* fix(crash-reporting): make the own-Chromium gate a real choke point

Round-3 review found the guard was not the choke point its own comments
claimed: six pid-addressed `taskkill /pid <pid> /t /f` families in main were
ungated and uninstrumented, so the stale-pid shape stayed producible and a
`selfInitiatedTreeKillCount: 0` could read as exculpatory when it was not.

- Gate the remaining main-process families: the git command-runner abort, the
  notebook-cell and automation-precheck timeouts.
- Turn the `src/shared` seam into the gate itself (`process-tree-kill-gate`), so
  the runProcess choke point, the codex app-server deadline kill and the
  ephemeral-VM recipe kill ask the same decision. Those three are compiled into
  the CLI/relay too and cannot import main; main installs the guard at preflight.
- Ratchet (`main-process-tree-kill-gate.test.ts`): a new pid-addressed taskkill
  in main that skips the gate fails, and the allowlist entries must still exist.
- Give pid-addressed kills eviction priority in the 32-entry ring: 32 routine
  `win-pty-job` teardowns from a window-close burst no longer evict the one
  entry that discriminates a self-kill from an external one.
- Correct the coverage doc, which described the uninstrumented Windows sites as
  POSIX `process.kill(-pid)` group kills and omitted the git and codex paths.

* fix(crash-reporting): keep a refused tree-kill from leaking the root it owns

A refusal must block the pid-addressed tree walk, not the termination. Five of
the six gated sites returned on refusal with no fallback, so a refused
`taskkill /pid /t /f` left git.exe, a timed-out notebook cell, an automation
precheck or an ephemeral-VM recipe running while the caller reported it stopped.
The root kill is addressed by the child handle, which cannot reach the recycled
pid the refusal is about, so it stays correct and required on that path.

Also fixes the ring eviction the scope preference introduced: with the ring
saturated by pid-addressed kills, the only non-pid-addressed entry is the one
just pushed, so the splice evicted itself and the detail came back `{}` --
byte-identical to the external-kill arm, in the window-close case the guard
exists for. Eviction now excludes the newest entry and falls back to FIFO.

Tests: refusal now asserts the root kill at all six sites, and the ring covers
the saturated-pid ordering as well as round 3's group-burst ordering.

* fix(crash-reporting): stop a refused tree-kill leaking the commit-message agent, and count call sites

Two round-5 blocking findings, both open on main and on both branches.

`killSourceControlAgentProcess` had no root-kill fallback on its win32 arm: the
taskkill was the only termination, so once the own-Chromium gate could refuse it
the promise resolved having killed nothing. Both callers do
`terminationComplete ??= killSourceControlAgentProcess(child)` and then release
the managed-home lock on that promise, so a refusal left the local Codex/Claude
commit-message agent running while the caller reported it stopped -- the
lock-contention failure the taskkill was added for. Same fix as the six sibling
sites: the handle-addressed root kill cannot reach the recycled pid the refusal
is about, so it stays correct and required on that path.

The ratchet was file-granular, not call-site granular: one gate mention anywhere
in a file exempted every taskkill in it, which left the six files that now ask
the gate ratchet-blind -- the inverse of what it is for. It now counts `/pid`
call sites against gate admissions per file, so a second ungated kill inside an
existing family fails. Keying on the `/pid` argument rather than a quoted
`taskkill` also catches a kill whose program name comes from a constant. The
three comments that claimed more than the old scan enforced now state the rule
and its two remaining blind spots.

Also: the recording in `admitSelfInitiatedTreeKill` is now wrapped the way the
`admitProcessTreeKill` seam already wraps it, with the refusal decision taken
before anything that can throw so a diagnostics failure cannot flip it; and
`orca-chromium-process-pids` documents the false-positive direction (a stale
`getAppMetrics()` entry plus pid reuse refuses a live unrelated child), which is
the mechanism the root-kill fallback exists to bound.

Tests: refusal now asserts the root kill at all seven sites; the ratchet asserts
call-site counting and the constant-program form.

* test(crash-reporting): run the own-Chromium gate against real Windows trees

Nothing on this branch had ever executed on Windows. The unit tests pin the
gate's decision against a mocked taskkill, which cannot show that the decision
does anything to a real process: that `/T /F` reaps a detached grandchild, that
a refusal leaves that tree standing, or that the handle-addressed root kill the
refusal path falls back to reaps the root while orphaning descendants.

Adds a win32-gated live test covering all four, registered in both the
`package_windows` CI lane and `WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS` as
`win32-test-lane-registration` requires.

Also completes the coverage doc's "never instrumented" list, which omitted the
macOS keyboard-input-source probe's POSIX group kill in `ipc/app.ts`.

* fix(crash-reporting): pin the commit-message root kill on the Windows arm

The first Windows run of this branch found nine failures the macOS suite
cannot see: `commit-message-text-generation-test-harness` asserts
`expect(child.kill).not.toHaveBeenCalled()` on `process.platform === 'win32'`,
which is the contract the previous commit deliberately replaced — and it
branches on the real platform, so it is dead code everywhere CI runs today.

The harness now asserts the handle-addressed root kill on every platform. On
win32 it lands after the tree walk, so the expectation waits rather than reading
one tick early, and its ten call sites await it. Red against the pre-fix arm at
all seven sites; the production code is unchanged.

* test(crash-reporting): remove the Windows lane marker tree through the retrying helper

The new win32 spec teardown used a raw rmSync, which the windows-lane-tree-removal
boundary ratchet rejects — and which is exactly the EPERM the ratchet exists to
prevent, since this spec's marker directory is written by processes it has just
force-killed.

* fix(crash-reporting): only refuse pid-addressed tree walks, disclose the handle-less codex site

The own-Chromium gate refused the POSIX process-group arm of
signalProcessTree as well, which was new macOS/Linux behaviour: a stale
getAppMetrics() entry plus pid reuse would orphan a group that main reaps
today. A POSIX group only holds what Orca put in it, so the refusal is now
scoped to win-taskkill-tree and the POSIX arm is recorded and admitted like
the other group kills in main. That also drops the synchronous
getAppMetrics() read from every POSIX termination.

codex-turn-added-roots kills roots found by a table walk, so a refusal has
no handle to fall back to. Pin that the refusal is visible - crumb written,
turn reported as not cancelled - rather than fixing what cannot be fixed.

'pins Claude handoff auth through the terminal provider boundary' is absent from main and its

of the terminal/native handoff work this PR excludes by scope.

Removed rather than repaired: the failure was a renamed field (providerHome -> providerRoot), and
renaming it would have carried out-of-scope handoff code into the merge. Body preserved as evidence
and logged in CLAUDE-STRUCTURED-DISPOSITION-TABLE.md.

* fix(claude): resolve Claude structured launch args, auth, and win32 proof

The origin/main merge re-expressed the lane's Claude wiring onto main's split
orca-runtime facade and dropped three wires past green typecheck and lint.

- resolveLaunchArgs discarded its provider parameter, so structured Claude
  sessions were launched with Codex app-server flags; Claude exits on
  --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox, and a Codex arg-parse throw
  could block Claude session creation outright.
- resolveClaudeLaunchEnv was no longer supplied, so the launch resolver fell
  back to the whole process env as configuredEnv and
  buildClaudeChildProcessEnv re-applied every auth var it had just stripped.
  The resolver now merges the Claude overlay onto a strip-applied copy of the
  inherited env, which also keeps PATH intact for withCliRuntimeOnPath.
- The windowsProcessStartTimeAvailable producer was gone while the contract
  field and both consumers survived, so the renderer gate fail-closed and
  structured native chat was unreachable on every win32 host.

Separately, structured Claude pinned CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR unconditionally. An
explicit pin makes the CLI abandon the macOS Keychain even when it names the
CLI's own default, so a default claude.ai account could not authenticate where
the legacy Claude terminal could. Pin only a home the CLI would not resolve on
its own, matching ClaudeRuntimePathResolver, and compare against the env the
child would otherwise inherit so a diverging overlay cannot outrank the
record's account home.

Also await the now-async revealNativeSession in its regression test, and set
the native status before revealing so a rejecting reveal cannot leave a
session released but never marked native.

* fix(claude): scrub case-insensitive Windows auth env

* fix(native-chat): settle handoff outcome-write failures instead of leaking them

A store write failure while recording a handoff outcome escaped the flow
runner's catch handler, so the client never received the failure and the
flow surfaced as an unhandled rejection (seen as an intermittent
agent_session_store_corrupt error in the proven-dead-retry suite, whose
teardown raced the flow's trailing outcome write). Record the failed
outcome best-effort, and drain the coordinator before that test's
teardown removes the store root.

* fix(native-chat): make the structured close-failure toast provider-neutral

The structuredSessionCloseFailed toast fires for any structured session,
but its copy said 'Codex chat', so a Claude structured session that fails
to close showed the wrong provider name. The launch-failure toast is only
reachable behind the agent === 'codex' gate, so its copy stays as is.

* fix(native-chat): wire structured handoff proof recovery

* fix(native-chat): wire structured handoff proof recovery

* fix(native-chat): correct the structured chat opt-in copy

The one `experimentalStructuredNativeChat` toggle gates both providers —
`useStructuredAgentSessionCreate` runs `canUseStructuredNativeChat` for
`'claude'` as well as `'codex'` — but its description named only Codex.

Its scope line also said Windows keeps using terminal chat, while the gate
refuses win32 only until the host proves it can read a process start time.
`structured-native-chat-availability.test.ts` already pins that Windows is
allowed once the proof is cached, so the two contradicted each other.

* test(claude): pin @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.251 contracts against a scripted CLI

PR 1 of the SDK migration: dependency + test-only harness, no product wiring.

- Pin @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk to exactly 0.3.251 — not the newest
  release — because 0.3.251 (published 2026-08-28) clears the repo's 3-day
  minimumReleaseAge supply-chain gate with no exclusion, while the newest
  release was minutes old and would have required excluding a brand-new
  publish from the exact control built to catch brand-new malicious
  publishes. Every contract this design depends on was verified identical
  on 0.3.251: the full option surface, no pid on SpawnedProcess (custom
  spawner stays mandatory), env defaulting to process.env when omitted, and
  --replay-user-messages appearing only via extraArgs.
- Exclude all eight bundled CLI platform binaries via
  ignoredOptionalDependencies. The setting lives in pnpm-workspace.yaml
  because pnpm 12 no longer reads the package.json "pnpm" field (it warns
  and ignores it; verified by install ablation). Excluding the binaries is
  what makes Orca's pathToClaudeCodeExecutable override mandatory rather
  than merely preferred. Note: pnpm 12.0.0 honors the ignore list when
  reconciling an existing lockfile but not on fresh resolution of a new
  dependency, so the lockfile's SDK entry was pinned surgically; both
  'pnpm install' and 'pnpm install --frozen-lockfile' verify clean and
  stable against the committed lockfile.
- Contract-pin suite drives the real SDK against a scripted fake CLI and pins:
  unknown type/field/content-block pass-through (and keep_alive interception),
  spawner env fidelity plus the omitted-env process.env inheritance sharp edge,
  extraArgs producing --replay-user-messages, argument parity for every
  CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_BASE_ARGS entry plus --session-id/--resume/
  --resume-session-at, canUseTool wire request_id stability and abort on
  control_cancel_request, one spawn per query, pathToClaudeCodeExecutable
  honored by the default spawner, the exact SDK version, and the eight platform
  binaries staying uninstalled.

* feat(claude): drive the structured transport through the agent SDK

Replaces the hand-rolled `claude -p --input-format stream-json` transport with
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.251, keeping the existing connection
interface for this commit so the acquisition path changes minimally. The
control-plane rewrite is a separate change.

Orca still supplies the process. `spawnClaudeCodeProcess` routes through
`spawnProcess`, retains the child and its pid — the triple the durable lease
adjudicates on — drains stderr so exit errors keep their tail, and hands `.cmd`
shims to Orca's Windows argument encoder rather than the SDK's plain spawn.
`close()` keeps Orca's own bounded tree-kill and exit deadline, so it still
resolves true only after an observed exit.

Launch resolution emits an SDK options object instead of argv; durable
`launchArgs` translate to a typed option where one exists and to `extraArgs`
otherwise, refusing a token neither can carry rather than dropping it. The
child env is always passed explicitly — omitting it would let the SDK inherit
`process.env` and reintroduce the ambient `ANTHROPIC_*` leak. The stdout line
parser is deleted; the SDK owns framing, and unknown frames still reach the
translator verbatim.

* fix(claude): settle the frame the SDK pulled but never wrote

The SDK's input pump is `for await (frame of prompt) { await transport.write(frame) }`.
When that write rejects — the child dies between Orca's liveness guard and the
write — the for-await ends abruptly and calls the generator's `return()`, so the
code after `yield` never runs. The frame was already shift()ed out of `queued`,
so the later `fail()` from the exit path could not reach it and `send()` never
settled: `dispatchClaudeTurn` awaits that send before it can return `unknown`,
wedging the caller and the durable outbox. The pre-SDK transport rejected on the
stdin write callback instead.

Retain the in-flight entry and settle it from the generator's cleanup, and let
fail() reach it too for the pump that never resumes at all.

* fix(claude): keep the agent SDK behind the structured-Claude boundary

The ordinary OrcaRuntimeService graph statically reaches the Claude adapter and
so the transport module, whose first line imported @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk.
The SDK is evaluated whenever the regular runtime loads, before any structured
Claude session is chosen: it sets process.env.NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath,
changing Windows executable resolution for later subprocesses, and a missing or
incompatible install would break normal runtime startup — for a user who never
leaves the terminal/TUI path.

Defer the SDK to the connection, memoized so it loads once per process, and add
the import-graph ratchet: a walk from the Electron main entry that fails on any
static import of the package, plus a clean-fork check that loading the runtime
leaves the Windows search variable untouched and a child-process pin that the
side effect is still real.

* fix(claude): answer list_models so the picker stops serving the seed

sendControlRequest had no list_models case, so every request hit the default
reject; readClaudeStructuredSessionOptions swallows that with .catch(() => null)
and falls back to the static catalog. Every structured session therefore served a
hardcoded model list with no per-model effort levels, no resolvedModel and no
default detection, and nothing surfaced the failure. The pre-SDK transport got the
live catalog from the CLI.

Route it through the SDK's supportedModels(), wrapped in the { models } envelope
the existing parser reads.

* fix(claude): reap the child's descendants before killing it

The forced step of the exit ladder went through the Codex helper, which spawns
`pkill -KILL -P <pid>` and SIGKILLs the parent in the same tick: the parent
usually dies first, the descendants reparent to pid 1, and `-P` matches nothing.
An MCP or launcher descendant of a stubborn Claude child was left running. The
test named for that requirement declined to assert it and killed the survivor by
hand instead, so it could not fail for the thing it was named after.

Route the Claude reap through Orca's existing sweep, which snapshots descendants
while their parent link still exists and signals them before the root goes, and
on Windows uses the identity-gated `taskkill /T /F`. The test now asserts the
descendant is dead; the manual kill stays only as a failure-safe. close() still
returns true only on an observed exit.

* fix(native-chat): merge the duplicated handoff type import

CI's static-analysis lint (`oxlint --config
config/oxlint-code-quality-native-plugins.json src config tests mobile

same module.

* fix(claude): answer a permission callback whose signal already aborted

settleFrom registered the abort listener and then delivered the request. A
callback that arrives already aborted never fires that event, so the promise
stayed pending behind a durable prompt with no cancel path. Check the signal
first, emit the cancel, and resolve the SDK's null sentinel without registering.

* test(claude): wait for the child to record the frame, not just for its report

The scripted CLI writes its report at startup, so `until(readReport)` returned a
report with no user messages whenever the child had not yet read the line. The
assertion then failed under parallel load. Poll for the frame instead of for the
file.

* fix(claude): coalesce partial deltas onto one assistant item and stop painting result frames

Under --include-partial-messages every stream_event frame carries its own
uuid, and the final assistant frame for a block carries yet another; only
message.id ties them. The translator keyed each delta by its frame uuid, so a
reply painted as one bubble per delta chunk followed by a complete duplicate
under the final frame's uuid. The block's first stream frame now mints the
claude:(sessionId, uuid) identity, deltas coalesce onto it through the shared
60ms seam, and the final frame reconciles onto that same item.

Known SDK bookkeeping no longer reaches the provider-fallback row: result
subtypes are catalogued and settled by the turn lifecycle, an empty thinking
block (redacted thinking) is a modeled kind, a string-content user replay is a
text block, and an empty user frame paints nothing. An unmodeled result
subtype or content kind still lands on the bounded fallback row.

* fix(claude): prove descendant exit at the close boundary instead of on an unref'd timer

close() reported proven=true as soon as the direct child exited while the
descendant sweep's SIGKILL sat on an unref'd 2 s timer, so a SIGTERM-resistant
MCP server outlived the lease release. The reaper now composes the same shared
primitives the Codex structured provider uses: snapshot, verified bounded
descendant termination on POSIX, taskkill /T /F on Windows. The proof is false
whenever descendants outlive the deadline, a retried close re-verifies the
retained snapshot rather than trusting the dead root, and the raw pipe child no
longer goes through the PTY job sweep it never owned a job for.

Measured on macOS: a killed child of a SIGSTOPped parent stays a matching zombie
row in ps, so the root is killed while verification runs rather than stopped
first as the Codex non-group path does.

* feat(claude): replace the hand-rolled control plane with the SDK's native surface

PR 3 of the Claude structured SDK migration removes the wire-frame scaffolding
PR 2 kept, so Orca drives the SDK's typed control surface directly.

Inbound permissions move from a rebuilt control_request dispatch to the SDK's
canUseTool / onUserDialog callbacks. The prompt registry now carries the
callback's own resolver: a decodable can_use_tool becomes a durable prompt whose
answer settles the callback; a malformed one is denied without registering; the
SDK's abort signal (fired on control_cancel_request, which the SDK matches and
dedups itself) forgets the prompt and settles it null, and a late answer after
abort finds no prompt and is refused. Closing settles every in-flight callback so
no promise dangles. The claude-agent-sdk-control-bridge that rebuilt the wire
frame is deleted.

Outbound control maps to Query methods: interrupt() for cancel, setModel /
setPermissionMode / applyFlagSettings for options, supportedModels for the model
list, initializationResult() for init proof, each under Orca's own request
deadline and error classification. Cancel is interrupt-receipt aware: a CLI
advertising interrupt_cancel_queued_v1 gets cancel_queued in one round trip,
otherwise the receipt's still_queued uuids are swept with cancel_async_message so
a cancelled turn cannot spawn a later unexpected turn; older CLIs resolve no
receipt. Init keeps the 10s deadline and the unauthenticated-startup guidance.

Every behavior is failing-first and ablation-proven; the toggle-off import
boundary and the accepted loss of unknown-control visibility rows are unchanged.

* fix(claude): arm the descendant snapshot before stdin closes and make the tree verdict unproven by default

A healthy Claude root leaves within the graceful window, and the close ladder
only snapshotted descendants when the root was still alive after that window.
So the common close never looked at the tree: `treeExited` stayed null,
`!== false` passed it, and close() reported a proven exit with an MCP child
still running. A root that died before the walk made the snapshot vacuous too.

The proof is now unproven by default. The reaper holds one verdict in Orca's
vocabulary (exited / live / unverifiable), assigned in exactly one place from
the bounded verification, and close() returns true only on `exited`. The
snapshot is armed before stdin closes, while the root can still be walked, and
is verified after the root exits; a root that left before any snapshot could
be armed stays unverifiable rather than vouching for descendants it never
showed us. The shared verifier gains the three-way verdict behind its boolean
face, and the connection reports the root and tree verdicts separately along
with the child's exit status.

One verification per close attempt: the retried close re-verifies, so the
intra-attempt re-reap is gone from the teardown budget.

* fix(claude): verify the Windows tree after taskkill instead of trusting that it ran

`terminateWindowsProcessTree` resolves from taskkill's callback whatever the
error says, so a timeout, an access denial, a recycled root and a surviving
descendant all looked identical to the reaper — which then returned a proven
exit unconditionally. close() reported true and the lease was released with an
MCP descendant potentially still live.

The Windows branch now snapshots the root's descendants while it is alive and,
after taskkill, polls a fresh process table to a bounded deadline: a row still
matching by pid AND creation time is `live`, an unreadable table is
`unverifiable`, and only a table with no match is `exited`. Creation time is
the PID-reuse guard the POSIX path gets from ps lstart, so a descendant that
denied a creation-time query is omitted rather than signalled on a bare pid.
A root already observed exited is never taskkilled: `/T /F` on a recycled pid
would take an unrelated tree down with it.

The captured tree is tagged by platform so neither verifier can be handed the
other's rows.

