Neil 314506003a fix: retain MSYS shell descendants in their terminal job (#19068)
* fix: retain MSYS shell descendants in their terminal job

* test: complete MSYS regression CI registration and teardown contract

* fix(windows): deny job breakaway for the whole Cygwin/MSYS shell family

The per-PTY job probed only msys-2.0.dll, and only for bash.exe/sh.exe.
Cygwin ships the same spawn.cc breakaway logic under cygwin1.dll, and an
MSYS2 zsh escapes exactly like its bash does, so both kept the orphan bug.

Probe the runtime DLL on the shell's own search path instead of matching
shell names: that is the property that decides whether the runtime will
ask for CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB, and it drops the name special-casing.

* chore(patch): restore the conpty.cc index line

The earlier hand-edit dropped it while every sibling section kept one.
Recomputed against the real blobs: applying this patch to 7b286d3d
yields exactly 4b06d185, so git apply -3 has its fallback back.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 1478101342 fix(windows): unblock structured native chat by exposing process creation time (#18986)
* fix(windows): guard process creation times

* fix(windows): ask the relay's bare addon for creation times too

The relay addon build now emits creationTimeMs, but the runtime binding
for the bare addon still declared only CommandLine, so a Windows relay
host requested flag 2 and every row came back without a creation time.
That leaves captureWindowsDescendantSnapshot returning null and
verifyWindowsProcessIdentity false forever on those hosts -- the relay
half of the patch was unreachable.

Naming CreationTime in the adapter is safe because the bare addon is a
content-hashed relay artifact: it ships in the same immutable relay
directory as the bundle reading it, so it can never be older than the
code asking for the bit.

Also bound the win32 guard test on our own row, which the addon can
never fail to answer, so an unconverted FILETIME or a 1601-epoch stamp
fails instead of satisfying a bare count.

* fix(windows): make the compiled addon prove its own CreationTime support

CI caught the real defect: the win32 guard test read
isWindowsProcessStartTimeAvailable() as true and then found 0 rows
carrying creationTimeMs. Unlike node-pty, this package publishes a
prebuilt .node at the same build/Release path node-gyp writes to, so
pnpm patches the source tree and leaves that binary alone. A host then
holds a patched lib/index.js -- ProcessDataFlag.CreationTime and all --
over a binary that ignores flag 4, and neither a load check nor a path
check can see the difference.

So the binary now says so itself: addon.cc exports
supportedProcessDataFlags, lib/index.js re-exports it, and

  - windows-process-tree-creation-time.cjs asserts it during install,
    which is what forces a from-source rebuild. It is shared by the Node
    probe in ensure-native-runtime.mjs and the Electron probe in
    rebuild-native-deps.mjs, exactly as node-pty-job-ownership.cjs is --
    the Electron half matters because that probe decides onlyModules, so
    without it the packaged app would ship the stale prebuilt.
  - isWindowsProcessStartTimeAvailable() gates on the reported bit, not
    the enum. Believing the enum is worse than reporting false: the
    descendant snapshot returns null forever and the exit proof latches
    unverifiable while structured chat believes it has a reaper.

rebuildNodeRuntimeModules could not actually have rebuilt this package:
the patched binding.gyp includes deps/node-addon-api, which the tarball
does not ship, and node-gyp must run from the physical dir.

Also closes the relay repair path's divergence: repairCreationTimeSources
wrote the C++ but not the buildNode splat or the tree-node typing, and
assertPatchApplied checked neither, so a repaired tree passed as patched
with buildProcessTree silently dropping the field.

The guard test is unchanged.

* fix(windows): keep the process-tree patch LF-only

windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs requires the patch file to
carry no CR bytes. Regenerating through pnpm patch-commit emitted 199 of
them, because the creation-time change is the first to touch files the
package ships as CRLF (src/process.h, src/process_worker.cc,
src/addon.cc, lib/index.js, lib/index.ts, the typings) -- and #17886's
own hunks over binding.gyp and src/process_commandline.cc carry the rest.

Stripping them is safe and changes nothing the lockfile records: pnpm
hashes patches CRLF-normalized, so the digest stays
e66202cc623996d02040c93449eb9ae353fddadf426cb53202a59ee710ee6fe7 and now
equals the file's plain sha256 too. It also still applies -- verified
against a deleted store entry, not a warm one -- and the precedent was
already there: the previous patch was LF-only and had been patching
those same CRLF files all along.

ensure-native-runtime.test.mjs stages the siblings the script loads at
module scope into its temp project. The import walk added by #17886 sees
`from './x.mjs'` only, so the createRequire'd .cjs siblings still have to
be named, and this PR adds a second one.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker c252d855ac fix(windows): resolve npm/pnpm .cmd shims past cmd.exe (#17869)
* fix(windows): resolve npm/pnpm .cmd shims past cmd.exe

A `.cmd` target forces every spawn through `cmd.exe /c` with each argument
caret-escaped, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint scores a long `cmd.exe /c`
line carrying caret-escaped natural language as obfuscation. `codex.cmd` is
named in the spawn cluster of the MDE incident this addresses.

npm's `cmd-shim` and pnpm's `@zkochan/cmd-shim` generate files whose whole body
is "find node, run this script". Read one, and the spawn can go straight to
`node.exe <script> <args>` — no cmd.exe, no caret escaping. Anything the parser
does not recognise exactly, or whose target cannot be confirmed on disk, keeps
the existing cmd.exe path.

Incidentally fixes a real bug: cmd ends its command at a raw CR/LF whatever the
quote state, so a multi-line agent prompt through a `.cmd` shim had to be
rejected. Resolved shims have no such limit.

* fix(windows): refuse drive-relative shim paths and run the win32 tests in CI

Two blocking findings from review.

A drive-relative path defeated the absolute-path guard:
`win32.isAbsolute('D:evil.js')` is false, but `win32.resolve` reads the drive
letter and lands on `D:\evil.js`, outside the shim directory. cmd would have
built `C:\shim\D:evil.js` and failed; we would have executed the wrong file.
Adding `:` to the unsafe-character set closes it, and the alternate-data-stream
spelling `a.js:zone` with it. It costs no coverage: 84 of the 91 real shims on
this box still resolve, the same seven fall back.

Neither `windows-cmd-shim-resolution.test.ts` nor its `.win32` sibling was in
the Windows package job's file list, so the whole filesystem/resolution half and
the real-spawn equivalence suite ran nowhere. Both are now in
`WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS` and in the pr.yml step.

Also from review: clear `windowsVerbatimArguments` explicitly on the resolved
branch rather than inheriting it, since there is no caller-built command line
there; document the kill switch and the PTY/hook-wrapper scope limits in
docs/reference; and cover drive-relative, BOM, line-ending, casing and `%*`
tampering in the platform-independent half of the tests.

* docs(windows): justify the shim-path colon guard from the filesystem rule

The guard was argued empirically ("none of the 91 shims on this box has one"),
which invites a future reader to relax it for a shim we have not seen. Windows
reserves `:` within a path segment, so a relative path cannot carry one at all:
the only spellings that can are drive-qualified, an alternate data stream, or a
`\?\` device path, and the last is already refused as absolute. That makes a
false refusal impossible rather than unobserved.

* refactor(child-process): move resolveSpawn into its own module

The merge with main pushed run-process.ts one line past the 300-line cap:
both sides grew it. The spawn-argv decision is already a pure, separately
tested unit, so it moves out rather than the cap moving up. run-process.ts
re-exports it, so no caller changes.

* perf(child-process): cache the shim interpreter lookup

The parse cache spared the shim read but not the PATH walk, so a second
resolution of the same .cmd did 0 reads and one statSync per PATH entry --
30 on a 30-entry PATH, synchronous on resolveSpawn, where one dead network
mount blocks the calling thread on every spawn.

Keyed by shim directory AND PATH, since the shim's own rule is
%~dp0\node.exe first then PATH, and a PATH edit between spawns must miss.
Corrects the stat comment, which accounted only for the shim itself.

* fix(child-process): revalidate a cached shim interpreter before using it

The node cache was held for process life and never rechecked, so a cached
node.exe that was later uninstalled -- or dropped from PATH by a version
manager -- was still handed to resolveSpawn, failing the spawn with ENOENT.
An uncached process in the same state returns null and falls back to
cmd.exe successfully, so the cache was strictly worse than no cache.

One statSync on a non-null hit, not one per PATH entry, so the walk this
cache exists to skip is still skipped. The stale-null direction stays
uncorrected on purpose: it only keeps the working cmd.exe fallback. Both
directions are now stated in the comment, along with the known miss for
callers that vary PATH per spawn.

* fix(child-process): honour PATHEXT when resolving the shim interpreter

The doc claimed a node.com/.bat/.cmd on PATH returned null and fell back to
cmd.exe. The scan actually skipped those entries and kept looking for a
node.exe, so PATH=C:\A;C:\B with C:\A\node.com and C:\B\node.exe resolved to
B's node.exe while the shim runs A's node.com -- a different binary, chosen
silently, on the one axis this module must not get wrong.

The scan now follows cmd's rule: first PATH directory holding any PATHEXT
spelling wins, PATHEXT order decides within it, and only an .exe winner is
returned. Anything else gives up and keeps the cmd.exe path, which restores
the strict-subset-of-cmd property everywhere except the documented cwd case.

PATHEXT is read from the child's env and joined into the cache key, since it
now changes the answer. Costs one stat per PATHEXT entry per node-less
directory, paid once per process behind the cache.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two further self-inflicted problems, both measured:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* ci(windows): run the real-icacls DACL suite in CI

The win32 suite only self-skips off Windows, so it passed vacuously in
every lane. Register it the way the cmd-shim suite is registered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No assertion is relaxed -- the counts stay exact.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 975bbdedcc fix(windows): scan ports natively instead of encoded PowerShell (#17861)
* fix(windows): scan ports natively instead of encoded PowerShell

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint scored the relay's Windows port scan as
suspicious PowerShell plus network discovery (T1049). The command line was
`-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -EncodedCommand <base64>` around a
Get-NetTCPConnection/Get-Process join -- base64 next to a policy override is
the highest-weighted token pair on a PowerShell command line, and netstat only
ever ran as its fallback.

Invert the chain. `netstat.exe -ano` is now the primary reader and the owning
process name comes from the shared native process table, which exists to keep
PID lookups off PowerShell. The payload survives only as a last resort, and
without the override: execution policy gates script files, never `-Command`,
so nothing needed it (verified: `-ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Command` runs).

Drop `-p tcp` while inverting: on Windows that protocol name means IPv4 only,
so as a primary reader it would have hidden every `[::]` listener the payload
used to report. Names arrive as `sshd.exe` from the table and are published as
`sshd`, keeping the sshd filter and old clients' rendering intact.

Routes both spawns through runProcess, removing the file from the
child_process and windowsHide ratchets.

* fix(windows): read netstat state by shape and refuse a truncated table

Review of the port-scan inversion found two ways the new primary path could
be silently wrong, both of which would have kept the flagged PowerShell
payload running on exactly the hosts this change targets.

`LISTENING` is not in netstat.exe. It lives in System32\<locale>\netstat.exe.mui
and MUI selection follows the UI language, so the pinned-locale env in
relay-command-env.ts cannot reach it -- a German host prints `ABHOEREN` and the
word test parsed zero rows. The zero-listeners guard then read that as a
blocked reader and ran `Get-NetTCPConnection` every 12-30s forever, or returned
nothing at all where PowerShell is also restricted. Keep the word as the fast
path and, when it finds nothing over output that did contain TCP rows, re-read
by shape: only a listening socket has no peer. Measured on this host across all
four states present (LISTENING 47, ESTABLISHED 49, CLOSE_WAIT 29, TIME_WAIT
213): zero non-listening rows with a zero peer, zero listening rows without
one, and the same 47 rows parse after substituting the German state words.
Shape stays the fallback because `BOUND` also prints a zero peer.

Truncation was invisible: createOutputSink discards overflow, ProcessResult
carries no flag, so a capped read still exits 0 and its head still parses.
netstat orders IPv4 TCP, then IPv6 TCP, then UDP, so a host with tens of
thousands of TIME_WAIT rows would have lost every `[::]` listener -- the exact
loss dropping `-p tcp` exists to prevent, and one the zero-listeners guard
cannot see. Refuse the read instead. A `truncated` flag on the shared sink
would be cleaner and is left as a follow-up rather than widened into this PR.

Also: decline to wait on the shared process table once the request is aborted
(it takes no signal and must not be cancelled for other callers); note the
name lookup as best-effort, since a TTL-cached snapshot can hand a recycled
PID its previous owner name; log once on either fall-through, because both are
permanent and invisible when wrong; and drop a stderr assertion that any
PowerShell autoload banner would redden.

Correcting the cost claim in the previous commit: the aggregate win holds with
the native addon (netstat 21ms vs the retired payload 860ms at 532 processes),
not without it. The addon is optional, the snapshot TTL is 500ms and the scan
cadence is 12-30s, so a relay with no active agent pane never warms its own
cache and pays ~1.4s cold on the CIM path -- slower than what it replaced.

* fix(windows): log the port-scan fall-through on the relay diagnostic stream

Checked where this code actually runs before trusting the log. `console.warn`
did reach a file, but relayLogLine is the right call and the reasoning is worth
recording.

`scanWindowsListeningPorts` runs only in the detached relay daemon: relay.ts
returns early for --connect and --orca-cli, so PortScanHandler is reached only
through runRelayDaemon, and both launchers start it detached with a log file
(POSIX `> relay.log 2>&1`, Windows `1>relay.log 2>relay.err.log` via
Win32_Process.Create). installRelayLogRotation then wraps both streams into
relay.log, which is the file the documented diagnostics tail reads. Verified by
installing the real rotation over a temp path and reading the file back.

So the line surfaced -- but untimestamped, in a log whose format exists so
reconnect flaps can be correlated with the events around them (#7773).
relayLogLine is that format and the relay idiom in 41 other places, and
"since when has this host been stuck on PowerShell" is most of what this line
is for. The test spies on process.stderr to pin the stream and the ISO stamp
rather than just asserting something was called, since a fall-through logged
somewhere unread is the failure being guarded against.

Also fixes a comment that ended its own block early: `relay-*/relay.log` in a
doc comment contains `*/`.

* fix(windows): keep the dominant zero-peer state when reading a localized netstat

Shape alone promoted any zero-peer TCP row, not just listeners. `BOUND` and
`CLOSED` print a zero peer too, and on a localized host their state words are
exactly as unreadable as the listening one -- so a German host with listeners
plus one BOUND socket published a phantom listener. Reachable on an English
host too: with zero listeners a lone BOUND row is promoted AND, because the
result is then non-empty, it suppresses the blocked-reader fall-through.

Group the zero-peer rows by state word and keep only the largest group. A
transient BOUND or CLOSED socket cannot outnumber the listeners (51 against 0
on this host), so this removes the class rather than special-casing the words,
which would just be the localization bug again. An exact tie keeps every tied
group rather than guessing -- no worse than reading shape alone.

Verified against real netstat output: injecting a BOUND row into the localized
capture leaves the result identical to the English answer (47 rows, no phantom
65001). The new test has teeth -- reverting the grouping fails it and nothing
else.

Corrects two claims that were slightly wrong: the docblock said shape was the
fallback because BOUND prints a zero peer, which described the hazard without
saying it was unhandled; and a test comment said an English host "never sees a
bound socket", true only when it has at least one readable LISTENING row.

Also gates the fall-through log per reason instead of per module, so a host
that parses nothing today and truncates tomorrow reports both faults. Same
one-shot cost, and the vocabulary is two fixed strings so the set cannot grow.
That guard matters more than it looks: --log-file rotates stdout only, so the
file stderr can land in is unrotated.

* docs(windows): note the direction the zero-peer majority rule can fail in

The docblock described the tie case and stopped there, which reads as a
complete account of the limits when it is not: a majority rule inverts if the
majority is wrong, and enough transient zero-peer sockets would publish the
phantoms and drop the real listeners. Someone would reasonably have concluded
the rule was safe in both directions.

Trigger numbers and the repro stay in the PR discussion; the code only needs
the reader to know the rule has a direction, and the hatch (defer to the
PowerShell reader, which reads the state word instead of inferring it) since
that is the part a future editor would otherwise re-derive.

* ci(windows): run the real-netstat port scan suite in CI

The win32 suite only self-skips off Windows, so it passed vacuously in
every lane. Register it the way the cmd-shim suite is registered.

* test(windows): lower both child-process ratchets to the ground this PR took

Migrating the port scan off `node:child_process` onto `runProcess` drops
`src/relay/windows-port-scan.ts` from both allowlists, so both offender
counts fall by one. Each ratchet pins the count from below as well as
above, so a pin left above reality fails and re-opens room for the next
direct import to land for free.

* docs(windows): qualify the no-PowerShell claim on the netstat scan

The scan starts no PowerShell of its own, but no released relay carries the
optional `windows-process-tree.node` addon (only dev-channel-win-build.yml
builds it), so the shared process-table read falls back to a CIM scan that
forks one `powershell.exe`. The EDR win is the removal of the
`-EncodedCommand` / `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` shape, not the elimination of
PowerShell. Comment-only.

* docs(windows): record the identity-reader follow-up and the perf table's addon

attachWindowsProcessNames reads only `name`, so it should move to
`readWindowsProcessIdentityTable` once #17866 lands -- on that PR's detailed
reader it would open per-process handles for a field it discards. The reader
does not exist on this branch, so the call stays as-is with the follow-up
recorded rather than pulling #17866 in.

The process-table perf table's two Toolhelp32 rows assume the optional
`windows-process-tree.node` addon. The desktop bundles it; no released relay
does, so on an SSH host the CIM row is the operative number. Comment-only.

* docs(windows): state the CIM scan as the relay's normal path, not a fallback

No released relay carries the optional `windows-process-tree.node` addon --
release-cut.yml has zero references to it and only dev-channel-win-build.yml
builds it -- so the PowerShell CIM scan is what every SSH host runs. The
call-site docstring read as a conditional fallback standalone. Comment-only.

bfc6a262a7 fix(windows): read command lines from the kernel, not each process's PEB (#17886)
* fix(windows): read command lines from the kernel, not each process's PEB

MDE incident D scored Orca for suspicious memory activity: the vendored
`@vscode/windows-process-tree` recovered every process's command line by
opening it with `PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ` and chaining
three `ReadProcessMemory` calls through the PEB and
`RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS`. On a 750ms/2s cadence over the whole table that
is the credential-dumping primitive, whatever the intent.

