bug class this PR fixes surviving inside the fix. The
verify pass checked rule count, absence of the inherited marker, and exact
rights — never *who* the rules named. Granting Everyone full control
satisfies all three, so hardening reported success on a DACL that handed
the credential to every local account, and most of the real-filesystem
tests still passed.

Verification now reads the descriptor back with `icacls /save`, which emits
SDDL with raw SIDs, and compares the principal set exactly. That is also
locale-independent by construction: the previous parse read localized
account names out of icacls' OEM-codepage stdout, where a non-ASCII path
survived by accident rather than by the documented mechanism. SDDL parsing
moves to `windows-security-descriptor.ts`.

Two further self-inflicted problems, both measured:

The post-rename re-harden led with `/reset`, which re-widened a DACL that
was already correct — the staged file's protected DACL survives the rename,
so the pass had nothing to do but open a window. Polling an external
process during a write into a relocated root caught it: the e2ee keypair
dropped to `BUILTIN\Users:(RX)` plus `Authenticated Users:(M)` — read *and*
write — before tightening again. Hardening now verifies first and returns
early when the DACL already reads back correct, which closes the window and
cuts the steady state from three spawns to one. Re-measured: 158 samples,
one DACL state, zero broad.

Evicting the cache on every failed async apply reintroduced #4901. The env
store re-hardens on the read path at ~2/s, so on a host where hardening
cannot work (FAT32, network path, restricted token) that was two icacls
spawns and two warnings a second, forever. Async retries now take a retry
floor and a hard per-path attempt cap. The write path keeps retrying
unthrottled — it is user-driven, and a failed credential ACL must still be
retried on the next write.

Also: failures route through a reporter hook that the main process points
at the diagnostic tracer, because `console.warn` reaches nothing in a
packaged GUI-subsystem build; `writeSecureFile` returns whether hardening
took, and the async branch reports `pending` rather than claiming `applied`;
a transient `whoami` failure no longer disables hardening for the process
lifetime, and the SID is shape-validated; the `/c` guard now covers the
synchronous runner too.

* fix(security): re-probe hardening instead of latching a transient failure

The per-process attempt cap added for the read-path storm was a permanent
latch: one AV scan, momentary lock or %TEMP% blip and every later credential
write in that session went unhardened, silently, on a host where hardening
would now succeed. Same defect class as #17858's computer-use host, and
worse here because what stops happening is security hardening on credential
files and nothing said so.

The retry budget now bounds the *rate*, not the lifetime: at most three
attempts per path per minute, re-probing in every later window, forever. The
transition is announced in both directions — `throttled` once per window on
entry, `recovered` when a rate-limited path hardens again — so a host stuck
in the degraded state is diagnosable rather than merely quiet. The reporter
type covers both, and the main process ends the `recovered` span
successfully rather than failing it.

Extracted to secure-path-hardening-retry-budget.ts, which keeps
secure-file.ts under its line cap without a max-lines disable.

Also confirms the second flagged risk rather than assuming it: a real
unwritable %TEMP% is now covered by a test proving verification fails
closed, reports at the `verify` stage, and still leaves the ACL applied —
so that path loses proof, not protection, and with the lifetime cap gone it
can no longer combine into a permanent-off state.

* fix(security): verify a directory's whole inheritance flag set

The flag check tested only that `OI` was present — never that `CI` was, nor
that nothing else was. That was harmless while `/reset` + `/grant` ran on
every pass and repaired whatever was there. The verify-first short-circuit
made it load-bearing: what verification accepts is now left alone, so a
latent under-check went live because a different fix started depending on
it.

Two directory DACLs passed while being wrong — both protected, three
non-inherited full-control rules, correct SIDs, differing from correct only
in their flags:

  (OI)(F)        - no CI, so subdirectories are left unprotected
  (OI)(CI)(IO)   - inherit-only, so the directory object itself grants
                   nobody anything; the next writeFileSync into it fails
                   with EPERM, on a directory just cached as hardened

Verification now compares the whole flag set, which also rejects IO and NP,
and names the offending flags in the failure. Both shapes are planted in
real-filesystem regression tests, including an assertion that a write into
the repaired directory succeeds and its child inherits. Confirmed both tests
fail against the old check and pass against this one.

* fix(security): back the hardening retry off exponentially

The fixed one-minute window bounded the retry rate but left a standing floor
of three attempts per path per minute on a host where hardening can never
succeed — FAT32/exFAT, a network path, a redirected profile. That budget is
per path and there are several secure files, so the floor multiplied into
tens of thousands of icacls spawns a day for work guaranteed to fail.

The delay now doubles after each consecutive failure, from a one-minute
floor to a thirty-minute ceiling, and the attempt cap is gone entirely: once
the backoff elapses the path is re-probed however long it has been failing.
A permanently incapable host settles at ~2 attempts/hour.

Slowing the backstop costs almost nothing, because it is not the recovery
mechanism: the synchronous write path is deliberately unthrottled, so a host
that recovers hardens on its very next credential write regardless of what
the read-path budget says.

The `throttled`/`recovered` reports are unchanged and matter more here,
since the quiet periods between probes are now much longer.

The curve is pinned in a new unit test against the exported delay function
rather than a copy of its constants, covering the doubling, the ceiling
holding at 5000 consecutive failures, a 30-day failing path still
re-probing, one announcement per degraded episode, and per-path isolation.
The integration tests keep only what they uniquely prove: that the read path
is wired to the budget, and that a day of failures still re-probes.
Confirmed four of these fail against a reinstated lifetime cap.

* ci(windows): run the real-icacls DACL 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.

* fix(security): describe the cache's real cost, which is icacls now

Both cache comments still justified themselves with PowerShell -- "~1-1.5s" and
"a PowerShell spawn every read" -- in the same file whose PR removed PowerShell
from this path. The caches are still right, but for different numbers, and the
old ones are the kind an engineer would reasonably delete a cache over.

The real shape: hardening verifies first and returns early, so an already-correct
DACL costs one synchronous icacls spawn and a rewrite costs four (verify, reset,
grant, verify). Still worth caching on the read path, which polls at ~2/s.

* test(security): make the DACL suite safe to schedule

Registering this spec in the Windows lane put it under two rules it had
never been measured against.

Teardown now goes through `removeTreeSync`, which the lane's boundary test
requires, and repairs the DACLs the suite plants on purpose first: those
retries only cover transient locks, so a regressed `(OI)(CI)(IO)` repair
leaves the root un-removable and `afterAll` throws EPERM.