* fix(claude): release a reservation on a first-hand root exit instead of latching it into manual recovery

Making close() strict about the descendant tree exposed a second defect at the
same boundary. A create-time acquisition has no ownerProcess until publication,
so an unproven cleanup mapped to handoffStage `manual-recovery`, and
adjudication then refuses every later attach with agent_session_ownership_unknown.
A user who was merely signed out, or whose --resume the CLI rejected, wedged the
session id permanently.

Each question now answers from its own evidence. close() is unchanged and stays
strict about the tree. Separately, the lease is keyed on the root's pid and
start time, so when Orca's own child handle observed that root exit and no
descendant snapshot was ever admissible, the reservation is released and the
CLI's exit code and stderr reach the user. A descendant observed still alive,
or a root Orca never saw leave, stays unproven and keeps the reservation.

The settlement records only what was observed: the released lease says the
provider process exited and its descendants were not verifiable, rather than
reusing the wording that claims cleanup proved no child remains.

* fix(claude): surface an API error a result frame reports instead of settling the turn on it

The SDK models an API failure as a SUCCESS-subtype result whose `result` string
is the user-facing error text, with no assistant frame behind it. The translator
suppressed every catalogued result subtype as turn bookkeeping, so that turn
tombstoned its lifecycle and showed the user a completed, empty reply with no
sign anything had failed.

Suppression is now by meaning. A result reporting a failure routes to the
bounded provider-error surface, leading with the provider's own sentence and
keeping the raw frame behind the row's disclosure; ordinary successful results
stay off the timeline as before. A turn the user aborted also stays suppressed:
its interrupt frame already says so, and its execution diagnostic would only be
noise on every stop.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): drop the stream state of turns that never received their final frame

Every streamed delta recorded its block's identity, latest text and checkpoint
length. Only the final assistant frame removed them, so an interrupted turn left
its whole accumulated reply reachable until the session was disposed, and a long
session with repeated interruptions grew those maps without bound. The partial
text was already journaled by the flush that precedes settlement, so the live
copy was pure retention.

That state now lives in its own module, named for what it does — grow a streamed
block's journal row between its deltas and its final frame — and turn settlement
drops every block still awaiting a final. The translator reports how many remain,
which is the invariant: a settled turn leaves none.

Also makes a timed-out process-table read retryable while the root is still
alive. A loaded host can miss the table's one-second deadline, and latching that
as "no descendants" both lost the descendant sweep and, on a busy machine, made
the close ladder report unproven for a tree it never actually looked at. Only
the root's death still makes a missing snapshot final.

* perf(claude): capture the Windows descendant tree from one process-table read

The capture walked the descendant tree and then read the table again for the
creation times the walk's projection drops. Each read is bounded in seconds and
both run inside the close ladder's budget, so the second one cost the worst-case
teardown three seconds for data the first read already held.

The walk is now exported from the module that owns it and runs over rows the
caller has already read, which is also what lets the snapshot keep the
PID-reuse guard the projection cannot carry.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(pty): spend the descendant verification window instead of surrendering on one slow table read

The verification abandoned the whole check the first time a process-table read
missed its own one-second deadline, with seconds of its window still unspent.
On a loaded host that reported a tree unverifiable without ever having looked at
it, which the Claude close ladder then turned into an unproven close and a
retried teardown. It also made the descendant-exit tests flake under a parallel
suite run, for the same reason and with the same honest-but-premature verdict.

A read that missed its deadline is now simply not an answer: the loop waits and
reads again until its own deadline, and only a window that ends without a
readable table reports unverifiable. This can only turn a premature verdict into
one backed by evidence; it never manufactures a proof.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): never let a later failed look collapse an observed live descendant into unverifiable

The reaper's single assignment site latched only 'exited', so a second reap
whose table reads all missed their deadline overwrote an earlier completed
verification's 'live' with 'unverifiable'. The acquisition release gate
discriminates on exactly that pair, so a root exit after such a decay released
the lease over a descendant that had been observed alive. The latch is now
monotone in trust order: exited is final, and live is only ever raised to exited.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HfdhsvSJucLw4cTZxzg2CP

* fix(claude): never prove a Windows tree gone while a descendant denied identification

The Windows snapshot dropped rows that denied the creation-time query, and an
emptied snapshot was judged exited without any table read: a descendant Orca was
refused information about was treated as one that had left. The snapshot now
counts the unidentified rows it saw, and verification caps its verdict at
unverifiable while any exist. Nothing is ever signalled on a bare pid, as before.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HfdhsvSJucLw4cTZxzg2CP

* fix(claude): classify cleanup after a first-hand exit as a root exit instead of a proven tree

When the CLI died between a successful acquire and the host's commit or proof
of the lease, handleExit had already removed the session, so releaseAcquisition
found nothing and reported true. The attach flow then settled exit-proven with
deathEvidence claiming cleanup proved no provider child remains, though the
tree was never verified. The adapter now keeps the exit that removed a
published session until the session is acquired again; acquisition cleanup runs
that connection's close ladder and classifies its verdict exactly as a
start-time failure would be, so the record reads root-exit-observed. The wire
helper keeps that typed classification and its provider diagnostic instead of
wrapping it as unproven, and the router gives up its owner even when the
release throws.

* fix(claude): restore the root SIGKILL fallback the identity gate took away

The direct root kill goes through the handle Node owns, not through a pid:
libuv drops that handle in the same turn it reaps, so the signal either
reaches the process Orca spawned or reaches nothing at all. Gating it on a
process-table probe therefore bought no safety and cost the tree its only
fallback whenever the probe declined -- a first capture landing in the fork's
own second, a recycled descendant pid voiding the snapshot, or a process table
that could not be read on either platform.

Identity verification stays where a bare pid is genuinely addressed: Windows
`taskkill /T /F`, and the descendant sweep's own revalidation before it signals.

Also stops a declined root probe from collapsing an observed `live` or `exited`
descendant verdict into `unverifiable`, and stops a successful taskkill from
reporting `unverifiable` because a later probe found the root correctly dead.

* docs(claude): rewrap the root-kill ordering comment

* Match the Claude structured launch to the terminal path's managed-account auth rules

The SDK path stripped ambient Anthropic auth unconditionally, let an explicit
agentDefaultEnv override beat a pinned managed account, and had no account-switch
guard. Reuse the terminal preflight's own predicate and messages so both transports
strip, refuse, and report identically, and cover the CLI transcript location that
mobile native chat depends on.

* Reach the Claude structured chat lane from the desktop UI

The main process has had a complete, correctly gated Claude Agent SDK lane for
a while, but no renderer ever asked for it: the launch route accepted only
`codex`, and the create path was typed `agent: 'codex'` end to end.

Widen both to the structured provider union that already exists
(`AgentSessionHandleProvider`), and generalize the codex-named create path
instead of adding a Claude twin beside it. The pending-launch registry is now
keyed by agent as well as workspace — a shared key handed a second caller the
first agent's intent, so a Claude and a Codex launch in one worktree collided.

Windows, per agent. Codex's client-side win32 refusal is deliberate and settled
elsewhere, so it stays exactly as it was. Claude's answer is no longer guessed
from the client's platform: a structured session fences its provider child on
that child's process start time, and only the executing host knows whether it
can read one. `agentSession.createSupport` already answers precisely that, per
agent, and had no renderer caller — so the Claude create path asks it before
creating and turns a "no", or a probe it cannot get answered, into the
definitive refusal the launch fallback already handles. Fail closed either way.

That refusal mapping also closes a real gap: the host reports an unsupported
location by throwing `structured_agent_session_unsupported`, which reaches the
client as a transport rejection rather than a refusal envelope, so
`StructuredAgentSessionCreateRefusalError` never fired. The launch would retry
the create, strand itself in `visibilityUnknown`, run no legacy fallback, and
show an error toast.

Close a fail-open hole while Claude and win32 become reachable: `create` with a
client-supplied location, and `ensure`, both skip the worktree-resolving support
check. They now ask the executing host the same question directly, so a host
that cannot fence a provider child no longer creates one on a client's say-so.

Also deletes `structured-agent-session-provider-routing.ts`, a duplicate of
`structured-agent-session-provider-support.ts` with no importers.

WSL, SSH and paired hosts, floating workspaces, draft prompt delivery, explicit
TUI customization and initial session options all keep refusing; folder
workspaces keep working.

* P1-1: make the structured Claude auth policy required and testable

The optional dep plus a {stripAuthEnv:false} fallback meant a dropped wiring
under-stripped silently. Required at all three hops, asserted at install time for
the @ts-nocheck caller, and the settings-to-policy mapping is now a named tested
function.

* P2-3: mobile's default Claude transcript root must follow CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR

session-file-resolver's default ignored the variable the pinned account home
follows, so a CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR launch wrote one tree and mobile read another. The
Task-4 test now resolves with no root override (mobile's own call) and checks the
answer against the root the CLI itself reports, instead of mirroring the code under
test's own expression.

* P2-1/P2-2/P3: close the teardown window, join the live-auth gate, align the refusal

P2-1: a switch beginning inside the acquire teardown left a dead chat and no
replacement. Past that point the launch waits the swap out and refuses only if it
never settles; the entry guard still refuses outright, because nothing is torn down
there yet.
P2-2: structured children now hold the same OAuth-refresh gate a Claude PTY does,
so a managed refresh cannot rotate the token out from under a live turn.
P3: the refusal now matches the strip it guards (case-folded on win32, presence not
truthiness), and the dead structured-to-TUI builder states its auth policy instead
of silently signing a system-auth user out.

* Make the live-auth gate tests independent of sibling connection teardown order

* Do not offer structured Claude under a WSL-only managed account

Structured Claude launches against the ambient Claude config, which the account
service keeps in sync with the selected HOST account. A WSL-bound managed
account lives inside the distro and is never synced there, so on Windows a
structured session would authenticate as whatever the ambient identity happens
to be while the UI names the WSL account — the user is told one identity and
given another.

That was unreachable only because nothing offered structured Claude on win32.
Enabling it makes it reachable, so gate it here rather than patching the auth
layer: refuse the structured path when the active managed Claude account is
WSL-bound, and let the terminal-backed path — which resolves the account per
runtime — handle that account shape.

The answer rides the agentSession.createSupport seam the renderer already
consumes, so no new capability and no renderer knowledge of account internals.
A create the host declines becomes the definitive refusal the launch fallback
already turns into a legacy native chat tab, with no error toast.

Unknown answers refuse. An install with no managed accounts claims no identity
and is fine, but an active selection that cannot be resolved — or account state
that cannot be read at all — is not evidence that the ambient identity is right.

Claude only. Codex resolves its account through a different path and its
createSupport answer is untouched, as is every Codex routing decision.

* Read the structured Claude account gate through the auth policy's accessor

The gate resolved the active account from the account-service snapshot's
runtime map; the auth policy resolves it with
getSelectedClaudeAccountIdForTarget(settings, { runtime: 'host' }). Those are
two sources and two resolution rules, and they disagree on a legacy settings
blob that carries the selection only in the flat activeClaudeManagedAccountId:
the accessor falls through to it, a direct read of the runtime map does not. The
gate would then refuse a launch the policy would have run under host-1 — and in
the mirror case a session could be admitted under a policy computed from a
different account than the gate approved.

Read the same settings through the same accessor so agreement is structural
rather than coincidental, and drop the controller accessor that existed only to
reach the snapshot.

No behaviour change for any state both already agreed on; Codex is untouched.

* Round-3 review fixes: N-1 empty-value regression, N-2 gate leak window, N-4 lost history

N-1: my presence-based conflict predicate refused a terminal launch that works
today. 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=' is how a user blanks a variable and the settings
pipeline preserves that empty value; an empty override cannot beat the pinned
account and the strip removes the name anyway. Back to truthiness for the value,
keeping the win32 case folding.
N-2: enter the live-auth gate only after the exit/close handlers that release it,
so no throw in between can leave an entry nothing reconciles.
N-4: the Claude transcript resolver searches config-dir-then-default and de-dupes,
matching the Codex sibling in the same file, so adopting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR no
longer hides history written before it.

* Run the managed-account gate on every Claude acquisition, not just create

createSupport gates the create path, but a session's account state can change
while it lives. A reacquire after an unexpected child exit re-resolves the
launch and re-derives auth, with nothing re-checking the gate — so a session
created while supported could come back up in the refused shape. With the strip
predicate keyed on there being an active non-WSL account, the WSL-only user's
normalized steady state (accounts exist, none active) does not strip, and that
reacquire reaches the child with ambient auth while the UI names the account.

Gate at resolveLaunch, the one choke point every acquisition passes through,
refusing with the pre-spawn error the caller already handles. Same predicate as
create-time, now sharing one settings reader so the two cannot drift.

Claude only; Codex resolves its account on a different path and is untouched.

The runtime class that wires this does not typecheck its own `this` calls — a
missing hookup compiles clean — so the wiring is pinned behaviourally rather
than trusted to the compiler.

* Move the structured Claude gate out of the @ts-nocheck runtime files

Both call sites of the managed-account gate sat in files whose first line is
`// @ts-nocheck`, so neither was typechecked: three arguments to a one-argument
function plus an undeclared identifier compiled clean. New auth-identity
decision logic had no compiler behind it.

Move the verdict into a checked module that takes the two facts the runtime
owns — the adapter's answer and a settings getter — and decides. The runtime
class now only forwards. Move the gate reader's construction into the checked
installer too, so the nocheck file passes a plain settings closure and never
names a gate symbol.

Every reference to the gate predicate and its reader now lives in a checked
file, so the ablation that used to pass silently is a compile error at both the
create-support and reacquire sites.

Removing the file-level @ts-nocheck is a separate, larger job and is not
attempted here.

* Derive the gate test's auth policy from the settings under test

A hardcoded stripAuthEnv asserts a gate/policy pairing production cannot
produce, and false additionally lets launch.env inherit the runner's real
process.env. Derive via claudeStructuredAuthPolicyForSettings instead: the
gate settings type is the same Pick the policy takes, and both resolve the
account through getSelectedClaudeAccountIdForTarget.

* Pin the absent-vs-empty distinction in the managed-account gate

An empty claudeManagedAccounts array is a real answer: the user has no managed
accounts, nothing claims an identity, and the ambient path is legitimate. A
readable settings object with no such field is settings we failed to parse —
the same unknown as unreadable — so it refuses.

The two are one character apart in the code and the difference is invisible
without the reasoning, so record it at the branch and pin both sides. The test
fails under the obvious "consistency fix" of treating a missing field as empty.

* fix(claude): keep command queue bookkeeping out of the transcript

Claude Code 2.1.258 emits a `command_lifecycle` frame for every uuid-stamped
command it starts, completes or cancels. The frame carries a command uuid and a
state and no content, and the CLI keeps it out of its own transcript -- but it
is absent from the SDK's SDKMessage union and so from Orca's frame catalogue,
where an uncatalogued kind defaults to a substantive row. Every structured turn
therefore painted raw JSON rows into the user-visible transcript.

Catalogue it and disposition it as status chrome. The unknown-kind default stays
`timeline-substantive`: a kind we have never seen is likelier to carry content
than to be chrome, and a visible row we can catalogue later beats content we
silently dropped. A lifecycle state that reads as a failure still surfaces,
because the payload error check in `classifyProviderFrame` outranks the
catalogue.

* fix(claude): let a re-walked descendant become eligible for the forced sweep

A descendant first observed by a capture inside its own birth second could never
be SIGKILLed: `ps lstart` is second-resolution, so that capture cannot rule out
a pid recycled later in the same second, and the merge pinned each retained row
to the boundary of the walk that first saw it. SIGTERM-resistant children forked
in that window were signalled and then never escalated -- they survived close,
quit and restart, reparented to init, and had to be killed by hand.

Advancing that boundary on any later capture would be unsound: a later capture
matching pid, pgid and start-second is exactly what an impostor would also show.
But a capture is not a match -- it is a fresh ppid walk from a root Node pins
through its own handle, so a row it re-derives is proved ours at that instant
without appealing to its start time. Chain the fence from there instead, and
take that walk at the close boundary while the root certainly still lives: the
root may leave inside the grace window, and the post-timeout refresh never runs.

A row absent from the later walk still keeps its earlier boundary, and a row no
walk has ever re-derived in a later second is still never escalated.

* Treat an absent managed-account list as empty, not as unreadable

An empty claudeManagedAccounts array and a missing one are the same answer:
this user has no managed Claude accounts, so nothing claims an identity and
ambient auth is the truth. Refusing on absence strands any profile that simply
never wrote the key, and it disagrees with the auth policy, whose own predicate
takes `(accounts ?? [])` for exactly this reason.

Only settings that cannot be READ stay unknown, and those still refuse — as do
a WSL-bound active account and a selection naming an account the list does not
explain.

The earlier reasoning treated a missing field as settings we failed to parse.
That conflated "not present" with "not readable"; only the second is unknown.

* Support structured Claude when accounts are registered but none is selected

Registered-but-deselected Claude accounts were refused, which is behaviourally
identical to having no accounts at all: the auth policy does not strip, ambient
auth is the truth, and the UI names no host identity. A user who deselected
their accounts silently got legacy chat with nothing explaining why.

Nothing selected for the host runtime is two states the settings cannot tell
apart after the fact, because pruneInvalidClaudeRuntimeSelection empties the
host slot and persists null in the second one:

  honest deselection      -> ambient auth, UI names nothing   -> SUPPORTED
  the WSL-only steady state -> ambient auth, UI names the WSL account -> REFUSED

The presence of any WSL-bound account in the list decides. Simplifying this to
"none active -> supported" re-opens the auth-identity misrepresentation, so the
tests fail loudly on exactly that: five of them, across the unit rule and the
createSupport path.

* Stop treating an unanswerable create-support probe as a refusal

A worktree is not resolvable for a beat after createWorktree resolves, so a
probe fired immediately after creation fails the RPC with selector_not_found
instead of answering. The catch collapsed that into `supported = false`, so the
composer refused and quietly built a terminal session — the gate never said no,
it was never asked successfully. Elapsed time was the only input that decided
whether a Claude launch went structured.

"Could not answer" and "answered no" are different states and only the second
is a verdict. Retry while the host cannot yet resolve the selector, with a
bounded backoff that covers the measured window with margin, and keep refusing
on the first ask for everything else. Fail-closed is unchanged: a probe that
still cannot be answered when the budget is spent refuses.

The retry is narrowed with the shared error-code matcher, which classifies a
token that transports re-wrap into a longer message without matching prose that
merely mentions it.

Codex never probes, so this race has never been able to refuse a Codex launch —
the race itself is identical for it. Recorded at the early return, because
whoever gives Codex a probe inherits the bug.

* fix(claude): fence the forced sweep on re-derivation, not on lstart's second

A descendant forked in the same wall-clock second as every walk that sees it was
signalled with SIGTERM and then never escalated, so a SIGTERM-resistant child
survived tab close, app quit and a full relaunch. Two children of one parent
96ms apart across a second boundary took opposite paths. The leak predates this
branch: it reproduces with the change reverted.

`ps lstart` has one-second resolution, so a walk landing inside a row's birth
second can never rule out a pid recycled later in that same second. But a walk
is not a match: a ppid walk only reaches what the root actually parents, and the
root is pinned by Node's own handle, so a row the walk re-derived is ours
whatever second it was born in -- a stranger would have to have been forked into
our tree, and then it is not a stranger. Fence the escalation on that.

Rows a merge retained from an earlier walk are not re-derived and still answer
to the start-time fence, which remains correct for them.

Scoped to callers that revalidate identity before signalling, which is the
Claude close path. Codex teardown reaches this same verifier and is unchanged;
the argument holds there too, but widening it is its own deliberate change.

Also reverts two changes from the previous attempt at this leak. Advancing the
capture boundary on a later walk is inert once the sweep fences on re-derivation
-- both key on the same set of rows, so the new term short-circuits for exactly
the rows whose boundary it advanced. The extra ladder refresh was a duplicate
full process-table read: close() already awaits tree.refresh() immediately
before proveClaudeChildExit, on the only path that reaches it.

Known property: the kill lands roughly a grace window after the walk that proved
membership, so a pid recycled inside that gap could in principle be signalled.
It is bounded -- matchingSnapshotRows already requires the live row to carry the
same start-second and pgid, so an impostor must be born in the remainder of that
one second, land on that exact pid, and sit in the same process group, and it
has already received the unfenced SIGTERM from the same loop.

* Run the Claude structured integration suite as a runtime client

The suite exercises agentSession.* for Claude, not the mobile surface: nothing
in it asserts anything mobile-specific and its sibling integration suites use
'runtime'. Mobile now additionally requires the experimental structured-chat
setting, which structured-agent-session.test.ts pins in both states, so the
stale 'mobile' fixture was claiming coverage it never had.

