Brennan BensonandClaude 85067494a1 fix(native-chat): a request that failed reads as failed (#22944)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

No client ever called agentSession.requestHandoff or mounted the handoff
chrome. Delete the handoff coordinator, the terminal-owner runtime, the
proof write path and the unmounted UI. Keep agentSession.handoffStatus,
which released desktop clients read for worktree activation, and let
records an older build left mid handoff reconcile through the ordinary
restart and recovery paths.

* fix(native-chat): never let the pre-stop snapshot hold a chat's stop

Eviction now drains delivered events before quit's resume-offer snapshot. An
unbounded wait there sits ahead of the provider stop, so a sink whose journal
write stalls kept the child running until the step deadline aborted the
eviction. The offer is advisory: bound the drain and stop the child regardless.

* refactor(native-chat): drop helpers only the terminal handoff called

`claudeAuthEnvCarriedForward`, `isPathWithinDirectory` and
`queryWindowsProcessRowsFresh` lost their last caller with the handoff. The
fresh-scan tests now go through `queryWindowsProcessDescendants({ fresh: true })`,
the teardown path that still depends on that contract.

* docs(native-chat): stop citing the removed handoff in lifecycle comments

Six comments still named the handoff coordinator, a handoff suspend, or a
terminal-owned session as live participants in the flows they describe.

* test(native-chat): pin that a start dead before proving owes no settlement

The removed restart handoff test pinned this branch; nothing else did.

* fix(native-chat): keep the owner-status read behind an in-flight attach

The handoff removal dropped the per-session queue from `handoffStatus`, so a
read landing mid-start reported the reservation (no owner) instead of the
settled chat owner, and shipped desktop clients blocked worktree activation on
it. The read is queued again, as it was before the removal.

* refactor(terminal): remove the agent-session PTY write gate

The gate only refused a write when a PTY had been bound to a chat session, and the
only code that ever bound one was the terminal handoff this branch removes. With it
gone, every admit/readmit returned "admitted" unconditionally, so the checks on the
renderer write path, the runtime controller backstop, terminal.send, agent prompts,
preview input and orchestration pointers, the refusal fields on terminal.send and
worker-start receipts, the plugin and CLI refusal copy, and the adopted-pane
orchestration routing could no longer run. Ordinary writes take the same path in
the same order as before.

* refactor(native-chat): drop the transcript helpers only the handoff called

appendLegacyTranscriptMessages fed the terminal transcript catch-up and
proveClaudeTranscriptBranch backed the terminal owner's exit proof. Both lost
their last caller with the handoff. Their tests now go through the live entry
points instead: the roster bounds through the legacy import, the pinned-read and
growth tests through the ancestry replay the history window uses, and the marker
rules through the string proof in their own file rather than the session-file
resolver's.

* fix(native-chat): stop calling a starting chat "mid-handoff"

A send refused because the chat's owner is not settled showed "The session is
mid-handoff (<stage>)." in the composer. With the handoff gone, the stages that
reach it are a chat that is still starting, or one whose previous agent process
has not yet been confirmed stopped. The message now says which of the two it is.
The refusal code is unchanged.

* test(native-chat): type the stand-in roster decoder without a cast

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(codex): name the pinned rollout lookup for what it does

With the terminal handoff gone, the module named codex-tui-rollout-proof holds
only the pinned rollout lookup that structured Codex launches use to resume a
thread, so the name described code that no longer exists. Rename the module and
its options type. Also drop a mobile allowlist assertion that pinned the
removed agentSession.requestHandoff method, which no longer exists to allow.

* refactor(native-chat): type the owner-status reply as the host sends it

The handoffStatus reply type still listed the terminal handoff's fields and
states (terminal placement, host label, proof retry, queued and waiting phases,
the to-terminal direction). No host writes them any more and the only client
reader parses the reply as unknown, so they described nothing. The reply on the
wire is unchanged.

* refactor(native-chat): normalize terminal-handoff lease values once at decode

Nothing in this build writes a terminal owner (`runtimeKind: 'tui'`) or the
handoff's `preparing` / `old-owner-stopped` stages, but the in-memory types
still admitted them, so readers across the host kept branches for values no
path produces and the compiler could not point at them.

The store now validates the on-disk shape, which still accepts those values so
an older record is not quarantined, and maps them once while parsing:

- `preparing` and `old-owner-stopped` become `recovering`
- a `tui` lease becomes `native`; when it records a process it also becomes
  `conflicted`, the claim every build probes but never stops. A plain native
  owner would be stopped by restart recovery, here and in older builds.

Revisions are taken over the normalized state on both sides of every compare,
and the mapped record reaches disk with the store's first transaction, the
same way the tab-id backfill does.

The in-memory types narrow to what this build writes, and the branches that
existed only for the removed values go. Structured-worker identity keeps its
verdict for a former terminal owner by refusing a conflicted claim rather
than a non-native kind.

* refactor(native-chat): stop threading the owner kind through a reservation

A reservation only ever names a native owner now, so the request no longer
carries a kind and the reserved lease records `native` directly. The attach
params keep `runtimeKind`: agentSession.ensure and create accept it, and the
operation fingerprint stored in the ledger covers it.

* test(native-chat): pin the legacy-lease rewrite with a transaction that changes nothing else

Hiding a tab also committed the visibility index, so the no-op transaction
wrote the file even when its open-time revision was wrong. Committing the index
first leaves the pending rewrite as the only reason to write.

* fix(native-chat): name a chat write by its target, not the owner generation

A write carried the fence of the last frame the pane read, and the host refused it
unless that fence was still current. An idle release and the restart after it each
move the fence, and the release publishes nothing, so a send after a release was
refused "Expected runtime fence 1; the session is at 3", and a Stop queued behind a
cold start was refused as stale.