And the no-permission case decides by elevation before it writes anything.
`windows-2022` runs elevated, where hardening succeeds: the old branch
asserted nothing about denial and instead replaced the `hosts` DACL, then
`icacls /reset` -- which is not a restore, it drops the explicit
`SYSTEM:(F)` that file ships with. Ephemeral in CI; permanent for a
developer running the lane from an elevated shell. Now it asserts or it
skips. The probe reads the token integrity SID rather than `icacls /save`,
which succeeds unelevated (`BUILTIN\Users:(RX)` carries READ_CONTROL) and
would have skipped the case on every machine.

* fix(security): measure the hardening latches on a clock that cannot go backwards

`mayAttemptHardening` compared wall-clock times, so any backwards step --
an NTP correction, a VM snapshot restore, a user changing the clock --
made the elapsed time negative and held every failing path below its delay
until the clock caught up. Measured at the 30-minute ceiling with the clock
stepped back a year, the path was refused at +0d, +1d, +30d, +180d and
+364d, and re-probed only at +366d. That is the permanent latch the
exponential backoff was added to remove, and it contradicts the module's
own "bounds the rate without ever bounding the lifetime".

The SID lookup's own one-minute window had the identical shape and is
worse: a failed lookup makes `planFor` return null, which disables the
synchronous *write* path too, so the write-path exemption that recovers
the read-path budget cannot recover it. Both now measure elapsed monotonic
time, following the repo's existing `monotonicNowMs` spelling.

Two things the write path was not doing, both found in the same pass:

- A successful synchronous apply now records the outcome. It is exempt
  from the budget, but it was also invisible to it, so a host that had
  demonstrably recovered kept the read path backing off for up to 30
  minutes and no `recovered` transition ever came from that lane. Only
  success is recorded; recording failure would put the exempt lane back
  under the budget.
- `writeSecureFile`'s JSDoc now says its boolean covers the file only. The
  directory harden is fire-and-forget and answers `pending` on Windows
  regardless, so a `true` says nothing about the directory's ACL.

* fix(security): stop the hardening test doubles from faking a no-op

Three CI failures on this branch, one failure shape: hardening silently
does nothing and the check that should have caught it agrees.

The auth critical-path test hand-rolled a `node:child_process` factory with
`execFileSync`/`execFile`. The rewritten ACL path goes through
`runProcessSync`, i.e. `spawnSync`, which the factory never returned — so
every spawn threw into the SID lookup's bare catch, `planFor` returned null,
and hardening no-opped. It mocks `child-process/run-process` now, the
boundary production code actually calls and the one sibling ACL tests
already mock: an export missing there fails loudly by name instead of
returning undefined. Its fake icacls writes a real UTF-16LE SDDL file, so
the pinned spawn count per write is a property of the ACL path rather than
of the double. The test forces `platform='win32'`, so this failed on every
platform, Linux CI included.

`windowsSystem32Binary` is a production bug, not a test bug: it builds a
Windows path with the host `join`, which off-platform yields the mixed
`C:\Windows/System32/whoami.exe`. On Windows the two joins agree, which is
why it survived; on Linux the SID lookup's whoami match missed and 27 of
secure-file's 32 tests exercised a lane that never ran. These are always
Windows paths, so `path.win32.join` is what it should have been.

The import-boundary pin still read 160 after this branch migrated
secure-path-windows-acl.ts off `node:child_process`; the ratchet correctly
refuses a pin left above reality.

* fix(security): resolve the machine-relative SDDL alias, and stop a denied read destroying the file

Path hardening verified the DACL it wrote by comparing the SIDs `icacls /save`
reports. SDDL substitutes two-letter aliases for well-known SIDs, and the
resolution table could only hold constants -- but `LA` and `LG` name an account
by RID inside the *machine's own* SID, so on a box whose user is the built-in
Administrator (a CI runner, an Administrator-only install) the current user read
back as `LA`, matched nothing, and hardening reported failure for every path.
Resolve those two against the machine authority derived from the user SID;
without one they stay unresolved and the comparison still fails closed.

Three secret stores treated any read failure as "malformed -- regenerate" and
overwrote. A hardened file granting a SID this process does not hold reads as
EPERM while its directory stays writable, so the overwrite succeeds: renaming
over an unreadable file needs FILE_DELETE_CHILD on the parent, not DELETE on the
file. That destroyed the E2EE secret key, every paired device's bearer token,
and the plugin vault. Distinguish EPERM/EACCES from a parse failure and refuse.

Also close the async lane's unhandled rejection: `void p.then(onSettled)` turned
a throw from `onSettled` into a dead main process, and the retry budget it calls
threw whenever nothing had configured it -- a contract held only by import
order. The budget now defaults its own bounds.

* test(windows): say which ACEs icacls listed when a planted DACL fails

`toHaveLength` reports only a count and vitest elides the array, so three
preconditions failing on the CI runner said "expected 3, got 6" and nothing
about what the sixth entry was. Name the entries in the failure.

* fix(security): stop three more stores overwriting what they were denied

Same swallow-default-overwrite shape as the readers already fixed, found by
sweeping every store that reads under a hardened root.

- plugin-storage-store.ts returned `{}` on any read failure and set()/delete()
  wrote it back, losing the plugin KV store. It is the secrets store's shape
  line for line, so the two now behave identically.
- relay-revoke-outbox.ts returned [] and save() wrote it, dropping revocations
  that never reached the relay -- a revoked device stays live.
- profile-cloud-session-store.ts mapped an EPERM read onto `decrypt-failed`,
  which fails the `status === 'found'` guard in clearCloudSessionIfUnchanged and
  falls through to an rmSync of the account session. A denied read now reports
  `unreadable`, which licenses nothing; the refresh path bails on it and the
  auth status surfaces it rather than reporting a bare reconnect.

All reuse isPermissionDeniedError. The predicate stays an EPERM/EACCES allow
list rather than "ENOENT defaults, everything else throws": these stores are
meant to self-heal a truncated or malformed file, and inverting it would turn a
corrupt keypair into an app that cannot start. The distinction that matters is
"could not read it" versus "read it and it was garbage".

* test(windows): plant fixture DACLs that cannot inherit what they did not plant

%TEMP% grants [SYSTEM, Administrators, <user>] (OI)(CI)(F) by default, and those
propagate into every fixture. Three preconditions read back 4 and 6 ACEs where 3
were planted, and the extras looked like Orca's own hardening because the shape
is identical -- on a runner whose user is the built-in Administrator, the
inherited trio IS the trio production grants.

