Brennan Benson ccb63afc06 fix(native-chat): a Stop still reads as yours after Orca restarts, because the turn's end reads the Stop's event (#24311)
* test(native-chat): a Stop over a card sent now into the running turn keeps it paused

Red on main: Codex's turn end withdraws the steered hand-off and the queue
sends the card again as a new host turn, with no pause recorded.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop's queue pause holds a card whose hand-off is still unanswered

A card sent now into the running turn was still pending when Stop judged the
pause, so nothing was recorded; the interrupt then withdrew the hand-off, the
card went back to waiting unpaused, and the queue sent it again as a new turn.
The pause now counts a hand-off that may still return to waiting, judged with
the appended row applied, so a withdrawal lands under the pause and an
acceptance retires it in that same write. Codex and Claude both hit it.

* test(native-chat): the Claude re-send case fails on its diff, inside the test's budget

* test(native-chat): a pause held by an unanswered hand-off ends on every path that ends it

The provider's answer, the provider dying, the chat closing, a restart, a
withdrawal still owed at open, and a /clear (refused until the hand-off ends,
then carrying every waiting card paused 'cleared'); each ends with the queue
sending again.

* fix(native-chat): narrow the pause's settled hand-off, and assert the queued receipt's card

* refactor(native-chat): derive the queue's pause from Stop and Resume journal rows

Stop now appends one journal row where it takes effect, before the interrupt,
whatever the queue holds; Resume appends its own. The pause is a pure function
of the fold: the latest Stop with no later Resume and no later accepted turn a
person asked for. A /clear's carried cards name their source, which is the
replacement's 'cleared' pause. Host-origin turns never lift either.

One predicate decides which cards a pause holds; by default every waiting card
without a hold of its own, including one queued after the Stop. The drain's
consume re-judges it inside its own transaction.

The rows are tombstones of an id no item takes, carrying the mark: a released
host reads an unknown row kind as corruption and truncates the journal there.

Deletes the stored pause (recordPause, the retire hook on every appended row,
the settle-before-record step, mayReturnToWaiting and its row overlay) and the
tests that only proved it retires. The queued_message_pauses table stays in the
schema, unread and unwritten, for downgrade safety.

* fix(native-chat): a card queued after a Stop sends normally, never ahead of held ones

A Stop's pause now holds only the cards queued before its row, plus a steer it
withdrew, which returns to its own place. Each card records the journal
position it was queued at, and the one hold rule compares that with the Stop
row. A card queued after the Stop is a new instruction: it sends as usual, but
the drain still stops at the first held card, so it never overtakes them.
/clear's pause holds the cards it carried. Holding every card again is a
one-line switch in that rule.

* fix(native-chat): the queue's own send re-checks the no-overtake rule in its transaction

The drain's pick and its consume now read one function, nextSendableQueuedCard,
so a Stop row that lands between them holds a newer card behind an older held
one exactly as the pick would. Notes why Stop and Resume ride a tombstone row.

* fix(native-chat): stop creating the unused queue pause table

The queue's pause is derived from journal rows, so nothing reads or writes
queued_message_pauses. It was still created on every open "for downgrade
safety", but an older build creates it itself when it opens the database, so
the table only sat empty in every new database. The tests now pin that no
pause table exists.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop's pause never hides the restart pause

A Stop holds only the cards queued before it. The pause derivation still
returned the Stop alone whenever it was in force, so the restart pause was
never considered: a card queued after the Stop, written by a host process
that has since exited, sent by itself after Orca restarted, with no pause
header and no Resume. A /clear pause that held nothing could hide it the
same way.

Every pause in force is now derived. A card is held if any of them holds
it, and it names the first that does. The drain's pick, the consume
transaction's re-check and the published header all read that one rule;
the header names the pause holding the first card Resume would send.

* test(native-chat): pin the Stop's no-resend, lift and held-card rules

- The Claude and Codex Stop-withdraws-a-steer tests checked "not sent
  again" at one instant, before a queue ignoring the pause re-sends. They
  now wait for the stopped turn to end and re-check after a quiet window.
- The deleted-card test read a card queued after the Stop, which sends
  whether or not a person's turn lifts it; it now reads the Stop's pause
  before and after that turn.
- Unit cases pin that a Stop holds a card with no recorded position and one
  queued before a rewind.

* refactor(native-chat): a Stop writes one Stop event with its reason, turn and caller

The Stop row that paused the queue becomes the general Stop event
{ reason, turnId?, at, caller? }, whose reason is the host's existing stop
cause. It still rides a tombstone of a host-only id (a released host deletes
the journal from the first unknown row kind), and Resume keeps its own marker
on its own id. Only a person's Stop (reason user-stop) pauses the queue.

* test(native-chat): a rewind keeps a lifted /clear pause lifted and restates the same Stop event

* test(native-chat): pin that Stop and Resume rows never reach apps or count as history

* test(native-chat): only a person's Stop event pauses the queue

* test(native-chat): pin that a Stop's event precedes the interrupt and the at-start stop

Through the real host: the event names the turn and who asked and is in the
journal when the interrupt reaches the agent; at an agent still starting it is
there before the start is ended and holds a card queued before it; an idle Stop
writes one only when it withdrew a send; and the queue's claim re-judges a
pause that landed after its pick.

* test(native-chat): a card held at a starting agent is checked before the Stop's timing

Also says precisely what the claim's in-transaction pause check defends
against: the Stop and the drain share one serialized lane.

* test(native-chat): a released build keeps and folds a journal holding Stop events

Replays this build's rows from the released build's own journal database: every
row is kept, the history after the Stop still folds, and an older client is sent
only removed ids no item uses.

* style(native-chat): format the Stop event changes

* test(native-chat): type the released build's exports through one checked helper

* fix(native-chat): the Stop/Resume row guard narrows to those tombstones only

* test(native-chat): run the Stop-event downgrade test in CI, and cover a writable downgrade

The Stop-event downgrade test ran in no CI lane: unit shards exclude the
cross-version folder, and the cross-version lane runs a fixed file list that
did not name it. It is now on that list.

Its only case replayed the rows into a release's own fresh database, because
that release cannot open the current host database. A second case opens the
journal this build wrote with a main build that shares the database: it opens
writable, keeps every row, appends, and this build then reopens it with the
person's Stop still pausing the queue.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop that stops nothing new writes no Stop event

A Stop reaching a running agent wrote a Stop event on every press. Two
presses before the first interrupt landed wrote two events, so a card
queued between them counted as before the latest Stop and was held,
though a card queued after a Stop should send normally. A Stop naming a
turn that had already ended, as a phone sends late, also wrote an event
for a turn it never stopped.

It now writes one only when it withdrew a queued send, or stops something
no event records yet: not a turn the journal no longer runs, and not the
live turn a Stop still in force already names, unless a card was handed
over into it since, which this Stop's interrupt sends back and must hold.
The interrupt and the "already finished" note are unchanged. A Stop at a
starting agent still always writes.

* test(native-chat): pin that a later host, eviction or close Stop never lifts a person's Stop

* chore(native-chat): put each Stop-row doc on its own declaration, and say only user-stop is journaled

* fix(native-chat): any later Stop event ends a person's Stop pause

A person's Stop paused the queue until their next accepted turn or Resume,
and a later Stop of another reason (the host stopping the agent, an
eviction, a close) was ignored. Now the pause is the latest Stop event's:
a later Stop of any reason ends a person's pause, and only a person's Stop
pauses. The fold keeps the latest Stop event whatever its reason.

An eviction of a resting chat writes no Stop event (a Stop that stops
nothing writes nothing), so it cannot release held cards; a test pins that
no event means no lift.

* fix(native-chat): a second Stop press is a repeat even when the first came before the turn showed

A Stop pressed before the agent's turn shows in the journal (before
Claude's echo, or before Codex opens the turn) records no turn. A second
press once the turn showed compared that missing turn with the live one,
wrote a second Stop event, and held a card queued between the presses.

A repeat is now judged by what was sent since the Stop in force: with
nothing sent after it (a refused send aside), a Stop that named no turn,
or named the live one, is repeated and writes nothing. Anything sent since
and not refused, including a send whose fate is unknown, makes the new
press write, since its interrupt may send that card back to waiting.

Tests: the two-press case across the turn showing; a steer between the
presses settled unknown; and a Stop naming a turn that ended while the next
card is sent but shows no turn yet, which writes and holds that card. The
fold test that claimed an eviction path is renamed.

* fix(native-chat): the queue's pause ignores a Stop or Resume row holding a value no build writes

A Stop or Resume row's value is read from disk with no shape check, and
the pause fold stored whatever it found. A stored `stopEvent: null` would
then throw on every pause check for that chat: the queue's pick, its
send, and every queue update to clients. No build writes such a row, so
this is hardening.

The fold now reads a Stop only when it is an object with a string reason
and a finite time, and a Resume only when it is `true`. Anything else is
ignored: it pauses nothing and ends nothing. The row is still not treated
as malformed, which could cut the history short.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop still reads as yours after Orca restarts before the turn ends

Every stop that ends work now writes the Stop's event before it ends the child: a
person's close of the chat, an eviction (worktree teardown, orchestration stop, tab
cleanup) and the idle sweep's stop of a start that never landed. A stop that ends
nothing writes nothing, and quit writes none: its resume marker records why.

The turn-end write reads the latest Stop event where every turn row is built, so the
adapter's settle, the host's fallback and the relaunch's settle all agree: a turn a
person's Stop or close named, ending with no verdict of its own after that Stop, ends
as their cancellation. A relaunch's probe-bounded end is no earlier than a Stop that
found the turn running. When the provider refuses the interrupt and the turn runs on,
a refusal row answers the Stop, so a later crash still reads Failed; pressing Stop
again after a refusal is a new Stop.

* refactor(native-chat): a stop no longer carries its cause; the turn's end reads the Stop event

The cause of a stop was threaded in memory from each entry through the host's stop
step, the adapter router and each adapter's close onto the `ended` it settled with,
and Claude kept a per-turn copy of a Stop it sent. All of that is gone: adapters
settle a turn they cut as interrupted with no verdict, the host's fallback does the
same, and the one rule where a turn row is built (`turnEndAfterStop`) reads the
journal's latest Stop event to say whether it was a person's.

- `closeSession` / `disposeSession` take no cause; `ended` has no `stopCause`.
- Claude reads an error result after a person's Stop as their cancellation from the
  journal's Stop event (through the event sink), not from a per-turn slot, and a
  refused interrupt is the host's refusal row, not `withdrawTurnStop`.
- An owed wind-down keeps no cause: its retry's fallback reads the Stop event.
- The mutation context's Stop passes no cause: its step already wrote the event, and
  the delivery loop's child-end reason is read back from it.
- A Stop pressed before its turn showed applies to the turn that opens under it,
  unless a send a person made since was accepted.

* test(native-chat): a turn a later send opened is no Stop's that named no turn

* test(native-chat): the restart test's death proof carries its detail

* refactor(native-chat): a refused Stop leaves no record; a Stop only ever ends the turn it names

The stop-refused mark is gone: its tombstone kind, its fold, the clock-keyed match that tied it to
a Stop, and the exception that let a second press after a refusal write a new Stop. A Stop that
stops nothing writes nothing. A Codex refusal names a turn that is no longer its active one, and
the Stop names that turn, so the turn running instead never reads as the person's by its id alone.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop pressed before any turn showed stops only the turn opened next

A Stop that named no turn read as the person's cancellation for every later turn that opened
after it, until a send a person made was accepted. The queue's drain, orchestration mail and a
restart continuation send as the host, so a turn they opened long after, cut by a crash, read
"Interrupted" as if the person had stopped it. The Stop now applies only to the first turn
opened after it.

* fix(native-chat): an older Claude's error end after a Stop pressed before its echo reads Interrupted

Claude CLIs before 2.1.91 end an interrupted turn with an error result that names no reason. The
translator judged whether a person's Stop explained it by its own copy of the Stop rule, which
ignored a Stop that named no turn, so a Stop pressed before Claude echoed the send read "Failed".
The translator now writes such an end as interrupted with no verdict and no error row whenever a
person's Stop may name the turn, and the journal's one rule decides as it writes the end.

* fix(native-chat): a person's Stop and /clear each name why they end the agent

The host's mutation path ended the agent with one "recorded" ending for every caller, which read
back the reason of whatever Stop event the journal held last, however old. /clear writes no Stop
event, so its end took an unrelated earlier reason. Each caller now names its own: the chat's Stop
`user-stop`, whose event its own step wrote, and /clear `user-close`, the user replacing this chat.

* fix(native-chat): a host stop judges whether it ends work after the provider's rows land

A close, eviction or host stop decided whether it ended a running turn from the journal as it
stood, while the provider's own rows (the turn its echo opened) could still be in the session's
event sink. A close landing in that gap wrote no Stop event, so the turn it cut read as news. It
now reads after the sink drains, as a person's Stop does, through the same check; a drain that
fails or takes over a second reads working.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude Stop naming a turn that just ended still marks the follow-up it cuts

A phone names the turn it last saw. When that turn had ended and a follow-up was still unechoed,
Claude's Stop interrupted the follow-up and ended the child, but the Stop's event named the ended
turn, so the follow-up's turn the child's end cut read "Failed" under "Cancellation requested.".
A Stop that ends the provider's session ends whatever is in flight, so its event now names the
live turn or none, and a Stop that names none binds the turn opened next. Codex keeps naming only
the turn the Stop names.

The Claude Stop turn-end tests move to their own file, since the session-ending Stop suite is at
its line budget.

* fix(native-chat): the idle sweep reads working by the same rule as a stop's event

The sweep judged a chat resting while a send whose reply was lost was still unanswered, but the
stop's event writer counts that send as work. So the sweep evicted it and wrote an evict event,
which ends a person's Stop pause and let the cards behind it drain on their own. The sweep's owed
work now reads the main agent working the way every session list and the event writer do.

* test(native-chat): an aborted eviction's injected drain failure lands on the eviction's own drain

A host stop now drains the session's sink once to judge whether it ends work, so the tests that
fail the eviction's drain-published step skip that first drain.

* fix(native-chat): the idle sweep's rest writes no Stop event; it evicts a send that never echoes

The previous commit made the sweep count an unanswered send as owed work, which pins a chat whose
admitted send Codex never echoes forever, and the sweep exists to retire exactly that. That rule
returns. The sweep stops only an agent it judged resting, so its eviction now writes no Stop
event, whatever send it retires: a person's Stop pause holds through it.

* fix(native-chat): stopping a start that carries no send writes no Stop event

A host stop, eviction or close of a starting child wrote a Stop event whatever the start carried.
A start with a send already reads working, so the clause only mattered for a start with none,
which ends no turn and no send: its event only lifted a person's Stop pause and bumped the idle
clock, which is why the idle sweep had been changed to close the conversation in the same pass.
The clause goes and the sweep is #24072's again. The child's end still reads host-stop, as before.

* test(native-chat): a Stop's pause across a restart is tested with a restart that writes no event

The rig's restart closes the chat with an eviction, which now writes a Stop event when work runs
and so ends a person's Stop pause. "A Stop never hides a restart's pause" then passed with no Stop
pause left to hide anything. Those tests, and the pause-lift test whose dropped assertion returns,
restart as a process that dies with no close, which like a quit writes no Stop event, and assert
that both the Stop's and the restart's pauses are in force first.

* fix(native-chat): a host stop of a turn a person's Stop is still ending keeps that Stop's reason

An eviction or host stop that landed while a person's Stop or close was already ending the same
turn wrote a newer Stop event, and the turn's end reads only the latest, so the person's Stop of
that turn read as news. A host reason now writes nothing while a person's Stop still decides what
runs: the live turn it names or bound, or, with none, the turn a send opens next. The person's
own close still writes. The E2 tests now open and end the stopped send's own turn, as Codex does,
so the mail turn after it is not the turnless Stop's.

* fix(native-chat): an older Claude's error on a later turn keeps its error text after a Stop

The translator left an error result that names no reason to the journal's Stop rule whenever a
person's Stop named the turn or none, but the rule binds a Stop naming no turn only to the turn
opened next. So a real error on a later turn read "Failed" with its error text dropped. The
translator now asks the journal's rule itself (`personStopDecidesTurn`, the one core
`turnEndAfterStop` and a host stop's in-force check share), so the two cannot disagree.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop of a start that never landed binds no later turn, whatever sent it

A person's Stop pressed while the agent starts names no turn, and the send it stopped is
cancelled before it opens one. The Stop then bound the next turn anything opened (orchestration
mail, a restart continuation, the queue's drain, all of which send as the host), so a host
eviction of that turn wrote nothing and its crash or close read as the person's cancellation. A
Stop that named no turn now binds only a turn no send journaled after it opened: any send since,
of any origin and not refused, opens its own. The E2 test's mail send is accepted as Codex
accepts it, instead of opening the stopped send's own turn first.

* test(native-chat): a rewind's restated turnless Stop binds no turn opened after the rewind

A Codex rewind restates a person's Stop still in force after the turns it keeps, at a new
sequence, so by sequence alone it would bind the next turn opened after the rewind. A send
journaled after the restated row voids that binding (the previous commit), which this pins.

* fix(native-chat): a relaunch settles a person's stopped turn with no "stopped while in progress" row

After a restart, a turn a person's Stop ended reads "Interrupted after N" with the muted mark, but
the relaunch still added the error row saying the provider stopped mid-response, which a live Stop
never writes. The settle now skips that row when every turn it interrupts is the person's Stop's
by the journal's one rule; a crash nobody stopped keeps it.

* test(native-chat): the unexpected-exit settle's journal fake answers whether a person's Stop decides a turn

* fix(native-chat): a host stop whose sink drain fails reads the journal as it stands

A host stop drains the session's sink before judging whether it ends work, and a failed or slow
drain read as working. So an eviction of an agent at rest wrote a Stop event that ended nothing,
which lifts a person's Stop pause, and a close wrote a person's event naming no turn. The drain is
now best effort: the stop goes ahead either way and only its record is at stake, so a failed or
slow drain leaves the journal's read as it stands. A person's Stop keeps its own rule.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop that named no turn applies only to a turn a send it stopped opened

A person's Stop pressed before any turn showed names no turn. It bound the first turn opened
after it, then (5ead1f6bcc) any turn opened by no later send, so a turn the host started for
a card the Stop held, or for orchestration mail, read as the person's cancellation, and a host
eviction of it wrote no Stop event when its send had been abandoned by the close first.

The rule is now the concept itself: a Stop naming no turn applies to a turn opened by a send it
stopped, one already handed to the agent at the Stop's position. Nothing new is stored. The turn's
row names the send that opened it (Codex: the submission's key; Claude: the echo, which the journal
aliases to the submission), and a handed-over send's item sits at its handover, so the target set
is derived from the journal. A card the Stop held is handed over after it, so it is no target; a
Stop of a start whose send never opens a turn binds nothing; a rewind keeps no submissions, so a
restated Stop binds no turn opened after it. With no turn running, a host stop defers to the
person's Stop only while every unanswered send is one it stopped. Claude's translator, which asks
before its echo row lands, passes the send its echo acknowledged.

* fix(native-chat): a host stop whose sink drain runs long reads the agent working; a failed one reads the journal

A drain past its bound may still hold the turn's row, while the echo's acceptance has already
landed, so the journal as it stands read nothing running: a person's close of that turn wrote no
Stop event and the turn read as news. The two drain outcomes now differ: one that failed has
nothing more to deliver, so the journal's read holds (as before); one still running reads working.

* test(native-chat): a host stop with no turn running defers only while every unanswered send is the Stop's

The branch had no test. An eviction with only the stopped send unanswered writes nothing; one
with a send made after the Stop still unanswered writes its event.

* fix(native-chat): a slow sink drain reads working only while an accepted send's turn row is due

The previous commit read every drain past its bound as working, so a host eviction or stop of an
agent at rest during a sink backlog wrote a Stop event that ended nothing and lifted a person's
Stop pause. A slow drain now reads working only when the latest send the agent accepted has opened
no turn the journal holds, the race it was for; otherwise the journal's read holds.

* test(native-chat): the host-stop control keeps the stopped send unanswered beside the later one

With both unanswered, the host writes only because not every unanswered send is the Stop's; a rule
that deferred when any one was would pass the old control.

* fix(native-chat): a steer is no send owed a turn when a slow drain judges a host stop

A slow drain reads working when the latest accepted send has opened no turn yet. A Codex steer or
a Claude fold is accepted into the running turn and never opens one, so a chat at rest whose last
send was a steer still read working, and an eviction lifted a person's Stop pause. Sends delivered
into a running turn, whose item carries that turn's scope, are skipped.

* test(native-chat): type the Stop test envelope's fields narrowly

* test(native-chat): the retry of a close whose exit was unproven writes no second Stop event

The idle sweep finishes a stop left owed with that stop's own cause. It is the same stop, so its
event stands alone and the child's end keeps the cause, for a person's close and an eviction.

Jinwoo HongandClaude Opus 5.5 eefc49f7e3 feat(terminal): warn when a typed Codex joins Codex's shared server (STA-9051) (#24217)
* feat(terminal): warn when a typed Codex joins Codex's shared server

Orca adds --no-daemon to the Codex it launches and to a codex typed in
shells whose wrapper it controls, but a codex typed another way (fish,
cmd.exe, a path-named binary) still joins Codex's shared server, which
mixes up agent status across tabs.

When a local pane's Codex is on that server, show a banner at the top of
the pane with the command that turns auto-start off, a Copy button,
"Don't show again" (a new setting next to the Codex server setting) and
a per-pane dismiss. The banner takes layout space; the terminal refits
below it.

Main answers pty:isCodexOnSharedServer from the pane's outermost Codex
command line (flags and subcommands that keep Codex embedded rule it
out), the CODEX_HOME the pane launched with, and whether that home's
server is live: a socket connect on macOS/Linux, the server's pid record
plus creation time on Windows. The renderer asks only while the pane
already shows Codex, on a short bounded ladder.

- Step 1 now writes daemon_auto_start = false to the user's own Codex home
  when the pane runs on Orca's shared mirror home (as Windows panes do), then
  to the mirror home too; the mirror is rebuilt from the user's home on every
  launch, so a mirror-only write was lost.
- The server probe is three-state (live / absent / unknown); stop reports
  success only once the server is proven gone.
- The banner retires the one-time "runs Codex without its shared server"
  toast it contradicts.
- A command line with no Codex program never counts as joining the server.
- The fallback local PTY provider reports each pane's root pid.

* fix(codex): keep Turn off in Orca's Codex home when ~/.codex has no config

A pane on Orca's mirror home wrote the setting to ~/.codex first. With no
~/.codex the spawn failed on its cwd and Codex rejects a missing CODEX_HOME;
and creating a config holding only this setting would make the next mirror
replace every setting made in Orca's Codex. The mirror skips a missing or
blank ~/.codex/config.toml, so write only the mirror home then.

* feat(codex): promote [features].daemon_auto_start from Orca's Codex home

Promotion now carries one [features] key alongside the [tui] keys, so a
shared-server Turn off written in Orca's mirror home reaches
~/.codex/config.toml instead of being reverted by the next mirror. Table
keys share one <table>.<key> scan for read, removal and upsert. Orca's own
daemon socket override is never read as a user value, and a blank source
config is seeded from the runtime like a missing one.

* refactor(codex): run Turn off once, in the pane's own Codex home

Settings promotion now carries the setting to ~/.codex, so the separate
settings-home resolution and the two-home loop are gone.

* fix(terminal): offer Stop server only after sharing is turned off

Stopping while sharing is still on closes every sharing session, and the
next Codex starts a new shared server.

* fix(terminal): skip legacy mirror panes off Windows and quoted dotted keys

A retained shared-home pane on macOS/Linux points at a mirror that is no
longer promoted, so Turn off there would be reverted; name no home for it.
A quoted top-level key such as "tui.theme" is one key, not [tui].theme.

* fix(terminal): drop the Turn off note that promised the setting reaches Codex outside Orca

Orca's tabs are what this fix is for; carrying the setting to ~/.codex is best-effort.

* fix(terminal): keep the Turn off note that the setting also applies outside Orca

It holds for nearly everyone; the rare Windows upgrade gaps don't justify hiding it.

* fix(codex): promote Turn off to ~/.codex under an older Orca's baseline

A pane on Orca's Windows mirror home writes daemon_auto_start = false into
the mirror. A promotion baseline from an Orca that predates this key has no
entry for it, so the next mirror pass kept the write as a conflict and then
recorded it, and ~/.codex never got the setting.

Turn off on a mirror-home pane now runs the same mirror pass a terminal
launch runs before and after the write: the first records the key in the
baseline, the second promotes the write to ~/.codex. The passes are
synchronous, so they cannot interleave with a launch's pass. A failed pass is
logged and does not fail Turn off, since the write still fixes Orca's tabs.
Real-home panes are unchanged.

Jinwoo Hong 477e699922 fix(codex): install Codex's Interrupt hook so an Esc-cancelled turn settles (#24332)
* fix(codex): install Codex's Interrupt hook so an Esc-cancelled turn settles

Codex 0.150+ fires an Interrupt hook when the user presses Esc on an
approval prompt or mid-tool, and nothing else. Orca did not install it, so
the pane stayed blocked/working until the next prompt.

- Add Interrupt to the managed Codex events and label maps, written with
  Codex's 3s cap (a larger value triggers a startup clamp warning).
- Hash the timeout Codex hashes (Interrupt is clamped to [1,3], default 1)
  so self-computed trust matches Codex; pinned against a real 0.159.3 hash.
- Map a root Interrupt to the existing cancelled-turn record
  (markCodexLeadTurnInterrupted), keeping child work in the fold; a
  child-scoped Interrupt is ignored. Relayed rows take the same path.

* refactor(codex): let the hook builder own Codex's per-event timeout

The managed hook's timeout is now Codex's own normalization of the shared
budget, and every installer derives its trust entry from the hook it wrote,
so no installer repeats the Interrupt special case.

Claude-Session: codex-interrupt-hook review

* refactor(codex): route Interrupt through the Stop lead update with an outcome

Interrupt now writes the lead record through the same setCodexMainAgentTurnState
call as Stop, so markCodexLeadTurnInterrupted keeps its original signature.
Drops the child-scoped Interrupt guard: Codex never runs Interrupt hooks for
subagents and its input schema has no agent_id.

Claude-Session: codex-interrupt-hook review

* fix(codex): ignore an Interrupt from an earlier turn once the next turn has started

A replayed or late Interrupt carries the old turn's turn_id; matching it against the turn_id from the
running turn's UserPromptSubmit keeps it from cancelling the new turn. Missing ids still cancel.

* revert(codex): drop the Interrupt turn-id guard; delivery is already ordered

Hook events reach Orca in order: Codex waits for the Interrupt hook before the next turn, and the restart spool is one append-only file per pane, replayed in order before live events. The guard protected an unreachable case and could drop a real cancel if the ids ever differed.

Brennan Benson beccdec74c fix(native-chat): a Codex Stop that Codex refuses or never answers ends the Codex process (#24334)
* fix(codex): a Stop whose interrupt Codex refused or never answered ends the session

A Codex Stop is the interrupt alone, so its background terminals keep running. When Codex refused
the interrupt, or never answered it, the turn kept running and the chat said "Codex didn't stop"
or "Cancellation was not confirmed." with no way to stop it short of closing the chat.

Now, after an interrupt that failed, the Stop re-reads the conversation once Codex's frames already
received have landed, and ends the child through the host's usual stop (proof of exit, then the
lease release) when it still runs what the Stop was sent for. It skips a conversation at rest, a
child whose exit already ended its turn, and one Codex has moved on to a different turn. The turn
then reads as the user's cancellation. If the child's exit is not proven, the failure is reported
and the Stop keeps its "didn't stop" or "not confirmed" row, which is still true.

A Stop Codex took keeps the child, unchanged.

* fix(codex): end the child only for an interrupt whose effect is unknown, on the turn the Stop meant

- Codex's invalid-request refusal (-32600: no active turn, another turn active, thread not
  loaded) states the named turn is not running, and can arrive before that turn's end frame.
  The Codex adapter now marks it `turnNotRunning`, and such a refusal never ends the child.
  Only an internal-error refusal (-32603), an unanswered interrupt, or a thrown cancel does.
- A Stop that named a turn, or an unnamed Stop that read one, ends the child only when the
  journal, after draining received frames, still shows that same turn. A session working on
  a follow-up whose turn has not opened is no longer ended by a Stop of the finished turn.
- When the child's exit was proven and only a later cleanup step failed, the Stop reads as
  requested; the failure is still reported.
- `AgentSessionCancelOutcome` moves beside the adapter's other Stop members (re-exported), which
  keeps the adapter file within its line budget.

* test(codex): pin that a failed interrupt decides on the drained journal

The frames Codex sent before the interrupt failed are held in the sink, so a read that skips the drain sees the stopped turn still running.

* test(codex): a refusal naming a turn Codex is not running carries turnNotRunning

* test(native-chat): fail the route release synchronously, as the adapter's acknowledgement is

* docs(codex): a -32600 Codex could not parse also reads as not running and keeps the child

* fix(native-chat): a named Stop whose child end is unproven says Codex didn't stop, not that the turn finished

The new branch has just read the turn running, so the named Stop's 'already finished' row was false.

Brennan Benson c6cfcc034e refactor(native-chat): structured chat failures always reach the diagnostics log (#24312)
* refactor(native-chat): give the structured chat host one required logger

The structured chat runtime took an optional onError callback that the
desktop never passed, so a late dispatch settlement, an unanswered-dispatch
release, a journal event-sink write and a provider lifecycle delivery that
failed were dropped with no trace. Other host failures went to scattered
console.warn calls, which reach nothing in a packaged desktop build.

The runtime and host now take one required logger (warn/error with a scope
and fields). The production logger writes each entry as a failed span to
<userData>/logs/main.trace.ndjson, which the diagnostic bundle collects, and
to the console (stderr under a supervised headless host). The runtime and the
host wrap it so a logger that throws never fails what it reports, and the
install refuses without one. Sites that deliberately kept a recovery-capsule
error out of the log still log no error object.

* refactor(native-chat): hand the chat host's collaborators the logger, and give orcad its trace file

The delivery loop, idle sweep, queued-message drain, lease renewer, event
sink, conversation map and provider start/exit settlement each took an
internal error callback that the host mapped onto the logger. They now take
the logger itself and log under their own scope. The event sink keeps one
onFailed hook, which decides whether to stop the provider, not whether to
report. The dead-generation settlement returns its failure so each caller
logs it under its own scope.

orcad now installs the desktop's local trace sink under its own data root, so
a headless host's chat failures reach <data-root>/logs/main.trace.ndjson as
well as stderr.

Also passes the logger in the test fixtures the first commit missed, which
tc:node caught.

* fix(native-chat): keep repeated chat failures from flooding the trace file, and record their causes

- The production structured-chat logger writes a repeated failure (same level, scope, session,
  message and error text) once per 5 minutes, carrying how many repeats it swallowed; the
  tracked set is capped at 256.
- Trace entries now carry the error's code (and SQLite errcode) and up to three causes by name and
  message.
- A chat read whose conversation will not open is logged through the host's logger
  (open-for-read), and so are the runtime's chat-tab bookkeeping failures that already hold the
  host.
- orcad writes its own orcad.trace.ndjson, closes it after every quit handler, and flushes it on
  process exit; a trace file that cannot be opened leaves tracing off instead of stopping the app
  or orcad.
- Tests: the desktop wiring test proves the logger reaches the trace sink, and the privacy tests
  read every level the logger received.

* fix(native-chat): log a created chat's tab-publication and launch-prompt failures through the host's logger

* fix(native-chat): key a repeated chat failure on everything its entry writes

The repeat suppression keyed on the message and the error's text, so two refusals with the same
code but different causes, a plain error and a refusal of one code, or two object-valued errors
shared a key and the second was swallowed for five minutes. The key is now the entry's whole
written content (fields, code, errcode, refusal reason, cause chain, a stable rendering of a
non-error value) plus the error's name and message; a refusal's reason is also written.

* test(native-chat): pin that an error's name keeps two repeated failures apart

* test(native-chat): build the refusal in the repeat-key test as the wire does

* fix(native-chat): read an error's code and a refusal's reason by narrowing, not Reflect.get

Brennan Benson a8a434db98 fix(native-chat): a resting chat lists its model the way the running agent does, so no stray effort picker appears (#24267)
* fix(native-chat): a resting chat lists its current model as a live child does, with no phantom effort

A chat at rest (no live child) answered its options from the host's model
catalog alone. When the chat's model is one the catalog does not list, the
answer left it out, the client filled the gap from its static seed, and the
composer showed an effort control ("Medium") that the live child never offers;
the control vanished again once the child was back.

The live Claude and Codex answers and the resting answer now build their model
list through one function: the catalog's rows, plus the current model when the
catalog does not list it, with no effort levels. Live and rest can no longer
disagree about it.

* fix(native-chat): a resting chat with no catalog yet lists what a live child would, so a listed model keeps its effort

When the host has no model catalog for the account yet (the first read before
its probe returns, a failing probe, an account-home lookup that failed, or a
WSL-pinned chat no live child has written one for), the resting answer listed
only the saved model, as unlisted, and a listed model such as opus lost its
effort control. It now rests on the list a running child falls back to:
Claude's built-in models, then the shared function. Codex lists nothing
without its catalog, so the resting answer leaves the list to the client's own
defaults, as a failed live read does.

* fix(native-chat): a resting chat with no pick and no catalog names no model, as before

With no catalog, the built-in list's default model is a guess, not the
account's: naming it moved a chat the running agent reported on Opus to
Sonnet. Only a real listing names the default now; otherwise the answer names
none and the client keeps the model the agent last reported. The comment on
Codex's no-catalog answer now says what it does: the client fills the current
model from its own defaults, unchanged from before.

Brennan Benson be575800c2 fix(codex): steer a mid-turn send into the running turn by name (#21062)
* fix(native-chat): settle in-flight sends when their turn ends

A send the provider admits gets no dispatch row, by design: the provider's
later acknowledgement is what settles it. If the turn carrying that send ends
first, the acknowledgement can never arrive and the submission stays pending
for the life of the session, so the chat reports work forever with no running
turn. It also blocks /clear and /compact and holds the session open.

Turn settlement now settles the sends that were in flight inside it. One
routine owns the behaviour and both journal write paths use it, because the
turn record reaches its terminal state through a plain item append on one
provider and through a lifecycle batch on the other.

Ownership is derived from journal order rather than stored: the pending set is
captured inside the serialized row build, so exactly the sends preceding the
terminal row are settled and later ones are untouched. Settlement records
doubt rather than a rejection, since an unacknowledged send is never proof of
non-delivery. A failed settlement is reported and never blocks the turn from
settling or the next send.

No schema or wire change: settlement writes ordinary dispatch rows that every
client already decodes.

* fix(native-chat): retire settled dispatch ownership

* fix(native-chat): correlate terminal dispatch ownership

* fix(native-chat): make dispatch ownership provider-authoritative

* fix(native-chat): complete durable late settlement recovery

* Resolve mainline conflicts in settlement plumbing

* fix(codex): steer a mid-turn send into the running turn by name

A message sent while a Codex turn runs, a queued card's Send-now included,
went out as turn/start. Codex 0.148 and later steer that into the running
turn and answer with its id, so the turn's end settles the send. Before
0.148, turn/start answers with its own submission id, which never opens or
ends as a turn: the send was bound to a turn that never exists, and a Stop
left it pending, so the chat read as working and /clear stayed blocked
until the app exited.

The send now goes in as turn/steer with expectedTurnId set to the turn
Codex last reported started, and is bound to the turn the answer names.
A steer Codex refuses took no input (the turn ended or changed, it cannot
be steered, or this Codex has no turn/steer), so the send falls back to
turn/start. A steer that times out is never re-sent and stays armed for
its echo. Per-turn options ride on the next turn/start.

* fix(codex): steer a send made before Codex opens the previous send's turn

On a Codex before 0.148, a second send made after Codex answered the first
but before it reported that turn started went out as turn/start. Codex folded
it into the first turn but answered with an id that never opens or ends, so a
Stop left it pending: the chat kept reading Working.

A send now resolves its target the way Stop already does: the running turn,
or else the turn Codex answered an earlier send into, once it opens (same
bounded wait). The resolver moves into the turn-open-wait module and Stop and
send share it. When Codex refuses a steer and a different turn is now
running, the send steers that turn once before falling back to turn/start.

The lifecycle fake's legacy mode now mints a false id for a start made while
a turn is picked but unopened, and refuses a steer until that turn starts.

* fix(codex): wait at most once for an answered turn Codex never opens

A Codex before 0.148 can answer a send with a turn it then fails before
starting, reporting only an `error` and no turn end. That turn stayed the
answered-but-unopened turn for the rest of the session, so every later send
made while the chat was idle, and every Stop naming no turn, waited the full
open-wait first. When a wait ends without the turn opening, the dispatch
correlation now records it, and later lookups skip it. A turn that opens
later is still found through turn/started.

The runtime test for a send made before the first turn opens now waits on
a signal that the send is inside the open-wait instead of a fixed sleep, and
pins that the send was steered.

* test(codex): prove a legacy mid-turn send settles on Stop, and stop faking a steer

Adds the user-visible outcome on a Codex before 0.148: a send made while a
turn runs is withdrawn when a Stop ends that turn, the chat no longer owes
work, and /compact is admitted after.

The shared fake Codex servers no longer answer an unrouted turn/steer as a
success; they refuse it as a Codex without that method would. Adds the case
where Codex refuses both the steer and the fallback start, so the send is
rejected in Codex's words and disarmed.

* test(codex): type the fake Codex connection and wait recorder instead of casting

Brennan Benson 0b79720c2e feat(native-chat): the chat strip and the sidebar read the host's child records (#22614)
* feat(native-chat): publish the host's child records to the status summary and the chat strip

The status summary and the background-task channel now read a session's child
records from the host's canonical store, through the status sink its row
landed in, and derive the legacy task and subagent shapes from the same views.
The parent row folds its child-work liveness from those records at ingest,
not from the summary's task list. The adapters no longer push their task DTO
to clients: the onBackgroundTasksChanged path is gone, and a child-work ingest
is what republishes both the summary and the strip. Finished children stay
listed until the session's own next turn starts. A reader that predates child
views never receives a roster whose rows are all settled.

* feat(native-chat): the chat strip reads the host's child records with its parent's verdict

The strip's roster now renders from the child views its channel carries, and
passes the verdict the session's own status row gives its children, built the
way the sidebar builds it (the row's freshness and the status feed's
observation). So one child reads the same in the strip and the sidebar, live,
after the transport drops, and once the row goes stale. A roster of finished
children stays shown until the next turn but no longer animates the monitoring
indicator or blocks conversation commands.

Tests: an end-to-end run on a host with no renderer (a real hook server as the
status sink) shows the summary and the strip channel carrying the same records
at every step, the parent row folded from them, retention, and an older
client's task list holding live work only; a wired renderer test shows both
surfaces agree when live, lost and stale.

* test(native-chat): a newer host's view degrades, an older reader keeps its live roster, a finished roster holds nothing open

- The view decoder ignores unknown keys, degrades unknown kinds, states,
  outcomes and memberships, and drops only rows it cannot identify.
- At the RPC boundary a reader that predates child views gets no strip for a
  roster of finished children and never the views themselves; a stop-only
  reader keeps rows whose host offers no targeted stop.
- The strip shows finished children without reading them as live work.
- The row keeps its child list's identity when a summary repeats it.

* refactor(native-chat): the summary's task list is the legacy projection's live rows, unfiltered

* test(native-chat): type the switch tests' mocks instead of asserting them

* test: remote clients advertise reading child views

* docs(agent-status): the structured row folds the store's child records

* fix(agent-status): keep the view reader's header from reading as a value import to the renderer boundary

The renderer node-builtin boundary test scans raw text, so a header comment
that said "imports" ahead of the import block turned the type-only import of
agent-status-child-work into a value edge that reaches node:crypto.

* refactor(native-chat): the status summary's broadcast equality gets its own module

The status feed crossed the file-size limit once the summary gained the main agent's turn
outcome beside the child views. Which summary changes reach every session list now lives in
structured-agent-session-status-summary-equality.ts.

* fix(native-chat): command admission reads the strip's child records

A conversation command was refused on the provider tracker's own roster
while the strip read the host's child records, so a drift between the two
rule sets could refuse /clear with a stop instruction the strip had no
button for. Admission now reads the same records through the same read as
the strip, uses the strip's liveness fold, and asks for a stop only when
the strip renders one. The adapter contract no longer exposes the tracker
roster, so no host decision can read it.

Also records when the legacy child shapes die, every earlier death of a
settled child, and the display-precision invariant behind the summary's
clock tolerance.

* refactor(native-chat): command admission takes only what it reads of a turn

* fix(native-chat): the session list drops a session's children when the store does

A session's end no longer removes its child records: a child still running
settles with an outcome nobody reported, and a finished one stays listed.
Records now leave only at the session's own next turn, at the cap on settled
records, or when the host lets go of the session and its row leaves the store.

The summary kept after the host lets go used to strip its children on close,
a rule of its own. It now re-reads them from the store when the row leaves,
through the same read every live summary uses, so the session list and the
chat strip list the same children at each step, including a forget with no
close. Closing only revokes ownership, as before the child records existed.

* test(native-chat): write the Codex frame script's parent row out step by step

Once every surface reads the child records, the provider tracker's roster is
no oracle: it and the records read the same child executions, so agreeing
with it cannot catch a defect in either. Each frame now states the child
liveness and the parent row it must fold to.

* fix(native-chat): the idle sweep and the restart snapshot read the host's child records

The idle sweep (keep an agent running while its subagents or commands run) and
the restart-resume snapshot (what a chat was doing when Orca stopped it) both
read the provider tracker's roster through the adapter interface, which no
longer carries it. Both now take the host's one child-record read, the same one
the status summary, the chat strip and command admission use.

The snapshot's working test also folded that roster through the shared fold's
old `backgroundTasks` input, which the fold no longer reads, so a settled lead
whose subagent was still running would have been offered nothing. It now hands
the fold the records.

* test(native-chat): the child-record tests follow the merged command lifecycle

A command is a live child record from its start and is removed, not settled,
when it stops, whatever Codex tagged it. The end-to-end switch now shows the
child's `npm test` as a live row beside its dev server, and both are gone once
they exit; only the finished subagent stays listed until the next turn. Letting
go of the session is its tab closing, since a closed conversation whose tab
remains keeps its row.

Command admission's finished row is a subagent, the one kind that settles, and
the failed-verdict row test admits its live subagent as a host record, the only
thing the row folds.

* refactor(native-chat): the status feed's journal projection cache gets its own module

The status feed crossed the file-size limit once the child records joined the
agent-start signal and the completion feed's status read. The per-journal
projection, cached per commit, now lives in
structured-agent-session-status-journal-projection.ts.

* test(native-chat): the admission test's compaction resolves with a real outcome

Main's compaction result is a tagged outcome; the host-level admission test
resolved its mock compaction with an empty object.

* feat(native-chat): the sidebar lists running subagents; the strip, running then the newest finished

The host keeps every child record; what each surface lists is picked from them on every read, so
nothing is stored twice. The status summary, which every session list reads, now carries only
running children (and a finished one whose shell still runs, which reads monitoring): a finished
or failed subagent leaves the sidebar and stays in the chat's strip. The strip lists every running
child, then the newest finished ones, 100 rows in all; more than 100 running all show.

This matches common practice: sidebars show live subagents, and finished ones stay in the chat's
panel, newest first. No wire field is added. An older client reads fewer rows: its legacy task
lists were already live-only in the summary, and the strip's settled tasks come from the same
bounded roster.

* fix(sidebar): one rule for what the worktree sidebar lists: running children, from every source

`worktreeSidebarListsChild` is the one definition: a child that runs, counting a finished one
whose own shell still runs (it reads monitoring). The sidebar's row builder applies it to every
child source it reads, a terminal agent's hook roster and a chat session's records alike, and the
host's status summary applies the same predicate, so the sidebar's payload stays small. The chat's
strip keeps finished children, newest first.

A terminal agent's hook roster already drops a child on its own stop, so nothing changes there:
a teammate between turns and a child gone quiet still run, and still show. The selection module
moves to `agent-child-work-listing.ts`, since it now covers every source, not only chat sessions.

* test(native-chat): the switch test passes the startup child key main's status bar takes

* fix(native-chat): a finished child stays until the user's next send, not a turn Claude opens on its own

Claude wakes the agent on its own when a background task ends, and that wake is a
new root turn. Keying retention on the newest root turn retired every finished
child about two seconds after a background agent or shell finished, so its
outcome never showed in the strip.

Retention now keys on the user's newest send the provider accepted (a message, a
steer or a command), with the journal epoch so a rewind still retires. A turn the
provider opens itself and a subagent's turn carry no send. Replayed captured wake
orders through the real adapter, hook server and status feed.

* fix(native-chat): a background Stop reaches the tasks the child records show

The strip draws a row's Stop, and /clear, /compact and rewind wait for background
work, from the host's child records, but the Claude adapter still resolved which
tasks a Stop reached from its own tracker's roster, and refused to stop at all
once that roster was empty. A task the records kept live after the roster dropped
it showed a Stop that sent nothing and blocked those commands until the chat tab
closed.

The host now resolves the provider ids a Stop sends from the records (the same
per-row rule the strip and admission use; every such row for stop-all), and the
adapter stops exactly those, with no tracker guard. An acknowledged stop ends the
record: a running task sends its own stopped frame first, and the CLI answers
success with no frame for a task it no longer knows. A refused stop leaves the
record live. No production code reads the tracker's roster any more.

* fix(native-chat): one rule for a finished child that still owns live work, at any depth

The listing kept a finished child whose work ran through any depth of ownership,
but retention at the user's next turn protected only the direct owner, so a
finished agent whose finished subagent still ran a shell was removed and that
subagent jumped to the top level. Both now read settledOwnersOfLiveWork.

* fix(native-chat): an older client sees a Codex child's shell as it did before views

Clients that predate child views read a flat task roster derived from the views.
It listed a Codex child agent's shell as an extra row beside the running agent,
then as a bare command once the agent finished. The derivation now hides a
running agent's commands and names a finished agent's as "<agent> — <command>",
as the Codex tracker did; the label rule moves to a shared module both use.

* fix(native-chat): the chat decodes a roster's child rows once, as the frame arrives

The client reducer compared raw wire rows, so a row shaped by a newer host could
throw there, and the strip decoded a new array on every render, which defeated its
grouped-rows memo while a turn streamed. Rows are now decoded where the frame
enters the reducer, an unchanged roster keeps its identity, and the strip's parent
context is rebuilt only when one of its values changes.