* fix(claude): report effort from get_settings, which is the only frame that has it

The composer's Effort pill rendered blank in every structured session. This is
not a missing source: the publication reads `effortLevel` off the `system/init`
frame, and that frame has never carried an effort of any kind, while the correct
value is already fetched at acquisition and thrown away on the auth diagnostic.
Verified two ways -- a live get_settings probe against Claude Code 2.1.258, and
the shipped binary's own init frame construction, which lists `model` and no
effort. So `reportedOptions.effort` was always empty, the options reader dropped
the key, and the pill had no value. Model survived only because
`currentModelId()` has a fallback chain.

The get_settings call acquisition already makes reports the session's current
effort as `effective.effortLevel`; pass that into the publication instead.
Selecting an effort already worked, so this is the arrival value only.

The legacy PTY path is unaffected and must not be "fixed" to match: it reads its
effort by parsing the startup banner (`CLAUDE_MODEL_EFFORT` in
src/renderer/src/components/native-chat/claude-terminal-session-options.ts),
which is why it shows a value where the structured path does not.

Also removes the fixture that hid this: the fake init frame invented
`effortLevel: 'high'`, a field the CLI does not send, which is why every gate
stayed green over a value that is always empty in production. The fixture's
get_settings now returns the real {applied, effective, sources} shape instead of
a bare `{env: {}}`, so the two adapter tests that asserted an effort keep
asserting it through the path production actually uses.

The reader returns null rather than defaulting: an effort nothing measured would
repeat the fixture's mistake, and a blank pill is the honest degradation if the
provider ever renames the key.

* fix(claude): only record an effort the child confirms it adopted

apply_flag_settings answers `success` for an effort it then ignores. Measured
against Claude Code 2.1.258: applying `bogus-effort-xyz` returns
subtype "success" with no error while `applied.effort` stays at its previous
value, and a valid `low` moves it. The option write treated the absence of a
throw as adoption and recorded the requested value unconditionally, so Orca
would show and persist an effort the child was not using, with nothing anywhere
reporting a problem.

Read the effort back after applying it, through the same reader the arrival
value uses, and reject when the child reports a different one. A readback that
could not be taken is not evidence of a refusal -- the apply itself succeeded --
so it still records; only a readback that disagrees rejects.

Not reachable from today's picker, which offers catalog values only, but the
CLI's effort catalog is server-delivered and has changed before, so a retired id
would otherwise become a pill confidently displaying a setting that never took.

* test(claude): assert the effort contract against the real binary

The blank pill survived every gate because the only tests that touched it were
fixture-backed, and the fixture invented the field. A test that pins the shape
we read cannot catch the provider renaming the key, which is the failure mode
that produced this defect.

Asserts both halves against a live authenticated CLI: that no frame it publishes
carries an effort at all, and that the session's current effort arrives through
get_settings. Which frame proves the session varies by host -- this machine
proves it with a SessionStart hook rather than a system/init frame -- so the
negative half asserts over every published frame rather than picking one.

Skips with the rest of the file when no authenticated CLI is present.

* fix(claude): stop the synthesised content-part kinds leaking into the transcript

Sending an image put a bare `claude · message:user:content:image` row between
the user's bubble and the answer. Two causes, and only the second is a family.

An image part counted as modelled only when `source.type === 'url'`, but
claudeDispatchMessageContent sends a local attachment as a base64 source and the
CLI replays that shape back, so every attached image was classified unmodelled.
Accept the base64 and file sources Orca itself sends.

The family is the real defect. `message:<role>:content:<type>` kinds are
synthesised at runtime from whatever `part.type` arrives, so unlike the
top-level frame catalogue they can never be enumerated ahead of time -- the
`?? 'timeline-substantive'` default then prints the synthesised name at a user
who cannot act on it. That default is right for top-level frames, where
"substantive" means show the frame; here it meant show our own vocabulary, which
drops the content AND leaks the opcode.

So an unrenderable part now renders a sentence saying exactly that, with the
kind and payload still on the row's disclosure. A part that carries its own
readable sentence keeps it -- the placeholder is a fallback, not an override.

An unknown future part type is therefore visible, never silently dropped and
never printed as a kind: the same principle as the effort readback, which
records only what the provider confirms.

* Declare agentSession.requestHandoff on the cross-version wire surface

The manifest is a ratchet for cross-version reachability, so the method is
declared with real HandoffParams rather than counted. requestHandoff is
capability-gated through requireStructuredHost and has no client caller, so
declaring it is the whole of the change.

Also model two host capabilities the harness omitted: the stub host's
supportsCreate, and the fake adapter's, without which adapterSupportsCreate
falls through to a supportsLocation the fake also lacks. Every ensure was
refused for the harness's silence rather than for its location.

* Gate structured Claude session tabs on the client capability that names them

The Claude structured lane deleted the projection's `agent !== 'codex'`
filter and added CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_AGENT_SESSION_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY in the
same commit, but never wired the constant to anything. Paired clients then
received agent-session tabs for Claude, which no shipped client renders --
mobile's resolveMobileNativeChat returns null for every agent but codex, so
the row listed and selected into a pane with neither chat nor terminal.

Restore the filter behind the declared capability instead of the bare agent
name. No client advertises it yet, so this matches main's behaviour today
and becomes a negotiation a future client can opt into.

* Confirm the structured Claude model against the model the CLI reports

set_model answers success for any string, including a model it cannot
resolve — the failure only surfaces when the turn runs — and get_settings
reports the settings-file model, not the session's. The init frame that
opens each turn is the only channel carrying the adopted model, so keep
the session's reported model current from it instead of reading it once
at acquisition.

Also stop rejecting an effort the readback cannot represent: max is
session-scoped and excluded from the persisted effortLevel, so a readback
reporting the level underneath it is an absence of evidence, not a refusal.

* Clear the session-option hedge when the provider confirms the value

The pill claimed every option was unconfirmed for the life of the session:
the renderer recorded each write as dispatched and nothing ever moved it,
so a model the CLI had already reported back still read as unconfirmed.

Carry the provider's own confirmation to the surface. Main reports which
option ids the provider named rather than merely accepted, and the client
re-reads options as a turn changes, because the frame that opens a turn is
where the adopted model arrives. A value the provider has not reported
stays hedged, including an effort whose readback could not be taken.

The confirmed list is optional on the wire: a host that predates it sends
nothing and the client keeps hedging, which is the behaviour it had.

* Keep the model report current across an acquisition fence bump

* Show the picked session-option value and let the provider report correct it

The pill showed a "not confirmed" second tooltip line for any value we had sent
but not yet seen reported back. Nothing acts on it, and for the PTY lane it was
permanent — that transport has no report channel. The pill now shows the picked
value immediately and the provider's per-turn report corrects it when the two
disagree; a newer local write still outranks a report that precedes it.

`dispatched` stays as a provenance member rather than collapsing into `applied`:
it is produced independently by the PTY lane, and it is where the `confirmed`
wire field lands, which would otherwise be unobservable.

Effort keeps its readback and its rejection path. That matters more now, not
less: with the hedge gone the rejection is the only user-visible failure signal
on this surface, so a spurious one would be the loudest bug here. Skipping the
readback for an effort the settings response structurally cannot echo is what
prevents it — the response carries the persisted level, so reading it back for a
session-scoped value would report the level underneath and fail a valid write.

* Hedge a session-option value only when the terminal transport sent it

Both lanes emit `dispatched`, so it could never say which one produced a value.
The descriptor now carries the transport that built it, set once in the shared
snapshot builder from a parameter that is required rather than defaulted — the
builder is the only place a descriptor is constructed, so a new producer has to
name its lane or fail to compile.

The structured lane confirms every value from the provider's own per-turn report,
which makes the hedge transient noise there. The terminal lane can only learn an
outcome by parsing the screen back, and only for Claude: every other agent's
`dispatched` value stays unconfirmed for the life of the session, so the line is
the only signal that we sent something we never saw land.

* Refuse an effort the session's model advertises no control for

* Refuse tab mutations on a Claude row the client never negotiated

The branch added a case asserting a client advertising only
agent-session.structured.v1 may mutate a claude row. That is the same
ungated behaviour the projection gate removes, encoded a second time —
mutation authorization reads the projection, so hiding the row refuses
the write. Assert that contract instead, and add the positive case for a
client that does negotiate Claude rows.

* Resolve the Claude session's current model in one place so the effort guard and the pill agree

* Record an effort the child did not adopt instead of refusing the write

apply_flag_settings answers success for an effort it then ignores, so the
readback exists to detect that. Refusing on it made the detection a veto,
and a veto is only correct if the readback can never be wrong about which
model is current -- which it was, twice. The pre-flight guard already
refuses a level the model advertises no control for, so the veto guarded a
door that is now locked upstream.

Keep the detection, drop the refusal: a disagreement records the child's
own answer and omits the option from confirmed, so main stops vouching for
a value the provider rejected without blocking the user's write.

* Stop a slow whole-machine ps from being read as an absent process

`ps -axo ...command=` pays a per-pid argv read: measured 1.15s for 1,948
processes (0.03s without `command=`), and CPU contention stretched the same
capture to 6.0s. Two budgets sized for a cheap look then misreport a readable
machine.

The reader's 3s ceiling killed 6 of 20 consecutive captures at load 27, so
every consumer answered "unverifiable" about a table it could read. Raise it
to 15s, and stamp the capture instant at ps START so `capturedAgeMs` is the
upper bound its contract promises -- a 6s capture used to report itself as
freshly taken, understating staleness against a 5s kill gate. The TTL keys on
completion so a slow capture still coalesces instead of forking ps per caller.

`readStructuredTuiProcessIdentity` then spent its whole 5s wait inside one
capture and concluded "no exact child" after a single look taken before the
child existed (observed landing at ~3.5s). Absence needs a look that did not
race the spawn, so require two captures before the deadline can end the loop.

Both surfaced by the real-binary Claude TUI resume test, which failed ~1 in 5
under load; 14/14 now, 8 of those runs containing a capture the old 3s budget
would have killed.

* Let the desktop renderer negotiate Claude structured tabs

The paired-client gate hides agent-session rows an agent the client cannot
render. The desktop renderer's own IPC dispatches as clientKind 'runtime'
advertising only agent-session.structured.v1, so the gate hid Claude rows
from the surface this feature ships on. It renders them; it should say so.

* Stop a slow process table from silently blinding every freshness gate

Stamping `capturedAgeMs` at ps START made the number honest, and honest broke
both consumers that read it. `ps -axo ...command=` measured 2.5-9.0s on an idle
2,002-process laptop and 4.0-18.6s at load 46, so the age it now reports lands
past every budget: `planRelayPtySweep` refuses the stop as "too old", and the
renderer's `admitRemoteForegroundEvidence` refuses the record outright. That
second one is the expensive half and was outside the diff -- a refusal bumps
`consecutiveInspectionErrors`, the poll scheduler backs off to its 10s floor,
and agent-completion detection stops for the pane. The subsystem went blind on
exactly the loaded hosts the honest stamp was meant to serve.

The evidence-publishing read now gives up at 1,200ms instead of waiting out
`PS_TIMEOUT_MS`. It is one budget for one question: these consumers ask whether
an observation describes NOW, and past this it does not -- a late answer is
refused by the age gate anyway, having first blocked a polled path for the whole
capture, so a prompt `unverifiable` is both the truthful verdict and the cheap
one. Both relay call sites already produce it from a rejection, and an admitted
`unverifiable` costs a poll where a refusal costs the cadence. Identity proof
keeps the full 15s through `getFreshProcessTableSnapshot`, because it asks
whether a process EXISTS and must never read slow as absent. The budget bounds
the wait, never the capture: the reader coalesces, so an abandoned wait leaves
its capture running to fill the cache rather than forking a second whole-machine
`ps` on the host that can least afford one.

1,200ms is bracketed rather than picked. The floor is the capture's own cost --
`command=` measured 1.15s for 1,948 processes on an idle host, and a budget
under that answers `unverifiable` about a machine nobody is straining. The
ceiling is the consumer's: 2,000ms, less the 500ms a TTL-shared capture may
already have aged, leaves 1,500ms, and transit takes the rest.

That ceiling only fits once the capture stops being charged twice. `ps` runs
inside the RPC round trip, so its duration is already in `receiveDelay`, and
`capturedAgeMs` is that same duration on the host's clock; summing them halved
the budget this gate grants a host from ~2.0s of `ps` to ~1.0s, which is why a
1.2s capture arriving at 1.3s read as 2.5s old and was refused. Admission now
takes the larger of the two. The sweep's gate keeps its sum, which is correct
there: `evidenceAgeSinceListingMs` is stamped after the listing ARRIVES, so it
measures planning time and overlaps nothing.

A stated limit rather than an assumed one: 15s is not proven sufficient for
identity proof. The same capture reached 18.6s at load 46, so that path can
still time out and answer "no exact child" about a host it simply could not read
in time. Narrowing it needs a cheaper question than a whole-machine argv read,
not a larger number.

The one test guarding this field could not fail. `beginPtyHandlerTest` installs
fake timers, so `Date.now()` is frozen, the real reader reports exactly +0, and
`0 <= 500` held identically for a hardcoded zero, for completion-stamping and
for start-stamping -- while the real reader on that host returns thousands of
ms. It now drives a measured age in and asserts the handler publishes it rather
than restamping; that the reader MEASURES it correctly stays pinned separately,
against a controllable clock. Both consumers get boundary coverage either side,
and each new gate was ablated red before it went green.

* Keep the compatibility fields off the capture the budget just abandoned

inspectProcess falls back to processHasChildren and listProcesses to
getForegroundProcessName, and both read the same TTL-shared capture with
no budget of their own. On a slow host they joined the in-flight capture
the budgeted evidence read had just given up on, so the call still blocked
for the full 6-18s and the budget bought nothing -- once for inspectProcess
and once per managed PTY for listProcesses.

Use the degraded answers those helpers already give for an unreadable
table, reached promptly. pty.hasChildProcesses keeps its unbudgeted fresh
probe: it is a one-shot destructive gate that can afford to wait.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim f4c2821167 refactor(agent-session-journal): move the session journal onto SQLite (#18652)
* refactor(agent-session-journal): move the session journal onto SQLite

The agent-session journal kept its state in three hand-rolled file formats: an
append-only `log.jsonl` with torn-tail repair, a `snapshot.json` holding folded
state plus a retained tail, and byte-quarantine files for anything unreadable.
This replaces all of it with one SQLite database per session — `journal.db`
beside the existing `blobs/` store — using the in-house adapter and the
open/pragma/migrate/harden pattern the orchestration database already follows.

Two tables: `journal_rows` (the append-only log, keyed by
`(session_id, epoch, seq)`) and `journal_sessions` (the derived projection,
upserted in the SAME transaction as every insert). Rows stay JSON in one
column, so the row schema, the version upcast chain, and the reducer survive
byte for byte — `journal-reducer.test.ts` and four other suites pass unchanged
and are the regression proof.

Deleted: `journal-log-file.ts`, `journal-compaction.ts`,
`journal-corruption-quarantine.ts`, and the public `compact()` /
`compactionBoundary` / `autoCompact` members, none of which had a non-test
caller.

Existing `log.jsonl` / `snapshot.json` journals are deliberately abandoned. No
importer: a session created on the old path stops working, which is acceptable
because the feature is off by default.

## The physical quota is repriced, because SQLite does not charge like a file

The 256 MiB per-session bound is unchanged, but the arithmetic under it could
not survive: SQLite grows the database in pages and the WAL in frames, and the
checkpoint that copies the WAL forward holds the same pages in both files at
once, so a transaction's peak is about twice its content. Admission now charges
the candidate transaction's own measured page cost, validated against a sweep
that runs as a regression test (`journal-database-space.test.ts`) rather than
derived from reasoning about the allocator.

Four things are load-bearing rather than tuning, each measured:

- `auto_vacuum = INCREMENTAL` must be set BEFORE `journal_mode = WAL`. Set it
  after and it is ignored with no error, reclamation silently becomes a no-op,
  and the file never shrinks again. Both halves are asserted.
- `wal_autocheckpoint = 0` plus an explicit `wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)` at the
  end of every write path, so the one moment the same pages live in two files is
  a moment the charge accounts for.
- Reclamation runs in bounded chunks. A single unbounded `incremental_vacuum`
  took a 252 MB directory to 504 MB — the reclamation added to defend the bound
  would have breached it. `PRAGMA incremental_vacuum(N)` also frees exactly one
  page unless it is stepped to completion, which no size assertion catches, so
  the freed page count is asserted directly.
- A blocked checkpoint leaves the WAL on disk together with the database growth
  it already copied, so admission charges that deferred copy explicitly. The
  term is zero whenever the last checkpoint succeeded, so the uncontended path
  admits and refuses an identical set.

The epoch discard is `DELETE FROM journal_rows` with no WHERE clause, which
takes SQLite's truncate optimization: measured at ~0.26% of the database in WAL
bytes where the `WHERE session_id = ?` form rewrote every emptied leaf at up to
99%. One database per session is what makes the unqualified form correct.

An open, empty journal costs 57,344 bytes before a single row exists, so a
configured quota below `JOURNAL_MIN_SESSION_BYTES` now fails loudly at open with
the existing `journal_bound_exceeded` instead of as a run of identical append
failures. No production caller configures one; the affected surface is test
fixtures, rescaled to the smallest value that restores what each case proves.

## One deliberate behaviour change

Compaction was the only mechanism that shed bytes inside an epoch, and the write
path called it precisely so an append at the bound was not refused. The
SQLite-shaped replacement — a bounded prefix delete — cannot be used: with the
snapshot gone the surviving rows ARE the state, so dropping the oldest of them
loses the oldest transcript silently at the next reopen. So no row is ever shed
inside an epoch, and a session whose row bytes alone reach the bound now refuses
every append where it previously compacted and continued. A loud typed refusal
beats silent data loss.

What still sheds is unreferenced BLOB bytes — the dominant and unbounded byte
source — on the same write-path hook. The escape from the hard stop is the fold
that already exists, `replaceEpochItems`, which now actually returns bytes to
the filesystem instead of leaving them on the freelist.

The prune's protected set is a union of live reducer digests AND the candidate
row's own digests, including those cited only by a nested lifecycle-batch
mutation. Content addressing never rewrites a digest already on disk, so
protecting live state alone deletes the blob the append is about to cite — a
dangling reference that surfaces one reopen later as an empty expansion on an
item the user can see. `journal-store-blob-budget.test.ts` pins it, and it goes
red when the set is narrowed back.

## Handle ownership

A file handle used to be opened and closed per append; a SQLite handle is held
for the session's lifetime. Every path that can open a connection now has one
owner: the open function owns its raw connection until it returns, the store
owns its retained one and releases it in a new `close()`, and every other
connection is closed by the call that opened it. The attach, recovery,
eviction, map-overwrite and host-teardown paths close what they drop, and host
teardown is failure-complete — the sink-barrier flush throws by design, so a
trailing close statement would be skipped on exactly the path that leaks.

`close()` has a stated contract: admission at enqueue and permanent, the close
step on the same queue past that gate, one shared in-flight attempt, fulfilment
terminal, and the release last and deliberately unguarded so a retry re-enters
it. Guarding the release would skip it on retry, guaranteeing a permanent leak
in exactly the case where it did not release.

`journal_closed` joins the error union for a write after `close()`; no file
outside the directory references any of these codes.

* fix(agent-session-journal): make a COMMIT final, stop repairs deleting valid rows, and keep rejected closes retryable

Six review findings on the SQLite journal migration.

1. A successful COMMIT is now the point of no return. The ordinary append,
   the epoch roll and the epoch replacement each adopt the committed row or
   epoch BEFORE any post-commit filesystem work; checkpoint, reclaim, blob
   prune and directory measurement run through `runJournalPostCommit`, which
   is best-effort by design and falls back to the transaction's own charge as
   a conservative footprint. Previously a post-COMMIT scan failure rejected a
   durable append and the next one reused its sequence, and a failed epoch
   housekeeping step left the store writing into a prefix already deleted.

2. Corruption repair preserves instead of destroying. A rejected suffix is
   copied into a new `journal_quarantine` table and removed from the live
   epoch in ONE transaction per chunk, charged against the session bound
   before a byte is written; a journal that cannot afford the copy refuses to
   open rather than falling back to deletion. The repair state is exposed as
   `journal.repair` and the rows are readable through
   `recoverQuarantinedRows()`, so Orca-owned submission, receipt and
   lifecycle identity survives a gap or a malformed row.

3. The physical charge covers the B-tree key payload. `session_id` and
   `epoch` are stored in both tables and both primary-key indexes and appear
   nowhere in `row_json`, so the journal boundary now bounds them and
   `journalTxnPhysicalCost` charges those bounds plus the projection upsert.
   The charge sweep runs the exact production transaction at maximum admitted
   key sizes.