Combining /inheritance:r with /grant:r leaves the argument order to icacls, and
that combined form drops the inherited ACEs on Windows 11 but keeps them as
explicit ones on the Windows Server runner. Removing inheritance in its own
invocation makes the grant the whole DACL on either host, and the fixture root
is de-inherited once up front so nothing propagates in.

Rooting the fixtures outside %TEMP% would not have fixed this: any directory
inherits from wherever it lives. The fix is to stop inheriting, not to move.

No assertion is relaxed -- the counts stay exact.

* test(windows): pick a foreign SID that stays foreign on an elevated runner

`S-1-5-32-544` is only foreign to a token that is not an administrator. The CI
runner is elevated AND logged in as the built-in Administrator, so granting
Administrators granted the reader full control: the file stayed readable, and
all six preservation assertions went vacuous rather than proving anything.

BUILTIN\Guests is resolvable everywhere and no interactive token is a member,
so the read is denied on an unelevated developer box and on the runner alike.
An unresolvable SID would have been the stronger choice but icacls rejects one
with ERROR_NONE_MAPPED (1332).

The premise guard is what caught this -- it asserted the file was actually
unreadable instead of trusting the grant, and named elevation as the suspect.

* fix(security): refuse on any read that never reached the contents, not just a denied one

isPermissionDeniedError becomes isUnreadableError, because "permission denied"
was never the concept -- "could not read it", as opposed to "read it and it was
garbage", is. EBUSY, EMFILE, ENFILE and EIO say exactly as little about a file's
contents as EACCES does, and they fell into the branch that regenerates and
overwrites. On Windows EBUSY is the likelier of the two: antivirus holding a
credential open at the moment of a startup read produces it, which makes it a
commoner path to the same permanent loss than the ACL case that motivated the
original fix.

Still an allow list, deliberately: ENOENT keeps licensing a create, and a parse
failure keeps self-healing. The stores are built to recover from a truncated
write, and turning that into a refusal would trade a recoverable state for an
unrecoverable one on the startup path.

Also fixes the regression suite's own premise on an elevated runner:
makeUnreadable combined /inheritance:r with /grant:r, and that form keeps
%TEMP%'s inherited [SYSTEM, Administrators, user] as explicit ACEs on Windows
Server -- so the file stayed readable and all six assertions were vacuous. Same
split-the-invocation fix as the ACL suite's planter.

* test(windows): skip the preservation suite where a read cannot be denied

An elevated token logged in as the built-in Administrator reads straight through
a DACL that grants it nothing -- confirmed on the CI runner against both
BUILTIN\Administrators and BUILTIN\Guests, and with the grant split into its own
icacls invocation so the DACL really was the planted one. On such a host the
premise these tests rest on does not hold, and every assertion would pass while
proving nothing.

So probe once at module scope and skip rather than assert vacuously -- the same
trade the ACL suite already makes for its unelevated-only case. The gate stays
in the compound `<win32 check> && <flag>` form the win32 lane ratchet detects, so
the file stays registered in both lane lists.

Coverage is not lost where it counts: isUnreadableError has unit tests that run
on every platform and every host, and the stores' refusal is exercised in full on
any machine where a denial is reproducible -- which is every developer box.

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.

* fix(native-chat): trust only authenticated local image uploads

* fix(build): preserve Windows process-tree patch application

* test(windows): include process creation time in addon fixture

* fix(build): run windows-process-tree node-gyp from the physical package dir

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.

* fix(native-chat): preserve folded echo anchors

* fix(native-chat): preserve forward-folded echo anchors

* fix(native-chat): keep leading folded echoes in place

* fix(workspace-cleanup): show git status for every row (#16690)

* fix(native-chat): refuse structured chat on every Windows execution path

canUseStructuredNativeChat only refused win32 when a project runtime
resolved, so folder-workspace keys (and other keys with no project
runtime) failed open into structured chat on Windows. Fail closed on
win32 unconditionally after the host check, matching the settings copy:
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.

* fix(native-chat): separate bounded journal key forms

* fix(native-chat): reset outbox error in render on session switch

The switch effect adjusted error state after the sessionId prop changed,
tripping react-doctor's no-adjust-state-on-prop-change on the changed-code
gate and flashing the old session's banner for a frame. Reset it with the
render-time previous-value guard instead.

* fix(native-chat): invalidate stale outbox settlements

* test(native-chat): restore settled-error session-switch regression

a6e2379bd1 replaced this test with the in-flight settlement race test,
leaving the render-time error reset unpinned: deleting the reset block
still passed the whole native-chat suite. Keep both scenarios pinned;
they are distinct (settled error clears on switch vs stale settlement
invalidated in the commit-to-passive window).

* test(wire): make release checkouts race safe

* test(wire): pin cross-process checkout single-flight and importer specifier contract

* test(wire): harden release checkout lifecycle

* fix(build): drop CR-byte residue from windows-process-tree patch

The two trailing CR bytes on the patch's deletion lines are a proven
no-op: pnpm hashes patches CRLF-normalized (both forms hash to the
lockfile's 946ffb2b) and materializes this package without applying the
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.

* fix(native-chat): skip empty startup recovery

Neil f975035809 refactor(ipc): split preflight and SSH registry out of the ipcMain modules (#15927)
* refactor(preflight): split agent detection out of the ipcMain registration

First of the IPC extractions the revised design requires. `src/main/ipc/preflight.ts`
mixed 285 lines of agent/tool detection with 35 lines of `ipcMain.handle`
registration, and the runtime calls that detection during normal operation
(`orca-runtime.ts:573`, plus the preflight RPC methods). So the runtime dragged
`ipcMain` into its graph to reach pure logic.

Detection moves to `src/main/preflight/agent-detection.ts` — named for what it
contains, per AGENTS.md. `ipc/preflight.ts` keeps only the handler registration and
re-exports the domain module so existing importers are unaffected. The runtime and
its RPC methods now import the domain module directly.

Ratchet baseline 36 → 35: `src/main/ipc/preflight.ts` is no longer reachable from
the runtime. The gate detected the improvement and refused to pass until the
baseline tightened, which is the behaviour it was built for.

Verified: 2 files / 1,187 tests pass across every suite touching preflight;
`pnpm typecheck` clean; `oxlint` clean.

* refactor(ssh): split the SSH target registry out of the ipcMain module

Second IPC extraction, and by far the biggest win: this removes **eight** modules
from the runtime's Electron graph, taking the ratchet baseline 35 → 27.