Windows 8.1 added `NtQueryInformationProcess`'s `ProcessCommandLineInformation`
class (60), which returns the same string as a kernel-built `UNICODE_STRING`
under `PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION` alone. Electron's floor is Windows
10, so every supported OS has it. The PEB reader stays behind a process-wide
latch that only `STATUS_INVALID_INFO_CLASS`/`NOT_SUPPORTED`/`NOT_IMPLEMENTED`
can set; a pid that merely denied a handle does not re-arm it, because
`PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION` implicitly grants the limited right and so cannot
be obtained where the weaker open already failed.

The same hunk drops `PROCESS_VM_READ` from `GetProcessMemoryUsage` and
`GetCpuUsage`, which acquired it and never read an address space.

Measured on Windows 11 (514 processes), counted in-process by swapping the
addon's import table entries for counting stubs, per CommandLine scan:
`ReadProcessMemory` 1128 -> 0, desired access 0x0410 -> 0x1000, p50 12.7ms ->
9.3ms. Command lines were byte-identical on every process both readers
recovered (376/376, 379/379 across runs), including a 24,068-character argv
with quotes, non-ASCII and trailing whitespace, and a WOW64 target. Three
processes that refused the old rights granted the new one; none went the other
way.

* chore(deps): refresh the windows-process-tree patch hash in the lockfile

* fix(windows): drop the PEB fallback and detect the unpatched prebuilt

Review of #17886 found three ways the reader could still perform, or silently
resume, the primitive it exists to remove.

The class-missing latch was a permanent, process-wide, one-way downgrade back
to the PEB read, and any single target returning STATUS_INVALID_INFO_CLASS /
NOT_SUPPORTED / NOT_IMPLEMENTED could trip it. On an EDR-hooked ntdll -- the
entire premise of this change -- a hook that does not recognise class 60 would
have restored PROCESS_VM_READ plus three ReadProcessMemory per pid per scan for
the life of the process, unobservably, on precisely the machines this was
written for. The fallback is deleted rather than guarded: GetProcessCommandLine
now returns false and leaves the command line empty, which callers already
handle, so the addon imports no ReadProcessMemory at all.

That absence is what makes the property checkable on the artifact. The
published 0.8.0 tarball ships a loadable prebuilt built from unpatched source;
it is node-addon-api, so a bare require() accepts it, allowBuilds is false and
CI installs with --ignore-scripts, and a rebuild that soft-exits on a Windows
file lock leaves it in place. Source-text guards could never see it.
windowsProcessTreeAddonReadsProcessMemory() checks the compiled binary instead,
and is wired into the install check, the rebuild, and the relay build.

The repair itself never worked: `git apply` run inside a work tree prefixes
patch paths with the cwd-relative prefix, skips what does not match, and exits
0, so the branch always fell through to its own post-check throw. The package
dir is always under the project root, while the fixture that covered it was in
%TEMP%, outside any repo. Blinding git with GIT_DIR fixes it, and the test now
runs inside a real work tree.

Also from review: bounds-check the returned UNICODE_STRING against the
allocation (not the size the second query clobbers) and cap the probe so a
bogus length cannot bad_alloc a whole scan; test NT_SUCCESS explicitly; value-
initialize ProcessInfo, which left `memory` as stack garbage -- measured, 82
processes reported the same bogus working set; and correct a comment in
windows-process-table.ts that still described the command line as a PEB read.

Re-measured on Windows 11 (543 processes): ReadProcessMemory 1128 -> 0, with
the symbol absent from the import table so the IAT hook finds no slot to
count; desired access 0x0410 -> 0x1000 on all 543 opens; p50 13.5 -> 12.3ms;
405/405 command lines byte-identical including a 24,087-character quoted
non-ASCII argv and a WOW64 target; 3 processes recovered only by the new path,
0 only by the old.

* chore(deps): refresh the windows-process-tree patch hash in the lockfile

* test(scripts): stage a script's local imports into the native-runtime fixture

ensure-native-runtime.mjs gained an import of windows-process-tree-gyp-rebuild.mjs,
but the fixture copied only the script itself, so every case in the suite died
with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND before reaching its own assertions. copyScriptWithLocalModules
already walks a script's co-located imports for exactly this reason -- its own doc
comment names this failure -- so use it rather than listing files by hand.

The two Windows cases still fail here, on a missing node-pty ConPTY runtime that
also fails on main; this only stops a resolution error from standing in front of
whatever they were meant to catch.

* fix(windows): route a locked stale addon to the Windows file-lock message

`pnpm install` with Orca running aborted with a raw EPERM stack. The stale-binary
guard -- which deletes an addon that still imports ReadProcessMemory so a skipped
rebuild cannot use it -- ran outside the try whose catch classifies Windows file
locks, and whose message is literally "Close running Orca/Electron/dev processes
for this worktree": exactly this situation.

Measured rather than assumed: rmSync against a loaded (memory-mapped) addon throws
EPERM, and `force: true` does not help, since it only swallows ENOENT. Cold copies
of the same file delete fine. So the delete threw a page before the handler that
knows what it means.

Moving the guard inside the try is the whole fix; the classifier already matches
the EPERM text. The new case runs the real script against a temp project whose
stale addon is held open by a live child process, and fails against the old
placement with the raw `syscall: 'rm'` stack the report described.

* feat(windows): warn once when command-line recovery is refused host-wide

Removing the PEB fallback removed a total-defeat vector, but it left a cliff: if
NtQueryInformationProcess(ProcessCommandLineInformation) is refused -- a hooked
ntdll that does not know class 60 -- every command line comes back empty and
agent identity matching silently degrades to image names. The addon still loads
and still enumerates, so every health check the app has stays green. A cliff
nobody can see is the failure mode this area keeps producing.

The querying process is the unambiguous probe. A process can always open itself
with PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION, so its own command line coming back empty
means the query is refused for every process -- not that some target denied a
handle, which is normal for roughly a quarter of the table. Keying on our own row
rather than a fraction means no threshold to tune and no false positive on a
hardened box where most processes deny.

One warning per session, gated on the CommandLine flag actually being requested so
a future identity-only reader cannot trip it. The suite's own SELF fixture gains a
command line for the same reason: a self row without one is the alarm, not a
detail.

* fix(windows): check the relay's staged addon at load, and answer tri-state

Two gaps in the ReadProcessMemory check, both about what it does not see.

It only ever looked at node_modules/@vscode/windows-process-tree. A relay host
has no node_modules of ours: it loads ./windows-process-tree.node staged beside
the bundle. The relay build asserts the symbol on the artifact it produces, but a
bundle and the addon beside it redeploy independently, so a host that has not
taken a new bundle keeps whatever binary is already there -- and the published
prebuilt is node-addon-api, so it binds cleanly and then walks every process's
address space. loadWindowsProcessTree now checks that file too and refuses it,
falling back to the CIM scan: slower, but not the thing an EDR quarantines a host
for. The predicate is duplicated rather than imported, because the config-script
copy is install-time tooling that drags in node-gyp and child_process, and this
module is bundled into the app and the relay.

And it returned false for a binary that is not there. All three callers happened
to be safe, but the name read as a safety predicate, so a future caller would take
a missing binary as verified. inspectWindowsProcessTreeAddon() now answers
clean/unpatched/missing over an explicit binary path -- which is also what lets
the relay's staged addon be checked at all -- and each caller states which state
it acts on.

Both are covered by cases that fail against the old code: without the load-time
check the unpatched staged addon is bound and the CIM fallback never runs, and
with 'missing' folded back into 'clean' the absence case fails outright.

* test(windows): load the addon in beforeAll, not at collection time

loadAddon() ran while the file was being collected, so on a Windows checkout with
no built addon the require threw before any case existed and took the seven
patch-text cases down with it -- cases that read only the patch file and need no
binary at all. Verified both ways against a deliberately unresolvable addon path:
at collection time vitest reports "no tests" for the file; from beforeAll the
seven text cases pass and only the three addon cases go.

* fix(deps): normalize the windows-process-tree patch to LF and let pnpm own its hash

`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` failed on this branch on every platform with
ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH, which breaks CI and the release build.

Two coupled defects. The patch file was committed with CRLF -- 174 CR bytes,
against zero on main -- and `.gitattributes` pins `/config/patches/*.patch -text`
precisely so checkout cannot convert it, so those bytes reached every runner. And
pnpm hashes a patch **LF-normalized**, so the raw sha256 of a CRLF file is a value
pnpm never computes:

  raw sha256      322965470c05f63d8527f7d8e892ee26ee444136b66b57fd64c362a9f2ff05d1
  LF-normalized   f8ea245391c94da5770045aeea01fa6de466c2199c6ef46b5b769b398aa9823e

The lockfile carried the raw one, at all three sites. It is the only one of the
seven patches where the two digests differ, which is why the other six passed.

Normalized the patch to LF and took pnpm's own value from
`pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`; nothing here is hand-computed. With the file
LF-only the two interpretations coincide, so the lockfile, the contract test's
no-CR assertion and its hash assertion all agree at one number -- and
`config/scripts/windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs`, which was red on
this branch for the same reason, is green again. The lockfile diff is exactly the
three hash lines.

The regression check is the installer, not a digest. Two separate reviews
"verified" the shipped hash by recomputing sha256(patchBytes) and matching the
lockfile; both were wrong, because both repeated the same wrong assumption about
which bytes pnpm hashes. A check that reproduces the original mistake is not
independent. So the new case runs `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only
--ignore-scripts` against a copy of the manifest, lockfile and patches, and
asserts exit 0 -- verified by deletion: restoring the shipped hash fails it with
the exact ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH from the branch's package (windows)
job.

Also corrected the `.gitattributes` comment claiming pnpm hashes patches
byte-for-byte. The `-text` setting is right -- `git apply` needs the exact bytes --
but that sentence is the claim that produced the wrong hash twice.

* ci(windows): run the process-tree patch suites in CI

Both suites only self-skip off Windows, so the binary-level check that the
addon carries no ReadProcessMemory passed vacuously in every lane.

* fix(windows): force core.autocrlf=input for the patch repair

My LF normalization of the windows-process-tree patch broke the `git apply`
repair path introduced in this PR. The two are coupled and I checked only one.

Those 174 CR bytes were not editor noise. They sat on exactly the pre-image
lines and nowhere else -- 107/107 in src/process.cc, 67/67 in
src/process_commandline.cc, 0 on every added or context line -- because
@vscode/windows-process-tree@0.8.0 ships those two sources as CRLF. Normalizing
the patch made its pre-image stop matching the file it is applied against.

Measured, reconstructing the true CRLF pre-image from the pre-normalization
blob and applying the current LF patch:

  core.autocrlf   plain   -c core.autocrlf=input
  true            exit 0  exit 0
  input           exit 0  exit 0
  false           exit 1  exit 0

`false` is Git's own built-in default and what "checkout as-is" selects in the
Git for Windows installer -- on this box the `true` that hides it comes from the
installer's system gitconfig, not from anything in the repo. There the repair
throws, ensureWindowsProcessTreeCommandLinePatch reports "still reads the PEB,
and repairing it ... failed", isWindowsNativeLockError does not match that text,
and `pnpm install` dies with no path forward.

Forcing the mode rather than `--ignore-whitespace`: both fix every cell and both
leave the applied file fully LF, but `input` relaxes line endings only, so a hunk
whose real content drifted is still rejected. The repair rewrites a
security-relevant source file; it should stay strict about everything except the
thing that is legitimately ambiguous.

Not reverting the patch to CRLF: windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs
(pre-existing on main) forbids CR bytes in it, and pnpm computes the same hash
either way. LF plus the forced mode is the end state.

The suite could not have caught this. The fixture built its pre-image from the
patch itself and joined with '\n', so fixture and patch agreed by construction on
any encoding -- once again a test that passes without its fix. It now emits the
CRLF the real package ships, and the case runs under both autocrlf modes pinned
through a temp HOME gitconfig, because the repair blinds git to the repo and so
reads global config. Verified by deletion in both directions: with the flag
removed the autocrlf=false case fails with the exact "still reads the PEB" dead
end while autocrlf=true still passes, and with the fixture back on LF all eight
cases pass with no fix present at all.

Also corrected the .gitattributes comment I added last commit. It said `git
apply` needs the bytes the patch was written against, which is now false -- the
pinned bytes are LF and the bytes it was written against are CRLF. That is the
same class of confident-and-wrong claim that produced the bad hash twice.

* fix(windows): assert the rebuilt addon, and install the patch for real in tests

Three follow-ups from review.

**The packaged binary had no check.** The relay build asserts its own artifact
and ensure-native-runtime asserts what it loads, but nothing looked at the addon
copied into the packaged app -- so a rebuild that silently produced the upstream
reader shipped. `rebuild-native-deps.mjs` now asserts `clean` on it after
`rebuild()`. This is also the caller D4's tri-state was missing: every existing
site branches on `=== 'unpatched'`, so `missing` still behaved exactly like
`clean` everywhere, which was the thing making it a state rather than a boolean.
Here both non-clean states fail, and they fail differently: after a rebuild that
reported success, an absent binary is a broken build, not an absence to shrug at.

The fake `rebuild()` had to start producing a binary for that to mean anything,
so it now emits stand-in bytes and takes `addon: 'clean' | 'unpatched' | 'none'`.
Verified by deletion: with the assertion removed both new cases pass.

**The frozen-install case could not see a patch at all.** `--lockfile-only`
resolves and never applies one, so its coverage stops at hash consistency. Added
a case that installs `@vscode/windows-process-tree@0.8.0` for real with the patch
and asserts the materialized `src/process_commandline.cc` carries the marker and
no longer carries `ReadProcessMemory` -- about 1.5s for the pair.

Correcting the brief on that one: it does **not** catch the `git apply` breakage
from the previous commit. Measured -- with `-c core.autocrlf=input` removed it
passes cleanly, because `pnpm install` uses pnpm's own patch applier and never
runs our repair script. What it does catch is a patch pnpm can no longer apply:
corrupting one pre-image line fails both cases. The repair path stays covered by
the CRLF fixture in rebuild-native-deps-node-pty.test.mjs.

Worth recording, since it decides whether the LF normalization was safe at all:
pnpm applies the LF patch to the CRLF tarball sources without complaint, and
materializes them as LF with the marker present and `ReadProcessMemory` absent.
The primary install path was never affected -- only the `git apply` fallback was.

**Dead timeout.** The frozen-install case passed `timeoutMs: 300_000` to the
spawn while vitest capped the case itself at 30s, so on a cold runner vitest
would have killed it first. Both cases now declare the budget they use.

* test(windows): route the frozen-install check through the pnpm invocation owner

The new patched-dependencies check hand-rolled a PATH walk naming 'pnpm.cmd',
which the windows batch shim spawn boundary ratchet rejects: pnpm-cli-invocation
already owns that decision for every other script, and its allowlist only
shrinks.

Reuse resolvePnpmCliInvocation for the command and prefixArgs, and the shared
resolveCliCommand for the presence check, so no shim name is spelled here. Its
`shell` flag is dropped because runProcessSync refuses it and already drives a
shim through the interpreter itself.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 687a22e1ee fix(computer-use): run the Windows runtime as one persistent helper (#17858)
* fix(computer-use): run the Windows runtime as one persistent helper

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint raised multi-stage Execution + Collection
incidents against Orca on Windows ("Screenshots were taken unexpectedly on
this device... Screen capture code was found in a script launched by
powershell.exe", factor "Executes suspicious MSIL code"). The desktop script
provider spawned a fresh powershell.exe per operation, so a single computer-use
session produced a burst of short-lived PIDs and re-emitted runtime.ps1's
inline Add-Type P/Invoke assembly on every click.

runtime.ps1 gains a -Serve mode that loads its assemblies once and then reads
NDJSON requests from stdin, and a new DesktopScriptRuntimeHost owns one
long-lived child: lazy spawn, strict serialization, a 30s per-request timeout,
restart on crash, a 120s idle shutdown, and dispose() on provider teardown. The
one-shot -OperationPath path stays as the fallback, and Linux keeps its python3
bridge unchanged.

Both Windows spawn sites now use -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned instead of
Bypass, falling back once to Bypass (and logging) when a Restricted host
refuses the unsigned script.

* fix(computer-use): recover the runtime host instead of latching it off

Review follow-up on the persistent Windows computer-use helper.

A helper that died before producing a line set an unavailable flag nothing ever
cleared, and the client then dropped the host for the life of the session. One
transient bad spawn — a Defender scan, a locked CSC temp directory — silently
restored the per-click powershell.exe burst and per-operation MSIL emission this
work exists to remove, with computer use still working so nothing looked wrong.
Start failures are now retried, then cool down for 60s, then re-probed; the
client keeps the host so it can come back. Repeated post-answer crashes cool
down too, and a single reply no longer clears the failure count.

The one-shot bridge decided its execution-policy retry from a message that fell
back to stdout, so a window title containing "SecurityError" could replay a
non-idempotent operation — a double click, keystroke or paste — and stick the
session on Bypass. The retry now requires empty stdout and a matching stderr.

Serve-mode replies carry an echoed request id. Without one a single stray stdout
line would make every later response answer the previous request, acting on
stale element indexes with no error raised; a mismatch now kills the child.
Non-JSON noise is ignored rather than counted as the helper having answered.

Also: warnings reach the main process over the sidecar's IPC channel rather than
its piped, unread stdio; the child is watched on close rather than exit; dispose
latches so a queued request cannot respawn during teardown; and the host is
split into a serve channel and an availability policy to stay under max-lines.

* fix(computer-use): prove a helper never started before replaying its request

The retry that replaced the permanent-latch bug could deliver unrequested
input. send() re-sent the same request whenever the helper died without
replying, but "no reply came back" is not "the operation did not run":
runtime.ps1 synthesizes the click and only then builds the snapshot, which
allocates a full-window bitmap and walks the UIA tree — a native GDI+/UIA fault
there is uncatchable, and leaves the click already delivered. A deterministic
fault meant three clicks from the host plus a fourth from the one-shot bridge,
surfaced as a single failed operation.

-Serve now writes one {"ready":true} line after its Add-Type work and before
its first read, so "never started" is a fact rather than an inference. A request
is replayed only when the helper died before announcing. A runtime.ps1 that
predates the announcement — reachable through the provider path override — is
covered by an observation-tool allowlist until a ready line proves otherwise.

Host-detected aborts (timeout, desynchronised reply, oversized line) suppress
the exit handler, so they were bypassing failure accounting entirely and a
helper failing that way was respawned once per operation forever. They now
count and are logged.

Also stop charging twice for one outage: entering the cooldown resets the
failure count, so the first death after recovery no longer re-enters a full
cooldown and an interleaved workload cannot be stranded on the one-shot bridge.