4. A rejected `close()` no longer orphans its handle. Callers hand the
   journal to `agentSessionJournalCloseRetries` instead of swallowing the
   rejection, the attach map replacement is ABORTED when the previous
   journal will not close, host teardown retries what the registry holds, and
   a failed runtime teardown is retained so the next stop is a real retry.

5. `journalWalBytes()` returns zero only for ENOENT and propagates every
   other stat error, so admission and reclamation fail closed.

6. The WAL contention test closes the writer before removing its temp root
   and asserts the directory is removable once handles close.

Regression coverage: post-commit divergence (4), corruption repair (5),
key bounds (5), WAL stat (8), close retry (5), plus a runtime stop-retry
case. Each fix was ablated on this head and the matching tests go red.

* fix(agent-session-journal): anchor replay at sequence 1, make quarantine append-only, and charge it in bytes

Three ways the corruption quarantine still lost rows it was written to keep.

Replay validated contiguity from the first row that HAPPENED to remain, so an
epoch missing only its sequence-1 row declared the leftovers contiguous and set
no `truncateFrom`. The load was still corrupt, so recovery imported provider
history and `replaceEpochItems` deleted every live row — including Orca-minted
submission, receipt and lifecycle identity that no transcript can reconstruct,
and that nothing had quarantined. Replay now anchors at sequence 1, so a missing
epoch row rejects the whole surviving range before any replacement runs.

`journal_quarantine` was keyed on `(session_id, epoch, seq)` and copied with
`INSERT OR REPLACE`. A repair frees the sequences it removed and the live epoch
reuses them, so a second repair in the same epoch silently deleted what the
first preserved. The table is now keyed on a surrogate `quarantine_id`, the copy
is a plain append, and `(epoch, seq)` is metadata; existing v1 databases are
rekeyed in the migration that already bumps `user_version`.

The admission charge read `length(row_json)`, which counts CHARACTERS for a TEXT
value where `journalTxnPhysicalCost` expects physical UTF-8 bytes. A multibyte
suffix was charged at up to a third of what it writes, which defeats the
pre-write physical bound — over a megabyte on a maximum-size lifecycle batch.

* fix(agent-session-journal): keep a repaired epoch anchored and stop the v1 quarantine migration doubling the file

Replay validated numeric contiguity from sequence 1 but never that sequence 1
IS the epoch row. When the anchor was missing the repair set aside every
surviving row, and if provider-history import then failed — a transcript that
is temporarily gone is enough — the journal reopened as a clean, row-less
epoch: an ordinary append took sequence 1, replay accepted it, read-restore
published it as history, and automatic recovery never ran again while the
user's real messages sat in quarantine.

Replay now rejects an unanchored prefix, the open publishes an
`unreconcilable_prefix` anchor for an epoch its repair emptied, and that anchor
keeps reporting corrupt — so provider history is retried on every attach —
until the timeline is rebuilt or the session writes content of its own. A
repair also discloses rows it set aside when no line was unreadable at all,
which is the case that removes the most.

The v1 quarantine rekey copied every legacy row into the new table inside one
transaction and dropped the old one. A quarantine holds whole rejected rows: a
single 8 MiB row nearly doubled the database past the physical bound the open
had already checked, the dropped pages only reached the freelist, and the next
open refused the session it had just migrated. The v1 table is renamed and
frozen instead, and reads take both generations. Table creation also moves
inside the migration transaction, so a crash can no longer leave a v2-shaped
database still reporting version 0 for an older build to write into.

* fix(agent-session-journal): stop an empty provider transcript retiring the repair marker

A transcript that exists but decodes to zero messages was imported as a
success: the import published an empty `legacy_import` replacement that
deleted the `unreconcilable_prefix` anchor and its disclosure, so the next
probe read the session as clean and every later attach skipped provider
recovery while the user's rows sat in quarantine for good.

The import now leaves the epoch untouched when nothing decodes, reporting
`replaced: false`, and recovery treats that like a transcript it could not
read — the marker stands and a later attach with real history rebuilds the
timeline.

* style(agent-session-journal): merge the duplicate journal-database-space import

* refactor(agent-session-journal): drop quarantine, byte bound, blob spill and rate limit

Match what comparable implementations do: the journal is an unbounded
append-only SQLite log with no side tables and no admission control.

Corruption: the rejected suffix is DELETED rather than copied into a
quarantine table. The load still reports `corrupt` and recovery still
rebuilds the epoch from provider history, so the observable outcome is
unchanged — only the preservation half is gone. The schema is back to one
version with two tables; no v1 database exists outside unmerged commits of
this branch, so the rekey migration and the two-generation read path go with
it. Sequence-1 epoch anchoring and the empty-provider-transcript retry are
kept: both are about the corrupt signal being correct.

Size: no `maxSessionBytes`, so no page-cost arithmetic, reclaim band,
incremental vacuum, lifecycle byte reservations or `journal_bound_exceeded`.
`auto_vacuum` and `wal_autocheckpoint = 0` existed only to make a
transaction's physical cost predictable for that charge; with the charge gone
SQLite's default checkpointing is what the journal wants, and the explicit
pre-close checkpoint is redundant with the one `db.close()` performs. WAL,
`synchronous = FULL` and `busy_timeout` stay.

Payloads: an oversized body is truncated at the existing inline cap with the
existing marker and the remainder is discarded, bounded at the translation
layer that already calls these helpers. The truncation point and message do
not change; the content-addressed blob directory and all digest tracking do.

Rate: no `maxAppendsPerWindow` and no `journal_rate_exceeded`.

`JournalPayloadLimits` is now just the inline cap.

* fix(agent-session-journal): mark a partial repair pending and bound multi-block tool input

A repair that keeps its prefix had nothing durable to show for the suffix it
deleted: a sequence gap costs no malformed row, so no disclosure is appended,
and the surviving rows keep their epoch anchor. The next probe read a
contiguous anchored prefix, called it clean, and the deleted stretch of
timeline was never asked for again — silent loss, with the deletion already
committed. The deletion now writes a `journal_repairs` marker in the SAME
transaction, and replay keeps reporting corrupt while it stands. It retires
under exactly the rule the emptied-epoch anchor takes: a fresh epoch carries
the rebuild, or the session writes content of its own past the sequence the
repair left free. The repair's own disclosure is not that content.

Legacy import bounded a tool call's input only when it was the message's sole
block; the multi-block path returned `tool-call` unchanged, so a mixed message
from Claude, Grok or an omp execution cell persisted the whole input despite
`inlineHeadBytes`. `boundBlock` now routes it through `boundToolInput`.

Also drops canonical comments describing quarantine, snapshot files, blob
storage and blob compaction — none of which exist any more.

* fix(agent-session-wire): stop awaiting the synchronous journal probe

loadJournal runs on a sync-database connection and returns JournalLoad | null, so both wire call sites were awaiting a non-Promise. The type-aware code-quality gate flags it; the native gate does not.

Neil 9acfba401a fix(crash-reporting): stop claiming kills that never landed, and leave proof when the own-Chromium pid set is unreadable (#18578)
* fix(crash-reporting): stop the codex POSIX teardown claiming a group that was already gone

terminatePosixTree's default group signal swallowed every process.kill error and
then recorded a self_tree_kill unconditionally, so an ESRCH — proof the group was
already gone and this teardown killed nothing — still put a suspect in the
five-second render-process-gone attribution window.

Every sibling group-kill in the tree already records only on a proven signal:
terminateDedicatedPosixGroup in this same file, forceKillPosixPtyProcessGroups,
and the claude account-login teardown. This makes the outlier match them.

* fix(crash-reporting): leave proof when the own-Chromium pid set cannot be read

`readOrcaChromiumProcessPids` returns an empty set when `getAppMetrics()`
throws, which is the right decision — refusing every kill would orphan every
PTY, git, codex and notebook tree main tears down, and on main a refusal from
`killSourceControlAgentProcess` releases the managed-home lock with the agent
still alive. But the empty set was byte-identical to "no Chromium on this
host", so the fail-open was invisible in a field bundle.

Keeps the decision, adds a coalesced durable `own_chromium_pids_unreadable`
crumb so the two cases are distinguishable. Coalesced because the gate reads
this set on every tree kill.

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

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

Two changes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

djegor315-sketch f27a30d1b6 fix(ai-vault): avoid large Codex scan timeouts (#17889)
Agent Session History exceeded its 130-second deadline on large local Codex
histories. Three costs combined: excluded worker transcripts were recognized on
their first line but still drained to EOF (1,011 files / ~18.3 GiB on the
reported corpus), large ignored records were fully decoded and JSON.parsed, and
the persisted parse cache was discarded on every app update.

- Stop resumable reads the moment `session_meta` marks a worker transcript.
- Skip decode + `JSON.parse` for records the parser only feeds to the timeline.
  The skip set is the complement of what `consumeCodexRecordLine` reads, and
  applies only above the bounded prefix limit, so a long opening prompt (which
  is the session title) still takes the exact parser.
- Prove cross-volume rollout aliases from a bounded `session_meta` read routed
  through the WSL transcript FS gate, carrying the scan's AbortSignal, fanned
  out across contested candidates with bounded concurrency.
- Make parse-cache schema 2 the semantic compatibility boundary so an update no
  longer forces a multi-gigabyte cold scan, fenced by a build-time ratchet on
  the persisted session shape.
- Report early-stopped transcripts as their own `aiVault.scan` attribute.

Verified on macOS, Ubuntu over SSH, and Windows: read volume drops 336 -> 49.5
MiB identically on all three; the Windows failing-test set is byte-identical to
main. Reported corpus: 130s timeout -> 58.6s, 244 sessions, 0 issues.

Fixes #17888.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim d4db524ba7 fix(native-chat): stop unjournaled provider frames from killing the session (#17813)
A frame the classifier declines (status-chrome, suppressed-benign, stream-into-item)
is deliberately not journaled. #17720 turned that null translation into
`{accepted: false, reason: 'untranslated'}`, which is not `backpressure`, so the
notification retry queue treated it as unreplayable and escalated through fail() ->
forceCloseUnexpected -> connection.close(). The app-server latched `closing` and the
create path's next model/list rejected with "codex app-server connection is closed
(model/list)".

The provider emits `remoteControl/status/changed` right after initialize, so every
structured Codex session died on its first chrome frame. Admit the null translation
instead, before any bookkeeping or publish.

Also restore the error-frame exemption from the generic row cap, dropped by the same
PR: the cap now runs after the classification check, so a noisy turn can no longer
reduce provider errors to a suppression count. The test that pinned the capped
behavior is inverted to assert the exemption.

Neil 20a12a6a46 perf(codex): share one launch-prep hook install across a spawn burst (#17669)
* perf(codex): share one launch-prep hook install across a spawn burst

Codex launch prep runs a full managed-hook install on every local PTY
spawn, and both install lanes serialize globally per Codex home. Opening
a multi-pane worktree therefore paid N full installs back to back, and a
resumed Codex pane prepares twice. Concurrent spawns for the same runtime
home now share one run; the promise is dropped as soon as it settles, so
the next launch still re-reads hooks.json and the user's trust state.

Also split the `host_env` spawn-timing phase, which spanned the entire
Codex preamble and pinned that cost on the env builder that ran last.

* refactor(codex): unify the two hook-install single-flight lanes

Both the WSL and launch-prep lanes now share one generic in-flight helper
instead of duplicating the map bookkeeping. Also routes the WSL launch-prep
install through the serialized variant, which closes the same per-spawn
serialization gap on WSL that the native lane just got.

* refactor: extract the shared in-flight run dedupe

The codex hook service and the GitHub conflict-summary cache had grown
near-identical private copies of the same single-flight helper. Both now
use one module, which also keeps the hook service clear of the 300-line
budget. The shared copy keeps the identity check on clear so a late settle
cannot evict a newer entry for the same key.

* test(codex): cover the drain's inode-identity guard against destination replacement

Removing the four `target_auth -ef temporary_destination_auth` assertions left
all 33 apply-script tests passing, so a regression deleting them would have
shipped silently. Reproduced before writing this.

A hash check cannot catch the case. The pinned hard link keeps the original
inode, so it still hashes correctly after another writer atomically renames a
different file over the destination path; only inode identity sees it. Without
the guard the script exits 0 and retires the source, leaving the user holding
bytes nothing validated. The new case asserts the source survives.

The harness is split by responsibility so no file exceeds its max-lines budget:
fixtures, the coreutils interference shims, the run types, the apply runner, and
the recovery/absent runners. The atomic-rename hook is deliberately separate
from the in-place rewrite shim because different guards catch them.

* fix(codex): keep the split drain harness inside the child-process boundaries

Extracting the harness into non-test modules moved it out of the exemptions the
single test file had: three new files import child_process, and two spawned
without windowsHide.

Adds the three to the import allowlist, and sets windowsHide on the spawns
rather than exempting them - the flag is correct for these calls regardless of
the ratchet, and they are skipped on win32 anyway.

* fix(agent-hooks): route reminted pane keys to canonical identity (STA-3993)

Spawn was stripping $$<base32>:L$$ ORCA_PANE_KEY values (and the launch
token) instead of rewriting them to the metadata-proven tab:leaf key, so
OMP hooks never entered last-status.json and sleeping rows stayed working.

Alias that exact remint form onto the canonical pane so later posts still
route, and keep unmatched tokens from stamping another pane.

* fix(agent-hooks): keep reminted pane-key aliases first-pane-wins

Remint tokens have no embedded tab identity, so a later spawn that reused
the same $$ token with a different tab/leaf was overwriting the alias and
routing leftover hook posts onto the new pane. Refuse destination changes
for that form while still allowing same-pane pty id updates.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 585b4086d3 test(codex): pin Codex read-repair with a real-binary contract check (#17300)
* test(codex): pin Codex read-repair with a real-binary contract check

Orca's session index-heal depends on a Codex behavior: a `thread/read` of an
unindexed rollout performs a read-repair that inserts the `threads` row. All 55
existing heal tests drive a stub app-server and assert "healed" as "the call did
not error", so if Codex ever dropped the repair they would all stay green while
the subsystem went silently inert.

Adds a real-binary contract check built to the same shape as the Git binary
compatibility contract (src/shared/git-binary-compatibility.test.ts): env-gated
test file, version asserted against the binary, dedicated path-filtered PR job.

Pins only the four arms ablation established Orca relies on:
  - a read of an unindexed rollout inserts the state row
  - a session with no read inserts nothing (the negative control that makes the
    insert causal rather than incidental)
  - re-reading an indexed thread inserts nothing
  - an archived thread stays archived rather than being resurrected

Written against codex-cli 0.150.1. The job sets ORCA_CODEX_CONTRACT_REQUIRED=1
so a missing or failed CLI install fails red instead of silently skipping.

Existing heal tests are unchanged.

* test(codex): register the contract job in the verify aggregate contract

`pr-workflow-parallelism.test.mjs` pins `verify.needs` exactly, so adding the
job to pr.yml without updating that list failed the shard. Adds the entry, and
adds a workflow contract test mirroring `git-binary-compatibility-workflow.test.mjs`:

  - the pinned CODEX_CLI_VERSION is the single source for both the npm install
    and the runtime version assertion, so the two cannot drift apart
  - the install prefix and the binary path the test is pointed at are the same tree
  - ORCA_CODEX_CONTRACT_REQUIRED=1 is set, so a failed install fails red rather
    than turning the job into a green no-op

Removing the REQUIRED env from pr.yml reddens the new test, confirming it is live.

* test(codex): make binary version guard exact and bounded

* ci(codex): cover index-heal transport dependencies

* test(ci): pin Codex contract dependency coverage

* test(codex): align contract watchdog with child deadlines

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.

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.

to the post-#16947 reality: LF-only patch bytes plus lockfile hash sync.

* fix(codex): heal WSL hooks before typed launches

* test(codex): keep launcher fixture type-safe on Windows

* fix(build): list codex-home-wsl-env in the CLI typecheck project

`managed-home-shell-preflight.ts` is already in the CLI project's include list and now imports
`wslCodexRuntimeHomeForGuestHome` from `src/main/pty/codex-home-wsl-env.ts`, which the list did not
cover — TS6307, so the CLI typecheck failed on every push.

Added the single module rather than a `src/main/pty/**` glob: it is a 31-line leaf with no imports
of its own, so it does not widen what the CLI bundle can reach.

* fix(codex): converge the two WSL hook install lanes onto one writer

Two independent readiness reviews agreed the Orca-terminal boundary holds, but Codex Sol found a
P1 the other rated P2: the new just-in-time repair raced the existing relay installer and the two
produced DIFFERENT hook and trust representations for the same managed home. Two unserialized
writers emitting different formats is worse than the bug this PR fixes, because it fails
intermittently rather than cleanly — a pane works or does not depending on which lane won.

- Relay Codex installs now delegate to the runtime-home writer, so there is one canonical
  representation instead of two. Redirected scripts use the runtime path, the readable wrapper,
  and the prepended group.
- `installForRuntimeHomeSerialized` puts every asynchronous WSL caller for a given home on one
  queue (`wslInstallQueues`), so concurrent panes cannot interleave writes.

Also rewrites the stale pin test the new `-x` guard broke. It asserted the defect —
"would run the impostor if the preflight carried an unqualified command name", expecting the
hijack marker to exist. The guard is a security improvement, so the test now asserts the contract:
an unqualified preflight is skipped and the marker is never written. Rewritten to the new
behavior, not loosened or deleted.

818 tests pass across the affected suites; typecheck clean. The changed-file quality gate could
not run locally — its pnpm engine-warning JSON parser fails under Node 26 — so CI covers it.

The boundary both reviews verified is untouched: paired/relay/mobile clients stay hard-blocked
from the RPC, params remain shape-locked to the managed home suffix with traversal rejection,
nothing is written outside the managed home, and macOS/Linux stay inert.

Brennan Benson 928d306b53 fix(agent-hooks): stop the Windows hook launcher spelling the AV-denied flag pair (STA-5237) (#16739)
* fix(agent-hooks): stop the Windows hook launcher spelling the AV-denied flag pair (STA-5237)

`-WindowStyle Hidden` + `-EncodedCommand` is denied at CreateProcess by
Kaspersky on Windows 11, whatever the payload decodes to. Bash reports it as
`Permission denied` and every managed hook event fails, so agent status never
arrives; the parent shell also briefly cannot spawn anything afterwards, so a
denied hook can take the user's next command down with it.

Measured on the reporting host (#16003), with a harmless `exit 0` payload:

  -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -EncodedCommand  126
  -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -EncodedCommand                          126
  -WindowStyle Hidden -EncodedCommand                                     126
  -NoProfile -EncodedCommand                                              0 (5/5)

#16576 removed `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`, which is the one flag of the three
NOT in the signature, so hooks kept failing after that fix. The pair that has
to stop being spelled is `-WindowStyle Hidden` + `-EncodedCommand`.

Because the change is to the shared switch constant, it covers every site that
spells the denied pair in one edit: Claude via `wrapWindowsPowerShellEncodedCommand`,
gemini/cursor/droid/command-code/copilot via `wrapWindowsHookCommand`, the
`runtime-home-hook-command` unsafe-HOME fallback, and the spaced-path fallback
for codex/grok/devin/antigravity. Only a flag is removed, so parser and payload
compatibility is unchanged for every executor: the string is still a PowerShell
command line, still one self-contained token, still base64-shielded.

The tradeoff, recorded rather than hidden: `-WindowStyle Hidden` was the shipped
fix for #14815 (+#14828, #15117, #15447, #15767), and this removes it. Its
suppression was never measured — #14825 confirmed it visually, #16576's author
stated it "remains unverified on a real box", and #15506's author argued it
cannot help a `.cmd` child with no console to inherit. The console is allocated
by the parent chain, not by this command line. A live window measurement is
still outstanding and is called out in the PR.

Also adds `windows-hook-payload-delivery.test.ts` to the PR CI Windows leg,
which had never run it.

Neil 9062494f9b fix(ai-vault): stop a whole opencode.db failure reading as one skipped transcript (#16587)
* fix(ai-vault): stop a whole opencode.db failure reading as one skipped transcript

#15036 reported "1 transcript skipped / database is locked" with both Agent
Session History scopes empty. Two separate defects.

The panel counts every unkinded scan issue as a skipped transcript, so a
failure that lost an entire *source* was reported as one lost *file*. The
whole-database failure is now kinded `scope`, and an unknown `kind` from a
newer host degrades to `scope` instead of failing validation and coming back
unkinded — a mixed-version remote host previously turned a source-level
failure into a phantom skipped transcript.