* fix(native-chat): the strip channel forgets a closed conversation's roster

It kept the last roster fingerprint of every conversation for the host's lifetime.
The conversation map now tells observers when one leaves it. Also corrects the
summary's children comment: it carries running children only.

* docs(native-chat): rewrap the retention comment

* fix(native-chat): a task's own ending replaces a Stop's, and a child finished after the user wrote stays

Two lifecycle gaps from the round-1 fixes.

A Stop acknowledged ahead of the task's own ending relabelled it. The SDK hands
Orca a control answer as soon as it reads it and queues other frames, so when a
task finished just as the user pressed Stop, the acknowledgement arrived before
the task's completion the CLI wrote first, and the task read "Stopped" with its
result lost. An acknowledged Stop now ends a record provisionally (outcome basis
`stop-acknowledged`); the task's own terminal frame replaces it, and nothing
replaces an ending the task reported itself.

A finished child still vanished with no new action from the user when the send
the provider took was written before the child finished: a steer Claude takes at
its next boundary, or a queued draft handed over at the end of the turn. The
user's next turn now carries when they acted (the send's written time, or the
draft's queued time, both on the host clock), and only children that finished at
or before it retire; a later one stays until the user's next send. A rewind
still retires every finished child.

Also: a Stop-all keeps stopping the remaining tasks after one request fails, then
reports the failure.

* fix(native-chat): the strip keeps one empty list for a roster that omits one

A roster with only running or only finished rows made a new empty array on every
render, so the strip regrouped its rows each time. One shared empty list keeps
its memo.

* fix(native-chat): a strip row whose owner the 100-row budget cut renders under the main agent

The budget can keep a finished child and cut its finished owner. The child still
named that owner, so it rendered nowhere. The selection now clears an owner it
did not keep, as the view contract says for an owner outside the projection.

* fix(native-chat): a stop-all that times out stops asking, and "no children" is sent once

A stop-all kept asking after a request timed out, so a Claude CLI that stopped
answering control requests cost one full deadline per task, while the chat's
sends, Stop and /compact waited behind it. A timeout now ends the loop; other
request failures still let the remaining tasks be stopped.

The chat strip channel never remembered that it had sent "no children", so
every change in a chat with none re-sent that frame to each subscriber. It now
remembers it, and forgets only when the conversation closes.

Also renames agent-child-work-stop.ts to agent-child-work-stop-targets.ts, which
says what it answers: the provider ids a background Stop reaches.

* fix(native-chat): the status feed reads a journal snapshot with no submissions, and e2e tests use the child-work reader

CI on dbd2439cd4 was red in three places:
- first-work-branch-rename and the agentSession.subscribeStatus RPC test feed the status feed a
  journal whose snapshot lists items only. The projection reads the user's newest accepted send
  from `snapshot.submissions`; it now tolerates their absence, as the status projection beside
  it already did.
- the cross-version downgrade test still passed `backgroundTasks` to the teardown's working
  marker, which now takes `childWork`.
- an e2e unit test still gave the status feed the removed `readBackgroundTasks` dependency
  (harmless at run time, a type error in the tests/ project).

* fix(native-chat): the chat strip lists running children only, by the sidebar's rule, and hides when none runs

A finished subagent's result is already in the transcript ("Ran N subagents ·
completed"), so the strip is for work that runs. It now lists exactly what the
sidebar lists, by one predicate (a running child, or a finished one whose own
shell still runs, which reads monitoring), and the host sends no roster once none
runs, so the strip hides.

Gone with it: the 100-row budget and the running-then-newest-finished
selection, the re-homing of a child whose owner the budget cut, and the RPC
gate's rule for a roster of finished rows only (no such roster exists now).
Older clients still get their derived task list, running work only.

Finished records still stay in the host's store until the user's next accepted
message: they refuse a late frame of their run, let a task's own ending replace
an acknowledged Stop's, and keep a running shell's owner. Dating that retention
by when the user wrote the message only kept finished rows visible longer, so it
is removed.

* fix(native-chat): the strip shows running work only from any host, and hides after a released session's last child

- A new app paired with an older host no longer shows that host's finished task
  rows: the strip lists running work only, whatever host sent it, and hides when
  an older host's roster has only finished rows left.
- A test for the path that hides the strip when a session's last running child
  settles after the provider let go of the session (Claude's release path): the
  channel sends `null` though no provider answers for the session any more.
- A test comment still described the strip keeping finished children.

Brennan Benson 3ab3c9239f fix(native-chat): the working line shows only what the agent is doing now (#24218)
* fix(native-chat): the working line shows only what the agent is doing now

A chat's live "Working…" line could show an old notice, such as "Claude hit a
temporary problem and is retrying.", long after the agent had moved on and was
running new commands. When the host had no live activity for the turn, the line
fell back to the newest status row in the turn, and any status row qualified:
retry warnings, "Context compacted", "Cancellation requested.", and notification
summaries. Those rows record the past and already appear in the transcript.

The line now reads only the host's live, per-turn activity, which is never saved
and is cleared at turn boundaries. Without it, the line says Thinking or
Working…. Desktop and mobile share the selector, so both change.

* test(codex): guard that a subagent's compaction never becomes the parent's live activity

Brennan Benson b4b708c2c4 fix(native-chat): a Codex stream retry is one warning row that updates in place (#23684)
* fix(native-chat): a provider's own retry progress is quoted in its retry row

A retry row whose fact carries a detail the provider wrote for a person now
quotes it, the same way a rejected message or failed compaction does, so the
row says how the retry is going. A log detail still stays out of the sentence.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex stream retry is one warning row that updates in place

An error Codex says it will retry used to fall through to the generic frame
row: red, and a new row for every attempt. It now writes one providerRetrying
row per retry run, warning-toned, revised by each attempt with Codex's own
progress sentence. A run is the retry frames of one turn with nothing else the
thread journals between them; every attempt still publishes, so the idle sweep
keeps seeing activity. Errors Codex will not retry are unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex retry row says it is retrying and keeps the frame behind Details

The quoted retry sentence leads with "is retrying", which holds for any
provider's progress text. The Codex retry row also keeps the whole bounded
frame behind the row's Details, as the generic row did, so Codex's
additionalDetails stays available to diagnose a retry.

* test(native-chat): a Codex retry re-handled after backpressure keeps its one row

Pins the run being opened before the write: a first attempt whose publish is
refused and is handed back must revise the row it already wrote, not open a
second run. Also stops the fixture claiming Codex sends an idle thread status
beside each retry, which the app server does not do.

* perf(native-chat): a Codex frame with no retry run open is not classified

Ending a retry run classified every non-retry frame, and classifying walks the
whole payload: every streaming delta, and every large item/completed, paid a
walk about as costly as parsing the frame. Only a thread with a run open needs
the answer, so the classification now runs only there.

* fix(native-chat): each Codex retry attempt is its own warning row, with what failed on its second line

A stream error Codex says it will retry is written as its own warning row
with a providerRetrying fact, under the same per-frame identity every
Codex frame row gets. The host no longer tracks retry runs or rewrites
one row in place, so there is no run state to open, end or clear, and no
frame has to be classified to end a run. Every attempt publishes, which
keeps renewing the idle clock while Codex retries.

Codex's additionalDetails, which its own UI shows under the progress
message, is kept on the fact as the retry's cause and printed on the
row's second line. Errors Codex will not retry are unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): a transcript draws only the latest row of a provider retry run

The shared structured message projection, which both the desktop and the
mobile transcript read, collapses a run of retry rows into its latest
row. A run is retry rows from the same agent with no other drawn row
between them; a row that draws nothing, or a queued send drawn after the
conversation, does not split it. The earlier attempts stay in the
journal.

* test(native-chat): the retry-run render test uses the message list's current props

* fix(native-chat): a Codex frame row is named for its connection, so a later one never revises it

Frame rows were named provider-frame:codex:<n> from a counter that starts
over with every connection, so the first frame row after a reconnect in the
same session revised an earlier connection's row in place, at its old spot.
Each connection's frame rows now carry the acquisition generation, minted
once before the translator is built: provider-frame:codex:<generation>:<n>.
Rows already written keep their identities.

* fix(native-chat): agents retrying at once each keep one row, read from the row's own agent

* test(native-chat): a reconnect's Codex rows are named for the acquisition that received them

* fix(native-chat): a retry run is one agent's, so another agent's row never splits it

Each agent's rows are drawn apart: the session's own rows are the conversation,
and a subagent's rows open in that subagent's section. Splitting a run on any
other row in the flat list left two adjacent retry rows on screen whenever
another agent wrote between two attempts: a subagent finishing a command while
the session reconnected, or the session working while a subagent reconnected.

A run is now per agent: an agent's retry rows with none of its own other rows
between them, drawn as its latest.

* test(native-chat): a subagent's retry run is checked in its own section, and the run rule's words say same agent

* test(mobile): the retry-rows test typechecks, so the test ratchet keeps checking it

Brennan BensonandClaude 24edf0f64b fix(agent-status): a turn a crash cut off reads Interrupted, an unproven end Couldn't confirm (#23467)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(agent-status): a turn a crash cut off reads Interrupted, an unproven end Couldn't confirm

When the provider gave no verdict, the structured status projection now derives
one from the newest turn's lifecycle: interrupted -> interruption, unverifiable ->
unconfirmed. Nothing new is journaled, the completion feed stays provider-only, and
the legacy interrupted flag stays a user stop only. Every verdict reader handles
both arms explicitly.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a folded turn a crash cut off reads Interrupted after N

The settled-turn timing now carries the turn's verdict, derived by the same
agentTurnVerdict the status row uses. A turn that ended interrupted with no
provider verdict heads its fold 'Interrupted after N'; a user's stop keeps
'Worked for N'.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): the user's close of a chat records the turn it cuts short as their cancellation

The expected-close settle writes outcome cancellation when the user aimed the
stop at this chat: a Stop while the agent starts, the chat's tab closed (the
agentSession.close RPC, or session.tabs.close with a user reason), or /clear.
A quit, an idle eviction, a worktree teardown or an orchestration stop leaves the
turn with no verdict, so it still reads Interrupted.

* test(native-chat): a Claude turn a newer send superseded reads Interrupted

The supersede fires for any send Orca dispatched, the user's or another agent's,
and nothing at that site records the sender, so the turn keeps no verdict and
folds as Interrupted after N.

* fix(native-chat): the user's close records cancellation on the turn the provider settled on its way out

The Codex and Claude adapters settle their open turn as interrupted, with no
verdict, while the host stops them. The expected-close settle then found no
running turn, so a user's close of a mid-turn chat read Interrupted. The stop
now reads the running turns before it reaches the provider and records the
user's cancellation on each one it cut short, unless the provider gave a
verdict of its own. The close-verdict test's adapter now settles its turn on
close the way the real adapters do.

* test(native-chat): update the close and settled-turn expectations for the host-observed verdict

agentSession.close now passes the user's word to the host, and a settled
interrupted turn with no provider verdict carries `interruption`. Also merge a
duplicate import the code-quality gate rejects.

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): the user's close cancels a turn whose start landed as the provider stopped

The close read which turns were running before the stop. A turn whose start was
still in flight (a send echo not yet journaled) was absent from that read, so the
provider's verdict-less settle on the way out left it Interrupted. The close now
reads which turns were already over instead, and records the user's cancellation
on every other turn the stop left running or interrupted with no verdict. A turn
cut off earlier, or finished during the stop, keeps its end.

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

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

* refactor(native-chat): the adapter settles the turn a stop cuts with the stop's typed cause

The host hands its stop's cause to the adapter's close. Each adapter settles its own
open turn on 'ended' through one mapping, turnVerdictForChildEnd, and the host's
dead-generation fallback uses the same mapping for any turn no adapter settled. A
user's close or stop of this chat is their cancellation; a quit, eviction, teardown
or an exit the adapter saw first is news.

Deletes the snapshot-and-diff reconstruction (endedTurnItemIds,
userStoppedTurnRevisions, settleUserStoppedTurns) and the requestedByUser flag.
host.close now takes a required cause.

* test(native-chat): a user's close drops the chat's status row like an eviction

* test(native-chat): expect the eviction cause on the host closes of idle release, worker stop and worker discard

The stop's typed cause now travels into host.close and the adapter's close, so these
three non-user closes assert the 'evict' they pass.

* refactor(native-chat): every stop names its cause, so none defaults to the user's cancellation

stopStructuredAgentSessionAgentUnderSerialize defaulted its ending to 'user-stop', which now
settles the cut turn as the user's cancellation. Every caller already passes a cause; the
parameter is now required, and a type-level test fails to compile if the default returns.

* test(native-chat): pin who a chat's session.tabs.close speaks for, older clients' reasonless close included

The mapping lived inline in a type-unchecked file, and only the explicit user reason had a test: an older client's reasonless close, or a lifecycle echo read as the user's, stayed green. It is now one exhaustive, type-checked function with a case per reason.

* style(mobile): draw the unconfirmed dot in the theme's status amber, not an inline hex

* docs(agent-status): the main agent's outcome also carries the host-observed end, interruption or unconfirmed

* fix(native-chat): a chat the user closed while its agent started is not a failed start

A still-starting child the user's close cut counted as a failed start, since only 'user-stop' was excluded: a start-failure row, and queued messages rejected as a provider failure. Whether an ending fails its start is now one exhaustive switch, shared by the failed-start read and the delivery loop's handover: a user's stop or close never does; an exit, a failed attach and the host's own stops still do.

* fix(native-chat): a chat the user closed closes its queued messages, and starts no agent for them

After 876b6989f1 a user's close of a still-starting chat went on like a Stop, so when the close did not complete the delivery loop started a new agent for the message queued behind it. A child's end now has three dispositions, not a failed-start boolean: a user's Stop lets the queue go on, the user's close closes what was queued before it, and any other end fails it. The close is the one a completed close does (the provider-closed rejection, no verdict), applied at the top of each delivery step and ordered against the close so a later send still goes on.

* fix(activity): a crash-cut turn draws the interrupted glyph; only a user's Stop keeps the done check

The Activity page drew every Interrupted row with the done check, which #2569 chose for a user's Stop. With a crash now reading Interrupted, that put a green check on a turn nobody asked to stop. The row's glyph is now an exhaustive switch over the verdict: a cancellation keeps the done check, and an interruption draws the existing interrupted dot. An unconfirmed end already drew its own glyph.

* fix(activity): the Interrupted group header draws the done check only when every row is a user's Stop

A user's Stop and a crash share the Interrupted group, and its header took its newest row's glyph, so a Stop newer than a crash put a green check over the crash. The header is now folded over the group's rows: the done check only when every row draws it, the interrupted dot otherwise.

* fix(native-chat): a failed close of what the user closed starts no agent for it

Rejecting the messages a user's close left queued swallowed a journal write failure, so the delivery step went on to start an agent for a message in a chat the user closed. The rejection now reports whether it landed, and a step whose rejection failed stops instead; the next wake re-derives and retries it. Also pins that the ordering against the close holds only within its epoch, since a later epoch's sequences restart.

* test(native-chat): the idle sweep's stop is an eviction, so its close carries that cause

Main's idle sweep now stops an idle agent through the conversation lifetime, which this branch gives the 'evict' cause; its expectations name it.

* fix(native-chat): a retried stop keeps the cause of the stop it finishes

A user's Stop or close whose wind-down failed after the child was proven gone was finished by the idle sweep as an eviction, so the turn it cut read Interrupted. The owed wind-down now carries its stop's cause, and a retry with no child settles with it.

* test(native-chat): the idle sweep's close of a retrying Claude chat carries the eviction cause

Main's new test expected the adapter close with the session id alone; every stop now names its cause, and the idle sweep's is 'evict'.

* fix(status): a user's Stop marks done on the tab and sidebar; red Interrupted is only a turn cut short by something else

The tab, the worktree card and the sidebar rows drew a Stop with the same red dot as a crash. The
verdict mark now maps a cancellation to done, still saying "Interrupted by user" in the row text,
and the mobile mirror follows. The Activity page keeps grouping a Stop under Interrupted with the
done check, as before.

* test(cross-version): a new phone reads a user's Stop as done; an old phone still draws it interrupted

* fix(native-chat): a user's Stop inside a live Claude chat reads as their cancellation

Stopping a running Claude turn interrupts it and keeps the session, so the turn's end comes from
the CLI's result frame. Claude CLIs before 2.1.91 send that frame with no terminal_reason, and later
ones may still omit it, so the user's own Stop was recorded as a failure with an error row.

Orca now records the stop on the open turn when it sends the interrupt. An error result for that
turn reads as the user's cancellation whatever reason the CLI gives. The stop belongs to that one
turn, so it cannot reach the next, and it is withdrawn when the CLI refuses the interrupt.

* docs(agent-status): a user's stop marks done; name the tab close cause by its type

The reference still said a stop marks a row interrupted and ranks between live work and an
unconfirmed end. A cancellation now marks done, and only a turn cut short by something else ranks
as interrupted. The runtime's tab close restated the close cause's union; it now uses the type.

* test(native-chat): a proven crash reads as an interruption on the status feed and in the chat

A crash the relaunch proves now settles its turn interrupted, and the status feed works the verdict
out from that record, so the restart test expects interruption for a proven crash and unconfirmed
for one it cannot prove, never a cancellation. A chat read before the proof lands reports
unconfirmed, then interruption and a folded "Interrupted after 27s" once the proof revises it.

* fix(status): a user's Stop reads Interrupted, and a turn anything else cut short reads Failed

The verdict mark now maps a cancellation, the user's own Stop, to interrupted, and an interruption,
a turn cut short by a crash or a killed agent, to failed, the same as a failure, which outranks live
subagent work. An unconfirmed end is unchanged. This applies to every agent, in a terminal or a chat,
on the tab, the sidebar rows and worktree card, the dashboard row, Cmd+J and the phone. A Stop is
not news, so the rollups rank it below an unconfirmed end, and notifications word an interruption
"failed". Recording is unchanged.

* fix(activity): group a user's Stop under Interrupted and a crash with failures

A user's Stop draws the interrupted glyph and sits alone in Interrupted, and a turn anything else cut
short sits in Failed, titled "Agent failed". Every row in a status group now draws the group's own
glyph, so the header is the group's status and the rule that folded a Stop's done check into the
header is gone. Interrupted ranks below an unconfirmed end, as in the sidebar.

* fix(status): draw a user's Stop in the muted tone, not the fault red

The interrupted dot, which now means only a user's Stop, draws in the muted foreground token on the
agent rows, the sidebar card and the phone. Red stays for a failure or a turn cut short by anything
else, and green for a finish.

* fix(native-chat): fold a stopped turn as "Interrupted after N" and a failed or crash-cut one as "Failed after N"

The settled turn header now follows the verdict mark: a user's Stop reads "Interrupted after N", and
a failure or a turn anything else cut short reads "Failed after N", under the new key
components.native-chat.status.failedAfter in all six catalogs and the boot catalog. Desktop and
phone share the one description, so they agree.

* docs(agent-status): describe the Interrupted and Failed marks

The reference and the phone's turn bar still described a user's stop as done and a crash as
interrupted. A fault now reads failed, a user's stop reads interrupted in the muted tone, and the
rollups rank an unconfirmed end above a stop.

* test(status): a crash the relaunch recovers marks failed

The recovery test still expected a recovered interruption to mark interrupted; it now marks failed,
as a failure does. Formatting only elsewhere.

* fix(native-chat): record a turn a newer request replaced as superseded, and show it Interrupted

A Claude turn that a newer send replaced before its result arrived was recorded as interrupted with
no verdict, which reads as a turn cut short by something else, now "Failed". It is now recorded with
its own outcome, `superseded`, where the replacement is detected. That outcome names no sender, so a
dispatch from another agent is never recorded as the user's Stop, and it sets no legacy flag.

Every reader handles it in an exhaustive switch: it draws the muted Interrupted mark with the plain
text "Interrupted", folds as "Interrupted after N", and attention demotes it with a Stop, through
the renamed agentTurnEndedOnRequest. Older builds read an arm they do not know as no verdict, which
is what this turn carried before, so their rows keep reading done; the cross-version suites pin an
older desktop's journal and status readers and an older phone.

* refactor(status): name the attention predicate for a turn ended on purpose

agentTurnEndedOnRequest becomes agentTurnEndedOnPurpose: a user's Stop or a newer request's
replacement, never a fault. The Claude turn-end comment no longer says a replaced turn carries no
verdict.

* test(native-chat): a turn cut off by a restart or by quitting Orca reads Failed after N

On main a restart-cut turn shows the done tick. Pin the chat's turn bar and
the tab's mark for both cuts, through the recovery settlement and the quit's
child-end mapping, and pin the quit's turn bar through the host's own quit.

* style(native-chat): format the superseded turn-bar expectations

* fix(claude): a Stop that names no turn is the user's stop of the open turn

The chat's Stop button names no turn. Claude's conversation Stop recorded the
user's stop only for a named turn, so an older CLI's error result after that
Stop read Failed. It now records it on the open turn through the same intent,
dropped when Claude refuses the interrupt and never carried to the next turn.

* fix(native-chat): keep the attach context's publishStatus required

The lifetime context type makes publishStatus optional, so the attach context
that spreads it no longer satisfied its own type once its duplicate
publishStatus went. The host's lifetime context is now inferred, and checked
with satisfies, so the spread carries the member it always sets.

* fix(activity): rank a user's Stop below live work in the status grouping

The Activity page's status grouping put the Interrupted group (a user's Stop, or a
turn a newer request replaced) above Working and Monitoring, so a Stop still sorted
like news there while the sidebar, worktree card and Cmd+J rank it below live work.
It now follows live work and stays above Done; Failed and Couldn't confirm keep
their places above live work.

* docs(agent-status): say which turn outcomes the journal records and which are derived

The journal now records superseded as well as the provider's verdict and a stop;
interruption and unconfirmed are derived on read. The resume row no longer claims
interrupted renders red.

* test(native-chat): the idle sweep's held-send rest closes with the evict cause, like its siblings

Brennan Benson cfa43e7eab fix(codex): opening a terminal no longer strips Codex hooks from the real ~/.codex (#23552)
* fix(codex): a real-home restore leaves a file alone once someone else changed it

Orca writes ~/.codex/hooks.json (and a trust rebase writes config.toml), then
runs a Codex trust session for up to 10 s, then restores the original bytes if
the session fails. The restore wrote unconditionally, so a save that landed
during the session, from the user or another Orca, was silently reverted.

Each restore now compares first: it writes the original back only while the
file still holds the generation Orca's mutation left, and otherwise logs and
leaves it alone. This covers the real-home install and opt-out sweep
(restoreRealHomeHooksJson), the legacy sweep's hooks restore, and config.toml
rollback (restoreCodexTrustConfig).

For hooks.json the generation is the exact bytes Orca wrote. For a config.toml
that a trust rebase changed it is the file as the rebase left it. When Codex
itself wrote config.toml inside the session that just failed, Orca never knew
those bytes, so that rollback compares against the file as the session settled.
The next commit keeps other Orca instances out of that window; a user edit made
during such a session can still be rolled back.

* fix(codex): serialize real-home Codex writes across Orca instances

Every Orca on one HOME (a dev and a packaged app, or an offline CLI) writes the
same ~/.codex/hooks.json, config.toml and ~/.orca/agent-hooks/codex-hook.sh.
The per-file lane that orders capture, mutate and restore was in-process only,
so another instance could write inside this one's restore window, or undo it.

The lane for the user's real config.toml now also holds the existing
crash-safe managed-hook install lock (~/.orca/managed-hook-install.lock, the
one relay installers take for the same home). It is taken only by the
outermost acquire, because the lock file is not reentrant and grants and trust
rebases nest inside an install. Managed-home installs, the real-home install
and opt-out sweep, and the legacy sweep all enter through it. Compare-and-swap
on restore stays as the backstop.

A lock that cannot be taken within its 10 s wait fails that install, which is
already best effort: launch prep logs it, and the real-home lane falls back to
the managed lane until its retry.

* fix(codex): opening a terminal no longer strips the shared Codex entry from ~/.codex

Every Orca instance on one HOME writes the same status-hook entry into the
user's ~/.codex/hooks.json, with its trust in config.toml. Launch prep runs on
every pane spawn, and under a managed Codex account it ran the legacy system
sweep. That sweep matched Orca entries by script file name, so it removed the
current shared entry and the trust blocks the grant ledger recorded. On a live
laptop hooks.json went 4139 -> 18 bytes about 150 ms before a new pane opened.
With hooks off, the real-home lane's launch prep swept the same way.

Now nothing automatic removes the current entry or its trust:
- The legacy sweep removes only an enumerated list of retired command forms
  that no build writes any more (#1019's double-quoted form, #1536's
  exec-guarded form, and Windows' per-userData bare path), plus their trust.
- ensureRealHomeCodexHookState with hooks off writes nothing; that covers
  launch prep, session resume and startup.
- Only the user's explicit opt-out (codexHookService.remove()) strips the entry
  and its ledger-recorded trust from the real home.
- The sweep-suppression gate existed only to stop the sweep from deleting the
  current entry, so it is deleted with its main-process wiring.

Startup with hooks off already skipped the real-home install; with this change
the first pane's launch prep with hooks off also leaves ~/.codex untouched.

* fix(codex): a pane's prepare-codex only repairs a home its own HOME's app installed

On macOS a pane starts through login(1), so it gets the user's real HOME even
when its Orca app runs with another one. The pane's `codex()` preflight
installed hooks in the CLI process with that real HOME: it rewrote
~/.orca/agent-hooks/codex-hook.sh, promoted trust into the real config.toml,
and wrote the real HOME's script path into the app's managed home.

The preflight now acts only when the managed home's hooks already run this
process's own shared script, which proves the app that installed them shares
its HOME. Otherwise it writes nothing; the app installed the home at spawn.

Why not a no-op: the preflight was added (#14326) because trust can go stale
between opening a pane and typing `codex`, for example in a pane that survives
an app update, and Codex then stops in hook review. For a same-HOME pane it
still repairs that. Why keep promotion: the install drops runtime trust the
system config does not back, so skipping promotion would delete approvals the
user gave inside Orca-launched Codex.

* test(agent-hooks): await every installer in the refresher coverage test

The test fired each managed installer without awaiting it and read
~/.orca/agent-hooks straight after. Codex's install now takes the
cross-process real-home lock before it writes its script, so the script
landed after the read. Await the installers, and stub Codex's trust sessions
so the awaited install cannot start a real `codex app-server`.

* fix(codex): retire the two real-home command forms the list missed

The real-home lane wrote two Codex hook forms into ~/.codex that no build
writes any more and that the enumerated retired list did not name:
- POSIX, #9501 until #10885: the file-guarded form draining with a bare `cat`.
- Windows, #9501 until #10221 took Windows off the real-home lane: the encoded
  PowerShell launcher for a non-cmd-safe script path.

The file-name sweep removed both before; the enumerated sweep left them in
place, trusted, still passing the script's exit status to Codex. Both now
match as frozen literals.

Also corrects the startup ordering comment: the real-home install runs first
so its in-slot upgrade lands before the managed install's sweep retires the
prior command; nothing re-arms a legacy sweep any more.

* fix(codex): take the real-home lock only when a write is needed

The previous commit made every entry to the real-home config lane take the
cross-process lock. That lane runs on every pane spawn and every typed
`codex` preflight, so the steady state paid an owner probe (a `ps` spawn on
macOS) and could wait up to 10 s behind another instance's trust session,
even though it wrote nothing.

Each real-home writer now compares the desired state with the files on disk
first, without the lock. Only when a write is needed does it take the lock,
re-read and recheck, then write:
- real-home install: the planned hooks.json, the shared script and the
  ledger-recorded grant are compared; the locked path re-plans from disk.
- legacy sweep: locks only when a retired entry is present; the sweep re-reads.
- approval promotion: locks only when there is something to promote; the
  promotions are recomputed under the lock.
- the shared ~/.orca/agent-hooks script: locks only when its bytes differ.
The explicit opt-out always takes the lock. The lock is reentrant through
async context, since grants and rebases nest inside an install, so the
config-lane option the previous commit added is removed.

* fix(codex): a shared script without its exec bit is not the steady state

The compare-first check matched the shared ~/.orca/agent-hooks script on bytes
alone. writeManagedScript also restores 0755 on every call, and the POSIX hook
guard skips a script that is not executable, so a script whose mode was lost
(a dotfiles restore, a plain copy) now stayed that way: every Codex hook
drained stdin and reported nothing until an app restart refreshed the script.

The check now also requires the mode the writer sets, so that case takes the
lock and the write path repairs it.

* test(codex): the retired encoded launcher never matches today's shared one

The shared encoded Windows launcher is still current for other agents, so the
comment claiming today's launcher is never encoded was wrong. What keeps the
retired matcher off it is the exact payload: since #14825 the shared launcher
prefixes its payload and drops -ExecutionPolicy Bypass. Pin that with a case.

* fix(codex): the pane step recognises its own script under a home path with an apostrophe

The same-HOME check looked for the script path wrapped in bare single quotes,
but both hook writers escape an apostrophe inside the quotes. A home such as
C:\Users\O'Brien never matched, so the pane-step repair never ran there.

* fix(codex): the trust-RPC escape hatch still keeps the real home off its lane

The no-write check reported a recorded grant as current, so with
ORCA_DISABLE_CODEX_TRUST_RPC set the real-home lane stayed in use. The grant
itself refuses before reading its ledger; the check now does the same.

* fix(codex): the shared script write no longer waits on the real-home lock

The write is atomic and skips identical bytes; waiting behind another
instance's trust session could only fail a pane's managed-home install.

* fix(codex): an in-Orca approval survives a launch that cannot get the real-home lock

The install drops runtime trust the system config does not back, so a
promotion skipped for want of the lock lost the approval for good. It
now writes unlocked, as it did before the lock existed.

* refactor(codex): take the cross-process real-home lock back out

The lock fixed no observed failure. The three that were observed each have
their own fix in this series: the legacy sweep matches only frozen retired
command forms, hooks-off launch prep writes nothing, and a pane's
prepare-codex repairs only a home its own HOME's app installed. The lock
instead brought its own defects: a steady-state spawn waiting behind another
instance's trust session, a compare-first split to avoid that, a script
write and an approval promotion that could fail for want of the lock.

Removed, with their tests: the real-home write lock and its async-context
reentrancy, the plan/compare split that kept it off steady-state spawns, the
compare-first legacy sweep, the locked approval promotion and its unlocked
fallback, the compare-first shared script write (writeManagedScript already
skips identical bytes and restores the exec bit), and the CLI tsconfig
entries the lock pulled in.

Kept: the retired-forms matcher, the hooks-off no-op, removal only on an
explicit opt-out, the pane own-script check, and the compare-and-swap
rollbacks. Every instance now writes identical bytes idempotently.

* fix(codex): an opt-out that cannot read hooks.json keeps Orca's trust and ledger

The opt-out swept the real-home entry, then dropped Orca's ledger-proven trust
whenever a ledger existed, even when the sweep could not read hooks.json. The
entry could still be there, now untrusted, and the ledger that proves ownership
was gone for the retry. Drop that trust only after a sweep that read the file.

* refactor(agent-hooks): one predicate for whether an agent's status hooks are on

"Global switch on and this agent not turned off" was spelled out separately
in the startup controls, the settings reconcile, the retained-home
reconcile, the WSL preflight RPC, the CLI preflight and the OpenCode plugin
selection. They now share one function, in a module light enough for the
CLI's per-launch Codex preflight to load. The PTY spawn env derives the
Codex flag from the switch and opt-out list it already carries, the same way
it does for OpenCode and Pi, instead of receiving a second copy.

* fix(codex): launch and resume prep honour Codex's per-agent hook opt-out

Turning Codex off in the per-agent hook settings removes Orca's Codex hook
entry, but launch prep and session resume read only the global hooks switch,
so the next Codex launch or resume wrote the entry straight back into the
real ~/.codex or the account's home. Both now read the per-agent predicate,
which the PTY spawn env and startup already honoured.

* fix(codex): turning Codex off per agent clears the real ~/.codex entry

While the real-home lane owns ~/.codex/hooks.json, the legacy system-home
sweep stands down. That gate read only the global switch, so turning Codex
off per agent ran remove() with the sweep still suppressed and left Orca's
entry in the real ~/.codex. The gate now reads the per-agent predicate, the
same as turning every hook off.

* test(codex): cover the system ~/.codex sweep gate for Codex turned off

The gate that lets the legacy system-home sweep run was an inline closure in
startup, so reverting it to the global switch left CI green. It is now a
pure function beside the gate it feeds, with a table test and a remove()
test on a seeded ~/.codex: turning Codex off strips Orca's entry and keeps
user hooks; with Codex on the entry stays.

* fix(cli): keep the agent-status hooks predicate loadable by the packaged CLI

The CLI's prepare-codex handler imported the predicate from src/main, but
the Electron build rebuilds out/main from its declared entries only, so the
packaged `orca agent hooks` commands could not load it (package jobs and the
CLI bundle-parity test were red). The predicate reads only settings, so it
now lives in src/shared, which the CLI compiles itself.

* feat(codex): every Orca build writes one frozen Codex hook command

The Codex hook command was built from this build's wrapper, so two builds
on one HOME disagreed about the bytes of the shared ~/.codex entry and kept
rewriting it, with a Codex trust session each time.

The command is now fixed per form and carries its form number:
- POSIX: one command with no path in it. It runs the shared script only in
  an Orca pane with hooks on (pane key and hook port set), drains stdin
  everywhere else, and always exits 0. A branch for a per-build script root
  is written now and stays dormant until Orca sets ORCA_AGENT_HOOK_ROOT, so
  that change will not move these bytes.
- Windows: the bare forward-slash path to the shared .cmd, which runs under
  PowerShell 7 and 5.1, Codex's hook hosts. A profile path that is not one
  PowerShell token gets a plain PowerShell form with the same branches.

The literals live in the form module, so a change to the shared hook
constants cannot move them; goldens pin the bytes. Every form keeps
`agent-hooks/codex-hook.*` in plain text, so older builds still recognize it.

* fix(codex): one main-process owner adds the real-home entry; nothing restores files

Each Orca writer of ~/.codex decided what Orca's entry must be from its own
build and instance, then removed or reverted whatever differed: launch prep
rewrote any Orca-shaped entry to this build's command and stripped Orca
entries from events this build does not use, and a failed trust session
restored hooks.json and config.toml from snapshots. With several instances
and builds on one HOME, every disagreement became a deletion or a revert.

The main process is now the one writer, and its writes are add-only:
- A launch or resume adds Orca's frozen entry to an event that has none and
  leaves every Orca entry it finds, so a running older build is never fought.
- App start also converts an older Orca form to the frozen command, once, in
  its own slot: one hooks.json write (one .bak) and one trust grant per home.
- A newer form is never rewritten or appended beside, and Orca entries in
  events this build does not use are kept.
- After a failed trust grant, only an entry this call wrote that is still
  untrusted is withdrawn, putting back the handler it replaced. Both files
  are re-read, so a concurrent edit, or the identical entry another Orca
  trusted meanwhile, survives.

Deleted: the compare-and-swap hooks.json restore, the config.toml snapshot
restore after a grant session and after a user-trust re-key, and the
rollback module. A grant session writes trust only at Orca's own keys, and
every caller settles those keys itself. A failed re-key of moved user hooks
now keeps the write and reports it; Codex lists those hooks for review.

* fix(codex): the pane CLI asks the app to prepare its Codex home

`orca agent hooks prepare-codex` ran Codex's install inside the pane. That
process can have the real HOME (login(1)) and runs outside the app's
in-process queues, so it was a second writer of ~/.codex and ~/.orca beside
the app. A check that the home ran "its own script" guarded it.

The pane step now only asks the app, over the same kind of local RPC the WSL
pane step already uses (agentHooks.prepareCodexForPane). The app checks that
the pane's CODEX_HOME is one its own userData owns, reads its own hooks
setting, and installs on its own queue. An app that is not running, or is
too old to know the method, makes the step a no-op, as it is on WSL. The
own-script check and the CLI's settings read are gone, and the preflight
module leaves the CLI bundle.

* fix(codex): delete the pane step on native hosts

The previous commit had `orca agent hooks prepare-codex` ask the app to
prepare the pane's Codex home. The case it existed for (#14326, a pane that
survives an app update with stale hook trust) did not reproduce, and no other
desktop agent host writes agent config from a terminal or launch wrapper.

- Deleted: the agentHooks.prepareCodexForPane RPC method, its params and
  catalog entry, and prepareManagedCodexHomeBeforeShellLaunch with its module,
  tests and CLI build entry.
- `agent hooks prepare-codex` is a no-op on native hosts. It stays for one
  release so shell wrappers from older builds, which still call it, exit 0.
- WSL panes are unchanged: they still ask the app over
  agentHooks.prepareCodexForWslPane.

The shell wrappers and ORCA_CODEX_LAUNCH_PREFLIGHT stay, because WSL panes
use the same wrappers and variable (forwarded through WSLENV). A native pane
still starts the CLI once per `codex` it runs; skipping that is a follow-up.

* test(codex): a failed trust session keeps concurrent edits to both files

QA case 9 at host level, on a real file system in a temp HOME: Codex's trust
session fails after another writer saved hooks.json and config.toml.

- Both saves survive, and no Orca entry is left that Codex would list for
  review: this call's entry is withdrawn.
- A failed one-time conversion puts the older Orca entry back in its slot and
  keeps both saves.

Both tests fail on the previous head, which restored config.toml from a
snapshot and left the untrusted entries in hooks.json. Removing the
withdrawal turns both red.

* feat(codex): read whether an Orca entry's stored trust is still current

A Codex release that changes how it hashes a hook leaves Orca's stored trust
stale: the entry is present, but Codex lists it as modified. Checking only
whether the entry is missing cannot see that.

readOrcaEntryTrust sorts a present entry into four states:
- trusted: the stored hash is the current one;
- untrusted: there is no stored hash;
- stale: the stored hash is not the current one;
- disabled: the user turned the entry off.

The caller can pass Codex's current hash, for example one a grant recorded.
The failed-grant withdrawal now uses it, and also keeps an entry the user
turned off. Nothing re-grants on 'stale' yet.

* fix(codex): a slow Codex start retries on the next launch, never for minutes

On a loaded Mac a cold `codex app-server` took over 10 s (QA case 4). The
grant timed out, the entry was withdrawn, and a 5-minute cooldown in both the
grant and the real-home install then refused every retry.

- The native session deadline is 30 s, the same as WSL's.
- A timeout starts no cooldown in the grant or in the real-home install. The
  next launch retries. Other failures keep their cooldown.
- Launches that queue behind a slow session share one follow-up run, so a
  launch waits for at most two sessions, not one per earlier launch.

Tests: a 15 s cold start still grants and keeps the entry; after a timeout,
the next launch runs a session at once; four queued launches run two
sessions. Each is red on the previous head, and each mechanism was removed in
turn to confirm its test turns red.

* fix(codex): Orca's automatic writes never move a user hook

Codex keys a hook's trust by its position in hooks.json. App start's collapse
of Orca duplicates removed every Orca entry and appended one at the end. That
moved any user hook that followed a removed entry, so the write waited on a
session to re-key the moved hook's trust.

App start now:
- converts the first Orca entry that sits in a plain slot to the frozen
  command, in place;
- drops any other Orca entry only when that moves no user hook;
- keeps a duplicate that a user hook follows, and trusts every frozen copy,
  so none is listed for review;
- appends only when no frozen entry is left.

Tests check user positions and user trust blocks byte-for-byte for each
automatic write: add-missing (append), the one-time conversion (in place),
a trailing duplicate, a duplicate before a user hook, and older duplicates
normalized to one entry. The three collapse cases fail on the previous head.
Removing the position check, or the in-place conversion, turns its tests red.
Only the explicit opt-out still removes an entry that user hooks follow.

* fix(codex): removing an Orca entry never waits on a Codex session

Removing an Orca entry from ~/.codex/hooks.json moves every user hook behind
it up a slot, and Codex keys trust by slot. The retired-form sweep, the
opt-out and a failed-grant withdrawal all asked a `codex app-server` session
to list the old trust before writing, and to re-key it afterwards. A timeout
there threw before the write and latched a 5-minute cooldown, so a slow cold
start blocked the retired-form sweep at boot (QA case 4).

Each moved hook's [hooks.state] block now moves to its new key, body bytes
unchanged, straight after the hooks.json write. Codex hashes a hook's content,
not its position or its file path, so the moved block stays exactly as valid
as it was: a trusted hook stays trusted, an untrusted one stays untrusted, and
one the user turned off stays off. No removal waits on or depends on a
session. A failed config.toml write keeps the hooks write and logs.

Deleted: the inspect and repair sessions, their client, and their cooldown.
The generation guards on the hooks.json writes stay, for other processes.

Tests: the retired sweep removes the retired entry and carries the trust of
the user hook behind it while every Codex session times out (red on the
previous head); the opt-out carries an appended user hook's trust; the move
carries trusted, disabled and untrusted states byte for byte. Removing the
move turns all of them red.

* fix(codex): a Codex launch never waits on Codex's approval of Orca's entry

A launch on the real-home lane awaited Codex's trust grant for the entry it
had just added. A cold `codex app-server` on a loaded Mac took over 10 s, so
the launch could wait that long, and a failure then latched a 5-minute
cooldown.

- Codex's approval runs in the background, with a 30 s cold-start budget.
- A launch uses the real home only when the ledger shows trust is already
  current. Otherwise it goes to the managed home at once, and the next launch
  picks up the finished grant.
- A launch that arrives while a grant runs does no work and does not queue
  behind it.
- A resume into the real home has no managed home to fall back to. It waits
  for the grant, but no longer than the 10 s a launch always could.
- A background grant that times out starts no cooldown; the next launch
  retries. Any other failure backs off for 10 s instead of 5 minutes.
  Success is what the ledger remembers.
- A failed grant still withdraws only what that install added and is still
  unapproved. The log now says how many entries it took back and when the
  next try comes.

Managed-home grants keep their 10 s deadline and stay on launch prep, as
before; they fall back to Orca-computed trust.

Tests:
- A 15 s start: the launch returns in under a second on the managed home, a
  second launch starts no session, the grant lands in the background, and the
  next launch uses the real home.
- A timeout sets no cooldown, withdraws its adds and logs it.
- Another failure retries after 10 s, not before.
- A resume waits only as long as allowed.
- Case 9 checks the log line and the retry.

Making the launch await the grant, a 10 s budget, either timeout cooldown, and
a 5-minute backoff were each tried, and each turns its test red.

* fix(codex): move a hook's trust only when every stored key has the known shape

Orca now edits Codex's trust store directly when a removal moves a user
hook. Three safeguards keep that honest:

- Fail safe. If any [hooks.state] key in config.toml does not have the
  shape `<path>:<event>:<group>:<handler>`, nothing moves and Codex asks the
  user to review. That shape was checked unchanged from Codex 0.141 to 0.158.
- Targeted. The file is read immediately before the atomic rename, and only
  the moved keys' blocks change. Every other byte stays, and no snapshot is
  restored.
- Verbatim. Each block's body moves as Codex wrote it, including fields
  Orca does not know. No hash is ever computed, and a hook with no block
  gets none.

Tests:
- An unknown key shape stops every move.
- Everything except the moved block survives byte for byte, and the moved
  body keeps an unknown field.
- In case 9, a hook the user approved during the failed session keeps its
  approval when the withdrawal moves it, beside the concurrent project edit.

Removing the shape check, or writing a computed block instead of the stored
body, turns these tests red.

* refactor(codex): keep only the trust read the failed-grant withdrawal uses

A capture across Codex 0.141, 0.150 and 0.158, switching in all six
directions, showed Orca's entry keeps the same hash and stays trusted. A
Codex upgrade does not make its trust stale, so nothing needs to re-grant
on staleness.

readOrcaEntryTrust keeps the four states the withdrawal needs, but loses
the parameter that let a caller pass a different current hash, and the test
for a Codex that hashes differently.

* fix(codex): native panes no longer start the Orca CLI before each codex

The pane step is a no-op on native hosts, but native panes still carried
ORCA_CODEX_LAUNCH_PREFLIGHT, so every `codex` typed in a pane started the
Orca CLI for nothing. Only a packaged Windows build's WSL pane now gets the
variable; the app prepares every native Codex home itself.

The resolver loses the dev-launcher path and its userDataPath option, which
only native panes used.

Tests: a native macOS, Linux and Windows pane gets no preflight, packaged or
not, even with the bundled CLI present; a WSL pane still gets the verified
absolute launcher. Letting native panes through again turns them red.

* chore(cli): say when the native prepare-codex no-op can go

Native pane wrappers from builds up to v1.4.216 still call it. It can be
deleted once no supported build's wrapper does.

* test(codex): check the WSL launcher path instead of asserting it

* fix(codex): a launch no longer waits behind the background real-home approval

The background grant ran its whole codex app-server session inside the shared
~/.codex/config.toml lane, and on a cold host its session was also the shared
capability probe. A launch sent to the managed home then waited on both: the
managed install and the project-trust write queue on that lane, and the
managed install's own grant waited for the probe. On a cold app-server that
was up to 30 s per launch.

The lane was held across the session only to protect the retired
capture-and-restore. Codex writes its own records, so the lane is now taken
only around Orca's own pre-grant write. The background grant runs its session
without publishing it as the shared probe, and the whole grant is bounded by
its deadline, so a hang outside the session cannot leave the lane 'granting'.

* fix(codex): a failed re-grant no longer strips Codex's own approval of Orca's entries

Before each trust session, the grant deleted every Orca record whose hash
matched the one Orca computes. That exists because a managed home's fallback
writes Orca-computed trust under both Windows path-separator spellings, and
Codex rewrites only its own spelling, so the other copy would linger. On
failure the managed and WSL fallbacks write that trust back, and before this
fold a snapshot restore covered it.

The real ~/.codex has neither: Orca never writes computed trust there (the
real-home lane does not run on Windows at all), so a matching record there is
Codex's own approval. After a ledger miss (another Orca profile, a Codex
update, a lost ledger) and a failed session, nothing put it back, and every
Orca entry showed "Hooks need review".

The clear now runs only for homes whose fallback writes that trust.

* fix(codex): a real-home resume spawns only once Orca's entry is approved or withdrawn

A resume that must run in ~/.codex waited at most 10 s for the background
approval, then spawned anyway. On a cold app-server that left Codex beside an
unapproved Orca entry, so the resumed pane showed hook review.

The resume now waits for the grant to settle. Settled means Codex approved the
entry, or the grant failed and withdrew its own unapproved write; the grant's
deadline bounds the wait (30 s, the cold-start budget), and a failed approval
never fails the resume.