* fix(computer-use): ignore a stdin write callback from a torn-down helper

stop() destroys stdin, so a write still queued at teardown calls back with
ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED. The callback carried no channel or request identity and
write() had no closed guard, so it ran abortChannel a second time: stopChannel
no-opped but recordFailure and the warning did not, charging two failures for
one operation and reaching the 3-strike cooldown at half the intended rate.
That feeds the same accounting that keeps a persistently broken helper from
respawning once per operation.

The same root also allowed a late callback landing after a replacement channel
existed to stop that channel and reject a different request with the previous
one's error. Node fires the destroyed-stream callback on the next tick, well
before a new request arrives, so the double-count is the reachable effect;
binding the callback closes both.

write() now drops payloads and error reports once closed, and the host ignores
any report whose channel or request id is no longer current.

* test(computer-use): pin each stale-write guard independently

The channel's closed guard and the host's request-identity check are redundant
by design, and the existing tests only failed when both were absent. Someone
deleting one, believing the other was the covered one, would have got a green
suite and a live regression — the same shape as a test that passes without the
fix it was written for.

Each is now pinned on its own. The channel's half is tested against the channel
directly: after stop() it takes no writes and reports no error from one already
queued, which the host cannot observe because it drops the channel at the same
moment. The host's half is pinned by the case the channel cannot see — a live
channel whose request was already answered, where backpressure delivers a write
callback for a request that is no longer pending.

Removing either guard alone now fails a test. Both carry a comment saying they
are deliberately redundant and separately pinned, so the next reader does not
have to rediscover this from the diff.

* ci(windows): run the computer-use runtime host suite in CI

The win32 suite only self-skips off Windows, so it passed vacuously in
every lane. Register it the way the cmd-shim suite is registered.

* fix(computer-use): time the runtime host cooldown on a monotonic clock

The start-failure cooldown was a wall-clock deadline, so a backwards step —
an NTP correction, a VM snapshot restore, a user changing the clock — left
`remainingCooldown()` returning the cooldown plus the whole step. A one-hour
step measured 3,660,000ms, and ten real minutes later still 3,060,000ms.

Nothing shortens it from there. Only `recordSuccess()` clears the cooldown on
a non-dispose path, and no request can reach a helper to succeed while it
holds, so every `send()` throws `runtime_host_unavailable` first. The host is
built with no `now` override and its lifecycle is a module-level singleton
that shuts down at process exit, so the latch held for the sidecar's life —
computer use kept working via the one-shot bridge while the per-click
powershell.exe burst this host exists to remove came back silently.

Store the instant the cooldown began and compare elapsed monotonic time,
following the two fixes in #17884. The field is `number | null` rather than
sentinel 0 because `performance.now()` legitimately returns 0.

Both new tests leave `now` unset, because the bug was in the default the host
picks and a test that injects a clock cannot see it.

* fix(computer-use): give a queued request its own deadline

The 30s request timeout was armed only in `sendOnce`, once a request reached
a helper. A request behind N timing-out ones therefore waited roughly N times
that with no deadline of its own: bounded, but the caller sees an `await` that
looks hung for minutes and gets no error to act on.

Move the serialization tail into its own class and arm a deadline at enqueue
time. Only the wait is bounded — a request that reaches a helper still gets
its full execution budget, so nothing that used to succeed now fails. An
expired request is dropped rather than sent late: the caller has already been
told it failed, and a click delivered after that is worse than no click.

The tail keeps its never-rejecting shape and chains on the turn rather than on
the raced promise, so a caller giving up early cannot release the next request
while its predecessor is still in flight.

* fix(computer-use): stop reading a locked file as an execution policy block

`UnauthorizedAccess` is the FullyQualifiedErrorId PowerShell reports for a
policy block, and it is also a strict prefix of `UnauthorizedAccessException`,
which .NET raises for any ordinary locked or ACL-denied file. The predicate
matched the token unanchored, so an AV scan holding runtime.ps1 or a locked
CSC temp directory was read as a policy block.

Two consequences, both bad. `escalateExecutionPolicy()` has no path back, so
one false match spent the rest of the session on `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` —
the exact command line token this stack exists to stop emitting. And on the
one-shot path `isPolicyBlockedStart` re-runs the operation: one-shot mode
writes stdout only after the operation returns, so a crash partway through an
action is indistinguishable from a helper that never started, and the click
lands twice.

Measured on Windows against all three records, which the test carries verbatim
as fixtures:

  policy/Restricted      FullyQualifiedErrorId: UnauthorizedAccess
  policy/RemoteSigned    FullyQualifiedErrorId: UnauthorizedAccess
  genuine access denied  FullyQualifiedErrorId: UnauthorizedAccessException

`\b` is the whole discriminator: between `s` and `E` both sides are word
characters, so no boundary exists there and the exception cannot match.

Dropped two alternatives that measurement showed were wrong. `PSSecurityException`
never appears — the record surfaces through a native-command wrapper and reports
`ParentContainsErrorRecordException`. The prose is wrong three times over: it
differs by policy, it is localized, and PowerShell hard-wraps it mid-sentence.

Anchoring on the `FullyQualifiedErrorId:`/`CategoryInfo:` labels would be more
precise again, but those labels are localized where the values are not, so it
would lose a real block on a non-English host and strand it with no fallback.
Matching the values with word boundaries keeps both directions; a fixture with
translated labels pins it.

The escalation stays sticky. With the predicate correct, it only fires on a
machine that really does block, where re-probing the preferred policy would buy
a guaranteed failed spawn per operation.

* fix(computer-use): route a malformed request back to the request that caused it

`ConvertFrom-Json` throws before `$requestId` is read, so the serve loop
answered an unparseable request with an untagged error. On the client that is
not an error at all: `deliver()` sees no matching id, calls `abortChannel`,
kills the helper and charges a failure — and the helper's own message is
discarded. A parse failure was reported as a stream desync with no trace of
the real cause, and three of them walked into the 60s cooldown behind three
misleading "did not match" messages.

Recover the id from the raw line when the parse fails. No wire change: the
response shape is untouched and `BridgeResponse.requestId` already documents
this echo. It is the same shape the helper already returns for `not_a_tool`,
where the id survives because it is read before the operation runs. Both
mixed pairings degrade safely — a new script with an old client resolves the
error normally, and an old script with a new client still aborts, but now
reports what the helper said.

When the line is mangled past recovering an id, the desync abort is the honest
outcome, so keep it and carry the helper's text into it rather than replacing
it. A line the helper could not tag is usually the only account of the cause.

Proven against the real `runtime.ps1 -Serve`: the host can only write
well-formed JSON, so the parse-failure branch is unreachable through it and
the test drives the channel directly.

* fix(computer-use): keep the Bypass escalation only when Bypass actually works

AppLocker and WDAC constrained language mode raise PSSecurityException under
the same SecurityError category a real execution-policy block uses, so the
predicate matches them - correctly, on the evidence available. But those block
the script at parse time, which `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` cannot lift. The
escalation was sticky unconditionally, so on a WDAC host we misdiagnosed,
retried, failed again, and then latched: every later command line carried the
most heavily weighted MDE token there is, on exactly the hardened, monitored
enterprise machine that is watching for it.

Treat the escalation as the diagnosis it is. A fallback that cannot start a
helper either disproves it - the policy was not what stopped the first attempt
- so revert to RemoteSigned instead of latching. When Bypass does start a
helper the diagnosis is confirmed and it stays sticky exactly as before, so a
genuinely Restricted machine still never pays a re-probe per operation.

The revert lands inside the outage rather than only at its end, so a
misdiagnosis costs one Bypass command line instead of one per attempt, and an
escalation that never proved itself does not outlive the cooldown that ends
the outage. Deliberately not a permanent "fallback is useless" flag: a Bypass
attempt that failed for a transient reason would then disable the fallback for
the session, which is the same latch in the other direction.

Only `runtime_host_unavailable` proves no helper started, so only that reverts;
a helper that started and then died proves Bypass works. That also makes the
policy branch reachable on a final attempt for the first time, so it now
rejects as unavailable rather than a generic error - that code is what routes
the operation to the one-shot bridge, which carries its own policy fallback,
and without it an all-blocked host would fail operations outright instead of
degrading. The pre-existing "reports itself unavailable when Bypass is also
refused" test pins that.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker b6ca8dad99 fix(hooks): register the Claude hook script directly on Windows (#18875) (#18905)
* fix(hooks): register the Claude hook script directly on Windows (#18875)

The Windows Claude Code lifecycle hook was registered as
`powershell.exe -NoProfile -EncodedCommand <...>` whose entire decoded payload
was a `Test-Path` and a call to `~/.orca/agent-hooks/claude-hook.cmd`. Every
hook event paid a full PowerShell start-up to reach a script that exits at its
first `ORCA_PANE_KEY` guard, so sessions outside Orca paid it to do nothing.

Register the script path itself instead, with `|| echo {}` for the
neutral-JSON-when-missing contract (#14818). Measured on Windows 11, invoked as
Claude Code invokes it (`printf payload | bash -c -l "<command>"`):

  idle (n=12)          baseline 177ms | before 471ms | after 213ms
  10-way conc (n=40)            --    | before 656ms | after 296ms
  p95 under load                --    | before 696ms | after 337ms

It also drops an interpreter from the chain the hook's timeout kill must tear
down. Killing the hook does not kill its PowerShell grandchild, which still
holds the stdout handle the agent reads to EOF -- measured, EOF arrived 352ms
AFTER the kill, when the orphan exited by itself. msys2 creates children
suspended and resumes them after, so a kill landing in that window strands one
that never exits and EOF never comes; that is the reported frozen session.

The encoded launcher stays as the fallback for profile paths the shells cannot
carry bare (space, `%`, `^`, `&`, non-ASCII) and for hosts where Git Bash is not
resolvable, because PowerShell 5.1 rejects `||`. Every other agent's hook is
untouched, as is the remote/SSH path.

Not adopted from the report: `cmd.exe /d /c <path>` (MSYS rewrites the `/c`
under Git Bash -- measured, the invocation fails), and raising the 10s timeout
(the orphan survives the kill regardless; the fast path puts the hook 30x under
the budget so the kill effectively stops firing).

* fix(build): list the new hook launcher modules in the CLI tsconfig project

config/tsconfig.cli.json enumerates its files explicitly, so the two new
imports reached by src/main/claude/hook-settings.ts failed tc:cli with TS6307.
src/main/git-bash.ts pulls in only node:fs, node:path and a shared constant,
so it adds nothing heavy to the CLI project.

* fix(hooks): address review of the direct Windows Claude hook launcher

- Make the Windows hook suites host-independent. A box with a cmd.exe AutoRun
  (HKCU\...\Command Processor\AutoRun) failed them at HEAD too: the tests
  redirect USERPROFILE, the AutoRun target vanishes, and MSYS spawns a .cmd
  without /d so AutoRun runs and lands on the hook's stderr. Seed an empty
  target, including under the deliberately-absent profile.
- Note in managed-hook-stdin-lifecycle why the "missing managed script" case no
  longer exercises the fallback for the direct shape (it carries an absolute
  path, so a redirected profile changes nothing); that path is covered live in
  windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts.
- Keep the direct shape off UNC profiles: WINDOWS_CMD_SAFE_PATH admits them, but
  //server/share/... is not a command cmd.exe reliably starts.
- Correct the comments: `|| echo {}` also fires when cmd.exe itself exits
  non-zero (failing AutoRun), printing {} twice. The encoded launcher exited 1
  on that same box, so neither shape is clean there.
- Test the contract that replaced runtime %USERPROFILE% resolution (STA-3348): a
  stale absolute path reports not_installed and is rewritten on install.
- Record the standing unmeasured assumption in windows-edr-posture.md: `||` does
  not parse in Windows PowerShell 5.1, so a compat consumer that hosts hook
  strings there would fail closed. Measure before widening to another agent.
- Trim the launcher comments per AGENTS.md; the numbers live in the doc.

* test(win32): register the new Windows-gated hook test in the CI lane

win32-test-lane-registration guards against exactly this: a Windows-gated file
that self-skips on ubuntu and reports success, so it runs on no machine. The new
windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts needs both entries — WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS
decides whether package_windows runs for a diff, and the workflow argv decides
whether the file runs once that job started.

* test(win32): remove the hook temp tree through the retrying helper

windows-lane-tree-removal-boundary scans exactly the specs in the Windows CI
lane, so registering windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts subjected it to the
rule: cmd.exe and bash have just exited in that tree, and a raw recursive rm
throws EPERM on Windows while their handles drain, turning a green spec into a
lane failure. Use removeTreeSync, which carries the repo's maxRetries policy.

Neil 0a821e5bc8 fix(crash-reporting): make the own-Chromium gate a real choke point, and stop a refusal leaking the root (#18459)
* fix(crash-reporting): make the own-Chromium gate a real choke point

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

f36c03e84a fix(windows): make the install-dir ACL repair rescue the launch it runs in (#18361)
* fix(windows): repair the poisoned install-dir ACL before the window, not after

The install-dir LPAC ACL poison (electron/electron#51761) still costs every
affected machine at least one crash: the probe that detects it is
setImmediate-deferred and answers 0.9-3.0s in, while createMainWindow runs
synchronously in the same frame and its renderer dies at init 48-1373ms later.

- Persist the poison verdict the moment the probe reports it, and await the
  repair (bounded at 20s) before any window is created on a launch that already
  carries the marker.
- Do not engage the GPU safe-graphics fallback while the install-dir ACL verdict
  is poisoned or still outstanding. Safe graphics does not rescue a poisoned
  tree, and --in-process-gpu removes the GPU child, erasing the sibling-death
  evidence that identifies the shape (4 field reports landed in 'misc' this way).
- Clear the safe-graphics marker once the repair lands, so a repaired machine
  stops launching software-rendered for the rest of that build.
- Give the repair marker a bounded retry budget: it was written on failure and
  matched regardless of outcome, so one transient failure pinned a machine to
  'marker-hit' for the life of that version.

* test(windows): pin the install-dir ACL repair against the real icacls binary

* fix(windows): stop the install-DACL verdict from outliving the evidence

Adversarial review round 1. Five blocking findings, all addressed.

1. gpu-lifecycle guard had only a source grep (green with the polarity
   inverted). The stated justification -- that gpu-lifecycle's import graph
   cannot be driven in-process -- was wrong: mocking `electron` plus
   `@electron-toolkit/utils` imports it fine. Replaced with
   gpu-lifecycle-install-dir-acl-guard.test.ts, which drives the real
   handleGpuChildCrash against a stub tracker. All four cases go red when the
   guard is flipped to `if (!isInstallDirAclSuspect())`.

2. A clean probe verdict retired the on-disk marker but not the in-memory
   `poison` verdict, so a machine the probe just proved healthy kept
   suppressing the GPU safe-graphics fallback and kept the dialog accusing the
   install folder -- permanently, since a `status:'failed'` probe deliberately
   keeps the marker. A positive clean reading now latches `installDirReadClean`,
   drops the verdict, and outranks a repair result that lands after it (a
   'failed' from a repair with nothing left to fix must not re-accuse).
   'repaired' is kept: it is not a contradiction and it is what tells the user
   to reload.

3. `noteWindowsInstallDirAclProbePending()` ran on every `openMainWindow` while
   the probe is once-per-process, so every tray/second-instance reopen armed a
   15s window in which `recordGpuCrash` was never called at all -- on healthy
   machines. `probeWindowsInstallDirAcl` now reports whether THIS call
   dispatched, and only a dispatch arms the grace window.

4. The pre-window ordering guarantee was defeatable and untested.
   `focusExistingMainWindow` opens a window whenever there is none and the app
   is ready -- true for the whole 20s gate, which is exactly when a user
   double-clicks the shortcut again. Added a `canOpenWindow` seam (same
   'pending' semantics as the existing `!app.isReady()` case) wired to
   `isBlockingInstallDirAclRepairInFlight()`, plus
   windows-install-dir-acl-startup-wiring.test.ts pinning the await ahead of
   both window-creation paths and both new call sites.

5. windows-install-dir-acl-repair.win32.test.ts was absent from the pr.yml
   win32 allowlist, so it ran nowhere. Added.

Also from the non-blocking list:
- The repair no longer clears a `userConfirmed: true` safe-graphics marker;
  "keep safe graphics" is a user choice, not Orca's automatic latch.
- `repairWindowsInstallDirPackageAcl` now reports its dispatch too, so a second
  entry into the gate resolves immediately instead of eating the full 20s
  budget waiting on an `onDone` that is never coming.
- The gate is wrapped in try/catch/finally, matching the contract the probe
  documents as mandatory for anything upstream of window creation.

Rebutted, not applied:
- "Gate should be conditioned on app.isPackaged." A dev launch only carries the
  poison marker if a dev launch actually probed that tree and found the
  signature, in which case the dev renderer is dying the same way and the
  repair is exactly what is needed. The adjacent `isPackaged` check guards a
  packaged-only early-window optimisation, not a correctness boundary.
- "Fold the poison marker into the repair marker's `outcome`." They answer
  different questions with different lifetimes. The repair marker is a retry
  budget (`attempts >= 3` disables the repair for that version) and is never
  cleared; the poison marker is cleared by a successful repair and by a clean
  probe. A `'pending'` outcome written before the attempt would bump `attempts`,
  so three launches killed mid-repair would permanently disable a repair that
  never once ran icacls to completion.

* fix(windows): keep counting GPU crashes while the install-DACL verdict is pending

Adversarial review round 2. Both blocking findings addressed.

1. handleGpuChildCrash early-returned on isInstallDirAclSuspect() BEFORE
   recordGpuCrash, so the crash left no trace in the 30s rolling window. The
   suspect window is armed on every win32 non-serve launch, and the field
   bundles put it at 0.8-1.7s after main_window_created on hosts whose DACL is
   clean (matchesPoisonSignature=false) -- squarely inside the 2.1-6.2s
   bad-driver bursts this repo already pinned in
   gpu-crash-fallback-field-sessions.test.ts. A healthy machine with a failing
   driver could lose an entire coalesced burst and never engage safe graphics.

   The crash is now always recorded; only the engagement consults the verdict,
   and it waits for the verdict rather than acting on the suspicion
   (waitForInstallDirAclVerdict, resolved by the probe's onDone or by the
   existing 15s grace, whichever lands first).