Every write already names what it acts on: a send its conversation, a cancel its
turn, a prompt answer its item revision, a rewind its epoch; an option is
last-writer-wins. So admission stops comparing the client's fence, and the rebase
that papered over one restart (admitAtResumedFence, resumedFromFence) goes with it.
The writer-lease check stays, and so does the attach's compare-and-swap.

Frames now stamp the fence read when each frame is sent instead of a copy each
subscriber kept, which went stale on the same release.

* fix(native-chat): every journal append reaches the chats that are open

A journal write and its delivery to open readers were two calls, and some
writers made only the first. A failed start whose lease could not be handed
back, a provider revision with no frame behind it, and eviction's settlement
were all journaled without reaching an open chat.

A journal handle now reports every durable change, and the host's session map
binds that report to the session's readers when the handle is set. Writers no
longer publish what they append; the per-writer publish calls are deleted.

* test(native-chat): an epoch replacement reaches the open chat

* test(native-chat): each row reaches an open chat once, and a live handle enters only through the map

* test(native-chat): give the legacy-lease store test a tab id so the backfill cannot supply its rewrite

The seeded record had no surface tab id, so the next open backfilled one and
that rewrite alone made the no-op transaction write. The test passed with the
legacy-lease rewrite signal removed.

* test(worktree-activation): restore the OMP surfaced-agent resume test

The handoff removal deleted it alongside the terminal-owner tests, but it
covers the surfaced-PTY block that still guards resume, including an agent
whose ownership is unknown.

* perf(native-chat): a publish behind a delivered commit reads nothing

Each commit now delivers itself, so the publish a provider frame still sends
afterwards found every reader caught up but still read rows and rebuilt the
timeline for each one. A caught-up reader now skips the read.

* test(native-chat): state why the teardown test's fake journal is safe to cast

* docs(native-chat): say mutation admission checks only the writer lease

* docs(native-chat): drop the send rebase from comments that still described it

* fix(native-chat): a message is accepted, then delivered

A send to a chat with no running agent restarted the agent inside the send
call, before the message was recorded, so the client waited for the whole
start and a failed restart refused the message. Claude held prompts sent
during startup, and those could settle as "unconfirmed".

A send is now accepted inside the session's serialized queue: one ledger row
and one submission row marked handoverRecorded, published, answered pending.
A per-session delivery loop exists while a message is queued. It starts the
agent through the same serialized attach a hold uses, waits outside the queue
for a Claude child to prove its start, and hands the oldest queued message
over as its own serialized step, writing dispatch{pending} before the adapter
call. A start it needed and did not get writes one error-tone row and rejects
every queued message with the same words; a start Stop cancelled writes none.

Settlement follows from the rows. A queued message is provably unwritten, so a
close, an eviction or an exit rejects it. A handed-over message stays in doubt.
A queued row at or below the sequence a handle found when it opened was left
by an earlier process and is rejected at open, with no latch. Stop withdraws
queued messages with no writer lease and no fence. An attach failure keeps the
conversation open, and the attach adopts its journal. Owed work counts the
loop and queued rows.

A compaction or rewind found prepared when a conversation opens was started
under a child this process no longer has, so the open settles it rather than
leaving it to refuse every send until a view attaches. The open cursor is
scoped to its epoch, because sequences restart when an epoch is replaced.

Deleted: restart-before-admission, recordFailedRestart, the fence rebase,
Claude's startup gate, the attach's forget on failure and its own crash
boundary. Clients without agent-session.accepted-send.v1 get their reply held
until the handover; the desktop and paired desktop lists advertise it.

* fix(native-chat): settle queued messages only for the child that ended

A child that proved its start and then exited before its message was handed
over left the message queued: the exit settlement returned early when nothing
else was in flight. Delivery then started another child for it, and a child
that died the same way started another, without end and without a row.

A retried settlement for an earlier generation, run by the attach that
delivery started, did the opposite: with that generation's turn unfinished it
rejected the message queued for the child being attached.

The settlement now takes the rejection for queued messages from its caller.
The unexpected exit and the eviction pass one, and it applies even with no
other work in flight; the retry for an earlier generation passes none.

* fix(native-chat): an adoption that fails to import keeps the conversation open

The attach now writes into the conversation's own open journal, but a failed
transcript import still closed it as if it were the attach's provisional one.
The conversation stayed indexed with a closed journal, so every later send
answered "could not be recorded" and every attach failed again until the app
restarted. The import now closes only a journal the attach opened for itself.

* perf(native-chat): the recovering open reads the journal once

Every conversation open now goes through the recovering open, including the
read restore of every chat at startup, which used to replay its journal once.
The recovering open replayed it twice: once to probe it and again inside the
open. The probe is now handed to the open as its load.

* fix(native-chat): an attach that fails after indexing its child leaves no child behind

A failed attach now keeps the conversation open, but a failure after
`onAttached` indexed the child (the rewind or compaction recovery, or the
attach's own success record) left that entry claiming a child the failure
path had already released. The next send found the phantom, skipped the start,
and wrote at a fence the journal had moved past, so the message stayed queued
for good. The entry now drops the released child and its event sink, and
follows the record's fence, as a failure before indexing already did.

* fix(native-chat): a withdrawn message shows no error, and a rejection outlasts the send's answer

The error strip for a message the host accepted and then did not deliver matched the entry before
the outbox reconciled, so a Stop's withdrawal, which the reconcile drops, showed "Orca could not
send your message" with nothing to retry. It now reads the reconciled entry.

A rejection the journal records before the send's own pending answer lands is final as well:
that answer no longer puts the entry back to dispatching with no Retry.

