An enterprise user: "Every day I open orca and it opens more tabs daily at a
linear scale." Three reports over a week, told on 08-19 that a PR had fixed it,
reported twice more after. STA-4658 (P0), GH #12447, #15136, #10342, #9585. One
install held 39 zombie tab records. The revived tab's sleeping-agent record still
holds the pre-close session id, so it boots `claude --resume <old id>` -- two
agents on one transcript.
## The chain, measured
Reproduced deterministically in `ssh-lost-kill-tab-resurrection.spec.ts`: close
an SSH tab, kill the relay daemon in the container so `pty.kill` rejects with a
transport-class error, reconnect.
drop 2 resurrected the closed tab <id>:
baseline=1 drop1=1 drop2=2 (closed tab returned) drop3=1
The trigger is narrow and had to be measured rather than assumed: killed relay
daemon reproduces **6 of 6 runs**; an orderly `ssh.disconnect` **passes**. Only
an ungraceful loss -- network partition, host reboot, relay crash, a laptop
sleeping mid-session -- strands the close with the RPC rejecting on a
transport-class error. Both variants live in the spec behind one
`runResurrectionCycles` parameterized solely by the disruption, so the difference
is attributable to that single variable.
What actually carries the tab back, from the pull path
(`workspace.get` -> `getRemoteSnapshot`, `remote-workspace-relay-sync.ts:29`):
pullSnapshot rev=3 tabs={repo:["16c4a3e1","06aba6b6"]}
pullSnapshot rev=4 tabs={repo:["16c4a3e1","ff72768e"]} <- ff72768e IS the resurrected tab
pullSnapshot rev=5 tabs={repo:["16c4a3e1","ff72768e","da21b76c"]}
The client uploaded the session containing the tab; the user closed it; the kill
RPC rejected so the close never reached the host; the host's snapshot still lists
it; the client pulls it back and the merge restores it -- **correctly, by its own
rule that the host is authoritative for what it knows.** A pane then mounts,
respawns, and takes the recycled pty id.
Client-side correlation from the same run, two controls and one positive in one
run differing in exactly one variable:
| Tab | Close events observed | Resurrected? |
|---|---|---|
| `6305cc07` | `user` + `pty-exit` | No |
| `ed56f66c` | `user` + `pty-exit` | No |
| `2036e760` | `user` only | **YES** |
## The fix
`src/shared/closed-terminal-tab-tombstones.ts` (99 lines). A client-recorded
close is first-party intent and must survive until the host acknowledges it. Per
`docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md` the remote verdict is `unverifiable`
-- which may not authorise declaring the process dead, but equally must not
authorise resurrecting the tab. This is SSH-v3 principle P2, "durable tombstones
with a monotonic per-scope revision", reusing the existing
`RemoteWorkspaceSnapshot.revision` rather than adding a twelfth per-tab identity
field (the codebase carries eleven, 784 refs, that SSH-v3 Phase 3 deletes).
- **Recorded** only on `closeReason === 'user'` (`terminal-tab-close.ts:69`).
- **Suppresses** a host-sourced tab only when
`tabId in tombstones && !currentTabsById.has(tabId)` -- a live local tab always
wins, because deleting a live pane is the one outcome the merge exists to
avoid.
- **Retires** on positive acknowledgement:
`!hostKnownTabIds.has(tabId) && hostRevision > observed`. Strictly newer, so a
pull already in flight at close time cannot ack a close it predates.
- Three never-retire guards: no revision retires nothing; a worktree the snapshot
has no row for retires nothing; the first omitting snapshot only stamps the
watermark.
- TTL (30d) + cap (500) are **backstops** for a target the user never returns to,
not the mechanism.
- **Client-local only** -- never crosses the wire, so there is no mixed-version
exposure.
- Suppression is scoped to `replaceWorktreeIds`, which is what makes the
live-tab check meaningful. A final whole-map sweep over the assembled
`tabsByWorktree` would break that (a live tab is absent from `currentTabsById`
outside the scope and would look suppressible); it is deliberately not there,
and the comment at the top of the function says so.
## Evidence
The load-bearing evidence is an A/B control on one tree, not the oracle's
assertion. Flipping `isSuppressedByClose` to `false` -- one character --
reproduces the resurrection on demand:
--repeat-each=2:
1) drop 2 resurrected the closed tab ab0e305d-…: baseline=1 drop1=1 drop2=2
2) drop 2 resurrected the closed tab 51533e34-…: baseline=1 drop1=1 drop2=2
2 failed
With suppression on: **0 occurrences of "resurrected the closed tab" across five
runs plus one independent run by a second agent.** Provenance verified
positively, not by mtime: `closedTerminalTabTombstonesByTabId` appears 13x across
3 renderer chunks including `store-Do3KBvRE.js`; for every red control run
`mayCreate` appeared 0 times in `out/main/index.js`.
At the unit layer, disabling the same predicate: 3 failed | 39 passed. Restored:
42 passed; 287 across the workspace-session, terminal-store, remote-workspace,
shared-tombstone and profile suites; 24 in the four tombstone suites.
## The oracle spec: GREEN in the full lane
`ssh-lost-kill-tab-resurrection.spec.ts` passes both tests at this commit. Full
Docker-SSH lane, clean tree:
BUILD_SHA=49bb96e0b4c DIRTY=0
PROVENANCE tombstone=13 hasLocalTabsRow=2 hostAuthority=4 mayCreate=3
14 specs / 20 tests -> 17 passed, 2 failed, 1 skipped (10.7m)
[12/20] :178 does not resurrect tabs whose kill was lost to a killed relay
daemon PASSED
[13/20] :190 does not resurrect tabs closed while the host is
disconnected PASSED
grep -c "resurrected the closed tab" (whole lane) -> 0
It passes WITHOUT PR 7 in the build (`mayCreate` present,
`SshPtyAbsentFromRelayError` absent), so the bug-2 fix below is not required for
it.
Test 1 fails intermittently in ISOLATED single-spec runs, where a third defect
blocks its cycle-2 setup. The resurrection assertion itself has never failed with
this fix in place -- the intermittent failure is always a setup failure, never a
resurrected tab. A reviewer running the spec alone may see it red; that is not
this fix regressing.
Three defects sit under STA-3374 and should not be conflated:
- Bug 1 -- the closed tab resurrects. Fixed here.
- Bug 2 -- `ssh-pty-session-reattach.ts:227-231` rewrites the relay's
`PTY "pty-1" not found` into a bare `SSH_SESSION_EXPIRED`, so
`isPtyAlreadyGoneError`'s `/PTY ".+" not found/` cannot match and
`attachStablePaneOwner:242`'s already-correct fallback never runs. Owned by
PR 7 (`nwparker/ssh-07-absent-from-relay`). Not required for the oracle above.
- Bug 3 -- after the daemon is killed and the client launches a replacement, the
client's OWN SSH transport drops and does not reconnect within 60s: no
"delay step 2/9", no handshake failure, nothing. `ssh-connection.ts:1533` only
logs on an SSH-level close. Unfixed, its own ticket. This is what makes test 1
intermittent in isolation.
Discriminator for bug 3, measured in the isolated runs (the lane above ran
without `ORCA_E2E_FORWARD_APP_LOGS=1`, so it was not re-confirmed there):
`[ssh-relay] Socket probe result:` reads "DEAD" on every cycle of test 1 (daemon
killed, a NEW relay must be launched) and "ALIVE" on every cycle of test 2
(daemon survived). Whenever a new daemon must be launched, the SSH transport
drops afterwards and does not recover.
An earlier reading blamed `kill.ts:82-84` for skipping `finishPtyShutdown` on a
non-already-gone error. That was eliminated by direct test: the implied fix,
`markSshRemotePtyLease(…, 'expired')` in that branch, was implemented, changed
nothing, and was reverted rather than shipped unproven. Recorded so the path is
not re-walked. The `SSH_SESSION_EXPIRED` rejection is real but fires during cycle
1 for the baseline pane, after which cycle 1 completes; the 60s silence begins
only after `Relay channel lost ..., triggering reconnect`.
The spec is claimed by the Docker-SSH lane, and that lane does not gate merges
today.
## Persistence: the tombstone must survive a relaunch
`closedTerminalTabTombstonesByTabId` is declared on `WorkspaceSessionState` but was missing from
`workspaceSessionStateSchema` (`src/shared/workspace-session-schema.ts`), which is the load boundary
for BOTH partitions -- `normalize-loaded-state-collections.ts` for `local` and
`workspace-session-partitions.ts` for `ssh:<target>`. Zod strips unknown keys and the write side does
not validate, so the map reached disk and was discarded on the next launch. Measured with the repo's
own parser:
input : closedTerminalTabTombstonesByTabId: { 'tab-1': {...} }
ok = true
tombstones after parse = undefined
That made the fix ineffective in the exact reported scenario: close an SSH tab with the transport
down, QUIT, relaunch, reconnect -- the merge runs with an empty map, the host still lists the tab,
and it resurrects. "Every day I open orca and it opens more tabs" is a claim about restarts.
Neither the green oracle nor the A/B control could see it: both run entirely inside one app process.
It also made the 30-day TTL and the 500 cap unreachable.
Fixed by adding the field with a `salvagingRecord` matching its sibling
`terminalSurfaceTombstonesByPaneKey`, so one malformed entry drops that entry rather than the map.
`workspace-session-schema.ts` was one line under its 300-line max-lines limit, so adding the field
required room rather than a suppression (the project forbids max-lines disables and per-file bumps).
Two value schemas were extracted to modules named after what they contain:
`terminal-tab-id-schema.ts` and `terminal-surface-tombstone-schema.ts`. The closed-tab tombstone's
own schema is colocated with its type in `closed-terminal-tab-tombstones.ts`, which is where it
belongs -- omitting it from the session schema is exactly the drift that caused this bug.
`workspace-session-schema-field-coverage.test.ts` is the ratchet. Two sibling tables already pin
themselves with `satisfies Record<keyof WorkspaceSessionState, ...>`; this schema had no such guard
and is the one that fell behind. The new file adds both halves -- a `satisfies` list that makes a
forgotten field a compile error, and a runtime assertion that names it -- plus a
`parseWorkspaceSession` round-trip. Without the schema entry: 3 failed. With it: 3 passed.
## A host tab the user never closed could be deleted
`tabId in closedTerminalTabTombstonesByTabId` answers true for every `Object.prototype` key even on
an EMPTY map, because the map is a plain object from `Object.fromEntries`. A host tab whose id is