   Deviation from the review's suggested shape, deliberately: awaiting the
   verdict before persisting anything reintroduces the exact race
   gpu-fallback-engagement.ts documents -- Chromium aborts the whole browser
   process on the 6th GPU crash, ~1.3s after the 3rd, which is less than the
   probe takes to answer. So the unconfirmed marker is written up front and
   withdrawn if the verdict comes back poisoned. A machine killed mid-wait
   still comes back software-rendered, and its marker is unconfirmed, which is
   the state the repair's own clear already retires.

   gpu-lifecycle-install-dir-acl-guard.test.ts now drives the real
   GpuCrashFallbackTracker and the real engagement path (the restart prompt
   firing is the signal) instead of a stub tracker, and covers the case the
   previous suite could not express: a burst that lands entirely inside the
   pending window still engages once the probe reports clean. Four reverts go
   red -- restoring the pre-record guard (2 tests), dropping the wait, dropping
   the post-wait re-check, and dropping the pre-wait marker write (2 tests).

2. The round-1 evidence block quoted commits, a test name and pass counts that
   no longer exist, and its real-icacls Windows run predated the commit that
   rewrote the gate. Re-run at this commit; counts and the live-Windows result
   are restated in the handoff rather than carried forward.

Also from the non-blocking list:
- 'marker-hit' conflated "already repaired" with "retry budget spent", because
  hasMarkerFor matches outcome === 'repaired' too. The result now carries
  alreadyRepaired, and the recovery maps that to stage 'repaired' -- so a launch
  killed between a successful repair and its marker clear no longer tells the
  user the folder needs an administrator, no longer latches
  isInstallDirAclSuspect() for the session, and does retire the poison marker.

Not applied, with reasoning:
- "clearGpuFallbackMarker narrowed to userConfirmed === false leaves the target
  population software-rendered after a repair." The summary was overstated and
  is corrected, but the narrowing stands: a userConfirmed marker now requires a
  clean DACL verdict, because the restart prompt that writes it is exactly what
  the gate above withholds while the install is a suspect. The population this
  family targets can no longer reach confirmMarker while poisoned.
- "writeInstallDirAclPoisonMarker re-stamps on a budget-exhausted machine
  forever." True, but on that machine the tree really is still poisoned and the
  gate resolves immediately ('skipped', no icacls spawn, no 20s wait), so the
  marker is telling the truth. Retiring it would be wrong; only a clean probe
  reading should.

* fix(windows): register the real-icacls spec and stop its teardown racing icacls

Two ratchets were red:
- windows-lane-tree-removal-boundary: the win32 spec's afterAll used raw
  rmSync on a tree two icacls.exe children had just rewritten DACLs on, which
  is the EPERM race removeTreeSync exists for.
- win32-test-lane-registration: the spec was in the pr.yml argv but not in
  WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS, so a future diff touching only test files would not
  select package_windows and the spec would self-skip on ubuntu and report
  success.

* fix(windows): re-arm the GPU fallback latch when the install-DACL verdict withholds it

recordGpuCrash reports the threshold crossing exactly once and latches `engaged`.
handleGpuChildCrash consumes that report before consulting the DACL verdict, and
installDirAclClearsGpuFallback then discards it — so nothing could ever engage
safe graphics again in that process. A machine whose tree the repair fixes and
whose driver is genuinely broken stayed hardware-accelerated through an unbounded
crash loop, with no prompt and no marker.

disengage() releases only the one-shot latch; the crash window is untouched, so a
real driver burst is still never erased. Test is RED without the re-arm.

* fix(windows): keep the safe-graphics marker while an install-DACL repair is in flight

The gate dispatches a repair without arming the probe clock, so
waitForInstallDirAclVerdict() returns immediately and the withdrawal deleted the
marker inside Chromium's FATAL window (crash 6 lands ~1.3s after crash 3, well
inside the 20s gate). The process then died mid-repair, spent no attempt, and
relaunched hardware accelerated into the same gate — spawning the same GPU
children, FATALing again, forever.

Hold the marker while poison.stage is 'pending' so that launch comes back
software rendered and the next gate runs to completion. Still not engaged this
launch, so --in-process-gpu does not erase the sibling-death evidence. A
terminal verdict has no next step to rescue, so it still withdraws. Both new
tests are RED without the retention.

* fix(windows): stop a repaired marker outranking a fresh poison verdict

The probe reads the install DACL and finds it poisoned; `startRepair` dispatches;
`markerHitFor` sees a repair marker recording `outcome: 'repaired'` for the same
installDir+appVersion and reports `alreadyRepaired`, which the recovery module maps
to stage 'repaired'. So the launch that just proved the tree poisoned runs no icacls,
deletes the poison marker that arms the next launch's pre-window gate, clears the
suspect flag so `--in-process-gpu` can engage on a tree safe graphics cannot rescue,
and tells the user "Orca repaired the permissions."

Reachable whenever the tree is re-poisoned after one successful repair of the same
version, and whenever a repair reports success without clearing the tree — the silent
icacls no-op this module exists to document.

A DACL reading taken this launch now outranks the marker: `probeConfirmedPoisoned`
stops `outcome: 'repaired'` short-circuiting the repair. The attempt budget still
bounds it, so an unrepairable tree does not re-spawn icacls forever. The pre-window
gate does not set the flag — it acts on a marker from an earlier launch, not on
evidence of its own, so a recorded repair still outranks it there.

Also drives the GPU-fallback re-arm test through a repair that actually completes
'repaired', rather than a later clean probe, which is the route the review exercised.

* fix(windows): make the pre-window ACL gate act on the poison evidence it fired on

The gate fired on a poison marker — an earlier launch's DACL reading that nothing has
retired — but withheld `probeConfirmedPoisoned` from the repair, so a repair marker
recording an older success still short-circuited it. On the three-launch shape the gate
exists for (repair succeeds; tree is re-poisoned; the next launch's probe records the
poison but dies before writing its repair marker) the gate ran no icacls, deleted the
poison marker that arms every later gate, un-suspected the tree so --in-process-gpu could
engage, and told the user "Orca repaired the permissions." `applyInstallDirAclProbeVerdict`
then swallowed that launch's own reading behind `if (poison) return`.

Both callers of `startRepair` hold outstanding poison evidence, so the flag is now
unconditional (renamed `poisonEvidenceOutstanding`) and `marker-hit` means only that the
attempt budget is spent. The probe guard is narrowed to an in-flight gate repair: a reading
taken after the gate finished re-arms the poison marker and downgrades a claimed repair.

Also: withholding safe graphics now ends with the repair budget. A machine whose attempts
are spent while the signature persists was denied safe graphics on every launch for the
life of that appVersion — and had its marker deleted each time — including the healthy
installs the probe's flag-blind ACE match over-matches, where the driver really is broken.

Non-blocking, same lane: re-read `isQuitting` after the up-to-15s verdict wait, and skip
the recovered-launch prompt when the ACL gate retired the marker read before whenReady.

* fix(windows): stop a timed-out gate repair outranking a later poison reading

The gate's 20s budget expires while icacls runs on under its own 120s cap, so
the probe can read the tree poisoned while that repair is still in flight. Its
success claim then deleted the poison marker, un-suspected the tree and told the
user their permissions were fixed. The reading is now latched and outranks it.

* fix(windows): stop a gate repair claim pre-empting this launch's probe reading

Round-7 adversarial findings, both driven against the real modules:

- isInstallDirAclSuspect returned false the moment the pre-window gate set
  stage 'repaired', short-circuiting ahead of the probe-pending grace check.
  The GPU children die 48-1373ms after window creation while the probe
  answers 0.9-3.0s in, so an icacls that silently no-opped (exit 0, tree
  untouched) opened exactly that interval to --in-process-gpu on a
  still-poisoned tree - and a 'keep safe graphics' answer then pinned a
  userConfirmed marker no later repair may clear, with the poison marker
  already deleted so no later launch gates. The claim now stays provisional
  until this launch's probe corroborates it or the grace window lapses.

- A probe reading that disproves a 'repaired' claim re-armed the poison
  marker but never restored the unconfirmed safe-graphics marker the claim
  had cleared, so the next launch relaunched hardware-accelerated into the
  re-armed gate. The clear is now captured and handed back on disproof.

* test(windows): pin the nested and update-inherited grants against real icacls

The live spec asserted the grant landed on the root-level module file only.
It now also pins that the flagless /T pass reaches a nested file carrying
its own protected DACL (the shape app.asar.unpacked and node_modules have),
and that a file written after the repair inherits the (OI)(CI) root grant -
the stated reason that grant form exists.

* fix(windows): keep the recovered-launch prompt silent while the tree is the suspect

Round-8 fresh-eyes finding, driven against the real modules: the prompt
re-read the marker the pre-window gate may have retired, but never consulted
isInstallDirAclSuspect() - so after a FAILED gate (tree still a live suspect,
window blank behind the 10s reveal fallback, Keep as both defaultId and
cancelId) a 'keep it' answer pinned a userConfirmed marker no later repair
may clear, on the exact victim class the repair cannot help. The guard now
covers both gate outcomes; staying silent leaves the marker unconfirmed,
which a successful repair still retires.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 98e77ef1a7 feat(mobile): structured native Codex chat (#18074)
* feat(mobile): finalize structured native Codex chat

* fix(mobile): close structured chat lifecycle gaps

* wip(mobile): fence stale structured inventory and bound operation-id retention

Fence local structured-session inventory and subscription responses with a
sync generation so a toggle-off clear, reconnect restore, or retry cannot
apply a mirror from a superseded instance. Bound mobile ambiguous
operation-ID retention at 128 with unmount cleanup.

Staged on the reconcile branch only: the sync module is now 312 lines and
needs a real split before this can reach the PR head.

* fix(ci): split the structured session-tabs sync and give static analysis mobile types

The local structured session-tabs sync module outgrew the 300-line cap once it
took on generation fencing, so split it along its real seams instead of raising
the cap: the generation/cursor fence, snapshot projection, snapshot apply,
inventory refresh, and the subscription loop. The original path stays as a
barrel so no importer moves.

Repoint the host-session-mirror settle census at the apply module, which owns
two receipts now — the snapshot it mirrors in, and the toggle-off teardown that
retracts what it published. The teardown receipt is named rather than anonymous
so the pin says which direction it settles.

The changed-code quality gate lints mobile files and resolves their types from
mobile/node_modules, but mobile is a separate pnpm project that the root install
never populates, so every mobile type degraded to an `error` type and the gate
reported phantom findings. Install mobile dependencies in static analysis when
the diff touches mobile, gated on a new classifier output.

* fix(mobile): let a slow capability handshake still reach connected

The mobile capability update is an advisory whose result is discarded, yet an
unanswered one was fatal while an explicit rejection was tolerated. A 5s timeout
on the direct client force-closed the socket, and on the relay path it failed
`confirmResume` before `connected` was ever published, so a consistently slow
link redialled forever. Both paths now share one helper that settles every
ambiguous outcome (timeout, mid-flight drop) like a rejection and rejects only
when the frame never reached the wire — the one case nothing else recovers from,
since the socket's own desync force-close is gated on already being connected.
The generation guard still keeps a replaced session from connecting.

Retained structured-session operation ids were capped at 128 with oldest-first
eviction, but every retained id belongs to a send whose outcome is unknown, so
eviction turned a user's retry into a second message on the host. Bound the map
by expiry against the id's own embedded timestamp instead, mirroring the host's
operation ledger, so no id is released while the host would still honour it.

Also give the mobile CI install the root install's lockfile drift guard (mobile's
lockfile carries patchedDependencies a silent rewrite would drop), gate
mobile_dependencies on should_run, and key the pnpm store cache on both lockfiles.

* refactor(mobile): extract the relay pending-request registry

The merge composed two independently-sized changes — this branch's capability
handshake settle and main's dial-stage tracking — pushing the relay session file
to 304 lines against a 300 cap. Neither side broke it alone.

Move the in-flight request registry (id generation, tracking, settlement, and
reject-all with its delivery-ambiguity marking) into RelayPendingRequests,
matching the existing collaborator pattern alongside RelayDialStageTracker and
RpcSessionLivenessWatchdog. No behavior change.

Neil 968dbd905f perf(renderer): take the English catalog and the xterm WebGL addon off the boot graph (#18326)
* perf(renderer): take the English catalog, xterm WebGL addon and emoji data off the boot graph

The renderer's boot graph — the entry chunk plus its 331 modulepreload links,
all fetched and evaluated before first paint — carried three payloads nothing
needs at that moment.

`en.json` (644 KB) was an eager i18next resource, but every renderer string
goes through `translate(key, fallback)` and `en` resolves that inline default,
so most of the catalog was dead weight. The renderer now bundles a generated
`en-runtime-required.json` holding only the 2,583 of 13,828 entries a default
cannot reproduce: plural-suffixed keys, keys whose catalog value differs from a
call site's default, and keys no call site references with a literal default.
`en.json` stays the translator source and the input to the four lazy catalogs.

`@xterm/addon-webgl` (243.6 KB) and `emojibase-data` (170 KB) are now primed
right after the React root renders instead of statically imported. The load
stays eager and `attachWebgl` stays synchronous — it reads the resolved
constructor — so no terminal ever falls back to the DOM renderer for a frame.

`isPluginPanelTabKey`/`isQualifiedPluginKey` move to schema-free sibling
modules, re-exported from `plugin-manifest.ts`. This evicts the plugin manifest
schema graph from the boot chunk but measures ~0 KB, because six other shared
modules still put zod on the boot path.

Boot graph: 332 chunks / 5107.2 KB -> 336 chunks / 4161.5 KB (-945.7 KB, -18.5%).

A new ratchet parses the built index.html and fails if `en.json`,
`@xterm/addon-webgl` or `emojibase-data` is preloaded again; it runs at the end
of every `build:electron-vite`.

* chore(i18n): pin the generated English subset to LF and mark it generated

* fix(i18n): make the runtime-catalog gate merge-robust and prime emoji data in tests

CI builds the merge of a PR with main, so a byte-for-byte comparison against a
committed generated file fails the moment any unrelated PR adds a translate()
call — which is what happened here. The check now asserts the property that
actually matters instead of byte equality: every runtime-required entry is
shipped, and nothing shipped disagrees with en.json. Entries that stopped being
required are dead weight, never a wrong string, so they are reported and
tolerated. Failures now name the offending keys rather than saying "stale".

The generator itself was already deterministic (plain code-unit sort, no
locale collation, order-independent set construction); a test now pins that a
reversed call-site walk produces byte-identical output.

Test fixes for the catalog prune and the deferred emoji load:
- browser-search / NativeChatSupportedAgents asserted key presence on the
  renderer's runtime resource. The durable contract is en.json — the renderer
  deliberately no longer bundles entries a call site default reproduces — so
  they assert against the translator catalog.
- Four emoji tests typed a shortcode in the same tick as mount, before the
  catalog the hook primes on mount resolves. Not reachable by a human; the
  tests now await the prime.

* revert(renderer): keep the emoji shortcode catalog statically imported

Deferring emojibase-data introduced a window that did not exist before: until
the dynamic import settled, getPrimedEmojiShortcodeEntries returned [], so
exactShortcodeIndex built an empty map and replaceCompletedWorkspaceEmojiShortcode
returned null — leaving a typed `:wink:` in the field literally, and persisting
it as the workspace display name.

Pre-change the shared catalog was statically imported, so the first call at any
tick returned full data. The window is reachable by anything that dispatches
input in the same task as the field's mount effect — Playwright/CDP in the e2e
suite and agent automation both do, and the WorktreeMetaDialog test failure was
exactly that, producing 'Feature 😉' instead of 'Feature 😉'.

Nothing that resolves a shortcode can be async without that race, and a wrong
persisted name is not an acceptable trade for 166.7 KB, so the deferral is
reverted rather than papered over in the tests. The boot-graph ratchet drops
its emojibase-data probe and records why.

Boot graph: 5108.9 KB -> 4329.9 KB (-779.0 KB, -15.2%), down from -945.7 KB.

* fix(terminal): make the deferred WebGL addon load recoverable and refit on late attach

Two defects the deferral introduced, neither possible with a static import.

A failed load latched the DOM renderer for the whole session. `.then(onOk,
onError)` settles fulfilled, so the memoized promise was cached forever with a
null constructor: attachWebgl's re-prime got the cached promise back, and
resetTerminalWebglSuggestion — the documented "GPU setting changed, retry" path
— could not clear it either. The rejection path now clears the memo, latches the
queued panes the way a failed construction does so they retry at a recovery
boundary rather than every frame, and caps attempts so a genuinely missing chunk
is not re-fetched forever. The recovery boundary re-arms it.

The queued-attach drain skipped the refit. Every other late-attach path pairs
attach with a refit because the grid was measured under DOM cell metrics and
WebGL floors the device cell width. Post-deferral, openTerminal's attachWebgl
queued and returned, the initial fit rAF then measured DOM metrics and sized the
PTY from them, and the addon attached with no refit — a persistently narrow PTY
and an unpainted right gutter, not a one-frame flicker. Both paths now go
through one attachWebglAndRefit pairing so they cannot diverge again.

Regression tests cover both, and each was verified to fail without its fix.

The addon-load state machine moves to terminal-webgl-addon-loader.ts and the
viewport presentation helpers to pane-viewport-present.ts, keeping
pane-webgl-renderer.ts under the 300-line budget without a suppression.

Neil f37d2fec97 fix(linux): land the reviewed Linux packaging stack on main (#18100)
* fix(linux): give the CLI one entrypoint by extracting the AppImage once

* refactor(linux): trim AppImage CLI registration seams

* test(cli): assert registration lock serialization

* fix(linux): fence AppImage terminal shim mounts

* fix(linux): accept extracted AppImage runtimes with APPDIR only

* docs(linux): make headless AppImage extraction runnable

* refactor(linux): import bundled launcher directly

* fix(linux): reclaim superseded AppImage payloads and packaged symlinks

Pruning removed 3215 of 3216 files from a superseded generation and always
stranded resources/app.asar, leaking ~105 MB per version update. Electron's
asar shim reports a *.asar file as a directory, so the recursive remove tried
to rmdir a real file and failed with ENOTEMPTY; the .catch(() => {}) hid it.
Reproduced end to end on Ubuntu 24.04: 519M -> 623M across one update, and
519M again once the payload is actually reclaimed.

removeExtractedAppImagePayload holds process.noAsar for the removal, counted
so overlapping removals cannot hand the shim back early, and the prune site
now warns with the path instead of swallowing the rejection. All three
removal sites use it -- staging cleanup and displaced roots leaked the same
way.

Also reclaim symlinks left by a packaged deb/rpm install, which the
extracted-cache-only rule turned into a hard conflict on a deb -> AppImage
migration, and name the remedy in the conflict error.

* fix(linux): bound the CLI registration lock wait

`retries: 1000` caps the attempt count, not elapsed time, so at up to 1s per
attempt an IPC-driven registration could hang ~16 minutes against a wedged
holder with no feedback.