Why this over the alternatives:
- Spawning at 10 s keeps the review prompt this fold exists to remove.
- Withdrawing at 10 s from the resume races the still-running session: Codex
  can write the frozen entry's hash after the withdrawal, and for a converted
  entry that marks the older command Orca put back as modified.
- A resume cannot use the managed home: the session lives in ~/.codex.
So the only states that cannot race Codex are the grant's own settle. The cost
is a longer worst case on a cold app-server (up to the 30 s deadline, plus any
managed-home install that holds the config.toml lane); a warm approval takes
seconds, and an approved entry costs no wait.

* fix(codex): keep the 5-minute trust cooldown for launch-path grants

The fold shortened the host's trust-grant cooldown from 5 minutes to 10
seconds for every grant. That was meant for the background ~/.codex approval,
which blocks no launch. The managed-home and WSL grants run inline on the
launch path, so with a hung app-server every launch more than 10 s after the
last failure paid the full inline timeout again (10 s native, 30 s WSL).

Cooldowns are now kept per lane: inline grants keep 5 minutes, the background
grant retries after 10 s, and neither lane's failure cools the other down. A
success, or a proven-missing surface, still clears both. The real-home
install's own retries (an unreadable hooks.json, unknown keys) are back on the
5-minute interval they had before the fold.

The cooldown moves to its own module so the grant stays within the file limit.

* fix(codex): a failed grant withdraws the exact copy it wrote

The withdrawal re-found "this call's" entry by command, taking the first
frozen handler in the event. When app start converted a later slot while an
earlier frozen copy sat in a matcher group (which conversion skips), a failed
grant acted on that earlier copy: it put the older command into it, or skipped
it, and left the converted, unapproved copy in place.

Each write now records where its handler landed, after any duplicate drops,
and the withdrawal acts only on that slot. A copy that has since moved is left
alone; the next launch's grant retries it.

* fix(codex): the failed-grant withdrawal checks hooks.json is unchanged before writing

The install and the retired-form sweep both refuse to replace ~/.codex/hooks.json
if it changed since they read it. The withdrawal did not: a save landing
between its read and its atomic replace was lost. The window is small, since
the withdrawal is synchronous, but it now carries the same guard.

* refactor(codex): drop rationale left over from the snapshot restore; name the trust-move module for what it does

Comments on the config.toml lanes still justified them by a grant's
capture-and-restore window, which the fold deleted, and the trust-write
deadline still counted a grant session holding the lane. They now give the
reason that remains: Orca's own multi-step reads and writes, and managed-home
installs that hold the lane across their inline grant.

codex-user-hook-trust-rebase no longer rebases through Codex; it moves stored
trust records, so it is now codex-user-hook-trust-moves.

The grant test that pinned two sessions on one config.toml to run one at a
time is removed: its reason was an interleaved capture and restore. Callers
that write config.toml around a grant hold their own lane, which the nested
installer test still covers.

* build(cli): list the trust-grant cooldown module in the CLI program

The CLI's agent-hooks handler loads the hook controls, which reach the Codex
trust grant; the CLI project is composite, so every module in that graph must
be listed.

* docs(codex): say which Windows hosts each hook command form runs under

Codex runs a hook under the turn's shell (PowerShell 7 or 5.1 in every
captured session) and, with no single local turn shell, under %COMSPEC% /C.
The bare forward-slash path ran under all three in the Windows host census.
The PowerShell form used for a profile path with a space does not parse under
cmd.exe; no form valid in all three hosts has been run for such a path, so the
form stays and the gap is stated here and in the PR.

* test(codex): type the withdrawal seam without an assertion

* fix(codex): a real-home resume starts at once, trusting Orca's entries for that process

A resume that must run in ~/.codex waited for Codex's background approval of
Orca's newly written hook entry: up to 30-40 s on a cold app-server. That made
the user's resume wait on bookkeeping, and the alternatives (start at 10 s with
Codex's hook review showing, or withdraw the entry and race Codex's own write)
were worse.

Codex reads hook trust from its session-flag config layer as well as the user's
config.toml, merged per key, and has since hook trust shipped. So the resume no
longer waits. When Orca's own frozen entries in ~/.codex are untrusted (or hold
a stale hash), the resume command carries
`-c hooks.state={'<key>'={trusted_hash='<hash>'},...}` for exactly those entries:
the key under both the logical and the real path of ~/.codex (Codex keys an
explicit CODEX_HOME by its real path), and the hash of that entry's content, so
it can trust nothing else at that slot. The user's hooks are never included,
nothing is written, and the background approval still runs for later plain
`codex` launches. An approved entry adds nothing; a Codex known to lack hook
trust gets nothing.

One inline table, because Codex splits a `-c` key on every `.` and the key holds
`.codex/hooks.json`. TOML literal strings keep `"` out of Windows native-argument
quoting. The flag goes before `resume <id>`, quoted for the pane's shell (portable
Unix, PowerShell or cmd), in the launch command and in the setup-sequenced copy of
it; a cmd line whose path cmd would expand, or a key with an apostrophe, is left
unchanged. SSH and WSL resumes get no preparation, so no local path reaches them.

* Revert "fix(codex): a real-home resume starts at once, trusting Orca's entries for that process"

This reverts commit 1bd30651d6.

* fix(codex): a real-home resume starts at once, without waiting for approval

A resume into the real ~/.codex waited until the background approval settled,
up to its 30 s deadline on a cold app-server: bookkeeping for later launches
gating the resume the user asked for. It now starts at once. If the approval is
still running, that first resume can show Codex's hook review once; the
approval then lands and later resumes and plain codex launches are trusted.

Trusting Orca's entries per process was the alternative, but the resume command
is typed into the pane's shell, and hook settings stay out of typed commands.

* test(codex): read real-home hook groups with the installer's own type

* fix(codex): a background approval is bounded only by its session's own deadline

Review loop 2, L3. grantWithinDeadline raced a second 30 s timer against
the background approval. Loop 1 added it so that a hang upstream of the
session could not leave the lane 'granting' forever.

That hang cannot happen. The only caller is the native real-home grant
(its plan is always host 'native'; the real-home lane is off on Windows,
so WSL never reaches it). Everything before the session is synchronous
there: command resolution and binary stamp, the ledger read, the
state-db backfill check, the capability and cooldown checks, and
runUnshared awaits no shared probe. A synchronous hang would freeze the
main thread, which no timer can rescue. The session itself starts a kill
timer right after spawn (runCodexAppServerSession), with the same 30 s,
and it kills the app-server tree when it fires.

So the outer timer was a second copy of that bound. Because it started
first, it won by the spawn time. It then settled the lane and cleared
backgroundGrant while the app-server was still alive, and the next
launch could start a second concurrent session. It abandoned the
session rather than cancelling it. Deleted, not moved: the session's
own timer is the one bound, and it cancels.

Test: codex-real-home-slow-app-server.test.ts "runs one session at a
time, ended by its own deadline". The fake session starts its timer
after a simulated spawn, as the real one does. A launch at 30 s finds
the session still running and starts none; the lane settles when the
session times out. It replaces the "settles a grant that never answers"
test, whose never-answering session could not time out at all.

* fix(codex): a background approval's retry has one schedule, the real-home lane's

Review loop 2, L4. A non-timeout background failure set two 10 s
schedules for one failure: the real-home lane's installRetryAfterMs,
which gates ensure, and a `<host>#background` cooldown in the grant
module. ensure's gate always tripped first, so the second one was
consulted only after something reset the first (turning hooks off).
Then it answered 'retry-cached', which wrote the entry into
~/.codex/hooks.json only to withdraw it again: churn, not protection.

Background plans now neither start nor consult a grant-module cooldown.
The real-home lane (installRetryAfterMs) is the one source of truth for
when a background approval runs again, and its 10 s interval moves into
codex-real-home-background-grant.ts, the module that sets it. The
cooldown module is back to one host-keyed map for launch-path grants,
with the same 5-minute interval as main. A success or a proven-missing
surface from either lane still clears the host's cooldown.

Tests:
- codex-hook-trust-grant.test.ts "neither starts nor waits on a
  cooldown for a background grant": two failing background grants each
  run a session and leave no cooldown; an inline failure still cools
  down inline grants and not the background one.
- codex-real-home-slow-app-server.test.ts "has one retry schedule:
  turning hooks off and on after a failure retries at once": after a
  failed approval, hooks off then on runs a session and installs,
  instead of a retry-cached write-and-withdraw.

* fix(codex): hooks turned off and on during an approval re-add Orca's entry

Review loop 2, L1. ensure returned at once whenever a background
approval was running, whatever the lane. Turning hooks off during an
approval sets the lane to 'removed' (usable), so turning them back on
returned 'removed' without re-adding the entry. Launches in that window
spawned in ~/.codex with no Orca hook and got no status for their
lifetime, for up to 30 s, until the approval settled and a later launch
re-added it.

ensure now returns early only while the lane is 'granting', which is
what the early return exists for: a launch never waits on Codex's
approval and uses the managed home until it lands. Any other lane runs
the normal add-missing install.

That install can start a second approval while the first is still
running. Approvals are now chained, so Codex still runs one session at
a time, and a finished approval clears the handle only if it is still
the latest one (before, an older approval's finally could clear a newer
one's handle). The older approval's result is already dropped by the
lane generation check.

Test: codex-real-home-slow-app-server.test.ts "re-adds the entry when
hooks go off and on during an approval, one session at a time". While
the approval hangs: opt-out removes the entry; re-enable re-adds every
entry, keeps launches on the managed home, and starts no second
session; once Codex answers, the lane is installed and every entry is
approved.

* test(codex): a launch during the real-home approval shows what it waits on

Review loop 2, M2. The launch test's fake Codex failed every
managed-home session at once with ENOENT, so the managed home's own
approval was an instant "unsupported" fallback, and the test could not
show that a launch sent to the managed home still waits on that home's
inline approval when its ledger misses (first use, a Codex update, a
lost ledger), up to 10 s, as on main.

Now the managed-home session behaves like a real one:
- "settles on the managed home with its hooks and the project trust
  written": the managed app-server answers; two launches settle in
  under 2 s while the real-home approval hangs, and the second launch
  finds the managed approval in its ledger (one managed session).
- new "waits up to the managed home's own 10 s approval when that home
  is cold too": the managed session fails at its own deadline, as the
  real one does. The first launch is still pending at 9.999 s and
  settles on the managed home at 10 s; the request asked for 10 s. The
  next launch settles at once, because the failed inline approval cools
  down for 5 minutes.

No product change.

* refactor(codex): the managed and WSL installs own their pre-approval trust clear

Review loop 2, L7. Before a Codex approval session, a managed or WSL home
clears the approvals Orca itself computed, because on Windows its
fallback writes them under both path spellings and Codex's canonical key
may not overwrite the other one. The fallback writes them back if the
session fails. ~/.codex has no such fallback, so there the clear would
only delete Codex's own records (loop-1 H2). The grant module carried
this as a plan flag, fallbackWritesSelfComputedTrust, and took the
config.toml lane around the clear itself.

The reviewer proposed moving the clear into the two callers. A literal
move, clearing before the grant call, is NOT behaviour-neutral, so this
does not do that:
- The grant first checks its ledger, which compares the stored hash
  with the one Codex recorded. Codex's hash equals Orca's computed one
  (the premise of readOrcaEntryTrust), so a clear before that check
  deletes exactly the record the ledger proves. Every managed launch
  would then miss the ledger and run an inline session (up to 10 s).
- Checked, not inferred: with the clear moved before the call in the
  managed install, codex-launch-during-real-home-grant.test.ts "settles
  on the managed home..." fails (2 managed sessions instead of 1).
  Log: ~/orca-qa/codex-real-home-leak/fb6/l7-literal-move.log

What this does instead: each caller passes its clear as the grant's
`beforeSession` step, which the grant runs only when a session will
actually run (after a ledger miss, and not on a cooldown or cached
fallback), exactly where the flag ran it. So:
- the flag and its "never set for the real home" rule are gone; the
  real-home grant passes no step, so the grant module has no path left
  that deletes a trust record in ~/.codex;
- the grant module's own lane acquisition around the clear is gone. It
  was always a pass-through: both callers already hold that file's
  lane (the managed install holds the runtime and system lanes, the
  WSL install holds its config.toml lane) across the whole grant.

No behaviour change. The loop-1 probes still pass as fixed: trust-strip
prints every entry trusted after a failed re-grant, and lane-hold
prints managedInstall=settled projectTrust=settled.

Tests (codex-hook-trust-grant.test.ts):
- "removes equivalent Windows fallback keys before the RPC writes
  canonical trust" now passes the managed caller's step;
- new "runs the caller's pre-session step only when a session runs":
  the step runs once for a session and not on the ledger hit after it.

* chore(codex): comments stop describing a lock held across the session, or a rollback

Review loop 2, L6 comment sweep (comments and one test name only):
- codex-trust-config-concurrent-launch.test.ts: the test named "does not
  let a failing launch roll back a concurrent launch" said the per-file
  lane was the only thing left and that the doomed run's rollback must
  not resurrect the file. There is no lane across a session and no
  rollback now. Retargeted to what it covers: "leaves a concurrent
  grant's records in place when a sibling grant fails" (a restore would
  still turn it red).
- codex-trust-grant-ledger.ts: "a grant session blocks launch prep" is
  true only of inline grants; the background one still costs an
  app-server start. The drift clause no longer says "before the pane
  launches", which is false for the real home.
- agent-trust-write-deadline.ts: a stray hard wrap.
The install.ts:105 comment was fixed with L1. A sweep of src/main/codex,
src/main/startup, src/main/agent-hooks, the trust presets and the CLI
handlers for rollback, restore, rebase, capture/restore, and a lane held
across a grant or session found nothing else stale; the remaining "no
restore" comments state the current rule.

* fix(codex): a real-home resume waits for the one running approval, up to its 30 s limit

Review loop 2, M1; coordinator ruling. A resume into ~/.codex has no
managed home to fall back to. 5a737261d8 let it start at once beside an
Orca entry still awaiting Codex's approval. Codex's TUI then shows a
full-screen hook-review picker before the session and waits for keys:
"Trust all and continue" also trusts the user's own unreviewed hooks,
and "Continue without trusting" leaves that session with no Orca status
for its whole life, because Codex does not reload hooks when Orca's
approval lands later. Panes restored at app start after an update hit
it too, since the start-time conversion leaves every entry awaiting
approval.

The resume now waits, but only while Orca's entry in ~/.codex is
written and a grant is approving it (lane 'granting'). Every resume
waits on that same in-flight grant: ensure never starts a second one
while the lane is 'granting', so panes restored together share one
session. The bound is the grant's own session limit (30 s). The grant
settles only after Codex approved the entry, or after it withdrew its
own unapproved adds, so the resumed session starts either trusted or
with no Orca entry: never beside an unapproved one, and no picker. On
a withdrawal that session has no Orca status, as on main after its
10 s wait. A failed approval never fails the resume.

Tests (codex-launch-during-real-home-grant.test.ts):
- "waits for a warm approval, and spawns with the entries approved";
- "spawns at the approval session limit with Orca entries withdrawn"
  (fake timers: pending at 29.999 s, spawns at 30 s with no Orca entry);
- "makes panes restored together wait on one approval session" (three
  resumes, one session, all settle once it lands).
codex-launch-per-agent-hook-opt-out.test.ts: a resume into ~/.codex
awaits the approval; a resume into a managed account home does not.

* fix(codex): repeated background approval timeouts back off, growing to 5 minutes

Review loop 2, M3; coordinator ruling. A timeout of the ~/.codex
approval starts no cooldown, so the next launch retries at once. On a
host where codex app-server never starts within 30 s, every launch then
wrote Orca's entry into ~/.codex/hooks.json, withdrew it again, and
started another 30 s session, for the rest of the process: an unbounded
retry with no exit.

After 3 timeouts in a row the retry now waits 10 s, then 1 minute, then
5 minutes for every later one. The first two timeouts still retry on the
next launch, so a slow cold start is not punished. Any other outcome
ends the streak (a success, or any other failure, which keeps its own
10 s wait). The streak lives only in memory, so every app start begins
at zero and a slow boot can never latch.

Tests (codex-real-home-slow-app-server.test.ts):
- "backs off after three timeouts in a row, growing to 5 minutes, and a
  success resets it": the first two timeouts retry at once, then 10 s,
  1 min, 5 min, 5 min; after a success, a fresh approval gets two
  immediate retries again and a 10 s backoff after the third;
- "keeps trying after timeouts during a slow first start, once the app
  server answers": three timeouts, then the next attempt at 10 s
  installs.

* refactor(codex): one approval at a time, decided under the config.toml lane

The real-home check kept a lane label, a generation stamp, a promise chain of
ensures and a chain of approvals, and decided from the label at call time.
Concurrent resumes from any state other than 'granting' each started their own
approval (N x 30 s), a chained approval ran a plan an earlier failure had
withdrawn, a hooks-off check during an approval released a waiting resume beside
unapproved entries, and an app-start conversion during an approval was dropped.

Now each check is one step under the real config.toml lane: an approval in
flight answers 'approving' (unusable), hooks off answers 'removed', an open
retry window answers 'unavailable', and otherwise the unchanged install runs and
starts at most one approval. The approval settles under the lane: it withdraws
its own unapproved adds on failure, sets the retry, and derives the verdict from
the settings and the outcome, then runs an owed conversion. A resume waits only
while an approval runs and an unapproved Orca entry is on disk. The opt-out
sweep moves verbatim into its own module.

* fix(codex): only a success or app start resets the approval timeout streak

The ruling is that three timeouts in a row back off, and the count resets on
success and at app start. A non-timeout failure or an unexpected error also
reset it, so a host alternating those with timeouts never backed off.

* fix(codex): a Windows profile path the shells cannot carry bare runs through cmd.exe

The Windows hook command was the bare forward-slash script path, or, for a
profile path that is not one PowerShell word, a PowerShell script. That script
cannot parse under cmd.exe, which Codex uses when a session has no single local
turn shell, so such a profile got no status there.

A path of only letters, digits and _ . : / ~ - stays bare. Any other path,
including one with a space, & ^ $ ` ' ! ( ) or a non-ASCII character, is written
as cmd --% /d /c @"<path>", which ran under PowerShell 7, Windows PowerShell 5.1
and cmd.exe for each of those characters with a real Codex 0.158.0. The choice
depends only on the path, so every build on a machine writes the same bytes. A
machine holding the earlier PowerShell spelling converts it once at app start.

* build(cli): list the real-home hook sweep module in the CLI program

* fix(codex): the Windows cmd spelling names the system cmd.exe and turns off delayed expansion

A profile path the shells cannot carry bare was written as
cmd --% /d /c @"<path>". Under Codex's cmd.exe host the outer cmd.exe resolves
a bare `cmd` from the hook's working directory first, so a repo holding
cmd.bat (or .cmd, .com, .exe) at the session cwd would run on every hook event.
And with delayed expansion turned on in the registry, a `!` in the path was
dropped.

The spelling is now <SystemRoot>/System32/cmd.exe --% /d /v:off /c @"<path>",
unquoted (PowerShell reads a quoted first token as an expression) and with
forward slashes. The Windows directory comes from %SystemRoot% when written,
else from the directory above %ComSpec%'s System32, so both give the same bytes;
if neither is a drive-absolute path it can spell unquoted, it is C:/Windows,
which is still absolute. The bytes stay a pure function of the profile path and
that directory, so every build on a machine writes the same command. Safe
profile paths keep the bare path. Older Orca forms, including the bare-cmd
spelling, convert once; the new spelling is never swept as retired.

* refactor(codex): an approval's settle runs no deferred conversion

An app-start conversion that arrived while an approval ran was remembered and
run by that approval's settle. The settle then rewrote an older entry in place,
unapproved, and started a second approval inside the same wait that releases
every resume, so a resume could start beside an entry Codex would put up for
review.

That path could not happen: the only conversion caller is app start, and it is
the process's first check, so no approval can be running when it arrives. The
deferral and the settle's second check are deleted. A conversion that met an
approval would now be skipped until the next start, and the test for this case
pins that the settle writes nothing new and runs one session.

* fix(codex): an approval's settle keeps a failed opt-out's verdict and ends only its own flight

With hooks read off, an approval's settle always concluded 'removed', which the
routing check treats as usable. If an opt-out during that approval could not
read hooks.json, it had concluded 'unavailable' because the entry may still be
there, and the settle overwrote that. The settle now keeps 'unavailable' when
hooks are off; the next hooks-off check or opt-out re-derives it as before.

The settle's fallback when it cannot run now clears the running approval only
if it is still its own, and the routing check's comment states its rule: never
usable while an approval runs.

* fix(codex): spell the system cmd.exe with backslashes

Under Codex's cmd.exe host the outer cmd.exe hands the typed program text to
the child verbatim, and cmd.exe scans its whole command line for switches, so a
forward-slash C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe is read as switches: the hook never
runs ("The syntax of the command is incorrect.") and /d is lost. Measured live
on Windows; both PowerShell hosts rewrite argv0 and were unaffected. The script
path after @" keeps forward slashes.

* chore(codex): say why the cmd.exe path is absolute, as measured on Windows

* test(codex): Windows managed-install tests expect the frozen command

They still asserted main's PowerShell text and a backslash bare path; they only
run on Windows, so nothing here caught it. Also correct the /v:off comment: a
lone ! is never dropped, only a !NAME! pair expands.

* ci: run the Codex managed-install tests in the Windows job

Its Windows-only cases skip everywhere else, so nothing ran them; three of them
still asserted a command this branch no longer writes.

* ci: a change to the Codex managed-install tests starts the Windows job

Also say what the missing-script case asserts: a non-zero exit, which
PowerShell reports as 1.

* chore(codex): name the hook trust key pattern for what it matches

* test(codex): the managed-install tests remove folders with the retrying helper

Now that they run in the Windows lane, a raw recursive rm there can throw EPERM
after the assertions pass.

* refactor(codex): one Codex hook-trust key pattern for the trust move and #23958's carry

* test(codex): the trust move carries a block in Codex's quoted spelling and leaves no second table

Brennan Benson 7cae036ebf fix(native-chat): a failed Codex turn shows its error, not a raw thread-status row (#23704)
* fix(native-chat): a failed Codex turn shows its error, not a raw thread-status row

Codex reports `thread/status/changed` {systemError} just before the `error`
frame of a failed turn. The translator read it for session state, then let it
fall through to the generic-frame fallback, whose payload check reads
`systemError` as a failure and printed "codex · notification:thread/status/changed"
in red above the real error row.

The translator now owns the notification: it reads the stopped-running verdict
exactly as before, then journals nothing for any arm (idle, active, notLoaded,
systemError). The error row that follows still carries Codex's sentence and
still fails the turn.

* refactor(native-chat): the Codex thread status is owned through the typed-translator registry

The translator already reads every thread status for session state. Listing
the kind beside Claude's background-task frames makes that ownership visible
where the fallback consults it, instead of a second method check in the
translator.

* chore(native-chat): the typed-translator registry key is checked against the provider table

A mistyped provider key compiled and silently brought the row back. Also
retire the renamed constant from a Claude test comment and say which path
the classifier-only fallback test covers.

* fix(native-chat): the Codex translator vouches only for the thread status it read

The covered flag means this exact frame was handled; passing it for every
notification would silently hide any Codex kind later added to the registry.
Also say why a state-only kind may be listed, and retitle the cross-provider
coverage test now that Codex has entries.
2026-09-30 14:13:51 -07:00
Brennan Benson cb363444f3 feat(native-chat): register Codex default-mode helpers as subagents (#22619)
* feat(native-chat): register Codex default-mode helpers as subagents

Codex's default multi-agent mode announces a helper only as the
collabAgentToolCall that spawned it; it sends no subAgentActivity. The
roster and the background-task tracker registered children only from
subAgentActivity, so such a helper had no record, no strip row and no
roster row, and its commands read as the session's own.

One announcement reader now yields a child from either wire shape, and
both the journal roster and the tracker register through it into the
same executions, so a session sending both keeps one child per thread.
A finished closeAgent ends the helper's running turn as stopped through
the executions, beside the child's own turn and thread frames.

Each collab call renders as a tool row (spawn_agent, wait_agent,
close_agent, ...) naming the helper the way the roster does, with what
the helper said back as its output, instead of the raw provider row.

* fix(native-chat): name a spawn row by its prompt until the roster holds its helper

Also pin that the roster row appears when the helper's first turn arrives
before the spawn call finishes.

* test(native-chat): a spawn call keeps its own row beside the roster row it starts

* fix(native-chat): pair a structured tool row's output with its own call

A run paired results to calls by position alone, so once one call finished
with no output (a Codex spawn_agent row) every later output drew under the
call before its own. A structured row carries its call and output together,
so the projected result now names its call id and pairing honors it,
falling back to position for results that name none.

* fix(native-chat): the Codex roster row follows the executions, so every child ending settles it

The subagent-group row was rewritten only on a child's turn/started and
turn/completed. A child turn ended any other way — a fatal error, its
thread closing, its caller closing it — settled the strip and the host
record through the executions but left the transcript row reading working
until the session ended.

The executions now say when a child's execution changes, and the roster
revises its row from that, whichever frame changed it. handleTurn still
re-derives to hand back its write admission; the revision is idempotent.

* fix(native-chat): a restored Codex call row names its helper, not its thread id

History replay never runs the live item router, so the roster never learned
the helpers a restored thread had spawned, and a restored wait_agent,
close_agent or send_input row labelled its helper with the raw thread id.
Replay now registers each announced helper for its name and membership only:
register starts no execution, so no strip entry, record or roster row claims
the helper runs until a live turn of its own says so.

The replayed-item handling moves into the restore module beside the replay
that calls it. Also name the roster's render contract in handleItem, and say
why the collab tool-name map is not a spelling fix.

* fix(native-chat): register a Codex helper whose spawn call failed but created its thread

Codex reports a spawn as failed when the helper it created errored at birth,
yet the call still names the thread it created, and that thread can run. The
spawn was registered only when the call completed, so such a helper existed
nowhere and its shell read as the session's own bare command: the original
default-mode bug. A spawn now registers whenever it names a receiver; one in
progress, or one that created nothing, names none. A failed closeAgent still
ends nothing, because the helper was not closed.

* refactor(native-chat): each Codex thread's latest token total gets its own home

Every thread's running total, member or not, with the rule that the newest
frame replaces the last and the recency-ordered cap, moves out of the roster
into codex-thread-token-totals.ts. The roster still selects its children's
totals at write time. With the producer linkage the roster now builds, it
was past the size limit.

* refactor(native-chat): the messages a session list quotes get their own module

The readers of a session's newest own prompt and own assistant prose move from
the status projection into structured-agent-session-latest-messages.ts, and
are re-exported so their consumers keep one import site. With the status
clock the projection now carries, a tool result naming its call put it past
the size limit.

* test(native-chat): a Codex helper's command is a live record until its process reports its exit

A helper's in-turn shell is a live command record owned by the helper and is also its open
Bash operation; its exit removes the record. A caller's closeAgent kills the helper's
processes, and each still reports its exit on the helper's thread, so the close leaves the
command to that exit rather than ending it itself.

* fix(native-chat): every reader of a tool run pairs a result with the call it names

The folded desktop run now pairs a result with the call it names, but mobile's tool run, the desktop edit cards and the task lists still paired by position through `pairToolBlocks`. In a Codex default-mode session the new `spawn_agent` row finishes with no output, so on mobile the helper's reply drew under `spawn_agent` and `wait_agent` showed none, and a desktop edit card could take the next command's output as its own.

`pairToolBlocks` now follows the same rule as `pairNativeChatToolResults`: a result that names its call answers that call, and one that names none answers the oldest unanswered call as before.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex helper's turn ends on its own frames, not on its caller's closeAgent

A finished `closeAgent` call ended the helper's running turn as `stopped`. But the call's status is not the close's outcome: Codex sets it from the helper's own agent status, so a close that errors on a running helper still reports `completed`. Orca then marked a helper that was still running as cancelled in the strip, the host record and the roster row, and because the first ending a turn gets stands, its real ending could never correct it.

A close that works does not need the edge either. Codex's shutdown of the helper aborts its running turn, and the app-server reports that as the helper's own `turn/completed` with status `interrupted`, which Orca already maps to `stopped`. So a helper's turn now ends only on its own frames (its `turn/completed`, a fatal `error`, `thread/closed`) or the session ending, and the close is only its call row.

This also drops the child-work evidence re-keying that existed only for the close: every remaining frame names the thread that sent it.

* fix(native-chat): a tool result that names a call is never given to a different call

A result that named a call id with no unanswered match fell back to the oldest unanswered call. On mobile, a run shows at most six calls, so a command past that window whose output named its own call gave that output to an earlier call that finished with none, such as `spawn_agent`.

A result that names its call now answers only that call and otherwise stays unpaired. A result that names no call still answers the oldest unanswered one. Both pairing readers share the one rule through `answeredToolCallIndex`.

* test(native-chat): name the Codex default-mode test file after the subagents it covers

* fix(native-chat): a Codex helper is known from any call that names it, not only its spawn

A helper whose spawn Orca never saw (history replay after compaction dropped the spawn, or a resume or message to a helper from earlier) stayed unregistered, so its shell read as the session's own command: the bug this PR fixes, in another shape.

Every collab call now announces each helper it names, skipping a receiver the finished call reports notFound. The spawn's prompt still labels a helper when it was seen; otherwise the helper has no label and reads as any unnamed subagent does. A send_input, like the spawn, names the parent turn the helper's next run belongs to.

The session's own thread is excluded once, in the reader, instead of at each of its three callers.

* fix(native-chat): every finished Codex collab call row carries what the call reports

A client that predates result call ids (an older mobile app, or an older desktop reading a newer host) projects the journal itself and pairs each tool result with the oldest unanswered call. This PR publishes collab calls as tool rows, and a finished spawn_agent, send_input, close_agent or resume_agent on a running helper had no output, so such a client drew each later output in the run under the call before its own (the parent's shell output under spawn_agent, the helper's reply under the shell).

Every finished call now has an output taken from the item: a wait's reply from each helper that finished (an errored helper's error), and for every other call the helper's reported status in Codex's own words (Pending init, Running, Completed, ...). A close or resume no longer shows the helper's last reply as if the call returned it. A wait whose end names no helper (it timed out, or v2) reads Finished waiting; any other call with no state reads its own status.

A call also keeps naming the helpers its started item named: Codex ends a timed-out wait with no receivers, so its row lost the helper's name when it finished.

* refactor(native-chat): the desktop run's tool pairing is a view of pairToolBlocks

Desktop runs and every other reader (mobile, edit cards, task lists, the ask row) each had their own pairing loop sharing one index rule. The desktop's pairNativeChatToolResults now reads the pairs pairToolBlocks makes, so a run is paired by one loop and a new reader cannot add a third. No behaviour change.

* test(native-chat): type the positional-client pairs without assertions

* fix(native-chat): a finished Codex collab call row says what the call did, in Codex's own words

A close_agent row read `Running` and a spawn_agent row `Pending init`: each showed the helper's status snapshot from before the call took effect, so a close that stopped its helper read as though it had not worked.

Each finished call's output now follows Codex's own client: spawn reads `Spawned` (or `Agent spawn failed` when no helper was created), send_input `Sent input`, close `Closed`, and resume the helper's status summary. A wait keeps each finished helper's reply, with other statuses in Codex's summary wording (`Error - <message>`). The row label already names the helper, so the output does not repeat it.

* docs(native-chat): the collab call reader says which calls show the helper's snapshot as output

Since spawn, send_input and close rows say what the call did, the reader's header was wrong to claim every call row shows the reported snapshot as its output: only a wait or resume does.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex spawn call no longer claims it ran an agent

Codex's spawn_agent call ends as soon as the helper starts, so counting it as running an agent drew "Ran 1 agent" directly above "Kicked off 1 subagent · working" while the helper was still working, and "Ran 1 agent · 1 failed" when Stop cancelled a spawn before any helper existed. Claude's Task call lasts as long as its subagent, so it keeps the agent category; the Codex spawn row is now a plain tool call and the roster row alone stands for the helper.

* test(native-chat): a Codex helper's row settles on the failed completion that follows a fatal error

Codex follows every turn-ending `error` with the turn's failed `turn/completed`,
on a helper's thread as on the primary, and only that completion ends the turn.
The roster test now sends both and checks the row, strip and record stay
working through the error and settle on the completion.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex helper's section opens while the parent spawns, waits on or messages it

A running chat holds a subagent's section open while the parent's newest row delegates to that subagent. For Codex that rule only knew the raw collab status row; this PR writes each collab call as a tool row (spawn_agent, wait_agent, send_input, close_agent, ...) naming its helpers in `input.agents`, so a default-mode helper's section stayed shut for its whole run while Claude's opened.

The delegation reader now reads a Codex collab tool row as a delegation to the first helper it names, the same rule the raw row keeps for journals written before this change; a call naming no helper stays ordinary output. The row names and the `agents` key live in one shared module the host writes from and the reader reads, instead of a second list.

The new test drives the real adapter's rows through the transcript projection to the delegation; the collab frame harness moves to a fixture shared with the positional-clients test.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex collab call with a long prompt still names its helper

A collab call row bounded its whole input as one value, so a spawn or send_input whose prompt passed the 16 KB journal limit was stored as a clipped wrapper: the row lost the helper's name and thread ids, and with them the label and the delegation that opens the helper's section.

The prompt is now clipped on its own with the journal's inline-text bound, marker included; the helper's name, ids, model and effort are bounded as before and always survive.

Brennan Benson 444e0b1cf9 fix(codex): recognise Codex's quoted spellings in config.toml, and repair Orca's duplicates (#22592) (#23958)
* fix(codex): recognise Codex's quoted project-trust spellings in config.toml (#22592)

Codex's settings screen writes project trust as ["projects"."/p"] and
"trust_level" = "trusted". Orca's matchers only knew the bare spelling, so a
trust write appended a second [projects."/p"] table (or a second trust_level
line) and every codex command then failed with "duplicate key". The config
mirror kept both spellings in Orca-managed homes for the same reason.

- Project table headers are now read through the existing TOML key-path
  parser, so bare, quoted, literal-quoted, mixed and spaced spellings are the
  same table for trust writes and the managed-home mirror/dedupe.
- trust_level is found by decoded key, in both the trust writer and the
  mirror's trust reader, and an existing key is rewritten, never duplicated.
- On the next trust write, a table older Orca appended (exactly
  [projects."<p>"] holding only trust_level = "trusted") that duplicates the
  user's table, or the bare line it inserted under a quoted "trust_level", is
  removed; the user's table wins and the atomic writer keeps config.toml.bak.
  Any other duplicate, or a repair that would still leave one, leaves the file
  untouched and logs once.

* build(cli): list the new Codex trust modules in the CLI project

* fix(codex): recognise Codex's quoted hooks.state spellings and repair Orca's copies (#22592)

Codex writes hook trust as ["hooks"."state"."<key>"] (and the parent as
["hooks"."state"]). Orca's hook-trust writer, parent-table check and mirror
only knew the bare spelling, so a hook-trust write appended a bare copy and
the file failed to parse with "Cannot declare ... twice".

- The hooks.state header, parent-table and mirror checks now use the TOML
  key-path parser, like project tables.
- The duplicate repair now also removes Orca's own hooks.state tables (an
  exact [hooks.state."<k>"] with only enabled + trusted_hash, or an empty
  [hooks.state]) that repeat a table in another spelling, and runs on hook
  trust writes too, so a file with both project and hook duplicates is fully
  repaired. The Orca-shaped copy is removed whichever order the two tables are
  in, only when exactly one other table (the user's) remains; anything else is
  left untouched and logged once.

* fix(codex): carry plain-Codex plugin and project hook trust into Orca's Codex homes (#22592)

Codex keeps hook trust in $CODEX_HOME/config.toml under hooks.state, keyed
by the hook's source. Plugin keys (`id@mkt:path`) and project keys
(`<repo>/.codex/...`) are the same in every home, but the mirror dropped
every hooks.state table from ~/.codex, so Codex inside Orca asked users to
re-trust plugin and project hooks they had already trusted in plain Codex.

- classifyHookTrustKey splits keys into home-scoped (the home's own
  hooks.json/config.toml, re-keyed by install as before) and shared.
- The mirror now carries shared hook trust from ~/.codex in every spelling.
  A key the managed home already holds keeps the managed copy, a key
  repeated in ~/.codex is carried once, and the parent [hooks.state] table
  is never copied, so the result never declares a table twice.
- mergeSystemCodexConfigIntoRuntime moves to codex-config-mirror-merge.ts
  to keep codex-config-mirror.ts under the line limit.
- Tests cover plugin/project carry in each spelling, user-hook keys staying
  out, repeated launches, managed-copy precedence, Windows key spellings,
  parent tables, and user-hook trust re-keying (trusted_hash and enabled)
  from every ~/.codex spelling.

* fix(codex): carry session_end and interrupt hook trust into Orca's Codex homes (#22592)

The shared-trust classifier parsed hook keys with Orca's own trust-key
parser, which only knows the ten events Orca installs hooks for. Keys for
Codex's session_end and interrupt events did not parse, so their plugin and
project trust was treated as home-scoped and left out of the managed home.

The classifier now reads the source path from Codex's key shape
`{source}:{event}:{group}:{handler}` for any event label. A key without
that shape is still never carried. Tests cover both events for plugin and
project keys in both spellings, user-layer keys for both events, and five
unattributable key shapes.

Brennan Benson 5b3366f78e test: unit tests can no longer write a developer's real agent or Orca settings (#23979)
* fix(agent-trust): write per-user trust under the home the launched agent reads

The Cursor, Copilot, Qoder and Antigravity writers and the local Codex config list
resolved ~ with os.homedir() at write time, so any test that reached them wrote into
the developer's real ~/.codex, ~/.cursor, ~/.copilot or ~/.gemini. Each writer now
takes the home, derived once from the launch env (HOME, or USERPROFILE on Windows,
else this host's home) by launchedAgentHome, which the SSH relay already used.

* test: give tests that wrote the real agent or Orca home a temp one

The structured Codex adoption replay pre-trusted /repos/workspace-1 in the real
~/.codex/config.toml; it now runs with a temp HOME and userData. The Codex
session-resume and WSL hook tests created Orca's managed Codex home under the live
userData, and the Claude Agent Teams tests wrote their tmux shim into ~/.orca; each
now runs against a temp userData or HOME.

* test: fail any unit test that writes the real agent or Orca home

A vitest setup file wraps the node:fs mutating calls and refuses a target under the
account's real ~/.codex, ~/.claude(.json), ~/.orca, ~/.cursor, ~/.copilot, ~/.gemini,
~/.qoder or Orca userData, found through os.userInfo() so a test that swaps HOME
cannot hide it. The refusal is recorded and rethrown after the test, since trust
writers swallow errors. Reads are untouched. It stands down only while an opted-in
real-agent suite's own switch is set. It also unsets what an Orca terminal exports
toward the live app (userData, Codex and Claude homes, and the Codex launch preflight
CLI, which a shell test would otherwise run), so a local run matches CI.

* test: type the guarded fs call from its narrowed original

Brennan Benson 75040eba5a test: open, seed and read the agent-session record store through one test harness (#23986)
* test: open, seed and read the agent-session record store through one harness

Tests that open the durable agent-session record store, seed it, or read
back what it persisted now go through agent-session-record-store-test-harness.ts
instead of calling AgentSessionRecordStore.open or touching agent-sessions.json
themselves. A later change that moves the store into the chat database then
changes the harness instead of every test. No production code changes.

Tests whose subject is the JSON file itself (its .bak recovery, salvage,
schema versions, permissions, and what older builds read back) keep reading
and writing the file directly; the storage move rewrites or deletes them.

* test: address the record-store harness by the host's state directory

The harness took the store's own folder, so each caller picked one
(join(root, 'store'), or 'agent-sessions' where a test read the store the
runtime owns). A later change that moves the store into the state
directory's journal database could not tell those apart, and would have
had to edit every caller again.

Every harness function now takes the state directory, the one the test's
journal database and recovery capsule already live in, and keeps the
store in the same subfolder the runtime uses. Callers pass that directory;
store-only tests pass their temp directory unchanged. Format tests that
share a directory with harness calls take the file path from
testAgentSessionStoreFilePath.

The folder name moves from a private constant in the runtime to
AGENT_SESSION_STORE_DIR_NAME beside the store's file name, so the harness
shares it without importing the runtime. Its value and every path built
from it are unchanged.

Neil 98039676f3 test: retire codex cases whose setup is inert or whose name outruns its input (#23996)
Semantic sweep of src/main/codex, daemon and git. 16 cases and 4 it.each rows
removed across 11 files; no production code touched, no files deleted.

Inert setup — the case flips the verdict by hand and the ceremony changes nothing:
- three `codex-stale-pane-accounts` cases varied `environmentHomeOverride`, which
  `codex-stale-pane-accounts.ts:38-42` never reads (it reads `selectionKey`,
  `homeRoute` and `accountId`); one also rewrote `.zshrc` and called
  `__resetShellStartupEnvCache()` while both verdicts came from the
  `activeHostHomeRoute` argument the test sets directly.

Names outrunning their input:
- an `it.each` row named `'leap century'` stepped `['1999','12','31']` to
  `['2000','01','02']` — it never touches February, so it is the `'year rollover'`
  row under a name promising a leap rule;
- `it.each([1, 2, 3])('keeps pre-ownership baseline version %s canonical…')`
  collapsed to version 1: `config-settings-baseline.ts:185` only validates the
  version is one of the three, and the policy is driven by
  `parsed.mcpServers === undefined`. Version 3 without `mcpServers` is an
  impossible shape, since v3 is what the writer emits *with* it.

A self-comparison: `codex-session-index-heal.test.ts:802` looped
`CODEX_SHORT_LIVED_PROBE_APP_SERVER_ARGS` asserting `args` contains each entry,
but `buildNativeHealInvocation` sets `args: [...CODEX_SHORT_LIVED_PROBE_APP_SERVER_ARGS]`
(`codex-session-index-heal.ts:298`) — the constant against itself. The full
`toEqual` with the shim is owned by `codex-short-lived-app-server-spawn.test.ts:33`;
the `CODEX_HOME` pin stays and the case is retitled to match.

Five exact source greps over `POSIX_PROVIDER_SUPERVISOR_SCRIPT` went because
`codex-app-server-posix-supervisor.integration.test.ts` executes that same script
and asserts the behavior for real — owner-PID refusal, group leadership,
group-SIGKILL escalation after a SIGTERM-ignoring provider, and exit-code relay.

Three greps in that same file are KEPT, one wave after ~84 files of that shape
were deleted, because nothing else can reach them: no integration test inspects
the provider's env, so a leaked `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` would silently change how
codex runs; and `stdin.once('close')` matters because the integration test's
`stdin.end()` would still pass if only `'end'` were registered.

Also collapsed four `it.each` blocks whose callback took no parameter, so every
row ran the identical body while the name advertised per-scenario coverage:
`['local IPC', 'SSH remote runtime']` built one transport, and
`['visible blur', 'terminal tab switch', 'split pane switch']` plus
`['terminal close', 'tab unmount']` each ran one harness. Those scenarios were
never constructed; the false claim is removed rather than the coverage, because
there was none. A single-row `it.each` whose name renders truthfully, and one
whose callback is a named function that does take the parameter, are untouched.

Brennan Benson 1aa943798a fix(codex): a Codex Stop is the interrupt alone, so it no longer says "Cancellation was not confirmed" (#23850)
* fix(native-chat): a Codex Stop that ended its turn no longer reads "not confirmed"

Codex answers a turn's interrupt only as that turn ends, then sends the turn's
own end. Orca also required its sweep of the turn's processes to prove them
gone, and when that sweep could not read the process table it wrote
"Cancellation was not confirmed." a few milliseconds before the turn's
interrupted end arrived. A Stop that named its turn said "The provider had
already finished this turn." in the same case.

Codex's answer is now what confirms the Stop. The sweep still runs and still
holds the turn's end until it finishes, but its result is logged, not shown.
A Stop Codex never answers, which is a turn that never ends, still reads
"Cancellation was not confirmed."

* docs(codex): say why an interrupted turn's un-echoed send is withdrawn, for a steer and for a turn's own input

* fix(codex): a Codex Stop is the interrupt alone

A Codex Stop sent turn/interrupt and, alongside it, swept the turn's
processes: it compared a snapshot of the app-server's descendants taken at
each send and compaction against a fresh one and killed what was new, then
waited for those processes to exit. The turn's end was held back until the
sweep finished.

Codex already owns this. It kills a turn's one-shot commands on interrupt
and deliberately keeps unified-exec background terminals running across one,
so the sweep killed work Codex means to keep, read the process table on
every send, and delayed the interrupted end behind a kill-and-wait.

A Stop is now turn/interrupt only. Codex's answer confirms it and the turn's
end publishes the moment it arrives, through the same path as any other
notification. A long-running command started in that turn keeps running
until the thread ends, as it does in Codex itself.

Removed: the turn-process module and its integration test, the snapshot
taken at dispatch and compaction, the held turn/completed, the adapter
dependencies that injected both, and the prompt-claim re-check that only
covered the wait for the snapshot.

Brennan Benson 7f8ca49e3d fix(codex): start short-lived Codex app-servers on Windows without cmd.exe (#23830)
* fix(codex): start short-lived Codex app-servers on Windows without cmd.exe

Orca's short-lived Codex app-server launches (history index passes, the
state-DB recovery claimant, hook trust grants, and the rate-limit and model
catalog probes) wrapped npm's codex.cmd in `cmd.exe /d /c` before handing it
to spawnProcess. That hid the shim from spawnProcess's resolver, so every one
of these launches went through cmd.exe instead of straight to node.

Hand the bare CLI path to the spawn chokepoint like the chat session already
does. The rate-limit probe and the recovery claimant also move off direct
node:child_process imports, shrinking that allowlist by two.

* chore(codex): drop stale cmd.exe premises from the probe kill and CLI pairing comments

Short-lived Codex app-servers now reach spawnProcess as the bare shim, so the
direct child is node for a resolved npm shim and cmd.exe only as the fallback.

* test(child-process): delist the rate-limit probe from the hidden-console ratchet

The probe now spawns through spawnProcess, which always hides the console.