`toString` was filtered from the reconciled list, blocked from the host-unknown branch, and stripped
of its layout and session id. Tab ids are validated only as non-empty and colon-free, and `createTab`
honours caller-supplied id hints, so the id is reachable rather than theoretical. This was the only
path in either direction that could delete a tab the user never closed.
Now `Object.hasOwn`, as the same file already uses elsewhere.
Suppression is also scoped structurally: `isSuppressedByClose` compares the tombstone's stored
`worktreeId`, which it already carried, so it cannot reach another workspace's tab. The two sweeps
that have no worktree in scope (`terminalLayoutsByTabId`, `remoteSessionIdsByTabId`) now consult the
set of ids this merge actually suppressed rather than re-deriving a verdict without that scope.
The scope comment at the top of the function was also wrong and is corrected. It claimed every use of
suppression sits inside `replaceWorktreeIds`; it does not -- the tabs pass walks all of
`orderedWorktreeIds` and the two sweeps cover the whole remote maps. What actually makes it safe is
that `closeTab` strips the id from every worktree row before recording the tombstone, plus the
worktree match above, plus `closeReason === 'user'` being the only writer. Real guarantee, different
from the documented one.
## Divergences from open PR #16571#16571 implements the same concept. Three deliberate changes:
1. It never retires on acknowledgement -- TTL+cap only, so it never converges.
Ack retirement added.
2. It crosses the wire and lets a HOST-sourced tombstone delete a LOCAL tab in a
final whole-map sweep. After #14361 that is the wrong risk; dropped. This also
removes the mixed-version regression its own body flags.
3. Its hydration unions rather than replaces the map -- a union resurrects every
tombstone the merge just retired, so it never converges.
Its `activeTabId` nulling is also dropped as redundant:
`workspace-terminal-hydration.ts:99-105,126-138` already revalidates both
pointers against the tab rows it just built, and nulling twice would add a second
rule that has to stay in step with the first.
## Can a tab the user did NOT close disappear?
No, but the guarantee needs stating precisely. The only writer is
`recordClosedTerminalTabTombstone` (`terminal-tab-close.ts:69`), reachable only
on `closeReason === 'user'`; suppression additionally requires the tab not be live
locally. Reopen (`recently-closed-tabs.ts:122-166`) calls `createTab` and restores
cwd/shell/title/color/position, never the old id.
**Caveat, stated because the slogan is not literally true:** `createTab` honours a
caller-supplied id hint (`terminal-tab-creation.ts:53-65`, used by `useIpcEvents`
for host-admitted tabs), so "tab ids are uuids that never recur" does not hold in
this codebase. The guarantee rests on the `closeReason === 'user'` writer plus the
live-local-tab check, not on id uniqueness.
## Risk
Renderer-side, client-local, no wire change. The blast radius is
`mergeDirectSshRemoteWorkspaceSession` and the persisted session field. Worst case
if the ack logic were wrong in the retiring direction: a tombstone outlives its
usefulness and suppresses a host tab whose id the host re-issues -- bounded by the
live-local-tab check, the 30d TTL and the 500 cap. Worst case in the other
direction is today's behaviour. `profile-project-session-field-disposition.ts`
records the new field as `notRepoScoped` / `notTransferred` residue, bounded by
the same TTL and cap.
## Verify
pnpm test src/shared/closed-terminal-tab-tombstones.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/workspace-session-closed-tab-tombstones.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/store/terminals/terminal-tab-close-tombstone.test.ts \
src/renderer/src/hooks/remote-workspace-session-merge-close-tombstones.test.ts
To reproduce the bug this fixes, set `isSuppressedByClose` to `() => false` in
`remote-workspace-session-merge.ts` and run
`pnpm test:e2e:ssh-docker -- tests/e2e/ssh-lost-kill-tab-resurrection.spec.ts --repeat-each=2`.
Two client behaviours read local tab rows as the verdict on what the execution
host is running. Before the host answers, "I hold no pane for this" is
`unverifiable`, not `exited` -- the collapse
`docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md` forbids.
Symptom 1, seeding. `worktree-initial-terminal-seeding.ts:47,128` seeds a
terminal when `renderableTabCount === 0`. Its only bail-out (`:72-77`) covered
the paired-web-runtime flavor -- "while that session is live the host owns
terminal creation" -- with no equivalent for direct SSH. So a client that has
never held the workspace runs the predicate during the hydration gap and creates
a tab from nothing. The snapshot then arrives, the merge rightly keeps the tab it
was never told about, and the union uploads as the new host truth. Measured on a
fresh client against a host owning 3 tabs: **1 tab created from nothing, 0 of the
host's 3 adopted.** (A restart never reaches the predicate -- local state
restores the row first -- which is why restart-only repros came back flat.)
That guard was also the wrong question. It asked "am I a client of a live paired
session?", which a host desktop window answers "no" and a paired client answers
"yes", so both seeded -- #15556.
Symptom 2, sleeping-agent resume, and the data-corrupting half.
`Terminal.tsx:1554` calls `resumeSleepingAgentSessionsForWorktree` twenty lines
after the seeding call at `:1529-1534` -- same startup path, same pre-hydration
window, and not SSH-gated at all. Seeding produces a spare empty tab; the sweep
launches `claude --resume <id>` for a session still running on the remote and
still owned by a live pane. Two agent processes writing one transcript; STA-3498
observed five. STA-3500 files exactly this race. Failure is asymmetric: declining
to resume is user-recoverable, a duplicate resume corrupts a transcript
irreversibly.
`workspace-terminal-host-authority.ts` answers the one ownership question both
paths ask, in the three-verdict vocabulary the renderer already uses for host
terminal inventory (`HostLiveTerminalProbeVerdict`, aliased rather than restated
so the two cannot drift): `live` (a remote host owns creation here),
`unverifiable` (there is a remote host and it has not answered), `none` (local,
or the host answered and holds nothing). Seeding requires `none`; the sweep
declines on `unverifiable` without consuming its one-shot, so the agents are not
stranded for the session once the verdict lands.
Shape notes:
- An ownership question, not a client-liveness one -- that is what fixes#15556.
- Folder workspaces resolve to `none`: the snapshot replaces exactly
`DirectSshTargetScope.gitWorktreeIds`, so a folder's rows are never replaced by
the host and waiting for an answer that will never name them would leave it
terminal-less for good.
- A `conflict` sync phase is `unverifiable`, matching the pair
`use-app-session-persistence.ts` already gates uploads on.
- Explicit launch work (setup/issue commands) stays ungated -- that is a request
to create a terminal now.
- `Terminal.tsx` subscribes through a retained selector rather than reading in
the effect: the verdict flipping to `none` is what must re-run the passes, and
resolution walks the owner catalogs, so recomputing per store write would be
the STA-3363 render-path multiplier again.
The `unverifiable` verdict is BOUNDED, and must be. `remoteWorkspaceHydratedTargetIds` is add-only
in practice -- `markRemoteWorkspaceHydrated` has two production call sites, both on success paths,
and `clearRemoteWorkspaceHydrated` has NONE. Four paths return without marking: local-hydration
timeout (`remote-workspace-target-sync.ts:136-145`), a null `remoteWorkspace.get` (`:160-169`), a
falsy apply token (`:172-185`), and never connecting at all. Without a floor, any of them would
leave every git worktree on that target `unverifiable` for the rest of the app session: no initial
terminal, no sleeping-agent resume, escapable only by creating a tab by hand. That is strictly worse
than the behaviour it replaces -- on main the user got a terminal. So a sync that terminates in
`offline` or `error` without ever hydrating resolves `none`: declining to seed is meant to be a
wait, not a permanent refusal. `pulling` still declines, and a target that HAS hydrated stays `none`
even if a later sync errors.
Scope, stated because the doc comment previously overstated it: this gate is
first-hydration-per-target, not per-connection-generation. Since nothing clears the flag, a
disconnected target that hydrated once reads `none`. It does not cover mid-session reconnect or
sleep/resume.
The memo's input list is checked for COMPLETENESS, not just membership. `satisfies readonly
(keyof State)[]` only proves each listed key exists; a field added to the state and forgotten from
the list would type-check while making the memo return a stale verdict -- silent, and it looks like
"the gate did not fire". A conditional type now names the missing key at compile time. Deliberately
not `const x: Missing[] = []`, which passes regardless because an empty array literal is assignable
to every array type.
Known limitation, stated rather than hidden: the SEEDING half of this change has no measurable
end-to-end effect today, and the branch's own e2e spec says so.
`applyDirectSshRemoteWorkspaceSnapshot` calls `markRemoteWorkspaceHydrated` unconditionally AFTER
the hydrate calls -- including when they wrote nothing. So in the same tick adoption yields zero,
the verdict flips `unverifiable` -> `none`, `Terminal.tsx` re-runs the effect, and it seeds. The
gate cannot outlive the failure it guards against, because the same function that fails to adopt is
the one that lifts it.
`ssh-cold-hydration-gap-tab-seeding.spec.ts:218` is named for what it asserts -- one tab, adopted
none -- rather than for the behaviour we want. The fixme at `:293` pins the intended behaviour.
Making the seeding half effective needs hydration resolved PER WORKTREE (or a refusal to say `none`
when the completed apply's `replaceWorkspaceKeys` did not name this worktree) rather than a
per-target "some apply finished" flag. That is deliberately not in this commit.
The RESUME half is the valuable half and is unit-proven: it declines while the host is unanswered
and wakes the same session once the verdict lands, without consuming its one-shot. Preventing one