The read also inherited sqlite3's 0 ms busy timeout, so a genuinely contended
open failed in ~1 ms. It now opens once with a bounded timeout. No retry loop:
sqlite's own busy handler already blocks and retries internally for the whole
timeout, and WAL readers do not block on a writer at all (measured: 547/547
cross-process reads at timeout=0 while a writer held open transactions).

Measured against a real Ubuntu-24.04 distro, Windows cannot take SQLite's file
locks over \\wsl.localhost at all: an idle, never-WAL, nothing-attached
database still answers SQLITE_BUSY, a 5 s busy timeout does not change it, and
the identical bytes open fine once copied to local disk. So a lock-family error
on that share never means "a writer holds it" and no timeout can help. The copy
says so rather than sending the user after a write-ahead log that is not the
problem. Restoring those sessions needs an in-distro read; that is a follow-up,
and this PR no longer pretends a timeout will do it.

immutable=1 is deliberately not used as a workaround: over the same share it
opens and returns 100 of 150 rows, silently dropping everything still in the
uncheckpointed -wal — in a history panel, exactly the newest sessions.

This reverts commit ebcd637db9 (#16504) and dependent commit 673842db35 (#16505).

Launch-blocker rationale (findings-counsel validated):
- P0 Data Loss (F06-1): The WSL legacy auth drain deleteSource=1 path deletes intact source auth without re-validating the destination after concurrent destination rewrites, permanently corrupting auth credentials on upgrade.
- P1 Workflow Regression (FC-01): Pre-upgrade sessions under ~/.local/share/orca/codex-runtime-home/home are not linked into direct homes, breaking /resume in the Codex CLI for upgrading WSL users.

The apply script validated the source hash and then re-read it with cp, so a
legacy pane rotating in that window put bytes freshness never judged over a
valid account home. Codex rewrites auth.json in place, so that read can be torn.

Covers it by running the real guest script under sh with a sha256sum shim that
rotates the source between the two reads; without the guard it exits 0.

Neil 26721bd632 fix(codex): stop blocking the main thread on trust grants (#16441) (#16594)
* fix(codex): stop blocking the main thread on trust grants (#16441)

Codex hook trust was granted by blocking the Electron main thread on
`spawnSync` of a bundled ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE entry for the whole
app-server deadline: 15s native, 35s WSL, ~45s on the real-home path
(rebase inspect + repair + grant). Cold start and every Codex pane
launch showed "Not Responding"; the reported event-loop gap was
15,049 ms.

The subprocess only ever existed to donate an event loop to a
deliberately blocked parent — `runCodexHookTrustGrantSession` was
already the real async implementation. Make the callers async and the
fork is unnecessary, so the bridge, the forked entry and its envelope
are deleted along with their build/knip/tsconfig registrations. The CLI
`agent hooks prepare-codex` handler is already async, so it awaits the
in-process session and saves a process spawn per managed-home shell.

`resolveCodexTrustGrantHost` is async too; the WSL identity probe moves
from `execFileSync` to `runProcess`, dropping that file from the
child-process import allowlist. Status reads keep a synchronous
native-only stamp path.

Two invariants that held only because the lane blocked:

- Overlapping capability probes were impossible by construction.
  `GitCapabilityCache`'s dedupe engine is extracted to a shared
  `CapabilityProbeCache` and `CodexAppServerCapabilityCache` now
  inherits it, so concurrent launches against a cold host share one
  app-server session instead of one each.
- Two grants on one `config.toml` could not interleave capture and
  restore. A reentrant per-file lane now serializes the whole install
  sequence (managed, WSL runtime, real-home ensure, legacy sweep) and
  the grant and rebase inside it.

Cold-start work moves off the critical path: retained-home
reconciliation (N sequential sessions) is fire-and-forget behind the
daemon provider, and the startup real-home ensure chains into managed
hook reconciliation instead of blocking app init.

Every preserved semantic is unchanged: never throws, the
ORCA_DISABLE_CODEX_TRUST_RPC kill switch, ledger hits, backfill-pending
and cooldown fallbacks, config rollback on every failure path,
pre-grant self-computed trust removal, the verify-failure taxonomy,
diagnostics and telemetry.

* fix(codex): widen the trust-config lane to every config.toml writer

Review follow-ups on #16441's async trust grant:

- `markCodexProjectTrusted` now runs inside the runtime+system config.toml
  lanes, so a project-trust write can no longer land inside a hook grant's
  capture->restore window and be silently reverted. Its callers await it.
- `install`/`refreshRuntimeUserHooks`/`remove` hold the system config.toml
  lane as well as the runtime one — they promote approvals into
  ~/.codex/config.toml and mirror it back. Lock order is runtime-before-system
  everywhere.
- The real-home ensure chain resumes after a rejection instead of returning
  the same rejected promise to every later pane launch, and resolving the real
  home is now inside the module's never-throws boundary.
- `buildSpawnEnv` awaits inside a cancelable pending-spawn registration, so
  shutdown during the (now long) env build stops the PTY from launching.
  `prepareLocalPtySpawn` generalizes into `awaitCancelableLocalPtySpawn`.
- CapabilityProbeCache drops the test-only `nowMs` passthrough; its probe
  backstop comment now describes what it actually guards.
- Preflight is a plain async function; the trust dispatch in orca-runtime
  collapses into one `markWorkspaceTrustedForAgent`.

* test(codex): exercise the trust-config lane under real concurrency

The async grant makes two pane launches overlap for the first time. These
drive the real modules end to end on real files: a rollback swallowing a
sibling's grant, a markCodexProjectTrusted write landing inside a capture
-> restore window, shared capability-probe dedupe on a cold host, the
host-scoped transient cooldown, and reentrancy from inside an installer.

Each was verified to fail against a deliberately broken implementation
(lane removed, dedupe disabled, cooldown made global, reentrancy pass-
through disabled).

* test(codex): stop hook-service suites spawning the developer's real codex

The forked grant bundle never existed under vitest, so the RPC lane was
unreachable in tests on main. Running it in-process makes these suites
spawn a real `codex app-server` when one is installed: 38 spawns and two
failures in hook-service-runtime-trust-repair on a machine with codex,
green in CI where there is none. Stand in for the missing binary so both
environments exercise the same fallback lane.

* docs(codex): scope the trust-RPC kill switch comment to what it actually gates

The comment read as though the flag forces the fallback lane everywhere. It
gates the managed grant only: the real-home rebase still runs its own
inspect/repair app-server sessions when Orca's insertion shifts a user's hook
positions, and never reads the flag.

Verified by exercise, not by reading — with the flag set, both
inspect-user-hook-trust and repair-user-hook-trust still ran. Pre-existing:
main has no check there either, it just blocked the main thread while doing it.

Widening the flag to cover the rebase is a follow-up; this only stops the
comment promising something the constant does not do.

Neil 015f904fca fix(codex): stop re-scanning all Codex session history on every launch (#16251) (#16593)
* fix(codex): stop re-scanning all Codex session history on every launch (#16251)

A launch deleted the backfill completion marker, and a marker could never
be written while a Codex pane was open, so every launch re-derived
"needs full scan" and walked the entire .codex/sessions tree — on Windows
with a large history that read as a hung window.

- v4 marker keeps a durable full-history baseline plus a bounded set of
  pending dates. v3 is read as a baseline, so upgrades pay no full scan.
- A launch now marks dates pending instead of deleting the marker, and a
  full pass certifies the baseline even while a pane is still running;
  the live pane's own date just stays pending.
- Pending dates are persisted, so an abnormal exit or a cross-midnight
  pane recovers a bounded window instead of a full walk.
- A date-limited pass can only extend an existing baseline, never create
  one, so it can no longer certify history it never looked at.
- Marker and index-heal target roots compare through
  normalizeRuntimePathForComparison, so Windows spellings of one
  directory stop invalidating each other.
- Both append-only ledgers stream instead of readFileSync + whole-file
  JSON.parse, keeping the main thread responsive on large histories.

* fix(codex): keep the backfill marker's full-scan demand durable

Review follow-ups on the v4 backfill marker:

- markCodexSessionBackfillMarkerPending no longer erases a persisted
  needsFullScan; the demand survives until a generation-current full walk
  retires it, and the function now reports it so the launch path folds it
  into its own in-memory flag (as @rumoii's #16252 does).
- A full pass settles the whole pending set instead of subtracting the
  empty set, so a date a full walk provably covered stops forcing an extra
  bounded pass on every startup.
- isCodexSessionBackfillDate does a real calendar check, so a corrupted
  marker cannot carry 2026/99/99. No age or future bound: the same guard
  gates rollout publication and a clock-skewed directory holds real
  sessions.
- 'scans only the current date once a baseline exists' now has a second
  date directory, so it fails on a full walk instead of passing either way.

Neil c1a7748267 fix(agent-hooks): stop the Windows hook launcher spelling the AV-denied flag triple (#16576)
* fix(agent-hooks): stop the hook launcher spelling the AV-denied flag triple

Orca's Windows agent-hook launcher ran

  powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden \
    -EncodedCommand <base64>

That exact combination is the textbook "hidden encoded PowerShell" malware
shape, and endpoint security denies it at process creation whatever the
payload decodes to -- even `exit 0`. Every injected hook then failed with
`powershell.exe: Permission denied` (exit 126 from bash's execve, EACCES)
on every turn, for both Claude Code and Codex, with no AV exclusion that
re-enabled it.

Dropping any one of the three flags clears the signature. `-ExecutionPolicy
Bypass` is the one that can move: it sets the Process scope, and so does
`Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process`, which now rides inside the encoded
payload. `-EncodedCommand` is never policy-gated, so the bypass always gets
to run before the managed script does -- which is what keeps Copilot's .ps1
hook working under a Restricted or AllSigned machine policy.

The hidden window and the encoding are unchanged, so nothing regresses for
#14815, #14818 or #6078.

Closes #16003

* fix(agent-hooks): ship the launcher shape #16003 actually measured as allowed

The previous revision of this branch dropped only `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass`
and kept `-WindowStyle Hidden -EncodedCommand`, on the reasoning that
"dropping any one of the three flags clears the signature". That sentence is
not in the bisect. The reporter ran exactly four command lines on the affected
Kaspersky/Windows 11 host:

  -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -Command 'exit 0'                       -> 0
  -NoProfile -EncodedCommand <b64>                                       -> 0
  -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command 'exit 0'                   -> 0
  -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -WindowStyle Hidden -EncodedCommand -> 126

Every passing row drops two flags. No row drops exactly one, so the shape the
branch was about to ship had never been executed on the machine that reports
the bug -- and it is `-WindowStyle Hidden -EncodedCommand`, which is the
"hidden encoded PowerShell" pair the denial is named for in our own comment.
Shipping it would have closed #16003 while leaving every hook on that host
dying at CreateProcess, with no tracking left open.

So emit the measured-passing encoded row instead: `-NoProfile -EncodedCommand`.
Of the two flags there was a choice between, `-EncodedCommand` is the one that
carries correctness -- it is what keeps paths and switches intact across
cmd.exe and MSYS (#6078, #14815). `-WindowStyle Hidden` costs at most a console
flash, and only where the parent has no console to inherit.

Second, the relocated bypass now runs inside try/catch. Under a MachinePolicy
or UserPolicy GPO scope, `Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process` reports that the
process scope did not take. `-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue` covers only the
non-terminating half of that; the command-line switch it replaces was silent
either way. This file already documents that non-stdout PowerShell streams
corrupt consumers merging our output into JSON stdout, so a per-invocation
ErrorRecord on stderr is a regression we should not trade for the switch.

Refs #16003

* fix(agent-hooks): keep the hook console hidden while dropping the AV-denied flag

Round 2 of this PR widened the fix from "stop spelling -ExecutionPolicy Bypass"
to "stop spelling it and -WindowStyle Hidden", on the reasoning that the #16003
reporter never measured a shape that drops exactly one flag, so keeping the
hidden+encoded pair would be extrapolation.

That trades a reproduced regression for an unmeasured one. Window suppression is
the shipped fix for #14815 and its four duplicates (#14828, #15117, #15447,
#15767): a hook launched from a parent with no console gets a fresh console per
event, which takes foreground and eats whatever the user is typing into Orca,
and never closes at all on the stdin-blocking path hook-stdin-contract.ts exists
to guard. That fires on every prompt, tool call and stop of every managed agent.
The AV denial, by contrast, is measured only for the full triple; that the
remaining pair still trips it is a hypothesis. Between a certain regression and
a possible one, keep the certainty.

So the flag that leaves the command line is the policy bypass alone — the only
one of the three with an exact in-payload equivalent, hence the only one that
can move without losing behaviour. If the pair turns out to be denied too, the
answer is a different shape that still hides the window.

* fix(agent-hooks): silence progress before the policy bypass can autoload (#16621)

Hardware-measured on Windows 11 while exercising #16576.

Set-ExecutionPolicy autoloads Microsoft.PowerShell.Security, and that module's
"Preparing modules for first use." progress record is written before any later
assignment can suppress it. Running the bypass first therefore defeated the
silencer that runs immediately after it:

  bypass-first    stderr = 616 bytes, first merged line '#< CLIXML'
  silencer-first  stderr = 0 bytes,   first merged line '{"decision":"approve"}'

That is precisely the corruption HOOK_PROGRESS_SILENCER's own comment warns
about -- redirected progress becoming CLIXML that can corrupt merged JSON -- so
the PR reintroduced the hazard it documents, one line below documenting it.

Both existing tests asserted the broken order, so they enforced the bug rather
than catching it. Reordered them and added one that pins the ordering itself
rather than the literal string, since the string will drift again.

Neil 2b1b094aa8 fix(cli): pair every resolved CLI with its runtime, and ratchet it (#16383)
Follow-up to #16365, which paired 8 spawn sites by hand. Hand-pairing is how
the class got introduced, so close it structurally instead.

cliPath is now required on CodexAppServerInvocation, `null` only for the
guest-side wsl.exe launcher where a host path pairs nothing. Optional let a
native builder omit it and silently fall back to pairing against a cmd.exe
wrapper with no type error. Every production site already passed it; only
test fixtures needed updating, which is the type doing its job.

Four more sites now pair. codex-state-db-backfill-recovery spawns the same
`codex app-server` subcommand #16365 fixed elsewhere. cli/handlers/account
was the worst case: addAgentNodePaths prepends the *newest* version-manager
bin, which is not necessarily where the CLI being launched lives, so it
actively created the mismatch — pairing now runs last so the CLI's own node
wins. commit-message-text-generation and skills/skill-update-run spawn
resolved binaries with inherited env.

cli/handlers/skills had grown its own buildNpxPath: a weaker local copy that
prepended unconditionally, ignored the Windows `Path` key, and special-cased
a '.' dirname. Deleted in favor of the shared helper, which checks the
sibling node actually exists — the behavior change one test had pinned.

The ratchet is the point: any file that resolves a CLI and spawns must
reference withCliRuntimeOnPath, with a shrink-only allowlist. It caught
skill-update-run, which I had missed. Its first draft required a call paren
and so let dependency-injected resolvers (`resolveCommand: resolveCodexCommand`)
through — verified by removing a pairing and watching it stay green, then
widened until it failed. A second assertion fails on a stale allowlist entry
so an exemption cannot outlive its reason.

external-editor-launch stays allowlisted: it launches a GUI editor, not a
Node CLI whose ABI matters.

Neil a7505fd911 fix(cli): spawn a version-manager CLI with its own node runtime (#16365)
* fix(cli): spawn a version-manager CLI with its own node runtime

resolveCliCommand falls back to scanning every version-manager install when
PATH misses, so it can hand back ~/.nvm/versions/node/v20.x/bin/codex while
PATH still leads with v22. Nothing paired the binary with the runtime it was
installed against, so its `#!/usr/bin/env node` shebang loaded a v20-built
native module under a v22 ABI and the agent died on first require (#10932).

Reproduced with a real addon rather than asserted: a CLI requiring a
cpu-features build for NODE_MODULE_VERSION 115, spawned with v24 leading
PATH, fails with ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED and exit 1. With the CLI's own bin
directory prepended it runs clean.

withCliRuntimeOnPath prepends the resolved command's directory when that
directory ships a sibling node, and is a no-op otherwise — so a Homebrew or
/usr/local CLI is untouched, and the WSL paths pass a bare `codex`/`claude`
that is not absolute and so never matches.

Host CLI resolution in the Claude login path is now lazy, keeping the WSL
branch from resolving a host binary it never spawns.

* fix(cli): split PATH on the delimiter we join with, pair app-server too

Readiness review findings, all four addressed.

withCliRuntimeOnPath chose its join delimiter from the platform option but
split with the host's. Passing platform:'win32' from a posix host turned
`C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32` into `C;\Windows;C;\Windows\System32` —
every drive letter torn off at its colon. Latent, since no shipped caller
passes platform, but the sole win32 test was written against the corrupted
value and asserted one split segment, so it green-lit the shredding.

That test's other assertion was vacuous: it seeded only `Path`, so the
`PATH` key it asserted absent could never exist. Deleting the whole
case-dedupe block left the suite green. It now seeds both keys and asserts
the full joined string; removing the block fails it.

Nothing covered the wiring, and the argument choice is the easy thing to get
silently wrong. Note it only diverges on win32 — on posix
getSpawnArgsForWindows returns the CLI itself, so pairing the spawn command
is indistinguishable there. The new test drives the win32 branch with a .cmd
fixture; pairing spawnCmd or dropping the wrapper both fail it now.

codex-trust-grant-host and codex-session-index-heal spawn the same
`codex app-server` subcommand through runCodexAppServerSession and were left
unpaired. Pair centrally there via a new optional cliPath, since
invocation.command may be a cmd.exe wrapper.

Pairing tests live in their own file: adding them inline pushed
codex-fetcher.test.ts past the 800-line ratchet.

* fix(cli): read the Windows path key the child will actually use

Round-2 review finding. The read was narrower than the delete: the key was
picked from exactly two spellings (`Path`, else `PATH`), while the twin
dedupe removed every key whose lowercase form is `path`. A block spelling it
`path` or `pATh` therefore had its value deleted without ever being read,
handing the child a PATH containing only the CLI's own directory — a strictly
worse outcome than not pairing at all.

Win32 resolves env names case-insensitively and object order preserves block
order, so the entry the child reads is the first case-insensitive match. The
repo already encodes that rule in resolvePathEnvKey
(src/main/pty/windows-path-segment-merge.ts); src/shared cannot import from
src/main, so mirror it locally.

Verified by execution across six env shapes: lowercase, mixed-case, Path-only,
PATH-only, both twins, and a PATHEXT control that must not be touched. All
preserve the original PATH; before the fix the first two lost it entirely.
Reverting the selector fails the new test and nothing else.

Brennan Benson 8d08d0078d fix(codex): stop an unreadable legacy hooks.json from clearing managed trust (#16147)
`cleanupLegacySystemManagedHooks` reads `~/.codex/hooks.json` and, when it finds
no hooks, removes Orca's managed trust entries from the system config.toml and
deletes that home's grant-ledger record.

Since the STA-4823 read classification landed, `readHooksJsonWithRaw` reports a
genuine absence as `{ raw: null, config: {} }` and a failed read as
`{ raw: null, config: null }`. Both still fell into the same branch, so a read
that merely failed discarded hook approvals the user had already given — and the
ledger record that would have let a later pass notice.

Only the definitive-absence answer may reach the removal now.

Found while reviewing #15417 and not covered by it: that PR fixed the classifier
and this is a consumer of it that still collapsed the two answers.

The sibling `assertHooksJsonGeneration` guard in codex-real-home-hook-install.ts
has the same `existsSync ? read : null` shape and is deliberately NOT changed
here. Measured, a permission denial leaves existsSync true and throws from the
read, so that path already fails closed; a guard there could not be made to fail
in a test and would be unprovable code.

Brennan Benson 677718c4a5 fix(codex): stop rebuilding shared Codex state from a read that failed (STA-4823) (#15417)
* fix(codex): stop rebuilding shared Codex state from a read that failed (STA-4823)

Six shared files were rebuilt, erased or reported healthy after a read that had
only failed. Batch A of the STA-4606 split: every one of these is reachable and
testable on the host lane, so none of them wait on the WSL work.