Brennan Benson 69b1e40c6b fix(codex): say a full Stop wait can overrun quit's eviction budget, and don't let its timer hold the process (#23859) 2026-09-29 17:25:12 -07:00
Neil fed1eca486 test: stop restating internal tuning constants, keep the ones that are contracts (#23950)
Removes ~74 assertions of the form `expect(SOME_CONSTANT).toBe(<literal>)` where
the literal is an internal tuning value — a timeout, retry count, debounce
interval, cache TTL, circuit-breaker window, Tailwind class string. Those cannot
fail for any reason a user would notice: they fail only when someone deliberately
changes the number, and then the test is simply updated. They are copies of the
declaration.

The same pattern is NOT junk when the exact value is observable outside this
process, so those were deliberately kept:
- terminal byte contracts: `\r`, `\x03` ETX, Kitty escapes, `\x1b[?1;2c`;
- wire and capability values: `agent.launch.v2`, protocol 3 / min-compatible 2,
  daemon per-feature boundary versions (a daemon survives app updates, so those
  pin what an old field daemon may be trusted with), relay header tokens;
- security invariants: the `127.0.0.1` bind default, an empty iframe `sandbox`;
- values external processes read: exit code 78 (EX_CONFIG) and exit code 3
  (systemd `RestartPreventExitStatus`), `ORCA_AGENT_SESSION_SPAWN_TOKEN`,
  `npx skills …` commands users paste, on-disk journal schema versions,
  the `orca_<hash>` filename prefix the fish sweeper matches;
- third-party names: expo-router's `unstable_settings` / `ErrorBoundary`,
  iOS Safari's 16px zoom threshold.

Where a case asserted a relation rather than a literal — `A < B`, a sum of parts,
a cap compared against a sibling budget — the relation stays and only the literal
went.

Test-only changes: no production file is touched and no test file is deleted.

Brennan Benson 59b746ff3c feat(native-chat): one structured-chat journal database per host, owned by one process (#23613)
* feat(native-chat): one structured-chat journal database per host, owned by one process

Every structured chat on a state directory now lives in one SQLite file,
agent-session-journal.db, opened once by the process holding
agent-session-journal.owner: an empty SQLite file whose held BEGIN EXCLUSIVE is a
kernel byte-range lock, refused while another process holds it and released when
the holder dies.

- Stores own no connection: the per-chat handle, its close contract and the
  close-retry registry are gone; closing a conversation drains its writes, and the
  one connection closes last at teardown.
- The owner lock is taken at runtime start, before orca-runtime.json is written;
  a process that does not own the chats is not published and refuses every
  structured request with journalUnavailable and words that say what to do. It
  retries the lock with backoff and runs the full install once it holds it.
- A journal that will not open fails the host install: every chat says "Unable
  to load this chat." (journalCorrupt), and nothing is renamed, deleted or
  rebuilt. A newer build's database is refused and left byte-identical.
- An append is one INSERT. The listing status is a column, written after the
  rows it describes and keyed by (epoch, sequence).
- A per-chat journal from an earlier build is copied in verbatim (epoch UUID and
  every sequence) on that chat's first open, and its directory is retired only
  after the copy commits.
- auto_vacuum = INCREMENTAL, with freed pages handed back in bounded steps after
  every delete.

* perf(native-chat): key journal rows by block so one chat's rows sit together

Each chat's live epoch owns a block of row ids, block * 2^32 + seq, so a chat's
rows share leaf pages with nobody else's, a replay is one range scan, and
replacing or rewinding a chat deletes one contiguous range. Measured on the
largest real chat (61 MB) beside 19 interleaved peers: 39 ms and 7.5 MB of WAL,
against 214 ms and 102 MB for a (session_id, epoch, seq) key.

- Ids are computed in Number arithmetic, never bitwise. A sequence is refused
  outside [1, 2^32) and a block at 2^21, which keeps every id below 2^53.
- A replace, roll or import allocates a fresh block, moves the chat's pointer,
  and deletes the old block in the same transaction, so no orphan block exists.
- The listing status write moves into its own writer beside the column.

* feat(native-chat): copy a chat's per-chat journal again when an older Orca wrote it after a downgrade

A per-chat journal.db that reappears after its chat was copied in is the newer
history: an older build, run after a downgrade, attached the chat and wrote it.

- journal_imports records the (epoch, tip) each chat was copied from, in the
  copy's own transaction. A file already copied is never copied again, across
  any number of restarts after a failed rename; a file that differs always is.
- Newest writer wins, per chat, with a row saying the chat was continued in an
  older version of Orca. When both builds wrote past the recorded tip under one
  epoch, the copy takes a fresh epoch, so readers reset instead of skipping rows.
- Each copied directory retires to its own .imported-<epoch8>-<ms> name, so a
  second downgrade and re-upgrade never collides with the first.

* test(native-chat): fixture deps match the host journal database shape

Attach-flow and reconcile-attach fixtures stop passing a journal database those inputs do not take, and host and restore fixtures pass the one they now require instead of the removed journal root.

* test(native-chat): state why the runtime-state fixtures' existing casts are safe

* fix(native-chat): start up normally when this process cannot open the chat journal

A process refused the chat journal, because another Orca owns it or because its own journal will not open, failed startup restoration: the window booted in degraded no-save mode and a paired phone could not list any tabs. Startup restoration now treats the refusal structured requests are getting as having no structured host; terminals, tabs and saving go on, structured requests are still refused by the gate, and the install is retried on the next one. Any other install error fails startup as before.

* test(native-chat): name the owner-lock sweep test after the two sweeps it runs

* fix(native-chat): session history and terminal resume work while chats are refused

Session history (listing and preparing a resume) and a terminal typing a resume command only check whether a structured chat owns a provider session. In a process refused the chat journal they failed outright. They now take the refusal chats are getting as having no structured host, the same treatment startup restoration gets, through one shared helper; any other install failure still fails them. Chat requests keep the gate's refusal.

* test(native-chat): the first-work rename's fake journal saves the listing status

* fix(native-chat): open a chat whose per-chat journal file never got its schema

A crash between creating a chat's journal.db and creating its tables left an empty or schema-less file. Each chat used to open that file as an empty chat; the importer instead refused the open as "try again" forever. A file with no journal_sessions table is now read as never written, the same as one with no rows. A file that is not a database, or whose read fails, is still refused.

* fix(native-chat): let the event loop run between chats during startup restore

Opening a chat's journal is synchronous SQLite now that no per-chat directory
is created first, so the restore of every visible chat ran as one main-thread
task. Each chat now waits for a macrotask before it opens.

* fix(native-chat): import a per-chat journal in bounded batches

The one-time copy of an earlier build's per-chat journal ran as one
transaction, which blocked the main thread for 650 ms on the largest chat.
Rows now copy 512 at a time, each batch its own transaction, yielding to the
event loop between batches. The rows go into a block journal_import_blocks
reserves, which no reader follows and no other chat is allocated; the last
batch publishes the chat's pointer, repair marker and import marker together
and releases the reservation. A copy that stops midway leaves only that
block, which the next open clears and copies again. Two opens of one chat
import one after the other.

* fix(native-chat): refuse chats when the owner lock file cannot be opened

A lock file that is not a database, or cannot be opened, made the claim throw
before any refusal was recorded, so startup restoration failed on every
launch. The claim now sits in the same try as the database open and records
the same typed refusal.

* fix(native-chat): finish reclaiming pages a delete frees during a running pass

A reclaim pass ended as soon as the freelist stopped shrinking between steps,
so a second delete that freed more than one step's worth mid-pass ended it
early and left those pages on the freelist. A pass now ends only when a step
itself frees nothing, or the freelist is empty.

* test(native-chat): desktop session history is served while chats are refused

* fix(native-chat): a send to a chat holding a newer Orca's rows says to update

A chat opened read-only because a newer Orca wrote rows to it answered a send
with the generic write failure. It now refuses the way a database a newer Orca
wrote does, with the same reason and words.

* fix(native-chat): keep chat tabs while this process cannot list its chats

A process whose chats another Orca owns, or whose chat journal will not
open, has no structured host. Its session-tabs inventory still answered,
with no chat rows, and the renderer read that as "every chat was closed":
it removed the restored chat tabs and the next session save persisted
their placement away.

The inventory now says `agentSessionsUnverifiable` when the last tab
restore ran with chats on disk but no host to list them. The flag is set
and cleared at the per-client projection point beside the client-hosted
page hold, and the restore is memoised only once a host answered, so a
later lock takeover or journal open republishes the chats and clears it.
The renderer keeps agent-session tabs, and keeps cancellation tombstones,
against an inventory that does not affirm its chat set.

* fix(native-chat): say chats are open in another Orca, with this process's way past it

A process refused because another Orca owns the profile's chats sent the
generic `journalUnavailable` reason, so current desktop and phone surfaces
said "couldn't open this chat's history right now. Try again." — a step
that never helps while the other Orca runs.

The refusal now names its own reason, `journalOwnedElsewhere`, with the
refused process's kind (dev desktop, packaged, orcad) as a fact. Each kind
gets its own step: quit the other Orca, or give this one its own profile
(ORCA_DEV_USER_DATA_PATH) or data folder (ORCA_USER_DATA). The sentences
are added to the shared notice copy, the desktop catalogs in all six
locales, and the boot catalog.

A client that predates the reason reads it as none and keeps the code's
words; an unknown kind reads as the packaged app's step. The `message`
released clients print is unchanged. Which requests refuse does not change.

* fix(native-chat): restore chats on taking ownership, without a list to ask

A refused startup kept its hostless result, so after the owner quit this
process never installed a host, never reconciled restart leases, and kept
telling clients it could not list its chats until a desktop chat request.
Taking the lock now reruns startup restoration once and pushes the chats.

* test(native-chat): a navigation reply says chats are unverifiable while refused

* fix(native-chat): retry a refused owner lock at most every 5 seconds

The lock frees as its holder exits, but a refused process only learns that
on its next retry, and the 30 s cap left a second Orca refusing chats for up
to half a minute after the owner quit. One retry is an open and BEGIN
EXCLUSIVE on an empty file.

* fix(native-chat): install before deciding whether a takeover must republish chats

A list that landed on the refused startup after the lock was taken finished
after the takeover had already checked, so nothing republished. The takeover
now installs first, waits for any restore in flight, and restores only then;
the restore that clears "cannot tell" pushes the frames itself, so a list
that heals the inventory first reaches subscribers too.

* fix(native-chat): no takeover lands a host after the runtime stop

Quitting cancelled a refused claim's retry only at its end, so a retry firing
during the stop's awaits took the lock and installed a host the stop never
tore down, and the lock was then released under an open journal. The stop
now cancels the retry first, keeping the refusal, and repeats its teardown
while an install that began during it (a takeover already under way) is
pending, so no journal connection outlives the lock.

* fix(native-chat): show a thrown refusal in its own words, not its code

A refusal the host throws reaches the client as an RPC error whose message is
the bare code; its reason and facts ride only in the error's data, which no
client read. The chat pane's status line therefore printed
agent_session_journal_unreadable, a send took the bare "not sent" path, and
other writes said the outcome was unconfirmed.

One shared reader, agentSessionThrownRefusal, now reads the refusal from the
error data. A failed history read shows the refusal's read-history words, a
send keeps the refusal behind its Retry exactly as a returned refusal does, and
the other writes (desktop and phone) name the refusal instead of doubting the
outcome. The phone's read failure goes through the same reader.

* fix(native-chat): log a failed journal open once per distinct failure

Every chat request retries a journal open that failed, which is intended, but
each retry also logged the failure with its full stack: a junk database file
logged the same "file is not a database" error 189 times in a minute. The open
now logs a failure only when its code and message differ from the last one
logged, and forgets it once an open succeeds. The retry is unchanged.

The open moves to its own module beside the runtime, which had no room left.

* fix(native-chat): restore lists a chat from its per-chat file and copies it on first use

Startup restore opened every restored chat, and that open copied the chat's
per-chat file into the host database, so the first boot after an upgrade paid
the whole one-time copy before the chat list appeared.

A restore open now reads a chat that is still in its per-chat file straight
from that file, read-only, with the importer's own reader, and closes the file
before moving on. That read drives the listing, the status row and the
restart offer, as it did when every chat had its own file. The copy becomes
owed work on the chat's write queue: it runs before the chat's first write,
and a reader that reaches the chat awaits it. A chat the host already holds,
or that was copied before, still opens through the import and its reimport
rules, and so does a file whose read needs a repair written.

* fix(native-chat): no host stays registered after a stop an install spanned

Each teardown pass clears the registered host before it awaits an install in
flight, and that install registers its host when it finishes. The pass then
tore the host down but left it registered, so a request after the stop was
served by a host whose journal was closed. The stop now clears the slot once
its passes are done.

* fix(native-chat): checkpoint the journal with a full flush on macOS

synchronous = FULL fsyncs each commit, but macOS fsync leaves the drive cache
unflushed, so FULL alone does not survive a power loss there. With
checkpoint_fullfsync, each checkpoint uses F_FULLFSYNC; elsewhere it is a no-op.
The comment that said FULL alone was enough is corrected.

* fix(native-chat): delete a per-chat journal once its copy verifies

An imported chat's per-chat file was kept under an `.imported-*` name, which
doubled the disk its history takes. The copy now reads back from the host
database before it is published: its items, submissions, epoch and tip must
match the file's. Only then does one transaction publish the chat with its
import marker, and the file and its WAL files are deleted, the directory too
when nothing else is in it (a pre-SQLite transcript there is kept).

A copy that does not match is never published: the file stays, the chat is
refused as unreadable ("Unable to load this chat."), and the mismatch is logged
once. A file left behind by a failed delete or a crash matches the marker, so
the next open deletes it rather than copying it again; a file an older build
wrote after a downgrade still differs, and is still copied again.

* fix(native-chat): verify an imported chat a batch at a time

The check that a copied chat reads back as its per-chat file folded both whole,
each in one synchronous task: over half a second on the largest chat. Both
reads now go a batch at a time between turns of the event loop, like the copy
itself, and count rows as well, so a copy that lost a row with no item in it
is caught too.

* fix(native-chat): restore reads a chat's per-chat file a batch at a time

Restore folded a chat still in its per-chat file in one task, so the largest
chat's file held the main thread for about half a second at startup. The fold
now takes the file a batch of rows per turn of the event loop, into the same
fold a replay uses, and nothing reads it before it is done. The file is still
closed before restore moves on.

* fix(native-chat): end a per-chat copy on a turn of its own

A chat's first open ran the copy's last steps (the verified publish and the
per-chat file delete) and the replay of what was copied in one task. The copy
now yields before it returns, so the replay, which every open runs, is a task
of its own.

* fix(native-chat): commit a per-chat copy's batches without an fsync each

Each 512-row batch of a chat's first-use copy committed under synchronous =
FULL, so a large chat paid one fsync per batch, about a quarter of its first
open. The batches now commit under NORMAL, set and restored in the batch's own
task so no other chat's commit runs under it. The publish that makes the copy
visible still commits under FULL, and under WAL that sync makes every earlier
batch durable with it. A crash before it leaves only the unpublished block,
which the next open clears and copies again.

* fix(native-chat): roll back a chat journal transaction whose COMMIT fails

The shared connection's transaction rolled back only when its body threw. A
COMMIT that failed left the transaction open, so every later write, for any
chat, failed with "cannot start a transaction within a transaction", and reads
saw rows that never committed. Under the unsynced copy the failure also tried
to restore the sync level inside the open transaction, which SQLite refuses,
so the caller got that error instead of the COMMIT's.

One transaction helper now covers the body and the COMMIT, rolls back whatever
transaction survives, and rethrows the original error. Schema creation uses it
too. If that ROLLBACK fails as well, the connection is marked stranded: each
later use retries the ROLLBACK, and until one goes through every chat gets the
same "history unavailable, try again" refusal a journal that will not open
gives. The rollback that frees it also restores the FULL sync level.

* fix(native-chat): keep the chat journal connection until its close succeeds

Closing the journal dropped its connection handle before closing it. A close
that failed left the database reporting itself closed with the connection still
open, so the stop that retried the teardown found nothing to close and released
the owner lock over a live connection.

The handle is now dropped only once the close succeeds. A failed close keeps
the runtime pending and the lock held, and the next stop closes that same
connection before it releases the lock.

* fix(native-chat): publish the runtime only once it holds the chat journal lock

When this process could not open the owner lock file at all (a permission
error, or a file that is not a database), the runtime counted that as owning
the chats and wrote orca-runtime.json. That overwrote the real owner's entry,
so the CLI was sent to a process that cannot serve its chats.

A claim that throws is now refused like one another process holds: the runtime
starts but does not publish, the claim's existing retry keeps asking for the
lock, and discovery publishes once the retry takes it. Chats still get the
refusal for the failure itself, and startup restoration reruns on the takeover
the same way it does after another owner quits. A sole process whose lock file
never opens is not found by the CLI until it does.

* fix(native-chat): keep a chat's history when an older build started it over

The first copy deletes a chat's per-chat file, so an older build run after a
downgrade finds no file and starts the chat from nothing. On the re-upgrade that
fresh file was copied in as the newer history, replacing everything the shared
database held for the chat, and then deleted.

A file whose epoch is not the one last copied and that opens with
`session_created` is now kept: neither copied nor deleted, and the chat keeps
the history it has. A file that carried the copied epoch on is still copied
again, as before.

* test(native-chat): pin which chats startup restore copies

Restore copies a chat still in its per-chat file only when restore itself has
to write to it: settling what the last run left open, here a running tool call
or a send handed over and never answered. Every other restored chat stays in
its file until its first use.

* test(native-chat): pin the copy wait on a read that opens a chat restore opened

A read queued behind restore's open of the same chat reaches the conversation
through its own open rather than the listing. It must still wait for the
owed copy, or it reads the chat before its history is in the one database.

* fix(native-chat): record a set-aside per-chat file so no later open reads it

Setting aside a file an older build started over is decided once and kept in
the new `journal_set_aside` table (schema 2, additive), with the file's epoch
and tip as they were. Every later open of the chat skips the file without
opening it, across restarts and after the older build writes more to it:
anything written there grows from that build's own start, never from this
build's history.

The best-effort delete moves beside the per-chat file reader.

* fix(native-chat): set aside any per-chat file at an epoch this build never copied

A chat's per-chat file is deleted once its copy verifies, so a file that
reappears at another epoch was never this build's history, whatever its first
row says: an older build started the chat over, possibly rewinding it after
(`handle_forked`), or rolled the epoch of a file whose delete had failed.
Copying any of them would replace everything the chat holds, so each is set
aside. Only a file still at the copied epoch is copied again (it grew) or
deleted (it did not). The first-row check is gone.

* fix(native-chat): copy a reappearing per-chat file again only while this build has not written past the copy

A per-chat file that an older build carried on under the copied epoch was
copied again even when this build had also written to the chat since the
copy, or had rolled its epoch. The second copy replaced the chat's block,
so what was sent in this build after the copy was gone for good.

Now the file is copied again only when the chat still stands exactly as it
was copied: the same epoch and tip the import marker recorded. Otherwise it
is set aside like any other file that is not this build's history, left on
disk untouched and recorded so no later open reads it. A second copy
therefore never replaces rows this build wrote, keeps the file's own epoch,
and the fresh-epoch rewrite goes away. The row it adds now says the history
includes what the older version recorded, not that anything was replaced.

* test(native-chat): pin that a chat founded here keeps its history, and the v1 schema upgrade

A chat this build founded has a pointer and no import marker, so a per-chat
file an older build later starts for it is set aside. Nothing pinned that
half of the rule: letting such a chat be copied again replaced its history
and every test still passed. A second test pins that a database written at
schema version 1 upgrades in place, gaining the set-aside table and keeping
its import markers.

* test(native-chat): drop a lost copied row by patching the source, not wrapping it

* chore(mobile): restore the mobile lockfile to main's

* fix(native-chat): pass a classified journal refusal through a send or Stop unchanged

* fix(native-chat): refuse a read whose owed copy fails as a failed open does

* test(native-chat): measure only the replace's WAL in the block-key case

Opening the chats starts a free-page pass that waits one event-loop turn,
and the seed never yields one, so that pass was still pending when the
replace committed. It woke during the async stat and reclaimed the pages
the replace freed, adding ~500 KB of WAL whenever the stat lost the race
(Linux CI). Drain that pass before measuring and stub the replace's own.

* test(native-chat): the RPC fixture's status journal can save its listing status

The status feed now hands every projection to the journal, which decides whether it is worth saving.

* test(native-chat): state why the RPC fixture's status journal cast is safe

* fix(native-chat): refuse a per-chat copy whose rows differ from the file, not only its counts

* fix(bench): build the replay benchmark's baseline arm from the base tree and release its handles on failure

* fix(native-chat): retry a failed listing status save on the next read of a cached status

* refactor(native-chat): drop the chat journal owner lock; the process instance lock already guards the profile

The journal carried its own exclusive lock, with a retry loop, an in-process
takeover, lock-gated runtime discovery and a "chats are open in another Orca"
refusal. Every shipped process kind (packaged desktop, serve mode, orcad)
already refuses a second instance on one profile before the journal opens, so
the lock only ever mattered for dev desktops, which the next commit covers at
the process level instead.

The host now opens its one journal connection at install with no lock. What a
sole process whose journal will not open needs stays: the install refusal
recorded for the gate, the no-host startup path, and the unverifiable chat
inventory, now in structured-agent-session-host-refusal.ts. The unreleased
journalOwnedElsewhere reason, its processKind fact and their copy are removed.

* fix(startup): dev desktops take the single-instance lock, and a second one says why it quit

Dev skipped Electron's single-instance lock so parallel `pnpm dev` runs from
several worktrees would not quit silently, but two dev processes on the
default orca-dev profile then write the same stores at once. Dev now takes
the lock like packaged builds: a second launch on the same profile focuses
the first window and exits with code 3, printing one stderr line that names
the taken profile and how to run another copy (ORCA_DEV_USER_DATA_PATH).

Serve mode, the macOS diagnostic bypass and the E2E harness are unchanged:
an E2E launch still skips the lock unless it sets
ORCA_E2E_ENFORCE_SINGLE_INSTANCE_LOCK=1.

* refactor(native-chat): key journal rows by chat, epoch and sequence

Rows in the host's journal database are now addressed by the chat's own
identity, with `(session_id, epoch, seq)` as the primary key, the same
shape each per-chat file already used. The block-keyed layout goes with
everything built on it: the block column and its allocator, the 2^21
block ceiling, and the import's reserved block table.

A first-use copy writes its rows under the file's epoch, which the chat's
pointer does not name until the verified copy publishes it, so no reader
sees a half-copied chat. A try that stopped midway leaves only rows no
pointer names, and the next try deletes them before it copies again.
Replace, rollover and repair delete by (chat, epoch).

This build's history always wins: once a chat was copied or founded here,
any per-chat file that reappears is set aside, and the same-epoch copy
again after a downgrade is removed.

The bounded free-page reclaim after every delete is dropped;
`auto_vacuum = INCREMENTAL` stays at file creation, so a later periodic
reclaim can still be added. Session search keeps its own step.

The schema moves to version 3. Versions 1 and 2 were written only by
unreleased builds of this change and are refused as found, not migrated.

* fix(native-chat): open a chat journal a newer Orca wrote read-only instead of refusing it

After a downgrade, the host's journal database carries a newer user_version. It was refused
outright, so every chat's history disappeared. It now opens on a read-only connection, as the
per-chat journals did: each chat shows what this build can read, from the database or a per-chat
file never copied in, and every write is refused with "Chats were saved by a newer Orca. Update
Orca to keep using them." Nothing is written, copied, repaired or founded, and the file stays
byte-identical. A table the newer schema changed reads as the same read-only refusal, not damage.

* refactor(native-chat): leave the saved listing status to the change that reads it

Nothing in this change reads the per-chat listing status column: it was a stored copy of a fact
the status feed derives, written after every turn end and cleared on every epoch change. The
status_json / status_seq columns, their writer, the saved-status type, the status feed's save and
its retry on a cached projection all go, with their tests. The change that lists chats from a
saved status adds the column back beside its reader.

* fix(native-chat): a chat saved by a newer Orca says to update Orca, not to try again

When a newer Orca wrote the chat journal, this build opens it read-only. A send or a Stop was
refused with the reason `journalUnavailable`, so today's desktop and phone clients chose the
words for an open that can clear: "Orca couldn't open this chat's history right now. Try again."
Retrying never cleared it; only updating Orca does.

The refusal now names its own reason, `journalWrittenByNewerOrca`, whose words are "Chats were
saved by a newer Orca. Update Orca to keep using them." A read refused the same way names it
too. An older client does not know the reason, drops it, and falls back to the code's words
("Orca couldn't read this chat's saved history."), and released clients still print the message.

* fix(native-chat): a chat journal from an unreleased build reads as unusable, not as retryable

A chat journal database stamped with schema 1 or 2 was written only by unreleased development
builds of this change. Opening it threw a plain error, which every chat reported as "Orca couldn't
open this chat's history right now. Try again." Retrying never cleared it.

It now throws a named error that is classified as unusable, so every chat says "Unable to load
this chat." The one log line names the file, says an unreleased development build wrote it, and
says to move it aside. Nothing migrates or renames it.

* docs(native-chat): drop the second-Orca-owns-the-chats case from three comments

The chat-only owner lock is gone, so only a chat journal that will not open leaves a runtime
unable to list its chats.

* docs(native-chat): correct three chat-journal comments the redesign left behind

A per-chat file left without its WAL is set aside, not copied again; nothing runs an incremental
vacuum yet, so the auto_vacuum mode is kept for a later pass; and the idle sweep drops a chat's
in-memory fold, since a chat holds no journal connection.

* refactor(native-chat): stop exporting chat-journal names nothing imports

Each is used only inside its own module now; the teardown's export served a deleted test.

* test(native-chat): name the version-0 test for what it covers, and check every journal table

The test named 'migrates an older user_version forward' covers only a version-0 file that already
has its tables; versions 1 and 2 are refused. The table test now also checks journal_imports and
journal_set_aside.

* fix(startup): a second dev launch's exit line no longer claims it focused a window

The running dev instance may be a background launch or a server, which show no window. The line
now says only that this launch passed its request to that instance.

* fix(native-chat): a failed structured-chat install closes the journal connection it opened

The install opened the chat journal database and closed it only if the record store then failed
to open. A later failure, such as the model catalog wiring or the host constructor, left the
connection open, and the next install opened a second one in the same process. Every failure
after the open now closes it.

Brennan Benson 21d4ae9448 feat(agents): pre-trust the folder wherever Orca starts an agent (#23744)
* feat(claude): pre-trust worktrees Orca creates

Claude Code asks "Do you trust this folder?" on first launch in any folder it
has not seen, which blocks unattended launches in worktrees Orca itself made.
Orca now records where a worktree's content came from when it creates it, and
before each Claude launch writes Claude's own folder-trust entry for that
worktree's root (never the main checkout) when the new setting is on and the
content is the user's repository. Forks, bare commits, folder workspaces and
external checkouts keep Claude's prompt. The write takes Claude's lock, never
creates or breaks the file, runs on the SSH host itself, and is revoked when
the worktree is removed or the setting is turned off.

Launches that already pass --dangerously-skip-permissions also skip the trust
prompt for that one process only, via CLAUDE_CODE_SANDBOXED=1 on the command.

* fix(claude): parse the relay trust request with a schema and ship its search keys

* fix(claude): never write a WSL guest's trust into the Windows config

A WSL worktree's Claude reads the guest's own config. Two paths still wrote
its trust into the Windows host's ~/.claude.json instead: the Claude auth prep's
fallback (runtime 'wsl' but the host config dir, when the WSL home cannot be
resolved), which wrote a Linux-path key the removal revoke can never delete;
and the Agent Teams leader, which passes no auth or distro and wrote a UNC key.
Require the guest's own config dir, and treat any WSL worktree path as guest-only.

* revert(claude): drop the skip-permissions trust shortcut

Pre-trust stays limited to worktrees Orca creates from the user's own
repository. The per-launch CLAUDE_CODE_SANDBOXED prefix skipped Claude's
trust question in every folder for launches carrying the skip-permissions
flag (Orca's default Claude args), including the user's own folders and fork
PR worktrees, and the setting could not turn it off. Remove the prefix, the
inherited-variable strip that existed only for it, and the Agent Teams
leader-to-teammate propagation; restore the tests that pinned the prefixed
launch string.

* fix(claude): revoke SSH trust in the config file the grant used

At spawn the relay resolves Claude's config from the launch env, which carries
a CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR set in Orca's Claude default env. claudeTrust.converge had
only the relay's own process env, so removing the worktree or turning the
setting off revoked in the default file and the grant outlived the worktree.
Send the config-file keys with the request, as the local revoke already uses.

* i18n(settings): translate the Claude worktree trust setting

* fix(settings): say Claude trust applies when Orca starts Claude

The description said Claude skips its trust prompt in any worktree Orca
created. Trust is written only when Orca itself starts Claude there, so a
`claude` typed by hand in a fresh worktree still asks. Say that, and bring
the es/fr/ja/ko/zh translations in line with the new text.

* fix(worktrees): treat a base on an Orca-added fork remote as fork content

A worktree based on a named ref was always stamped as the repository's own
content, so picking the fork remote Orca adds for a pull request (or a local
branch tracking it) as the base made a fork's code eligible for Claude trust.
At create time, read the repo's `remote.<name>.orca-created` markers and each
branch's tracked remote in one `git config` call; a base on such a remote is
stamped as a fork's content, and a read failure is not vouched for. Remotes
the user added, such as `upstream`, stay first-party.

* perf(claude): revoke worktree trust once per config file, not per worktree

Turning "Trust worktrees Orca creates for Claude" off read and parsed the
whole Claude config once per Orca worktree on the main process. Group the
revocations by config file locally and by SSH connection, and make
claudeTrust.converge take a batch of requests.

* feat(settings): one agent-wide "trust the folder" setting in Settings > Agents

Replace the Claude-only worktree trust toggle with a single setting,
agentWorkspaceTrustEnabled (on by default; unreleased, so no migration).
The row says what it does for every agent: agents Orca starts skip their
"trust this folder?" prompt in that worktree or folder, turning it off
stops new trust while existing trust stays, and while it is off unattended
launches (orchestration workers, automations, the phone) stop at the
agent's trust question until someone answers.

Translations for es/fr/ja/ko/zh. Also restores the `awaitingUnnamed` chat
catalog keys an earlier merge of main dropped from this branch.

* feat(agent-trust): pre-trust the workspace for every preset agent at PTY spawn

Every Orca-started agent PTY passes through one of the two spawn builders
with its declared launchAgent, which survives setup-script wrapping. The
builders now call one hook that, for a fresh launch (never a reattach or
restored pane) with the setting on, applies the agent's trust preset to
the worktree, folder workspace or main checkout it starts in.

- One dispatcher, applyAgentWorkspaceTrust(preset, workspacePath, launch
  context), carries what a writer needs: the final spawn env, the Claude
  managed-account auth prep, the WSL distro and the SSH connection.
- Claude joins the presets on both the claude and claude-agent-teams
  entries. Its writer stays grant-only in claude-folder-trust-file.ts:
  the file Claude reads (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR / custom-OAuth suffix / legacy
  .config.json / a WSL guest's own file), Claude's <file>.lock never
  broken and taken only when a write is due, atomic temp+rename keeping
  mode and symlinks, never creating the file, NFC + realpath keys.
- SSH Claude launches forward the optional claudeFolderTrust spawn field
  so the relay grants with its own spawn env; old relays ignore it and
  Claude asks. Other presets keep the SFTP writer. A WSL launch never
  writes the Windows home: non-Claude presets skip it, Claude writes the
  guest's file or nothing.
- Codex keeps the 20 s deadline its shared config lane needs; every other
  preset gets 1.5 s. A miss means the agent asks; trust bookkeeping never
  fails or blocks a launch.

Removes the Claude-only machinery this replaces: the eligibility/host/
lifecycle/spawn modules, the persisted creation content-origin field and
its classification, revoke-on-removal, the setting-off sweep, the
claudeTrust.converge relay method and the Agent Teams leader special case
(the leader pane now spawns through the hook with the claude preset).
The agent config types move to tui-agent-config-types.ts so the config
table stays under the line budget.

* refactor(agent-trust): delete the pre-spawn trust writes the spawn hook replaces

The spawn hook is now the only owner of agent folder trust, so remove
every other writer:

- the agentTrust:markTrusted IPC channel, its preload bridge and types,
  and all renderer callers (agent-trust-preflight and its callers in the
  background session, work-item direct launch, session continuation,
  worktree creation, folder workspace composer and session fork);
- the main pre-spawn sites: the createdWithAgent preflight in
  worktree-remote.ts, markLocalWorktreeTrusted/markRemoteWorktreeTrusted
  and the runtime's markWorkspaceTrustedForAgent family with the
  markTrusted ports of the runtime create flows;
- Codex's own launch-prep and resume-prep trust writes.

Each of those launches reaches a spawn builder with launchAgent set, so
the hook covers it. This also fixes a live gap: the worktree-remote.ts
copy of the preset switch omitted Antigravity, so an agy agent started
from a desktop worktree create still asked; the single dispatcher covers
it. Trust is also written on the host the PTY actually spawns on, which
removes the #11163 class of writing the wrong host's config.

* test(agent-trust): type the spawn-builder trust fixtures and prove the spawn waits for trust

The builder test passed untyped args (a string launchAgent) and cast its deps,
which failed tc:node. It now builds both spawn states from a fully typed deps
fixture and a typed restored pane, with no casts.

Adds a case that holds the trust write pending and checks the builder does not
finish until it settles, the ordering the deleted renderer and launch-prep
tests used to cover.

* fix(agent-trust): give SSH trust writes the 20 s deadline again

The dispatcher gave every non-Codex preset a 1.5 s budget, including the SSH
writers for Cursor, Copilot and Qoder, which make several round trips over the
link. Before this PR those writes had 20 s (desktop) or no limit (runtime), so
on a slow link an unattended SSH worker would now stop at the agent's trust
question. SSH writes get the 20 s deadline back; local non-Codex writers keep
the short budget, and Codex keeps 20 s.

The relay's Claude grant keeps the short budget: it writes the relay host's own
disk and does not cross the link.

* fix(agent-trust): never pre-trust a home folder or a filesystem root

A folder workspace can be the user's home folder or a disk root. Claude and
Copilot let a trusted folder cover every folder under it, so pre-trusting one
of those would silently trust everything on the machine for those agents.

One check, isHomeOrFilesystemRoot, now refuses them for every preset: the
dispatcher checks roots and this machine's homes (including the spawn env's
HOME and a cached WSL guest home), the SSH writer checks the remote home it
already resolves, and the relay checks its own home. The agent then asks, as
it would without Orca.

* refactor(agent-trust): drop the Codex launch plumbing that only carried trust

The spawn hook replaced the trust writes in Codex launch prep and resume prep,
which left the fields that fed them unread: CodexHomeLaunchContext.workspacePath
and .launchAgent, the resume prep's workspacePath, and the structured Codex
launch input's workspacePath (plus the extra target lookup that produced it).
Remove them and their plumbing; unavailableManagedHomePath stays.

Also removes test stubs of runtime trust methods this PR deleted, whose
not-called assertions could no longer fail, and two comments that still
described the old trust preflight.

* chore(reliability-gates): point the trust gate at the spawn-time trust tests

The agent-session trust gate still listed three test files this PR deleted
(the renderer preflight, the Codex launch-prep deadline and the e2e trust
completion suites), so check:reliability-gates, which runs in PR CI and in
pnpm lint, failed on missing files. Its invariant also described the deleted
IPC handler and pre-spawn writers.

The gate now covers what replaced them: the spawn builders holding the spawn
until trust settles, the fresh-launch and setting gates, the per-preset
deadlines, and the home and root refusal.

* fix(agent-trust): skip the relay Claude grant for a WSL shell

On a Windows SSH host whose pane shell is wsl.exe, Claude runs inside the WSL
guest and reads the guest's config. The relay still granted trust in the
Windows host's own .claude.json, writing the Windows home for a WSL launch,
which the local path never does. The relay now skips the grant there, so that
Claude asks, as a local WSL launch does when Orca cannot reach the guest file.

* perf(agent-trust): only agent launches wait on the trust hook

Both spawn builders awaited the trust hook on every spawn, including plain
shells, reattaches and agents without a preset. Awaiting even a resolved
promise adds microtask ticks ahead of the pane-spawn reservation check, and
this handler already keeps non-Codex spawns off an await because an extra tick
reorders those reservation races.

The hook now returns null when there is nothing to write, and the builders
await only a real trust write.

* test(agent-trust): keep the home and root cases off any real Claude config

The home and root cases ran the real Claude writer with the test process's
env, so a regression in the guard would have written trust for the home
folder and / into whatever Claude config that env named. They now point
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR at a folder that does not exist, and the writer never
creates a config.

* test(runtime): drop needless casts from the launch-host test

The renamed launch-host test kept three `as never` casts on launch options
that already match launchAgentTerminal's parameter type. The changed-lines
casting gate reads the renamed file as new and failed on them.

* test(agent-trust): type the Claude grant mock with the real writer's signature

The mock took an unknown target, so installing the real writer as its
implementation would not typecheck under strict function types.

* fix(codex): drop the launch context the trust move left unread in local spawn env

* fix(agent-trust): queue Claude grants per config file so a launch burst keeps them all

Concurrent grants in one process retried Claude's file lock in lockstep, so each
retry round admitted about one winner. Starting 12 Claude agents at once left 6
of them at the trust question with nothing logged. Grants for one config file now
queue in-process; only Claude's own writes contend for the lock. The relay shares
the writer, so bursts of SSH launches are covered too.

* fix(agent-trust): never pre-trust a folder above a home either

The guard refused only an exact home or a filesystem root. A folder workspace at
/Users, /home or C:\Users was still pre-trusted, and Claude walks up parent folders
for a non-git folder, so every non-git folder in the user's home became trusted.
The guard now also refuses any folder that contains a home, on every host, and is
renamed to say what it decides.

* perf(agent-trust): skip the SSH round trips for Antigravity, which has no remote writer

Every Antigravity launch over SSH now reaches the remote trust writer, which
resolved the remote home and realpath'd the workspace over the link before
writing nothing (the known remote gap). That delayed each launch by two SSH round
trips, and up to the 20 s deadline on a stalled link. It now returns first.

* fix(settings): keep the hidden folder trust row out of web-client settings search

The paired web client hides the host-only "Trust the folder" row, but settings
search still listed it, so searching "trust" opened the Agents pane with no
matching row. Its search entry is now filtered the same way as Agent Awake.

* fix(agent-trust): a failing breadth guard skips trust instead of failing the spawn

* docs(qoder): New Tab now pre-trusts through the agent-wide spawn hook

* fix(agent-trust): never pre-trust a home reached through a symlink

Every trust writer stores the workspace's resolved path, but the breadth
guard compared only the path as given. A folder workspace that is a
symlink to the home folder (or a real home picked while HOME names a
symlinked one, as on distros that link /home to /var/home) passed the
guard, and Claude, Copilot and Cursor then trusted the home itself.

The local dispatcher and the relay now compare given and resolved forms
of both the workspace and each home. The SSH writer resolves the remote
home alongside the workspace, in parallel, so it adds no round trip.
Local non-Claude WSL launches still skip before any filesystem call.

* fix(relay): a failing breadth guard skips Claude trust instead of failing the SSH spawn

The relay ran its home/root guard and homedir() before its catch, so a
throw there rejected the relay's terminal spawn. Same fix as the main
dispatcher's: the whole grant, guard included, is best-effort.

* fix(agent-trust): guard the path each writer stores, not the path Orca was asked to trust

The breadth guard checked the launch's workspace while each writer stored a
transformed path, so every new transformation opened a hole. Codex stores a
linked worktree's main checkout: with a git repo rooted at the home, a Codex
launch in one of its worktrees wrote trust for the whole home.

One relay-safe host module now computes the stored path (Codex's main-checkout
hop, then given and resolved forms of it and of each home), refuses a root, a
home or a folder above one, and only then writes. Main uses it for local and
WSL launches and the relay for Claude. An unknown home writes nothing, and the
WSL home cache is keyed case-insensitively by distro.

* fix(ssh): the relay writes every preset's trust on the SSH host itself

Codex, Cursor, Copilot and Qoder trust over SSH was written from the desktop
over SFTP: four or five round trips per launch, so it needed a 20 s deadline
that outlasted the 8 s draft paste, the 10 s phone wait and the 15 s web-client
create. It also skipped Claude's atomic rename, ignored CODEX_HOME, and stored
the worktree where local Codex stores the main checkout.

The unreleased `claudeFolderTrust` spawn field becomes `agentWorkspaceTrust`,
sent for every preset. The relay derives the preset from the `launchAgent` it
already receives and runs the same host writer main uses, on its own disk,
within 1.5 s and with no extra round trip. Antigravity still returns early on
the relay (its writer is unverified on SSH hosts), a WSL shell still skips,
and any throw means the agent asks.

Deleted: the SFTP preset writer, the remote Qoder writer, the SSH deadline
clause and the desktop-side SSH root pre-check.

* test(e2e): keep CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR out of isolated Electron launches

The spawn hook now writes Claude folder trust into the config
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR names, so an e2e run started from a shell that sets it
could add trust entries to the developer's real Claude config. Also drops
a stale comment that still named Codex launch prep as the trust owner.

* fix(agent-trust): guard Claude's resolve() form of the workspace too

Claude's writer stores both resolve(path) and the realpath. The breadth
guard compared only the given path and its realpath, so a workspace
path that does not exist and climbs back with `..` (for example
<home>/missing/..) passed the guard while Claude stored a key for the
home itself. The guard now also compares resolve(path), so it sees
every form a writer stores.

* test(relay): pty.spawn writes agent trust before the agent's process starts

Nothing exercised the relay handler's call into the trust writer, so
removing that call, or no longer awaiting it, left every suite green
while SSH launches silently stopped pre-trusting. The new case holds the
trust call pending and checks the spawn waits for it, and that the call
gets the request, the declared agent and the final spawn env.

The reliability gate lists the new suite and records the resolve() form
the breadth guard now compares.

* fix(agent-trust): refuse a home only for agents that inherit trust from it

The home and root refusal applied to every preset, so Codex, Cursor and
Antigravity started asking in a home folder workspace, where they did not
before. Only Claude, Copilot and Qoder let trust on a folder cover the
folders below it; Codex matches its start folder or that folder's repo
root, Antigravity the exact folder, and Cursor itself never inherits from
a home, a folder above one or a shallow path. The refusal now reads a
per-preset table in the host module, so the local and relay writers share
the rule.

* fix(agent-trust): trust Codex at the folder it starts in, as before

Before this PR, Codex launch prep trusted the spawn's start folder. The
spawn hook trusted only the workspace root and skipped terminals with no
workspace, so Codex began asking in a floating terminal and in a subfolder
of a non-git folder workspace: its lookup checks the start folder, then
that folder's repo root, and a plain folder above it is neither. The hook
now passes the resolved start folder for presets marked as keyed by it
(Codex only), falling back to the workspace root.

* fix(agent-trust): pre-trust a structured Codex chat's folder, as before

Before this PR, creating a structured (native) Codex chat pre-wrote Codex
trust for its folder through launch preparation. The PR removed that write
and routed trust through the PTY spawn builders, which a structured chat
never passes. Codex's app-server trusts the folder itself only when the
chat's permissions can write it, so a read-only chat started running
untrusted and ignored the project's .codex config. Creating the chat now
calls the same dispatcher, behind the same setting, before launch prep.

Neil 70475e0228 test: stop testing private internals through exports no caller needs (#23829)
Third audit wave. The detector looked for production modules exporting three
or more symbols that no production file imports — only tests do. That shape is
the authoring gate's fourth question failing: a test needing a production seam
no caller needs belongs at the real boundary instead.

Most hits were detector false positives and were left alone; the scanner misses
re-export barrels and dynamic imports, so every module was re-verified with rg
before any edit. Where a private predicate's behavior was already covered
through the module's real entry point, the duplicate cases are gone and the
symbol is module-private again. Where it was NOT covered anywhere else, the test
stays — this audit removes tests, it does not author replacements.

Production code deleted where tests were its only callers: the superseded
`filesystem-directory-listing-limit` module, the unused
`format{Hourly,Daily,Adhoc}Version` helpers and their orphaned prerelease
identifiers, the dead `filterByAutomationListSearch*` family superseded by
`matchAutomationListSearchRowKeys`, and the dead
`getAiVaultResumeWorktreeTargetStatus` copy of the live workspace branch.

Also drops two call-shape source greps in `relay-sweep-schedule.test.ts` that
asserted `index.ts` spells `jitteredSweepIntervalMs(30_000)`; the jitter math
has a behavioral owner at the top of the same file. The structural census that
counts role-gated vs total `setInterval(` calls stays — an ungated sweep runs in
every cell, and nothing else can catch that.

Brennan BensonandClaude 134a22077d fix(native-chat): an unfinished /clear or refused Codex rewind no longer locks the chat (#23524)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): the conversation outlives its agent

Opening a chat no longer starts its agent. A conversation is reached through one host
accessor that opens its journal at rest, and a send is what starts the agent, through
the delivery loop. One idle sweep, every five minutes, stops an agent that has been
quiet for thirty minutes and owes no work, then drops an open journal handle that is
only a cache. Its record, tab, status row and readers stay.

- hold and release are no-ops; hold still builds the host for shipped mobile builds.
- The holders, the holds, the release clock and the exit respawn are deleted.
- Options, the model list, the goal and the context meter answer at rest; a model pick
  at rest is recorded as intent for the next start.
- Compact, rewind, clear and goal changes start the agent first. A send does too when
  a rewind is still in doubt after the conversation opens.
- Orchestration routes mail and group addresses on ownership (the record plus the chat
  tab), not on whether the process runs. An open dispatch keeps its worker running.
- The restart continuation is a send; Resume all holds each slot until the message is
  handed over or rejected.
- A read error never replaces a loaded transcript, and shows the host's own words.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer ends when the chat's agent starts again

The offer used to end only when the chat's newest user message changed,
because opening a chat started its agent and that start could not be told
apart from real activity. Opening a chat starts nothing now, so the host
reads the fact it already publishes: a chat's status row goes from not
host-owned to host-owned exactly when its agent is started. At that edge the
offer and any failure record for the chat are withdrawn, unless the start is
a resume action's own (its continuation is the oldest undelivered message).

A continuation and a message racing to be first are decided at acceptance:
the continuation is refused, quietly and with nothing filed, when any other
message was accepted since the restart. A failed continuation start leaves
the offer retryable, and each resume action sends its own message id.

Deleted: the newest-user-message comparison, its journal reader, the
continuation filter, and the failure ledger's own "answered by the chat"
check. The marker still carries its message id for one release, so the
previous build can read it.