* fix(orchestration): a structured worker whose agent outlasts the preamble wait is left unknown, not torn down

The preamble waits for its submission to be delivered while the worker's agent starts. When that
wait ran out it threw operation_unknown, and the failed-start teardown then closed the session,
which rejected the very preamble the host was about to deliver. It now reports a turn start
nobody observed yet: the worker is start-unknown with its session kept, the host delivers the
preamble when the agent starts, and the worker's report settles the dispatch as for any
unobserved start. The receipt no longer suggests reading a screen a structured worker lacks.

* fix(native-chat): a message rejected while its chat was closed reads as not sent

A remount reads an entry it left dispatching as unconfirmed. When the journal had rejected it
meanwhile, as a failed start or a quit now does, the reconcile left it unconfirmed: it blocked
every later message behind a Retry and no reason, and the delivery probe, seeing the journal
already answered, never ran. The reconcile now settles it as rejected like a dispatching one.

* test(orchestration): name why the readiness settlement fakes are cast

* fix(native-chat): keep each pane's own fence on frames so a failed restart is not resent

* docs(native-chat): drop the fence from the admission the send effects run behind

* docs(native-chat): give the fence move on release the reason that still holds

* docs(native-chat): stop citing a write fence check in launch and mailbox comments

Three places still gave the removed fence check as a reason: the launch replay said admission puts the ledger ahead of the fence, the launch surface said a send must name the lease it was admitted against, and the direct-mailbox path said the lease fence decides whether delivery is safe. Admission now checks only the writer lease.

* refactor(native-chat): the provider child is its own record

A conversation now outlives any number of provider children, so the child is one record on the
conversation's entry instead of five loose fields beside its journal. It is written in one place:
indexed only once an attach has fully succeeded, and ended through one function that an exit, a
failed re-attach, a Stop and an eviction all share, matched on the child's generation and fence.

- A failed attach writes no child, so there is nothing to unwind: the field unwind and the fence
  patch after it are gone.
- Conversation writes read the record's fence, the way mutation admission already does; a child's
  own writes use its fence. The four stored-fence patches, and the settlement retry's overwrite of
  the conversation's fence, are gone.
- The owed wind-down is its own tombstone, carrying the child it is owed for, and is no longer
  dropped when an attach replaced the whole entry.
- Stop on a child still proving its start stops only the child: its lease goes back and the chat
  is told it is idle, but the journal, the holders and the readers stay. Close is that stop plus
  the conversation's close.
- The settlement retry uses the conversation's own journal, opened through the host's one open.

* fix(native-chat): the delivery loop alone settles a message its start or child failed

A queued message was settled by whichever path happened to end the child first: the loop, the
unexpected exit, eviction's work settlement, the open's leftover rule, and the startup branch that
rejected every pending row. That gave two failure rows with different tones for one start, a loop
that could hand over to a different child than the one it waited on, and a Claude start that died
while starting reading unlike every other failed start.

- The loop remembers the child it waited on. At handover, if that child is gone or replaced, it
  reads how it ended: a Stop continues; anything else writes one failure row and rejects every
  queued message with the same words, then stops. A child still starting whose start the adapter
  says did not land fails the same way. The exit, eviction and the settlement retry only settle
  the handed-over and legacy rows of the child that ended.
- One failure row, always an error, keyed by the start. A start a view began that dies with
  nothing queued writes the same row through the same builder, so a second report revises it.
- The open no longer rejects leftovers; the loop's first step does, and the open wakes it.
- `awaitStarted` answers why a start did not land, so the row says it even when the loop sees the
  failure before the exit is processed.
- Quit closes every conversation the way closing a chat does: what is still queued is rejected as
  closed, with or without a child, and a start the loop already has in flight is waited for so the
  child it produces is stopped rather than left behind.

* refactor(native-chat): a stopped child ends on the one reading of its stop

The eviction step reads a stop's result through `stopAgentSessionProviderRoot` and hands that
verdict to the child's ending, so the host never forms a second view of whether the root is gone.
Every ending carries it: a stop's comes from that reading, an exit's root is gone by definition,
and a failed re-attach passes what its release saw. The end-of-child record can therefore also
carry a stop whose root was not seen to go, which nothing ends on yet.

* feat(native-chat): the host says it accepts a send before any agent has it

The host now lists agent-session.accepted-send.v1 among its own runtime capabilities, the same
string capable clients already send. A client can then tell a host that answers a send at
acceptance, and admits a Stop with no writer before a turn starts, from an older one that still
restarts the agent inside the send. Additive: an older client ignores a capability it does not
know.

* refactor(native-chat): an attach never opens a journal of its own

The attach adopts the conversation's open journal, which outlives it, so it no longer opens one
for a direct caller either. That leaves nothing for a failed adopted import to close, and the flag
that told the two cases apart is gone. Tests that attach without a host open the conversation the
way a host does.

* fix(native-chat): a moved fence resends nothing on a host that accepts first

The outbox treated any fence change as a new owner: it dropped the answer of a send in flight,
queued that send to go out again under the same id, and unblocked a refused head. On an older
host that is how a send the restart refused, unrecorded, gets another try. On a host that records
every send before it starts an agent, a fence moves because that start ran, so the same rule
resent into every failed start. With a fence stamped on every frame, that became a loop.

The outbox now reacts to a fence change only when the host has not advertised that it accepts a
send before any agent has it. On such a host, only a Retry or a new send goes out, and a failed
start reaches the client as a rejected message it keeps with its Retry. Against an older host, or
before one has answered, the outbox behaves as it did. Desktop and paired web share this hook.

* refactor(native-chat): a child's end says whether the user or the host stopped it

The end-of-child record's cause now tells a user's Stop from the host stopping the child for a
cause of its own: `user-stop` and `host-stop` replace `stop`. The delivery loop goes on after a
user's Stop, as before, and fails the start it was waiting on after a host stop, with the one
error row and every queued message rejected, in the stop's reason when it gave one. The reason
stays description only. Stop passes `user-stop`; nothing passes `host-stop` yet.