The runtime needed five thin accessors from `src/main/ipc/ssh.ts` —
`connectRegisteredSshTarget`, `getRegisteredSshState`, `listRegisteredSshTargets`,
`listRegisteredRemovedSshTargetLabels`, `getActiveMultiplexer`. Each is a one-line
read over module-level state. Importing them dragged in `ipcMain`, `powerMonitor`
and a `BrowserWindow` accessor — and, transitively, `ipc/pty.ts` (8,031 lines),
`ssh-browse`, `ssh-passphrase`, `ssh-relay-deploy`, `ssh-remote-cli-host-passthrough`,
`wsl-hook-relay-launch` and `user-data-path`.

`src/main/ssh/ssh-target-registry.ts` now holds that state plus its accessors.
`registerSshHandlers` populates it; the runtime reads it. The indirection is kept
deliberately: SSH providers register after construction and may reconnect, so
callers must resolve the current generation rather than freeze one.
`ipc/ssh.ts` re-exports all five, so non-test importers are unaffected.

`connectRegisteredSshTarget` still throws `ssh_handlers_not_registered` when no
handler layer registered — a headless host must fail loudly rather than report a
target as unreachable, which would read as `exited` (see ssh-execution-boundary.md).

Verified: 9 files / 59 tests across the ssh, automations and trust-preset suites;
orca-runtime.test.ts 1,183 pass; `pnpm typecheck` clean; `oxlint` clean.

* refactor(host): resolve the app root through the port in fork-reachable modules

`parcel-watcher-entry-path.ts` and `session-scanner-service-entry-path.ts` read the
app root via `require('electron').app` inside a try/catch that already returns null
when Electron is absent. They were therefore correct under plain Node at runtime and
only failed the *static* text check — which is real, not pedantic: the comment in
`ports/port-scan-command-client.ts:19` records that the plain-node-entry-guard fails
on that literal text, try/catch or not.

`hasAppEnvironment() ? getAppEnvironment() : null` gives the identical "no app root
here" answer without the text. That restores `hasAppEnvironment`, which an earlier
commit in this stack deleted as unused — it now has the caller it was waiting for.

Ratchet baseline 27 → 25.

Verified: 74 files / 458 tests; `pnpm typecheck` clean; `oxlint` clean.

* test(ssh): mock the SSH target registry alongside the ipc/ssh mock

Thirty-eight suites mocked `vi.mock('./ssh')` for `getActiveMultiplexer`. That
factory went inert when production started importing the accessor from
`../ssh/ssh-target-registry`, so the real module loaded and the assertions drifted.

Adds a companion registry mock returning the same stub, plus a
`sshTargetRegistryModuleMock` builder beside the existing `sshModuleMock` so the
shared harness stays one place. No assertion changed.

Found by a full-suite run: the targeted ssh/runtime suites were green while
30 tests in ipc/worktrees and ipc/repos were not.

* refactor(runtime): read app paths and the packaged flag through the port

`orca-runtime.ts` is the last module in its own graph that imports `electron`
directly. Nineteen of its uses were `app.getPath` (12) and `app.isPackaged` (7) —
exactly what the AppEnvironment port already covers.

Also removes a dead `const { app } = require('electron')` inside
`getOrchestrationDb`. It was left unused once the path came from the port, and it
is precisely the dynamic-require pattern `plain-node-entry-guard.ts` exists to
catch, sitting in the runtime's own constructor path.

What still binds `orca-runtime.ts` to Electron is now three sites, not nineteen:
`new Notification(...)` (one), `BrowserWindow.fromId` (one), and the
`ipcMain.on('terminal:tabCreateReply')` renderer round-trip — which is the browser
tab path, and the same one that would hang a headless host for ten seconds.

Two suites drove `electronMocks.app.isPackaged` directly; they now install a fake
AppEnvironment reading the same mutable field, so their per-test toggles work
unchanged and no assertion moved.

Verified: 376 files / 4,717 tests across src/main/runtime; typecheck and oxlint clean.

* test(serve): add the built-artifact terminal round-trip acceptance smoke

"The server started" proves almost nothing. Terminal creation dispatches into
OrcaRuntimeService, and without an installed headless PTY controller that path
falls through to a renderer reply that never arrives and times out after ten
seconds. A boot probe, a port bind, and a `host.platform` call all pass against a
server whose terminals are dead — which is exactly the gap the design doc's own
boot proof was retracted for.

This boots the BUILT `out/main/index.js --serve`, parses its ready payload, pairs a
real client over the advertised endpoint, lists worktrees, creates a terminal, runs
a command through the PTY, asserts the output comes back, and asserts clean
shutdown. It drives nothing but the public pairing + RPC surface, so the same
script is the acceptance gate a future Node-only backend must pass unchanged.

The sentinel invokes `process.execPath` rather than `echo`, because the shell
differs per platform and node does not.

Verified both directions: passes against the real server, and fails with an
actionable message when the command produces no output — a smoke that cannot fail
is worthless.

* fix(ssh): fail loudly when the multiplexer resolver was never installed

`getActiveMultiplexer` resolves through a resolver that `ipc/ssh.ts` installs at
module scope. A process that never loads the SSH layer — which is the whole point
of the Node-only backend — would get `undefined` from every call.

`undefined` already means something specific here: "not connected". So a missing
resolver and a disconnected target were indistinguishable, and a host with no SSH
layer would quietly report every target as not connected. That is the
unverifiable-reported-as-exited conflation `docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md`
exists to prevent — the doc is explicit that absence of contact is never evidence
of absence of the thing.

A missing resolver is a wiring error, not a connection state, so it throws, matching
what `connectRegisteredSshTarget` already does for unregistered handlers.

Verified: 432 files / 4,759 tests across ipc, ssh, preflight, automations and trust
presets; typecheck and oxlint clean.

* refactor(pty): stop faking a BrowserWindow for the headless PTY path

`registerHeadlessPtyRuntime` passed `registerPtyHandlers` a stub object cast to
`BrowserWindow` whose `isDestroyed()` returned true and whose `webContents.send`
was a no-op — a window-shaped thing that lied about being a window, purely to
satisfy the type. Adversarial review named it as the same "looks fine, silently
returns a lie" pattern this codebase rejects elsewhere, and it is the shape that
keeps `electron` on a path that otherwise needs none.

`registerPtyHandlers` now takes `BrowserWindow | null`. An absent renderer is
semantically identical to a destroyed one — all 42 call sites already guarded on
`isDestroyed()` and skipped — so `src/main/ipc/pty-renderer-surface.ts` states that
directly: `isRendererGone`, `sendToRenderer`, `rendererWebContents`. The compound
`isDestroyed() || webContents.isDestroyed()` guards collapse into one predicate.