A legitimate holder is bounded by the extraction timeout, so wait that plus
slack and then fail with a message naming the lock file, rather than hanging.
`maxRetryTime` is forwarded verbatim to the `retry` package by proper-lockfile.

* fix(linux): stop re-extracting the AppImage on inode metadata churn

The extracted-payload cache key hashed ctime alongside dev/ino/size/mtime.
ctime moves on any inode metadata write -- `chmod +x`, which every AppImage
user is told to run, plus `chown`, an ACL or SELinux relabel, and a backup
restore -- none of which alter a byte of the payload.

Measured on Ubuntu 24.04: `chmod +x` leaves dev, ino, size and mtime
identical and moves ctime alone, so the key changed and the next launch paid
a full ~519 MB re-extraction and a multi-second stall to rebuild a payload it
already had, then pruned the old generation.

Key on content identity instead. An in-place content change moves mtime and
almost always size; a replacement moves the inode. The existing
replace-in-place test still passes.

* fix(linux): preserve unverified external displays

* chore: format reliability gate manifest

* test(packaging): split runtime resource checks

* fix(linux): fail serve when no display is available

* fix(linux): do not treat a lockless X socket as a dead display

An X server writes its lock beside its socket and both survive a crash
(verified against Xvfb under SIGKILL), so a socket with no lock was never
left by a crashed server. It is an endpoint published from elsewhere: a
container bind-mounting only /tmp/.X11-unix, WSLg, or a foreign PID
namespace. Declaring those dead made the desktop gate exit(1) on displays
that work, with no workaround, and the serve gate refuse to start.

Liveness now splits by ownership. A foreign DISPLAY trusts a lockless
socket; Orca's own :99 does not, because removeStaleDisplayArtifacts
unlinks the lock before the socket and so manufactures that state itself --
adopting it would resurrect the orphan-socket bug and stop the cleanup from
self-healing. The stale-lock rejection is unchanged.

Also correct four doc statements this behaviour falsified.

* fix(linux): fail closed when a stale socket blocks the Xvfb rebind

Readiness only checked that /tmp/.X11-unix/X99 exists. A stale socket we
could not unlink still exists after our own Xvfb refused to bind, so Orca set
DISPLAY to a dead server and Chromium died in Ozone init.

Measured on Ubuntu 24.04 against the pre-fix build: with a leftover :99
socket and no lock, serve exits 139 (SIGSEGV), the socket inode is unchanged
before and after, and no lock is recreated -- it neither cleaned up nor
respawned. To a user that is a crash, not a misconfiguration.

This is reachable in the documented topology, where orca-xvfb.service has no
User= and runs as root while serve runs as User=orca: /tmp is sticky, so the
orca uid cannot unlink a root-owned socket, rmSync fails, and Xvfb exits with
the display already active.

Readiness now requires the display to actually be live -- our socket plus a
lock naming a running process -- so the same state reports an unusable
display and exits 1 with the existing diagnosis.

* fix(linux): recognise abstract X sockets and inherited Wayland fds

Two display setups this gate could not prove were refused outright, and on the
desktop path that is app.exit(1) with no workaround.

An X server may bind only the abstract namespace (`@/tmp/.X11-unix/X0`), which
leaves no filesystem socket to stat. Abstract addresses are kernel-owned and
vanish the moment the owner exits, so an entry in /proc/net/unix is proof of a
live server -- no lock file needed and no stale entry possible. Verified on
Ubuntu 24.04, where 139 such addresses were present.

WAYLAND_SOCKET is an already-connected fd handed over by the compositor, so
there is no path to stat and WAYLAND_DISPLAY may be unset entirely. Its
presence is the display.

Both are consulted only after the filesystem-socket check fails, so no
existing verdict changes.

* fix(linux): never treat Orca's own display number as a foreign endpoint

Recognising a lockless X socket as live is correct for an endpoint published
from elsewhere -- a container bind mount, WSLg -- because an X server writes
its lock beside its socket and both survive a crash. It is wrong for
VIRTUAL_DISPLAY_NUMBER, because Orca's own teardown unlinks the lock before
the socket and so manufactures that exact state.

The managed branch was already strict, but a caller that sets DISPLAY=:99
explicitly takes the foreign path and skipped it, accepting a dead display
left by Orca's own interrupted cleanup. Route the managed number through the
strict probe on both paths.

Found by an adversarial audit of the asymmetry introduced earlier in this
branch; the documented systemd topology is unaffected because its Xvfb writes
a real lock.

* test(linux): add a packaged-artifact contract for the CLI launch paths

* test(linux): avoid buffered serve readiness detection

* test(linux): signal AppImage serve owner directly

* test(linux): tolerate readiness timeout boundary

* test(linux): add startup margin to shutdown oracle

* ci(linux): give package contracts timeout headroom

* fix(ci): route all Linux packaging contract changes

* test(linux): poll shutdown readiness without tail leaks

* test(linux): bound shutdown cleanup grace

* test(linux): assert on CLI output, not the harness's own control lines

run-cli-case.sh echoes `RESULT status=N case=<name>`, and the two cases named
*-skills asserted `expectOutput: 'skills'`. That substring was satisfied by
the case name in the harness's own line, so 2 of 8 cases asserted nothing
about the command -- gutting `skills` entirely would still have gone green.

Control lines are now excluded before matching, and both cases assert the
rendered help header, which only real help output produces. Verified on an
Ubuntu 24.04 host: 8/8 still pass against a stack-tip AppImage.

Also register the gate in reliability-gates.jsonc, which #15085 added a CI
Docker gate without. Red/green is recorded from a stock release AppImage
failing 4 of 8, three of them at status 133 (SIGTRAP).

* fix(linux): require static AppImage runtimes (#17319)

* test(linux): reject a wrong-architecture native binary at packaging time

Cross-building the arm64 slice on an x64 host silently packed an x86-64
`pty.node` -- the rebuild logged "Forcing native rebuild for linux-arm64" and
shipped the host's binary anyway. Every gate here inspects symbol versions,
which are perfectly valid on the wrong architecture, so nothing noticed.

Observed on a Raspberry Pi 5: the packaged app loaded, then failed with
"Failed to load native module: pty.node", and the launch contract reported
3 of 8 cases crashed rather than naming the cause. Swapping in the aarch64
`pty.node` took the same build to 8/8.

Compare ELF `e_machine` against the slice being packaged and fail with the
offending path. Checked before the glibc pass, because a wrong-architecture
binary's symbol versions are valid but meaningless and would send the reader
down the wrong path.

Release CI builds arm64 on a native runner, so this guards local and future
cross-builds rather than a shipped artifact.

* test(linux): judge per-arch vendored binaries against their own path

The first CI run of the architecture gate failed the x64 package job on
`@parcel/watcher-linux-arm64-glibc/watcher.node`. That binary is arm64 on
purpose: the package ships every architecture and its loader picks the match,
so its presence in an x64 build is correct.

Judge a binary against the architecture its own path names, falling back to
the slice when the path names none. That keeps the case this gate exists for
-- `bin/linux-arm64-*/node-pty.node` holding an x86-64 binary, which is what
shipped to a Raspberry Pi 5 -- while letting multi-arch dependencies through.

Dry-run over the real dependency tree flags nothing for either target arch.

* fix(linux): describe the right manual update path for deb/rpm hosts

A remote host installed from .deb or .rpm now reports
manual-service-update-required, and the guidance told the operator to
"update through the service manager that starts this server" -- which is
correct for unsupported-headless-serve but wrong for a package install,
where nothing about the remedy involves the service manager.

Say both, keyed on how the host was installed.

* docs(linux): use absolute service CLI launcher

* fix(serve): validate in-process serve options before startup (#17683)

* fix(linux): stop offering updates a distro-managed install cannot apply (#17918)

Closes #17702.

The resources/package-type marker is authoritative but never checked against
the host, so any repackager that unpacks Orca's .deb -- AUR, Nix, a container
rebuild -- inherits `deb` verbatim. Install feasibility was then computed
after a ~165 MB download, so those users got check -> download -> a card
promising an install command -> a dead end.

Validate the marker against the host: a deb/rpm marker with no matching
package manager in the trusted directories means a package manager owns this
install. This reuses the exact lists and resolver that
buildLinuxPackageInstallCommand already loops over, so a false positive is
impossible by construction -- any host flagged here would have failed with
no-package-manager after the download anyway. The gate only moves that
verdict earlier. Verified across Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04, Arch, Fedora 40 and
openSUSE Leap: no false positive on a real deb host, correct on every
repackaging host.

The release is still reported, because the user does want to know 1.4.194
exists and to update through their distro; only the download path is closed.
`externallyManaged` is an additive optional field on the existing `available`
status, so older paired clients decode it unchanged. downloadUpdate() refuses
authoritatively, since main owns this verdict rather than the card, and
unwinds any pinned-build state first -- a Linux pinned jump resolves to
'release', and stranding isPinnedBuildActive would silently kill every
background check for the rest of the process.

Note the fix the issue suggests cannot work: electron-updater builds a
PacmanUpdater whose doDownloadUpdate looks for a .pacman asset Orca does not
publish, then dereferences undefined.

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

* 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.

Neil e84042572c Upgrade xterm to 6.1.0-beta.303 and generate addon patches
* Upgrade xterm to 6.1.0-beta.303 and generate the addon patches

Takes the current xterm beta line: xterm 287 -> 303, addon-webgl 286 -> 299,
addon-serialize 287 -> 300, headless 302, the remaining addons -> 300, and the
same set on mobile. All four packages stamp upstream commit d3e32b3.

The reasons are upstream #6042/#6043/#6055 (a shared glyph atlas no longer
garbles sibling panes on a page merge, clear, or sampler-budget overflow) and
Note that core 303 is not image-addon-only over 302: it carries the buffer perf
work, including the new BufferLineStringCache.

addon-webgl and addon-serialize move into the patch generator
--------------------------------------------------------------
Both were hand-edited minified bundles, which is what the Known Gaps section of
docs/reference/xterm-patch-regeneration.md described. Both reproduce byte for
byte from the pinned commit, so they are now manifest entries generated from a
source patch like @xterm/xterm already was. Their sourcemaps now move with their
bundles; before this they shipped maps whose offsets did not match the code
beside them.

The webgl patch shrinks from a 1.06 MB hand-edited bundle to a 6.6 KB source
patch, because upstream took the invalidation half Orca had backported. What is
left is only what upstream still lacks: the fragment-shader else branch for a
v_texpage past the sampler budget, the clearTexture guard that no-ops once a
merged page holds index 0, spending the merge retry budget before beginFrame
latches the version it saw, and Orca's font-weight probe.

The serialize source patch is byte-for-byte the same fixes as before; upstream
changed nothing in that addon between 287 and 300.

Generator fixes, each of which failed silently
----------------------------------------------
- `--relative` was appended after the `--` separator in CHECKOUT_DIFF_FLAGS, so
  git read it as a pathspec and kept repo-root-relative paths, dropping every
  source hunk from an addon's patch.
- `git apply` run from a package subdirectory still resolves patch paths from
  the repo root, skips every hunk and exits 0. It now runs from the root with
  `--directory=<packageDir>`, and a source patch that leaves the checkout
  unchanged is a hard failure rather than an empty patch.
- An addon's own `tsgo -p .` has empty files/include and only project
  references, so it emits nothing and the addon webpack then fails on a missing
  ./out/. The root build now runs first.
- versionStampFile is optional; publish.js stamps an addon's package.json, which
  overlayBuildOutput never patches.
- On a version bump the lockfile has no entry under the new key yet, so --write
  reports the gap instead of aborting mid-run. --check still fails on it.

Adding the two addons pushed the generator and the Electron packaging contract
test over max-lines, so the patch-text helpers move to xterm-patch-text.mjs
(pure text: no checkout, no build) and the vendored-xterm assertions move out of
the packaging contract into xterm-webgl-runtime-contract.test.mjs.

Tests
-----
Four tests asserted upstream bugs that are now fixed, not Orca behaviour:

- xterm-user-scrolling-contract pinned headless and core by version string.
  Upstream bumps each package only when its own output changes, so headless 302
  and core 303 are the same source. It now asserts they share a commit.
- Five CSI 3 J assertions expected a reader stranded at the top after an erase.
  Upstream #6081 clears isUserScrolling there, so the erase releases them to the
  bottom instead. Orca's pin still lands them correctly, because its parser
  handler observes the erase before xterm's own handler runs.
- The IME transaction test hard-coded the xterm version; it now reads the
  installed package, since the point is that bundle, map and version agree.
- The Electron runtime contract asserted Orca's old clearModelGeneration. Shared
  atlas invalidation is upstream's now, so it asserts pageLayoutVersion on the
  resolved dependency, plus the Orca-only hunks on the patch.

Verified: 66,008 unit tests, mobile's 3,863, the four WebGL atlas e2e specs, and
`regenerate-xterm-patches.mjs --check` in sync on all three packages.

Left alone deliberately: resetAllTerminalWebglAtlases still fans out globally
even though clearTexture now self-heals siblings, and upstream #6068
(WebglAddon.dispose leaks the GL context) is still open.

* Drop the two unused WebGL atlas fan-out exports

resetAllTerminalWebglAtlases and presentAllTerminalPanesWithoutAtlasClear have
no callers, and had none at cadfc55102 either — the last call site went in
#6949, which routed reveal recovery through
resetAndRefreshAllTerminalWebglAtlases instead. Only a comment in
pane-manager.ts still named the first one; it now points at the live entry
point. scheduleRevealPresent leaves the registry's structural type with them,
though the manager method stays: terminal-visibility-resume.ts calls it
directly.

This is dead-code removal, not a consequence of the xterm bump. The live
recovery path is unchanged.

resetAndRefreshAllTerminalWebglAtlases stays, and so does the reveal-time
escalation in pane-reveal-repaint.ts. Upstream 299 does make a pane-local
clearTexture bump pageLayoutVersion so siblings rebuild on their next frame,
which is the bug the escalation was written for, but I could not demonstrate
that removing it is safe: with the escalation removed,
floating-workspace-shared-glyph-atlas.spec.ts still passed headful, and it also
passed with upstream's mechanism deliberately disabled (pageLayoutVersion
pinned to 0 in the installed bundle, verified present in the built renderer).
A guard that passes with the fix disabled cannot license removing the
workaround, so the escalation stays until that spec can reproduce the garbling.

Verified: pane-manager and terminal-pane suites (4,713 tests), typecheck, the
headful shared-atlas spec, and the three headless WebGL specs.

* Give the shared glyph atlas spec a trigger that can fail

floating-workspace-shared-glyph-atlas.spec.ts guards the corruption where one
terminal wiping the module-global atlas leaves sibling terminals drawing from
stale texture coordinates. Both of its tests drive that through a floating
panel reveal, and Orca's reveal paths escalate to a registry-wide atlas reset
that repaints every pane — so the recovery under test heals the damage before
the assertion runs, and the tests pass whether or not xterm propagates the
invalidation at all.

The new test clears the shared atlas straight through the floating manager with
the panel closed, so nothing else repaints the workspace terminal, then repaints
it with terminal.refresh(). That is the load-bearing detail: _updateModel skips
cells whose content is unchanged, so the refresh reuses vertices baked against
the pages that were just wiped, which is exactly the state the fix has to
recover from.

Verified as a discriminator rather than assumed. Pinning ITextureAtlas's
pageLayoutVersion getter to 0 in the installed bundle, which disables the
per-renderer invalidation upstream added in addon-webgl 0.20.0-beta.299, and
confirming that reached the built renderer:

  fix intact:   siblingClearIntact=true   1 passed
  fix disabled: siblingClearIntact=false  1 failed

The failure renders the workspace terminal completely blank — stale coordinates
into a wiped atlas sample nothing. The two reveal tests pass unchanged in both
configurations, which is the gap this closes.

* Compare shared-atlas screenshots with tolerance instead of byte equality

Byte equality fails on sub-pixel antialiasing noise that leaves every glyph
legible, so the headful spec flaked under xterm 303. Reuse the existing
compareTerminalScreenshots helper: real stale-model corruption blanks the
terminal at ~3% of pixels, twice the helper's 1.5% threshold, so the looser
oracle keeps its teeth. Log the ratio so failures are diagnosable.

* test(xterm): strengthen runtime patch contracts

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

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

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

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

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

Existing heal tests are unchanged.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(ci): pin Codex contract dependency coverage

Neil 7b467bd0a6 ci: gate PRs on a real input method, and prove the lane engaged one (#17365)
* ci: gate PRs on a real input method, and prove the lane engaged one

No job on the PR gate has ever run a real input method. pr.yml and e2e.yml are
ubuntu-latest with CDP `Input.imeSetComposition`, which is a synthetic
composition; the only job that drives ibus-hangul through xdotool is
terminal-ime-e2e.yml, and it is schedule + dispatch only. A PR could turn the
real-IME path red and merge green.

Route IME source to that lane from pr.yml through the existing
pr-e2e-source-routing mechanism, so it runs on IME-touching PRs and nothing
else. The lane stays out of verify.needs — advisory, like `e2e` — because its
reliability is known only from nightly main runs. Deliberately no
continue-on-error: that reports green and hides the signal.

The harness fails open in ways that all look like success: Playwright reports a
skipped test as a pass, so an unset ORCA_E2E_NATIVE_IBUS_HANGUL, a renamed test,
or a session with no engine all exit 0 having exercised nothing. The specs now
append an engagement receipt only after observing real composition events, and
the runner requires one per expected test before the lane may report success.

Also drop the native spec from changed-e2e: it was already routed there by its
own filename, where it self-skips for want of an ibus session and reported that
skip as coverage.

Brennan Benson 6bef6d2727 fix(ci): stop the Linux Electron probe step from starving its own probes (#17071)
* fix(ci): stop the Linux Electron probe step from starving its own probes

The package job's "Test Linux Electron lifecycle boundary" step ran five
Electron probe files under Vitest's default file parallelism, so four full
Electron stacks competed for a 4-vCPU runner. Each probe carries its own
in-process deadline (20s for WebRTC, 25s for H3), and every observed failure
was one of those deadlines expiring: exit code 2, "no result", with every
sibling file in the same run slower than its own green maximum.

Run the step with --no-file-parallelism so each probe owns the runner, and
stop each probe nesting a private `xvfb-run --auto-servernum` X server inside
the step's own xvfb-run: reuse an inherited DISPLAY, and only own one when
there is none (shards, local dev), which leaves those lanes unchanged.

Also set each Docker-SSH E2E step's Playwright output aside before the next
step starts, because Playwright empties test-results/ on every run and only
the last lane's traces survived to the artifact.