duplicate `claude --resume` on a live transcript is worth more than preventing one spare tab --
declining to resume is user-recoverable, a duplicate resume corrupts a transcript irreversibly.
Before: 7 failed | 3 passed. After: 10 passed; 103 across the seeding, resume,
authority and remote-workspace suites.
The Docker-SSH e2e lane only ran when a PR's changed specs happened to include
`ssh-startup-exec-readiness.spec.ts` or `paired-startup-exec-readiness.spec.ts`.
Editing SSH source itself did not trigger it, and pruning either spec from a
route's list would have silently retired the whole lane. Meanwhile the sharded
lanes set no `ORCA_E2E_SSH_DOCKER`, so every Docker-gated spec skipped itself
while the shard still reported green -- the exact silent-skip shape
`docs/reference/ssh-reconnect-source-recovery.md` blames for four regressions
that reached users.
Separately, the modules that actually own direct-SSH workspace and tab restore
carry no "ssh" in their names, so the `ssh-terminal-source` route never reached
them. Measured on the real script before this change:
printf '%s\n' src/renderer/src/hooks/remote-workspace-session-merge.ts \
src/main/ipc/remote-workspace-snapshot-normalization.ts \
src/renderer/src/lib/worktree-initial-terminal-seeding.ts \
src/shared/remote-workspace-session-projection.ts \
| node config/scripts/pr-e2e-source-routing.mjs
=> []
Three changes, all pinned by the executable gate contract:
- `hasSshSourceChange` derives an `ssh_source_changed` signal from the SSH
routes themselves, plumbed pr.yml -> e2e.yml, so the lane triggers on source
rather than on a spec name surviving in a list. One list, so the two cannot
drift.
- A sibling `ssh-workspace-session-restore` route names the restore seams
(`remote-workspace-*`, `worktree-initial-terminal-seeding`,
`worktree-default-terminal-tabs`, `initial-terminal`) and routes them to the
two restore specs -- a sibling rather than more paths on `ssh-terminal-source`
so a tab-tombstone edit does not run the whole SSH terminal list.
- A new `test:e2e:ssh-docker` runner claims the remaining Docker-gated specs on
the one VM that sets the flag, and the contract now fails by name when any
Docker-gated spec is claimed by no runner. `ssh-docker-relay-perf` and
`ssh-codex-display-artifacts-repro` are recorded exemptions (wall-clock
budgets; needs a real remote codex binary) and the contract asserts each
exemption still corresponds to a real gated spec, so a stale one cannot
quietly excuse a gap. Lane timeout raised 35 -> 60 minutes for the added
serial specs.
The lane's first act was to surface four latent bugs in a spec that had been
silently skipping. `ssh-docker-bulk-open-freeze-repro.spec.ts` is four call sites
out of date against `tests/e2e/helpers/terminal.ts`: `startDockerSshRelayTarget()`
is called with no argument though the helper dereferences `testInfo.workerIndex`
(a 100% failure, not a flake), `execInTerminal` gained a `ptyId` parameter, and
`splitActiveTerminalPane` gained a direction. It was invisible because it ran
nowhere and `typecheck:e2e` is red on main with 240 pre-existing errors, so four
more could not be seen.
The `testInfo` bug is fixed here -- correct on its own, and it removes one real
error from `typecheck:e2e` (240 -> 239). The other three are not, because they
are not argument plumbing: repairing them requires choosing which ptyId to
capture and which split direction to use, and both change what the repro
measures.
The spec is therefore added to the exemption list rather than repaired, for two
independent reasons recorded in the runner: it is a perf oracle, not a
correctness one (`SOFT_FREEZE_LAG_MS=2500` / `HARD_FREEZE_LAG_MS=5000` measured
under a deliberate 5-pane flood on a 420s budget -- the same rule already applied
to `ssh-docker-relay-perf.spec.ts`), and it is known-rotted. Repair is tracked in
stablyai/orca#16764. Applying an existing written rule to a sibling that plainly
meets it is consistency; inventing a new exemption to dodge a red would not be.
Three hardening fixes to the contract itself:
- Runner text is comment-stripped before the claimed-by-a-lane scan. A substring
scan over raw text lets a spec merely *discussed* in a runner comment count as
claimed -- the silent skip this assertion exists to catch, re-entering through
the documentation. Not live today only because the existing comments write the
spec names without their `tests/e2e/` prefix.
- An exempt spec must not be invoked by any runner. `unreachableSpecs`
short-circuits the unclaimed check, so a spec could be documented as exempt
while a runner still ran it -- an exemption that reads as coverage removal but
changes nothing, leaving the lane red for a reason the file says it excluded.
This is not hypothetical: adding the bulk-open exemption without removing it
from the runner's spec list produced exactly that state, and this assertion is
what caught it.
- The Docker-gate detector is now `/ORCA_E2E_SSH_DOCKER\s*[!=]==\s*['"]1['"]/`
rather than one fixed string, so a double-quoted or `!==` spelling can no
longer escape the contract.
`ssh-restart-tab-accumulation.spec.ts` is a new three-cycle restart fence
asserting tab-id set identity, not just the active pane's reclaimed ptyId as
`ssh-cold-activation-restore.spec.ts:241` did. It passes today; it was validated
by a negative control that injected one tab after cycle 1 and correctly failed.
Previously nested details blocks were preserved as inert passthrough HTML.
Now, nested details that themselves meet editability criteria are opened as
editable toggle nodes. Recursive validation includes a 16-level nesting limit
to prevent stack exhaustion on pathological input. Refactors common markdown
editor test helpers into a reusable fixture module.
* fix(macos): opt out of press-and-hold so held keys repeat (#14746)
macOS routes press-and-hold to the accent picker unless an app sets
ApplePressAndHoldEnabled=false for its own bundle, so holding j in vim
inserted one character instead of repeating. Orca never set it.
Written at most once, and never over an explicit value: `defaults read`
is domain-scoped and exits 1 when the key is absent, which is the only
way to tell "unset" from a deliberate false — Electron's
systemPreferences.getUserDefault reports false for both. A recorded
decision in userData keeps a later launch from re-clobbering a user who
deletes the key to get the accent picker back.
* docs(macos): record the revert hazard and CI's macOS test gap
Two things a reader of this module cannot otherwise know.
A revert leaves the key written in every user's domain forever. AppKit reads
the plist, not this file, so removing the code alone keeps press-and-hold
disabled for everyone who ran an affected build. The sibling period-substitution
module carries the same warning because that fix was already lost once this way.
And the real-binary test file that pins the defaults(1) exit-code semantics this
design rests on never runs in CI: the e2e workflow and both unit-test jobs are
ubuntu and windows, and the only macOS runners in the repo are build and
packaging jobs that run no tests. Those six tests plus the real-bundle e2e case
pass on a developer Mac and execute zero times in a green PR, so the comment
should not imply enforcement that is not there.
Refs #14746
* feat(macos): let users turn the accent menu back on (#14746)
Orca disables press-and-hold for its own preferences domain so held keys
repeat. That is the right default, but the way back was a `defaults write`
buried in a source comment: nothing in docs/ or the README mentioned it, and
the preference is per-application, so it silently takes the accent picker
away from the Markdown editor and every other text field too.
Terminal -> Advanced now carries a "Character Accent Menu" switch, macOS and
desktop only. A web client cannot write a macOS preference for the machine the
user is looking at, so the control and its search-index entry are both gated on
that, not on the client's platform alone.
Precedence, which is the part that is easy to get wrong: the setting is
`undefined` until the user touches it, which is what keeps a hand-run `defaults
write` in charge for everyone who never opens the toggle. Once used, Orca owns
the key and writes exactly what the switch asks for -- `ApplePressAndHoldEnabled`
*is* the accent-menu switch, so it maps straight through with no inversion. The
choice is compared against `appliedSetting` in the existing decision record
rather than against the domain, so a `defaults write` made *after* using the
toggle is still the newer choice and survives the next launch. Re-asserting the
value every launch would have reintroduced the clobbering the record exists to
prevent.
The write lands for the next launch, since AppKit reads the preference as the
process starts, so the toggle shows the same restart banner the window-blur
setting uses. That banner is now a shared component, keeping its original
translation keys.
docs/reference/macos-press-and-hold.md records the precedence rules, the
`defaults read` rationale, the revert hazard, and the fact that none of this
executes in CI: every macOS job builds or packages and runs no tests, so the
real-binary and e2e coverage here passes only on a developer Mac.
* docs(macos): stop asserting when AppKit re-reads the press-and-hold key
Five places stated "AppKit reads the preference as the process starts" as
fact. That is the reason given for requiring a relaunch, and it is not
something this change ever measured.
Evidence points the other way: terminal emulators that register this key
after their process has started get key repeat in that same launch, which a
read-once-at-startup model cannot explain.
The relaunch requirement itself still looks right, but for a different and
verifiable reason: the write goes out through a separate `defaults` process,
so this app's own cached copy need not observe it. That is what the comments
now say, with the AppKit question left open rather than answered.
Refs #14746
* docs(macos): correct the startup comment's launch-timing claim
The comment said this call site is "the last point that can still matter for
this launch", which contradicts the rest of the module: the write is assumed
to land for the next launch because it goes out through a separate `defaults`
process. Reported on the PR by @innocarpe, who also supplied the replacement
wording.