* fix(native-chat): a chat whose only work is a queued message is not offered for resume

A message accepted while the agent was starting counts as working in the chat, and quit rejects it
as never sent. The teardown snapshot read the same working rule, so a relaunch offered to resume a
chat whose agent never had the message. The snapshot now reads only what was handed over.

* test(native-chat): type the queued-message fixtures in the resume-offer tests

* fix(native-chat): a start that dies while a message waits on it is that message's failed start

Opening a chat's tab starts an agent for the view, and a send accepted meanwhile waits on it. When
that start died, its exit wrote the start's error row and left the message queued, so the delivery
loop started a second agent into the same failure and wrote a second row. A child's end now records
where the conversation's journal stood, and the loop settles a message accepted before a failed
start ended with that start: one row, under its key, and no second start. A message sent after the
failure still gets a fresh start.

* fix(native-chat): a request that failed reads as failed

A structured chat whose only message the agent's start refused read as a
green finish, and a cancelled structured turn did too: the host published a
verdict only for turn records, and structured rows carried no `interrupted`.

The host projection now reads the session's latest request: its turn's
outcome, or `failure` for a send the agent or its start refused. A send
that was withdrawn, or left undelivered by a restart or a close, fails
nobody and makes nothing listable. The ingest publishes `interrupted` as the
hook lanes do, and every reader decodes the verdict through one accessor, so
a failure reads Failed on the dot, the rollups, history and `worktree ps`,
behaves like a cancellation in every clean-finish policy, and notifies as
"failed".

* docs(native-chat): say what an attach's open conversation and unconfirmed ids are now

* test(native-chat): a verdict change republishes the mobile status projection

* refactor(native-chat): the store's retention trigger keeps its flag compare

A verdict change always moves the completion clock the same check already
reads, so a second verdict compare there caught nothing new.

* test(native-chat): a user message the provider journaled keeps its session listed

* test(native-chat): pin what a failed start settles, and what a resume offer names

A view's child that dies while a sent message waits settles that message only when it died starting
and no child has taken its place: a proven child's crash, or a second start since, gets the message
delivered. The resume offer names the handed-over message, never a newer one still queued.

* test(native-chat): the failed-start pins fail on what the message became, not on a timeout

* fix(native-chat): a late provider-session update keeps a failed recovery record failed

A provider-session heartbeat that rewrites a completed recovery record kept
its interrupted flag but dropped the outcome it was copied with, so a live
failed checkpoint read as a clean finish until the next status write.

* test(orchestration): the preamble's host stub is typed, not cast

The preamble send now takes only what it reads of the host, the send, the settlement wait and the
record's fence, so its test builds that host with real types instead of `as never`.

* test(native-chat): the terminal-bell check asserts the renamed verdict field

The bell notification test still checked for agentInterrupted, which no
longer exists, so it could not catch a verdict leaking into a bell dispatch.

* fix(native-chat): a failed turn ranks like a completion for attention

Attention readers (completion time, Smart Sort, sticky retention, Cmd+J
Recent) now demote only a turn the user stopped. A failure is news the
user has not seen, so it keeps its completion time, ranks in the Done
class, stays retained after its pane goes away, and a retained failure
reads failed in the worktree rollup instead of done. Clean-finish
policy (hibernation, pane ownership, the value moment) still treats a
failure like a stop.

The retention trigger compares verdicts again: success -> failure no
longer moves the completion clock.

* fix(native-chat): a failed main agent reads failed while its subagents still work

The verdict is now read from the main agent's own state, not the folded
row: a main agent that is done and failed has a verdict even while its
subagents keep the row working. Without mainAgent (history, worktree ps,
older hosts) the old combined-done rule stands.

Display marks the verdict through agentVerdictDisplayMark: a failure
outranks every combined state on the agent's dot, label, tab badge,
dashboard and activity rows; a stop marks only a done row, so a
successful or stopped main agent with live subagents still reads
working. Subagent rows keep their own state. The worktree card, terminal
tab and Cmd+J rollups share one pane fold and rank a pending question,
then failed, then working, monitoring, interrupted and done.

worktree ps publishes the main agent's outcome on a working row, and the
mobile mirror reads it. The store's change check, the paired-client
mirror's equality and its epoch now see a verdict change on a working
row, which otherwise moves no state or clock and left the worktree card
reading working. Clean-finish policy is unchanged: a working row is never
hibernated and has no completion time.

* docs(native-chat): the worktree ps outcome comment no longer claims old hosts send it

The field is new: an old host sends no outcome at all, so a reader falls
back to interrupted. The removed clause said old hosts send it on done
rows, which never shipped.

* docs(native-chat): the status-store listing rule names provider-journaled user messages

* fix(native-chat): a refused send notifies failed through the completion feed

The host's completion feed followed only the newest turn, so a send the
agent or its start refused, which creates no turn, read Failed on its row
but sent no notification. The feed now follows the session's latest
request, read from the projection the status feed already makes for the
commit: a turn keeps its id, a refused send is named by its journal item
key. It announces only while the session is idle, as the row reports a
verdict, so queued sends refused one commit at a time notify once, and a
withdrawn send falls back to a request already announced.

* fix(native-chat): every copy of a row carries the main agent's own status

History entries, sleep records and `worktree ps` rows carried a flattened
top-level `outcome`, copied under different gates and without the main agent's
clock. They now carry `mainAgent` (state, outcome, stateStartedAt), the type
the live row already persists and sends, and every copy site takes it with
`interrupted` through one function, `agentVerdictFields`.