Brennan Benson fd9125ea8c feat(native-chat): Codex structured native chat restructure (#16729)
* feat(native-chat): port structured Codex sessions from restructure-recovery

Rebuilds the desktop structured native-chat implementation from
brennanb2025/native-chat-restructure-recovery (tip 4e31c08db3) on top of
current main as a single commit, scoped to the local Codex path.

Ported:
- Structured agent-session core: durable record store + single-writer lease,
  canonical journal, agent-session wire host/attach/eviction/subscribers,
  `agentSession.*` RPC surface (registered via ALL_RPC_METHODS; host-side
  mobile allowlist included for wire compat), pty write gate, transcript
  additions, and the Codex app-server adapter/launch resolution.
- Renderer: NativeChatStructuredSession view/composer stack, structured
  launch path with the single-flight guard, local structured session tabs
  sync, activation gate + structured inventory (read-only
  `agentSession.handoffStatus` probe), agent-session tabs in the tab strip,
  AI-vault structured session activation, and the settings pane with the
  parent Experimental Chat UI toggle plus the nested "Use updated structured
  native chat" toggle. New sessions require both flags, agent codex, no
  prompt, and a local non-WSL, non-Windows-host execution host
  (structured-native-chat-availability).
- Fixes 72c013cea6 (verified Codex launch recovery), 8ddbaf5e3d (defer
  native terminal view switching affordances), and 4e31c08db3 (release the
  launch gate after a visibility retry) with their regression tests,
  including the third-launch-after-retry guard case.
- Cross-version agent-session wire test + CI lane, packaging entries
  (proper-lockfile, agent-tooling asar excludes), and the wire-compat doc
  section.

Deliberately not ported: mobile/ changes, the Claude structured runtime
(only the claude-transcript-branch-proof and claude-structured-owner-identity
leaf modules remain, backing the kept TUI-recovery arms), the terminal↔chat
adoption/handoff flow (`agentSession.adoptTerminal`/`requestHandoff`, the
handoff request engine, TUI adoption machinery, orca-runtime adoption
methods), renderer switching affordances and their dead leftovers, the
hook/subagent-status refactor cluster, and unrelated branch changes. The
crash-during-acquisition recovery path (restart handoff adjudication,
restore/reverse re-acquire, lease schema handoff keys) is kept because every
plain direct launch depends on it; a trimmed handoff coordinator exposes
only status/restore/close.

Branch edits that targeted files main has since split (ipc/pty.ts,
worktrees.ts, rpc/methods/terminal.ts, useIpcEvents, pty-connection,
store/slices/terminals.ts, runtime-types, web preload) were re-applied to
the split modules, preserving main's newer logic (Windows CIM fallback,
browser tab close rework, cold-restore resume flow, dispatcher threading).

Known seam: the mobile clipboard image-provenance CONSUMER gate ships
(agentSession.send refuses unproven mobile image refs with
agent_session_image_untrusted) but the producer hunk in
rpc/methods/clipboard.ts stays with the unported mobile cluster, so mobile
image sends into structured chat fail closed until that side ports.

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

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

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

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

gyp expands the node-addon-api dependency by probing node, whose cwd
resolves to the package's physical directory in the store, so the emitted
target is a store-relative ../../../../node-addon-api@... hop. gyp then
resolves that hop against the rebuild cwd; from the node_modules
symlink/junction it escapes the store and configure fails with
"node_addon_api.gyp not found" (run 32999886072).

Rebuild from realpath(package dir) so both bases agree, matching how the
package manager itself runs native install scripts. The regression test
replays gyp's expansion+resolution against the planned cwd and fails
without the fix.

* fix(native-chat): keep chat tabs visible through terminal closes and empty-worktree launches

Two proven blockers in the native Codex tab contract:

closeTerminalTab pre-empted the canonical unified close. With one terminal
left it deactivated the worktree on a terminal/editor/browser-only check,
blanking a workspace that still held a renderable agent-session tab; with
two or more it pre-picked a successor from terminal entities only,
re-stamping the group active before closeUnifiedTab's MRU/neighbor repair
could land on the chat tab. Successor choice now defers to the unified
contract whenever the terminal has a unified row, and deactivation is
gated on the unified renderable count (matching leaveWorktreeIfEmpty),
with the legacy pre-pick kept only for terminals without a unified row.

A structured session created on an empty worktree was published into the
host's headless group while preserveLocalLayout froze the local layout,
leaving the tab in store but permanently off screen. A preserveLocalLayout
owner now always takes client-owned placement — repairing a rendered
leaf whose group record is missing, or materializing a rendered group on a
truly empty worktree — and applies the client-derived layout repair while
still rejecting host-authored layout.

Regression tests drive the real store through closeTerminalTab (git
worktree and folder workspace) and the real snapshot applier for the
empty-worktree adoption states; all fail without the fixes.

* fix(native-chat): anchor an unmatched chat echo where it was sent

The reported symptom was old user messages replaying below every new turn, so the
conversation read as scrambled. The cause was not that the echo failed to match a
transcript row. Claude consumes a mid-turn send through a `queued_command`
attachment and writes no `type:"user"` record for it, so some echoes can never
match, and no amount of matching will change that. The cause was WHERE an
unmatched echo rendered: buildMobileNativeChatTransientData appended every pending
item after the entire transcript, so it re-read below each turn that landed
afterwards.

Render each echo directly after the transcript row it was sent against, using the
baseline the send already captures. An unmatched echo is then at worst a duplicate
in the right position rather than a scrambled one, and it stays visible. Echoes
sharing an anchor keep send order; a send with no baseline, or one whose anchor
folding dropped, still falls back to the tail.

Deliberately NOT fixed by deleting the echo. Inferring from send ordering that an
echo can never match, then removing it, loses the user's own text for a message
the agent did receive, and it cannot fire in the common case anyway - measured
drain groups are 1,017 of size 1 against 55 larger. It also escalates an existing
gap: the count pass has no baseline-tail guard, unlike the glue pass, while
`messages` is a 40-row window that head-trims, resets on reconnect and grows at
the front on loadEarlier, so a false landing there would license deleting a
DIFFERENT outstanding message.

That count-pass gap is real and left for a separate change; anchoring makes its
worst case a duplicate in place rather than a scrambled conversation.

canUseStructuredNativeChat only refused win32 when a project runtime

win32 unconditionally after the host check, matching the settings copy:
local macOS/Linux only; Windows/WSL/SSH stay on terminal chat.

* fix(native-chat): restore runtime refusals behind the win32 gate

506d375de3 replaced the project-runtime checks with a bare platform test,
so a WSL or repair-required runtime resolution would no longer refuse
structured chat off-win32. Keep the unconditional win32 refusal and
re-run the runtime resolution after it, so the gate does not depend on
the resolver's own platform guard. Tests inject WSL and repair-required
resolutions on darwin/linux and fail against the regressed gate.

patch in either form, so the load-bearing build edits come solely from
applyWindowsProcessTreeBuildFixes() (#16947), which handles both source
EOL forms. Restore byte-identity with main and repin the contract test
to the post-#16947 reality: LF-only patch bytes plus lockfile hash sync.

Neil 971d987c4b ci(e2e): trigger the Docker-SSH lane from SSH source and claim every gated spec (#16746)
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Neil d1a11b3299 fix(pty): match the echo shapes a real tty actually produces (#16542)
Reply echo suppression modelled two echo shapes from the spec rather than from
a tty. Captured under node-pty against real bash, at a readline prompt and
under `read`:

  - Readline mangles CSI replies, not just OSC: `ESC [ ?` becomes BEL and the
    residue echoes. The projection was gated on an OSC introducer, so a private
    DSR echo was never matched at a readline prompt. This is the reachable one:
    a mode-2031 theme push (`CSI ?997;1n`) left latched by an exited TUI paints
    `997;1n` on a bash prompt (#9993's scenario).
  - ECHOCTL carets EVERY control, not just ESC. A BEL-terminated OSC reply
    echoes as `^G`, but the needle kept a literal BEL — a string no tty
    produces. Hardening only: every in-tree OSC reply is ST-terminated
    (terminal-osc-color-reply.ts:112, xterm's own reply), so the changed byte
    is unreachable except from a foreign or older emulator.

Why this is not the CSI projection #13160 review dropped: that one was the
identity (`replaceAll('\x1b]', …)` is a no-op on a CSI reply), so it was
ESC-led and 500ms-held bare-ESC tails away from the query parser. This one is
BEL-led. The rule is now asserted for every shape rather than implied by the
gate: holdPartial iff the needle does not start with ESC.

The readline branch is keyed on the private-DSR grammar with a non-empty
parameter list, plus a floor on needle length. The containment grammar admits
`CSI ? n`, and `answerLiveQueryReply` takes client-supplied bytes on the relay
path, so a peer could otherwise arm a two-byte `BEL n` needle and delete the
first bell-then-`n` in ordinary output. #61c65151129 proved this system can eat
real output when a needle outlives its budget; a length floor is cheap.

Live coverage: pty-reply-echo-shapes.node-pty.test.ts writes a reply to a real
bash master and feeds back what it echoes, so a shell or libc change fails the
suite instead of silently disarming suppression. Registered in the
shell-contracts lane. The transcript tests and the caretEcho helpers that
encoded the same ESC-only assumption are corrected alongside.

Suppression is display-only. This does not change what reaches the child's
stdin — the reply is written to the master either way, in call order.

Neil e217fdd10f build(orcad): gate orcad's own graph, and prove it loads under plain Node (#16368)
* fix(orcad): close the browser-provider gaps

The providers landed without enforced coverage, so a regression in either path
would have landed silently.

- CI: the external-Chromium integration test was gated on ORCA_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE
  and nothing ever set it, so it skipped forever. It now runs in its own job
  against the runner's Chrome and FAILS when Chrome is absent rather than
  skipping, because an unset variable is exactly how it went uncovered. Timeout
  raised to 120s: a warm run is ~7s but the first launch against an unseeded
  profile took 30s and hit Vitest's default, and CI is always that cold case.
- Electron provider had no test at all. It is the path anyone with the desktop
  app hits.
- Browser unavailability reported one message for four causes, including telling
  an operator to set a variable they had already set.

Fixes a live defect found while covering it: the runtime advertises
browser.tabCreate.known-id.v1 unconditionally, so a web client sends a
provisional page id for a page that does not exist yet — and the sidecar's
generic requestedPageId branch ran require() on it first and threw. Every
known-id create against the Electron provider failed. The adoption logic was
already there; only the ordering was wrong.

Also updates the workflow-parallelism guard, which correctly caught the new job
missing from verify's required-check list, and asserts verify actually reads it.

* build(orcad): gate orcad's own graph, and prove it loads under plain Node

Two gaps the artifact's own comment asked for.

The ratchet measured only orca-runtime + runtime-rpc, but orcad imports ipc/pty
directly to install the PTY controller, so its graph is strictly larger. The gate
could read zero while the shipped artifact regressed. orcad's entry is now a
ratchet entry point, and the baseline stays empty with it included.

orcad cannot join plain-node-entry-guard — that is a rollup plugin keyed on
electron-vite input names, and orcad is an esbuild artifact. But the half that
matters here is the guard's smoke-load: scanning the metafile proves no module
NAMES electron, not that the graph resolves under plain Node. A dynamic require,
a missing native or a top-level throw all pass the scan and fail at runtime.
build-orcad now runs the bundle with a bogus flag and requires the argv rejection
that only a fully loaded graph can produce.

Verified: a bundle that builds but throws on load fails the gate.

Neil 03fcfdfb92 feat(orcad): boot the Orca runtime on plain Node (#15968)
* refactor(host): resolve the app root through the port in fork-reachable modules

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

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

Ratchet baseline 27 → 25.

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

* feat(orcad): boot the Orca runtime on plain Node

Closes the last two Electron couplings and makes `orcad` a working artifact:
a 4.43 MB Node bundle that boots, pairs, registers a repo, creates a real git
worktree and round-trips a PTY — with zero `require("electron")`.

Ratchet 2 -> 0, so `config/runtime-electron-baseline.txt` is now empty and its
test asserts exactly that: any reachable electron import is a regression.

- speech: inject the service factories, so importing ModelManager for its type
  no longer drags Electron's streaming net.request into the graph
- filesystem-watcher: add a WorktreeWatcherRemoval port. Every entry in those
  maps arrives through an ipcMain handler carrying a renderer sender, so a host
  with no renderer has nothing to close, restore or forget — the inert default
  is what the desktop code does against empty maps, not a stub hiding work
- user-data-path / profile-storage-paths: resolve userData through
  AppEnvironment. These surfaced only once orcad pulled the store in

Both host ports now anchor to a realm-global symbol. `vi.resetModules()` gives
the re-imported graph a fresh module copy, so a binding installed before the
reset silently read back as uninstalled.

The acceptance smoke drives both hosts through one code path (`--target
orcad|electron`) and seeds its own git repo, so it is hermetic and asserts the
same contract of each. Wired into PR CI.

Neil cbea7530b4 build(runtime): gate new Electron imports reachable from the Orca runtime (#15919)
* build(runtime): gate new Electron imports reachable from the Orca runtime

The runtime is meant to become host-agnostic so it can also run on plain Node,
but nothing enforced that. `orca-runtime.ts` reaches dozens of modules that
import `electron`, and the count grows silently: the import that breaks
portability is usually several hops away, so no reviewer sees the edge.

Add a reachability ratchet, modelled on the existing max-lines one. It bundles
the runtime and its RPC server with esbuild, reads the metafile for every module
importing `electron`, and diffs that against a checked-in baseline. A new module
fails; a removed one forces the baseline to tighten. The list may only shrink.

A per-file lint rule cannot do this — the point is precisely the transitive
edges — so this runs as a build gate in `pnpm lint`.

Baseline starts at 36, down from 50 before the SecretStore and AppEnvironment
ports landed, which is the migration made measurable.

Verified: gate passes clean, fails with an actionable message when an `electron`
import is added to a runtime module, and passes again when reverted.

* fix(runtime-ratchet): resolve paths from the script, not the caller's cwd

Run from anywhere but the repo root, the gate died with an unhandled ENOENT stack
instead of a usable message. It failed closed, so it was never unsafe — just
undebuggable. Anchor ROOT to import.meta.dirname and pass absWorkingDir to esbuild
so metafile keys stay repo-relative.

* ci(runtime-ratchet): actually run the gate in CI

The ratchet was wired into the `lint` npm script, but CI's static-analysis job
runs the individual checks rather than `pnpm lint`, so the gate would never have
fired on a PR — it would have looked enforced while enforcing nothing.

Runs on ubuntu-latest alongside the max-lines ratchet, so the checked-in baseline
is only ever produced by one platform.

* fix(runtime-ratchet): mark native addons external so CI can run the gate

ssh2's optional cpu-features dep points at a prebuilt .node that only exists
where a build toolchain has run. Loading it made the gate pass locally and
hard-fail on CI with 'Could not resolve ../build/Release/cpufeatures.node'.

The gate only reads the import graph, never the addon, so resolve every .node to
an external stub instead. Verified by hiding the local prebuild — which is CI's
state — and re-running: still 36 entries, exit 0.

* fix(runtime-ratchet): stop the gate failing open on Windows

The entry guard compared import.meta.url against a `file://${process.argv[1]}`
template. On Windows argv[1] is a native path (C:\repo\...) while import.meta.url
is file:///C:/repo/..., so they never match: main() never ran and `pnpm lint`
exited 0 on Windows without bundling, reading the baseline, or enforcing anything.

Use pathToFileURL, which is the idiom check-max-lines-ratchet.mjs:225 already uses.
CI runs this on ubuntu so enforcement was never actually lost, but a Windows
developer got a green gate that checked nothing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The planted violation is now caught.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Round 10 returned MERGE with one residual worth closing first.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Neil 2b1254d681 fix(windows): own PTY process trees with job objects (#15755)
* fix(windows): own PTY process trees with job objects

Teardown used to answer 'is this tree mine, and how do I kill it?' by
scraping the process table, walking parent pids back to Orca, and running
taskkill /T /F only if the walk said yes. Every step is a guess, and the
code said so itself: windows-pty-root-identity.ts:35 already named the
fix -- 'an inherited handle / Job Object'.

The guesses fail in the ways users report. A pid walk cannot survive pid
reuse, so teardown refused whenever it could not prove ownership, and a
refused kill is an orphaned agent tree holding the worktree directory
open (#9045, #10475, #10087). A descendant that reparented is invisible
to the walk. The scrape itself could be blocked by policy, which read as
'no evidence'.

node-pty now creates a job object per ConPTY and assigns the shell under
CREATE_SUSPENDED, before it can spawn anything -- assigning afterwards
leaves a window in which a fast child escapes. Termination is one
TerminateJobObject; liveness is QueryInformationJobObject.

Verified on Windows 11 against a shell whose grandchild was spawned
detached: job membership came back [shell, grandchild] and one call
killed both. Neither a parent-pid walk nor GetConsoleProcessList sees
that grandchild -- it leaves the console and reparents, which is exactly
the claude.exe/node.exe/cmd.exe orphan in #9045.

KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE means a daemon that dies without unwinding no longer
strands shells (#9195, #10415). The job is the daemon's, not the app's,
so an app-main crash still leaves sessions alive -- the guarantee
win-crash-survival-e2e asserts.

Both entry points report unavailable rather than a false success when a
pty has no job: an outer job without BREAKAWAY_OK can refuse the
assignment, and a pty from an older build has none. Reading 'we could
not tell' as 'already dead' is the original bug, so the old probe stays
as the fallback.

* test(windows): pin job ownership against a real detached grandchild

The unit tests pin the contract; this pins what the contract is for. A
grandchild spawned detached leaves the pane's console and reparents, so
GetConsoleProcessList and a parent-pid walk both miss it -- that is the
process that outlived its pane and held the worktree directory open.

Includes a guard that this build actually has job support, so a node-pty
rebuilt from unpatched sources fails loudly instead of letting every
assertion pass vacuously.

* fix(windows): correct the job liveness contract to what Windows actually does

I claimed an emptied tree would report [] and that this was the evidence
a stale registry entry lacks (#15549). Running it on Windows 11 showed
otherwise: node-pty drops its handle record and closes the job when the
shell exits, so a dead tree reports null.

Null therefore means unverifiable in the sense of
docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md -- no job support, not a ConPTY,
or no longer tracked -- and is never evidence that processes died. A
caller reading it as proof of death would have been right by accident
after a normal exit and wrong on a host that refused the assignment.

What the API does add is descendant liveness for a tree that is still
tracked, including children that detached from the console.

* fix(windows): stop a clean shell exit from reaping backgrounded processes

Measured on Windows 11: with JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE on the
per-PTY job, releasing the handle when the shell exits also killed
whatever the user had backgrounded. Typing 'exit' in a pane reaped a
detached server that survived before this patch.