* refactor(macos): probe press-and-hold through the shared spawn chokepoint
`src/shared/child-process/child-process-import-boundary.test.ts` forbids a
direct `node:child_process` import outside its allowlist, and the allowlist only
shrinks — so this module moves to `runProcessSync`, which exists for callers
that genuinely cannot await. This one runs before `app.whenReady()`.
`runProcessSync` returns a non-zero exit instead of throwing it, so the
three-way read decision is re-expressed against `ProcessResult`: exit 0 is an
explicit value, exit 1 is a missing key, and a timeout, a signal kill, any other
exit, or a child that never started all stay 'unknown'. The throw path is now
inside `interpretDefaultsRead` so a spawn failure is reachable from a test
rather than hidden in an untested catch, and the write checks the exit code —
a refused `defaults write` no longer looks like success.
Both boundary-test failures were the same import: with it gone the offender
count returns to 155, so no ratchet baseline is bumped.

* feat(browser): open target=_blank links and unnamed popups in new Orca t
- Treat target=_blank as a new-tab request matching browser behavior
- Route unnamed, featureless window.open() calls to Orca tabs instead of native popups
- Add rate limiting to prevent page-initiated tab loops
- Inherit session profiles when opening links to maintain isolation boundaries
* fix(browser): deny new-tab window.open when renderer is destroyed
Move deny action outside conditional to ensure new-tab intents are
safely rejected even if renderer vanishes mid-open, preventing native
popup fallthrough. Add test coverage and simplify comments.
* Share page-initiated tab budget across opener popup tree
Prevent pages from bypassing the new-tab rate limit by chaining popup
windows. The page-initiated tab quota is now shared by all popups in
an opener tree (root + named children), so child windows inherit their
root's budget instead of each getting a fresh allocation.
When Enter is pressed to confirm a rename, the input unmounts and its onBlur
handler fires as it detaches from the DOM. Without consuming this event, a
second commitRename call would attempt to rename against the old path. Setting
the cancel flag after capturing the new name causes the trailing onBlur to
return early, preventing the duplicate operation.
* fix(grok): stop Orca's Grok hooks from costing anything outside Orca
Orca registers Grok agent-status hooks in the global $GROK_HOME/hooks. Grok
loads that directory on every session, so a Grok run that Orca did not launch
still paid for the hook on every event, and Orca rewrote the file even after a
user had emptied it to opt out (#15518).
The registered POSIX command now guards on ORCA_PANE_KEY before doing anything.
That variable is part of the pane identity Orca injects into terminals it
launches, and unlike the port and token it never comes from the endpoint file,
so it is present exactly when the session belongs to Orca. A standalone session
short-circuits without spawning a shell for the managed script at all. The same
guard is applied to the remote install, because a remote host runs standalone
Grok sessions too.
PreToolUse is no longer registered. It is a blocking hook, so Orca sat on the
critical path of every tool call and doubled the per-tool spawns, for a
transition PostToolUse already reports.
Windows cannot use the guard: the command there must be a single spawnable
token, so it is a bare script path with no shell to evaluate a test. For that
case the hooks are removed when Orca quits -- locally, on WSL guests, and on
connected SSH hosts -- and reinstalled on the next launch. A config the user has
emptied is left alone on startup; turning the setting back on in Settings is an
explicit and later choice, so that path reinstalls.
Removal is careful about what it is deleting. It strips only Orca's own entries,
keeps user-authored ones, and deletes the file only when no hook entries remain
-- keying that off the whole object would leave a stray non-hook key behind, and
the emptied-config check would then read that remnant as a deliberate opt-out
and never reinstall. A config the user has symlinked into a dotfiles repo is
written through rather than unlinked, and is exempt from the emptied-config
check for the same reason: after a quit it is a file Orca emptied, not one the
user did.
Writes go through temp+rename. Grok refuses to build a sandbox profile for a
hook JSON with more than one hard link, so publishing by hard link would fail
any session that started during the write.
Install and removal on remote hosts now read the platform from the same field.
They did not, so a Windows remote whose bridge env was incomplete had hooks
installed and never removed.