* fix(runtime): end a transcript stream when its client unsubscribes

Desktop: the IPC subscription controller was dropped as soon as the streaming
handler returned, which for most streams is right after it binds. A later
runtime:unsubscribe then found nothing to abort, so the host kept the subscriber
and derived and sent every publish to a channel no one listened to. The controller
now lives until the renderer unsubscribes, resubscribes the same id, or goes away.

Mobile: disposing an agentSession.subscribe stream now sends agentSession.unsubscribe
with the stream's frame id, so the host ends that subscriber and leaves a sibling
stream on the same socket running. The direct path now passes the frame id the relay
path already passed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): one fact ends a restart offer: the chat moved on since the restart

The offer is live while no other message has been accepted in the chat since the
restart and its agent has not proved a start since. The offer list, the resume's
reservation check and the continuation's acceptance check all read that one fact,
so a message whose start then failed withdraws the offer too, and a stale click
finds nothing to act on.

The fact is read off the conversation's open handle, which the restart closed, so
it is retired durably whenever it may have changed: a message accepted, a start
proven. A close and reopen within the same run therefore cannot bring the offer
back. A continuation rejected before it reached the agent does not count, so a
retry after a failed start still runs.

Deleted: the quit-time gate on withdrawal, which changed nothing because the
withdrawal and the quit's own offer write share one queue; the per-action
"withdrawn" flag and the separate acceptance check it paired with.

* test(native-chat): an older build reads the restart offer this build records

The offer lives in a file the previous release reads after a downgrade. Pin that
against the pinned release's own capsule, and run the lane when the marker or the
capsule changes.

* fix(native-chat): read a restart offer against where the journal stood when it was taken

"Since the restart" was read off the conversation's open handle, which the idle
sweep closes: after a reopen, a message the user had already sent looked older
than the handle and the withdrawn offer came back.

The offer now records the journal position (epoch and sequence) at the moment
it is taken, and a message accepted after that position, or a journal on another
epoch, means the chat moved on. That is derived from the journal, so it holds
across any number of closes and reopens. An older build's offer has no position;
only a start withdraws it. Because the message half is now durable, the offer is
no longer rewritten in the recovery file on every accepted message; a proven
start still writes it, since only the host that saw the start knows of it.

* test(native-chat): wait for the listing's retire write before reading the recovery file

* refactor(native-chat): every journal row states which turn it belongs to

Rows gain a turn scope stated by the write that creates them: the open root
turn, or the conversation. A queued message takes its scope from its handover.
Rows stored before scopes existed are placed on replay by the root turn open
when they were created, so no persisted state is needed for them. Rewind keeps
each retained row's scope and producer, so a subagent's row stays its own.

* fix(native-chat): keep the terminal-backed chat's read error over its local echoes

Messages winning over a read error is right for the structured chat, whose read retries and whose
messages came from the transcript. The terminal-backed view assembles its list from local echoes
too (a launch prompt, a pending send), so a failed read there showed only those bubbles and no
error. Only the structured pane now keeps messages over an error.

* fix(native-chat): a start retries the exit settlement a failed journal write left owed

An agent exit whose journal settlement write failed releases the lease latched until a retry lands.
Reopening the chat used to be that retry; with reveal now only opening the journal, nothing retried
it before the next app launch, and every send was refused. The start the send needs now runs the
retry first, where the attach would.

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

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

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

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

* perf(native-chat): answer the owner check without opening the chat

Worktree activation calls agentSession.handoffStatus for every chat tab in the worktree, and the
answer comes from the session record alone. Reaching it through the accessor opened each resting
chat's journal (a full read, the crash-boundary write and a restored status publish), then kept it
open for the idle window. It now checks the record and the adapter's support, as before this series,
and opens nothing.

* fix(native-chat): a read waiting on the session lock opens nothing once quit began

The accessor checked for quit before queueing the open, so a read queued behind a session task ran
its open after teardown had begun and indexed a journal no teardown step would close. The check now
runs at the open itself.

* test(native-chat): pin stated turn scopes, the upcast of unscoped rows, and rewind attribution

* fix(native-chat): /compact is a message the chat sends, run as a turn of its own

The conversation command RPC now accepts /compact into the queue like any
send and answers once it is handed over. The delivery loop opens the command's
own turn, starts the provider on it, and waits for the provider's end off the
session's queue, so messages typed meanwhile are held and delivered after it,
even when it fails. It settles by re-reading the journal: a child that died
meanwhile already wrote the verdict. Stop ends the command at once. The 180 s
completion window, the unconfirmed row and the recovery of an older build's
compaction record are gone; that record no longer gates anything. On Codex the
provider turn the command opens is claimed into the command's turn.

* fix(native-chat): read a failed resume's chat before calling it retryable

Whether a failed resume is retryable is the offer's own rule: the chat has not moved on since the
restart, read from its journal. The failure list read it only for a chat already open, so once the
idle sweep closed a chat the user had moved on in, its failure showed Retry again, and the click did
nothing. The list now opens the failed chats first, as the offer list does.

* test(native-chat): type the provider event sink the settlement test reaches for

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

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

* fix(native-chat): say the structured read keeps trying only where it does

The structured pane's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line never showed: the view state filled in an
untranslated fallback whenever the read error had no text, and the empty state prefers any message.
The view state now leaves the message out, so the structured pane shows that line and the
terminal-backed pane its own translated one. Mobile's structured lane does not resubscribe after an
error frame, so it no longer makes the claim.

* fix(native-chat): rows group under the turn their record names, not the one above them

Each row's turn is the turn its stated scope names, anchored on the entry
that opened it, or on the turn itself when the provider opened it unasked.
So /compact groups its own rows and the previous turn is untouched, a message
typed into a running turn joins it, and a provider-resumed turn folds under
its own Worked-for. A row reporting how a turn ended, an error or the
compaction separator, never folds. Desktop and mobile read the same keys; a
host that states no scope keeps today's positional grouping.

* test(native-chat): await the send's settlement instead of polling for the start

The at-rest send tests polled for the provider start with vi.waitFor's one-second default, which a
loaded machine outran. They now await the host's own settlement of the message.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer resumes any time after the quit, and knows its own continuations

The continuation's message id was dated by the quit, and the ledger refuses a new id dated more than
a day back, so Resume or Retry a day after quitting was always refused (on main too). It is now
dated by the resume action.

Telling a rejected continuation from the user's own message read the operation ledger, whose rows
expire after about a day; after that a failed resume stopped being retryable. The offer now
records the continuation each action sends on its own capsule entry, bounded to the newest 16, so
the ids end with the offer. The ledger read is deleted.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact is not a request the sidebar, notifications or restart resume report

The sidebar's prompt, preview, verdict and instant, the turn-completion feed,
and the restart-resume marker read past a conversation command and its turn to
the last real request, so a /compact neither notifies nor re-dates the row,
and a command in flight is never offered as work to resume. An older client
shown a command's turn in the legacy form names the session's own agent.

* fix(orchestration): route no mail to a structured worker its orchestration released

A structured worker is routed on ownership, and a resting worker's lease is released, so ownership
held while its chat tab stayed listed. A worker the coordinator abandoned and then released, found
at rest by the release, therefore still took peer mail and @worktree: broadcasts, and each one
restarted its agent. Routing now also reads the orchestration's own resource row: once it is
released, direct mail, group addressing and worker-show's addressable answer drop the worker, as
they would a terminal worker whose terminal closed. The chat tab stays, and nothing new is stored.

* fix(native-chat): a failed retry names the user's prompt, not Orca's continuation

A resume's continuation is written to the chat before its start, so after a failed attempt the chat's
newest user message is that rejected continuation. A second failure then showed Orca's own restart
text as the chat's prompt. A retry now keeps the prompt its first failure named.

* test(native-chat): pin what a conversation command's admission refuses at rest and at handover

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

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

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

* fix(orchestration): read the released row optionally, as the authority does

worker-show's observation called the row lookup directly, which a runtime double without it threw on
and failed the structured tab-retirement release.

* chore(native-chat): one import per module and no unexplained casts in the turn-scope changes

* test(claude): pin which turn a Claude row joins, including a subagent's after the turn ends

* fix(native-chat): the status bar drops a restart offer the chat moved on from

The renderer re-read the host's restart offer only when a failed chat showed activity, so after a
message withdrew a pending offer the host answered no chats while the status bar kept counting one,
and clicking it opened nothing. The same watch now covers pending offers: a status change in an
offered chat asks the host again, once.

* fix(native-chat): a refused steer is read from the turn its handover named

The latest-request reader decided whether a refused send had joined a running turn by comparing
host clocks: its handover time against the previous turn's end. The handover row now states the
turn it delivered into, so the reader reads that instead and the clock comparison goes. A journal
written before handover rows stated a turn is scoped on replay from the turn open when each row
was written, which can differ from the clock reading only when a send and a turn's end share a
millisecond.

* fix(mobile): the native-chat controller contract carries the turn journal

The controller and overlay already pass nativeChatTurnJournal, but the
contract type never declared it, so mobile failed to typecheck.

* fix(native-chat): the live turn is the running turn, not the newest user row

A turn the provider opened on its own (a background wake, a resumed turn)
anchors on its own record, but the list still treated the newest user row
as the live turn. While such a turn ran, the settled user turn before it
lost its duration and the running turn's own rows were drawn as settled,
so its tool calls lost their live state.

nativeChatTurnMembership now answers both questions from the turn record:
each row's turn, and the live turn (the running root turn's anchor, else
the newest user row, which is also all an unscoped host has). Desktop and
mobile key liveness, the timing clock and the live status's row on it.

* test(native-chat): a turn the provider opened keeps its own clock

Pins that the local turn clock follows the live turn, so a wake after a
settled turn does not restart that turn's clock when no host durations
are recorded.

* fix(native-chat): a running turn no message opened draws its status on no row

Its live status belongs to the transcript-tail indicator alone. Once it
settles, its duration draws at its first row as before; a running turn a
message opened still draws on that message.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(native-chat): a roster of idle or finished children does not keep an agent awake

The sweep reads owed background work through the shared child-work liveness that upstream's
release clock adopted; a child that went idle or finished is not work the agent still owes.

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

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

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

* fix(orchestration): a task dispatched into a resting structured worker keeps it running

The sweep's open-dispatch check read only the worker-start dispatch that owns the worker's terminal
resource, so a task later dispatched to the same worker (orchestration dispatch --to, which writes a
dispatch with no worker row) did not count: after thirty quiet minutes the worker was stopped while
that task was open, and its coordinator read exited. Any unsettled dispatch addressed to the worker's
process incarnation now counts, derived from the existing rows.

* fix(native-chat): a command's wait ends when its child does

The delivery loop waited for a /compact only on the adapter's compaction
tracker, which learns of the child's end only on some exit paths: a Codex
exit or close, and a Claude close, never reach it. The wait then never
ended, so nothing queued behind the command was delivered again, Stop had
no child to answer through, and the tracker's leftover entry refused the
next /compact.

Every way a child ends passes endProviderChild, so the host now offers a
per-child end signal there. The loop races the tracker against it (the
dead-generation settlement has already written the command's verdict),
and on that end asks every adapter to release the command, so a later
command runs and no later provider turn is claimed into the dead one.
The adapters' own exit-time releases were unreachable (Codex) or covered
one path of several (Claude), and are removed.

The Codex RPC test harness moves to its own module so the exit can be
driven through the real adapter's connection callback.

* fix(native-chat): keep refusing sends during a command on an older host

An older host's controller still refuses a send while a conversation
command runs, so dropping the client's block turned every message typed
during /compact into a 'not sent' row with Retry there. The block stays
for hosts that do not run the command as a send-path turn, and goes only
for those that do.

The signal is one the client already holds: a host that runs /compact on
the send path states a turn scope on every journal row it writes, the
same fact turn membership uses to tell it from an older host. Both now
read it from one predicate. On an empty conversation, or one whose rows
all predate the upgrade, the signal is absent until the command's own
entry streams in, so that brief window keeps the old local refusal; no
capability or wire field is added.

* docs(native-chat): comments stop describing the hold this PR removed

Eight comments still justified orderings and teardown choices by a viewer or dispatch hold that
pinned the provider child. Nothing holds any more; the orderings stand for the binding's redrive
subscription and parked mail, and a chat's agent runs from a send until the idle sweep rests it.
Comment-only.

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer keeps the start its own continuation made

Whose start ended an offer was decided at read time, from whether the offer's continuation was
still the queued message. Once the provider refused that continuation, the child it had started
read as someone else's start, so the offer ended and its failure showed no Retry. The delivery
loop now records which queued message a start is for on the in-memory child, and the child's end
carries it; the offer counts a start as its own when that message is one of its continuations.

* fix(native-chat): a rewound turn still names the message that opened it

A Codex rewind rebuilds the epoch without submissions, so each sent message survives only under
its provider key. The kept turn records still named the submission key, so each turn anchored on
itself and its rows grouped apart from the message that opened it. The rewind now renames the
turn's opener along with the message.

* fix(native-chat): Stop ends only the command it names

Stop on a command turn abandoned whatever compaction the session had pending, so a late Stop for
an earlier /compact cancelled the one running now. The tracker now ends a command only when the
Stop names its turn, and the cancel reply reports whether it did.

* fix(native-chat): an agent gets a full idle window after its owed work ends

The sweep measured quiet only from the last journal row, so once a subagent, command, monitor or
dispatch that had outlived the window ended, the agent was stopped at the next tick. A child can
read done before the lead's wake-up turn writes anything, and stopping in that gap loses the
wake-up. The sweep now counts owed work it observes as activity, which gives the agent the full
window afterwards, as the release clock it replaced did.

* test(claude): the options-read fixture runs a live child

The fixture marked its conversation running with a hasProviderChild field the
session type does not have, so the read took the at-rest path and refused a
session with no record. It now carries a child, which is what the read checks.

* test(native-chat): host tests reach its collaborators through a typed seam

The rest-test rig and three test files read the host's private members with
Reflect.get and cast the result. The host now exposes one test-only accessor,
collaboratorsForTests(), and the subscribers class a subscriberCountForTests()
beside its existing retainedActivityCountForTests(), so the tests are checked
against the real types and the casts are gone.

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

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

* refactor(orchestration): one owner answers a structured worker's custody

Routing, group addressing, worker-show and the idle sweep each composed their own reading of
whether orchestration still holds a structured worker, so each new obligation or retirement state
had to be added to every reader. structured-worker-custody now derives both answers from the
worker-terminal list state coordinators see in worker-list: addressable is owned and not released,
and owed work is an active custody or an unsettled task dispatched to the same incarnation. The
owner's state is read through the remote dispatch attachment too, as the terminal transfer lookup
already does. Behaviour is unchanged; a settled worker awaiting its coordinator still rests.

* refactor(orchestration): owed work is an open dispatch on the worker's incarnation

A supervised worker's own dispatch context stays open exactly while the worker is active, so the
separate active-custody branch only repeated it. Owed work is now one fact, which also states the
policy that a worker awaiting its coordinator's decision may rest, and both custody decisions are
written once at the top of the module.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer knows its continuations by a tag in their id

The offer recorded each continuation id in a list on its capsule entry, capped at 16, and a running
action's id in memory. Both could disagree with the journal: past the cap an old rejected
continuation read as the chat moving on, and a crash during a retry restored the failure's older
entry, which lacked the retry's id. Each continuation id now carries a tag derived from the offer
(its teardown and chat), then the action's own part, so any continuation of this offer, queued or
rejected, is recognised from the journal row and the marker alone. The persisted list, its cap and
the in-memory action map are deleted; the agent-start withdrawal keeps an offer whose own
continuation the start was for, read against the stored marker.

* test(runtime): the legacy-worker reveal test judges its stale snapshot inside the wait

The tui-idle probe reads through readTerminal, which now awaits the structured
worker check before the PTY read, so the probe's snapshot request starts a
microtask later. vi.waitFor missed it on its first check and polled again at
50 ms, the same moment the wait's own 50 ms timeout fired. The stale snapshot
then resolved after the wait had already timed out, so the test passed without
judging it, and the rejection landed before any handler was attached. Vitest
reported that as an unhandled error and failed the shard.

Polling every 1 ms sees the request within a few ms, so the snapshot is judged
while the wait is still pending.

* fix(native-chat): a message held behind /compact is drawn where it was handed over

A message typed while /compact runs was drawn above the compaction's result, between
itself and its own answer. The reducer kept every item at the sequence and timestamp of
the row that created it, and a queued message is created at acceptance, long before the
command it waits behind writes its result. The phone orders by that sequence and the
desktop by that timestamp, so both put the message first.

A queued message now takes its position from its handover row, the same row that already
states its turn scope. Everything the agent did before the handover, a command it waited
behind included, draws above it. This holds for every held message, not only /compact's,
and needs no client change: every client, older builds included, reads the position the
host publishes. A live batch already carries the item when its dispatch row lands, and
history pages cut the reduced timeline by sequence, so paging stays contiguous.

* fix(native-chat): a phone's send during /compact answers without waiting out the compaction

A client that predates accepted-send replies, which is every phone build, has its send
reply held until the host hands the message over. A message sent during /compact is not
handed over until the compaction ends, so the phone's 15 s request timeout fired first
and showed the message as unconfirmed.

That wait now also ends once the message is queued behind a running command. This is
read from the journal's running turn and needs no new state. Every other wait still
ends at the handover: behind a starting child or an ordinary turn, and for restart
resume, the command front door and orchestration, which keep the plain handover point.

* perf(native-chat): a rewind places provider items with one pass over the merged rows

A Codex rewind gives each provider item the old epoch never held the turn record for its
provider turn. It found that record by scanning every merged row, restoring each row's
body, once per provider item. That is quadratic, and it runs on the host's main thread
up to the journal's 10,000-row cap, twice per rewind. A rewind record written before
rows carried their scope holds no scope for any provider item, so it paid the full cost.

The merge now indexes turn records by provider turn id once, keeping the first match as
the scan did, and each provider item looks its record up.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact is drawn after it until it is sent

A message sent while /compact runs is placed where it was handed over. It was still
drawn where it was accepted until then. /compact writes its result one step before the
handover, so for that step the waiting message sat above the compaction's separator.

A message the host accepted but has not handed over is not part of the conversation
yet, so both clients now draw it after everything the agent has done. The shared
projection moves it to the end, which is the order the phone draws. The desktop ranks
it with the other not-yet-sent rows, after the streaming preview. At handover it takes
its place from its handover row, which is also after the separator, so it never
appears above the compaction it waited for.

* fix(native-chat): the idle sweep reads owed work every tick

Owed work counted as activity, but the sweep read it only once the idle window had elapsed, so it
refreshed the clock at most once a window. Work that ended just before the next read left the
agent to be stopped at that read, moments after the work ended, which is the gap the refresh was
meant to cover. The sweep now reads owed work on every tick for a started agent, so the window
always runs from the last tick that saw work owed.

* fix(native-chat): a continuation handed to the agent stays sent

The offer read its own continuation as not reaching the agent while its dispatch was pending, which
also covered one already handed over and still unanswered. When the wait for that answer ended first,
the failure it filed read as retryable, and a retry sent a second continuation to an agent that may
have acted on the first. Only a continuation still queued, or rejected, is now read as unsent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a command ends only by its own provider answer or its child's end

Stop no longer settles a conversation command. It interrupts it like any turn,
and when the provider cannot take that (Codex has not opened the command's turn
yet, or Claude refuses the interrupt) it stops the child, whose dead-generation
settlement writes the verdict.

The pending command now lives on the provider child's own session instead of an
adapter-wide map keyed by session, so it dies with the child and nothing has to
release it. Claude's /compact is sent under a uuid the slot records, and only a
root result naming that input (or naming none) ends it; its outcome is read with
the ordinary result reading, so a stopped /compact is a cancellation.

* fix(native-chat): a command's settle answers its message before ending its turn

The two writes are not one batch. Writing the message's answer first means a
crash between them leaves a running command turn, which the stale-turn sweep
already settles, instead of an ended turn whose message reads as in flight
forever. The settle now writes only while the command turn is still running.

* fix(native-chat): "Worked for" counts from the handover, not the send

A message held behind /compact, or behind a cold start, used to count the wait
as the agent's work, although its row is drawn at the handover. Every handed-over
submission's turn, the command's own included, now starts at the handover row's
instant, falling back to the send time for a host that recorded none.

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

* test(native-chat): the interrupted create's own retry continues again

The merge of main's lease-latch fix replaced that test's retry of the interrupted create, under its
own operation id, with a fresh start whose result nothing read. That fresh start passes with the
released-reservation continuation deleted, so the case the fix exists for went untested. The retry
and its assertion are main's again.

* docs(native-chat): three comments that still had views starting agents

A start with nothing queued now comes from a command, goal change or rewind; an interrupted compaction
left alone would refuse every send, so no agent would ever start to finish it; and a current host
raises the unattached read refusal only once quit began, with the attach window belonging to an older
host.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a second Stop on a command ends its child; one compaction verdict for every provider

A Stop's note now names itself in its key, so a later Stop on a command still
running reads, from the journal, that the provider was already asked and never
answered, and stops the child instead of interrupting again. Nothing is held in
memory for it.

Adds the rule both translators will read a compaction's end by: only a
compaction the provider reported is a success; none after Orca's interrupt is a
cancellation; anything else is a failure. A real Claude capture, pinned as a
fixture, is why: a stopped /compact ends in the same success result as a
finished one.

* test(native-chat): a reader's open settles the turn a failed exit settlement left running

An exit whose settlement write failed leaves its turn running in the open journal. PR 1's open now
settles it, and this pins the two reads that reach it here: a reader reopening a chat the idle
sweep closed, and a read that opens the chat before the restart restore reaches it.

* test(native-chat): the view-start test's starting window outlasts two subscriptions on a loaded runner

A subscription reads the conversation before it returns, so under load the two views took longer
than the create child's 300 ms start, which then exited before the test checked that it had not.
The child now takes a second to fail.

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

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

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

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

* refactor(native-chat): the provider's translator ends a command's turn; the loop holds no command state

A conversation command is now a turn of the provider child's own journal
pipeline. The adapter-wide tracker, its promise and the loop's settle step are
gone.

- Codex: the translator claims the provider turn that carries the command, scopes
  its rows to the command's turn, and writes the command's end in the same batch
  that settles that turn. Codex's own compaction marker is the success row.
- Claude: the command's turn is the translator's open turn until the result that
  answers the /compact input ends it. The command's own frames, such as the
  continuation summary, its echo and "Compaction canceled.", draw nothing.
- Both read the end with the one compaction rule: success needs the provider's
  report of the compaction; none after Orca's interrupt is a cancellation.
- The message resolves at the provider's receipt, as any send does: the Codex
  ack, or the Claude slash-command waiter on its result. The host writes a
  command's end only when the provider never took it.
- The delivery loop stops while a command's turn runs, and every journal commit
  re-wakes it through the session's serialize, so an end that lands while a step
  decides to stop is never lost. A child that ends first is settled with it.

* test(native-chat): pin a command's end to real /compact frames and to each path it threads

The captured /compact frames drive the Claude translator's command turn: a
finished compaction ends as a success with only the separator drawn; a stopped
one ends as a cancellation with no failure row, and the next send answers in its
own turn; a result naming another input ends nothing. The command's end is
checked at each point the ordinary result path threads through: the reopen latch
after a failure, the settling of a child still working, the context facts the
result reports, and the provider's own error row.

On the host: a message held behind a command is handed over when the command
ends just as the loop stops for it, a refused command settles as a failure and
the loop moves on, and a Claude child that exits mid-command settles the command
and hands what waited to a fresh child.

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

* refactor(native-chat): drop the child-end waiter nothing waits on

A command no longer waits for its child here: its turn ends from the provider's frames or from
that child's settlement, and the delivery loop is woken by the commit. The waiter and its test
were left from the earlier shape.

* fix(native-chat): a command holds the queue only while its child runs it

The delivery loop stopped whenever the journal showed a command's turn running. When the
command's child ended and its settlement could not be written, that turn stayed running with
no child to end it, and the loop's gate kept it from ever starting the next child, which is
what settles a gone generation's leftovers. Every later send was held for good, and Stop had
no child to end.

The gate now holds only while the conversation has a child: with none, the command belongs to
a gone generation, and the loop's start settles it like any turn a dead child left running.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude /compact succeeds only on its compaction boundary

The command's evidence counted Claude's `compact_result: 'success'` status as the compaction
done. That status comes before the boundary that replaces the history, so a Stop landing
between the two read as a finished compaction even though no boundary was ever written. Only
the boundary now counts, as the rule for both providers states; the capture's finished
compaction carries one, so it still reads as a success.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude child's exit says why the turn it ended stopped

When a Claude child exited mid-/compact, the command showed "Worked for 0s" and no reason. The
child's translator ends its open turn the moment the exit is reported, stamped with the exit's
instant, so by the time the exit settlement ran nothing was running. The settlement recognises a
turn the exit already ended by that same instant, but the Claude lifecycle event dropped it on the
way to the host, which then used its own clock, matched nothing, and wrote no row. When the clocks
did agree, the row was scoped to the running turn, of which there was none, so it landed outside
the turn it explained.

The exit's instant now reaches the host, and the exit row belongs to the turn the exit ended:
still running, or ended by the translator at that instant.

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact draws below its live activity

A message sent while /compact runs waits on the host until the command ends. Both clients moved
it to the end of the transcript rows, but the running turn's live activity line ("Compacting the
conversation") draws after every row, so the waiting message sat between the command and its own
live status.

A row that is queued, and not what the live turn is for, now draws after that live activity: on
desktop outside the transcript window, below the activity line; on the phone in the list footer,
below the live status. A message whose own start is pending still draws above the activity that
start reports.

* fix(native-chat): only a running command holds a message below its live activity

A message is accepted, then handed over a moment later, and in between it reads as waiting. Every
message waiting behind a live turn drew below that turn's activity line, so an ordinary message
sent while the agent was working crossed below "Thinking" and jumped back up once it was handed
over, on desktop and phone. Only a conversation command's turn holds the queue on the host.

A message now waits below the live activity only while the running turn is one a command opened,
read from the entry that opened it. The phone test also typechecks, which the mobile test ratchet
requires.

* test(codex): the claim test names its notification params as a record

* test(native-chat): a read that reaches a crashed chat before the startup reconcile settles its turn

On desktop the chat on screen at relaunch reads before startup reconciles the leases, while the
dead process's lease still reads live. The open settles the turn it left running anyway, and the
restore that follows finds it settled.

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): drop the removed dispatch hold from six comments

A worker's session no longer takes a dispatch hold, and no release clock
rests a chat by visibility; the agent-launch comments, the abandon test,
the teardown test and the refusal census still said so.

* test(native-chat): rest the owner-status chat through the idle sweep, not a hold

The activation-gate test from #22808 put its chat at rest by holding and
releasing it, and passed the release-clock grace. This branch deleted both,
so the case threw before it reached its assertions. It now moves the host's
clock past the idle window and lets the sweep stop the agent and close the
conversation, then asserts the same owner answer and activation gate.

* fix(native-chat): show the structured pane's retrying line when a read fails

The read transport always hands the pane the host's words, so the error
state's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line, which showed only when there
were none, was never seen: the pane showed the host's text twice, as its
subtitle and on the status line under it. The structured pane now always
says its read keeps retrying, and the host's text stays on the status line.
The terminal-backed chat is unchanged.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a failed Codex compaction's late completion writes no turn of its own

Codex ends a failed turn with an error and then still completes it as failed.
The error settled the compaction and released its claim on the provider turn,
so the completion read that turn as an ordinary one and wrote a stray record.
The claim now lasts until the completion, which adds nothing to a command the
error already ended.

* test(native-chat): the mid-command exit case resumes its next child as a real one does

The case's fake started every child as a newly created thread with the same generation. The
store refuses a created link once the conversation has a thread, so the next child's start
failed and wrote its own error row, which landed before or after the case read the journal.
The next child now resumes the thread under its own generation, and the case reads the
journal once the waiting message is delivered, which also proves the loop moved on.

* fix(native-chat): a /clear that never committed no longer locks the chat

A /clear wrote a durable "prepared, outcome unknown" record before starting
the replacement conversation. When that start was refused without a definite
answer (or Orca died), the record stayed forever, and while it did the chat
refused every send, /compact, a new /clear and rewind. Its only exit was a
rerun under the same operation id, which only the renderer held.

The record guarded nothing the process does not already know: a clear in
flight holds the session's serialize for its whole run and the command
controller refuses sends meanwhile, and the replacement's id and start
operation are pure functions of the clear's operation id. So the clear now
writes nothing durable before its commit, the gates refuse only a committed
clear (an older build's prepared record is inert), and a clear with no
committed answer reruns: a same-op retry re-attaches the same replacement,
a new op id runs a fresh clear.

A crash between the replacement's start and the commit leaves a replacement
record nothing points at. Verified: it has no tab, is not in the
replacement list, and a restart opens and starts nothing for it (restore
reads only the visible tab index); restart reconciliation releases its lease
like any dead owner's. In a live process its agent is stopped by the idle
sweep like any quiet agent. Session History lists provider transcripts and
only annotates them with an owner, so it can list this only if the provider
wrote a transcript for a thread that never got a message. Its record stays
on disk, as every closed chat's does; the store deletes none.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex rewind the provider did not keep no longer fails every attach

When Codex acknowledged a revert and Orca stopped before proving it, the
rewind stayed prepared with providerApplied set. On the next attach,
recovery read the provider's history, found the target turn still there
(provider-refused), and threw, because that settlement was limited to
reverts never sent. The throw ran inside the attach, so every attach, and
every send that needs one, failed for good.

The journal is replaced only once the provider proves the revert, so both
the provider and the journal still hold the target turn: settling the
rewind refused is consistent whether or not the provider acknowledged it.

* test(native-chat): a clear retried after a crash starts no second replacement

The replacement's id is the only thing that keeps a retried clear from leaving a second one, and no test held it across a restart.

* chore(native-chat): the clear rerun comment claims only the stable replacement id

* test(native-chat): wait for a send's background start before the refusal oracle removes its store

An accepted send wakes the delivery loop, which starts the agent in the background. The oracle's teardown disposed the loop but did not wait for that start, so its lease write could create a temp file in the store directory while the directory was being removed, failing the test with ENOTEMPTY about one run in four. The teardown now drains tracked starts before it closes the journals.

* fix(native-chat): a start a message waited on gets one failure row, the delivery loop's

When a queued message's start failed, two writers could report it under the same row: the delivery loop, when the adapter settled the start without proving it, and the exit settlement, when the child's exit landed. The last one won, so the chat's row could name a different cause than the one the message was rejected with, or be written twice.

The exit settlement now writes the start's row only when no message is queued and the loop has not already recorded that start. A start for a command, goal change or rewind, with nothing queued, still gets its row from the exit.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact whose start failed says to run /compact again

The failure-words context named only /clear as a command to retry, so a
/compact whose agent failed to start read "Send your message to try again."
on its row, its rejected message and the command reply. The context now
carries any conversation command; the host derives it from the oldest
message still waiting on the provider, which is the one a failed start
fails first, and the /compact reply names it directly.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex /compact ends only on its turn's completion, below Codex's own error row

Since only turn/completed ends a Codex turn, Codex's turn-ending `error` is a row
inside the still-open command turn, and the failed completion that follows it is
the command's end: completed, outcome failure, at the completion's receipt time.
The command's own "Compaction failed" row was written on that completion too, so a
failed /compact read its reason twice.

The command turn now notes when Codex's turn-ending error for the turn it carries
was written as a row, and its end then adds no second row. A retried stream error
ends nothing and is not counted. The flag that let the error end the command and
kept the claim until the completion is gone with the error-driven end.

A test replays the captured failed compaction from the real app-server through a
claimed command turn.

* test(native-chat): main's crash-turn test states its row's turn, and a dead /compact settles on its recorded exit

Two tests the main merge brought together:
- The crash-turn test from #23456 writes a turn record through the event sink
  without options; every row here states its turn scope, and a turn record's is
  the thread.
- The /compact whose exit settlement could not be written no longer stays running
  until the next start: main now settles an open chat from the exit it recorded, so
  the command reads interrupted before the next message, which is then delivered.

* test(native-chat): main's new journal tests state each row's turn

The crash-turn, stale-turn and sink-queue tests main added wrote rows without a
turn scope, which every item write now states. Rows written inside a running
turn name that turn; the sink-queue batch and a send handed over with no live
turn name the thread.

* fix(native-chat): draw a queued turn's message after the earlier turn's rows

A message sent while A runs is written to the journal when it is sent.
When the provider queues it (Claude answers it after A), A's remaining
rows - its last tool run and its answer - are written after that
message, and the message's own turn opens only after them. Grouping put
those rows in A's turn, but the transcript still drew them in journal
order, below B's bubble and bar, where A's answer read as B's reply. This
is the residual #23671 left open.

A message that opened a turn now draws after the earlier turns' rows the
journal wrote after it, just before its own turn's rows
(nativeChatTurnDrawOrder, returned by nativeChatTurnMembership as
drawOrder). Desktop and mobile both draw in that order. A steer, and a
message that has opened no turn yet, stay where they were written. It
applies on hosts that state turn scopes and, through journal order, on
older ones.

* test(native-chat): run #23026's Stop tests against #23059's command turns

Two of #23026's tests call APIs #23059 changed, and failed after the
merge:

- codex-structured-conversation-stop: a compaction now goes through
  adapter.compact with the command run the host wrote (#23059), not a
  bare turn id, and answers with the provider's receipt. With the command
  claimed, a Stop that names no turn while the compaction's provider turn
  has not opened still interrupts nothing.
- main-agent-working-agreement: a provider row states its turn scope
  (#23059's appendItem contract); the retry and subagent rows are
  conversation-scoped.

* fix(native-chat): typecheck main's Stop and restore-grouping code against #23059

A Stop's compaction interrupt reads the narrowed requested turn, and the
restore-grouping test states whether each row reports its turn's outcome.

* fix(native-chat): say a /clear cut off by a restart left the chat unchanged

A /clear retried under the same operation after Orca restarted could not reuse the new conversation its first try started, and its row said "Codex couldn't start. Run /clear again." The agent did not fail to start: the earlier try was cut off. The row now reads "This /clear didn't finish, so the chat is unchanged. Run /clear again to start fresh.", from a new clearUnfinished failure fact written through agentSessionFailureWords.

The clearUnconfirmed and conversationCommandUnconfirmed reasons stay, with their words, for older hosts that still send them.

* fix(native-chat): a retried /clear finishes onto the conversation its earlier try started

When an earlier try of the same /clear started its replacement conversation and a restart or the
idle sweep has since stopped it, the retry could not replay that settled start and reported the
chat unchanged. That replacement is a fresh conversation at rest, so the retry now commits onto it
and its first message starts its agent. A replacement whose start definitely failed still reads
that failure, and one Orca can't prove stopped still commits nothing. The clearUnfinished failure
kind this made unnecessary is removed.

* refactor(native-chat): stop recording that Codex acknowledged a rewind

A refused rewind recovery now settles as refused whether or not Codex acknowledged the revert,
so nothing reads providerApplied any more. Stop writing it and drop the hook that wrote it.
Records that still carry the field load as before; the schema ignores the extra key.

* fix(native-chat): a /clear retried under a new operation id finishes the same replacement

A /clear's replacement id came from the client's operation id, so a retry the client sent
under a fresh id started a second replacement and orphaned the first. The host now derives
it from this caller's oldest /clear since its last commit whose replacement start reached
the operation ledger, so any retry from that caller finishes the same replacement, including
after a restart. A /clear after a committed one starts a new replacement. Another caller's
/clear is refused only while such a replacement is running or not proven stopped. An older
client that resends the same operation id still lands on the same replacement.

* fix(native-chat): a /clear retry never repeats a failed start or waits on an unproven stop

A retry under a new operation id could pick an earlier try whose replacement start had already
failed, replay that failure and commit it again, so a user who had since signed in was told
they were still signed out. Such a try is now skipped, and the retry starts afresh.

Another window's /clear was refused while the first window's leftover replacement was merely
not proven stopped. Nothing but the first window's own retry would settle that, so the refusal
could last until its ledger row expired a day later. It now waits only on a replacement whose
agent is running.

* fix(native-chat): a /clear retry finishes only a replacement that started

A retry picked an earlier try whose replacement start never answered, because a crash left
that start unsettled. Replaying it could only repeat "couldn't start" or, with the old agent
unproven, refuse every /clear from that window. Only a start that succeeded left a
conversation to finish; any other try is skipped and the retry starts afresh.

Brennan BensonandClaude 5c59a2dfec fix(native-chat): a failed turn ends on its error instead of folding it (#23679)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(native-chat): type the stalled snapshot drain without a cast

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): the conversation outlives its agent

Opening a chat no longer starts its agent. A conversation is reached through one host
accessor that opens its journal at rest, and a send is what starts the agent, through
the delivery loop. One idle sweep, every five minutes, stops an agent that has been
quiet for thirty minutes and owes no work, then drops an open journal handle that is
only a cache. Its record, tab, status row and readers stay.

- hold and release are no-ops; hold still builds the host for shipped mobile builds.
- The holders, the holds, the release clock and the exit respawn are deleted.
- Options, the model list, the goal and the context meter answer at rest; a model pick
  at rest is recorded as intent for the next start.
- Compact, rewind, clear and goal changes start the agent first. A send does too when
  a rewind is still in doubt after the conversation opens.
- Orchestration routes mail and group addresses on ownership (the record plus the chat
  tab), not on whether the process runs. An open dispatch keeps its worker running.
- The restart continuation is a send; Resume all holds each slot until the message is
  handed over or rejected.
- A read error never replaces a loaded transcript, and shows the host's own words.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer ends when the chat's agent starts again

The offer used to end only when the chat's newest user message changed,
because opening a chat started its agent and that start could not be told
apart from real activity. Opening a chat starts nothing now, so the host
reads the fact it already publishes: a chat's status row goes from not
host-owned to host-owned exactly when its agent is started. At that edge the
offer and any failure record for the chat are withdrawn, unless the start is
a resume action's own (its continuation is the oldest undelivered message).

A continuation and a message racing to be first are decided at acceptance:
the continuation is refused, quietly and with nothing filed, when any other
message was accepted since the restart. A failed continuation start leaves
the offer retryable, and each resume action sends its own message id.

Deleted: the newest-user-message comparison, its journal reader, the
continuation filter, and the failure ledger's own "answered by the chat"
check. The marker still carries its message id for one release, so the
previous build can read it.

* fix(runtime): end a transcript stream when its client unsubscribes

Desktop: the IPC subscription controller was dropped as soon as the streaming
handler returned, which for most streams is right after it binds. A later
runtime:unsubscribe then found nothing to abort, so the host kept the subscriber
and derived and sent every publish to a channel no one listened to. The controller
now lives until the renderer unsubscribes, resubscribes the same id, or goes away.

Mobile: disposing an agentSession.subscribe stream now sends agentSession.unsubscribe
with the stream's frame id, so the host ends that subscriber and leaves a sibling
stream on the same socket running. The direct path now passes the frame id the relay
path already passed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): one fact ends a restart offer: the chat moved on since the restart

The offer is live while no other message has been accepted in the chat since the
restart and its agent has not proved a start since. The offer list, the resume's
reservation check and the continuation's acceptance check all read that one fact,
so a message whose start then failed withdraws the offer too, and a stale click
finds nothing to act on.

The fact is read off the conversation's open handle, which the restart closed, so
it is retired durably whenever it may have changed: a message accepted, a start
proven. A close and reopen within the same run therefore cannot bring the offer
back. A continuation rejected before it reached the agent does not count, so a
retry after a failed start still runs.

Deleted: the quit-time gate on withdrawal, which changed nothing because the
withdrawal and the quit's own offer write share one queue; the per-action
"withdrawn" flag and the separate acceptance check it paired with.

* test(native-chat): an older build reads the restart offer this build records

The offer lives in a file the previous release reads after a downgrade. Pin that
against the pinned release's own capsule, and run the lane when the marker or the
capsule changes.

* fix(native-chat): read a restart offer against where the journal stood when it was taken

"Since the restart" was read off the conversation's open handle, which the idle
sweep closes: after a reopen, a message the user had already sent looked older
than the handle and the withdrawn offer came back.

The offer now records the journal position (epoch and sequence) at the moment
it is taken, and a message accepted after that position, or a journal on another
epoch, means the chat moved on. That is derived from the journal, so it holds
across any number of closes and reopens. An older build's offer has no position;
only a start withdraws it. Because the message half is now durable, the offer is
no longer rewritten in the recovery file on every accepted message; a proven
start still writes it, since only the host that saw the start knows of it.

* test(native-chat): wait for the listing's retire write before reading the recovery file

* refactor(native-chat): every journal row states which turn it belongs to

Rows gain a turn scope stated by the write that creates them: the open root
turn, or the conversation. A queued message takes its scope from its handover.
Rows stored before scopes existed are placed on replay by the root turn open
when they were created, so no persisted state is needed for them. Rewind keeps
each retained row's scope and producer, so a subagent's row stays its own.

* fix(native-chat): keep the terminal-backed chat's read error over its local echoes

Messages winning over a read error is right for the structured chat, whose read retries and whose
messages came from the transcript. The terminal-backed view assembles its list from local echoes
too (a launch prompt, a pending send), so a failed read there showed only those bubbles and no
error. Only the structured pane now keeps messages over an error.

* fix(native-chat): a start retries the exit settlement a failed journal write left owed

An agent exit whose journal settlement write failed releases the lease latched until a retry lands.
Reopening the chat used to be that retry; with reveal now only opening the journal, nothing retried
it before the next app launch, and every send was refused. The start the send needs now runs the
retry first, where the attach would.

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

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

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

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

* perf(native-chat): answer the owner check without opening the chat

Worktree activation calls agentSession.handoffStatus for every chat tab in the worktree, and the
answer comes from the session record alone. Reaching it through the accessor opened each resting
chat's journal (a full read, the crash-boundary write and a restored status publish), then kept it
open for the idle window. It now checks the record and the adapter's support, as before this series,
and opens nothing.

* fix(native-chat): a read waiting on the session lock opens nothing once quit began

The accessor checked for quit before queueing the open, so a read queued behind a session task ran
its open after teardown had begun and indexed a journal no teardown step would close. The check now
runs at the open itself.

* test(native-chat): pin stated turn scopes, the upcast of unscoped rows, and rewind attribution

* fix(native-chat): /compact is a message the chat sends, run as a turn of its own

The conversation command RPC now accepts /compact into the queue like any
send and answers once it is handed over. The delivery loop opens the command's
own turn, starts the provider on it, and waits for the provider's end off the
session's queue, so messages typed meanwhile are held and delivered after it,
even when it fails. It settles by re-reading the journal: a child that died
meanwhile already wrote the verdict. Stop ends the command at once. The 180 s
completion window, the unconfirmed row and the recovery of an older build's
compaction record are gone; that record no longer gates anything. On Codex the
provider turn the command opens is claimed into the command's turn.

* fix(native-chat): read a failed resume's chat before calling it retryable

Whether a failed resume is retryable is the offer's own rule: the chat has not moved on since the
restart, read from its journal. The failure list read it only for a chat already open, so once the
idle sweep closed a chat the user had moved on in, its failure showed Retry again, and the click did
nothing. The list now opens the failed chats first, as the offer list does.

* test(native-chat): type the provider event sink the settlement test reaches for

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

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

* fix(native-chat): say the structured read keeps trying only where it does

The structured pane's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line never showed: the view state filled in an
untranslated fallback whenever the read error had no text, and the empty state prefers any message.
The view state now leaves the message out, so the structured pane shows that line and the
terminal-backed pane its own translated one. Mobile's structured lane does not resubscribe after an
error frame, so it no longer makes the claim.

* fix(native-chat): rows group under the turn their record names, not the one above them

Each row's turn is the turn its stated scope names, anchored on the entry
that opened it, or on the turn itself when the provider opened it unasked.
So /compact groups its own rows and the previous turn is untouched, a message
typed into a running turn joins it, and a provider-resumed turn folds under
its own Worked-for. A row reporting how a turn ended, an error or the
compaction separator, never folds. Desktop and mobile read the same keys; a
host that states no scope keeps today's positional grouping.

* test(native-chat): await the send's settlement instead of polling for the start

The at-rest send tests polled for the provider start with vi.waitFor's one-second default, which a
loaded machine outran. They now await the host's own settlement of the message.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer resumes any time after the quit, and knows its own continuations

The continuation's message id was dated by the quit, and the ledger refuses a new id dated more than
a day back, so Resume or Retry a day after quitting was always refused (on main too). It is now
dated by the resume action.

Telling a rejected continuation from the user's own message read the operation ledger, whose rows
expire after about a day; after that a failed resume stopped being retryable. The offer now
records the continuation each action sends on its own capsule entry, bounded to the newest 16, so
the ids end with the offer. The ledger read is deleted.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact is not a request the sidebar, notifications or restart resume report

The sidebar's prompt, preview, verdict and instant, the turn-completion feed,
and the restart-resume marker read past a conversation command and its turn to
the last real request, so a /compact neither notifies nor re-dates the row,
and a command in flight is never offered as work to resume. An older client
shown a command's turn in the legacy form names the session's own agent.

* fix(orchestration): route no mail to a structured worker its orchestration released

A structured worker is routed on ownership, and a resting worker's lease is released, so ownership
held while its chat tab stayed listed. A worker the coordinator abandoned and then released, found
at rest by the release, therefore still took peer mail and @worktree: broadcasts, and each one
restarted its agent. Routing now also reads the orchestration's own resource row: once it is
released, direct mail, group addressing and worker-show's addressable answer drop the worker, as
they would a terminal worker whose terminal closed. The chat tab stays, and nothing new is stored.

* fix(native-chat): a failed retry names the user's prompt, not Orca's continuation

A resume's continuation is written to the chat before its start, so after a failed attempt the chat's
newest user message is that rejected continuation. A second failure then showed Orca's own restart
text as the chat's prompt. A retry now keeps the prompt its first failure named.

* test(native-chat): pin what a conversation command's admission refuses at rest and at handover

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

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

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

* fix(orchestration): read the released row optionally, as the authority does

worker-show's observation called the row lookup directly, which a runtime double without it threw on
and failed the structured tab-retirement release.

* chore(native-chat): one import per module and no unexplained casts in the turn-scope changes

* test(claude): pin which turn a Claude row joins, including a subagent's after the turn ends

* fix(native-chat): the status bar drops a restart offer the chat moved on from

The renderer re-read the host's restart offer only when a failed chat showed activity, so after a
message withdrew a pending offer the host answered no chats while the status bar kept counting one,
and clicking it opened nothing. The same watch now covers pending offers: a status change in an
offered chat asks the host again, once.