- `config-toml-trust.ts` upsertHookTrustEntries: `existsSync` reported a locked
  config.toml as absent, so the base content became '' and the upsert rewrote
  the file from the trust entries alone — a trust-only stub, with the user's
  model, provider, MCP servers, approvals and comments gone. It refuses now;
  every hook-service caller already turns that into "trust entries could not be
  written. Run /hooks in Codex to approve."
- `codex-trust-grant-ledger.ts`: an unreadable ledger degraded to empty and the
  next write persisted a file holding only the home being written, dropping
  every other home's grants. The write paths refuse; the read path still
  degrades, and a corrupt ledger is still rebuilt.
- `codex-pane-account-registry.ts`: an unreadable registry erased every pane's
  attribution AND cached that erasure, so it survived the file recovering. The
  failure is no longer cached, and both write sites refuse rather than persist a
  registry derived from an empty stand-in.
- `hooks-json-read.ts`: the read arm already separated "no hooks" from "could
  not read", but the `existsSync` arm in front of it returned a valid empty
  config for a file that could not be opened. One read now classifies both.
- `config-settings-baseline.ts`: absent, unparseable and unreadable all collapsed
  into `null`, so the snapshot rebuilt a baseline it could not read — recording
  an in-Codex edit as Orca's own write, after which promotion skips it forever.
- `config-sync-stall.ts`: an unreadable runtime config read as absent and the
  status reported `synced` while the mirror was refusing. It reports
  `managed-home-unavailable`, the existing reason for exactly this, rather than
  borrowing a source-side one and blaming the wrong path.

Absent and malformed still rebuild throughout — resetting corrupt state is the
intent, and conflating it with unreadable would wedge a user on a broken file.

* fix(codex): close shared state read-denial gaps

* fix(codex): recover oversized settings baselines

* fix(codex): name the stalled managed config

* fix(codex): preserve hooks after failed source reads

* test(codex): correct what the denyExistence rig actually models

MEASURED on both platforms: a file-permission denial leaves existsSync TRUE
and fails only the content read — chmod 000 gives EACCES on macOS, icacls
/deny (R) gives EPERM errno -4048 on Windows, with stat/lstat succeeding in
both. The rig's docblock claimed this mode modelled that denial. It does not.

What it models is the UNC / \\wsl$ transport, where an unreachable distro
reports errno UNKNOWN at every level and existsSync folds it to false.

The distinction decides what the D29 guard is worth: under a permission denial
the pre-fix code already failed safe, because existsSync was true so it took
the read branch and threw. Only a transport that lies about existence reaches
the rebuild-from-empty path. No behaviour change; the comment was wrong, not
the code.

* test(codex): exercise live baseline read denial

* fix(codex): retry pane attribution writes

* fix(codex): retry reconciliation registry writes

* fix(codex): report unreadable sync baselines

Neil e9e238c883 refactor(wsl): delete the environment-policy layer the reviews kept failing on (#16007)
* refactor(wsl): delete the environment-policy layer the reviews kept failing on

A design council (Opus, Grok, GPT-5.6-Sol) reviewed the merged runner after it
took eleven review rounds to land. All three reached the same conclusion: the
invocation half is sound, the environment/probe half is not, and every round had
been debugging the second one.

The finding that settled it, from Opus: `environmentResolved` had **54
references, all in tests and the runner itself. Not one production reader.** The
safety mechanism the strict default existed for was never wired to anything, so
all 19 degrading sites reported absence with full confidence anyway -- #9725
live at every one, under comments claiming it was handled. Two of those comments
say so out loud; I wrote them.

Root cause, in one line: every knob existed only because a failed probe was
fatal. So it no longer is.

- `allowDegradedEnvironment` and `WslGuestEnvironmentUnavailableError` are gone.
  A missing login PATH is a fact in the result, not an exception. That deletes
  23 opt-outs, six catch-and-remap blocks, the transient/rejected cooldown
  split, `probedWithBudget`, and the 1.5x re-probe heuristic -- none of which
  had a reason to exist once the case stopped throwing.
- `lane` + `allowDegradedEnvironment` collapse into `loginPath: 'none' |
  'preferred'`. 19 of 23 sites passed the opt-out, and two said in comments that
  they did not want the login PATH at all: the flag had become the `'none'` the
  union was missing.
- The `interactive` lane is deleted. It had zero production callers and kept ~30
  lines of fence plumbing alive for tests only.

Net -98 production lines; the runner itself sheds 86 for 38.

Also carries three fixes from the W3 orphan-PR sweep I had not done:
- `WSL_UTF8=1` in the runner. My relay migration deleted the only place setting
  it, so wsl.exe's own error text arrived UTF-16LE and read as NUL-riddled.
  A regression I introduced. Credit: #9010 (Chang-Jin-Lee).
- `GITLAB_HOST` is now named in WSLENV, so a ported self-hosted host actually
  crosses into a distro-routed glab (#12557). Credit: #12558 (makoto-developer).
- The WSL skill-setup command pipes into `sh` instead of `eval "$(...)"`, whose
  nested quoting produced `word unexpected (expecting "in")` (#14292). Credit:
  #14785 (innocarpe).

* fix(wsl): restore the login PATH for the Codex availability lookup

loginPath:'none' on a PATH lookup reports an nvm-installed codex as absent,
which is #9725. A miss without a resolved environment is now 'could not
check', not 'not installed'.

Also hardens the guards that should have caught it:
- bashism ratchet is per-call, not per-file, and fails closed on lexer desync
- blankStringContents handles regex literals (an apostrophe in /'/g desynced
  the lexer, so the scan silently found zero calls)
- windowsHide allowlist 85 -> 80, stale once the lexer parsed those files

Credit: Grok (P0), GPT-Sol (ratchet gaps).

* test(wsl): close the two ratchet gaps that let planted spawns pass

- variable-indirected wsl.exe (`const b = 'wsl.exe'; spawnProcess(b)`) is now
  tracked, so the 5 files recorded only in a comment become real allowlist
  entries. Three actually spawn that way; the other two never spawned wsl.exe
  at all, so the prose record was wrong by three in the hiding direction.
- promisify(renamedAlias) is now resolved, so `const run = promisify(execFile)`
  behind an `execFile as x` import can no longer skip windowsHide.

Each verified by planting the violation, watching it fail, restoring, watching
it pass. Credit: GPT-Sol.

* fix(source-scan): stop the regex-literal reader from eating block comments

At index 0 there is no preceding token, so a file opening with a banner
comment had its `/*` read as a pattern and swallowed to the next slash --
110k characters of preload/index.ts, in the direction that hides offenders.

Measured across the tree, old lexer vs new: worst-case over-blanking drops
from -110564 to -1116 characters, and files that desync drop from 51 to 22.
The remaining extra blanking is regex interiors, which is the intent.

Regression tests for both lexer bugs, each verified to fail with its fix
reverted. The first draft of the comment test did not bind -- it asserted on
text after the swallowed span.

* fix(wsl): restore the unverifiable signal on the two remaining probe sites

Round 2. Three call sites used to throw when the login-PATH probe failed;
the redesign rewired one (Codex) and left two reporting confident absence.

- skill-wsl-provider-detection: the script ends in `|| true`, so a lookup
  without the login PATH exits 0 with empty stdout -- identical to 'nothing
  installed'. Callers skip the ~/.codex and ~/.claude skill roots on an empty
  list, losing an nvm-installed provider's skills.
- wsl-cli-installer: the dead catch is replaced by an explicit check. Its
  `case ":$PATH:"` probe otherwise answers from the distro default PATH and
  Settings states as fact that the CLI is not on PATH. Timeout is checked
  first, since a timed-out run also leaves the environment unresolved.

Also narrows the regex-literal prev-token set. '!', '+', '-', '>' and '}' are
value terminators as often as operators, so postfix `n-- / 2` and JSX
`<A size={14} /> : <B` were read as patterns and their spans blanked -- 13
live JSX spans, and one swallowed execFile call that left no desync behind.
False negatives only risk a desync, and desync fails closed.

Plus: WSL_UTF8 on the probe spawn (#9010 reached the runner, not the probe),
and the allowlist header I shuffled by sorting comments along with entries.

Credit: Grok (both P1s), Opus (lexer false positives).

* docs(wsl): drop the lane comments the redesign made false

The interactive lane is gone, so 'both lanes' and the fenced-stdout note
described code that no longer exists. Also states plainly that
environmentResolved is always true under loginPath:'none' -- the field cannot
rescue a PATH lookup that was mislabelled, which is how #9725 came back.

Credit: Grok.

* fix(wsl): stop piping user scripts into the shell's stdin

The W3 migration moved hooks from `wsl.exe --exec bash -c <script>` to a
script piped into `bash -s`. Anything the script runs that reads stdin then
drains the rest of the script, bash hits EOF and exits 0, and the caller logs
success -- an orca.yaml hook of `ssh -T git@github.com || true` followed by
`pnpm install` silently never installs.

Scripts now travel in argv by default, which is what the pre-migration code
did and what --exec makes safe. `scriptDelivery: 'stdin'` stays for the one
caller that needs it: the hook-relay installer embeds a base64 JS bundle far
past any command-line limit, and reads no stdin.

A runner test already described this exact EOF hazard -- for the login shell,
not for the guest command it was itself creating.

Credit: code review.

* fix(skills): make the unverifiable check unconditional, and stop double-probing

Round 3.

- provider detection threw only on an EMPTY result, so a degraded partial hit
  slipped through: `claude` visible on the default PATH via Windows interop
  plus an nvm-only `codex` returns a plausible ['claude'], and the caller then
  skips the ~/.codex skill roots for a provider that is installed. The
  installer already got this right with an unconditional throw.
- three sites asked for 'preferred' without needing it. The GROK_HOME probe
  runs its own `"$login_shell" -lc`, so the runner's probe was a second login
  shell eating up to half an 8s budget; the two skill scans are
  find/base64/head/printf/stat over $HOME.
- the indirection binder missed `private readonly x = 'wsl.exe'` (the
  modifier was captured as the name), backtick literals, and
  `spawnProcess(this.x)`. Commit 2bbbd99 claimed that gap closed; it now is,
  verified against all three shapes.

Credit: Grok.

* fix(child-process): keep the tail of output whose failure lands last

Two console-flash bugs the ratchet was carrying on its allowlist rather than
catching: daemon-process-inspection execs powershell.exe and the gemini
extractor execs `where gemini`, both console-subsystem, both without
windowsHide (#10488). Allowlist 80 -> 78.

And a migration regression: the hook-relay install used to keep a rolling
tail of stderr (`slice(-MAX)`), while runProcess's maxOutputBytes keeps the
head. A guest install that fails after pages of apt warnings therefore
reported the warnings instead of `mv: Read-only file system`. runProcess
takes retainOutput: 'tail' for output whose meaning is at the end.

Credit: code review.

* test(wsl): close the last two indirection shapes in the binder

`this.binary = 'wsl.exe'` has no declarator keyword, and a helper that just
returns the literal is a spawn one hop away that no regex can follow. The
return case fails closed only when the file also spawns something --
local-windows-terminal-runtime.ts returns the name as terminal metadata and
never spawns, so a blanket rule flagged it wrongly.

Verified against both shapes: planted, failed, restored, passed.

Credit: Opus.

* fix(preflight): stop reporting installed WSL CLIs as absent (#9725)

The last two probe sites that turned an unresolvable login PATH into a
confident negative. The native branch of detectInstalledAgents already
consults install dirs for exactly this reason ('PATH may still be unhydrated
on a cold GUI launch'); the WSL branch had no equivalent, so a cold distro
made an nvm-installed claude/codex read as not installed and told the user to
install a CLI their own terminal runs.

Ports that fallback to the guest: agent detection checks the version-manager
bin dirs for commands the PATH lookup missed, and the preflight command runner
APPENDS them to PATH -- append, never prepend, so a resolved login PATH stays
authoritative and a stale nvm version cannot shadow the real binary.

Tested by executing the generated scripts through /bin/sh against planted
binaries, since the behaviour is shell globbing and [ -x ]. Both the
nvm-discovery and the no-shadowing tests were verified to fail when reverted.

* fix(codex-accounts): hide the console on the legacy active-home migration

execFileSync('wsl.exe') with no windowsHide flashes a conhost and steals
foreground on a GUI-launched Orca (#10488). Sibling WSL spawns got this in
earlier commits; this one only had its quoting rewritten. Allowlist 75 -> 74.

Credit: code review.

* fix(windows): close the shell:true hole that made windowsHide a no-op

I un-allowlisted the gemini extractor after adding `windowsHide: true` to an
`exec()` call. `exec` implies `shell: true`, which this repo's own chokepoint
documents as silently making windowsHide a no-op (#14543) -- so the site still
flashed a conhost while reading as guarded. Now execFile('where.exe', …),
matching the relay sibling that already did it right.

The ratchet could not see that, which is why it passed. It now treats a call
that resolves to exec/execSync, or any `shell: true`, as unguarded regardless
of windowsHide -- including through renamed imports and a renamed promisify.

Also: a script over 8000 chars now falls back to stdin. Windows caps a command
line at 32767 and a user's orca.yaml hook is the one unbounded script Orca
runs (`run-both` concatenates two; a vendored installer is ~15KB), so argv
would fail to spawn outright. Degrading beats failing.

And the binder now sees `let p: string` ... `p = 'wsl.exe'`.

Each verified by planting. Credit: Grok.

* test(wsl): an opaque payload must declare its interpreter

My per-call bashism guard REPLACED the file-wide one, and that was a strict
regression: the real payloads are built in a separate function and passed as a
bare `script,`, so the bashism is never inside the call literal and the
per-call arm cannot fire. Deleting `shell: 'bash'` from skill-discovery-wsl
-- `done < <(find ...)` and `read -r -d ''`, the #14292 signature -- passed on
this branch and failed on main.

Reading through the identifier is guesswork. Requiring the call to name its
shell when the payload is not a literal is not, so seven POSIX call sites now
say `shell: 'sh'` -- no behaviour change, sh was already the default.

Two earlier attempts at this were wrong and are worth recording: a whole-file
BASHISM test blamed codex-accounts/service.ts, which correctly pins bash on its
four inline payloads and correctly leaves printf/mkdir unpinned; and excluding
call text still caught a bash payload belonging to a non-runner execFileSync.

Also: runProcessSync now refuses retainOutput:'tail' instead of silently
keeping the head, and the union docblock no longer describes stdin delivery.

Verified against both of the plants that exposed this. Credit: Opus.

* test(wsl): judge an opaque payload by the file, not by whether shell is set

Round 5. My previous rule -- opaque payload must have `shell:` -- was the
third guard fix in a row that came out weaker than what it replaced:
`shell: 'sh'` on a bash payload satisfied it, which is #14292 with extra
steps. Flipping skill-discovery-wsl's pin from bash to sh shipped green.

Now: strip the text of every call that already names bash, and if a bashism
survives anywhere in the file while a script-carrying call is not bash-pinned,
flag it. Stripping the bash-pinned calls is what keeps codex-accounts clean.

Also closes four ways to hide a call from the collector, each verified by
planting:
- `script: \`${bashism}\`` -- a template literal read as a visible literal
- `runWslProcess({ ...spec })` -- a spread hides script AND shell
- `Object.assign({ a }, { script })` -- the collector took the first `{`, so it
  now takes the whole argument list
- `import { runWslProcess as runWsl }` -- a renamed callee collected nothing,
  and zero calls read as zero violations

Not fixed, recorded instead: a computed `shell:` in the console guard. Matching
any non-false value also flags `shell: spawnConfig.shell`, a pass-through that
is false in every branch, and a false positive there costs an allowlist entry
that disables the guard for a whole correct file.

Credit: Grok.

* fix(preflight): make the guest fallback match the native one it claims to mirror

Three defects in the #9725 fix from earlier today, all found by executing the
generated scripts under real dash rather than reading them.

- $HOME containing a space word-split the unquoted dir list into a relative
  path, so every CLI read as absent -- the exact symptom the fix exists to
  remove. Each entry is quoted now; the nvm entry quotes only its prefix so the
  glob still expands.
- A directory passes `[ -x ]`, so ~/.local/bin/gemini/ was reported as an
  installed CLI that then fails to launch with EISDIR. The PATH half of the
  same script already guarded this, and so does the native twin.
- The header called this the "guest-side twin" of the native fallback while
  omitting four of its directories: volta, asdf, fnm and mise. A WSL user on
  any of those still had #9725 while the same user on native did not -- and
  asdf and mise are named in the motivating comment. The claim is now true.

Credit: Opus.

* test(wsl): mask bash-pinned calls by position, not by String.replace

`rest.replace(text, '')` with a string pattern removes only the FIRST match,
so two identically-written pinned calls left one behind and its bashism then
counted against an unrelated unpinned call in the same file. A body that also
occurred earlier as a substring would blank the wrong region entirely.

The collector now returns ranges and the mask is applied by index. Verified
both directions: two identical pinned bodies plus one unpinned call flags, and
the same file with all three pinned stays clean.

* test(wsl): fail closed on call shapes a regex cannot attribute

Round 6. Rather than widen the pattern again, treat the shapes it cannot
reason about as unreadable.

A regex cannot tell which object a key belongs to, so every round produced
another way to put the pin in one place and the payload in another:
`cond ? {pinned} : {unpinned}`, `{...} as WslSpec`, `Object.assign({a},{b})`.
A call whose SPEC is chosen by a ternary or spread -- one appearing before the
first `{` -- or which carries an `as` assertion is now flagged whenever the
file has a bashism, with no `shell: 'bash'` escape, because the substring test
that would grant the escape is exactly what cannot be trusted on these shapes.

A ternary INSIDE the object is not exotic: claude-accounts/service.ts:977 uses
one to choose a script line in a call that is already pinned, and treating that
as opaque would demand a second pin it already has. Nor is a nested call --
`script: `x ${shellQuote(p)}`` is how every payload here is built, and flagging
it would demand bash on POSIX payloads that must not have it.

Also follows `const run = runWslProcess`, generics and optional chaining, and
counts collected calls against mentions so a shape that slips the pattern reads
as unreadable rather than clean.

I tried the TypeScript parser first, which would remove the class outright.
TypeScript 7 is the native port and exposes no JS compiler API; oxc-parser
works but is transitive, and declaring it surfaced an unmet peer warning.
Recorded here so the next person does not repeat the detour.

Credit: Grok.

* fix(wsl): fish is a PATH lookup, and my lint check could not fail

Two things Opus caught that I had verified wrongly.

`wsl-fish-history-cleanup` passes `program: 'fish'` -- a bare name, so a PATH
lookup by definition, the exact class the earlier rounds hunted. I mapped it to
'none' and then defended that in an audit, because I read
`allowDegradedEnvironment: true` as "does not need the login PATH". It does not
mean that: it means "do not fail when the probe fails". The old call still USED
the login PATH whenever it got one, which is 'preferred'. Under 'none' a fish
from linuxbrew or nix is invisible and the cleanup throws. The truncated
comment left behind when the flag was deleted is finished too.

And `pnpm lint` has been failing on this branch while I reported it clean: I
grepped for `error eslint|error oxlint`, but oxlint prints the rule category
(`error typescript(array-type)`, `error unicorn(prefer-ternary)`). The grep
could not match, so it never failed. Checking the exit code instead surfaced a
third violation hidden behind the first two.

Credit: Opus.

* chore(wsl): clear the round-7 P2s

- Formatting: the branch owned 22 of the tree's 26 oxfmt failures because I
  never ran the formatter. Branch files now own none.
- resolveScriptDelivery was computed twice, in two places that must agree
  about argv shape and stdin payload. Resolved once and threaded through.
- The allowlist header said the list only shrinks while the branch added three
  entries. It grew because the scanner learned to follow a variable-bound
  'wsl.exe'; those three were previously recorded in prose, so the count was
  wrong by three in the direction that hides offenders. The header now says so.
- Two test comments still explained behaviour via the deleted
  allowDegradedEnvironment flag; a stray triple blank line; two adjacent JSDoc
  blocks where only the second attached.

Not taken: platform-guarding addWslEnvKeys. WSLENV is inert off Windows, and
the guard broke a test that asserts the key directly -- more surface than the
tidy is worth, so the reason is recorded at the call site instead.

Credit: Opus.

* test(preflight): plant a fabricated CLI name, not a real one

CI caught what my local run could not: the runner has a real /usr/bin/gh, so
`command -v gh` resolved to it and the planted nvm stub was never reached. The
fallback APPENDS, so that is the code behaving correctly -- the test was
asserting a property of my machine.

Both real-shell suites now plant `orca-fake-cli`, which exists nowhere.
Re-verified the same way as before: with the PATH fallback disabled the test
fails, with it restored it passes.

I declared this branch merge-ready without looking at CI. Local green is not
the gate.

* refactor(wsl): delete two knobs and a duplicated fallback

Elegance pass. The branch had grown from a deletion into a net addition, and
most of the growth was optional axes with one caller each.

- `retainOutput` is gone. One production caller wanted the tail of a 64KiB
  buffer; head-truncation only hurt because of that cap. The caller drops the
  cap, keeps the default, and slices the tail itself -- which is what the live
  relay next door already does. Two mechanisms for one job became one.
- `scriptDelivery` is gone. The size rule was already the whole design:
  argv unless the script is too long for a Windows command line. The option
  existed so a small Orca script could opt into stdin, and no such caller ever
  appeared. Both behaviours stay pinned: a huge script still goes to stdin, an
  ordinary one still leaves the hook's stdin free.
- Agent detection no longer walks the fallback dirs itself. It prepends the
  same PATH prelude the preflight command runner uses and lets the ordinary
  lookup do the work. Its bespoke walk had duplicated the lookup script's
  `! -d` guard -- and had missed it once, which is how a directory read as an
  installed CLI.