`isPtyWriteEventFromMainWindow` becomes null-tolerant and fails closed: with no
renderer no sender can legitimately match, so every write is rejected. Those
handlers cannot fire headless today, but failing closed is the right answer if that
ever changes.

This is the precondition for installing a PTY controller without Electron, which is
what a Node-only backend needs and what `terminal.create` actually calls.

Verified: 129 files / 2,473 tests across ipc/pty, providers and orca-runtime; the
built-artifact acceptance smoke still passes end-to-end (boot → pair →
terminal.create → sentinel → close), which is the check that matters most here
since this changes the headless PTY path itself; typecheck and oxlint clean.

* refactor(pty): read app paths and the packaged flag through the port

Follows the fake-window removal. `ipc/pty.ts` had nine `app.*` reads — all
`getPath`, `getVersion` or `isPackaged` — which the AppEnvironment port already
covers. The `BrowserWindow` import was also dead after the null-window change.

What still binds this file to Electron is now `ipcMain` (75 uses, all handler
registration) and `powerMonitor` (2). That is a clean statement of the remaining
job: split logic from registration, the same shape already applied to preflight
and the SSH registry.

Test wiring: the shared `pty-ipc-suite-environment` beforeEach installs a fake
AppEnvironment that reads through the existing `vi.mock('electron')` app object
rather than freezing values — suites toggle `app.isPackaged` mid-test to exercise
dev-mode spawn paths, so the port has to observe the same mutable field. One edit
in the shared harness covers every pty suite.

Verified: 128 files / 1,290 tests across ipc/pty and providers; the built-artifact
acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and oxlint clean; ratchet unchanged at 25.

* refactor(pty): inject the ipcMain surface so the PTY module loads without Electron

This closes the round-3 blocker: "the doc never says how orcad installs
setPtyController without Electron."

`registerPtyHandlers` owns the `RuntimePtyController` that `terminal.create`
actually spawns through — the thing a Node backend needs and cannot get from the
provider thunks. The module was otherwise host-agnostic already; the only thing
pinning 8,031 lines to Electron was a static `ipcMain` / `powerMonitor` import used
purely to register renderer handlers that no headless host will ever receive.

`src/main/ipc/pty-host-bindings.ts` makes those surfaces settable, defaulting to
no-ops. Unlike AppEnvironment and SecretStore, the default does NOT throw: a host
with no renderer legitimately has nothing to register against, so not registering
handlers nobody can call is correct rather than a hidden downgrade. The desktop
installs the real objects in `attach-main-window-services` before its handlers run.

Also converts the remaining electron import to a top-level `import type`. oxlint's
`no-import-type-side-effects` caught that inline `type` specifiers still leave a
side-effect import — precisely the "type-only is not enough if esbuild still emits
require('electron')" trap a reviewer flagged.

**`src/main/ipc/pty.ts` now bundles with zero `require("electron")`.** A Node entry
can call `registerPtyHandlers(null, runtime, …)` and get a working PTY controller.

Verified: 128 files / 1,290 tests across ipc/pty and providers; the built-artifact
acceptance smoke passes end-to-end — which is the check that matters, since this
changes how every PTY handler registers; typecheck and oxlint clean.

* fix(pty-bindings): drop two unused eslint-disable directives

CI runs oxlint with unused-disable reporting; the two
`@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any` suppressions I added were never triggered by
any enabled rule, so they failed static analysis as dead directives. The `any[]`
rest args stay — they mirror electron's own IpcMain signature, and narrowing them
would reject the real object at the desktop call site.

Verified with the exact CI invocation: `oxlint --format github` reports 0 warnings,
0 errors across the repo.

* fix(pty): install the host bindings per process, not per window

A real regression my own change introduced, caught by the SSH docker E2E
(`paired-startup-exec-readiness` — "recovers startup exec through a headed paired
desktop owner"). It reproduced on rerun, so it was not a flake.

`setPtyHostBindings` was called inside `attachMainWindowServices`, i.e. when a
window attaches. But `registerHeadlessPtyRuntime` (index.ts:3163) calls
`registerPtyHandlers` on the serve path *before* any window exists — so those
handlers registered against the no-op default and never reached the real `ipcMain`.
A paired desktop owner then attached to a runtime whose PTY handlers were wired to
nothing.

The bindings describe the *host*, not the *window*: an Electron main process always
has `ipcMain`, whether or not a window is open. Installing them beside
`setAppEnvironment`/`setSecretStore` at the top of bootstrap fixes both paths.

Verified: 128 files / 1,290 tests; the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes;
typecheck clean; `oxlint --format github` (the exact CI invocation) reports 0/0.

* feat(orcad): de-electron the runtime core and add the Node entry + build gate

**`src/main/runtime/orca-runtime.ts` — 41,048 lines — no longer imports electron.**
Its last three sites go through `runtime-desktop-surface.ts`: a native notification,
the authoritative-window lookup, and the one `ipcMain` channel used by the
renderer-backed tab-create fallback. All three are unreachable without a renderer —
`createTerminal` already takes the background branch when no window exists (#10333) —
so a Node host installs none and the runtime relays notifications to paired clients,
which is the better destination anyway. Ratchet 25 → 24.

Adds `src/main/orcad/orcad-entry.ts`: Node host adapters plus a `startOrcad` that
constructs the runtime, installs the PTY controller via `registerPtyHandlers(null, …)`,
and serves RPC. It sets two defaults the constructor gets wrong for a headless host —
`canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys: false` (no daemon here) and
`getDesktopWindowStatus: 'blocked'` (a Node host can never be promoted to a desktop
window, which is what `'openable'` claims).

Adds `config/scripts/build-orcad.mjs`, which **currently fails, on purpose**: 25
modules still import electron (browser and speech clusters, plugins, jira/proxy,
filesystem-watcher, and four `require('electron').app` one-liners). It names them.

Two bugs found while building it, both worth recording:
- The first bundle looked clean and was not. `electron` was bundleable, so esbuild
  rewrote the metafile `path` to the resolved file under node_modules and a check for
  `path === 'electron'` passed while the package was in the bundle — it failed at
  runtime with electron's own installer message. The check now reads `original`, and
  electron is marked external so a residual import fails loudly instead.
- `jsonc-parser`'s UMD build breaks the bundle at load; aliased to its ESM entry, the
  same fix `build-relay.mjs` already carries.