* fix(native-chat): a refused steer is read from the turn its handover named

The latest-request reader decided whether a refused send had joined a running turn by comparing
host clocks: its handover time against the previous turn's end. The handover row now states the
turn it delivered into, so the reader reads that instead and the clock comparison goes. A journal
written before handover rows stated a turn is scoped on replay from the turn open when each row
was written, which can differ from the clock reading only when a send and a turn's end share a
millisecond.

* fix(mobile): the native-chat controller contract carries the turn journal

The controller and overlay already pass nativeChatTurnJournal, but the
contract type never declared it, so mobile failed to typecheck.

* fix(native-chat): the live turn is the running turn, not the newest user row

A turn the provider opened on its own (a background wake, a resumed turn)
anchors on its own record, but the list still treated the newest user row
as the live turn. While such a turn ran, the settled user turn before it
lost its duration and the running turn's own rows were drawn as settled,
so its tool calls lost their live state.

nativeChatTurnMembership now answers both questions from the turn record:
each row's turn, and the live turn (the running root turn's anchor, else
the newest user row, which is also all an unscoped host has). Desktop and
mobile key liveness, the timing clock and the live status's row on it.

* test(native-chat): a turn the provider opened keeps its own clock

Pins that the local turn clock follows the live turn, so a wake after a
settled turn does not restart that turn's clock when no host durations
are recorded.

* fix(native-chat): a running turn no message opened draws its status on no row

Its live status belongs to the transcript-tail indicator alone. Once it
settles, its duration draws at its first row as before; a running turn a
message opened still draws on that message.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(native-chat): a roster of idle or finished children does not keep an agent awake

The sweep reads owed background work through the shared child-work liveness that upstream's
release clock adopted; a child that went idle or finished is not work the agent still owes.

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

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

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

* fix(orchestration): a task dispatched into a resting structured worker keeps it running

The sweep's open-dispatch check read only the worker-start dispatch that owns the worker's terminal
resource, so a task later dispatched to the same worker (orchestration dispatch --to, which writes a
dispatch with no worker row) did not count: after thirty quiet minutes the worker was stopped while
that task was open, and its coordinator read exited. Any unsettled dispatch addressed to the worker's
process incarnation now counts, derived from the existing rows.

* fix(native-chat): a command's wait ends when its child does

The delivery loop waited for a /compact only on the adapter's compaction
tracker, which learns of the child's end only on some exit paths: a Codex
exit or close, and a Claude close, never reach it. The wait then never
ended, so nothing queued behind the command was delivered again, Stop had
no child to answer through, and the tracker's leftover entry refused the
next /compact.

Every way a child ends passes endProviderChild, so the host now offers a
per-child end signal there. The loop races the tracker against it (the
dead-generation settlement has already written the command's verdict),
and on that end asks every adapter to release the command, so a later
command runs and no later provider turn is claimed into the dead one.
The adapters' own exit-time releases were unreachable (Codex) or covered
one path of several (Claude), and are removed.

The Codex RPC test harness moves to its own module so the exit can be
driven through the real adapter's connection callback.

* fix(native-chat): keep refusing sends during a command on an older host

An older host's controller still refuses a send while a conversation
command runs, so dropping the client's block turned every message typed
during /compact into a 'not sent' row with Retry there. The block stays
for hosts that do not run the command as a send-path turn, and goes only
for those that do.

The signal is one the client already holds: a host that runs /compact on
the send path states a turn scope on every journal row it writes, the
same fact turn membership uses to tell it from an older host. Both now
read it from one predicate. On an empty conversation, or one whose rows
all predate the upgrade, the signal is absent until the command's own
entry streams in, so that brief window keeps the old local refusal; no
capability or wire field is added.

* docs(native-chat): comments stop describing the hold this PR removed

Eight comments still justified orderings and teardown choices by a viewer or dispatch hold that
pinned the provider child. Nothing holds any more; the orderings stand for the binding's redrive
subscription and parked mail, and a chat's agent runs from a send until the idle sweep rests it.
Comment-only.

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer keeps the start its own continuation made

Whose start ended an offer was decided at read time, from whether the offer's continuation was
still the queued message. Once the provider refused that continuation, the child it had started
read as someone else's start, so the offer ended and its failure showed no Retry. The delivery
loop now records which queued message a start is for on the in-memory child, and the child's end
carries it; the offer counts a start as its own when that message is one of its continuations.

* fix(native-chat): a rewound turn still names the message that opened it

A Codex rewind rebuilds the epoch without submissions, so each sent message survives only under
its provider key. The kept turn records still named the submission key, so each turn anchored on
itself and its rows grouped apart from the message that opened it. The rewind now renames the
turn's opener along with the message.

* fix(native-chat): Stop ends only the command it names

Stop on a command turn abandoned whatever compaction the session had pending, so a late Stop for
an earlier /compact cancelled the one running now. The tracker now ends a command only when the
Stop names its turn, and the cancel reply reports whether it did.

* fix(native-chat): an agent gets a full idle window after its owed work ends

The sweep measured quiet only from the last journal row, so once a subagent, command, monitor or
dispatch that had outlived the window ended, the agent was stopped at the next tick. A child can
read done before the lead's wake-up turn writes anything, and stopping in that gap loses the
wake-up. The sweep now counts owed work it observes as activity, which gives the agent the full
window afterwards, as the release clock it replaced did.

* test(claude): the options-read fixture runs a live child

The fixture marked its conversation running with a hasProviderChild field the
session type does not have, so the read took the at-rest path and refused a
session with no record. It now carries a child, which is what the read checks.

* test(native-chat): host tests reach its collaborators through a typed seam

The rest-test rig and three test files read the host's private members with
Reflect.get and cast the result. The host now exposes one test-only accessor,
collaboratorsForTests(), and the subscribers class a subscriberCountForTests()
beside its existing retainedActivityCountForTests(), so the tests are checked
against the real types and the casts are gone.

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

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

* refactor(orchestration): one owner answers a structured worker's custody

Routing, group addressing, worker-show and the idle sweep each composed their own reading of
whether orchestration still holds a structured worker, so each new obligation or retirement state
had to be added to every reader. structured-worker-custody now derives both answers from the
worker-terminal list state coordinators see in worker-list: addressable is owned and not released,
and owed work is an active custody or an unsettled task dispatched to the same incarnation. The
owner's state is read through the remote dispatch attachment too, as the terminal transfer lookup
already does. Behaviour is unchanged; a settled worker awaiting its coordinator still rests.

* refactor(orchestration): owed work is an open dispatch on the worker's incarnation

A supervised worker's own dispatch context stays open exactly while the worker is active, so the
separate active-custody branch only repeated it. Owed work is now one fact, which also states the
policy that a worker awaiting its coordinator's decision may rest, and both custody decisions are
written once at the top of the module.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer knows its continuations by a tag in their id

The offer recorded each continuation id in a list on its capsule entry, capped at 16, and a running
action's id in memory. Both could disagree with the journal: past the cap an old rejected
continuation read as the chat moving on, and a crash during a retry restored the failure's older
entry, which lacked the retry's id. Each continuation id now carries a tag derived from the offer
(its teardown and chat), then the action's own part, so any continuation of this offer, queued or
rejected, is recognised from the journal row and the marker alone. The persisted list, its cap and
the in-memory action map are deleted; the agent-start withdrawal keeps an offer whose own
continuation the start was for, read against the stored marker.

* test(runtime): the legacy-worker reveal test judges its stale snapshot inside the wait

The tui-idle probe reads through readTerminal, which now awaits the structured
worker check before the PTY read, so the probe's snapshot request starts a
microtask later. vi.waitFor missed it on its first check and polled again at
50 ms, the same moment the wait's own 50 ms timeout fired. The stale snapshot
then resolved after the wait had already timed out, so the test passed without
judging it, and the rejection landed before any handler was attached. Vitest
reported that as an unhandled error and failed the shard.

Polling every 1 ms sees the request within a few ms, so the snapshot is judged
while the wait is still pending.

* fix(native-chat): a message held behind /compact is drawn where it was handed over

A message typed while /compact runs was drawn above the compaction's result, between
itself and its own answer. The reducer kept every item at the sequence and timestamp of
the row that created it, and a queued message is created at acceptance, long before the
command it waits behind writes its result. The phone orders by that sequence and the
desktop by that timestamp, so both put the message first.

A queued message now takes its position from its handover row, the same row that already
states its turn scope. Everything the agent did before the handover, a command it waited
behind included, draws above it. This holds for every held message, not only /compact's,
and needs no client change: every client, older builds included, reads the position the
host publishes. A live batch already carries the item when its dispatch row lands, and
history pages cut the reduced timeline by sequence, so paging stays contiguous.

* fix(native-chat): a phone's send during /compact answers without waiting out the compaction

A client that predates accepted-send replies, which is every phone build, has its send
reply held until the host hands the message over. A message sent during /compact is not
handed over until the compaction ends, so the phone's 15 s request timeout fired first
and showed the message as unconfirmed.

That wait now also ends once the message is queued behind a running command. This is
read from the journal's running turn and needs no new state. Every other wait still
ends at the handover: behind a starting child or an ordinary turn, and for restart
resume, the command front door and orchestration, which keep the plain handover point.

* perf(native-chat): a rewind places provider items with one pass over the merged rows

A Codex rewind gives each provider item the old epoch never held the turn record for its
provider turn. It found that record by scanning every merged row, restoring each row's
body, once per provider item. That is quadratic, and it runs on the host's main thread
up to the journal's 10,000-row cap, twice per rewind. A rewind record written before
rows carried their scope holds no scope for any provider item, so it paid the full cost.

The merge now indexes turn records by provider turn id once, keeping the first match as
the scan did, and each provider item looks its record up.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact is drawn after it until it is sent

A message sent while /compact runs is placed where it was handed over. It was still
drawn where it was accepted until then. /compact writes its result one step before the
handover, so for that step the waiting message sat above the compaction's separator.

A message the host accepted but has not handed over is not part of the conversation
yet, so both clients now draw it after everything the agent has done. The shared
projection moves it to the end, which is the order the phone draws. The desktop ranks
it with the other not-yet-sent rows, after the streaming preview. At handover it takes
its place from its handover row, which is also after the separator, so it never
appears above the compaction it waited for.

* fix(native-chat): the idle sweep reads owed work every tick

Owed work counted as activity, but the sweep read it only once the idle window had elapsed, so it
refreshed the clock at most once a window. Work that ended just before the next read left the
agent to be stopped at that read, moments after the work ended, which is the gap the refresh was
meant to cover. The sweep now reads owed work on every tick for a started agent, so the window
always runs from the last tick that saw work owed.

* fix(native-chat): a continuation handed to the agent stays sent

The offer read its own continuation as not reaching the agent while its dispatch was pending, which
also covered one already handed over and still unanswered. When the wait for that answer ended first,
the failure it filed read as retryable, and a retry sent a second continuation to an agent that may
have acted on the first. Only a continuation still queued, or rejected, is now read as unsent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a command ends only by its own provider answer or its child's end

Stop no longer settles a conversation command. It interrupts it like any turn,
and when the provider cannot take that (Codex has not opened the command's turn
yet, or Claude refuses the interrupt) it stops the child, whose dead-generation
settlement writes the verdict.

The pending command now lives on the provider child's own session instead of an
adapter-wide map keyed by session, so it dies with the child and nothing has to
release it. Claude's /compact is sent under a uuid the slot records, and only a
root result naming that input (or naming none) ends it; its outcome is read with
the ordinary result reading, so a stopped /compact is a cancellation.

* fix(native-chat): a command's settle answers its message before ending its turn

The two writes are not one batch. Writing the message's answer first means a
crash between them leaves a running command turn, which the stale-turn sweep
already settles, instead of an ended turn whose message reads as in flight
forever. The settle now writes only while the command turn is still running.

* fix(native-chat): "Worked for" counts from the handover, not the send

A message held behind /compact, or behind a cold start, used to count the wait
as the agent's work, although its row is drawn at the handover. Every handed-over
submission's turn, the command's own included, now starts at the handover row's
instant, falling back to the send time for a host that recorded none.

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

* test(native-chat): the interrupted create's own retry continues again

The merge of main's lease-latch fix replaced that test's retry of the interrupted create, under its
own operation id, with a fresh start whose result nothing read. That fresh start passes with the
released-reservation continuation deleted, so the case the fix exists for went untested. The retry
and its assertion are main's again.

* docs(native-chat): three comments that still had views starting agents

A start with nothing queued now comes from a command, goal change or rewind; an interrupted compaction
left alone would refuse every send, so no agent would ever start to finish it; and a current host
raises the unattached read refusal only once quit began, with the attach window belonging to an older
host.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a second Stop on a command ends its child; one compaction verdict for every provider

A Stop's note now names itself in its key, so a later Stop on a command still
running reads, from the journal, that the provider was already asked and never
answered, and stops the child instead of interrupting again. Nothing is held in
memory for it.

Adds the rule both translators will read a compaction's end by: only a
compaction the provider reported is a success; none after Orca's interrupt is a
cancellation; anything else is a failure. A real Claude capture, pinned as a
fixture, is why: a stopped /compact ends in the same success result as a
finished one.

* test(native-chat): a reader's open settles the turn a failed exit settlement left running

An exit whose settlement write failed leaves its turn running in the open journal. PR 1's open now
settles it, and this pins the two reads that reach it here: a reader reopening a chat the idle
sweep closed, and a read that opens the chat before the restart restore reaches it.

* test(native-chat): the view-start test's starting window outlasts two subscriptions on a loaded runner

A subscription reads the conversation before it returns, so under load the two views took longer
than the create child's 300 ms start, which then exited before the test checked that it had not.
The child now takes a second to fail.

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

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

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

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

* refactor(native-chat): the provider's translator ends a command's turn; the loop holds no command state

A conversation command is now a turn of the provider child's own journal
pipeline. The adapter-wide tracker, its promise and the loop's settle step are
gone.

- Codex: the translator claims the provider turn that carries the command, scopes
  its rows to the command's turn, and writes the command's end in the same batch
  that settles that turn. Codex's own compaction marker is the success row.
- Claude: the command's turn is the translator's open turn until the result that
  answers the /compact input ends it. The command's own frames, such as the
  continuation summary, its echo and "Compaction canceled.", draw nothing.
- Both read the end with the one compaction rule: success needs the provider's
  report of the compaction; none after Orca's interrupt is a cancellation.
- The message resolves at the provider's receipt, as any send does: the Codex
  ack, or the Claude slash-command waiter on its result. The host writes a
  command's end only when the provider never took it.
- The delivery loop stops while a command's turn runs, and every journal commit
  re-wakes it through the session's serialize, so an end that lands while a step
  decides to stop is never lost. A child that ends first is settled with it.

* test(native-chat): pin a command's end to real /compact frames and to each path it threads

The captured /compact frames drive the Claude translator's command turn: a
finished compaction ends as a success with only the separator drawn; a stopped
one ends as a cancellation with no failure row, and the next send answers in its
own turn; a result naming another input ends nothing. The command's end is
checked at each point the ordinary result path threads through: the reopen latch
after a failure, the settling of a child still working, the context facts the
result reports, and the provider's own error row.

On the host: a message held behind a command is handed over when the command
ends just as the loop stops for it, a refused command settles as a failure and
the loop moves on, and a Claude child that exits mid-command settles the command
and hands what waited to a fresh child.

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

* refactor(native-chat): drop the child-end waiter nothing waits on

A command no longer waits for its child here: its turn ends from the provider's frames or from
that child's settlement, and the delivery loop is woken by the commit. The waiter and its test
were left from the earlier shape.

* fix(native-chat): a command holds the queue only while its child runs it

The delivery loop stopped whenever the journal showed a command's turn running. When the
command's child ended and its settlement could not be written, that turn stayed running with
no child to end it, and the loop's gate kept it from ever starting the next child, which is
what settles a gone generation's leftovers. Every later send was held for good, and Stop had
no child to end.

The gate now holds only while the conversation has a child: with none, the command belongs to
a gone generation, and the loop's start settles it like any turn a dead child left running.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude /compact succeeds only on its compaction boundary

The command's evidence counted Claude's `compact_result: 'success'` status as the compaction
done. That status comes before the boundary that replaces the history, so a Stop landing
between the two read as a finished compaction even though no boundary was ever written. Only
the boundary now counts, as the rule for both providers states; the capture's finished
compaction carries one, so it still reads as a success.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude child's exit says why the turn it ended stopped

When a Claude child exited mid-/compact, the command showed "Worked for 0s" and no reason. The
child's translator ends its open turn the moment the exit is reported, stamped with the exit's
instant, so by the time the exit settlement ran nothing was running. The settlement recognises a
turn the exit already ended by that same instant, but the Claude lifecycle event dropped it on the
way to the host, which then used its own clock, matched nothing, and wrote no row. When the clocks
did agree, the row was scoped to the running turn, of which there was none, so it landed outside
the turn it explained.

The exit's instant now reaches the host, and the exit row belongs to the turn the exit ended:
still running, or ended by the translator at that instant.

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact draws below its live activity

A message sent while /compact runs waits on the host until the command ends. Both clients moved
it to the end of the transcript rows, but the running turn's live activity line ("Compacting the
conversation") draws after every row, so the waiting message sat between the command and its own
live status.

A row that is queued, and not what the live turn is for, now draws after that live activity: on
desktop outside the transcript window, below the activity line; on the phone in the list footer,
below the live status. A message whose own start is pending still draws above the activity that
start reports.

* fix(native-chat): only a running command holds a message below its live activity

A message is accepted, then handed over a moment later, and in between it reads as waiting. Every
message waiting behind a live turn drew below that turn's activity line, so an ordinary message
sent while the agent was working crossed below "Thinking" and jumped back up once it was handed
over, on desktop and phone. Only a conversation command's turn holds the queue on the host.

A message now waits below the live activity only while the running turn is one a command opened,
read from the entry that opened it. The phone test also typechecks, which the mobile test ratchet
requires.

* test(codex): the claim test names its notification params as a record

* test(native-chat): a read that reaches a crashed chat before the startup reconcile settles its turn

On desktop the chat on screen at relaunch reads before startup reconciles the leases, while the
dead process's lease still reads live. The open settles the turn it left running anyway, and the
restore that follows finds it settled.

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): drop the removed dispatch hold from six comments

A worker's session no longer takes a dispatch hold, and no release clock
rests a chat by visibility; the agent-launch comments, the abandon test,
the teardown test and the refusal census still said so.

* test(native-chat): rest the owner-status chat through the idle sweep, not a hold

The activation-gate test from #22808 put its chat at rest by holding and
releasing it, and passed the release-clock grace. This branch deleted both,
so the case threw before it reached its assertions. It now moves the host's
clock past the idle window and lets the sweep stop the agent and close the
conversation, then asserts the same owner answer and activation gate.

* fix(native-chat): show the structured pane's retrying line when a read fails

The read transport always hands the pane the host's words, so the error
state's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line, which showed only when there
were none, was never seen: the pane showed the host's text twice, as its
subtitle and on the status line under it. The structured pane now always
says its read keeps retrying, and the host's text stays on the status line.
The terminal-backed chat is unchanged.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a failed Codex compaction's late completion writes no turn of its own

Codex ends a failed turn with an error and then still completes it as failed.
The error settled the compaction and released its claim on the provider turn,
so the completion read that turn as an ordinary one and wrote a stray record.
The claim now lasts until the completion, which adds nothing to a command the
error already ended.

* test(native-chat): the mid-command exit case resumes its next child as a real one does

The case's fake started every child as a newly created thread with the same generation. The
store refuses a created link once the conversation has a thread, so the next child's start
failed and wrote its own error row, which landed before or after the case read the journal.
The next child now resumes the thread under its own generation, and the case reads the
journal once the waiting message is delivered, which also proves the loop moved on.

* test(native-chat): wait for a send's background start before the refusal oracle removes its store

An accepted send wakes the delivery loop, which starts the agent in the background. The oracle's teardown disposed the loop but did not wait for that start, so its lease write could create a temp file in the store directory while the directory was being removed, failing the test with ENOTEMPTY about one run in four. The teardown now drains tracked starts before it closes the journals.

* fix(native-chat): a start a message waited on gets one failure row, the delivery loop's

When a queued message's start failed, two writers could report it under the same row: the delivery loop, when the adapter settled the start without proving it, and the exit settlement, when the child's exit landed. The last one won, so the chat's row could name a different cause than the one the message was rejected with, or be written twice.

The exit settlement now writes the start's row only when no message is queued and the loop has not already recorded that start. A start for a command, goal change or rewind, with nothing queued, still gets its row from the exit.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact whose start failed says to run /compact again

The failure-words context named only /clear as a command to retry, so a
/compact whose agent failed to start read "Send your message to try again."
on its row, its rejected message and the command reply. The context now
carries any conversation command; the host derives it from the oldest
message still waiting on the provider, which is the one a failed start
fails first, and the /compact reply names it directly.

* fix(native-chat): a failed turn ends on its error instead of folding it

A settled turn folds to its answer: its last assistant prose row. Every
error-toned row was held outside the fold, so an error the agent recovered
from stayed on screen after the answer that followed it.

An error-toned system row now competes with prose to be the turn's answer,
last one wins: a turn that failed shows the error as its visible end with
earlier prose folded, and an error followed by an answer folds behind it.
Compaction reports keep never folding.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex /compact ends only on its turn's completion, below Codex's own error row

Since only turn/completed ends a Codex turn, Codex's turn-ending `error` is a row
inside the still-open command turn, and the failed completion that follows it is
the command's end: completed, outcome failure, at the completion's receipt time.
The command's own "Compaction failed" row was written on that completion too, so a
failed /compact read its reason twice.

The command turn now notes when Codex's turn-ending error for the turn it carries
was written as a row, and its end then adds no second row. A retried stream error
ends nothing and is not counted. The flag that let the error end the command and
kept the claim until the completion is gone with the error-driven end.

A test replays the captured failed compaction from the real app-server through a
claimed command turn.

* test(native-chat): main's crash-turn test states its row's turn, and a dead /compact settles on its recorded exit

Two tests the main merge brought together:
- The crash-turn test from #23456 writes a turn record through the event sink
  without options; every row here states its turn scope, and a turn record's is
  the thread.
- The /compact whose exit settlement could not be written no longer stays running
  until the next start: main now settles an open chat from the exit it recorded, so
  the command reads interrupted before the next message, which is then delivered.

* test(native-chat): main's new journal tests state each row's turn

The crash-turn, stale-turn and sink-queue tests main added wrote rows without a
turn scope, which every item write now states. Rows written inside a running
turn name that turn; the sink-queue batch and a send handed over with no live
turn name the thread.

* fix(native-chat): draw a queued turn's message after the earlier turn's rows

A message sent while A runs is written to the journal when it is sent.
When the provider queues it (Claude answers it after A), A's remaining
rows - its last tool run and its answer - are written after that
message, and the message's own turn opens only after them. Grouping put
those rows in A's turn, but the transcript still drew them in journal
order, below B's bubble and bar, where A's answer read as B's reply. This
is the residual #23671 left open.

A message that opened a turn now draws after the earlier turns' rows the
journal wrote after it, just before its own turn's rows
(nativeChatTurnDrawOrder, returned by nativeChatTurnMembership as
drawOrder). Desktop and mobile both draw in that order. A steer, and a
message that has opened no turn yet, stay where they were written. It
applies on hosts that state turn scopes and, through journal order, on
older ones.

* test(native-chat): run #23026's Stop tests against #23059's command turns

Two of #23026's tests call APIs #23059 changed, and failed after the
merge:

- codex-structured-conversation-stop: a compaction now goes through
  adapter.compact with the command run the host wrote (#23059), not a
  bare turn id, and answers with the provider's receipt. With the command
  claimed, a Stop that names no turn while the compaction's provider turn
  has not opened still interrupts nothing.
- main-agent-working-agreement: a provider row states its turn scope
  (#23059's appendItem contract); the retry and subagent rows are
  conversation-scoped.

* fix(native-chat): typecheck main's Stop and restore-grouping code against #23059

A Stop's compaction interrupt reads the narrowed requested turn, and the
restore-grouping test states whether each row reports its turn's outcome.

* test(native-chat): the Codex restore grouping test builds fold rows with the failure and compaction flags

* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): the conversation outlives its agent

Opening a chat no longer starts its agent. A conversation is reached through one host
accessor that opens its journal at rest, and a send is what starts the agent, through
the delivery loop. One idle sweep, every five minutes, stops an agent that has been
quiet for thirty minutes and owes no work, then drops an open journal handle that is
only a cache. Its record, tab, status row and readers stay.

- hold and release are no-ops; hold still builds the host for shipped mobile builds.
- The holders, the holds, the release clock and the exit respawn are deleted.
- Options, the model list, the goal and the context meter answer at rest; a model pick
  at rest is recorded as intent for the next start.
- Compact, rewind, clear and goal changes start the agent first. A send does too when
  a rewind is still in doubt after the conversation opens.
- Orchestration routes mail and group addresses on ownership (the record plus the chat
  tab), not on whether the process runs. An open dispatch keeps its worker running.
- The restart continuation is a send; Resume all holds each slot until the message is
  handed over or rejected.
- A read error never replaces a loaded transcript, and shows the host's own words.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer ends when the chat's agent starts again

The offer used to end only when the chat's newest user message changed,
because opening a chat started its agent and that start could not be told
apart from real activity. Opening a chat starts nothing now, so the host
reads the fact it already publishes: a chat's status row goes from not
host-owned to host-owned exactly when its agent is started. At that edge the
offer and any failure record for the chat are withdrawn, unless the start is
a resume action's own (its continuation is the oldest undelivered message).

A continuation and a message racing to be first are decided at acceptance:
the continuation is refused, quietly and with nothing filed, when any other
message was accepted since the restart. A failed continuation start leaves
the offer retryable, and each resume action sends its own message id.

Deleted: the newest-user-message comparison, its journal reader, the
continuation filter, and the failure ledger's own "answered by the chat"
check. The marker still carries its message id for one release, so the
previous build can read it.

* fix(runtime): end a transcript stream when its client unsubscribes

Desktop: the IPC subscription controller was dropped as soon as the streaming
handler returned, which for most streams is right after it binds. A later
runtime:unsubscribe then found nothing to abort, so the host kept the subscriber
and derived and sent every publish to a channel no one listened to. The controller
now lives until the renderer unsubscribes, resubscribes the same id, or goes away.

Mobile: disposing an agentSession.subscribe stream now sends agentSession.unsubscribe
with the stream's frame id, so the host ends that subscriber and leaves a sibling
stream on the same socket running. The direct path now passes the frame id the relay
path already passed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): one fact ends a restart offer: the chat moved on since the restart

The offer is live while no other message has been accepted in the chat since the
restart and its agent has not proved a start since. The offer list, the resume's
reservation check and the continuation's acceptance check all read that one fact,
so a message whose start then failed withdraws the offer too, and a stale click
finds nothing to act on.

The fact is read off the conversation's open handle, which the restart closed, so
it is retired durably whenever it may have changed: a message accepted, a start
proven. A close and reopen within the same run therefore cannot bring the offer
back. A continuation rejected before it reached the agent does not count, so a
retry after a failed start still runs.

Deleted: the quit-time gate on withdrawal, which changed nothing because the
withdrawal and the quit's own offer write share one queue; the per-action
"withdrawn" flag and the separate acceptance check it paired with.

* test(native-chat): an older build reads the restart offer this build records

The offer lives in a file the previous release reads after a downgrade. Pin that
against the pinned release's own capsule, and run the lane when the marker or the
capsule changes.

* fix(native-chat): read a restart offer against where the journal stood when it was taken

"Since the restart" was read off the conversation's open handle, which the idle
sweep closes: after a reopen, a message the user had already sent looked older
than the handle and the withdrawn offer came back.

The offer now records the journal position (epoch and sequence) at the moment
it is taken, and a message accepted after that position, or a journal on another
epoch, means the chat moved on. That is derived from the journal, so it holds
across any number of closes and reopens. An older build's offer has no position;
only a start withdraws it. Because the message half is now durable, the offer is
no longer rewritten in the recovery file on every accepted message; a proven
start still writes it, since only the host that saw the start knows of it.

* test(native-chat): wait for the listing's retire write before reading the recovery file

* refactor(native-chat): every journal row states which turn it belongs to

Rows gain a turn scope stated by the write that creates them: the open root
turn, or the conversation. A queued message takes its scope from its handover.
Rows stored before scopes existed are placed on replay by the root turn open
when they were created, so no persisted state is needed for them. Rewind keeps
each retained row's scope and producer, so a subagent's row stays its own.

* fix(native-chat): keep the terminal-backed chat's read error over its local echoes

Messages winning over a read error is right for the structured chat, whose read retries and whose
messages came from the transcript. The terminal-backed view assembles its list from local echoes
too (a launch prompt, a pending send), so a failed read there showed only those bubbles and no
error. Only the structured pane now keeps messages over an error.

* fix(native-chat): a start retries the exit settlement a failed journal write left owed

An agent exit whose journal settlement write failed releases the lease latched until a retry lands.
Reopening the chat used to be that retry; with reveal now only opening the journal, nothing retried
it before the next app launch, and every send was refused. The start the send needs now runs the
retry first, where the attach would.

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

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

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

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

* perf(native-chat): answer the owner check without opening the chat

Worktree activation calls agentSession.handoffStatus for every chat tab in the worktree, and the
answer comes from the session record alone. Reaching it through the accessor opened each resting
chat's journal (a full read, the crash-boundary write and a restored status publish), then kept it
open for the idle window. It now checks the record and the adapter's support, as before this series,
and opens nothing.

* fix(native-chat): a read waiting on the session lock opens nothing once quit began

The accessor checked for quit before queueing the open, so a read queued behind a session task ran
its open after teardown had begun and indexed a journal no teardown step would close. The check now
runs at the open itself.

* test(native-chat): pin stated turn scopes, the upcast of unscoped rows, and rewind attribution

* fix(native-chat): /compact is a message the chat sends, run as a turn of its own

The conversation command RPC now accepts /compact into the queue like any
send and answers once it is handed over. The delivery loop opens the command's
own turn, starts the provider on it, and waits for the provider's end off the
session's queue, so messages typed meanwhile are held and delivered after it,
even when it fails. It settles by re-reading the journal: a child that died
meanwhile already wrote the verdict. Stop ends the command at once. The 180 s
completion window, the unconfirmed row and the recovery of an older build's
compaction record are gone; that record no longer gates anything. On Codex the
provider turn the command opens is claimed into the command's turn.

* fix(native-chat): read a failed resume's chat before calling it retryable

Whether a failed resume is retryable is the offer's own rule: the chat has not moved on since the
restart, read from its journal. The failure list read it only for a chat already open, so once the
idle sweep closed a chat the user had moved on in, its failure showed Retry again, and the click did
nothing. The list now opens the failed chats first, as the offer list does.

* test(native-chat): type the provider event sink the settlement test reaches for

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

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

* fix(native-chat): say the structured read keeps trying only where it does

The structured pane's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line never showed: the view state filled in an
untranslated fallback whenever the read error had no text, and the empty state prefers any message.
The view state now leaves the message out, so the structured pane shows that line and the
terminal-backed pane its own translated one. Mobile's structured lane does not resubscribe after an
error frame, so it no longer makes the claim.

* fix(native-chat): rows group under the turn their record names, not the one above them

Each row's turn is the turn its stated scope names, anchored on the entry
that opened it, or on the turn itself when the provider opened it unasked.
So /compact groups its own rows and the previous turn is untouched, a message
typed into a running turn joins it, and a provider-resumed turn folds under
its own Worked-for. A row reporting how a turn ended, an error or the
compaction separator, never folds. Desktop and mobile read the same keys; a
host that states no scope keeps today's positional grouping.

* test(native-chat): await the send's settlement instead of polling for the start

The at-rest send tests polled for the provider start with vi.waitFor's one-second default, which a
loaded machine outran. They now await the host's own settlement of the message.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer resumes any time after the quit, and knows its own continuations

The continuation's message id was dated by the quit, and the ledger refuses a new id dated more than
a day back, so Resume or Retry a day after quitting was always refused (on main too). It is now
dated by the resume action.

Telling a rejected continuation from the user's own message read the operation ledger, whose rows
expire after about a day; after that a failed resume stopped being retryable. The offer now
records the continuation each action sends on its own capsule entry, bounded to the newest 16, so
the ids end with the offer. The ledger read is deleted.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact is not a request the sidebar, notifications or restart resume report

The sidebar's prompt, preview, verdict and instant, the turn-completion feed,
and the restart-resume marker read past a conversation command and its turn to
the last real request, so a /compact neither notifies nor re-dates the row,
and a command in flight is never offered as work to resume. An older client
shown a command's turn in the legacy form names the session's own agent.

* fix(orchestration): route no mail to a structured worker its orchestration released

A structured worker is routed on ownership, and a resting worker's lease is released, so ownership
held while its chat tab stayed listed. A worker the coordinator abandoned and then released, found
at rest by the release, therefore still took peer mail and @worktree: broadcasts, and each one
restarted its agent. Routing now also reads the orchestration's own resource row: once it is
released, direct mail, group addressing and worker-show's addressable answer drop the worker, as
they would a terminal worker whose terminal closed. The chat tab stays, and nothing new is stored.

* fix(native-chat): a failed retry names the user's prompt, not Orca's continuation

A resume's continuation is written to the chat before its start, so after a failed attempt the chat's
newest user message is that rejected continuation. A second failure then showed Orca's own restart
text as the chat's prompt. A retry now keeps the prompt its first failure named.

* test(native-chat): pin what a conversation command's admission refuses at rest and at handover

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

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

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

* fix(orchestration): read the released row optionally, as the authority does

worker-show's observation called the row lookup directly, which a runtime double without it threw on
and failed the structured tab-retirement release.

* chore(native-chat): one import per module and no unexplained casts in the turn-scope changes

* test(claude): pin which turn a Claude row joins, including a subagent's after the turn ends

* fix(native-chat): the status bar drops a restart offer the chat moved on from

The renderer re-read the host's restart offer only when a failed chat showed activity, so after a
message withdrew a pending offer the host answered no chats while the status bar kept counting one,
and clicking it opened nothing. The same watch now covers pending offers: a status change in an
offered chat asks the host again, once.

* fix(native-chat): a refused steer is read from the turn its handover named

The latest-request reader decided whether a refused send had joined a running turn by comparing
host clocks: its handover time against the previous turn's end. The handover row now states the
turn it delivered into, so the reader reads that instead and the clock comparison goes. A journal
written before handover rows stated a turn is scoped on replay from the turn open when each row
was written, which can differ from the clock reading only when a send and a turn's end share a
millisecond.

* fix(mobile): the native-chat controller contract carries the turn journal

The controller and overlay already pass nativeChatTurnJournal, but the
contract type never declared it, so mobile failed to typecheck.

* fix(native-chat): the live turn is the running turn, not the newest user row

A turn the provider opened on its own (a background wake, a resumed turn)
anchors on its own record, but the list still treated the newest user row
as the live turn. While such a turn ran, the settled user turn before it
lost its duration and the running turn's own rows were drawn as settled,
so its tool calls lost their live state.

nativeChatTurnMembership now answers both questions from the turn record:
each row's turn, and the live turn (the running root turn's anchor, else
the newest user row, which is also all an unscoped host has). Desktop and
mobile key liveness, the timing clock and the live status's row on it.

* test(native-chat): a turn the provider opened keeps its own clock

Pins that the local turn clock follows the live turn, so a wake after a
settled turn does not restart that turn's clock when no host durations
are recorded.

* fix(native-chat): a running turn no message opened draws its status on no row

Its live status belongs to the transcript-tail indicator alone. Once it
settles, its duration draws at its first row as before; a running turn a
message opened still draws on that message.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(native-chat): a roster of idle or finished children does not keep an agent awake

The sweep reads owed background work through the shared child-work liveness that upstream's
release clock adopted; a child that went idle or finished is not work the agent still owes.

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

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

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

* fix(orchestration): a task dispatched into a resting structured worker keeps it running

The sweep's open-dispatch check read only the worker-start dispatch that owns the worker's terminal
resource, so a task later dispatched to the same worker (orchestration dispatch --to, which writes a
dispatch with no worker row) did not count: after thirty quiet minutes the worker was stopped while
that task was open, and its coordinator read exited. Any unsettled dispatch addressed to the worker's
process incarnation now counts, derived from the existing rows.

* fix(native-chat): a command's wait ends when its child does

The delivery loop waited for a /compact only on the adapter's compaction
tracker, which learns of the child's end only on some exit paths: a Codex
exit or close, and a Claude close, never reach it. The wait then never
ended, so nothing queued behind the command was delivered again, Stop had
no child to answer through, and the tracker's leftover entry refused the
next /compact.

Every way a child ends passes endProviderChild, so the host now offers a
per-child end signal there. The loop races the tracker against it (the
dead-generation settlement has already written the command's verdict),
and on that end asks every adapter to release the command, so a later
command runs and no later provider turn is claimed into the dead one.
The adapters' own exit-time releases were unreachable (Codex) or covered
one path of several (Claude), and are removed.

The Codex RPC test harness moves to its own module so the exit can be
driven through the real adapter's connection callback.

* fix(native-chat): keep refusing sends during a command on an older host

An older host's controller still refuses a send while a conversation
command runs, so dropping the client's block turned every message typed
during /compact into a 'not sent' row with Retry there. The block stays
for hosts that do not run the command as a send-path turn, and goes only
for those that do.

The signal is one the client already holds: a host that runs /compact on
the send path states a turn scope on every journal row it writes, the
same fact turn membership uses to tell it from an older host. Both now
read it from one predicate. On an empty conversation, or one whose rows
all predate the upgrade, the signal is absent until the command's own
entry streams in, so that brief window keeps the old local refusal; no
capability or wire field is added.

* docs(native-chat): comments stop describing the hold this PR removed

Eight comments still justified orderings and teardown choices by a viewer or dispatch hold that
pinned the provider child. Nothing holds any more; the orderings stand for the binding's redrive
subscription and parked mail, and a chat's agent runs from a send until the idle sweep rests it.
Comment-only.

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer keeps the start its own continuation made

Whose start ended an offer was decided at read time, from whether the offer's continuation was
still the queued message. Once the provider refused that continuation, the child it had started
read as someone else's start, so the offer ended and its failure showed no Retry. The delivery
loop now records which queued message a start is for on the in-memory child, and the child's end
carries it; the offer counts a start as its own when that message is one of its continuations.

* fix(native-chat): a rewound turn still names the message that opened it

A Codex rewind rebuilds the epoch without submissions, so each sent message survives only under
its provider key. The kept turn records still named the submission key, so each turn anchored on
itself and its rows grouped apart from the message that opened it. The rewind now renames the
turn's opener along with the message.

* fix(native-chat): Stop ends only the command it names

Stop on a command turn abandoned whatever compaction the session had pending, so a late Stop for
an earlier /compact cancelled the one running now. The tracker now ends a command only when the
Stop names its turn, and the cancel reply reports whether it did.

* fix(native-chat): an agent gets a full idle window after its owed work ends

The sweep measured quiet only from the last journal row, so once a subagent, command, monitor or
dispatch that had outlived the window ended, the agent was stopped at the next tick. A child can
read done before the lead's wake-up turn writes anything, and stopping in that gap loses the
wake-up. The sweep now counts owed work it observes as activity, which gives the agent the full
window afterwards, as the release clock it replaced did.

* test(claude): the options-read fixture runs a live child

The fixture marked its conversation running with a hasProviderChild field the
session type does not have, so the read took the at-rest path and refused a
session with no record. It now carries a child, which is what the read checks.

* test(native-chat): host tests reach its collaborators through a typed seam

The rest-test rig and three test files read the host's private members with
Reflect.get and cast the result. The host now exposes one test-only accessor,
collaboratorsForTests(), and the subscribers class a subscriberCountForTests()
beside its existing retainedActivityCountForTests(), so the tests are checked
against the real types and the casts are gone.

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

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

* refactor(orchestration): one owner answers a structured worker's custody

Routing, group addressing, worker-show and the idle sweep each composed their own reading of
whether orchestration still holds a structured worker, so each new obligation or retirement state
had to be added to every reader. structured-worker-custody now derives both answers from the
worker-terminal list state coordinators see in worker-list: addressable is owned and not released,
and owed work is an active custody or an unsettled task dispatched to the same incarnation. The
owner's state is read through the remote dispatch attachment too, as the terminal transfer lookup
already does. Behaviour is unchanged; a settled worker awaiting its coordinator still rests.

* refactor(orchestration): owed work is an open dispatch on the worker's incarnation

A supervised worker's own dispatch context stays open exactly while the worker is active, so the
separate active-custody branch only repeated it. Owed work is now one fact, which also states the
policy that a worker awaiting its coordinator's decision may rest, and both custody decisions are
written once at the top of the module.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer knows its continuations by a tag in their id

The offer recorded each continuation id in a list on its capsule entry, capped at 16, and a running
action's id in memory. Both could disagree with the journal: past the cap an old rejected
continuation read as the chat moving on, and a crash during a retry restored the failure's older
entry, which lacked the retry's id. Each continuation id now carries a tag derived from the offer
(its teardown and chat), then the action's own part, so any continuation of this offer, queued or
rejected, is recognised from the journal row and the marker alone. The persisted list, its cap and
the in-memory action map are deleted; the agent-start withdrawal keeps an offer whose own
continuation the start was for, read against the stored marker.

* test(runtime): the legacy-worker reveal test judges its stale snapshot inside the wait

The tui-idle probe reads through readTerminal, which now awaits the structured
worker check before the PTY read, so the probe's snapshot request starts a
microtask later. vi.waitFor missed it on its first check and polled again at
50 ms, the same moment the wait's own 50 ms timeout fired. The stale snapshot
then resolved after the wait had already timed out, so the test passed without
judging it, and the rejection landed before any handler was attached. Vitest
reported that as an unhandled error and failed the shard.

Polling every 1 ms sees the request within a few ms, so the snapshot is judged
while the wait is still pending.

* fix(native-chat): a message held behind /compact is drawn where it was handed over

A message typed while /compact runs was drawn above the compaction's result, between
itself and its own answer. The reducer kept every item at the sequence and timestamp of
the row that created it, and a queued message is created at acceptance, long before the
command it waits behind writes its result. The phone orders by that sequence and the
desktop by that timestamp, so both put the message first.

A queued message now takes its position from its handover row, the same row that already
states its turn scope. Everything the agent did before the handover, a command it waited
behind included, draws above it. This holds for every held message, not only /compact's,
and needs no client change: every client, older builds included, reads the position the
host publishes. A live batch already carries the item when its dispatch row lands, and
history pages cut the reduced timeline by sequence, so paging stays contiguous.

* fix(native-chat): a phone's send during /compact answers without waiting out the compaction

A client that predates accepted-send replies, which is every phone build, has its send
reply held until the host hands the message over. A message sent during /compact is not
handed over until the compaction ends, so the phone's 15 s request timeout fired first
and showed the message as unconfirmed.

That wait now also ends once the message is queued behind a running command. This is
read from the journal's running turn and needs no new state. Every other wait still
ends at the handover: behind a starting child or an ordinary turn, and for restart
resume, the command front door and orchestration, which keep the plain handover point.

* perf(native-chat): a rewind places provider items with one pass over the merged rows

A Codex rewind gives each provider item the old epoch never held the turn record for its
provider turn. It found that record by scanning every merged row, restoring each row's
body, once per provider item. That is quadratic, and it runs on the host's main thread
up to the journal's 10,000-row cap, twice per rewind. A rewind record written before
rows carried their scope holds no scope for any provider item, so it paid the full cost.

The merge now indexes turn records by provider turn id once, keeping the first match as
the scan did, and each provider item looks its record up.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact is drawn after it until it is sent

A message sent while /compact runs is placed where it was handed over. It was still
drawn where it was accepted until then. /compact writes its result one step before the
handover, so for that step the waiting message sat above the compaction's separator.

A message the host accepted but has not handed over is not part of the conversation
yet, so both clients now draw it after everything the agent has done. The shared
projection moves it to the end, which is the order the phone draws. The desktop ranks
it with the other not-yet-sent rows, after the streaming preview. At handover it takes
its place from its handover row, which is also after the separator, so it never
appears above the compaction it waited for.

* fix(native-chat): the idle sweep reads owed work every tick

Owed work counted as activity, but the sweep read it only once the idle window had elapsed, so it
refreshed the clock at most once a window. Work that ended just before the next read left the
agent to be stopped at that read, moments after the work ended, which is the gap the refresh was
meant to cover. The sweep now reads owed work on every tick for a started agent, so the window
always runs from the last tick that saw work owed.

* fix(native-chat): a continuation handed to the agent stays sent

The offer read its own continuation as not reaching the agent while its dispatch was pending, which
also covered one already handed over and still unanswered. When the wait for that answer ended first,
the failure it filed read as retryable, and a retry sent a second continuation to an agent that may
have acted on the first. Only a continuation still queued, or rejected, is now read as unsent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a command ends only by its own provider answer or its child's end

Stop no longer settles a conversation command. It interrupts it like any turn,
and when the provider cannot take that (Codex has not opened the command's turn
yet, or Claude refuses the interrupt) it stops the child, whose dead-generation
settlement writes the verdict.

The pending command now lives on the provider child's own session instead of an
adapter-wide map keyed by session, so it dies with the child and nothing has to
release it. Claude's /compact is sent under a uuid the slot records, and only a
root result naming that input (or naming none) ends it; its outcome is read with
the ordinary result reading, so a stopped /compact is a cancellation.

* fix(native-chat): a command's settle answers its message before ending its turn

The two writes are not one batch. Writing the message's answer first means a
crash between them leaves a running command turn, which the stale-turn sweep
already settles, instead of an ended turn whose message reads as in flight
forever. The settle now writes only while the command turn is still running.

* fix(native-chat): "Worked for" counts from the handover, not the send

A message held behind /compact, or behind a cold start, used to count the wait
as the agent's work, although its row is drawn at the handover. Every handed-over
submission's turn, the command's own included, now starts at the handover row's
instant, falling back to the send time for a host that recorded none.

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

* test(native-chat): the interrupted create's own retry continues again

The merge of main's lease-latch fix replaced that test's retry of the interrupted create, under its
own operation id, with a fresh start whose result nothing read. That fresh start passes with the
released-reservation continuation deleted, so the case the fix exists for went untested. The retry
and its assertion are main's again.