All 17 detection tests still pass unchanged, including the $HOME-with-a-space,
directory-is-not-a-CLI, and volta/asdf/fnm/mise cases, so the collapse is
behaviour-preserving rather than assumed to be.

* fix(wsl): never name a path-shaped variable in WSLENV

`buildHostEnv` forwarded every caller-supplied key into WSLENV. wsl.exe
translates path-shaped variables between Windows and Linux form, so a caller
passing PATH would have replaced the guest's own PATH with a translated
Windows one -- silently, and fatally for every lookup after it.

No caller passes PATH today. The point of a chokepoint is that it does not
depend on that staying true.

Neil 5651662494 fix(wsl): migrate 21 call sites onto the WSL runner (#15923)
* fix(wsl): migrate 21 call sites onto the runner, after five review rounds

Rebased onto main now that the runner (#15903) has landed.

21 sites across 15 files move off ad-hoc `execFile('wsl.exe', ...)`. Allowlist
23 -> 16 on the WSL guard; 163 -> 152 on the W1 child_process guard, which moved
as a consequence.

Five review rounds, each finding real defects -- several introduced by the
previous round's fixes:

1. Hooks ran user orca.yaml scripts under dash; probe failure fell back to the
   login shell, reintroducing the ~/.profile stall the runner exists to remove.
2. An unparseable probe was cached permanently, disabling every WSL feature on
   the distro; hooks regressed from "runs degraded" to "fails".
3. Exit 127 had no expiry; a starved 5s probe hard-failed the 10s scan behind
   it; a joiner burned its budget on someone else's probe.
4. The comment stripper blanked live code, so the windowsHide guard walked past
   a real unguarded spawn and reported the file clean; an ownership-probe
   timeout silently deselected the user's Claude account.
5. Verification of the guards themselves.

The recurring finding -- a call answering "is this installed?" on a degraded
PATH -- was eventually fixed structurally rather than per-caller: the runner
refuses an unresolved guest PATH unless the caller opts in. Per-site vigilance
was demonstrably not holding; 3 of 8 sites had already forgotten the analogous
exit-code check.

Remaining 16 files need a runner mode that does not exist: a long-lived
streaming child (OAuth logins, hook relay), a synchronous caller, or a
host-level flag like --status that the guest-command API cannot express.

* fix(wsl): close round 5's P1s -- degrade where PATH was never needed

Round 5 measured the guards by re-executing their algorithms standalone rather
than reading them, and found four things.

P1 -- four skill/plugin paths gained a hard dependency on the login-shell probe
that they never had. They ran under a plain non-login `sh -c` on main, so a
probe failure now breaks WSL skill discovery and install on exactly the distro
the runner was built for: one with a slow `~/.profile`. Worse, the throw escapes
before each site's own error mapping, so the UI gets a raw internal string. They
degrade now, per the rule this branch already wrote down in
`wsl-fish-history-cleanup.ts`.

P1 -- Codex and Claude were asymmetric. Claude's five credential sites degrade;
Codex's were strict, so adding a WSL Codex account failed where adding a Claude
one succeeded. Three of the four are byte-equivalent to Claude sites, and their
scripts read `$HOME`/`$WSL_DISTRO_NAME`, which wsl.exe supplies without a login
shell. `assertWslCodexCliAvailable` stays strict on purpose -- that one really
does answer "is this installed?" (#9725).

P1 -- the ownership-probe timeout fix did not survive the rebase onto main. A
timeout still returned "not owned", which the caller *persists*, clearing the
user's account selection.

P1 -- `blankStringContents` desynced on a nested template literal
(`` `${`x`}` ``), leaving 116 lines of a child_process importer outside the
ratchet, with 27 importers structurally at risk. Now tracks template depth.
Regenerating against the fixed blanker: 70 -> 68 offenders.

Also: the windowsHide vacuity check could not fail while the allowlist alone
exceeded its bound -- the exact defect the sibling guard documents avoiding. It
now names a file that definitely offends.

* fix(wsl): close round 6 -- my blanker fix had traded a false positive for a miss

Round 6 re-derived the guard's answer from a TypeScript AST instead of trusting
the regex, and caught two things.

P1 -- the nested-template fix I shipped in round 5 introduced a worse bug than
the one it closed. Switching to "code mode" inside `${...}` without also
resetting the quote at a newline meant an apostrophe in a regex literal --
`` `'${value.replace(/'/g, "'\\''")}'` `` , which is exactly the shellQuote
shape all over this codebase -- inverted the lexer for the rest of the file.
`claude-accounts/service.ts` went blind from line 96, hiding a REAL unguarded
`spawn` at :1097: the WSL Claude managed-login path, which opens a console and
steals foreground on Windows. Round 5 traded one false positive for one false
negative and I did not notice, because the offender count went down.

The blanker now resets non-backtick quotes at a newline (the rule stripComments
already had) and tracks brace depth per interpolation. The spawn is fixed rather
than allowlisted, and the count is 69 -- the number the AST predicted.

P1 -- the ownership-timeout guard was dead code: it threw into its own `catch`
three lines below, which returned null, which the caller persists as "not owned"
and clears the user's account selection. Now a typed sentinel the catch rethrows.

P2 -- `WslGuestEnvironmentUnavailableError` reached the UI verbatim from the CLI
installer and the Codex availability check. Both mapped.

Method note: I had been regenerating the allowlist with a Python transcription
of the scanner, and the two drifted -- the same two-implementations problem this
workstream keeps finding. The allowlist is now generated by running the shipped
test with an empty list and taking what it reports.

* fix(guards): stop patching the lexer -- make the scanner fail closed instead

Round 7 proved my round-6 fix also did not work, by planting a plainly-named
unguarded `spawn` in `claude-accounts/service.ts` and watching the guard pass
3/3. That is three consecutive attempts at an exact lexer, each shipping a
desync that hid real calls, and each time the offender count went DOWN, which I
read as progress. Round 6's diagnosis was wrong too: the culprit is the
`templates` brace-depth stack, which nothing resets, not quote state.

So stop trying to be exact. `blankStringContentsDesynced` reports when the lexer
lost its bearings, and the guard treats that as an offender. Over-reporting is a
nuisance; under-reporting is a false clean, and a false clean is what let a real
console-flash spawn out of the ratchet twice. The allowlist goes 69 -> 82: the
13 extra are files whose scan cannot be trusted, now named rather than assumed
fine.

The planted violation is now caught.

Also from round 7:
- `SPAWN_CALL` missed promisified and renamed bindings, so `exec('where gemini')`
  (a real Windows cmd.exe spawn) and a detached `shell: true` in
  `cli/runtime/launch.ts` were invisible. Added execAsync/execFileAsync/
  execFileCb/spawnDetached.
- `BASHISM` matched `set -o pipefail` but not `set -euo pipefail`, which is the
  only spelling this tree uses -- so the check could not have caught the #14292
  signature it exists for. Fixed, and it immediately flagged a file; that one
  turned out to be a comment, so the bashism scan now strips comments too.
- The CLI installer error mapping my round-6 commit claimed was "both mapped"
  was never applied -- only the Codex side had been. Now actually mapped.

* fix(guards): close the four holes round 8 found by planting violations

Round 8 stopped reasoning about the guard and planted spawns into it. Four
holes, none of which reading had found:

- `windowsHide: false` **passed**. The check was `args.includes('windowsHide')`,
  a substring test. Now matches `windowsHide: true`.
- A ternary first argument was silently skipped: the method-declaration filter
  `/^\(\s*\w+\s*[:?]/` also matches `exec(useAlt ? 'a' : 'b', …)`. Now requires
  a type after the colon.
- Renamed bindings were not covered, despite the comment I wrote saying they
  were -- I had hardcoded three names. Aliases are now resolved from the import.

Each is verified closed by planting it and watching the guard fail.

`fork` is deliberately still unscanned. Round 8 is right that Node forwards the
option, but `ForkOptions` does not declare it, so the two live sites cannot be
fixed without a cast. Recorded in the verification doc rather than left as a
silent gap, along with two others worth knowing: the allowlist is file-granular,
so its ~18 false-positive entries carry a standing pre-approval for real
regressions in those files and cannot be retired by fixing code; and
`stripComments` has no desync report, so the fail-closed check is only half
applied.

The doc now also says how to verify a guard change: plant a violation. Every
guard fix here that was verified by reading was wrong.

* fix(wsl): stop preflight reporting installed CLIs as absent on a slow distro

Round 9's merge blocker, and the sharpest finding of the whole workstream: the
branch built to close #9725 had reopened it from the other side.

`preflight-wsl-command.ts` was one of five sites without
`allowDegradedEnvironment`, so a guest-PATH probe failure threw. Every consumer
collapses a throw into a verdict: `isCommandAvailable` and `isCommandOnPath`
catch to `false` ("not installed"), `isGhAuthenticated` and `isGlabAuthenticated`
read an empty payload as "not authenticated". So a slow distro made WSL git, gh
and glab read as missing.

Two things made it likely rather than theoretical. The probe took two thirds of
a 5s budget, leaving the command ~1667ms where main gave it the full 5s inside
its own login shell -- a cold WSL VM start routinely lands in that band. And a
probe timeout is cached for 30s with a re-probe threshold of 1.5x the failed
budget, which a 5s caller can never clear, so every preflight command
short-circuited without spawning wsl.exe at all -- and Re-check does not
invalidate the cache.

Fixes: preflight degrades instead of refusing, and the probe is capped at half
the caller's budget and at 4s, so no caller ends up with less time than it had
before the runner existed.

Also fixes a real console flash found on the way: `preflight-command-exec.ts`
spawns git/gh/node through `promisify(execFile)` with no `windowsHide`.

Round 9 also confirmed the credential paths are now *safer* than main: all 11
account sites degrade, every destructive guest operation is still marker-gated,
and main's `getOwnedManagedAuthPath` could disown an account on a 5s timeout --
which this branch turns into a failed launch instead of a destroyed selection.

* fix(wsl): make "Try again" able to succeed, and test the round-9 fix

Round 10 returned MERGE with one residual worth closing first.

A transient probe failure left the null-resolving promise in `inFlight`, so the
only way back was `retryAfter` -- and the 4s probe cap made the 1.5x budget
escape unreachable, because no caller can pass more than 4s. For the full 30s
window the four non-degrading sites returned their error *without spawning
wsl.exe at all*, and each of those errors says "Try again". The advice was
guaranteed to fail.

The entry is now dropped on a transient outcome and an explicit cooldown gate
replaces it, so the window alone decides. The window drops 30s -> 5s: long
enough to stop a stampede, short enough that the user's next click reaches a
distro that has since warmed up.

Round 10 also noted the round-9 fix shipped untested, which was fair. Added: the
probe-budget floor for 5s/8s/10s callers, and preflight's degrade opt-in plus
its stdout/stderr-carrying rejection, which isGhAuthenticated reads off the
caught error as an auth-success fallback.

* test(wsl): make the probe-budget guard actually guard

Round 11 caught that the regression test I added for the probe cap did not
bind: it seeded the guest environment, so the probe resolved in ~0ms and the
assertion read the command leg's timeout instead. Reverting the cap to the old
2/3 split left all three cases green.

Dropping the seed and asserting on the probe leg fixes it -- verified by
reverting the cap and watching all three fail.

A regression guard that cannot fail is the shape that has cost the most in this
workstream: the windowsHide guard silently passed a real unguarded spawn twice
for the same reason.

Neil a61b39a9a6 fix(runtime): stamp a runtime's own project setups as local, and report remote status about the remote (STA-4792) (#15376)
* fix(runtime): stamp a runtime's own project setups as local, and report remote status about the remote (STA-4792)

Two independent frame-of-reference bugs, both from code describing one machine
while labelled as another.

#15366 — projectHostSetup.* persisted the caller's host id verbatim. Those
`runtime:<environment-id>` ids are minted by the calling client's own pairing
store, so they name a machine only relative to that client. A client sending
one is addressing this runtime, and runtimes do not proxy these calls onward,
so the host it names is us. Storing the client's spelling made one machine look
like a different host to every other client, hid its rows from them, and
defeated the (projectId, hostId) duplicate check — two laptops paired to one
server each created their own setup for the same checkout. Re-spell it as
`local` at the RPC boundary. Rows written earlier keep their old stamp; readers
already project `local` back to `runtime:<their-id>`, so the client-visible
model is unchanged and no ids are rewritten.

STA-4792 defect 4 — `status --environment <name>` hardcoded app.running:false
to mean "no desktop on THIS machine" while every other field in the same object
described the target, including a desktopWindowStatus echoed straight from it.
The result contradicted itself and read as "that run was headless" when the
remote GUI was up. `app` now describes the target, keyed off the one window
status that requires a live renderer, and the result names its own subject so
the frame can't be misread again. The remote pid is not knowable, so it stays
null.

STA-4792 defect 2 gets a regression test rather than a fix: routing already
made the client remote, which is what stops a Windows destination being joined
to the local cwd. The test pins the exact reported invocation.

* fix(status): share the remote app projection with the SSH host passthrough, and name the version gap on project host setup

Two review follow-ups.

The SSH host passthrough answered `app.running: true` unconditionally for the
Orca host a caller reached over SSH, claiming a desktop app even for a headless
`serve`. That is the same defect as the paired-server path, one transport over,
so the projection moved to shared and both now answer the question the same way.

`--host runtime:<id>` routes project commands to a paired server, which means a
client can reach a server that predates project host setup without meaning to.
That answered a raw `method_not_found`, which reads as an Orca bug rather than a
version gap; the CLI now names it the way the desktop already does.

Reverted a third change: making the persistence duplicate check treat `local`
and `runtime:*` as one machine. That assumption holds at the RPC boundary, where
a `runtime:` host means the runtime being addressed, but not in the store, which
also records independent provisioning metadata for machines that are not itself.
An existing test covers exactly that, and it was right. The duplicate
convergence therefore stays bounded to rows written after the normalization.

Brennan Benson ddaaa4628c fix(codex): keep two host-lane records that a failed read used to destroy (STA-4735) (#15289)
`snapshotCodexRuntimeHookTrustProvenance` rebuilt `.orca-hook-trust-provenance.json`
from the current `config.toml` on every install and refresh, including when the
existing record could not be read. That record is the only thing separating a
trust entry Orca wrote from one the user approved inside Codex, so rewriting it
after a failed read stamps the approval as Orca-written — and
`promoteCodexRuntimeHookApprovalsToSystem`, which runs earlier in the same pass
and had already bailed on the same unreadable file, then skips it on every
later pass too. One denied read, permanent loss.

Only the unreadable case is preserved. A malformed or absent record is still
rebuilt, because resetting those IS the intent; conflating the two would wedge a
user on a corrupt file forever.

`fileContentsEqual` returned `false` from a bare `catch`, so "I could not read
this" reached `writeRuntimeAuth` as "these differ" and sent it to the
unconditional write below — replacing a refresh token Codex may have rotated a
moment earlier with Orca's stale copy. It now reports the difference only when
the bytes were actually compared, and the caller refuses instead.

`fileContentsMatchExpected`'s `!existsSync` has the same collapse but is left
alone deliberately: the write it guards is `writeFileAtomicallyIfUnchanged`,
whose rename-and-compare re-checks the real file and refuses on its own, so
classifying there would add a guard no test can drive. Noted in a comment.

The three `writeRuntimeAuthAtPath` call sites have the same overwrite shape but
are all on the WSL lane, which STA-4606 restructures; refusing there without its
lane bookkeeping would set a baseline for a write that never happened.

Brennan Benson 0b80a773a4 fix(codex): stop overwriting and deleting Codex files that were merely unreadable (STA-4737) (#15287)
* fix(codex): stop overwriting and deleting Codex files that were merely unreadable (STA-4737)

Three modules shared by the host and WSL Codex lanes decided a file was absent
from a read that had only failed, and then wrote over it or removed it.

- `codex-config-mirror`: `existsSync` on the RUNTIME config.toml returned false
  for a locked file exactly as for an absent one, so the mirror took the
  "seed a fresh runtime config" branch and replaced the user's config wholesale.
- `config-settings-promotion`: an unreadable ~/.codex/config.toml counted as
  having no promoted settings, and the write path then rebuilt the user's
  canonical Codex config from Orca's runtime copy.
- `codex-home-paths`: both delete branches in `linkSystemCodexResource` remove
  Orca's mirrored copy because the system resource "is not there". `existsSync`
  and `systemResourceIsRegularFile`'s `catch { return false }` both reported
  that for a source nobody could read, so one denied read on ~/.codex/AGENTS.md
  removed the managed copy on the next launch.

`src/shared/definitive-filesystem-absence.ts` now owns the one errno allowlist —
ENOENT and ENOTDIR, with every other code including unrecognised ones treated as
indeterminate — and `host-codex-managed-home-ownership.ts` drops its private
copy rather than letting the two drift. `codex-path-observation.ts` builds the
three-valued observation on top of it.

The resource sync's two `existsSync`/`statSync` probes collapse into one
resolved stat, which answers reachability and regular-file-ness together and
closes the window between them.

`config-settings-promotion.ts` crossed its max-lines budget, so the write-target
resolution moves to its own module rather than taking a lint exemption.

Deliberately not here: the hook-service trust writes that run after a refused
mirror, and the promotion write target's own classification, which is
unreachable because it always resolves to the same file the read above already
refused. Both are noted in comments rather than half-built.

OrcaWinandOrcaWin 3a9f40ed70 fix(wsl): read machine output from a fenced login shell (#15290)
* fix(wsl): read machine output from a fenced login shell

Orca runs WSL reads through the distro's *interactive* login shell so
PATH matches the user's own terminal (nvm, mise and asdf only install
into rc files interactive shells read). An interactive shell also runs
the distro's rc/motd, and stock Ubuntu 24.04 writes its "run a command
as administrator" hint to stdout -- no user customization required.

Every caller parsing that stream was reading the banner as data:

  statPath  -> "To run a command as administrator...\n\ndirectory"
  readPath  -> banner prepended to the contents of every file read
  preflight -> banner prepended to `gh --version` / auth output

`.trim()` cannot recover any of these, so a WSL worktree's file
explorer sees no valid entry types and file reads return junk.

Three call sites had independently grown their own marker to survive
this (`__ORCA_AGENT_PATH__`, `ORCA_WSL_GIT_READ_ENV_V1`, and a
`>/dev/null` fd dance), which is the tell that it belongs in one place.

Fence the payload once, in the shared builder, and hand callers a
reader that returns just their bytes. The fence carries a per-call
nonce so `cat`-ing a file that happens to quote a marker is not
truncated. Exit status is preserved, so the ENOENT mapping still works.

wsl-git-read-environment drops its bespoke marker and parsing.

* test(wsl): fence the login-shell path-lookup boundary test

It asserted a raw interactive login-shell read matched an absolute path,
so the distro rc banner made it fail on any stock Ubuntu. It is part of
the shell-contracts CI gate, where it skips on Linux and hid the break.

* docs(wsl): record the guest command-execution contract

Both failure modes are silent - the command runs, exits 0, and returns
the wrong bytes - so the rules need to live somewhere a reader will
find them before writing the next wsl.exe call site.

* fix(codex): fence the WSL Codex identity probe

buildWslCodexBinaryStamp reads the login shell's stdout positionally --
path before the first newline, version after -- through an interactive
login shell. On a stock Ubuntu the rc banner lands ahead of the payload,
so the first newline falls inside the banner and the stamp becomes
path="To run a command as administrator..." with the rest as version.
Both halves are non-empty, so nothing throws: the stamp is silently
wrong, and an unstable stamp reads as "the Codex binary changed" and
reissues the trust grant.

The identity script ends in `exec`, so it never writes a closing fence;
the reader returns everything after the opening one, which is exactly
this case.

buildWslCodexIdentityArgs becomes buildWslCodexIdentityProbe and returns
the reader with the argv so the two cannot drift apart. The other three
WSL Codex commands are deliberately left unfenced: availability is
exit-code only, and app-server/login hand stdout to a long-running
program.