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.
* Add all-host automations with scoped ownership and multi-authority suppo
Enable automations to run on multiple hosts (SSH targets and local) with
owner-fenced mutations, scoped list queries per host, and conflict
resolution. Introduces desktop and runtime authorities as distinct
automation storage owners, with per-host caching, invalidation, and
retry scheduling on the renderer. Captures registration generations for
SSH hosts to survive re-adoption. Adds CLI support for destination
selection and conflict recovery.
* Filter automation create projects by destination host
Only offer projects available on the selected destination, preventing
the mismatches that would fail at submit time. Auto-adjust the project
selection if it becomes unavailable when the destination changes.
* Add runtime storage authority support for automations
- Support both runtime and desktop as automation storage authorities
- Make owner preconditions optional for legacy-client compatibility
- Cache automation list projections to improve performance
- Add per-row repo/worktree resolution for cross-authority collisions
- Extend automation.list RPC to always include owner metadata
* Replace child_process.execFile with runProcess for external automations
- Migrate external-manager to use cross-platform runProcess wrapper per child-process safety policy
- Abstract electron app/ipcMain APIs in orca-runtime via environment accessors
- Install fake app environment in automation tests for consistent setup
- Reorganize imports to use specific module paths (ssh-target-registry, agent-detection, browser-error)
- Remove external-manager from child-process import allowlists (no longer violates direct import)
* Unify desktop automation CRUD onto the local runtime RPC surface
The desktop authority now speaks the same automation.* RPC contract as
remote runtimes, via callRuntimeRpc({kind:'local'}) -> runtime:call ->
the shared RpcDispatcher. The automations:list/listRuns/create/update/
delete/runNow IPC arms, their preload members, and every renderer
desktop-vs-runtime transport fork are retired; the runtime methods are
the single implementation of scoped lists, owner fencing, and change
publication for both transports (mobile clients already exercised them).
The desktop probe scheduler's priority lease survives the move as an
AutomationService hook the IPC registration installs and the runtime
methods take, so Orca's own automation traffic still parks queued
external-manager probes.
External-manager scope arms and dispatch-loop plumbing stay on IPC by
design; automation change events keep their existing channels (renderer
ingestion already converges them by authority).
* Remove automation ghost SSH tombstone scanning
This functionality for synthesizing tombstones for automation-referenced SSH
targets is no longer needed as part of the automation system refactoring.
* Refuse orphan automations at dispatch time, not migration time
Remove migration-time disabling of orphan automations and the `enabledDecidedBy` field. Dispatch now refuses orphans at runtime instead, simplifying state management and UI. Orphans are left unstamped and enabled; dispatch refuses to run them via `resolveAutomationRunTarget`.
* Show all automations in flat table with unified filter menu
- Replace host picker component with comprehensive Filters menu supporting status, last run, agent, and host filters
- Flatten automation list layout to single table instead of host-grouped sections
- Add Host column to display execution host for each automation
- Display active filters as removable pills below toolbar
- Delete unused AutomationHostPicker* components
* Add automation owner fencing and destination validation
- New AUTOMATION_OWNER_FENCING_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY for owner preconditions; legacy clients get owner metadata snapshotted at RPC boundary for compatibility
- Editor captures and revalidates automation destination before save, preventing silent retargeting if SSH infrastructure changes mid-edit
- SSH target types now isolate renderer-authored fields; generation is server-owned and stripped by IPC handlers
* Route automation recovery actions to the origin host
When an automation action fails due to owner fencing, recovery verbs
("Update server", "Reconnect") must run on the host where the refusal
originated: the row's captured owner for row operations, or the
destination the create dialog captured, not the list's filtered host.
* Remove external manager scope limitation notices
Consolidate create destination eligibility checks with a unified predicate
and fix the bug where desktop repo IDs could be sent to runtime hosts where
they cannot resolve.
* Persist only store-derived automation contexts, not client-perspective o
Store contexts must never be based on client-provided runContext or sourceContext
values—clients speak a different perspective (e.g., 'runtime:<id>' for host IDs
they assign), and persisting those makes the store projection orphan automations
it actually owns. Derived contexts now take precedence in create and update paths,
with explicit null still honored to clear a value. Tests verify this by simulating
drift after storage and confirming that moves re-derive while toggles preserve.
* test: use explicit baseline for cross-version browser placement test
Pin to v1.4.184 to ensure consistent testing against the release
predating client placement. This avoids coupling the legacy-baseline
bump to unrelated schema refactors in newer versions.
* fix(windows): treat inaccessible processes as alive in tests
When checking process state on Windows, EPERM (permission denied) indicates
an inaccessible but live process. Only ESRCH (process not found) proves
exit. Correct isAlive() to distinguish these cases.
Also add windowsHide:true to child process spawns and use explicit SIGKILL
when force-killing the host process.
* Clarify upstream divergence stats for rebased branches
When a branch is rebased, it still tracks the pre-rebase upstream
while comparing against the new base. Move upstream arrows to the
head line to prevent them being confused with compare-base counts.
* Show upstream divergence stats independent of compare base
Measure HEAD against upstream regardless of compare-base state,
so divergence indicators stay visible even when comparison is
missing, loading, or failed. Also use cross-platform temp paths
in tests.
* Show commit counts against compare base, not upstream
Upstream divergence (↑/↓ against tracking branch) was confusing for
rebased branches — the counts appeared beside the base ref but measured
against the upstream branch. Show only the compare base count instead,
on the line that names it.
* Report branch divergence in both directions
Rebased branches are typically ahead AND behind their base; a single count
hides this case. Use symmetric range with --left-right --count to capture
both directions efficiently, then expose commitsBehind in the UI alongside
commitsAhead.
* Use semantic names for i18n keys and template variables
Rename hash-based translation keys to descriptive identifiers and replace generic value0/value1 placeholders with semantic variable names like `count` and `ref`. Improves code maintainability and makes translation strings self-documenting.
* fix: route terminal file links to sibling workspace tabs
Detect when a clicked file is already open in a sibling workspace and route
to that existing tab instead of creating a duplicate. Reorganizes workspace
activation to dispatch by both worktree id and execution host, allowing the
same worktree name across different remotes to be disambiguated and routed
correctly.
* test: validate terminal file link opens in correct sibling worktree
Enhance test to check both file path and active worktree ID, ensuring
the linked file opens in the intended sibling workspace.
* fix(browser): focus unified tab on browser page palette activation
When activating a browser page from the palette, find and focus the
corresponding unified tab before setting active state. Ensures the
tab group receives focus. Also increase e2e test timeouts to improve
stability on slower runners.
* test(e2e): read latest restored terminal frame
* Fail browser page activation when unified tab is missing
Without a unified tab, the workspace can't render in the pane. Reporting
success leaves the previous tab on screen. Fail the activation to prevent
this confusing state.
* fix(terminal): collapse identity group in the title churn signature
Replaces the ingest-time title rewrite from #16373 with a non-destructive
fix at the actual cause.
The churn suppressor `isDecorativeAgentTitleFrameChange` keyed on the
literal label, so `working:OMP` and `working:Pi` compared unequal and every
alternating frame from a wrapped harness committed a store patch. #16373
made the labels agree by rewriting the stored title to the tab's launch
owner — but `runtimePaneTitlesByTabId` is also the Windows Shift+Enter
byte-encoding input, so normalizing at ingest destroyed evidence other
consumers read (fixed separately in #16376).
Collapse the identity group inside the signature instead. Which member of
a group a frame names is decoration, exactly like the spinner glyph the
signature already strips, so frames compare equal without touching what is
stored. Suppression now changes only WHETHER a frame commits, never WHAT
it says.
Also fixes the flap under a multiplexer (#8032): the collapse runs over
wrapper segments, so "zsh | ⠋ Pi" and "zsh | ⠙ OMP" compare equal, which
the anchored owner-relabel in #16373 never matched.
Reverts the store changes from #16373 and drops the helper it added.