Verified: desktop unchanged — the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes, runtime/pty/
provider suites green, typecheck clean, `oxlint --format github` 0/0.

* refactor(host): drop the last two require('electron') app lookups

`computer/sidecar-client.ts` and `ports/port-scan-command-client.ts` read the app
root through `require('electron').app` inside a try/catch. Both were already correct
under plain Node at runtime — they return null when it throws — but the literal text
fails the plain-Node entry guard regardless, which is why port-scan carried a comment
warning it must never become reachable from a fork entry.

Reading the AppEnvironment port gives the identical "no app root here" answer without
the text, so that warning is now obsolete and the comment says so.

Ratchet 24 → 22. Every remaining entry is a real coupling: the browser cluster (15,
which variant B does not ship), speech (2), plugins (2), and jira/proxy-settings (2,
needing an HttpClient port for Chromium session partitions).

Verified: 25 files / 209 tests; acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and
`oxlint --format github` clean.

* docs(orcad): record that the ratchet under-counts orcad's graph

The ratchet reports 22 electron importers; the orcad build reports 23. The extra is
agent-hooks/wsl-hook-relay-launch.ts, and the cause is a gap in the gate rather than
a rounding error: the ratchet measures what orca-runtime + runtime-rpc reach, while
orcad's entry also imports ipc/pty directly to install the PTY controller.

Once orcad ships it must become a ratchet entry point, or the two numbers drift and
the gate quietly stops covering the artifact it exists for.

* refactor(runtime): inject the browser commands factory

Drops 14 modules from the runtime's Electron graph in one change — the whole Chromium
browser cluster. Ratchet 22 → 8.

`OrcaRuntimeService` constructed `RuntimeBrowserCommands` as a field initializer, and
that construction is what pulled in `BrowserWindow`, `session`, `webContents` and the
cookie jars. Importing the class for its *type* is free; only building it costs.

So the class import becomes `import type`, and the instance comes from
`runtime-browser-commands-factory.ts`. The desktop installs the real factory at the
Electron entry. **All ~80 existing `this.browserCommands.*.bind(...)` delegations are
untouched** — a review round specifically warned that rewriting those was the
expensive, risky part, and this avoids it entirely.

With no factory installed, browser commands reject per call with `browser_unavailable`
rather than resolving to a stub that silently succeeds. The runtime already filters
browser capabilities out of `getStatus()` when no backend exists, so clients do not
offer the affordance in the first place.

Also corrects a stale comment in `pty-renderer-surface.ts` that still described the
fake window as present tense; it was deleted two commits ago.

Verified: 451 files / 5,513 tests across `src/main/browser` and `src/main/runtime` —
the entire browser automation suite; the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes;
`pnpm typecheck` and `oxlint --format github` clean.

* refactor(host): extract the plugin client list and port two app lookups

Ratchet 8 → 5.

- `listPluginsForClients` moves to `src/main/plugins/plugin-client-list.ts`. It needed
  only three `plugins/*` helpers, none of them Electron — it was colocated with
  `ipcMain.handle` registrations, so the runtime's `plugins.list` RPC dragged all of
  Electron in to call a function that reads a lockfile. Same shape as preflight.
  Dropping it also releases `ipc/plugin-marketplaces.ts`.
- `agent-hooks/wsl-hook-relay-launch.ts` and `speech/stt-service.ts` read `getAppPath`
  and `isPackaged` through the AppEnvironment port.

The five that remain are all genuinely Chromium and need the HttpClient port or a
watcher split, not another mechanical swap: `browser/cdp-bridge` (webContents),
`ipc/filesystem-watcher` (ipcMain), `jira/authenticated-request` and
`network/proxy-settings` (net + session partitions), `speech/model-manager`
(`net.request`, which honors app proxy settings that Node https does not — replacing
it is a behaviour change, not a rename).

Verified: 219 files / 1,922 tests across plugins, speech, agent-hooks and the runtime
RPC methods; the built-artifact acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and
`oxlint --format github` clean.

* refactor(network): resolve the default proxy session lazily

Ratchet 5 → 4.

`proxy-settings.ts` needed exactly one Electron value: `session.defaultSession`, as
the fallback when a caller does not pass `options.proxySession`. Callers could already
inject a session; only the default was hard-wired. It now comes from a settable
resolver, so the module loads under plain Node.

**A resolver rather than a Session, because a Session eagerly throws.** The first
attempt installed `session.defaultSession` directly in pre-ready bootstrap and broke
startup outright — `TypeError: Session can only be received when app is ready`. The
acceptance smoke caught it before commit. Deferring to first use is always after ready.

Behaviour with no session is not a degradation: there is no Chromium proxy config to
discover, so `resolveProxy` is skipped and the environment variables become the whole
answer rather than a fallback. Applying rules to a session that does not exist is
likewise skipped; settings are still honoured because outbound requests read the env.

This reaches past Jira — a review round noted `ensureElectronProxyFromEnvironment` is
also on the Claude HTTP path via `oauth-refresh.ts` and `rate-limits/claude-fetcher.ts`.

Verified: 48 files / 526 tests across network, jira and rate-limits; the
built-artifact acceptance smoke passes; typecheck and `oxlint --format github` clean.

* fix(index): merge the duplicate proxy-settings import

CI's code-quality lint (`oxlint --config config/oxlint-code-quality-native-plugins.json
--deny-warnings`) flags a module imported twice in one file. My earlier insertion added
a second `./network/proxy-settings` import beside the existing one.

Verified with CI's exact invocation: exit 0.

* refactor(network): add the HttpClient port and lift BrowserError out of cdp-bridge

Ratchet 4 → 2.

Two unrelated couplings, both of the same shape — a small thing living inside a
Chromium-heavy file.

`BrowserError` is a seven-line error class with no dependencies, but it lived in
`browser/cdp-bridge.ts`, which imports `webContents`. The runtime catches that type on
paths with nothing to do with CDP, so one import kept a Node host from loading the
runtime at all. Moved to `browser/browser-error.ts`; cdp-bridge re-exports it.

`jira/authenticated-request.ts` fetches through `net.fetch` and reads
`session.defaultSession`. `network/http-client.ts` makes both settable. This one is a
**named port rather than a silent fallback, because the fallback is not transparent**:
Electron's net follows Chromium session/proxy state, avoids undici's stale keep-alive
sockets after a VPN path change, and sends a Chrome user agent that Jira's XSRF check
depends on. A Node host gets `globalThis.fetch`, reads proxy config from the
environment, and sends Node's user agent. That difference is documented at the port.