- The accessor reads `mainAgent` then the legacy flag; the mobile mirror
  matches it line for line.
- Sleep records admit `mainAgent` with `normalizeMainAgentStatusField`, so a
  malformed value drops the field, never the record.
- Mobile dates a main agent that failed under live subagents by its own clock,
  as desktop does, and its row equality compares `mainAgent`.
- The activity feed reads a history entry's own `mainAgent` instead of
  rebuilding one; the sync key and history equality compare it.

* test(native-chat): pin the worktree ps verdict across host and phone versions

Pairs the real v1.4.212 host and phone row reader with this build: an old phone
reads a new host's rows by `interrupted`, a new phone reads an old host's rows
(no `mainAgent`) the same way, and a new phone reads a failure under live
subagents as Failed, dated by `mainAgent.stateStartedAt`. The release checkout
now carries the phone's self-contained row reader, and the lane runs when the
`worktree ps` row producers change.

* test(mobile): name the parity table's row for its role

* fix(native-chat): a request that settles while the user is asked something notifies once

The completion edge waited for an idle session, and a pending prompt (including a
subagent's approval) is not idle. Structured chat has no other attention producer,
so a main turn that finished while a subagent waited on the user sent nothing
until the prompt was answered.

The edge now waits only on owed work (a running turn or an unanswered send), which
the projection reports even beneath a pending prompt. A request that settles with
a prompt pending announces once; the renderer words it "needs input" from the
host status mirror's `attention`, and answering the prompt keeps the same request
identity, so it does not announce again. The wire shape is unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): the completion says when the user is being asked

A request that settles while a prompt waits on the user was worded "needs input"
from the renderer's status-feed mirror. Remote clients receive the status and
completion streams over separate sockets, so they can arrive in either order and
the wording could be wrong both ways.

The host already knows at emit time, so the completion now carries an optional
`awaitingUser: true` in that case and omits it otherwise. The renderer words the
notification from that field alone and no longer reads the status mirror. Old
clients ignore the field and word by outcome; old hosts never send it.

* fix(worktree-status): a departed agent's failure yields to live work on the worktree card

A retained failed agent has no expiry, so ranking it with a live failure pinned the card to Failed over other panes' live work. It now ranks below working, monitoring and permission, and above every finished outcome.

* docs(agent-status): a departed agent's failure ranks below live work on the worktree card

* fix(native-chat): a view never restarts a chat whose last start failed

A Claude chat whose CLI exits during startup left one red row per start, and
every time a view bound to it (the chat opening right after its create died,
or the user switching back to it) the hold started the CLI again, so the same
launch-failure row repeated. Only a send retries a failed start now, the same
rule provider-exit recovery already applied; the rule lives in one predicate
the hold, exit recovery and the delivery loop share.

* test(native-chat): start the child the loop waits on with an attach, not a second view

A view no longer starts a child whose last start failed, so the R2 case that
waits on a child started since the failure now gets that child from a client
attach, the one non-send starter left.

* fix(native-chat): settle a gone generation's turn wherever a conversation opens

A send that opens a chat this process had not read yet (after a crash, from a
phone or the CLI) went through the delivery open, which never settled what the
dead generation left running; only the read restore and a successful acquire
did. When the send's start then failed, the turn stayed running for every
reader. The settlement now runs in the one journal open, at the crash boundary,
for every opener except an acquisition, which settles from the evidence it read
before its reserve; the read restore's separate step is gone.

* test(native-chat): prove the next child's start settles the turn an earlier child left

The R1 case lost its only settlement assertion when the latch it checked was
deleted. It now seeds the running turn the earlier child left and asserts it
ends at the exit's receipt, with the exit's row, before the message is handed
to the new child.

* test(native-chat): count a failed start's rows by row, not by text

Comparing the set of texts passed when two different rows carried the same
words, which is the duplicate the test exists to catch.

* test(cross-version): load the phone row readers without mobile's toolchain

Vite transforms a file against its nearest tsconfig, and mobile/tsconfig.json
extends expo/tsconfig.base.json, which the root-only cross-version lane never
installs. The worktree ps verdict suite imported the current phone row reader
from mobile/ directly, so CI failed with TSConfckParseError before any test ran.

The harness now imports a copy of the working-tree reader placed under the
checkout cache, where the root tsconfig applies, as it already does for the
release checkout's copy. Both readers are still the real files.

* test(cross-version): keep the checkout path-guard message and justify the copy import's cast

* test(native-chat): give the failed-start and stale-turn waits a loaded runner's budget

* test(native-chat): pin the open's and the send's start and row counts, however the view binds

Opening a fresh chat whose starts fail makes one start and one row, with two
views bound before or after the create's child died; one send makes one more
of each.

* fix(native-chat): settle a gone generation's turn at every open but an acquisition's

The journal open skipped the settlement whenever the lease read reserved or
live, to leave an acquisition's own open to the acquisition. But a lease a
crashed process left in recovery also reads live, until the next acquire
resolves it. A send that opened such a chat, from a phone or the CLI after a
crash on a host that could not prove the old owner gone, skipped the
settlement; when its start then failed, the dead turn stayed running for every
reader. The acquisition now says it is the opener, and every other open
settles, whatever the lease still claims.

* test(native-chat): hold the create's start open until the views bind

The "view binds while the create is still starting" case gave the create a
300 ms head start and asserted the views bound before it died. On a loaded
runner the holds took longer, the create's exit landed first, and the case
failed its own precondition. The create's initialize now waits on a gate the
test releases once the views are bound.

* refactor(native-chat): drop the composer's second error formatter

After the merge with main, every chat write in the composer path reports its
failure as a typed outcome worded by the refusal-notice table, so the send's
catch sees only a local throw. The {code, message} formatter this branch added
for it has no payload left to format, and its claim to be the one way a chat
words a failure is no longer true. The composer send is main's again.