That is a behaviour change nobody asked for. The approved change was
that killing the terminal daemon reaps its shells -- not that a clean
exit reaps your background job. The job's purpose is to make an EXPLICIT
teardown exact, which TerminateJobObject still does.

Reaping a dead daemon's shells now needs the daemon-level job the design
called for: the daemon assigns itself, children inherit membership, and
its closure on daemon death reaps them without touching clean-exit
semantics. Not in this PR; noted in the reference doc.

* test(windows): pin that a clean exit leaves backgrounded work alone

The counterpart to the tree-kill test. Without it, re-adding
JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE would look like a tightening rather
than the regression it is.

* fix(windows): stop a winpty pty id from matching a ConPTY job

winpty.cc and conpty.cc each mint their 'pty' id from an independent
counter, and windowsPtyAgent stores both in the same _pty field. So a
winpty-backed terminal's id can collide with a live ConPTY baton -- and
closing that pane would have terminated an unrelated pane's entire
process tree.

Both job entry points now take the shell pid and the native side refuses
unless GetProcessId(hShell) matches, which makes the id unforgeable.

Two more from the same read-through:
- ResumeThread's failure was ignored. A shell left suspended is a pane
  that never prints and never exits, which is far harder to diagnose
  than a failed spawn; it now cleans up and throws.
- handle->hJob was assigned before LoadConptyDll, which can throw. A
  baton carrying a job but never reaching SetupExitCallback has nothing
  left to close it, so the assignment moved down beside hShell.

* docs(windows): record the unsynchronised node-pty baton table

Pre-existing upstream -- the exit thread erases while the main thread
reads -- but terminatePtyJob adds an instance of it, so it belongs in
writing rather than in someone's head.

* fix(windows): close four gaps found in review

BREAKAWAY. The per-PTY job set no limits, so a child asking for
CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB was refused with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
Installers, msiexec and some updater and service-control paths spawn
that way deliberately -- they worked before this patch and would have
failed only inside an Orca terminal, which is the worst shape a bug
report can take. JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_BREAKAWAY_OK restores it; a child
still has to ask, so ordinary descendants stay owned.

EMPTY IS NOT UNAVAILABLE. The native reader returns an empty list --
not an error -- when CreateToolhelp32Snapshot fails, which is what an
EDR hook or a restricted token produces. Callers read that as 'nothing
is running' and teardown concludes a live PTY root is already gone. The
snapshot must contain the querying process; nothing else is
unfalsifiable, and one predicate catches empty, truncated and
permission-filtered tables alike.

NO DEADLINE. Replacing execFile dropped its 3s timeout. The vendored
reader latches a module-global while a request is in flight and clears
it only after draining its callbacks, with no try/catch -- so one wedge
leaves every later call queued behind a promise that never settles, and
the process table is dead for the life of the app. The bound is back.

GUESSED IMAGE PATH. executablePath was derived from the first
space-delimited token, which reads 'C:\Program' out of an unquoted
'C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe ...'. Wrong evidence is worse than
none, and the only consumer already had the full path in , so
the field is gone rather than repaired.

Also: remove_pty_baton no longer sits inside assert(), which NDEBUG
would compile away along with the call, and the job accessors hold a
lock across lookup and use -- handle values are recycled, so an
unguarded read could pass the shell-pid check against an unrelated
process and terminate the wrong job.

* fix(windows): apply the job lock once per accessor

The patch script matched a string its own replacement still contained, so
PtyTerminateJob got two lock_guards named guard and PtyListJobProcessIds
got none. MSVC caught it: error C2374 redefinition.

* test(windows): pin that a child can still break away from the job

Verified on Windows 11: 'start /b' writes its marker and no access-denied
appears. Without JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_BREAKAWAY_OK this fails, and it fails
only inside an Orca terminal -- so the failure would look like Orca
corrupting unrelated software rather than like a job-object change.

* fix(windows): stop the ownership guard from reading a closing handle

The guard called GetProcessId(hShell) to prove identity, but the exit
watcher closes hShell on another thread -- so the guard could read a
closed handle, and under strict handle checks that is fatal rather than
merely wrong. Worse, it widened the gap between validating hJob and
using it from two instructions to a kernel round-trip, and handle values
recycle: the likeliest occupant of a freshly recycled value in this
process is another pane's job.

The pid never needed a handle. It is captured at spawn and compared as a
DWORD, so the guard touches no handle at all, and hShell is now closed
inside the same lock as hJob.

Also from review:
- reject CR/LF in a cmd argument. cmd ends the command at a raw line
  break whatever the quote state, so there is no escape for it; encoding
  one anyway truncates the argument and can leave the remainder to run
  as a command. Agent prompts are this encoder's motivating input.
- ask the process table only for the fields a caller needs. Memory and
  CommandLine each cost an OpenProcess per process, inline, for every
  process on the box -- and the 1024 bound is patched out. Ancestry
  reads now skip both.
- corpus gains the degenerate quote-only and two-quote arguments.
- PtyListJobProcessIds' docblock still taught the empty-list contract
  that was corrected on the TS side, and now records that the ConPTY
  console host is never a job member.
- drop a write to NumberOfAssignedProcesses, which is output-only.
- pty_baton::hShell is initialised; ownsShell was only safe because &&
  short-circuited ahead of it.

The backgrounded-child test is rescoped: 'start /b' uses
CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE, not CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB, so it proves job
membership does not block backgrounding -- not that BREAKAWAY_OK works.
That flag rests on the Win32 contract, and I have said so rather than
letting the test imply coverage it does not have.

* fix(windows): bound retries after the process table wedges

The 3s deadline stops a caller hanging, but the timed-out call leaves its
callback in the vendored module's queue -- and that queue drains only
when the latched request completes, which in this wedge never happens.
Retrying at the caller's poll rate would add a closure per tick forever.
A 30s cooldown bounds it to one probe, and a late callback clears the
cooldown because it proves the reader recovered.

Also pins the deadlock invariant in the patch: the exit thread's lock
must close before tsfn.BlockingCall, because that waits on the JS thread
and the JS thread can be waiting on the same mutex inside
PtyTerminateJob. Correct today by scoping; a comment so a later refactor
does not widen it.

* revert(windows): drop the field-selection API, which cannot pay off

I added it for a real perf finding -- Memory and CommandLine each cost an
OpenProcess per process -- and then never wired a caller, so the claim
that ancestry reads skip them was wrong.

Wiring it would have been worse than leaving it dead. The only ancestry
consumer is the teardown identity probe, which needs a snapshot that
started AFTER it asked, for pid-recycle detection. Bypassing the shared
reader to get narrow fields would let that request join a scan already in
flight -- trading a correctness guarantee for milliseconds.

Field selection only pays off if callers can ask for less, and they
cannot: one shared snapshot serves every caller so a 32-wide teardown
collapses into a single scan, which means it has to carry every field.
The reasoning now lives next to the flags instead of in a dead export.

* fix(process): three P1s from review — a crash vector and two wedge bugs

STDIN EPIPE COULD TAKE DOWN THE MAIN PROCESS. A child that exits without
reading makes the queued write fail with EPIPE, and an unhandled error on
a stream is an uncaught exception. The child's own error listener does
not cover its stdin stream, so runProcess({ input }) against a
short-lived child was a crash, not a failed call.

THE COOLDOWN LEAKED A BATCH PER CYCLE INSTEAD OF BOUNDING IT. At expiry
every concurrent caller passed the check before any of them re-armed it,
so each enqueued a callback into the still-latched native queue and each
cycle leaked another batch. The cooldown is now re-armed BEFORE probing,
so exactly one caller gets through.

A SYNCHRONOUS THROW LEFT ITS DEADLINE RUNNING. The timer was declared
inside the try, so catch could not clear it; it fired later and wedged a
reader that had already recovered. Hoisted and cleared, and wedge state
now carries a generation so a request that lost its deadline cannot
mutate it on behalf of the one that replaced it.

Found by review once the prompts were short enough for the reviewer to
finish -- the previous two rounds died on prompt length.

* fix(process): stop a stream error from crashing the main process

Same class as the stdin EPIPE finding, two instances further on: stdout
and stderr had data listeners and no error listeners, and an unhandled
error on a stream is an uncaught exception.

Scoped to runProcess, which owns the child outright. spawnProcess hands
the streams to its caller, and a blanket handler there defeats callers
that track and remove their own listeners -- the SSH ProxyCommand
transport does exactly that, and its cleanup test caught the attempt.
Documented on spawnProcess so the boundary is explicit rather than
inferred.

* fix(windows): validate the ConPTY DLL before creating the process

LoadConptyDll throws when conpty.dll is missing -- a real state, and one
this branch hit during development. It ran after CreateProcessW and
ResumeThread but before the baton and the exit watcher were installed,
so a throw leaked the job, process and thread handles and left an
untracked shell tree running. Once per attempt, so a broken install
accumulates orphan shells on every retry.

Resolving the DLL first costs nothing and leaves exactly two throws
after creation: the CreateProcessW failure, where nothing exists yet,
and the resume failure, which already cleans up after itself.

This also closes the same leak for hProcess and hThread, which predates
the job work.

* feat(windows): add the daemon-level job the design called for

The plan specified two nested jobs and I built one. That gap is why
dropping KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE from the per-PTY job cost the approved
guarantee that a dead daemon reaps its shells -- I had one job trying to
answer two questions, and the two answers conflict.

They are separate jobs. The per-PTY job answers 'kill exactly this
pane's tree, now', and cannot be kill-on-close because its handle is
released when the shell exits, which would reap whatever the user
backgrounded. The daemon assigns itself to a second job that IS
kill-on-close; its handle is released only when the daemon dies.
Children inherit membership, so every pty is covered and the per-PTY
jobs nest inside it.

Daemon, never app: an app-main crash must still leave sessions alive,
which win-crash-survival-e2e asserts. Both jobs carry BREAKAWAY_OK, or a
child asking to break away is refused at whichever level lacks it.

Restores #9195 and #10415, which I withdrew from this PR earlier.

* docs(windows): record what the host job does not cover

An app-hosted PTY gets a per-PTY job but no crash reaping, because the
alternative is a kill-on-close job on the app -- which is precisely what
the crash-survival guarantee forbids.

* ci(windows): run the win32 suites in the PR windows job

Both were skip-on-non-win32 and had only ever run on one machine I drive
by hand -- which went unreachable at exactly the moment I needed to
verify the percent-escaping fix. Verification that depends on one box is
not verification.

The job already builds node-pty from patched source and already runs a
useConptyDll test, so the ConPTY runtime files are in place by this
step. This also makes the encoder a gate: the corpus is the only thing
standing between an agent prompt and a mangled argv, and it now runs
against real cmd.exe on every PR.

* fix(deps): refresh the lockfile for the current patch hashes

pnpm records a hash per patched dependency, and I regenerated both
patches repeatedly across the review rounds without refreshing the
lockfile. Every local run used --frozen-lockfile's looser sibling, so
nothing caught it until CI did:

  ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH  Cannot proceed with the frozen
  installation. The current "patchedDependencies" configuration doesn't
  match the value found in the lockfile

Verified with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile locally this time.

* ci(windows): build node-pty from source before the win32 suites

CI proved the encoder fix on real cmd.exe -- 26/26 -- and in the same run
proved the job suite had been testing an unpatched binary. node-pty
prefers its upstream prebuild, which does not contain this patch, so
every job-object export was absent and isPtyJobOwnershipAvailable() was
false.

That guard is why the failure was loud rather than a vacuous pass, and
it is the reason the assertion exists.

Packaging was never affected: rebuild-native-deps.mjs already builds
node-pty from source for Electron and restores the ConPTY runtime files.
The gap was the node-runtime test environment only.

Not changing requiresPatchedNodePtySourceBuild's win32 exemption here.
Its premise -- that the patch is Unix-only -- is now false, but lifting
it also needs pnpm rebuild to force a source build, and I cannot
validate that on macOS and Linux from here. Recorded as a follow-up
instead of changed blind.

* test(windows): gate the host-job guarantee in CI

The daemon-level job had one hand-run proof and no automated coverage --
the same shape of gap that let an unpatched node-pty go unnoticed until
CI caught it.

It needs a real second process, because the assertion is about what
happens when that process is force-killed: a host in a kill-on-close job
must strand neither its pty nor a grandchild spawned detached, which is
the process a parent-pid walk cannot see.

Runs in the Windows PR job alongside the per-pty and encoder suites, so
both halves of the two-job design are now gated rather than asserted.

* fix(windows): serialise host-job creation

Two callers racing PtyAssignCurrentProcessToJob would each create a job,
put the process in both, and leak the first handle -- and the handle is
what keeps a kill-on-close job alive, so a leaked one is never released.
'Only JS calls it' is not a guarantee: a worker thread with its own
N-API env shares these statics.

Also records the ordering requirement it depends on.
AssignProcessToJobObject adds only the named process; children inherit
membership, but a pty that already exists does not join retroactively
and would not be reaped. The daemon assigns at startup, before the
ConPTY warmup and before any session, which is correct today and now
stated rather than implied.

* fix(daemon): keep the host job off the startup path

Assigning the host job at daemon startup resolves the node-pty native
module, which loads the ConPTY addon -- and paying that before the
endpoint is published delayed readiness enough that daemon-boot-smoke
failed on windows-latest, deterministically.

windows-conpty-warmup already carries the comment for this exact
hazard ('setImmediate keeps the ready/handshake path ahead of the
warm-up') and I put an eager load in front of it anyway.

Moved to the pty spawn path, which already pays ConPTY cost, and
memoised. Children inherit job membership, so assigning immediately
before the first spawn still covers every pty -- and nothing can spawn
one before the endpoint exists.

NeilandBrennan c92f394cde fix(pty): delete the reply-withholding scheduler (#15578)
* fix(pty): answer a terminal colour query in its own turn

Root-cause follow-up to #15559, which stopped a CPR overtaking a deferred
colour reply but left the deferral itself in place.

Orca answers terminal queries by writing to the PTY master, which a line
discipline in ECHO copies straight back out as junk on a cooked prompt
(#12112). The guard was to withhold the write until an `stty` subprocess
proved ECHO clear — and forking is what forced the decision to be async.
Any deferral, however short, lets a reply written later in the same turn
overtake this one, so the async probe was the bug's root cause.

Read the bit synchronously instead. Linux and the BSDs redirect a
master's mode ioctls to the slave, so a `tcgetattr` on the master fd
node-pty already owns answers for the slave with no fork: measured 0.26us
against 2403us for the subprocess. With a verdict available inline, a
querying program that already cleared ECHO — every raw-mode prober,
including the colour probe behind the `gh auth login` report — is
answered in its own turn and can never be reordered.

The deferral stays for the genuinely cooked case, and the ordering
guarantee stays underneath it: hosts whose node-pty predates this patch
get no sync probe and fall back to the deferred path, which mixed
client/host versions make a live production path.

Reply routing is all-or-nothing: a payload needing neither containment
nor ordering stays on the host's own path, so a CPR answered during shell
startup cannot pass the daemon's post-ready flush gate and splice into
the buffered startup command.

Native side is fail-safe: a kernel that did not redirect would answer
from the master's own termios, whose ECHO defaults set, so the degraded
verdict is "echoing" — never a false "quiet". The JS half ships in the
pnpm patch while the binding needs a source build, so
ORCA_REQUIRE_NODE_PTY_ECHO_STATE=1 makes CI fail rather than silently
skip when it is handed an upstream prebuild.

* fix(pty): keep the flush ordered under synchronous re-entry

Three defects found in external review of the reply-ordering work.

node-pty delivers onData inside the master write, so a query can be
answered while the queue is mid-flush. `flushPendingWrites` spliced the
array off before writing, so that reply saw an empty queue, took the
same-turn path, and landed ahead of entries the loop had not written yet
— reproduced as 01, 99, 02, 03. It now shifts one entry at a time so a
re-entrant reply queues behind the rest, bounded by the length at entry
so a re-entrant push cannot spin the loop.

An overflow flush can re-enter as far as teardown. `answer` did not
re-check `closed` afterwards, so it queued behind a closed delivery,
returned true, and the reply was never written and never reported.

The payload router's ownership comment overstated its guarantee. The
`any` semantics are deliberate — returning false after a constituent was
already written would have the caller re-write the whole payload and
duplicate it into the child's stdin — so the residual mixed-failure drop
is now documented rather than implied away.

* fix(pty): delete the reply-withholding scheduler

Orca answered a terminal query by withholding the write until a probe
proved the slave's ECHO bit was clear. That was the wrong mechanism, and
it is now gone: replies are written in the caller's turn and their echo
is contained on the output side, where it always was.

Withholding never removed an echo. The wait was bounded and always ended
in a write, so the output-side projections were doing the work the whole
time — including the readline rewrite, which happens with the tty already
raw and which therefore no reading of the ECHO bit can predict. What
withholding did add was an asynchronous write path, and that is what let
one reply overtake another and land in the next program's stdin (#15559),
what produced a re-entrancy inversion inside its own flush, and what four
rounds of regressions have lived in.

The last thing it covered was the verbatim echo of a `stty -echoctl` tty.
That shape is now projected directly. It starts with ESC, so it is
matched only when complete and never held as a partial: holding it would
take a bare trailing ESC from the query parser and an expired hold would
release it raw, so a query torn at its own ESC would never be answered.
Complete-match-only is what makes the shape safe to project at all.

Measured on a real pty: a cooked-mode master write is both echoed AND
delivered — ECHO copies the bytes without consuming them from the slave's
input queue, so a program arming raw mode with TCSANOW/TCSADRAIN (libuv's
setRawMode, hence every Node agent) still reads them. Only a TCSAFLUSH
switcher discards it, which it does on every terminal, none of which
gates a reply on termios state.

Deletes the pending-write queue, the async stty probe, the poll budget
and probe rate limit, the deadline-driven flush, and the answer/
answerInOrder split. Replies now leave in call order by construction.
No packaging, native or CI surface is touched.

* test(pty): restore stty-probe coverage and pin the duplicate-query retry

Archaeology on how withholding got here, and what its tests were really
protecting.

Deleting the ECHO probe took four tests with it that were not about the
probe at all: they cover createSttyProbe, which the shell-readiness
line-editor probe still uses — in-flight sharing, the per-platform stty
flag, and transient-versus-permanent failure latching. Restored against
the line-editor probe, which is now their only caller.