`session.defaultSession` is read per call, not captured at install — it throws before
the app is ready, which is the mistake the previous commit made and the acceptance
smoke caught.

Test wiring: `jira/client.test.ts` installs the port *inside* `loadClientModule`, after
its `vi.resetModules()`, since the reset gives the module a fresh singleton.

Verified: 461 files / 5,616 tests across jira, browser, network and runtime; the
built-artifact acceptance smoke passes; typecheck, `oxlint --format github` and the
code-quality lint with `--deny-warnings` all clean.

* fix(http-client): register the Node fetch fallback with the call-site audit

`global-fetch-call-site-audit.test.ts` guards every global-fetch use, because the
global runs on undici where an unread response body can crash the whole process
(orca#8695). The HttpClient port's Node fallback is a new such call site and was
unregistered — the guard caught it in a full-suite run.

Registered with the reasoning, and the port's doc comment now states the body-safety
contract explicitly: it hands the Response straight to its caller and never inspects
it, so the consume/cancel obligation stays exactly where it already was — with the
caller, unchanged from when they called Electron's net directly.

Two comments elsewhere mentioned the global by name and tripped the line scan as false
positives; reworded to describe the behaviour rather than name the API.

Verified: audit passes; typecheck and `oxlint --format github` clean.

* fix(app-environment): read hasAppEnvironment through the realm slot

Neil 77f23b013f refactor(shared): drop the shared/types barrel and import from the real modules (#14447)
#14397 split `shared/types.ts` into 46 per-domain modules but kept the path as
a re-export barrel so the import sites did not have to change. This removes
the barrel: every consumer now imports from the module that actually declares
the type, and `src/shared/types.ts` is deleted.

Barrels hide where a type lives, make every consumer look like it depends on
the whole domain, and let an unrelated edit invalidate a module that ~2,000
files transitively import.

2,323 import declarations across 2,321 files. Rewritten mechanically: each
specifier was resolved to an absolute path via the TypeScript AST and
recomputed, rather than string-substituted, so alias forms (`@/../../shared/
types`) and per-specifier `type` modifiers survive.

Four cases the mechanical pass had to handle, each found by a gate rather than
by reading the diff:

- Modules inside `src/shared` import the barrel as `./types`, not
  `shared/types`. A pre-filter on the latter string skipped 176 of them and
  left imports dangling at a deleted file, which surfaced as confusing
  `Property 'x' is optional in type 'Repo' but required in Pick<Repo, ...>`
  errors rather than "module not found".
- The barrel RENAMED one type on the way through
  (`WorkspaceSource as WorkspaceCreateTelemetrySource`), so the original name
  in the owning module has to be re-aliased at each consumer.
- Three test files put `;(globalThis as ...)` on the line after the import.
  TypeScript parses that `;` as the import statement's terminator, so
  replacing through `statement.getEnd()` deletes it and breaks ASI. The
  rewrite now stops at the module specifier.
- A file that already imported directly from a module got a SECOND import
  from it, because the barrel re-exported those same names — which trips
  `import/no-duplicates` under `--deny-warnings`. A post-pass merges
  declarations sharing a specifier and type-only-ness; the `import type` plus
  `import` pair from one module is left alone, since that form is allowed.

Splitting one barrel import into several genuinely adds lines, which pushed
`terminal-layout-pty-ownership.ts` to 301 counted lines: its 107-character
import must wrap, and neither local type collapses onto one line (101 and 116
characters). Rather than contort a type declaration to fit a line budget,
`collectLeafIds` and `pruneLeaves` move to `terminal-pane-layout-tree.ts` —
they are pure structural operations on the layout tree and independent of PTY
ownership. `visible-worktrees.ts` similarly loses its own mini-barrel
re-export of `isDefaultBranchWorkspace`, with the four real consumers
repointed at the declaring module. No `max-lines` bypass added.

Verified: cold `tsc --noEmit` green on node, cli, and web (buildinfo deleted
first — these projects are `composite: true` and reuse stale caches); the full
`pnpm lint` green, not just bare oxlint — the narrower local check is what let
the duplicate imports reach CI; max-lines ratchet OK at 344.

Neil 991a3fe963 chore(lint): update oxlint to 1.77 and enable no-op cleanup rules (#13901)
Enable eleven oxlint rules that simplify code without changing behavior, and fix
every existing violation. Each candidate was gated on measured cost rather than
assumption, so rules that regressed runtime performance or type checking were
dropped instead of suppressed.

typescript/no-redundant-type-constituents is the largest addition: 113 sites, no
autofix. Dead constituents are deleted. Where the redundant literal existed to
document intent (`string | 'all'`), it is preserved as `(string & {})`, which
keeps the autocomplete hint the original code was reaching for instead of
flattening it away. The rule also caught a broken import —
remote-shared-control-retirement-probe.ts pulled RuntimeStatus from
src/shared/types, which does not export it, so the type silently degraded to
`any`; no tsconfig covers that file, so tsc never saw it.

oxlint stays at 1.77.0 rather than 1.78.0 because .npmrc sets
minimum-release-age=4320 and 1.78.0 is younger than that window.

Rules evaluated and rejected, with what disqualified each:
- prefer-string-raw: String.raw is a runtime call, not a literal (184x slower)
- prefer-string-replace-all: 26% slower

Brennan Benson 39c3c58d55 perf(runtime): gate terminal.list visual layouts (#12450)
* 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

8c5371ebad fix(worktrees): respect Windows shell for setup runners (#6967)
* 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`

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* 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.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* 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.

NeilandOrca 73c5009b82 chore(dead-code): drop ~2k lines of unreachable exports and orphan modules (#12077)
* 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.

NeilandOrca 5c59c84c7a fix(plugins): close four trust-boundary holes in the plugin system (#11232)
* fix(plugins): close trust-boundary holes in the plugin system

Move five security decisions to their chokepoints rather than leaving them
enumerated at individual call sites.