* docs(native-chat): three comments that still had views starting agents

A start with nothing queued now comes from a command, goal change or rewind; an interrupted compaction
left alone would refuse every send, so no agent would ever start to finish it; and a current host
raises the unattached read refusal only once quit began, with the attach window belonging to an older
host.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a second Stop on a command ends its child; one compaction verdict for every provider

A Stop's note now names itself in its key, so a later Stop on a command still
running reads, from the journal, that the provider was already asked and never
answered, and stops the child instead of interrupting again. Nothing is held in
memory for it.

Adds the rule both translators will read a compaction's end by: only a
compaction the provider reported is a success; none after Orca's interrupt is a
cancellation; anything else is a failure. A real Claude capture, pinned as a
fixture, is why: a stopped /compact ends in the same success result as a
finished one.

* test(native-chat): a reader's open settles the turn a failed exit settlement left running

An exit whose settlement write failed leaves its turn running in the open journal. PR 1's open now
settles it, and this pins the two reads that reach it here: a reader reopening a chat the idle
sweep closed, and a read that opens the chat before the restart restore reaches it.

* test(native-chat): the view-start test's starting window outlasts two subscriptions on a loaded runner

A subscription reads the conversation before it returns, so under load the two views took longer
than the create child's 300 ms start, which then exited before the test checked that it had not.
The child now takes a second to fail.

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

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

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

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

* refactor(native-chat): the provider's translator ends a command's turn; the loop holds no command state

A conversation command is now a turn of the provider child's own journal
pipeline. The adapter-wide tracker, its promise and the loop's settle step are
gone.

- Codex: the translator claims the provider turn that carries the command, scopes
  its rows to the command's turn, and writes the command's end in the same batch
  that settles that turn. Codex's own compaction marker is the success row.
- Claude: the command's turn is the translator's open turn until the result that
  answers the /compact input ends it. The command's own frames, such as the
  continuation summary, its echo and "Compaction canceled.", draw nothing.
- Both read the end with the one compaction rule: success needs the provider's
  report of the compaction; none after Orca's interrupt is a cancellation.
- The message resolves at the provider's receipt, as any send does: the Codex
  ack, or the Claude slash-command waiter on its result. The host writes a
  command's end only when the provider never took it.
- The delivery loop stops while a command's turn runs, and every journal commit
  re-wakes it through the session's serialize, so an end that lands while a step
  decides to stop is never lost. A child that ends first is settled with it.

* test(native-chat): pin a command's end to real /compact frames and to each path it threads

The captured /compact frames drive the Claude translator's command turn: a
finished compaction ends as a success with only the separator drawn; a stopped
one ends as a cancellation with no failure row, and the next send answers in its
own turn; a result naming another input ends nothing. The command's end is
checked at each point the ordinary result path threads through: the reopen latch
after a failure, the settling of a child still working, the context facts the
result reports, and the provider's own error row.

On the host: a message held behind a command is handed over when the command
ends just as the loop stops for it, a refused command settles as a failure and
the loop moves on, and a Claude child that exits mid-command settles the command
and hands what waited to a fresh child.

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

* refactor(native-chat): drop the child-end waiter nothing waits on

A command no longer waits for its child here: its turn ends from the provider's frames or from
that child's settlement, and the delivery loop is woken by the commit. The waiter and its test
were left from the earlier shape.

* fix(native-chat): a command holds the queue only while its child runs it

The delivery loop stopped whenever the journal showed a command's turn running. When the
command's child ended and its settlement could not be written, that turn stayed running with
no child to end it, and the loop's gate kept it from ever starting the next child, which is
what settles a gone generation's leftovers. Every later send was held for good, and Stop had
no child to end.

The gate now holds only while the conversation has a child: with none, the command belongs to
a gone generation, and the loop's start settles it like any turn a dead child left running.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude /compact succeeds only on its compaction boundary

The command's evidence counted Claude's `compact_result: 'success'` status as the compaction
done. That status comes before the boundary that replaces the history, so a Stop landing
between the two read as a finished compaction even though no boundary was ever written. Only
the boundary now counts, as the rule for both providers states; the capture's finished
compaction carries one, so it still reads as a success.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude child's exit says why the turn it ended stopped

When a Claude child exited mid-/compact, the command showed "Worked for 0s" and no reason. The
child's translator ends its open turn the moment the exit is reported, stamped with the exit's
instant, so by the time the exit settlement ran nothing was running. The settlement recognises a
turn the exit already ended by that same instant, but the Claude lifecycle event dropped it on the
way to the host, which then used its own clock, matched nothing, and wrote no row. When the clocks
did agree, the row was scoped to the running turn, of which there was none, so it landed outside
the turn it explained.

The exit's instant now reaches the host, and the exit row belongs to the turn the exit ended:
still running, or ended by the translator at that instant.

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact draws below its live activity

A message sent while /compact runs waits on the host until the command ends. Both clients moved
it to the end of the transcript rows, but the running turn's live activity line ("Compacting the
conversation") draws after every row, so the waiting message sat between the command and its own
live status.

A row that is queued, and not what the live turn is for, now draws after that live activity: on
desktop outside the transcript window, below the activity line; on the phone in the list footer,
below the live status. A message whose own start is pending still draws above the activity that
start reports.

* fix(native-chat): only a running command holds a message below its live activity

A message is accepted, then handed over a moment later, and in between it reads as waiting. Every
message waiting behind a live turn drew below that turn's activity line, so an ordinary message
sent while the agent was working crossed below "Thinking" and jumped back up once it was handed
over, on desktop and phone. Only a conversation command's turn holds the queue on the host.

A message now waits below the live activity only while the running turn is one a command opened,
read from the entry that opened it. The phone test also typechecks, which the mobile test ratchet
requires.

* test(codex): the claim test names its notification params as a record

* test(native-chat): a read that reaches a crashed chat before the startup reconcile settles its turn

On desktop the chat on screen at relaunch reads before startup reconciles the leases, while the
dead process's lease still reads live. The open settles the turn it left running anyway, and the
restore that follows finds it settled.

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): drop the removed dispatch hold from six comments

A worker's session no longer takes a dispatch hold, and no release clock
rests a chat by visibility; the agent-launch comments, the abandon test,
the teardown test and the refusal census still said so.

* test(native-chat): rest the owner-status chat through the idle sweep, not a hold

The activation-gate test from #22808 put its chat at rest by holding and
releasing it, and passed the release-clock grace. This branch deleted both,
so the case threw before it reached its assertions. It now moves the host's
clock past the idle window and lets the sweep stop the agent and close the
conversation, then asserts the same owner answer and activation gate.

* fix(native-chat): show the structured pane's retrying line when a read fails

The read transport always hands the pane the host's words, so the error
state's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line, which showed only when there
were none, was never seen: the pane showed the host's text twice, as its
subtitle and on the status line under it. The structured pane now always
says its read keeps retrying, and the host's text stays on the status line.
The terminal-backed chat is unchanged.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a failed Codex compaction's late completion writes no turn of its own

Codex ends a failed turn with an error and then still completes it as failed.
The error settled the compaction and released its claim on the provider turn,
so the completion read that turn as an ordinary one and wrote a stray record.
The claim now lasts until the completion, which adds nothing to a command the
error already ended.

* test(native-chat): the mid-command exit case resumes its next child as a real one does

The case's fake started every child as a newly created thread with the same generation. The
store refuses a created link once the conversation has a thread, so the next child's start
failed and wrote its own error row, which landed before or after the case read the journal.
The next child now resumes the thread under its own generation, and the case reads the
journal once the waiting message is delivered, which also proves the loop moved on.

* test(native-chat): wait for a send's background start before the refusal oracle removes its store

An accepted send wakes the delivery loop, which starts the agent in the background. The oracle's teardown disposed the loop but did not wait for that start, so its lease write could create a temp file in the store directory while the directory was being removed, failing the test with ENOTEMPTY about one run in four. The teardown now drains tracked starts before it closes the journals.

* fix(native-chat): a start a message waited on gets one failure row, the delivery loop's

When a queued message's start failed, two writers could report it under the same row: the delivery loop, when the adapter settled the start without proving it, and the exit settlement, when the child's exit landed. The last one won, so the chat's row could name a different cause than the one the message was rejected with, or be written twice.

The exit settlement now writes the start's row only when no message is queued and the loop has not already recorded that start. A start for a command, goal change or rewind, with nothing queued, still gets its row from the exit.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact whose start failed says to run /compact again

The failure-words context named only /clear as a command to retry, so a
/compact whose agent failed to start read "Send your message to try again."
on its row, its rejected message and the command reply. The context now
carries any conversation command; the host derives it from the oldest
message still waiting on the provider, which is the one a failed start
fails first, and the /compact reply names it directly.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex /compact ends only on its turn's completion, below Codex's own error row

Since only turn/completed ends a Codex turn, Codex's turn-ending `error` is a row
inside the still-open command turn, and the failed completion that follows it is
the command's end: completed, outcome failure, at the completion's receipt time.
The command's own "Compaction failed" row was written on that completion too, so a
failed /compact read its reason twice.

The command turn now notes when Codex's turn-ending error for the turn it carries
was written as a row, and its end then adds no second row. A retried stream error
ends nothing and is not counted. The flag that let the error end the command and
kept the claim until the completion is gone with the error-driven end.

A test replays the captured failed compaction from the real app-server through a
claimed command turn.

* test(native-chat): main's crash-turn test states its row's turn, and a dead /compact settles on its recorded exit

Two tests the main merge brought together:
- The crash-turn test from #23456 writes a turn record through the event sink
  without options; every row here states its turn scope, and a turn record's is
  the thread.
- The /compact whose exit settlement could not be written no longer stays running
  until the next start: main now settles an open chat from the exit it recorded, so
  the command reads interrupted before the next message, which is then delivered.

* test(native-chat): main's new journal tests state each row's turn

The crash-turn, stale-turn and sink-queue tests main added wrote rows without a
turn scope, which every item write now states. Rows written inside a running
turn name that turn; the sink-queue batch and a send handed over with no live
turn name the thread.

* fix(native-chat): draw a queued turn's message after the earlier turn's rows

A message sent while A runs is written to the journal when it is sent.
When the provider queues it (Claude answers it after A), A's remaining
rows - its last tool run and its answer - are written after that
message, and the message's own turn opens only after them. Grouping put
those rows in A's turn, but the transcript still drew them in journal
order, below B's bubble and bar, where A's answer read as B's reply. This
is the residual #23671 left open.

A message that opened a turn now draws after the earlier turns' rows the
journal wrote after it, just before its own turn's rows
(nativeChatTurnDrawOrder, returned by nativeChatTurnMembership as
drawOrder). Desktop and mobile both draw in that order. A steer, and a
message that has opened no turn yet, stay where they were written. It
applies on hosts that state turn scopes and, through journal order, on
older ones.

* test(native-chat): run #23026's Stop tests against #23059's command turns

Two of #23026's tests call APIs #23059 changed, and failed after the
merge:

- codex-structured-conversation-stop: a compaction now goes through
  adapter.compact with the command run the host wrote (#23059), not a
  bare turn id, and answers with the provider's receipt. With the command
  claimed, a Stop that names no turn while the compaction's provider turn
  has not opened still interrupts nothing.
- main-agent-working-agreement: a provider row states its turn scope
  (#23059's appendItem contract); the retry and subagent rows are
  conversation-scoped.

* fix(native-chat): typecheck main's Stop and restore-grouping code against #23059

A Stop's compaction interrupt reads the narrowed requested turn, and the
restore-grouping test states whether each row reports its turn's outcome.

Brennan Benson 62e3a5a9a2 fix(codex): turning Codex off per agent keeps its hook entry off (#23667)
* refactor(agent-hooks): one predicate for whether an agent's status hooks are on

"Global switch on and this agent not turned off" was spelled out separately
in the startup controls, the settings reconcile, the retained-home
reconcile, the WSL preflight RPC, the CLI preflight and the OpenCode plugin
selection. They now share one function, in a module light enough for the
CLI's per-launch Codex preflight to load. The PTY spawn env derives the
Codex flag from the switch and opt-out list it already carries, the same way
it does for OpenCode and Pi, instead of receiving a second copy.

* fix(codex): launch and resume prep honour Codex's per-agent hook opt-out

Turning Codex off in the per-agent hook settings removes Orca's Codex hook
entry, but launch prep and session resume read only the global hooks switch,
so the next Codex launch or resume wrote the entry straight back into the
real ~/.codex or the account's home. Both now read the per-agent predicate,
which the PTY spawn env and startup already honoured.

* fix(codex): turning Codex off per agent clears the real ~/.codex entry

While the real-home lane owns ~/.codex/hooks.json, the legacy system-home
sweep stands down. That gate read only the global switch, so turning Codex
off per agent ran remove() with the sweep still suppressed and left Orca's
entry in the real ~/.codex. The gate now reads the per-agent predicate, the
same as turning every hook off.

* test(codex): cover the system ~/.codex sweep gate for Codex turned off

The gate that lets the legacy system-home sweep run was an inline closure in
startup, so reverting it to the global switch left CI green. It is now a
pure function beside the gate it feeds, with a table test and a remove()
test on a seeded ~/.codex: turning Codex off strips Orca's entry and keeps
user hooks; with Codex on the entry stays.

* fix(cli): keep the agent-status hooks predicate loadable by the packaged CLI

The CLI's prepare-codex handler imported the predicate from src/main, but
the Electron build rebuilds out/main from its declared entries only, so the
packaged `orca agent hooks` commands could not load it (package jobs and the
CLI bundle-parity test were red). The predicate reads only settings, so it
now lives in src/shared, which the CLI compiles itself.

Neil 31012aeb09 test: remove assertion-free probes, copied inventories and export-shape checks (#23816)
Second audit wave, targeting three more junk patterns:

- assertion-free cases that run code and assert nothing, so they pass no
  matter what the code does;
- inventory literals re-typed from a production declaration, where the only
  way the assertion can fail is someone editing one of the two copies;
- export key-set and export-shape loops (`typeof x === 'function'` over every
  export) that restate what TypeScript already enforces.

Yield is much smaller than wave 1 on purpose: the assertion-free scanner has
a high false-positive rate, because many flagged blocks assert through a
shared helper or their oracle is "this must not throw". Those were kept.

`mobileWebCheckArgs` in `config/scripts/run-mobile-web-app-checks.mjs` is
de-exported — after the inventory comparison went away, nothing outside the
module read it.

Brennan BensonandClaude c49388cd33 fix(native-chat): Stop is there from the moment a message is sent (#23026)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A view's child that dies while a sent message waits settles that message only when it died starting
and no child has taken its place: a proven child's crash, or a second start since, gets the message
delivered. The resume offer names the handed-over message, never a newer one still queued.

* test(native-chat): the failed-start pins fail on what the message became, not on a timeout

* test(orchestration): the preamble's host stub is typed, not cast

The preamble send now takes only what it reads of the host, the send, the settlement wait and the
record's fence, so its test builds that host with real types instead of `as never`.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop that names no turn stops what the conversation has in flight

Between handing a message to the agent and the agent opening its turn, there is no turn id a
client could name, so a Stop in that gap was refused as "already finished" while the agent went
on to answer. A cancel's turn id is now an optional precondition instead of its target: with
none, the host withdraws what is queued and, when the journal still reads working, asks the
adapter to stop whatever the child has in flight. Claude's interrupt is session-scoped, so it
is guarded by fence and acquisition generation rather than a turn identity. Codex interrupts
the turn its latest turn/start answered with until the journal shows one.

A cancel that names its turn behaves exactly as before.

* fix(native-chat): Stop is there from the moment a message is sent

The composer showed Stop only once the agent had opened a turn, so for the second or two after a
send the chat read "thinking" with no way to stop it. Against a host that takes a Stop naming no
turn, Stop now shows whenever the chat reads working (a turn, a queued message, or a handed-over
one still unanswered) or this client still has a message on its way. Pressing it, or Escape,
first drops every outbox entry the journal does not hold yet, so nothing goes out after the
Stop, then sends the conversation-wide cancel. A send already on its way reaches the host ahead
of the cancel, which withdraws it there. Against an older host Stop still needs a running turn.

The unconfirmed-send probe moves into its own hook so the outbox hook stays in budget.

* fix(native-chat): Stop before a turn is gated on its own host capability

A host that accepts sends first (agent-session.accepted-send.v1) can still predate the cancel
that names no turn and would refuse it as invalid, since clients and hosts ship independently.
Hosts that take that cancel now advertise agent-session.conversation-stop.v1, and the renderer
shows Stop before a turn opens, and sends the no-turn cancel, only to a host advertising it.
Every other host keeps a Stop that needs, and names, a running turn.

The host capability probe the accepted-send hook used is generalized so both read one path.

* test(native-chat): a build advertises conversation stop exactly where its cancel may name no turn

* fix(native-chat): a view never restarts a chat whose last start failed

A Claude chat whose CLI exits during startup left one red row per start, and
every time a view bound to it (the chat opening right after its create died,
or the user switching back to it) the hold started the CLI again, so the same
launch-failure row repeated. Only a send retries a failed start now, the same
rule provider-exit recovery already applied; the rule lives in one predicate
the hold, exit recovery and the delivery loop share.

* test(native-chat): start the child the loop waits on with an attach, not a second view

A view no longer starts a child whose last start failed, so the R2 case that
waits on a child started since the failure now gets that child from a client
attach, the one non-send starter left.

* fix(native-chat): settle a gone generation's turn wherever a conversation opens

A send that opens a chat this process had not read yet (after a crash, from a
phone or the CLI) went through the delivery open, which never settled what the
dead generation left running; only the read restore and a successful acquire
did. When the send's start then failed, the turn stayed running for every
reader. The settlement now runs in the one journal open, at the crash boundary,
for every opener except an acquisition, which settles from the evidence it read
before its reserve; the read restore's separate step is gone.

* test(native-chat): prove the next child's start settles the turn an earlier child left

The R1 case lost its only settlement assertion when the latch it checked was
deleted. It now seeds the running turn the earlier child left and asserts it
ends at the exit's receipt, with the exit's row, before the message is handed
to the new child.

* test(native-chat): count a failed start's rows by row, not by text

Comparing the set of texts passed when two different rows carried the same
words, which is the duplicate the test exists to catch.

* test(native-chat): give the failed-start and stale-turn waits a loaded runner's budget

* test(native-chat): pin the open's and the send's start and row counts, however the view binds

Opening a fresh chat whose starts fail makes one start and one row, with two
views bound before or after the create's child died; one send makes one more
of each.

* fix(native-chat): settle a gone generation's turn at every open but an acquisition's

The journal open skipped the settlement whenever the lease read reserved or
live, to leave an acquisition's own open to the acquisition. But a lease a
crashed process left in recovery also reads live, until the next acquire
resolves it. A send that opened such a chat, from a phone or the CLI after a
crash on a host that could not prove the old owner gone, skipped the
settlement; when its start then failed, the dead turn stayed running for every
reader. The acquisition now says it is the opener, and every other open
settles, whatever the lease still claims.

* test(native-chat): hold the create's start open until the views bind

The "view binds while the create is still starting" case gave the create a
300 ms head start and asserted the views bound before it died. On a loaded
runner the holds took longer, the create's exit landed first, and the case
failed its own precondition. The create's initialize now waits on a gate the
test releases once the views are bound.

* fix(native-chat): Stop reads the one working rule every session list reads

While Claude retries a rate-limited request it never echoes the message, so no
turn opens: the sidebar read Working from the unanswered send while the composer
showed Send. The chat's working state, the host's session-list status and the
host's no-turn Stop check now call one shared rule instead of three copies.

* test(native-chat): a rate-limit retry pins only that no turn opens, not how its rows are kept

* fix(native-chat): Stop leaves a message waiting on its Retry, and does not show for one

A send that failed holds the queue until the user retries it, and one the host restarted under is
parked the same way. Stop counted both as still on their way, so it showed in an idle chat and
could never go away, and pressing it dropped the failed message along with its Retry.

* test(native-chat): the chat's Stop and a session list read the main agent alike over their own copies

The chat reduces its stream and a list reads the status feed. Driven through the real host for a
rate-limit retry with no turn, a subagent still running after the main turn, and the handed-over
child exiting.

* refactor(mobile): the chat reads the main agent's working state through the shared rule

Behaviour is unchanged: the same two terms, now from the one function the host projection and the
desktop chat read.

* fix(codex): a Stop naming no turn never interrupts an earlier turn

It fell back to the id an earlier turn/start answered with when the latest start went unanswered,
or when the journal showed a compaction Codex had not started, and reported that as stopped.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop naming no turn never says a turn had already finished

When the provider found nothing left to stop, for instance a turn that ended between the host's
check and the interrupt, the chat got "The provider had already finished this turn." for a turn
the Stop never named. It now ends quietly, as a Stop with nothing in flight does.

* fix(native-chat): one Stop the host could not settle no longer refuses every later one

A Stop naming no turn has one operation key per session. When the host could not settle one, it
answered every later Stop under the same id as unknown until the id expired. Once the host says
so, the next press is a new Stop; transport doubt still replays the same id.

* refactor(native-chat): drop the composer's second error formatter

After the merge with main, every chat write in the composer path reports its
failure as a typed outcome worded by the refusal-notice table, so the send's
catch sees only a local throw. The {code, message} formatter this branch added
for it has no payload left to format, and its claim to be the one way a chat
words a failure is no longer true. The composer send is main's again.

* test(native-chat): pin the reason on a message rejected while its chat was closed

The reopen test checked only that the message reads as not sent; it now also
checks the Retry row carries the host's reason.

* test(native-chat): read Stop operation ids without a cast

* fix(native-chat): a Stop whose answer was lost no longer swallows the next one

A Stop that names no turn has one operation key per chat. When its answer was lost in transit, the
chat kept the id, so every later Stop replayed it; the host answers a replay as already handled, so
for up to a day Stop stopped nothing. The id is now dropped once the call settles, however it
settles. A second press while the first is still on its way still shares its id.

* refactor(native-chat): a Stop naming no target keeps its operation id only for its own call

The chat kept each write's operation id per payload across calls, and dropped it only on some
settle paths. That is right for a write naming what it acts on, but a Stop naming no turn, and a
stop of every background task, share one payload with every later one, so any path that kept the id
made the next Stop replay as already handled and stop nothing. One path was still open: an answer
that arrived after the chat moved to a new fence.

Whether a write names its target is now decided once, before its id is picked. One that names none
keeps its id only while its call is in flight, so a press made meanwhile joins it, and releases it
when the call settles, however it settles. The release runs only while the key still holds that
call's id, so a joined call settling late cannot drop a newer one's. This replaces the per-path
exceptions for a thrown call.

* test(native-chat): read the Stop fences without a cast

* test(native-chat): pin the new id for a named cancel the host could not settle

After the Stop naming no turn moved to a per-call id, the only test of the unknown-refusal release
was gone, and the half that stays, for a cancel naming its turn, could be removed with every test
green.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop pressed after a new message stops it, even while the last Stop is unanswered

A Stop naming no turn shared its operation id with any press made while it was still in flight. The
host runs a chat's writes in order, so a message sent between two presses was accepted after the
first Stop ran, and the second press replayed that Stop as already handled and left the message
running, although the chat had already withdrawn it from the outbox.

A write naming no target now gets a new id on every press and is never kept, so each Stop acts on
whatever is running when the host reaches it. A write naming its target keeps its id exactly as
before. A double press can ask the provider to stop the same turn twice, which it tolerates.

* fix(native-chat): Stop no longer blinks off as Claude opens the turn for a message

Claude's echo of a sent message both answers the send and opens its turn. The echo settled the send
first, so the host published the message as answered one frame before the turn it opened, and for
that frame the chat read nothing running: Stop turned back into Send, and Working blinked off in
every session list, for tens of milliseconds on each turn.

The echo now settles the send after the turn it opens has been emitted, so the running turn is
published first.

* fix(native-chat): a message a Stop withdrew comes back to its sender's composer

A Stop withdraws every message the host holds but has not run, and S also
drops the ones this client had not handed over yet. Either way the message
left the chat and its text survived only in a hidden journal row and the
in-memory ArrowUp history.

The sending client now puts the withdrawn text and images back in that
pane's composer, after whatever is typed there. Withdrawn is read from the
rejection reason through one shared check, which the outbox reconcile now
uses too. The composer is written before the entry leaves storage, so a
failure between the two repeats the text instead of losing it, and an entry
storage no longer holds is never given back again, so a replay, a second
view or a remount restores it once. Only this client's outbox holds the
entry, so other viewers still see the message disappear. A failed Stop
withdraws nothing on the host and gives nothing back.

* fix(native-chat): withdrawn text put back during an IME composition is not lost

While the IME owns the field, the composer ignores a programmatic draft, and
the next composed keystroke wrote the draft without the restored text, after
its outbox entry had already been dropped. The composer now holds text
appended mid-composition, keeps it in the cache after each composed write,
and shows it once the composition settles, the way attachments that land
mid-composition already wait for it.

* test(native-chat): pin that only a withdrawn message comes back to the composer

* test(native-chat): set up the composer's window API for every describe in the composition-race file

* docs(native-chat): note that the withdrawn check reads the legacy reason until a typed category lands

* test(native-chat): pin that text put back mid-composition shows once, even beside a mid-composition clear

* fix(native-chat): land a late settlement from a streamed turn's end after that turn's rows

A settlement that says a streamed turn ended waits for the session's event
sink to drain before writing its dispatch row. The journal reducer still
refuses to overwrite an accepted or rejected send.

* fix(codex): settle a send from the end of the turn Codex answered it into

The turn/start answer names the turn that holds a send. The send's echo
entry now keeps that binding, in memory only. If the bound turn is
interrupted without echoing the send, the send is withdrawn: Codex clears a
turn's pending input on interrupt, so the model never saw it. If the turn
fails first, the send is rejected in Codex's words. A completed turn settles
nothing, since Codex records pending input when it finishes and the echo is
still due. An answer read after its turn already ended is settled by that
end. The echo is still the acceptance and carries the item key.

* test(codex): a send settles from the end of the turn Codex answered it into

The fake Codex keeps 0.157's turn bookkeeping, and can deliver the turn/start
answer after turn/started or after turn/completed. The tests cover:
- a Stop before any echo withdraws the send, and the working rule reads idle;
- a steered follow-up is withdrawn when the turn is interrupted;
- a failed turn rejects the send in Codex's words;
- a completed turn leaves the send to its echo;
- a normal echo and a late echo;
- two steered sends in one turn;
- an answer read after the turn ended;
- a timed-out answer;
- child-thread turns;
- how a binding dies.

* refactor(native-chat): drop the stream flush before a late turn-end settlement

Nothing reads the order of a dispatch row against the turn's terminal row:
the reducer keeps a settled send terminal and the working state is derived
from both. The echo acceptance on the same path never waited either, and the
wait could drop the settlement on a failed sink barrier.

* fix(codex): settle a failed turn's sends at its end, not at its error

Codex keeps a failed turn's pending input and records it after the error
frame, before turn/completed. Settling at the error rejected a steered
follow-up the model had in fact received, so a Retry would send it twice.

* docs(codex): say a completed turn echoes what it took before it ends

Codex records a completed turn's pending input before `turn/completed`, so
a bound send that turn never echoed is left for recovery, not awaiting an
echo. The comments and one test title said the echo was still due.

* test(codex): settle a send whose answer is read after its turn failed or completed

A failed turn that ended before the answer rejects the send in Codex's words,
once; a completed one leaves it admitted and still armed for its echo.

* refactor(codex): read a failed turn's reason with the typed thread-fact reader

* fix(native-chat): a Stop that names no turn and ends nothing says why

The host sends a Stop naming no turn to the agent only while the chat reads
working. When the agent ended nothing, the Stop wrote no row, so it looked
ignored. It now writes one: Stop could not reach the agent, in the agent's
own words when it refused the interrupt.

* fix(codex): hold a cold send until Codex opens its turn, and stop the turn it opened

Codex answers turn/start before it opens the turn, and refuses an interrupt
until then. A Stop queued behind a cold send ran in that gap, named the
answered turn, and was refused. The send's handover now lasts until Codex
opens that turn, or provably will not: the turn ended, the primary thread
stopped running, or the child ended, bounded by the turn/start deadline.
A steered send, whose turn is already open, does not wait.

A Stop naming no turn now interrupts the turn the journal shows, else the
primary-thread turn Codex reported started and not yet ended. The per-start
answered id is gone: it was never cleared at a turn's end.

* fix(native-chat): give back a send already on its way only when the host withdraws it

Stop took the in-flight send out of the outbox and put its text back in the
composer at once. The send still landed ahead of the Stop, so the chat read
working for a moment before the host withdrew it, and a send the agent had
already taken came back as well. The in-flight send now stays until the host
answers it, and the withdrawn-message restore gives it back from that answer.

* refactor(native-chat): read a Stop's withdrawal through the rejection classifier

dispatchWasWithdrawn matched the legacy reason string. It now asks the
classifier, which reads the typed fact first and keeps that string only as its
own fallback, so a withdrawal written as a fact with a sentence is still given
back to the composer.

* fix(native-chat): a Stop Codex took but Orca could not confirm is not reported as reaching nothing

When Codex acknowledged the interrupt but Orca could not verify the turn's
processes ended, a Stop naming no turn wrote "it had no turn running to stop",
though the turn then ended as interrupted. The adapter now says the Stop was
taken but unconfirmed, and the row says Cancellation was not confirmed.

* fix(codex): a held cold send never delays closing the chat or quitting

A cold send's handover waits for Codex to open its turn, and that wait sat
in the session queue ahead of the close and quit eviction, so either could
wait out the 30 s request deadline. The host now releases those waits before
it queues a close or starts quit teardown, and the adapter releases them when
it is asked to close the child and on every exit, including one whose end
publication is backpressured.

* fix(native-chat): a refused Stop says the agent declined, and names it

"Stop could not reach the agent" was wrong: the agent was reached and
declined. The row now reads "Codex had no turn running to stop." or
"Codex didn't stop: <Codex's words>.", naming the chat's agent.

* fix(codex): a Stop waits for the turn Codex answered to open; the send no longer does

Codex answers turn/start before it opens the turn and refuses turn/interrupt
until then, so a Stop naming no turn in that window was lost. The send's
handover used to wait for the turn to open, and a close or quit needed its own
release to get past that wait.

Now only the Stop waits. A Stop naming no turn, finding no journal turn and no
open one, reads the turn Codex answered the latest pending send into and has
neither opened nor ended, and waits for it: bounded at 5 s, under the quit
eviction budget, and ended by that turn opening or ending, the thread going
idle or failing, or the child exiting. If the turn opened it is stopped;
otherwise the Stop reports that Codex had no turn running. The send returns at
Codex's answer, so a close or quit with no Stop pending is never delayed, and
the release plumbing through the adapter, router, close and quit is gone.

* fix(codex): the Stop's wait reads a stopped thread from the thread-facts reader main kept

Neil 6e1b7e7fa3 test: remove junk tests that assert source text instead of behavior (#23815)
Deletes 101 test files and trims 112 more, all matching documented junk
patterns: exact source/import/string greps, copied inventories and export
lists, duplicate invocations of a contract another test already owns,
typeof-shape checks TypeScript already enforces, and self-comparisons.

The largest group read a production `.ts` file and asserted on its text —
for example a TaskPage test that required the source to contain
`selectedRepos.find((r) => r.id === newIssueRepoId) ?? selectedRepos[0] ?? null`.
Any behavior-preserving rename broke it; no behavior change ever did.

Production-side follow-through: exports that only these tests imported are
de-exported or deleted, stale comments pointing at removed censuses are
dropped, and the reliability-gate registry, `cloud/package.json` test lists,
and orphaned source-reading helpers are updated so nothing references a
deleted file.

Two files kept their real coverage and lost only the census scaffolding:
`agent-status-producer-census.test.ts` now drives all five producers end to
end instead of grepping the source tree, and `config-toml-trust-stale-writes`
replaces an export-list parity check.

Brennan Benson bb91e39eb9 test(native-chat): main's Codex child tests expect a turn to end on its own turn/completed (#23783)
* fix(native-chat): a Codex child's turn ends on its own turn/completed

#22553 ended a child thread's turn on an `error` Codex will not retry, reading
the verdict module #23682 deleted when it made turn/completed the only end of a
Codex turn. The two landed minutes apart with no textual conflict, so main no
longer typechecks.

Codex runs every thread's events, spawned children included, through the same
per-thread handler: a turn-ending error is recorded as the turn's last error and
the turn then completes as failed. So a child's failed turn/completed is its end,
as on the primary thread, and a closed thread stays the one child ending with no
completion.

* refactor(native-chat): a closed Codex child thread is its own frame

With a child's turn now ending only on its own turn/completed, the
turn-ended frame carried a fixed turnId (null) and state (unverifiable),
and endTurn took parameters nothing passed. Name the one remaining case:
a thread-closed frame, and closeThread ending the running turn as
unverifiable. Drop a test step that no longer exercised anything.

Kelvin AmoabaandBrennan Benson b6c2de9f92 fix(codex): index a new account home before bridging history into it (#22971)
* fix(codex): index a new account home before bridging history into it

Codex indexes every rollout present when it first creates its state DB, and
the TUI gives up after 30s, so large histories broke a new account's launch.

Fixes #20669

* test(codex): keep the account migration test from starting the real Codex binary

Selecting an account starts the history bridge, which spawned codex app-server
on the fixture homes and raced the test's temp-dir cleanup.

* fix(codex): index a new account's most recent bridged history first

Indexing a large history takes minutes, and Codex's /resume hides unindexed
threads once a directory has any indexed one, so recent conversations stayed
missing until the heal reached them in directory-listing order.

* test(codex): cover the history bridge's quit, no-history and failed-link guards

Drop the stop check before creating the state DB: it ran in the same tick as
the check at bridge start, so it could never observe a quit.

* test(codex): make the account heal tests fail closed instead of reaching a real codex

Fake invocations now point at a nonexistent binary and a throwaway CODEX_HOME,
and cover per-home failure memory and a session that fails during quit.

Brennan Benson bd133058a9 refactor(sidebar): one subagent row for CLI and structured children, shared with the chat strip (#22565)
* test(sidebar): pin today's subagent rows and chat strip rows from legacy shapes

Captured on the unmodified renderer: the compact and full sidebar child rows built from a
legacy subagents snapshot, and the expanded chat strip built from a legacy background-task
roster. A host that sends only these shapes must keep rendering exactly these rows.

* refactor(sidebar): one subagent row for CLI and structured children, shared with the chat strip

A child row's dot, name and detail are now decided once, by a shared row model
(src/shared/agent-child-row-model.ts), and rendered by one piece
(AgentChildRowContent) that both the sidebar's child rows and the chat strip use.

The model reads the host's child views when a session publishes them and today's
legacy shapes otherwise (the subagents snapshot for the sidebar, the task roster for
the strip), so old hosts and CLI panes render exactly as before. From views it keeps
what the legacy path lost: a finished subagent whose shell still runs reads
monitoring through the shared child fold, a settled child reads by its outcome, the
tool it runs shows as the CLI row shows it, and each row keeps its own clock.

In the strip, work a child owns renders nested beneath it.

* i18n: add the child row's Ended and ended-ago strings to every catalog

* test(sidebar): a child reads the same in the sidebar and the chat strip

A row-model table for every display state, and a parity table that renders the
same child views through the compact sidebar row and the chat strip and asserts
both show the same dot, name and detail. Covers a finished subagent whose shell
still runs (monitoring on both, no stale tool text), sibling rows with their own
clocks, a settled row timed from when it ended, and owned shells nested under
their owner in the strip. The strip's view input is named childViews so it cannot
be mistaken for React children.

* fix(sidebar): keep the child display derivation loadable in the renderer

The row model imported deriveAgentChildDisplayState from the view module, whose
owner resolution reaches status subjects and, through them, agent-hook-relay's
node:crypto. The renderer cannot evaluate that chunk, so the app booted blank (the
renderer node-builtin boundary test fails on the previous commit).

The display derivation (agentChildWorkOwnedLiveness, deriveAgentChildDisplayState,
AgentChildDisplayState) now lives in agent-status-child-work-display.ts, which
imports only the fold, liveness and the one-pass grouping both modules share
(grouped-by.ts); the view module keeps the host-side projection.

* fix(sidebar): the strip reads its parent's verdict, and the full row says Ended

Review fixes:
- The strip's view path took no freshness input, so once views are wired the same lost
  child would read unverifiable in the sidebar and working in the strip.
  agentChildRowContextForParent builds the one context a parent row gives its children;
  the sidebar uses it, and buildBackgroundTaskGroupsFromViews / the strip's new optional
  childRowContext prop accept it (absent: claims stand as reported, as before).
- The full sidebar row showed no word for a child that ended with no outcome; its message
  line now reads the row model's (the message, or Ended). An unlabeled child falls back
  to its display state there too.
- The summary order now includes failed, so a failed row is never dropped from the counts.
- Parity now covers the full row for every state, a live parked child, an unlabeled child,
  and a lost or stale parent on both surfaces.

* refactor(agent-status): the subagent snapshot, its normalization and equality get their own module

agent-status-types.ts crossed the file-size limit once the row gained child views beside
the main agent fact. The subagent snapshot shape, its admission normalization and the array
equality move into agent-status-subagent-snapshot.ts (re-exported, so importers are
unchanged); the three field caps it shares with the row move to the field normalization.

* refactor(sidebar): one legacy builder family, one reader clock, frozen settled rows

- The chat strip's task-roster rows are built in the shared row model beside the
  other two builders, with one placeholder set and the one detail rule. The
  module header states when each legacy builder is deleted.
- A child's "No update" duration reads the parent's reader clock (receipt time
  for a mirrored parent); a view child's own stamp is moved onto that clock.
  The full sidebar row reads the same value as the compact row.
- The failed->blocked / interrupted->idle collapse has one owner, shared by the
  sidebar row state and the strip header.
- A settled strip row shows its run frozen at settledAt instead of a growing
  "ended N ago", so a strip of only finished work never wakes the 1 Hz tick.

* test(sidebar): the sidebar row state and the strip header share one lifecycle word

* test(sidebar): a child running a shell in its turn shows its Bash line with the shell nested beneath it

While a child's turn runs its shell, the host records the shell both as the
child's operation and as a live command the child owns. The strip shows the
child working its Bash line with the shell row nested beneath it, the header
counts only the agent, and the sidebar shows the child alone with the same text.

* test(sidebar): re-pin the legacy chat strip golden to main's scoped goal-dock selector

Main's #23725 rewrote the strip's goal-dock variants from `group-has-[...]/tasks:` to an
ancestor-scoped `[[data-native-chat-background-tasks]:has(+[data-native-chat-thread-goal])_&]:`
selector. The merged head renders byte-identically to main for this fixture; only the golden
was captured before that change.

Brennan Benson 357a2fed08 fix(native-chat): group chat rows by the turn that produced them (#23671)
* fix(native-chat): keep a turn's bar on the prompt that opened it

A message sent while a structured turn runs appears in the transcript at
once, so "the newest user message" is not the running turn's owner. The
live "Working for" bar moved to the mid-turn message and counted from the
earlier prompt's start, and a send queued behind the running turn counted
its wait twice: once in the previous turn and again from its own send.

Derive both from the host's turn records in one ordered pass:
- The running turn's bar belongs to the user message its lifecycle row
  names (resolved exactly as settled timing resolves it). A message sent
  mid-turn gets no bar until its own turn opens; a send folded into the
  running turn never gets one. Surfaces fall back to the latest user
  message only when the host names no opener.
- A turn counts from its send, but never before the previous turn in the
  journal ended (its recorded end, else its row's last host revision),
  capped at the turn's own start. The same origin feeds the live counter
  and the settled duration.

Desktop and mobile share the derivation; no wire, host, or storage change.

* feat(native-chat): derive each transcript row's owning turn from the journal

Rows between a turn record and the next belong to that record's turn, so a
message the provider folds into a running turn no longer captures the rows
produced after it. A turn whose opener the host cannot name in the loaded
window anchors to its own record instead of a bystander prompt, and shared
nativeChatRowTurnKeys keeps positional preceding-user grouping for anything
the host does not attribute (older hosts stay pixel-identical).

* fix(native-chat): fold and time transcript rows by their owning turn on desktop

A settled turn's bar now folds every row the turn produced, including rows
after a mid-turn send; the steered bubble stays visible and carries no bar. A
provider-opened turn renders its bar above its first row instead of borrowing
the newest prompt, and row liveness follows the owning turn rather than the
newest user message, so a running turn's rows stay live while a send waits.

* fix(mobile): group phone transcript rows and bars by their owning turn

Same shared derivation as desktop: the opener's bar owns every row of its
turn across a mid-turn send, a steered bubble never grows a bar, a
provider-opened turn's bar sits above its first row, and a running turn's
tool rows stay live while a newer message waits behind it.

* fix(mobile): declare the turn ownership map on the chat controller contract

* fix(native-chat): one diff rollup per turn, and no wake-turn clock on a later prompt

A turn's rows are no longer contiguous once rows are grouped by owning turn: a
prompt sent before the running turn's last row lands among its rows. The diff
rollup was drawn at every run boundary, so such a turn showed its rollup twice
and the later prompt's rollup appeared under its bubble. It now renders once,
under the turn's last row.

On the phone, a turn keyed to its own record is not a user message, so when it
ended its clock was treated as a replaced optimistic echo and handed to the
newest prompt - a message sent during a wake turn got a bar with the wake turn's
duration. Host-attributed turn keys now count as live turn keys.

* fix(native-chat): keep a Codex turn's bar on its send until the echo lands

Codex reports turn/started before it runs hooks and prewarm and before it
echoes the send, so for that gap the turn names a provider key no alias
resolves yet. Anchoring it to its own record left the running turn with no
bar at all; treat the send still in flight ahead of the record as its opener.

* fix(codex): restore each turn's record ahead of that turn's items

Rows are grouped by the nearest turn record before them in journal order,
which holds on the live path because a turn's record is written when the turn
opens. Full-history restore (the fallback for Codex app-servers that reject
excludeTurns) wrote each turn's items first and its record after, so every
restored turn's rows were credited to the previous turn and turn 1's answer
folded away.

The restore now appends the record before the turn's items. The record itself
is unchanged: same identity, state, outcome, opener key, endpoints and
duration, one append each. The restore-order test now expects the record
first, because that order is what keeps grouping correct; its old order was
incidental, not a contract any reader relied on. Readers that key turns by id
or opener key, or that scan for the newest record (all restored records are
settled), read the same result in either order.

Journals already imported in the old order stay as written; no migration.

Neil 25d9c57e3a fix(native-chat): keep a child turn settling on an error Codex will not retry (#23808)
#23801 removed the child-path reading of Codex's turn-ending `error` along with
the import of the module #23682 deleted. That was the wrong half to remove: the
primary journal path can rely on Codex's failed `turn/completed` arriving within
~32 ms, which is what #23682 established, but a child turn has no such
guarantee, and without the error as its end the child's lifecycle row latches on
`working` for the life of the session. Three tests assert exactly that and could
not run, because the unresolved import had been skipping the unit matrix since
#23682 merged.

The reading is restored inline against `readCodexErrorWillRetry`, itself restored
to `codex-structured-thread-facts.ts`, rather than by reviving the deleted
module: its `thread-stopped-running` arm lost its only consumer when #23682
rewrote the primary path, so restoring the file would re-add dead code.

Also drops `pr-workflow-parallelism.test.mjs`'s read of
`.github/workflows/track-community-prs.yaml`, which #23796 deleted while leaving
the assertion behind. Same failure class, and it fails the same shard.

Neil 643f93f009 fix(native-chat): drop the Codex error path #23682 removed (#23801)
#23682 established that only `turn/completed` ends a Codex turn and deleted
`codex-structured-journal-provider-verdicts.ts`, but the child-turn reader kept
importing `readCodexProviderVerdict` and branching on its `turn-failed` verdict.
The module is gone, so the import resolves to nothing: typecheck and static
analysis fail on every pull request, which skips the whole unit matrix behind
them, and the esbuild pass behind Bun profile scope detection throws, so every
run falls back to all six platforms.

A closed thread is now the only child-turn end without `turn/completed`, which
is what #23682 intended: Codex follows a turn-ending `error` with a failed
`turn/completed` for the same turn 0-32 ms later, and that completion carries
the duration and receipt time the error does not.

Brennan Benson b4c19f12c4 fix(claude): run structured Claude under the POSIX provider supervisor (#23476)
* fix(codex): the provider supervisor outlives its provider group when stopped

A signalled supervisor forwards the signal to the provider group, escalates to
SIGKILL after the grace, and exits only once the group is gone, so recovery's
proof that the recorded pid is dead also proves the provider is. It refuses to
spawn when its parent is already not the owner named in its spec, and watches
that owner rather than whichever parent it first saw. The grace is a spec
field. Recovery's SIGTERM stage now outlasts the supervisor's own stop, since a
SIGKILL that lands first cannot be handled and leaves the group running.

* fix(codex): a closed owner pipe no longer ends the supervisor before its provider group

When Orca dies, the supervisor's stdout pipe has no reader. Provider output in the
window before the parent-death watch fired raised an unhandled EPIPE that exited the
supervisor with the provider group still running.

* fix(codex): bound the supervisor grace so recovery's SIGTERM stage always covers it

Recovery sized its SIGTERM stage from the default grace, so a launch with a
longer grace would be SIGKILLed mid-stop and orphan its group with no test
noticing. The spec now refuses any grace above one exported maximum, and
recovery derives its SIGTERM stage from that maximum.

* fix(codex): every supervisor stop asks the provider with SIGTERM first

Owner death, stdin end after the grace, and a signal to the supervisor now all
take one path: SIGTERM the provider group, SIGKILL it after the grace, and exit
only once it is gone. The signal handlers are registered before the provider
is spawned, so a stop that lands in the spawn window still reaps it. The
longest stop grows to two graces plus the reap wait, and both recovery's
SIGTERM stage and the connection's graceful close now wait that long before
forcing, since forcing the supervisor sooner can orphan its group.

* fix(claude): run the structured Claude child under the POSIX provider supervisor

A close now stops Claude with a SIGTERM through the supervisor instead of letting
stdin end finish the turn, and Orca's death stops it through the supervisor.

* test(claude): pin the supervised stop against a real Claude CLI, opt-in

* test(claude): a requested stop reads interrupted through the frames the supervised SIGTERM makes Claude emit

* test(claude): show what the real CLI did when it never ran the tool

* test(claude): Orca's death now reaps Claude's own tool through its SIGTERM

* refactor(claude): take supervision from the spawn spec so the close ladder cannot disagree with the spawn

createProviderSpawnSpec now reports whether it wrapped the provider in the supervisor, and the Claude spawner reads that instead of repeating the platform check. The close ladder's SIGTERM follows the process actually spawned.