* test(native-chat): pin the reason on a message rejected while its chat was closed

The reopen test checked only that the message reads as not sent; it now also
checks the Retry row carries the host's reason.

* fix(native-chat): a send the provider never received after a restart has no verdict

Restart reconciliation rejects a crash-stranded send that is absent from a
trustworthy provider history with reason 'not_delivered'. Nobody failed that
send, but the verdict allowlist did not name it, so after a crash the chat
read Failed, was listed, and could notify "failed". Give the reason a shared
constant (persisted value unchanged), add it to the no-verdict set, and treat
it as an internal marker so the Retry row no longer shows the raw string.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim da5d555259 refactor(agent-status): delete the runtime's retained row store (PR 1b) (#19785)
* docs(agent-status): plan PR 1b at file level

Names the five RuntimeAgentRowStore call sites and what each becomes, why
terminalHandle has to be stamped before the store can go, and the one
intended behavior change.

* feat(agent-status): stamp the pane terminal handle on hook-server rows

The runtime's retained row store carried the pty binding two readers need. Put
that fact on the row that already owns the pane instead, resolved through the
same lookup the renderer-facing IPC boundary runs, so the two surfaces cannot
disagree about which terminal a pane is.

Carried forward when a later write resolves no handle (only main's OSC parse
can), and never persisted: a handle belongs to the runtime that issued it.

* refactor(agent-status): route the session-tabs republish off the store

`retain()` was not only a duplicate store: its boolean return was the signal
that republished `session.tabs` for a status-only transition, which no title
change covers (#7970). `hook-status-session-tabs-invalidation.ts` already
mirrors that change set plus hook restore provenance, so route the signal off
the store rather than keep a second comparator.

Adds the status-drop arm a user dismissal emits, which the pane-clear fan-out
deliberately skips — now load-bearing, because a dismissed row leaves the
listing at once.

Installed on both hosts. orcad had neither the OSC producer nor this signal, so
its runtime observed agent status and published it nowhere; deleting the
retained copy without wiring it would list no PTY agents there at all.

* refactor(agent-status): delete the runtime's duplicate retained row store

`RuntimeAgentRowStore` held the same payload the hook server already holds, so
the same pane could legitimately read differently in the sidebar, in
`worktree ps`, and on the phone. Both of its readers move onto the store's
snapshot in `runtime-hook-agent-row-selection.ts`, and
`collectRuntimeWorktreePtyAgentSources` loses the retained-versus-hook
reconciliation that only existed because two stores could disagree.

`ConnectedPtyEvidence` trades its flat pty-id set for `ptyIdByTerminalHandle`,
which is how a row still resolves the connected PTY behind it — the
working-terminal rollup's match key, and the last rescue for a row whose pane
binding a controller incarnation nulled under it.

The one intended behavior change: a row the user dismisses on the desktop
leaves `worktree ps` and mobile at once instead of lingering until the pty
exits. One store means one dismissal.

The suites written against the retained store are rewired to a real
AgentHookServer rather than deleted, so each still asserts the listing
behavior it named.

* docs(agent-status): record what PR 1b landed

Past tense, plus two corrections to the plan: `terminalHandle` is not the pty
id (they are different identifiers, and the explicit-status reader was already
comparing against a real handle), and the legacy numeric pane key is a
consequence the plan did not name.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim ebb1acfa37 refactor(agent-status): publish structured sessions into the hook server store (#19683)
* refactor(agent-status): publish structured sessions into the hook server store

Structured (native chat) sessions have no PTY and no hook script, so their
status never reached the hook server's store; #19217 gave `worktree ps` its
own adapter over the structured feed instead. The feed now writes every
projection into that store through a status sink the runtime wires, drops
the row when the host closes the session, and `worktree ps` reads the one
snapshot like every other agent.

Rows carry a `structuredHost` marker and the journal clock; they are never
persisted to last-status.json, and the main process does not forward them
to the renderer yet, whose feed bridge still owns them until it is retired.

Design and the two follow-ups: docs/reference/agent-status-store.md.

* chore: drop stray @pnpm/exe lockfile entry

An unrelated local pnpm run added @pnpm/exe as a packageManagerDependency
with no package.json change, so CI's --frozen-lockfile install failed
before any job ran.

* docs(agent-status): describe the step that actually landed

The design record claimed PR 1 deletes RuntimeAgentRowStore, drops the
retained-versus-hook reconciliation, stamps terminalHandle on OSC rows, and
tags rows with a source field of 'structured-host'. None of that is true of
the shipped code: the retained store and its reconciliation are still in
place, and the row field is structuredHost: 'held' | 'owned'.

AGENTS.md points every future contributor here before they touch agent
status, so split the roadmap into the 1a that landed and the 1b that has not,
and name the fields the code actually writes.

* fix(agent-status): pair session removal with the status-row forget

A session dropped from the host's map without an explicit forget left its row
in the store forever: `structuredHostOwned` bypasses the staleness check, so a
failed re-attach (the Claude rewind path reaches one) stranded a permanently
working agent in `worktree ps` and on mobile with no UI able to clear it.
Deletion and forget are now one operation both callers route through.

* fix(agent-status): give orcad the store worktree ps reads from

`orcad` constructed its runtime with neither `getAgentStatusSnapshot` nor
`structuredAgentStatusSink`, so once `worktree ps` sourced rows only from that
snapshot the headless host published nowhere and listed nothing. The hook
server's store is a module singleton whose import tree never reaches Electron,
and its file paths come from `start()`, which orcad never calls.

* fix(agent-status): drop a structured row without a renderer clear

`dropStructuredStatus` went through `clearPaneState`, which fans a pane clear
out to the renderer for a pane key the renderer's own feed bridge still writes
- so 'exactly one writer per pane key' held for writes and not for deletes.
`dropStatusEntry` routes through the status-drop tap instead, and skips the
resume-identity remnant: a structured session has no pane to resume into, and
every null-status publish would otherwise re-mint one.