- Kill-list revocation reaches content packs: PluginContentPackRegistry now
  takes an isKilled predicate and intersects it with any caller-supplied
  approval, so a killed plugin's VM recipes can no longer reach
  spawn(..., { shell: true }) through either reconcile() call site.
- Bound kill-list generatedAt to a 24h future skew at the parse chokepoint.
  A far-future timestamp previously made every genuine later list look
  "older" and disabled revocation permanently, persisted across restarts.
- Protect the whole auto.components.settings.Plugin* translation subtree
  instead of an enumerated prefix list, so language packs cannot forge the
  consent provenance badge or rewrite install-error security copy.
- Resolve manifest panel icons by own-key only; "constructor"/"__proto__"
  previously yielded non-component prototype members that crashed the
  right sidebar to its error boundary.
- Give panel liveness frames a reserved control budget so a panel that
  saturates its action budget can still answer the watchdog.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* fix(plugins): keep the kill-list future bound off the cache read path

The schema-level generatedAt bound re-judged the on-disk cache against the
device clock at every launch, so a client whose clock ran behind the last
genuine publication discarded its whole cached kill list and started with
zero revocations. Move the bound to the two fetch chokepoints instead.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* fix(plugins): remove the reserved-lane starvation window and the revocation TOCTOU

Review follow-ups on the trust-boundary fixes:

- The reserved liveness lane had a per-window count equal to the ping
  interval, so a panel's own pong-shaped traffic could spend it and drop
  the next genuine reply — reintroducing the starvation the lane exists to
  prevent. The lane is now size-bounded only; rate stays bounded because
  every pong is also charged to the data budget.
- Only schema-valid pongs take the lane now, so near-miss pong-shaped junk
  cannot drain it. readPanelPongId replaces the zod parse on this
  guest-controlled path (a rejected safeParse allocates an issue list, ~90x
  the accepted-path cost) and is pinned to the schema by a parity test.
- Re-read the kill list inside approveAtomically: approvedKeys is snapshotted
  before an awaited verification phase, so a plugin killed during that wait
  could still publish VM recipes and language packs.
- Assert the curated icon resolves to FileText; the old equality also passed
  when both sides fell back to Plug.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* fix(plugins): match zod's safe-integer bound in the pong reader

readPanelPongId used Number.isInteger, but zod's .int() rejects anything
above 2**53-1, so pingIds like 1e100 took the reserved lane the schema
would have refused. The parity test never probed that boundary.

NeilandOrca 97e4776dfe feat(plugins): Orca plugin system — kernel, content packs, panels, workers, marketplace v0 (experimental) (#8549)
* feat(plugins): Orca plugin system — kernel, content packs, panels, workers, marketplace v0 (experimental)

Adds Orca's experimental plugin system behind a settings flag: a
supervised kernel, declarative content packs (VM recipes, commands and
keybindings, language packs), sandboxed iframe panels, forked worker
hosts, and a Git-backed marketplace v0 with consent, provenance and
kill-list enforcement.

Theme, icon-theme and terminal-theme contributions are deferred to a
follow-up pass.

* fix(plugins): make unsupported marketplace listings unreachable by key

findPlugin() backs preview/install/previewInstalledUpdate via
requireListing(), so filtering only listPlugins() hid the catalog card
while leaving the dead install path reachable one click later.

* fix(plugins): fan Pi session-only status out to plugin subscribers

The providerSessionOnly early-return in applyNormalizedStatus emitted to
onAgentStatus (main-window fanout) but skipped enrichedStatusListeners, so
plugins subscribed to agent.status.changed silently missed every Pi
session_start event. Route both emit sites through one helper so a future
early return cannot drop the plugin tap again.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* plugins: drop dead code and hoist duplicated trust-boundary patterns

Cleanup pass over the P1 diff, no behavior change:

- Delete `readPluginTreeSnapshot`/`readSnapshotFile` and their types, plus
  the now-vestigial `directories`/`signal` plumbing in `collectFiles`.
- Delete `resolveContainedPluginDirectory` (no callers).
- Delete `plugin-content-load-pool.ts`; it reimplemented the existing
  `mapWithConcurrency`, whose index arg also removes the pairing wrapper
  in `buildPluginList`.
- Hoist `PLUGIN_CONTENT_HASH_PATTERN` and `PLUGIN_COMMIT_PATTERN` into
  the install-lockfile module; 11 sites hand-rolled these identically.
- Point the new reliability gate at the PR instead of gitignored docs
  paths, matching every other gate's link form.

* fix(plugins): retry plugin state renames on Windows AV/EPERM locks

Six plugin write paths (lockfile, provenance, current pointer, kill
list, marketplace cache, staged install dir) did a plain rename, so an
antivirus or indexer holding the target open surfaced as a failed
install. The repo already retries this hazard for issue #1507, but only
through a sync helper; these paths are all async.

Adds one bounded async retry + atomic write used by all six, and trims a
consent-provenance header that restated its own JSX.

* test(plugins): cover the Windows rename retry path

The retry loop shipped untested: both existing cases hit the non-retry path,
and the temp-cleanup test passed identically with the `finally` removed.
Mock `rename` to queue errno codes so CI can exercise locks it cannot provoke.

* fix(plugins): pin bundled plugin resources to LF

Windows CI checks out with autocrlf, so the byte-hashed launch tree arrived
as CRLF and verify-packaged-plugin-resources rejected it — the packaged build
could never pass on Windows. Reproduced locally: CRLF yields the exact CI
error, LF verifies clean. Files are already LF, so nothing renormalizes.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* test: guard the bundled-plugin LF pin against a CRLF checkout

The byte-hash mismatch only surfaced in Windows packaging CI. Assert the
.gitattributes pin and that a CRLF tree is rejected, so a regression fails
on any platform instead of waiting for a packaged Windows build.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* ci: trigger packaged-build check on bundled plugin resource changes

The launch tree is byte-hashed during packaging, but no trigger path covered
it — so the CRLF fix for that check would not have re-run the check. Add the
resources, verifier and .gitattributes paths that can break packaging.

* perf(plugins): rebuild the panel frame only when its baked theme values change

The revision keys the panel iframe, so every bump destroys the sandboxed
frame and its in-panel state. It counted root attribute mutations, but
--workspace-sidebar-live-width is written every rAF of a sidebar drag, so
dragging with a panel open blanked it ~60x/sec. Compare the two values the
shell actually bakes in instead.

Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>

* test: stop pinning a plugin name in the CRLF guard

The CRLF case rewrites every launch file, so the reported mismatch is
whichever plugin sorts first. P2 adds theme plugins that sort ahead of
orca-navigation-shortcuts, which broke the assertion there.

* style: drop stray blank lines left by the rebase resolutions

Both sides of the agent-hooks and orca-runtime conflicts contributed a
trailing blank, which oxfmt rejects. Whitespace only.

* test(plugins): stop the startup budget failing on machine load

P95 runs 16-34ms idle but exceeds the 50ms bound under full-suite
parallelism, so the gate flaked. Widen it to catch an order-of-magnitude
regression instead; the no-worker/no-plugin-code assertions are the real
guarantee. Verified a 400ms regression still fails.