* fix(wsl): harden the capture fence after review

- readStdout now takes the LAST opening fence, matching the lastIndexOf
  the wsl-git-read-environment marker used deliberately: a login shell
  can echo the command text before running it, repeating the fence.
- local-worktree-filesystem throws instead of falling back to raw stdout
  when the fence is missing. The fallback silently reinstated the bug
  being fixed -- statPath would return the banner as a file type and
  readPath would return banner+contents, with no signal. Preflight keeps
  its fallback; its matchers scan the whole blob and tolerate a prefix.
- The exit-status test asserted only that the script CONTAINS `exit $?`,
  which is true for any input and never executed those lines. It now
  runs a real distro and asserts status 2 reaches the caller, which is
  what statPath's ENOENT mapping depends on.
- Corrected the doc: a sed backreference has no `$`, so `--` never
  rewrote it. Replaced with the positional and shell-local cases that
  were measured to differ.

* fix(wsl): stop running a login shell for filesystem reads

statPath/readPath/rm run coreutils at standard paths and shell builtins.
They need nothing from the user's PATH, so there was never a reason to
start a login shell -- and starting one is what put the distro's rc/motd
on the stdout these callers parse.

Fencing that output treated the symptom. Using a plain `sh -c` removes
the cause: no profile, no rc, no banner, by construction. The fence and
its missing-fence error go away with it.

The fence stays where it is actually needed: the three places that must
run the user's shell to resolve their PATH (the preflight CLI probe, the
WSL git environment probe, and the Codex identity probe).

Net -12 lines.

OrcaWinandOrcaWin 6e8da1df8d fix(wsl): pass guest argv verbatim through --exec (#15039)
* fix(wsl): pass guest argv verbatim through --exec

`wsl.exe <...> -- <argv>` expands `$name` in every argument against the
guest environment before the guest ever runs. It does this even when no
shell is involved, so `-- /usr/bin/printf %s '$HOME'` prints /home/you.

Every WSL invocation went through that preprocessor, so scripts arrived
already rewritten: `awk '{print $2}'` lost its field reference, and a
POSIX script asking for the literal `$HOME` got the expanded path.

`escapeWslShCommandForWindows` tried to compensate by escaping `$`, but
it skipped any `$` preceded by a backslash, so a script containing `\$`
was still corrupted -- and half the call sites never applied it at all.

Route every invocation through `--exec`, which passes argv through
untouched, and delete the escaper. The direct-git path already used
`--exec`, so this is not a new compatibility dependency.

A guard test fails if the `--` form reappears anywhere in the tree.

Net -50 lines of production code.

* test(wsl): drop remaining escaped-dollar assertions

* fix(wsl): cover the --exec migration's blind spots

An audit of every wsl.exe invocation found sites the first pass missed,
including two it actively broke:

- config/scripts/wsl-git-shell-benchmark.mjs imported
  escapeWslShCommandForWindows, which no longer exists, so the script
  threw on startup. Its wslShellArgs helper also still used `--`; the
  file already had an --exec helper, so route both call sites there.
- classifySubprocessCommand unwrapped `wsl.exe <...> -- <binary>` by
  breaking on `--` alone. With every Orca spawn now on --exec it never
  found the guest binary and bucketed all WSL subprocesses as plain
  "wsl", losing the git/gh/glab breakdown. Break on either separator,
  since foreign wsl.exe processes still use `--`.

CliSkillRuntimeSetup builds its setup command as a template literal
rather than an argv array, so no array-shaped search could see it. Its
decoder accepts both separators so commands persisted before this
change still decode.

The guard now scans config/ and tests/ as well as src/, and checks the
command-string spelling alongside the argv one — the two shapes that
have each shipped a regression. It skips comment lines so prose about
the old form stays allowed, and asserts it scanned a plausible file
count so a bad root cannot make it vacuous.

* fix(wsl): restore the guard's multi-line sensitivity

The guard matched line by line, so `'--',\s*'bash'` could not span a
newline -- and every argv array in this repo is formatted one element
per line, which is exactly the shape it exists to catch. Measured
against the pre-migration tree it caught 17 files before and 9 fewer
after. It now strips comment lines and matches the rejoined text, with
a case that pins the multi-line shape so this cannot silently return.

The program list is wider than shells now, which surfaced a false
positive: tmux takes a `--` separator followed by a program too
(`split-window ... -- cat`). Matching is scoped to files that mention
WSL rather than narrowing the list back.

Also:
- Replaced the `sed` regression case, which was vacuous. A backreference
  contains no `$`, so it returned `bac` under both separators and would
  have passed without the fix. The block claimed every case proved the
  bug. Swapped in a positional argument and a shell local, both measured
  to differ -- the positional is the shape `wslUncDirectoryExists` uses,
  where `--` blanked `$1` so every existing directory probed as missing.
- windows-shell-args.test.ts derived its expected argv from
  buildWslExecArgs, the helper under test, so six assertions would still
  pass if it regressed to `--`. Spelled the expectation out.
- Dropped two comments citing the removed `--` behavior as rationale.

Brennan Benson 5652fb7469 fix(codex): stop resuming a session under the wrong account when a sessions tree is locked (#15093)
* fix(codex): stop resuming a session under the wrong account when a sessions tree is locked

Two probes reported "this rollout is not bridged here" for any filesystem error,
not just a genuine absence:

- codex-session-resume-home.ts used existsSync on each ranked home's sessions
  directory. existsSync returns false on EBUSY/EPERM, so a briefly locked tree
  made the scan continue to the next ranked home — and the winning home becomes
  the resumed pane's CODEX_HOME, so it picks the account.
- codex-legacy-session-resume.ts caught every lstat failure for the selected
  account's candidate rollout and returned null, after which the caller kept the
  source per-account home.

Either way the session resumed under a different account's credentials while the
UI still showed the selected one.

Only a definitive ENOENT/ENOTDIR now means "not bridged here". Any other error
raises the typed temporary-unavailability refusal the ownership gate already
uses, which both PTY paths convert into a clean abort before spawn.

The refusal is scoped to the SELECTED account's home. An unreadable home that is
not the selected account cannot cause a wrong-account resume, so it is still
skipped rather than stranding the user.

These are pre-existing and independent of the STA-4422 ownership-marker failure:
they route to another account today with the gate uninvolved.

Fixes STA-4607

* fix(codex): refuse a resume when the selected sessions tree is locked mid-listing

Review found the first pass incomplete in two places, both the same category
error one layer further down.

The preliminary statSync on the selected sessions root was guarded, but the real
directory read happens later and listCodexSessionRolloutFilesIncrementally
swallows every opendir error. A lock held during enumeration — where nearly all
the I/O is, and so the far more likely case — still yielded nothing for the
selected account and fell through to another one. The listing now reports
directory errors through its existing onDirectoryError hook, and a
non-definitive error anywhere under the selected sessions root raises the typed
refusal. Non-selected homes and definitive absence still skip.

Separately, index.ts wrapped prepareLegacySharedCodexSessionResume in a blanket
catch and fell back to the source home, so the typed refusal from the candidate
lstat was swallowed and the resume still ran under the peer account's
credentials. That catch now rethrows ManagedCodexHomeTemporarilyUnavailableError
while ordinary migration failures keep warning and falling back, since a genuine
migration failure legitimately should not block a resume.

A typed refusal is only as strong as the narrowest catch between the throw and
the spawn. The frames between both throw sites and the PTY spawn were audited:
findTrustedCodexSessionResume, resolveCodexSessionResumeProvenance and
prepareCodexSessionResume have no catches, and the PTY layer already maps the
typed error before spawn.

Both fixes are mutation-checked. Disabling the listing hook makes the resume
resolve to the other account again; the index.ts rethrow is covered only by
typecheck, because src/main/index.ts has no unit-test entry point in this repo.

* test(codex): pin nested-directory lock coverage; document the resume repin contract

Review flagged the listing guard as matching only the exact sessions root, so a
nested dated directory would leak. It does not — the guard keys on the root being
listed, not the failing directory — but nothing pinned that. Added a test that
faults only sessions/2026/07/20 while the root stats fine; it fails under
mutation alongside the root case.

Also documented why the index.ts rethrow cannot fire today. That launch path pins
CODEX_HOME to the account that owns the rollout and deliberately refuses to repin
onto whichever account is selected now (#10793), so it does not wire the
selected-home resolver. The branch stays as a contract guard so the blanket catch
below can never silently swallow a typed refusal if that changes.

Brennan Benson 7ae6aedc02 fix(codex): stop a transient filesystem error from logging out the active account (#15046)
* fix(codex): stop a transient filesystem error from logging out the active account

A single unreadable read of a managed Codex home's ownership marker cleared the
user's active account selection, permanently. On Windows any exclusive lock —
Defender real-time scanning, a backup agent, a sync client — makes every read of
that marker fail with EBUSY, and the background rate-limit poll runs every 15
minutes plus once at every app start.

Root cause: the ownership gate answered two very different questions through one
channel. "This home is not ours" (a successful observation that failed a trust
check) and "we could not read it" both surfaced as a throw, which the caller
flattened to null, which three call sites took as proof the home was
untrustworthy and wrote activeCodexManagedAccountId: null.

Refusing to USE an unverified home is correct. Erasing the user's account
selection because a file was briefly locked is not.

The gate now returns a tri-state verdict. `untrusted` comes only from a proven
trust failure or a definitive ENOENT/ENOTDIR where absence is itself the
verdict; every other filesystem exception is `indeterminate`. Only `untrusted`
may touch persisted state.

Because `null` already meant "fall through to the system default" on both the
launch and poll paths, not-clearing on its own would have run a DIFFERENT
account behind a UI still showing the selected one. So the refusal needed real
channels rather than a sentinel:

- the poll returns an explicit skip; returning null would not have skipped at
  all, since the fetcher maps null to ~/.codex and would have spawned a
  token-refreshing app-server inside the user's real credential home
- pane launch throws a typed temporary-unavailability error that both PTY
  implementations convert into a clean refusal with a retry message, including
  the re-resolution after the async auth-readiness wait
- automatic session resume resolves the selected home eagerly, so an unreadable
  account can no longer be silently replaced by another one in the ranking
- config-sync status reports a distinct managed-home-unavailable stall instead
  of "synced", with a bounded renderer retry so it clears on its own

Also fixes the ticket's second symptom. The status bar's Sign in button called a
re-auth that captured the selection before login and restored it after, so
re-authenticating a deselected account restored `null` — a successful login that
left the account inactive, with no success toast to distinguish it from failure.
It now activates the account it just signed in, but only when the pre-login
selection was empty, so it cannot silently switch accounts for multi-account
users, and it runs the same restart prompt an explicit switch does.

No retry or grace window inside the synchronous gate: it runs on the Electron
main process in a loop over accounts, so a sleep there would freeze the UI.
Recovery is simply the next readable evaluation.

The WSL lane has the same class of defect, including one path that deletes a
credential mirror. It is pre-existing, unreachable from these host code paths,
and deliberately left for its own change; the host clearing sites cannot reach a
WSL account because getSelfContainedManagedHostAccount excludes them.

OrcaWinandOrcaWin 02ba70a847 fix(agent-hooks): make the Windows managed hook survive Claude-hooks-compat consumers (#14825)
* fix(agent-hooks): make the Windows managed hook survive Claude-hooks-compat consumers

`~/.claude/settings.json` is not read only by Claude Code. Third-party
Claude-hooks-compat layers (cursor-agent, Devin) import the same file and
reimplement hook execution, so Orca's entry has to survive consumers that
support strictly less than the documented schema. Three separate defects
came from assuming otherwise.

1. The entry depended on `args`, which a compat consumer ignores.
   `args` is valid Claude Code syntax, but cursor-agent spawns `command`
   alone -- so `conhost.exe` ran bare, which opens an interactive console
   that never closes. Hook payloads were typed into those stranded shells
   (#14815). The entry is now one self-contained `command` string that
   depends on nothing optional.

2. `conhost.exe --headless` never relayed anything. It implements the
   ConPTY server protocol, not a generic no-window wrapper: it does not
   wait for the hosted process and relays neither exit code nor stdout.
   Measured directly -- `conhost --headless cmd /c "echo X& exit /b 42"`
   yields empty stdout and no exit code, while the replacement returns
   both and waits. So every hook was fire-and-forget, and whatever it
   printed was discarded. Replaced with `-WindowStyle Hidden`, which
   suppresses the window and keeps wait/exit-code/stdout intact.

3. The hook never wrote anything to stdout. Guards exited silently and
   curl's output went to nul. Claude Code documents empty stdout as "no
   decision", but cursor-agent treats PreToolUse as a permission gate,
   fails to parse empty stdout as JSON, and blocks the tool call -- so
   every shell command in every cursor-agent session on Windows failed
   (#14818). The script now writes `{}` first, on both the Windows and
   POSIX branches, which is documented to be identical to writing nothing
   for real Claude Code. Gemini and Antigravity already did this.

Defects 2 and 3 are causally linked: `{}` cannot reach any consumer while
conhost is swallowing stdout, so neither fix works without the other.

Also fixed while establishing the contract:

- The launcher's own missing-script fallback returned empty stdout,
  reproducing #14818 whenever `~/.orca` was cleaned or an install was
  half-finished. It now emits `{}` too.
- PowerShell serializes progress records to stderr as CLIXML when stderr
  is redirected; a consumer merging stderr into stdout would see those
  bytes before the JSON. Every encoded payload now silences progress.
- `runtime-home-hook-command.ts` built its own launcher without window
  suppression -- exactly the drift #14815 asks to prevent. All launcher
  construction now goes through `windows-powershell-hook-launcher.ts`, so
  the switch list cannot be present in one installer and missing in
  another.
- Renamed `usesWindowsHeadlessHook` to `usesWindowsPowerShellLauncher`;
  nothing is headless anymore, and the flag selects a launcher.

Testing: the new regression test asserts the effect a consumer observes
-- it runs the exact `command` string from settings.json through both
cmd.exe and Git Bash, across the guard-exit, reached-curl, and
missing-script paths, and parses stdout. Verified it fails when
`conhost --headless` is reintroduced. The previous tests all asserted
installer intent, which is why they passed through all three defects.

Neil 9367169888 refactor(tests): split every oversized test file off the max-lines suppression list (#14728)
* refactor(tests): split oversized test files off the max-lines suppression list

Every `*.test.ts`/`*.spec.ts` that carried an `eslint/oxlint-disable max-lines`
directive is now split into focused, behavior-scoped suites that fit the 800-line
test budget, with shared setup extracted into co-located `*-test-harness.ts` /
`*-test-fixtures.ts` modules (300-line budget). 83 files became ~930; the largest
output is 797 effective lines. `orca-runtime.test.ts` is intentionally untouched.

Test bodies were moved by scripted line-range slicing rather than retyped, so
assertions are byte-identical. The only permitted body edits were mechanical
rebinding where a shared value moved into a harness (e.g. `tmpHome` ->
`homes.tmpHome`).

Registries that enumerate test files were updated in lockstep:
- config/max-lines-baseline.txt: pruned 341 -> 258 entries (all 83 removed).
- config/reliability-gates.jsonc: 33 gates repointed at the split files, with
  assertionRefs split per file where a gate's coverage now spans several.
- .github/workflows/pr.yml: the real-zsh lane now lists the 4 split files that
  actually exercise zsh, so they keep running in the dedicated shell lane.

Also renamed agent-hooks `server-test-fixtures.ts` to `server.test-fixtures.ts`
so the global-fetch call-site audit keeps skipping it, and added `.js` extensions
to the CLI suites' dynamic harness imports (node16 resolution) to unbreak
`build:cli`.

Verification: full suite 52,449 passing vs 52,448 at baseline with zero
assertions lost; `pnpm lint`, `pnpm typecheck`, and `pnpm build:cli` all exit 0;
the terminal-pane e2e spec runs 31/31 headless.

* refactor(tests): split hook-idle arbitration suite that oxfmt pushed over budget

The pre-commit oxfmt pass reflowed pty-connection-hook-idle-arbitration.test.ts
to 811 effective lines, 11 over the test budget. Split the hook-completion side
effect and replacement-agent veto cases into their own suite; both files now sit
well under the cap and the 15 tests are unchanged.

* test: port upstream test changes into the split files after rebase

Rebasing onto main surfaced 27 tests that main had added to files this branch
deleted, plus edits to tests that had already moved. Taking the deletion side of
those modify/delete conflicts would have dropped that coverage silently, so each
upstream change is ported into the split file that now owns the behavior — for
example main's six orchestration mailbox tests land across orchestration-runs,
-send, and -check.

Also repoints `orchestration.notification-mailbox-consistency`, a gate main added
after this branch's gate remap, at those same three split files, and re-prunes
the max-lines baseline against main's (257 entries).

Verified: all 27 upstream test titles present; full suite 52,761 passing with the
only diff vs baseline being 12 tests main itself removed and 3 that moved from
skipped to passing; lint and typecheck exit 0.

* fix(test): flush pending continuations before tearing down terminal test globals

CI shard 5/16 failed on both Node 24 and 26 with `ReferenceError: window is not
defined` from pty-connection.ts, surfacing through
pty-connection-daemon-snapshot-replay.test.ts.

The reattach/settle chains `await` a real promise and then touch `window.api`.
Under fake timers those continuations cannot run, so they only become schedulable
once restoreTerminalTestGlobals() switches back to real timers — which previously
happened immediately before `delete globalThis.window`, so a late continuation
threw and failed the whole file. Flush async ticks in that window instead.

This is latent in the source rather than new: the pre-split 25k-line file kept
running other tests after these, which gave the chains time to settle before
teardown. Splitting the file moved teardown directly behind them.

* fix(test): keep an inert window after terminal test teardown instead of deleting it

The async-tick flush was not enough: the reattach/settle chain can resolve after
teardown regardless of how long we drain, so CI shard 5/16 still failed with
`ReferenceError: window is not defined` from pty-connection.ts.

A real renderer never loses `window`, so deleting it was the artificial part.
Swap in an inert proxy whose properties resolve to callables and whose calls
resolve to undefined, making a late `window.api.pty.*` call a harmless no-op.
The next test replaces it wholesale via installTerminalTestGlobals(), and no test
asserts that `window` is absent.

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.

NeilandOrca 5ea7df1a5b fix(terminal): make DECSET 2031 subscriptions silent (#13904)
fish arms `CSI ?2031h` before painting each prompt and withdraws it when it
hands the tty to a child — a ~1ms window. Orca answered that subscribe with
`CSI ?997;Nn` across a 1-3ms renderer hop, so the reply landed after the
withdrawal and was read as stdin by the next child, corrupting `brew`/`npx`
`[y/N]` prompts.

The reply is not stale by Orca's own view when written (measured
staleReplies: 0), so no suppress-the-stale-reply scheme can close this — the
information needed to suppress does not exist yet. Nothing asked for the reply
either. The Contour spec says a terminal "should only send out the DSR when the
palette has been updated"; Ghostty (Termio.zig:729 — force=true reachable only
from the ?996n DSR), iTerm2 (VT100Terminal.m:995 — flag only) and xterm.js
(InputHandler.ts:2035 — flag only) all emit nothing on the DECSET. So stop
entering the race: record the subscription, answer nothing.

Of 17 real programs measured under a pty, only fish, tmux, claude and opencode
subscribe; none block on a reply, and answering produces one redundant palette
re-query and zero rendering difference. tmux is the only one that sends `?996n`,
which Orca still answers.

- Subscribes are record-only at all four emitters (live scan, hidden-gate fact,
  parked byte watcher, parked responder — the last is deleted, it only replied).
- `?996n` answers, the subscription registry, and the theme-flip push are
  unchanged. `paneLastThemeMode` is still seeded at subscribe so the next
  appearance re-apply is not read as a flip.
- Replay grammar carries `?2031l` alongside `?2031h`, so a late-attaching remote
  client no longer registers a subscription the TUI already retired.

Also closes fish-integration gaps found alongside: `unset` (which fish lacks)
becomes `set -e` on paths parsed by the client's login shell, `config.fish` is
parsed for agent-home detection, and bracketed-paste startup delivery is made
consistent across local/daemon/relay.

Regression test drives real fish 4.7.1 under node-pty and asserts on what the
child process reads; it fails against pre-fix code with the exact payload from
the issue. CI installs fish 4 and fails loudly rather than skipping.

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
- text-encoding-identifier-case: ~5% slower, reproducible
- prefer-spread: [...str] is 110% slower than split('') and differs on surrogates
- no-implicit-coercion: `!!x` narrows types and `Boolean(x)` does not (22 tsc errors)
- prefer-arrow-callback: arrows are not constructible, breaking `new` on mocks
- object-shorthand: rewrites source text asserted by a tracked reliability gate
- switch-case-braces: pushes ten files past max-lines, which cannot be suppressed
- no-useless-switch-case: drops `case undefined:` that switch-exhaustiveness-check needs
- arrow-body-style: 115 violations have no fix, and it breaks max-lines
- newline-after-import: false-positives on the leading-semicolon ASI idiom

electron-vite-output-contract asserted on the literal
Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call text; retarget it to Object.hasOwn, which
rejects inherited keys identically.