* fix(terminal): fold only bare identity frames into the group token
A legacy "π - <session> - <cwd>" title is Pi-compatible too, so folding
every profile match collapsed two different sessions to the same signature
and suppressed the change outright — reintroducing #16093 through the
churn signature.
Fold only exact bare identity frames, matched per wrapper segment, so
semantic session titles keep comparing on their own text.

* docs(terminal): correct the flap diagnosis in the repro header
Verified against the OMP source: it emits only π-glyph frames
(`DEFAULT_TERMINAL_TITLE = "π"`, title-generator.ts:25), and on an
Orca-hosted pane its native titler cedes to Orca's own injected extension,
which writes `⠋ π - <session> - <cwd>`.
So OMP emits neither "OMP" nor "Pi". Both flap sides are Orca's:
"OMP" from driveSyntheticTitleFromHook, "Pi" from normalizeTerminalTitle
collapsing our own extension's output to a hardcoded literal.
The prior header credited the wrapped harness for frames it never sends,
which is the same wrong narrative that produced eight fixes at eight
layers. No behavior change.
* fix(terminal): stop Orca mangling the OMP/Pi title it writes itself
Verified against the OMP source: it emits only π-branded frames
(`DEFAULT_TERMINAL_TITLE = "π"`, title-generator.ts:25), and on an
Orca-hosted pane its native titler cedes to Orca's OWN injected extension,
which writes `π - <session> - <cwd>` / `⠋ π - <session> - <cwd>` at 80ms.
So neither flapping string came from OMP. Orca made both:
"Pi" — normalizeTerminalTitle collapsing our extension's output to a
hardcoded literal, discarding the session name and cwd (#16093)
"OMP" — driveSyntheticTitleFromHook injecting over it every 80ms
Fixed at the source:
- normalizeTerminalTitle canonicalizes only the rotating braille frame and
keeps the rest, in both spinner positions and through a multiplexer
prefix (#8032). Status still round-trips through normalization.
- detectAgentStatusFromTitle reads the π state separator, so `π ! <label>`
is permission instead of the blanket idle that hid a blocked agent.
- normalizeCompatibleAgentTitleForOwner swaps only the brand for the
owner's label, so a pane still reads as its launch owner (#6689, #7633,
#9077) without losing the session text.
- pi/omp set synthesizeWorkingTitle: false — the agent animates its own
working title. Terminal states still synthesize; they carry the pane's
agent identity downstream.
Reverts the ingest-time title rewrite from #16373, whose normalization of
runtimePaneTitlesByTabId also changed Windows Shift+Enter bytes (#16376).