Also pins the property that answers the one case an immediate write
cannot serve. A program that queries while cooked and then arms raw mode
with TCSAFLUSH discards the reply with the rest of its input queue.
Nothing can prevent that from the terminal side, and no terminal tries.
What matters is that such a program re-queries after its own timeout: the
ingress declines to answer an already-answered slot but forwards the
duplicate downstream, so the renderer's emulator answers the retry, by
which point the program is raw. The retry path is the recovery, not
withholding.

* ci(pty): keep the fish real-PTY test in the shell-contracts lane only

Reverting pr.yml to main dropped the exclusion for the fish query-reply
test, which this branch keeps, so it would have run in the sharded lane
as well. Restores it to the shell-contracts include list and the shard
exclude list, and drops the parallelism expectations for the deleted
cooked-querier suite and the echo-state env guard.

Neil c72a4eecdd refactor(shell): collapse the zsh wrapper to one .zshenv and a precmd hook (STA-4786) (#15391)
* refactor(shell): collapse the zsh wrapper to one .zshenv and a precmd hook (STA-4786)

Orca needs to run code after the user's own zsh startup files. It bought that by
keeping ZDOTDIR pointed at its own wrapper dir for the whole of startup and
sourcing each user file by hand -- four generated files per transport, with a
fake ZDOTDIR live while /etc/zshrc ran. That single decision is the root of a
whole bug family:

- /etc/zshrc assigns HISTFILE=${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_history unconditionally, so
  history landed inside Orca's own dir (#11044), and an epilogue had to repair it.
- zsh's sourcehome() ignores ZDOTDIR once the shell is in sh/ksh emulation, so a
  user .zshenv or .zprofile ending in `emulate sh` hid every later wrapper file.
  The emulation degrade blocks and their forked $(emulate) probes exist for that.
- One wrapper dir shared by two installed builds could mix files from both, so
  every generated file had to redefine the helpers it called.
- The baked generation-time ZDOTDIR literal is unusable when a Windows-generated
  wrapper is sourced inside WSL via /mnt/c (#8003), so the runtime path had to be
  re-derived from %x.

The wrapper now hands ZDOTDIR back on its first lines and defers Orca's work to a
precmd hook that runs at the first prompt -- after .zprofile, /etc/zshrc, .zshrc
and .zlogin, every one of which zsh reads from the user's own directory exactly
as in an unwrapped shell. Each bug above stops being reachable rather than being
repaired, and their machinery goes with them: eight of thirteen exported blocks in
shell-templates.ts, both drifted discovery bodies (unifying them closes the
"reconciling the two is a follow-up" note the file carried), and the relay's
separate ORCA_USER_ZDOTDIR shape. Generated zsh drops from 819 lines across
twelve files to 143 in three.

Two things the design has to get right, both found by running it rather than
reasoning about it:

- Every function is defined ABOVE the source of the user's .zshenv. A user file
  ending in `emulate sh` puts the rest of the wrapper under sh parsing rules, and
  the first prototype died there with `parse error near '\n'` -- silently, leaving
  the pane unwrapped. Function bodies are parsed at definition time.
- ORCA_ORIG_ZDOTDIR is vetted, not trusted. The launch config only sets it when it
  resolved a usable dir, but a pane inherits its parent's environment too, so a
  stale value from an older build can arrive on its own and would point ZDOTDIR
  back at a wrapper dir. The ownership check Node applies now also runs in the
  shell, where that route is visible.

Orca also stops inventing a ZDOTDIR: where the user has none, ORCA_ORIG_ZDOTDIR is
absent and the pane ends with ZDOTDIR unset, as an unwrapped login zsh does.

Verified on real zsh over a real PTY -- necessary, because a precmd hook never runs
in a shell started with -c, so the existing `zsh -i -c` probes could not have
exercised this design at all. src/main/zsh-startup-hook-pty-harness.ts drives the
shell to a prompt and reports through a file rather than stdout, which a PTY echoes.

* test(shell): cover the relay variant of the zsh hook in a real shell

The relay writes its own variant -- no OSC 133, remote CLI bin dir instead of the
agent-teams shim -- and it had no live coverage. It used to carry a second ZDOTDIR
shape as well, which is how it drifted from the desktop template in the first
place; now the spec flags are the only difference, and this pins that.

* fix(shell): rebase the single-file hook onto content-addressed wrapper trees

#15285 landed content-addressed wrapper roots and a per-transport fileset module
while this branch was in flight. The fileset modules are now the single place the
tree is described, so 'only .zshenv' is stated once per transport and the
required-paths check follows from it rather than repeating the list.

* test(shell): point the mixed-build proof at the relay, the one fixed wrapper path

#15285 content-addressed the desktop and daemon trees, so two builds can no
longer write the same directory there and the scenario this file covers became
unreachable on those paths. The relay still writes a fixed ~/.orca-relay/
shell-ready, so that is where the hazard survives and where the proof belongs.

* fix(test): make the zsh PTY harness survive a startup that stops to ask

Two CI-only failures, both from driving a real PTY where the old probes drove a
pipe:

- A host whose global zshrc runs `compinit` over directories it considers
  insecure stops startup and ASKS. A pipe-backed `zsh -i -c` never saw the
  question; a PTY sits at it until the timeout. The harness now answers it.
  ZSH_DISABLE_COMPFIX does not help -- that is an oh-my-zsh convention and plain
  compinit ignores it, which I confirmed by reproducing the prompt locally.
- The PS1 line was typed at t=0, so on such a host the question consumed it as
  its answer. The harness now waits for the shell to fall quiet first, which
  also stops a slow prompt framework racing the same write.

Also merges a duplicate vitest import the native code-quality audit flagged.

* fix(test): stop the live-shell assertions assuming macOS host behaviour

Two of them hardcoded what my machine does rather than what Orca owes:

- LINEINIT was pinned to 'none'. A host whose global zsh config installs its own
  zle-line-init widget has one either way; the contract is that it looks the same
  wrapped as unwrapped, which the assertion beside it already states.
- The dropped-precmd_functions case asserted HISTFILE was no longer the scoped
  path. Whether the scoped value survives at all is the host's call: macOS
  /etc/zshrc overwrites HISTFILE so it does not, and a host with no such
  assignment keeps whatever the spawn env set. Now compared against an unwrapped
  pane given the same env, which is the real contract on both.

Also notes, where the emulation cases live, that they only discriminate on a host
whose system zshrc clobbers HISTFILE -- on CI's Ubuntu the load-bearing assertion
is ORCA_HISTFILE having been consumed.

* test(shell): re-pin the fixes the four-file wrapper was built for

Archaeology over the removed blocks: each existed for a bug, so each needs the
bug shown to be unreachable rather than just the code gone. Six restored or added,
each naming the change that introduced the behaviour.

- #8003, twice: the wrapper sourced from a relocated root, and from a non-ASCII
  (token-range) one. The old file baked its generation-time path in and had to
  re-derive the runtime one from %x to avoid using it; this one bakes nothing.
  Both runs assert ORCA_SHELL_FEATURES came back consumed, so 'the user's .zshrc
  loaded' cannot pass on a pane that never read the wrapper at all.
- #4667: user startup files must see their OWN ZDOTDIR while they run, or plugin
  and theme lookups resolve into Orca's dir. The old wrapper swapped ZDOTDIR
  around each source; this one never takes it away, and the values now have to
  match an unwrapped pane's.
- #1947: a user .zshenv that returns early.
- #15258: an inherited ZDOTDIR that is an Orca wrapper dir must be refused. CI
  proved this route is live -- the launch config only sets ORCA_ORIG_ZDOTDIR when
  it resolved a usable dir, but a pane inherits its parent's environment too.
- #11044/#11146: a nested Orca inherits neither cross-process channel and no
  ZDOTDIR of Orca's, which is what makes #11044's plain shape unreachable rather
  than repaired. Verified the child-env probe detects a real leak before trusting
  it to report the absence of one.

Brennan Benson 15d2e31777 ci: bound the shell-contracts apt install so a stalled mirror cannot wedge the run (#15532)
* ci: bound the shell-contracts apt install so a stalled mirror cannot wedge the run

shell contracts wedges intermittently. It is not a lock, not a prompt, and not the
PR under test - it is download throughput with no wall-clock bound.

Measured on a passing run: apt-get update fetched 11.4 MB of index in 40s, then
apt-get install fetched 8.9 MB of packages at 65 kB/s taking 2m17s, while the
shell-contract tests the job exists to run took 14s. apt applies no wall-clock
bound to a stalled mirror, so when throughput drops below that already-poor
baseline the step runs indefinitely - observed at 12+ minutes and climbing while
every other job had passed.

The job also had no timeout-minutes, so it inherited GitHub's 6h default, and an
in-progress required check holds the whole run open and blocks rerun --failed.

Bounds both layers: timeout-minutes on the job (a passing run is ~4m30s), and
Acquire timeouts plus retries in apt.conf.d so a dead mirror fails fast while a
transient blip still passes. Written to apt.conf.d rather than onto the command
lines because pr-workflow-parallelism.test.mjs parses those invocations.

Does not make the job faster; the 3m38s of download is untouched. Scoping the
index refresh to just the PPA risks installing against a stale base index and
wants its own evidence.

* ci: bound the apt commands by wall clock, not per-connection timeouts

The first attempt at this set Acquire timeouts of 30s with 3 retries. That made
the wedge worse and the job's own timeout-minutes proved it: on this PR the
install step ran 14m26s and was killed by the 15 minute bound.

The log shows why. Acquire timeouts are per-connection, so a dead mirror costs
timeout x retries x every index file: 30s x 3 across roughly ten index files is
~15 minutes, which is what was observed. The azure archive mirror returned Ign
for every suite, apt fell back to archive.ubuntu.com, and that connection then
produced zero bytes for 14m26s.

So per-connection bounds cannot bound this step; only a wall-clock bound can.
Wraps both apt invocations in `timeout`, and drops Acquire::Retries to 1 so a
dead mirror fails once instead of multiplying. The update is already tolerant by
design, so bounding it just caps what a dead mirror costs before the install runs
against whatever index exists.

Also drops DPkg::Lock::Timeout: no lock contention was ever observed in these
logs, and an option added on speculation is not worth carrying.

Neil ef788c80c7 test(terminal): assert wide-char buffer content across repaints (#15280)
* test(terminal): assert wide-char buffer content across repaints

The first reproduction for the Korean duplication asserted on the byte
stream a pty emits, and it passes on real Windows on both ConPTY
backends. The reporter's evidence says that is the wrong surface: their
copied text pastes doubled, so the corruption is in the buffer, and in
one run the command echo is doubled while that same command's output is
clean - text that was correct when it left the shell and went wrong
while being placed on screen. A redraw landing on the wrong cells emits
perfectly legitimate bytes, so no stream assertion can see it.

These assert buffer content instead, against a cell-level model of a
grid where one glyph spans two cells. The model shares no code with the
emulator, but its rules were chosen to match observed behaviour, so it
is a regression detector rather than a first-principles oracle - the
header says so rather than overclaiming.

The largest case is a cursor positioned onto the second cell of a
two-cell glyph, then erase-to-end-of-line, then rewrite, swept across
every row and column at widths 8 to 44. That is the only place a wide
character can be half addressed. Also covered: a whole row re-emitted
over wide characters, which is the shape a console redraw takes;
snapshot round-trip of a half-addressed buffer; and reflow across 148
width pairs, which is the resize the reporter uses as a workaround.

Nothing reproduces. The emulator blanks the orphaned half correctly at
every width and column, and reflow is lossless.

The two pty specs run in the existing Windows packaging job rather than
a new lane. A dedicated runner cost roughly four minutes, almost all of
it checkout and a native rebuild, to run thirteen seconds of tests, and
Windows minutes bill at double - the packaging job already installs the
same dependencies and already runs a Windows test step.

No production code changes. An earlier revision added an environment
variable to select the system ConPTY, and it is dropped: its only effect
would have been to let a user disable the fix for an earlier duplication
bug, it logged nothing so a support bundle could not confirm it took
effect, and the tests drive the backend directly without it.

Refs #15192

* test(terminal): share the wide-glyph predicate instead of copying its regex

The duplication detector carried its own copy of the range the grid
model already exports, so the two could drift and only one would be
updated.

Neil 66a5e5d245 fix(shell): repair worktree HISTFILE in plain zsh panes via one positive feature channel (#15258)
* fix(shell): repair worktree HISTFILE in plain zsh panes via one positive feature channel

A plain zsh pane — no startup command, no agent overlay — was never wrapped, so
Orca's HISTFILE repair never ran in it. macOS `/etc/zshrc` assigns
`HISTFILE=${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_history` with no check-before-set and runs
before any file Orca controls, so per-worktree history was a silent no-op for
every ordinary pane on the primary platform.

Wrapping those panes needs a way to say which wrapper features a shell should
turn on. That channel is one exported variable, ORCA_SHELL_FEATURES, carrying a
comma-separated positive allowlist from a closed set (history, markers, ready,
identity, overlay). The wrapper .zshenv reads it into a plain, non-exported
array and unsets it in its first executable lines, before the user's own
.zshenv — so the selection survives .zshenv -> .zprofile -> .zshrc -> .zlogin in
this process but physically cannot reach a child. There is no negative or
suppression variable anywhere; an absent or inherited value can only ever mean
fewer features. ORCA_HISTFILE is consumed and destroyed the same way, which
removes the root cause of #11146 instead of patching it.

All order-sensitive wrapper work now lives in one `__orca_shell_epilogue`
defined in .zshenv and invoked exactly once, from .zshrc for a non-login shell
and .zlogin for a login shell, with each feature an independent guard.

Selection is a pure function of spawn env and launch intent, so a pane wrapped
only for history gets no OSC 133 and is observably identical to the unwrapped
pane it used to be.

Generation is now fail-closed: wrapper files are written to a temp name and
renamed, every required path is verified non-empty, and ZDOTDIR is only set when
that holds. Previously a failed write still pointed ZDOTDIR at an empty dir and
the user silently lost their entire zsh config.

Orca also recognised only its own `*/shell-ready/zsh` dir shape when deciding
what the user's ZDOTDIR was, so being launched from any other terminal that had
hijacked ZDOTDIR captured that as the user's config dir. Ownership is now
established positively — a stamped marker file, or Orca's own dir shape for
wrappers written by older builds — and an inherited ZDOTDIR holding no zsh
startup file is ignored. No vendor is detected by name.

* fix(shell): make the zsh epilogue option-proof and stop history widening relay wrapping

Review follow-ups on the feature-channel PR.

- `emulate -L zsh` as the epilogue's first statement. It runs after the user's
  own config, so `setopt no_unset` made the precmd_functions append a fatal
  error that returned from the whole function (no ready widget, ZDOTDIR left at
  Orca's wrapper dir), and `setopt ksh_arrays` made the 1-based feature
  subscript drop whichever feature is listed first.
- The `/etc/zshrc` HISTFILE repair is no longer behind the `history` guard: it
  undoes damage Orca's own ZDOTDIR caused, so it must also run for a shell that
  re-enters the wrapper after the allowlist was consumed.
- The relay keeps its own wrapping gate. Its .zshenv resolves the user's config
  dir from a ZDOTDIR Orca has already overwritten, so wrapping a remote pane
  just for `history` cost a relocated-ZDOTDIR user their whole shell config.
- A failed primary spawn no longer leaks the primary shell's launch env
  (wrapper ZDOTDIR + feature channel) into an unwrapped fallback pane.

* fix(shell): drop the relay wrapping gate and stop HISTFILE inheriting across Orca instances

The relay-specific gate added last round rested on a false premise:
main's hasOverlayRestoreEnv already included ORCA_REMOTE_CLI_BIN_DIR, and
ssh-pty-spawn-env sets that on every SSH pane whose session has a CLI
bridge — so ordinary remote zsh panes were already wrapped. The gate only
bit where remoteCliBridgeEnv is null (a host too old to report its
platform), where it silently dropped that pane's worktree history. All
three transports now share the features.length rule.

HISTFILE stays exported, so a newly wrapped pane handed the worktree
history path to every child, including a nested Orca whose panes then all
hit injectHistoryEnv's check-before-set and appended into the launching
worktree's file. Same class as the fish_history fix in #15195: recognise a
path Orca minted and drop it before the check, on the desktop, daemon and
relay injection paths and both history-disabled branches.

Also: run the epilogue from the wrapper .zshrc when zsh is in sh/ksh
emulation, since sourcehome() then reads $HOME/.zlogin and the wrapper's
.zlogin never runs; track fallback launch-env keys per attempt rather than
once from the primary; and guard the cross-file epilogue call so a wrapper
dir shared by two builds degrades quietly.

* fix(shell): make every wrapper file self-sufficient and retire the deleted marker vars from tests

- .zprofile/.zshrc/.zlogin each define __orca_resolve_user_config_dir. They
  called it on line 2 while only .zshenv defined it, so a wrapper dir written by
  two concurrently installed builds printed three "command not found" and
  skipped the user's entire zsh config. New live-shell test covers it.
- Retarget every remaining ORCA_SHELL_READY_MARKER/ORCA_SHELL_STARTUP_IDENTITY
  reference onto ORCA_SHELL_FEATURES, or delete it where the key is now dead.
- isOrcaMintedHistFile requires a leading '/', so a relative path of the same
  shape stays the user's.
- Drop an unused no-control-regex disable, and register the two real-zsh suites
  in the dedicated shell-contracts lane.

* fix(shell): stop the zsh wrapper colliding on REPLY and degrade under sh emulation

Widening wrapping from overlay/startup panes to every zsh pane turned three
latent wrapper defects into user-visible ones.

- The config-dir resolver used `REPLY`, zsh's shared scratch global, as its
  out-parameter. `typeset -r REPLY` in a user config made the wrapper's first
  executable assignment fatal, `typeset -i REPLY` silently resolved every path
  to 0; both left HISTFILE inside Orca's wrapper dir. It now writes an
  Orca-private `_orca_resolved_config_dir`, declared `typeset -g` so the
  rename introduces no `warn_create_global` noise. A new rule test fails on any
  generated wrapper file that writes a global outside Orca's namespace.

- The daemon dropped an inherited HISTFILE but never an inherited
  ORCA_HISTFILE, which now both wraps a pane the client scoped nothing for and
  re-exports another worktree's history path. The relay had the same gap on its
  isolation-off and revive paths. Both now mirror the desktop.

- A user .zshenv or .zprofile ending in `emulate sh` makes zsh ignore ZDOTDIR,
  so no later wrapper file is read and the epilogue never runs. Nothing can
  repair HISTFILE from there, so the wrapper now detects the emulation and
  hands the pane back unwrapped instead of leaving history somewhere invisible.

Also `typeset -g __orca_in_command` so the OSC 133 preexec hook prints no
warning under `setopt warn_create_global`.