* test(agent-status): pin both half-migration structured-row filters

Neither the `agentStatus:getSnapshot` filter nor the main-window listener's had
a single assertion, so deleting either — the first step of PR 2 — was green
everywhere. Also covers the perf skip and the drop's lack of a renderer clear.

* docs(agent-status): correct three statements this PR made false

The sink JSDoc claimed only tests construct a host without one; `orcad` did.
The doc argued a structured row needs no tab mirror 'because headless serve has
no renderer', reasoning about exactly the topology the wiring had not reached.
The deleted runtime adapter's warning that the pane key must be the DERIVED one
- never a bearer handle or minted worker key - was lost with it.

* test(agent-status): declare orcad in the hook-row producer census

Wiring the hook store into the orcad runtime added a production site that
hands hook rows to a consumer, which the census ratchet pins deliberately.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 1c1cb7115a fix(orchestration): unify structured-session status across worktree ps and sidebar (#19217)
* fix(orchestration): stop worktree ps reporting a busy structured session as idle

A worktree running a structured Claude or Codex chat read as idle to `orca
worktree ps`, while the desktop sidebar showed the same session working. The
sidebar was right: the host already projects a status summary for every
structured session and publishes it, and the renderer maps it into an agent
row. `worktree ps` simply never consumed it, so the agent-facing surface was
the blind one.

Structured sessions have no PTY, so they reach neither the hook snapshots nor
the retained ones that every other row is built from. This reads the summaries
the host has already published and applies the same projection the sidebar
does — working, attention as blocked, otherwise done — so the CLI and the GUI
cannot disagree about one session.

Two things worth knowing:

The connected-PTY evidence gate had to be skipped for these rows. It exists to
drop a row whose PTY is gone, which is the wrong question for a session that
never had one; a structured row's liveness evidence is the status feed that
produced it. The exemption is keyed on the row being structured, so every
PTY-backed row keeps today's behaviour.

`RuntimeWorktreeAgentRow` needed no change. It was already a non-PTY shape —
paneKey, state, agentType, and no ptyId, connected or writable — so a
structured row fits without inventing a fake terminal coordinate.

The pane key is the DERIVED one the renderer already publishes, never the
orchestration bearer handle or the minted worker pane key: both are
credentials, since `orchestration check` is identity-gated and accepts a
caller-supplied pane key.

`orca terminal list` is deliberately untouched, and a test pins that. Adding
rows there breaks real consumers: mobile mounts a terminal WebView per row that
can never receive a frame, a `connected`-keyed refresh check goes permanently
true and pins shipped clients to a fast cadence with no exit, and the plugin
projection has no field that can carry `writable: false`. Every safe consumer
of a terminal summary checks `ptyId`; the breaking ones key off `connected` or
mere row presence, which no added field can qualify. An honest partial-listing
count there is a separate change.

* fix(runtime): report only live structured sessions in worktree ps

The status feed's `published` map is a broadcast cache, not a roster. It
deliberately never retracts — an evicted idle session is still idle, and a
reloading renderer must not lose every settled row — so enumerating it lists
every session the host has ever opened, and eviction's `forget-session` step
deletes the session from the live map while touching nothing else.

Reading it as a roster made `worktree ps` report a closed chat forever. The
sharp edge is a chat closed while an approval was pending: a deliberate close
does not settle a pending prompt, so the retained summary stays `attention`,
maps to a `blocked` row, and merges the worktree to `permission` for the whole
30-minute freshness window — on the CLI and on the mobile sidebar it backs.

The poller now answers from the sessions the host still holds, intersecting the
live map with the retained projections. `subscribe()` and its snapshot are
untouched: retention there is the point. Gating on the live session set rather
than the visible tabs keeps a headless orchestration worker listed, which is
what the agent-facing surface is for.

Also folds out two things the enumerator left behind: the working/attention/idle
to working/blocked/done mapping now lives once in the shared projection module
instead of once per process, which is what actually enforces "the CLI and the
GUI cannot disagree"; and the structured row source no longer builds a
write-only `payload` behind an `as` cast that compensated for nothing. The
structured source construction moves to its own module to keep
runtime-worktree-agent-rows.ts clear of the 300-line cap.

* test(runtime): execute the structured-host call site in worktree ps

Both structured-row suites called attachRuntimeWorktreeAgentRows directly
with summaries they built themselves, so nothing ever ran getWorktreePs's
own `getStructuredAgentSessionHost()?.liveSessionStatusSummaries()`. That
file carries `@ts-nocheck`, so renaming the accessor was green in typecheck
and in the suite, while `orca worktree ps` and mobile's 3s poll would throw
a TypeError for every user — the `?.` optional-chains the host, not the
method. Swapping the call back to a whole-cache read was equally invisible:
the liveness suite injects feed.liveSessionSummaries() itself, and the
string-match guard only needs the identifier to appear somewhere in the file.

Drives the real runtime with a stub host over a real status feed that has
published two sessions and forgotten one, asserting the live session's row
reaches ps output, that the live accessor is the one called, and that the
`?? []` fallback still returns a page with no host installed. The stub is
typed against the real host, so a class-side rename reddens tc here.