* fix(terminal): match the state separator only in exact profile casing
The separator check runs on every title, so `omp - deploy notes` and
`pi - refactor the parser` read as an idle agent. The owner rewrite only
ever emits the exact profile labels, so dropping case-insensitivity keeps
`OMP - tmp` classifying while ordinary prose stops matching.
Co-authored-by: Seongho.Bak <49228032+psh4607@users.noreply.github.com>
* test(terminal): pin one real OMP turn to two committed patches
Drives 30 working frames as Orca's injected extension emits them plus the
idle transition, and asserts what survives the churn gate. Before the fix
every frame alternated "⠋ Pi"/"⠋ OMP" and each one committed — ~12 store
patches per second on a working tab.
Co-authored-by: Seongho.Bak <49228032+psh4607@users.noreply.github.com>
* fix(terminal): carry the permission guard inside the separator reader
`-` is both a π state separator and the delimiter in the synthetic
permission label, so `OMP - action required` read as idle. It resolved
correctly only because detectAgentStatusFromTitle happens to check the
synthetic label first — and the separator fn is exported, so a direct
caller inherited the bug.
Also pins the owner rewrite's fixed-point property, which holds only
because getAgentLabel does not tokenize omp/pi, and corrects a comment
that overstated how tightly the brand swap is scoped.

* docs(terminal): name the flag the code actually sets
The suite header cited `synthesizeTerminalTitle: false`; the profiles set
`synthesizeWorkingTitle: false`. The distinction is the whole reason the
narrower flag was chosen — terminal-state frames still carry the pane's
agent identity downstream — so the wrong name buried the rationale.

* Add keyboard shortcut for workspace deletion
Default Mod+Shift+Backspace (⌘⇧⌫ on Mac) lets users delete the hovered
worktree or folder workspace immediately. The shortcut targets the
sidebar hover state rather than requiring focus, and avoids terminal
pane D-based split shortcuts on all platforms.

* Omit delete shortcut from disabled Delete Worktree for primary checkout
- Remove shortcut badge from the disabled "Delete Worktree" action when it cannot be executed

- Extract host identity parsing into reusable helper function to prevent inline string manipulation
- Fix folder workspace deletion to use correct host-qualified identity comparison

Unqualified identities must stay undefined rather than defaulting to
'local'. Destructive operations depend on correct host identification.

* test(e2e): gate the tab-bar agent launcher on Windows shells and WSL
The `+` menu agent launcher had no golden coverage in the Windows lane, so a
Windows-only break anywhere in its chain (detection row, startup-plan build,
tab create, PTY spawn, startup-command injection) could ship unnoticed.
Adds a golden spec that launches a stub agent from the menu and asserts the
agent's own banner reached the pane — a tab that spawned a bare shell instead
is indistinguishable at the store/tab layer. Runs two agents everywhere, and
on Windows also PowerShell, cmd, Git Bash and a WSL project runtime.
* test(e2e): track WSL stub agent staging state for precise cleanup
Refactor `stageWslGoldenStubAgent` to track which artifacts it creates
during setup, then only remove those artifacts during cleanup. This
prevents the test from destructively removing pre-existing symlinks or
state from previous runs, improving test isolation and idempotency.
* test(e2e): track WSL stub agent staging state for precise cleanup
- Back up and restore pre-existing stub agents to avoid destroying them
- Simplify verbose test comments to match project style guidelines
* test(e2e): serialize WSL stub agent setup with distributed lock
- Add mkdir-based lock to prevent concurrent staging invocations
- Reclaim stale locks after 10 minutes to recover from crashes
- Track lock ownership in stage state for safe cleanup
* test(e2e): track WSL stub agent staging state for precise cleanup
Track which stubs this test helper stages by writing a marker file, then
only remove stubs during stale-lock recovery if we created them. Prevents
cleanup from removing stubs left by other processes.
* refactor: split pty-connection.ts under 400 lines
* rm design doc
* refactor(pty-connection): extract reattach payload handlers as factories
- Replace bindApplyReattachPayload with createReattachPayloadHandlers factory that returns handlers instead of mutating session directly, enabling better composability and testing
- Extract waitForUserInitiatedSshConnect as standalone function for reuse across deferred session attach flows
- Create ReattachPayloadSession type to document and isolate required session capabilities
- Add test coverage for overlapping reattach payload attempts
- Clean up comments to remove redundant prefixes (session.pane → pane, session.transport → transport)
* fix(pty-connection): correct sequencing and state bugs in spawn and reat
- Fix terminal tail slice to take prefix instead of suffix, preserving escape
sequence markers needed by next scan
- Clear pending pane serializer when direct SSH retry PTY is unclaimed
- Initialize interrupt status baseline to undefined so first input advances
sequence counter
- Bump reattach generation only after confirming current attempt owns the stream,
preventing superseded results from canceling in-flight prepaint

* fix(test): increase poll iterations to prevent Node 26 test leakage
Increase event loop turns from 40 to 200 in the timer settlement loop.
Node 26's libuv poll phase can briefly starve when concurrent workers
transform tests, causing cleanup to leak into the next test. The higher
iteration count ensures async operations complete before returning.
* fix(foreground-output-budgets): use >= for budget window boundary check
At the exact window boundary, the budget should roll over. Change the
comparison from > to >= so the window resets when now equals
windowStart + FOREGROUND_BUDGET_WINDOW_MS, not just after. Add tests
to verify budget rejection and rollover behavior.
* refactor(pty-connection): add status observations and routing improvemen
- Track agent status observations with origin and transition metadata
- Separate interactive redraw input timing from general terminal input
- Restore pane authority on bind and reattach
- Refine routing trust and confirmation state handling
- Invoke queued startup callbacks when PTY is bound
- Resolve Windows shell overrides with user settings
* refactor: extract resolveLaunchAgentCandidate helper
Consolidate duplicated launch-agent resolution logic into a shared helper to prevent future divergence between paneExpectsLaunchAgent and resolveExpectedLaunchTuiAgent.
* refactor(pty-connection): use model snapshot for direct SSH reconnects
Direct SSH reconnects now restore from the full SSH model snapshot (complete scrollback) when dimensions are compatible, instead of the bounded relay tail. Falls back gracefully when incompatible or alternate-screen was exited.
* refactor(pty): retry unverifiable SSH reattaches via preserved bindings
Preserve deferred SSH session IDs longer when they serve as the only retry binding,
allowing the system to attempt recovery through direct SSH retries or PTY remounts
when reattach fails in an unverifiable way. Simplify reconnect model restoration
by removing the conditional model snapshot probe and using relay replay directly.
* test: poll terminal readiness in expectSingleOwningPty
Retry the terminal list assertion with polling to account for timing
delays in PTY state reporting from the runtime.
* fix(status-bar): remove pet menu reserved space
* test(status-bar): add pet segment layout validation tests
- Unit test guards against pr-[6.5rem] padding reintroduction
- E2E test measures trailing overhang instead of total width delta
for more accurate layout validation
- Extract enableExperimentalPet helper for test clarity

* fix(runtime): classify tui-idle from the visible screen only
The adopted-PTY tui-idle probe added in #15569 read the provider snapshot as
`scrollbackAnsi + data`, and the Codex readiness classifier matches the startup
banner. For a daemon-hosted adopted worker — where the retained tail stays empty
forever — every wait re-probed and could resolve `satisfied: true` off banner
history while Codex was actively working, turning a loud timeout into a silent
false ready.
- probe now requests and parses the visible grid, never scrollback
- retirement of a timed-out provider acquisition is checked before the
re-acquire branch, so a wider row request can no longer resurrect a hung
provider
- probe builds its result before clearing the poll interval, so a stale handle
cannot leave the waiter with neither poll nor probe
Fixture follow-ups from the same review:
- resume legs pin the captured `launchConfig.agentCommand` to the fake instead
of bare `codex`, which resolved the machine's real Codex off PATH
- the command override is quoted for the Windows shell the runtime will actually
use, and specs pin that shell alongside the override
- fake agents acknowledge a bare submit after a short grace, so an unbracketed
delivery path fails with a diagnosable ACK instead of a suite timeout

* test: assert tui-idle probes serialize visible grid only
- Verify idle timeout probes exclude scrollback from serialization
- Add test case for Git Bash shell path quoting with apostrophes
- Simplify verbose test helper comments
* test: improve fake agent paste protocol validation
Refactor paste end detection to properly track both begin and end markers,
validate bracketed paste protocol (RFC 2544) through chronological event
sequencing, and emit correct error messages for protocol violations. This
ensures reliable detection of when pastes complete even when delivered
across multiple chunks, and correctly distinguishes between bracketed and
unbracketed paste modes.
* fix(runtime): reject provider snapshots when live output advances
Provider snapshots become stale when live output is received after the
snapshot is requested. Reject snapshots where the current output sequence
exceeds the snapshot sequence, preventing callers from consuming outdated
terminal state. Add tests verifying stale frame rejection.
* fix(composer): close the Create Workspace dialog on the first Escape
The modal copied the page-level "Esc blurs the focused field, then closes"
rule from TaskPage/Automations. On a page that rule protects a focus the
user chose; this dialog auto-focuses the name input on open, so its
capture-phase handler preventDefault'd every first Escape (which also
suppressed Radix's dismissal, since DismissableLayer skips a
defaultPrevented event) and the dialog could only be closed with two
presses.
Drop the Escape branch and let the dialog's dismissable layer own it.
Radix dismisses only the topmost layer, so nested popovers, selects and
dialogs still consume their own Escape first.
* test(e2e): pin the composer's auto-focus as the reason one Escape must close it
* test(e2e): extract paired client window reveal into helper
Paired clients launch hidden, parking runtime subscriptions. Playwright-driven
clients must be revealed to test actual user interactions. Extract the reveal
logic into a reusable helper with error handling and unit tests.
* test(e2e): handle crash dialogs and isolate collision fixture IDs
- Recover from recoverable UI error dialogs in selectRuntimeHost
- Give the same-ID collision fixture unique repo and worktree IDs to avoid
reusing the runtime repo's ID, preventing fixture leakage
- Simplify verbose comments for clarity