Neil a5796ec8eb refactor(runtime): split OrcaRuntimeService and compatibility tests (#17605)
* refactor(runtime): split OrcaRuntimeService into focused modules

* test(runtime): cover admission tiers and strict worktree reconciliation

* fix(runtime): preserve owner and structured session visibility

* fix(runtime): port post-extraction compatibility fixes

* fix(runtime): preserve skill-share cancellation barrier

* test(runtime): update identity inventory after extraction

* fix(runtime): preserve hook transport environment cleanup

* fix(runtime): consolidate idle probe imports

* test(runtime): retire split file process allowlist entry

* fix(runtime): route child process types through shared boundary

* test(runtime): preserve worktree host metadata precedence

* fix(runtime): update extracted test seams

* fix(runtime): gate the split's ts-nocheck set and restore the stop-confirmed contract

Audit follow-ups for the OrcaRuntimeService split:

- Freeze the 171 @ts-nocheck files behind a ratchet so no new file can disable
  type checking. The split's linear mixin chain cannot express forward
  references yet, so the existing suppressions are grandfathered; the baseline
  may only shrink.
- Drop the stray @ts-nocheck at the end of orca-runtime-get-status.ts. It sat
  after the first statement, where TypeScript ignores it, so the module was
  already checked.
- Restore `retireRejectedPty(ptyId, stopConfirmed: boolean)` as a required
  argument. The split widened it to optional and patched the resulting error
  with `stopConfirmed === true`; an omitted argument would have silently taken
  the unverified-stop path instead of failing to compile.
- Guard that every orca-runtime-tests fragment is imported by the compatibility
  entrypoint. The fragments are .spec.ts, which no Vitest include glob matches,
  so one left out of the list would silently stop running.

* fix(runtime): restore four behaviors the OrcaRuntimeService split dropped

Audit findings against the refactor's true base (ad5ba2572e):

- retirePtyAgentLaunchAuthority collected pane keys after deleting the
  restored-authority receipt instead of before it. collectPaneKeysForPty reads
  that receipt, so a receipt-only pane lost its key and never had its agent-hook
  compatibility authority retired. on-pty-exit.ts already carried a comment
  naming this exact invariant.
- The PTY-exit path kept orchestrationMailboxNotifications.retirePty but lost
  the loop that schedules a debounced mail-pointer repoint for the dead pty's
  terminal handle and any run bound to its panes. Restores the schedule call
  count to 7, matching base.
- subscribeToPtyExit lost isPtyKnownExited's leaf fallback and its
  post-registration lifecycle-generation recheck. leavesByPtyId is rebuilt from
  the renderer graph independently of ptysById, so a leaf can outlive its pty
  record; without the fallback a caller waiting on an already-dead pty never
  gets released.
- The chain root declared `[key: string]: unknown`, which base had nowhere. It
  leaked through the exported runtime type into every consumer, so any misspelled
  member access typechecked as unknown instead of erroring, and it accounted for
  957 of the suppressed errors. Removing it costs zero type errors.

* fix(runtime): restore escalation prose and unscoped automation publication

Two more behaviors the split dropped, each with a regression test that fails
against the pre-fix code:

- The worker-exit escalation stopped deriving its title through
  buildOrchestrationTaskDisplayMetadata and inlined `task.spec` instead. That
  ignored an explicit task_title, dropped the single-line normalization and the
  80-character bound, and turned the no-spec case into a quoted, duplicated id.
  A multi-paragraph spec landed verbatim in the coordinator's banner. The
  existing 11 tests all use short single-line specs, where the derived title and
  the raw spec are identical, so none of them could see it.
  Also reverts an added `if (!handle) return` guard: the dispatch lookup is
  deliberately keyed on the pane as well, because a reminted handle no longer
  matches the row while the pane identity outlives the remint.
- updateAutomation stopped going through automationChangePublications and
  published `source` unconditionally while gating the fallback on a non-null
  destination. A destination the store can no longer name then published only
  the stale source, so subscribers scoped elsewhere kept rendering a row that
  had left them — the exact case the helper documents. The helper had been left
  with zero callers; all three sites use it again.

* fix(skills): stop swallowing lookup errors and hard-erroring on non-ssh hosts

Follow-ups from auditing the skill install path against the refactor's base:

- resolveWorktree wrapped showManagedWorktree in `.catch(() => null)`, so a
  transient git or IO failure surfaced to the user as
  skill-install-workspace-not-found with the real cause discarded. Errors
  propagate again; a genuine id mismatch still returns null.
- resolveSkillSshTarget threw skill-install-workspace-host-unavailable when the
  execution host was neither local nor ssh, on both the repo and folder
  branches. Base gated these on connectionId, so a runtime-owned repo simply
  was not an SSH install and fell through to the local path. Both return null
  again, and the error code the split invented is now unreferenced.
- listManagedSkillInstalls awaited the receipt walk and the worktree resolve in
  sequence. They are independent and either can hit disk, WSL, or an SSH scan,
  so Promise.all is restored.

Deliberately unchanged: resolving the worktree through listResolvedWorktrees
rather than showManagedWorktree, which disambiguates a worktree id colliding
across hosts and is covered by its own test, and the SSH-folder
skill-install-ssh-dispatch-required throw, which matches the repo branch.

* fix(runtime): merge duplicate worktree-logic imports

The #17448 port added a third import from ../ipc/worktree-logic, which the
code-quality oxlint config rejects under --deny-warnings. Plain oxlint does not
flag it, so it only surfaced in CI's static analysis job.

* ci: run the ts-nocheck ratchet in PR checks

pr-workflow-lint-parity requires every leaf command in `pnpm lint` to have a
matching step in pr.yml. The ratchet was wired into lint but not the workflow,
so PR CI would not have enforced it.

* Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' and retry the paired-host launch evaluate

main advanced 9 commits; none touch the orca-runtime.ts this branch splits, so
nothing needed porting.

CI failed twice on `Execution context was destroyed` thrown from
headless-paired-runtime-host's first `evaluate` after launch — a different spec
each run, which is the signature of the flake #17780 describes rather than a
regression. That commit added retryTransientMainEvaluate and adopted it in five
helpers but not this call site, even though its docblock names exactly this
case: the first evaluate after electron.launch() resolves, before the app is
ready. Wrapped it the same way.