* fix(native-chat): derive quit's chat-eviction bound from the longest supervised provider close

Quit's child-eviction phase was a hand-picked 8 s. It is now the sink drain plus the longest
supervised close over Claude and Codex plus a named 1 s margin, so a provider close that grows
widens it instead of silently outrunning it. A close's tree-kill fallback stays outside the bound:
once main exits, the supervisor stops its provider group on owner death, which a new test now
proves for a clean owner exit, and next launch's recovery settles the lease.

Brennan Benson 94b5a7d256 fix(native-chat): only Codex's turn completion ends a Codex turn (#23682)
* fix(native-chat): the sink queue keeps a settlement's first batch, as the journal does

The journal applies a lifecycle batch's settlement id once and skips any later
batch with the same id. The deferred sink queue coalesced the same key the other
way: a second batch replaced the first while it was still queued. So which
record survived depended on whether the first had drained yet.

A lifecycle batch now keeps the queued operation with its key, and a later one
is accepted and dropped, which is what the journal does once the first is
written.

* fix(native-chat): only turn/completed ends a Codex turn

Codex follows every turn-ending `error` (willRetry=false) with a failed
`turn/completed` for the same turn, 0-32 ms later. That was captured from the
real app-server on 0.141.0 and 0.158.0 across eight failure scenarios, and it is
how Codex builds a failed turn: it records the error as the turn's last error,
records any pending input, and then derives `failed` from that error when it
completes the turn.

The translator ended the turn twice: once on the error, and again on the
completion, with a guard to make the first end final. Ending on the error threw
away what only the completion carries: Codex's duration, and the completion's
receipt time. It also forgot the turn before Codex recorded the turn's pending
input.

Now the error is only the row the user reads, inside the still-open turn, and
`turn/completed` is the turn's only live end. A process exit between the two is
the existing exit sweep's observed end, recorded as interrupted.

A failed completion is stored as completed with outcome failure, live and on
restore alike. Only `interrupted` maps to the interrupted state.

The first-end-final guard is gone. Codex sends one completion per turn, the only
redelivery Orca has is the retry of a refused frame (which changes nothing), and
the settlement id already keeps the first record in the queue and the journal.

* refactor(codex): delete the unreachable oversized-notification settlement

The translator settled a streamed item when the transport rejected its
notification as oversized. Nothing can produce that frame. The Codex stdio
reader frames with `maxLineBytes: Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY`
(codex-app-server-record-reader.ts), which it has done since the app-server
records were uncapped. With an infinite limit the framer never reports
`line-too-long`: no line, pending suffix or paused queue can exceed it. So the
dispatcher never emits `frame:oversized-notification`, and the arm that settles
it never runs.

The arm, its helper module and its test go. In place of the test, the
connection test now proves the reason: a notification past the old 16 MiB wire
limit arrives whole, and no oversized frame is reported.

* test(codex): replace the captured ids in the turn-endings fixture with synthetic ones

The replay reads ids only to group frames, so the real thread, turn and
response ids from the capture account carry nothing the test needs. The
fixture moves beside the Codex tests that read it.

* test(codex): use a neutral made-up status as the unknown-status example

'cancelled' read as a stop being recorded as a completion.

* test(codex): a restored turn with a status Orca cannot place ends with no verdict

Codex's history carries the same status field as the live completion, so the
restore path is pinned to the same mapping: completed, and no outcome.

Brennan Benson 2af897d7ea fix(codex): the provider supervisor outlives its provider group when stopped (#23466)
* fix(codex): the provider supervisor outlives its provider group when stopped

A signalled supervisor forwards the signal to the provider group, escalates to
SIGKILL after the grace, and exits only once the group is gone, so recovery's
proof that the recorded pid is dead also proves the provider is. It refuses to
spawn when its parent is already not the owner named in its spec, and watches
that owner rather than whichever parent it first saw. The grace is a spec
field. Recovery's SIGTERM stage now outlasts the supervisor's own stop, since a
SIGKILL that lands first cannot be handled and leaves the group running.

* fix(codex): a closed owner pipe no longer ends the supervisor before its provider group

When Orca dies, the supervisor's stdout pipe has no reader. Provider output in the
window before the parent-death watch fired raised an unhandled EPIPE that exited the
supervisor with the provider group still running.

* fix(codex): bound the supervisor grace so recovery's SIGTERM stage always covers it

Recovery sized its SIGTERM stage from the default grace, so a launch with a
longer grace would be SIGKILLed mid-stop and orphan its group with no test
noticing. The spec now refuses any grace above one exported maximum, and
recovery derives its SIGTERM stage from that maximum.

* fix(codex): every supervisor stop asks the provider with SIGTERM first

Owner death, stdin end after the grace, and a signal to the supervisor now all
take one path: SIGTERM the provider group, SIGKILL it after the grace, and exit
only once it is gone. The signal handlers are registered before the provider
is spawned, so a stop that lands in the spawn window still reaps it. The
longest stop grows to two graces plus the reap wait, and both recovery's
SIGTERM stage and the connection's graceful close now wait that long before
forcing, since forcing the supervisor sooner can orphan its group.

* fix(codex): give the provider 1 s after stdin end and 3 s after SIGTERM to flush before SIGKILL

The supervisor's stop was stdin end, 1.25 s, SIGTERM, 1.25 s, SIGKILL. Codex
now gets 3 s after SIGTERM to flush its state. The two graces are separate
constants, the longest stop they derive becomes 5.5 s, and a test keeps it
inside quit's 8 s child-eviction bound.

* test(codex): count eviction's pre-stop drain in the quit budget test

Eviction drains the sink for up to 1 s before it stops the child, inside the same 8 s bound.

Brennan Benson c5330d0d52 fix(native-chat): stop killing processes that only inherited a chat's spawn tag (#23460)
* fix(native-chat): stop signalling processes that only inherited a spawn token

A spawn token is an environment variable, so every descendant of a provider child
carries it. The Linux-only startup scan treated any carrier no lease claimed as a lost
provider child and sent it SIGTERM, which also hit editors, tmux servers and nested
Orca processes the agent had started. Remove that scan's killing consumer; the token
scan stays for the reservation probe, and recorded owners are still stopped by
identity during recovery.

* fix(codex): remove the token-scan kill path from app-server teardown

Every descendant inherits the spawn token, so killing each pid that carries it can
reach processes the agent started that are not the provider. Production never
injected this path; teardown always uses the process-group and descendant-snapshot
proof. Drop it, its deps, and the now-unused spawn-token argument.

Brennan Benson 2ca4ecbc61 feat(orchestration): let a structured chat run orchestration as itself (#22568)
* feat(orchestration): inject the Orca session id into structured children and let the CLI act as it

Every structured session's child (native Claude, native Codex, and the terminal
view) carries ORCA_AGENT_SESSION_ID and reaches the Orca CLI. The CLI sends the id
in the orchestration envelope; when present it is the caller, and a caller flag
naming anyone else is refused before any request. The id is stripped from
inherited PTY env and from the SSH host-CLI passthrough, and crosses into WSL so
the host can refuse the cross-host claim.

* test(orchestration): pin session id injection for native Claude, native Codex, the terminal view, WSL, PTY inheritance and SSH

* test(orchestration): pin one caller precedence rule across every CLI verb that names its caller

Adds the per-verb table (flagless acts as the session; a conflicting --from or
--terminal is refused before any request; the session's own spellings are
accepted), the enumerated guess population with its positive control, the
structured worker's own handle, the identity-less refusal for an older child,
the unchanged terminal agent, and the envelope. dispatch-show's --from only fills
preview text, so it passes through unfenced and a session's flagless preview
names the address the real dispatch writes.

* refactor(orchestration): keep the identity-less marker reader to the marker; the id is checked first

* test(orchestration): pin that a host refusal of the session surfaces verbatim from the CLI

* fix(orchestration): keep the identity-less marker beside the id for CLIs that predate it

A CLI older than the id, reached through a global install when a shell rc resets
PATH, would otherwise guess a sibling's terminal in a chat that no longer carries
the marker. It refuses on the marker instead; a current CLI checks the id first,
so the marker never makes a session with an id identity-less.

* fix(orchestration): refuse a conflicting --from on gate-list and task-list scoped by --run

A --run listing needs no caller, so both handlers skipped the resolver and a
--from naming another actor was dropped silently under a session. The conflict
check now runs on that branch too; terminal callers are unchanged.

* fix(orchestration): name this app's CLI by absolute path for a structured session's login shells

A provider can run each command in a login shell: Codex runs zsh -lc, and the
profile rebuilds PATH, putting a global install (possibly an older Orca) ahead of
the directory Orca prepended. ORCA_CLI_COMMAND, which an agent resolves the CLI
from first, is now the absolute launcher in that directory (the native launcher
on Windows), so no shell's startup files can swap it. The PATH prepend stays for
shells that read no profile. Found by the live coordinator run of the next PR.

* test(orchestration): pin a structured worker's CLI command as this app's absolute launcher

* test(orchestration): run the zsh login-shell arm in the real-shell lane that installs zsh

The ordinary Linux unit lane has no /bin/zsh, so the zsh arm failed there with
ENOENT. It moves to a live-shell file registered in the shell-contracts lane; the
bash arm keeps running in every lane. The lane guard's detector now also sees a
zsh spawned through the ProcessSpec program field, which is how this test
escaped it.

* fix(orchestration): omit a structured child's CLI command when no launcher resolves, and pin its instance

A bare `orca` fallback named GNOME's screen reader on packaged Linux, and an inherited value named
another app's CLI. The builder now deletes any inherited value, sets the absolute launcher only when
one resolved, and pins ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH so a current CLI dials the instance that minted the id.
Renames the marker reader to hasStructuredSessionMarker and records why the terminal view carries
the id without the marker.

* fix(terminal): name this app's CLI launcher by absolute path in every local terminal

ORCA_CLI_COMMAND meant three things by lane: an absolute launcher for a structured session, a bare
name for WSL, and nothing for any other terminal, so a structured session's terminal view lost it.
Local terminals now get the same absolute launcher the structured lane gets; WSL keeps its guest
command name, and a terminal whose launcher does not resolve still gets none.

* feat(cli): hand a command to the session's own CLI when another Orca CLI was invoked

A login shell can reorder PATH behind a global install, and an agent or its helper script can run
bare `orca`, so the binary that answered depended on the agent following instructions. Orca's
packaged launchers and bare-orca shims now export ORCA_CLI_SELF (outermost wins). At the CLI entry,
when it names a different launcher than ORCA_CLI_COMMAND, the command re-runs once through the named
launcher with ORCA_CLI_REEXEC=1 and exits with its status; both variables are consumed so no child
inherits them. Dev launchers export no self on purpose, WSL and SSH names never qualify, and a
launcher that cannot start leaves the command to run here. The Windows launcher no longer rewrites
ORCA_CLI_COMMAND; the legacy ask protocol normalizes its resume command itself.

* refactor(orchestration): declare which flag names the caller on each spec and refuse at the CLI entry

Each handler hand-classified its --from/--terminal as the caller or a target, and the refusal of a
conflicting caller flag ran inside the caller resolver plus two standalone calls for --run listings,
so a new verb that read its flag raw would pass a sibling's handle to a pre-session host. Specs now
declare identityFlagRoles, the CLI entry refuses a conflicting caller flag once from the spec, the
resolver only applies the id-wins rule, and a test fails any orchestration verb that accepts --from
or --terminal without classifying it.

* perf(cli): keep the session caller check off the actor codec's module graph

The check runs at the CLI entry for every command, and the actor codec pulls zod through the session
record. Compare the session's own spellings as plain strings instead.

* refactor(cli): spell a session's address from the one prefix constant, off the codec's module graph

The Orca session address prefix moves to a leaf module with no imports, re-exported by
the address codec, so the CLI entry check derives `session:<id>` from that constant
instead of re-typing it and still stays off the codec's zod graph. Prose and test names
say caller or Orca session id, not actor.

* refactor(orchestration): drop the session id's terminal-view spawn now that the handoff is gone

The terminal handoff was removed, so no terminal is ever a structured session:
- delete the terminal-view identity env and its WSL passthrough, and their tests;
- strip the session caller keys from every terminal's env unconditionally;
- the CLI's own-address spelling moves beside the injected id in src/shared, with
  a test pinning it to the address the host's party resolver gives that session.

* fix(terminal): run the Codex launch preflight through the CLI the terminal names

Packaged Linux names the userData shim in ORCA_CLI_COMMAND, while the preflight
ran the bundled launcher behind it. The CLI saw a different launcher and handed
the preflight off to the shim, booting Electron twice before every codex launch.

* revert(terminal): keep terminals on main's ORCA_CLI_COMMAND and Codex preflight

Only a structured session needs an absolute ORCA_CLI_COMMAND; local terminals go back to
naming none (WSL keeps its guest command), and the Codex launch preflight goes back to the
bundled launcher. The CLI handoff is scoped to sessions, so a terminal's preflight can no
longer be handed off and start Electron twice.

This reverts commit d2cefb6c03 and commit dd2853a5a9.

* fix(cli): hand off to the session's CLI only inside a structured session

The handoff ran whenever an Orca launcher's ORCA_CLI_SELF differed from an absolute
ORCA_CLI_COMMAND, so any process with both - a terminal, a script - ran another install's CLI
instead of the one invoked: a beta's --version lied, and an AppImage command from a terminal
that outlived its Orca failed. It now requires the injected session id, the identity it exists
to deliver. The launcher variables are still consumed in every process.

* fix(cli): name the packaged Windows command after the handoff decision

The launcher stopped writing orca/orca-ide over ORCA_CLI_COMMAND so the handoff could see a
session's absolute launcher, which also changed what every Windows terminal's CLI read. The CLI
entry now applies the launcher's rule itself once the handoff is decided, so terminals and the
legacy ask resume command see exactly what they saw before, and the resume-command reader
goes back to its original form.

* refactor(cli): decide the session handoff from the CLI's own entry, not a launcher export

Every packaged launcher, shim and dispatcher exported ORCA_CLI_SELF so the CLI could tell which
launcher ran it, and compared that with the session's ORCA_CLI_COMMAND. Two launchers of the same
app are different files, so a session that reached its own app through a global orca-ide on Linux
still handed off and started Electron twice, and the export rode artifacts every terminal uses.

A structured session now also names the JS entry its launcher runs (ORCA_SESSION_CLI_ENTRY), and
the CLI compares its own argv entry with it: any launcher of the same app stays, another install
hands off. The launcher scripts, Linux shim and dispatcher go back to main; the Windows launcher
keeps only leaving ORCA_CLI_COMMAND for the CLI to name after the handoff decision.

* refactor(cli): drop the session CLI handoff; the pinned instance and injected id already bind any current CLI

Every current Orca CLI dials the instance ORCA_USER_DATA_PATH names and sends the injected
session id in the orchestration envelope, so a bare `orca` that reaches another install's
current CLI already acts as the session. An older CLI has no handoff code and refuses on the
marker. The handoff only lined up versions between two current CLIs, and comparing two
separately derived paths kept misfiring (an AppImage's mount against its registered
extraction started the CLI twice on every call).

Removes the re-exec, ORCA_SESSION_CLI_ENTRY and ORCA_CLI_REEXEC, and the CLI-side Windows
command naming; the packaged Windows launcher rewrites ORCA_CLI_COMMAND again, as on main,
inside its own process only. resolveHostCliEntryPath goes back to the SSH passthrough.

* test(orchestration): say why the registered worker case pins the handle, now that every session's env is populated

Brennan Benson 153d3fd3fa feat(native-chat): Codex sessions write their subagents into the host status store (#22553)
* refactor(native-chat): the Codex acquire names its turn-boundary methods as a set

Behavior-neutral: the same two methods stamp receipt time. Keeps the file
under the size limit once the child-work sink lands.

* feat(native-chat): Codex sessions write their subagents into the host status store

A Codex child thread and each persistent command become host child records,
fed through the same delivery, ingest and reducer the Claude lane uses. The
child's own turn decides it: turn start is live, turn completion settles it
with the outcome Codex reports, and a follow-up turn reopens the same record
as a new run. Its open tool call, last message, usage and waiting-on-user flag
come from its own thread's frames. A parent turn ending settles nothing.

* fix(native-chat): close a Codex child's tool call by its item id alone

A completion frame need not restate the tool it ran, so reading the tool name
before closing left the call open and the record naming a finished tool.

* test(native-chat): pin the Codex child-work evidence and every hop to the host's records

Child turn start/end/follow-up, open tool call, last message, usage, waiting,
the persistent command a child owns and its monitoring display, a primary
turn end settling nothing, and session end. End to end through the real
adapter: evidence after the journal and the legacy republish, and the parent
state the records imply equals today's at every frame of a scripted session.
Through the production runtime: a Codex session's child work reaches the
status sink under its own address, and a provider exit ends it there.

* test(native-chat): a Codex child's new run never inherits the last run's open call

* test(native-chat): a Codex session with no child-work sink holds no evidence

* test(native-chat): deliver a Codex child's announcement twice, as Codex does, before counting edges

* refactor(native-chat): hand the Codex producer's pending edge over directly

* fix(native-chat): name every Codex turn state in the outcome map; type the runtime test's fake opener

* fix(native-chat): a Codex child's turn ends on the error that ends it, or on its thread closing

Codex can end a child's turn with no turn/completed: an error it will not
retry is that turn's own end (the verdict the transcript already settles the
same turn on), and a closed thread ran its last turn. The executions, the one
owner of child turn state, now end the turn on both, so the strip drops the
child and its record settles (failed, or unknown for a close) together,
instead of reading working for the life of the session. A systemError status
is not an ending: Codex raises it for errors that leave the turn running.

A child fact whose frame names no turn now belongs to the turn the child is
running, instead of counting for every run.

* test(native-chat): a Codex child's turn ending by fatal error or thread close settles strip and record together

* test(native-chat): the Codex parity script reads a waiting child through the shared fold's waiting arm

* test(native-chat): a Codex child row's journal attempt is its record's generation

The journal numbers a Codex child's runs by the turns it observed on the
child's thread; the host record numbers them by the runs its evidence
opened. Both are keyed by the child's own turn id, so they must agree run for
run, including when Codex reports the child's first turn before the spawn
that announces it.

* test(native-chat): a Codex session's end settles its live children and keeps the ended ones

The host no longer erases a session's children when its provider goes away: a
child still running settles with an outcome nobody reported, and a child that
had already ended keeps what it said. The producer tests now expect exactly
that, from the close path and from an unexpected exit.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex subagent's shell is its open tool until the process exits

Codex runs every agent shell through unified exec, so every subagent shell
arrives with the source the persistent-command tracker keys on. The producer
skipped those items, so a working subagent never named its shell, and an
approved command (started on the approval path, completed from unified exec)
stayed its open tool until the turn ended. The tracker still records the
process separately, so a command that outlives the turn reads as monitoring.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex shell becomes a subagent's own work only once it outlives its turn

Codex runs every agent shell through unified exec and never says when one is
left running, so the producer turned every shell, even a millisecond `rg`, into
a command record the moment it started. Each settled into the session's pool
of 32 settled records, so a busy turn evicted a finished subagent's record
(its outcome row would vanish) and listed dozens of finished shells beside it.

A command now becomes a record at the first turn boundary of the thread that
launched it while its process still runs: until then it is the agent's open
call. A shell that exits within its turn never becomes a record.

* refactor(native-chat): child records keep every settled child and can be removed outright

Settled child records now stay until the host drops the session's row; the
32-record trim is gone. A producer can say work stopped with nothing to
report, and its record (and the handles it answered to) goes instead of
settling. Evidence stays host-internal: the producer and the store share
one process.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex command is live work from its start until its process stops

The command tracker is now the one owner of a Codex command's lifetime. It
admits every command whatever `source` Codex tags it with (the approval
path starts one as `agent`), and ends it when its process exits, when its
thread closes (Codex stops the processes first, so no exit ever arrives),
or when the session ends. The producer mirrors that one-to-one: a live
record from the start, removed when the command stops, never settled.

This removes the turn-boundary rule: a command that was only recorded at
its turn's end left the parent reading done for one publish when the main
agent's turn ended with a shell still running. The parity script now
checks the parent at every journal write, not only at frame end.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex command whose approval its turn abandoned never ran

Codex starts an approval's command item before it asks, and when the turn
ends with the question unanswered (the user stops at the approval), it drops
the question and never completes the item. The command tracker admitted that
start as a running process, so the strip kept a phantom command row and the
session row read working until the session ended.

The prompt registry, which owns which approvals are still unanswered, reports
the command approvals a turn ended without; the tracker ends those commands
with the frame that ended the turn. An answered approval keeps its command.

* test(native-chat): start the Codex child-work runtime test without the removed hold

Main no longer has host.hold: creating the session starts its child, and
nothing a viewer does keeps it running. The test attaches and asserts the
one child that attach started, then drives it as before.

Brennan Benson 2c92e5e7da fix(native-chat): a failed Codex turn keeps its failure and "Worked for" (#23514)
* fix(native-chat): a Codex turn's first terminal settlement is final

Codex follows a turn-ending `error` with a failed `turn/completed` for the
same turn. The error settled the turn and dropped its start and attributed
send; the completion then re-settled it from nothing, so the record lost its
start time and flipped from completed/failure to interrupted/failure. A
failed turn lost its "Worked for" and read as interrupted.

Both ends now go through one settlement that refuses a turn already in the
recent-turns window, so every later end (error then completion, a duplicate
completion) adds nothing and overwrites nothing.

* test(native-chat): the settles-once fixture is an ordinary failed turn

The fixture was labelled and worded as a failed compaction; this change
covers the ordinary-turn path, so its frames now read as one.

* test(native-chat): a failed Codex turn keeps its record when its two ends coalesce in the queue

Brennan Benson d691486b3f fix(codex): a message whose turn was stopped before Codex took it is withdrawn, not stuck (#23618)
* fix(native-chat): land a late settlement from a streamed turn's end after that turn's rows

A settlement that says a streamed turn ended waits for the session's event
sink to drain before writing its dispatch row. The journal reducer still
refuses to overwrite an accepted or rejected send.

* fix(codex): settle a send from the end of the turn Codex answered it into

The turn/start answer names the turn that holds a send. The send's echo
entry now keeps that binding, in memory only. If the bound turn is
interrupted without echoing the send, the send is withdrawn: Codex clears a
turn's pending input on interrupt, so the model never saw it. If the turn
fails first, the send is rejected in Codex's words. A completed turn settles
nothing, since Codex records pending input when it finishes and the echo is
still due. An answer read after its turn already ended is settled by that
end. The echo is still the acceptance and carries the item key.

* test(codex): a send settles from the end of the turn Codex answered it into

The fake Codex keeps 0.157's turn bookkeeping, and can deliver the turn/start
answer after turn/started or after turn/completed. The tests cover:
- a Stop before any echo withdraws the send, and the working rule reads idle;
- a steered follow-up is withdrawn when the turn is interrupted;
- a failed turn rejects the send in Codex's words;
- a completed turn leaves the send to its echo;
- a normal echo and a late echo;
- two steered sends in one turn;
- an answer read after the turn ended;
- a timed-out answer;
- child-thread turns;
- how a binding dies.

* refactor(native-chat): drop the stream flush before a late turn-end settlement

Nothing reads the order of a dispatch row against the turn's terminal row:
the reducer keeps a settled send terminal and the working state is derived
from both. The echo acceptance on the same path never waited either, and the
wait could drop the settlement on a failed sink barrier.

* fix(codex): settle a failed turn's sends at its end, not at its error

Codex keeps a failed turn's pending input and records it after the error
frame, before turn/completed. Settling at the error rejected a steered
follow-up the model had in fact received, so a Retry would send it twice.

* docs(codex): say a completed turn echoes what it took before it ends

Codex records a completed turn's pending input before `turn/completed`, so
a bound send that turn never echoed is left for recovery, not awaiting an
echo. The comments and one test title said the echo was still due.

* test(codex): settle a send whose answer is read after its turn failed or completed

A failed turn that ended before the answer rejects the send in Codex's words,
once; a completed one leaves it admitted and still armed for its echo.

Brennan BensonandClaude a68d62911e fix(native-chat): the host writes chat failures for a person, with a typed fact beside them (#23116)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

No client ever called agentSession.requestHandoff or mounted the handoff
chrome. Delete the handoff coordinator, the terminal-owner runtime, the
proof write path and the unmounted UI. Keep agentSession.handoffStatus,
which released desktop clients read for worktree activation, and let
records an older build left mid handoff reconcile through the ordinary
restart and recovery paths.

* fix(native-chat): never let the pre-stop snapshot hold a chat's stop

Eviction now drains delivered events before quit's resume-offer snapshot. An
unbounded wait there sits ahead of the provider stop, so a sink whose journal
write stalls kept the child running until the step deadline aborted the
eviction. The offer is advisory: bound the drain and stop the child regardless.

* refactor(native-chat): drop helpers only the terminal handoff called

`claudeAuthEnvCarriedForward`, `isPathWithinDirectory` and
`queryWindowsProcessRowsFresh` lost their last caller with the handoff. The
fresh-scan tests now go through `queryWindowsProcessDescendants({ fresh: true })`,
the teardown path that still depends on that contract.

* docs(native-chat): stop citing the removed handoff in lifecycle comments

Six comments still named the handoff coordinator, a handoff suspend, or a
terminal-owned session as live participants in the flows they describe.

* test(native-chat): pin that a start dead before proving owes no settlement

The removed restart handoff test pinned this branch; nothing else did.

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(native-chat): keep the owner-status read behind an in-flight attach

The handoff removal dropped the per-session queue from `handoffStatus`, so a
read landing mid-start reported the reservation (no owner) instead of the
settled chat owner, and shipped desktop clients blocked worktree activation on
it. The read is queued again, as it was before the removal.

* refactor(terminal): remove the agent-session PTY write gate

The gate only refused a write when a PTY had been bound to a chat session, and the
only code that ever bound one was the terminal handoff this branch removes. With it
gone, every admit/readmit returned "admitted" unconditionally, so the checks on the
renderer write path, the runtime controller backstop, terminal.send, agent prompts,
preview input and orchestration pointers, the refusal fields on terminal.send and
worker-start receipts, the plugin and CLI refusal copy, and the adopted-pane
orchestration routing could no longer run. Ordinary writes take the same path in
the same order as before.

* refactor(native-chat): drop the transcript helpers only the handoff called

appendLegacyTranscriptMessages fed the terminal transcript catch-up and
proveClaudeTranscriptBranch backed the terminal owner's exit proof. Both lost
their last caller with the handoff. Their tests now go through the live entry
points instead: the roster bounds through the legacy import, the pinned-read and
growth tests through the ancestry replay the history window uses, and the marker
rules through the string proof in their own file rather than the session-file
resolver's.

* fix(native-chat): stop calling a starting chat "mid-handoff"

A send refused because the chat's owner is not settled showed "The session is
mid-handoff (<stage>)." in the composer. With the handoff gone, the stages that
reach it are a chat that is still starting, or one whose previous agent process
has not yet been confirmed stopped. The message now says which of the two it is.
The refusal code is unchanged.

* test(native-chat): type the stand-in roster decoder without a cast

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(codex): name the pinned rollout lookup for what it does

With the terminal handoff gone, the module named codex-tui-rollout-proof holds
only the pinned rollout lookup that structured Codex launches use to resume a
thread, so the name described code that no longer exists. Rename the module and
its options type. Also drop a mobile allowlist assertion that pinned the
removed agentSession.requestHandoff method, which no longer exists to allow.

* refactor(native-chat): type the owner-status reply as the host sends it

The handoffStatus reply type still listed the terminal handoff's fields and
states (terminal placement, host label, proof retry, queued and waiting phases,
the to-terminal direction). No host writes them any more and the only client
reader parses the reply as unknown, so they described nothing. The reply on the
wire is unchanged.

* refactor(native-chat): normalize terminal-handoff lease values once at decode

Nothing in this build writes a terminal owner (`runtimeKind: 'tui'`) or the
handoff's `preparing` / `old-owner-stopped` stages, but the in-memory types
still admitted them, so readers across the host kept branches for values no
path produces and the compiler could not point at them.

The store now validates the on-disk shape, which still accepts those values so
an older record is not quarantined, and maps them once while parsing:

- `preparing` and `old-owner-stopped` become `recovering`
- a `tui` lease becomes `native`; when it records a process it also becomes
  `conflicted`, the claim every build probes but never stops. A plain native
  owner would be stopped by restart recovery, here and in older builds.

Revisions are taken over the normalized state on both sides of every compare,
and the mapped record reaches disk with the store's first transaction, the
same way the tab-id backfill does.

The in-memory types narrow to what this build writes, and the branches that
existed only for the removed values go. Structured-worker identity keeps its
verdict for a former terminal owner by refusing a conflicted claim rather
than a non-native kind.

* refactor(native-chat): stop threading the owner kind through a reservation

A reservation only ever names a native owner now, so the request no longer
carries a kind and the reserved lease records `native` directly. The attach
params keep `runtimeKind`: agentSession.ensure and create accept it, and the
operation fingerprint stored in the ledger covers it.

* test(native-chat): pin the legacy-lease rewrite with a transaction that changes nothing else

Hiding a tab also committed the visibility index, so the no-op transaction
wrote the file even when its open-time revision was wrong. Committing the index
first leaves the pending rewrite as the only reason to write.

* fix(native-chat): name a chat write by its target, not the owner generation

A write carried the fence of the last frame the pane read, and the host refused it
unless that fence was still current. An idle release and the restart after it each
move the fence, and the release publishes nothing, so a send after a release was
refused "Expected runtime fence 1; the session is at 3", and a Stop queued behind a
cold start was refused as stale.

Every write already names what it acts on: a send its conversation, a cancel its
turn, a prompt answer its item revision, a rewind its epoch; an option is
last-writer-wins. So admission stops comparing the client's fence, and the rebase
that papered over one restart (admitAtResumedFence, resumedFromFence) goes with it.
The writer-lease check stays, and so does the attach's compare-and-swap.

Frames now stamp the fence read when each frame is sent instead of a copy each
subscriber kept, which went stale on the same release.

* fix(native-chat): every journal append reaches the chats that are open

A journal write and its delivery to open readers were two calls, and some
writers made only the first. A failed start whose lease could not be handed
back, a provider revision with no frame behind it, and eviction's settlement
were all journaled without reaching an open chat.

A journal handle now reports every durable change, and the host's session map
binds that report to the session's readers when the handle is set. Writers no
longer publish what they append; the per-writer publish calls are deleted.

* test(native-chat): an epoch replacement reaches the open chat

* test(native-chat): each row reaches an open chat once, and a live handle enters only through the map

* test(native-chat): give the legacy-lease store test a tab id so the backfill cannot supply its rewrite

The seeded record had no surface tab id, so the next open backfilled one and
that rewrite alone made the no-op transaction write. The test passed with the
legacy-lease rewrite signal removed.

* test(worktree-activation): restore the OMP surfaced-agent resume test

The handoff removal deleted it alongside the terminal-owner tests, but it
covers the surfaced-PTY block that still guards resume, including an agent
whose ownership is unknown.

* perf(native-chat): a publish behind a delivered commit reads nothing

Each commit now delivers itself, so the publish a provider frame still sends
afterwards found every reader caught up but still read rows and rebuilt the
timeline for each one. A caught-up reader now skips the read.

* test(native-chat): state why the teardown test's fake journal is safe to cast

* docs(native-chat): say mutation admission checks only the writer lease

* docs(native-chat): drop the send rebase from comments that still described it

* fix(native-chat): a message is accepted, then delivered

A send to a chat with no running agent restarted the agent inside the send
call, before the message was recorded, so the client waited for the whole
start and a failed restart refused the message. Claude held prompts sent
during startup, and those could settle as "unconfirmed".

A send is now accepted inside the session's serialized queue: one ledger row
and one submission row marked handoverRecorded, published, answered pending.
A per-session delivery loop exists while a message is queued. It starts the
agent through the same serialized attach a hold uses, waits outside the queue
for a Claude child to prove its start, and hands the oldest queued message
over as its own serialized step, writing dispatch{pending} before the adapter
call. A start it needed and did not get writes one error-tone row and rejects
every queued message with the same words; a start Stop cancelled writes none.

Settlement follows from the rows. A queued message is provably unwritten, so a
close, an eviction or an exit rejects it. A handed-over message stays in doubt.
A queued row at or below the sequence a handle found when it opened was left
by an earlier process and is rejected at open, with no latch. Stop withdraws
queued messages with no writer lease and no fence. An attach failure keeps the
conversation open, and the attach adopts its journal. Owed work counts the
loop and queued rows.

A compaction or rewind found prepared when a conversation opens was started
under a child this process no longer has, so the open settles it rather than
leaving it to refuse every send until a view attaches. The open cursor is
scoped to its epoch, because sequences restart when an epoch is replaced.

Deleted: restart-before-admission, recordFailedRestart, the fence rebase,
Claude's startup gate, the attach's forget on failure and its own crash
boundary. Clients without agent-session.accepted-send.v1 get their reply held
until the handover; the desktop and paired desktop lists advertise it.

* fix(native-chat): settle queued messages only for the child that ended

A child that proved its start and then exited before its message was handed
over left the message queued: the exit settlement returned early when nothing
else was in flight. Delivery then started another child for it, and a child
that died the same way started another, without end and without a row.

A retried settlement for an earlier generation, run by the attach that
delivery started, did the opposite: with that generation's turn unfinished it
rejected the message queued for the child being attached.

The settlement now takes the rejection for queued messages from its caller.
The unexpected exit and the eviction pass one, and it applies even with no
other work in flight; the retry for an earlier generation passes none.

* fix(native-chat): an adoption that fails to import keeps the conversation open

The attach now writes into the conversation's own open journal, but a failed
transcript import still closed it as if it were the attach's provisional one.
The conversation stayed indexed with a closed journal, so every later send
answered "could not be recorded" and every attach failed again until the app
restarted. The import now closes only a journal the attach opened for itself.

* perf(native-chat): the recovering open reads the journal once

Every conversation open now goes through the recovering open, including the
read restore of every chat at startup, which used to replay its journal once.
The recovering open replayed it twice: once to probe it and again inside the
open. The probe is now handed to the open as its load.

* fix(native-chat): an attach that fails after indexing its child leaves no child behind

A failed attach now keeps the conversation open, but a failure after
`onAttached` indexed the child (the rewind or compaction recovery, or the
attach's own success record) left that entry claiming a child the failure
path had already released. The next send found the phantom, skipped the start,
and wrote at a fence the journal had moved past, so the message stayed queued
for good. The entry now drops the released child and its event sink, and
follows the record's fence, as a failure before indexing already did.

* fix(native-chat): a withdrawn message shows no error, and a rejection outlasts the send's answer

The error strip for a message the host accepted and then did not deliver matched the entry before
the outbox reconciled, so a Stop's withdrawal, which the reconcile drops, showed "Orca could not
send your message" with nothing to retry. It now reads the reconciled entry.

A rejection the journal records before the send's own pending answer lands is final as well:
that answer no longer puts the entry back to dispatching with no Retry.

* fix(orchestration): a structured worker whose agent outlasts the preamble wait is left unknown, not torn down

The preamble waits for its submission to be delivered while the worker's agent starts. When that
wait ran out it threw operation_unknown, and the failed-start teardown then closed the session,
which rejected the very preamble the host was about to deliver. It now reports a turn start
nobody observed yet: the worker is start-unknown with its session kept, the host delivers the
preamble when the agent starts, and the worker's report settles the dispatch as for any
unobserved start. The receipt no longer suggests reading a screen a structured worker lacks.

* fix(native-chat): a message rejected while its chat was closed reads as not sent

A remount reads an entry it left dispatching as unconfirmed. When the journal had rejected it
meanwhile, as a failed start or a quit now does, the reconcile left it unconfirmed: it blocked
every later message behind a Retry and no reason, and the delivery probe, seeing the journal
already answered, never ran. The reconcile now settles it as rejected like a dispatching one.

* test(orchestration): name why the readiness settlement fakes are cast

* fix(native-chat): keep each pane's own fence on frames so a failed restart is not resent

* docs(native-chat): drop the fence from the admission the send effects run behind

* docs(native-chat): give the fence move on release the reason that still holds

* docs(native-chat): stop citing a write fence check in launch and mailbox comments

Three places still gave the removed fence check as a reason: the launch replay said admission puts the ledger ahead of the fence, the launch surface said a send must name the lease it was admitted against, and the direct-mailbox path said the lease fence decides whether delivery is safe. Admission now checks only the writer lease.

* refactor(native-chat): the provider child is its own record

A conversation now outlives any number of provider children, so the child is one record on the
conversation's entry instead of five loose fields beside its journal. It is written in one place:
indexed only once an attach has fully succeeded, and ended through one function that an exit, a
failed re-attach, a Stop and an eviction all share, matched on the child's generation and fence.

- A failed attach writes no child, so there is nothing to unwind: the field unwind and the fence
  patch after it are gone.
- Conversation writes read the record's fence, the way mutation admission already does; a child's
  own writes use its fence. The four stored-fence patches, and the settlement retry's overwrite of
  the conversation's fence, are gone.
- The owed wind-down is its own tombstone, carrying the child it is owed for, and is no longer
  dropped when an attach replaced the whole entry.
- Stop on a child still proving its start stops only the child: its lease goes back and the chat
  is told it is idle, but the journal, the holders and the readers stay. Close is that stop plus
  the conversation's close.
- The settlement retry uses the conversation's own journal, opened through the host's one open.

* fix(native-chat): the delivery loop alone settles a message its start or child failed

A queued message was settled by whichever path happened to end the child first: the loop, the
unexpected exit, eviction's work settlement, the open's leftover rule, and the startup branch that
rejected every pending row. That gave two failure rows with different tones for one start, a loop
that could hand over to a different child than the one it waited on, and a Claude start that died
while starting reading unlike every other failed start.

- The loop remembers the child it waited on. At handover, if that child is gone or replaced, it
  reads how it ended: a Stop continues; anything else writes one failure row and rejects every
  queued message with the same words, then stops. A child still starting whose start the adapter
  says did not land fails the same way. The exit, eviction and the settlement retry only settle
  the handed-over and legacy rows of the child that ended.
- One failure row, always an error, keyed by the start. A start a view began that dies with
  nothing queued writes the same row through the same builder, so a second report revises it.
- The open no longer rejects leftovers; the loop's first step does, and the open wakes it.
- `awaitStarted` answers why a start did not land, so the row says it even when the loop sees the
  failure before the exit is processed.
- Quit closes every conversation the way closing a chat does: what is still queued is rejected as
  closed, with or without a child, and a start the loop already has in flight is waited for so the
  child it produces is stopped rather than left behind.

* refactor(native-chat): a stopped child ends on the one reading of its stop

The eviction step reads a stop's result through `stopAgentSessionProviderRoot` and hands that
verdict to the child's ending, so the host never forms a second view of whether the root is gone.
Every ending carries it: a stop's comes from that reading, an exit's root is gone by definition,
and a failed re-attach passes what its release saw. The end-of-child record can therefore also
carry a stop whose root was not seen to go, which nothing ends on yet.

* feat(native-chat): the host says it accepts a send before any agent has it

The host now lists agent-session.accepted-send.v1 among its own runtime capabilities, the same
string capable clients already send. A client can then tell a host that answers a send at
acceptance, and admits a Stop with no writer before a turn starts, from an older one that still
restarts the agent inside the send. Additive: an older client ignores a capability it does not
know.

* refactor(native-chat): an attach never opens a journal of its own

The attach adopts the conversation's open journal, which outlives it, so it no longer opens one
for a direct caller either. That leaves nothing for a failed adopted import to close, and the flag
that told the two cases apart is gone. Tests that attach without a host open the conversation the
way a host does.

* fix(native-chat): a moved fence resends nothing on a host that accepts first

The outbox treated any fence change as a new owner: it dropped the answer of a send in flight,
queued that send to go out again under the same id, and unblocked a refused head. On an older
host that is how a send the restart refused, unrecorded, gets another try. On a host that records
every send before it starts an agent, a fence moves because that start ran, so the same rule
resent into every failed start. With a fence stamped on every frame, that became a loop.

The outbox now reacts to a fence change only when the host has not advertised that it accepts a
send before any agent has it. On such a host, only a Retry or a new send goes out, and a failed
start reaches the client as a rejected message it keeps with its Retry. Against an older host, or
before one has answered, the outbox behaves as it did. Desktop and paired web share this hook.

* refactor(native-chat): a child's end says whether the user or the host stopped it

The end-of-child record's cause now tells a user's Stop from the host stopping the child for a
cause of its own: `user-stop` and `host-stop` replace `stop`. The delivery loop goes on after a
user's Stop, as before, and fails the start it was waiting on after a host stop, with the one
error row and every queued message rejected, in the stop's reason when it gave one. The reason
stays description only. Stop passes `user-stop`; nothing passes `host-stop` yet.

* fix(native-chat): a chat whose only work is a queued message is not offered for resume

A message accepted while the agent was starting counts as working in the chat, and quit rejects it
as never sent. The teardown snapshot read the same working rule, so a relaunch offered to resume a
chat whose agent never had the message. The snapshot now reads only what was handed over.

* test(native-chat): type the queued-message fixtures in the resume-offer tests

* fix(native-chat): a start that dies while a message waits on it is that message's failed start

Opening a chat's tab starts an agent for the view, and a send accepted meanwhile waits on it. When
that start died, its exit wrote the start's error row and left the message queued, so the delivery
loop started a second agent into the same failure and wrote a second row. A child's end now records
where the conversation's journal stood, and the loop settles a message accepted before a failed
start ended with that start: one row, under its key, and no second start. A message sent after the
failure still gets a fresh start.

* docs(native-chat): say what an attach's open conversation and unconfirmed ids are now

* test(native-chat): pin what a failed start settles, and what a resume offer names

A view's child that dies while a sent message waits settles that message only when it died starting
and no child has taken its place: a proven child's crash, or a second start since, gets the message
delivered. The resume offer names the handed-over message, never a newer one still queued.

* test(native-chat): the failed-start pins fail on what the message became, not on a timeout

* test(orchestration): the preamble's host stub is typed, not cast

The preamble send now takes only what it reads of the host, the send, the settlement wait and the
record's fence, so its test builds that host with real types instead of `as never`.

* feat(native-chat): a typed failure fact beside every failure sentence

Adds the shared vocabulary the host writes a failure with: a closed failure kind, a
provider diagnostic that says who it is for (a person, or a log), and a refusal cause
beside the refusal code. Status rows gain an optional failure fact and rejected
submissions an optional rejection fact; the dispatch row carries it, the reducer reads
it field by field, and the projection forwards it. Older rows and older readers are
untouched: every field is optional and the schemas stay open.

* fix(native-chat): durable failure rows and rejection reasons are written for a person

Every host writer that records a failure now writes a sentence for a person beside a
typed fact, instead of embedding a refusal's message, an exception or a composed exit
string. A provider's own words travel as a separate diagnostic from the places Orca
composes them - the Claude and Codex exit stderr (a log), Codex's JSON-RPC message,
Claude's compact_error and Codex's turn error (for a person) - and are never inferred
from a string afterwards. Not signed in and oversized history are typed at the
adapter that detects them.

Covers start and restart failures, the delivery loop, dispatch rejections (content,
queue-full, write failures, provider refusals), cancel and answer confirmation rows,
compaction, the rewind fallback, and not_delivered, which released clients printed
as it was. Two leaks close on the way: a settlement retry no longer writes Orca's
probe evidence into the exit row, and an attach or journal-sink failure is recorded
as Orca's fault rather than as the provider stopping. The legacy rejection markers
and the reasons on sends in doubt stay byte-identical.

* feat(native-chat): refusals name their cause, and a failed start is worded in one place

A refusal now carries an optional cause beside its code: one closed enum of the situations
a chat write can meet, set at every emitter a structured-chat write reaches. Returned
refusals build it with refuse(code, cause, message). Store and host paths that raised a
bare Error(code) now throw AgentSessionRefusalError, whose message is still the code and
which has no code property; the RPC error mapper handles it before any other passthrough,
keeps today's wire code and message byte-identical, and adds { refusal: { code, cause } }
to the error's data. The hold throws it, and restart-resume files the cause beside the
unchanged reason. The operation ledger stores the cause beside the code, so a replay names
the same situation as the first answer. The store fallback copy picks its words and cause
by situation, so a stale replay or a moved lease no longer reads as a latched owner.

Every failed start is worded by structuredAgentSessionStartFailure(cause, context), which
returns the row sentence and the typed fact together; the delivery loop, the exit
settlement and the dispatch that met a starting child all call it. Provider diagnostics
are capped at the lease record's 512 characters wherever a fact is built.

* refactor(native-chat): one reader of why a submission was rejected

classifyDispatchRejection(submission) returns { category, verdict, kind? }. It reads the
typed rejection fact when the row carries one this build can place, and the legacy
markers otherwise - all six, including not_delivered, which released clients printed as
it was. The verdict is null only for a withdrawal, a host restart and a closed chat;
write failures, a full queue and not-delivered stay failures. It replaces
dispatchRejectionReasonIsInternal and every string comparison against the markers: the
outbox reconcile, the rejection notice, and the send disposition, where a replayed
Stop-withdrawn send no longer surfaces as a failed send.

The journal reducer's echo-aliasing guard reads the narrow isWriteFailureSubmission,
which matches the typed kind or the legacy prefix in any dispatch state, so its behaviour
on legacy unknown rows is unchanged.

* test(native-chat): pin provider diagnostics where they are composed

The Claude exit status and stderr, the Codex stderr tail and Codex's JSON-RPC message are
each checked at the place Orca composes its own error around them, so the typed detail
is proven to come from the provider's value and never from Orca's wording.

* fix(native-chat): an attachment Orca refuses says which limit it broke

The content check's refusals (20 images, 5 MB per image, 20 MB in total, supported types) are
written for a person, but the rejection writer replaced them all with one generic sentence.
Each refusal now carries its own sentence, in MB rather than bytes, and the writer records it
beside kind attachmentInvalid. Only an attachment that could not be read keeps the generic
sentence.

* fix(native-chat): the chat tab table refuses with a typed cause

Showing a chat tab refused with bare Error('agent_session_conflict') and
Error('agent_session_identity_required'), the only chat-reachable refusals still thrown without a
cause (opening a chat from history can reach the second when the chat is removed mid-open). Both
now throw the typed refusal; wire code and message are unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): a compaction Codex refuses up front keeps Codex's words

When Codex refused thread/compact/start, the adapter passed on only Orca's wrapped error text and
dropped Codex's own message, so the chat's row read just "Compaction failed." The refusal now
carries Codex's message as the failure detail, as a compaction that fails later already did.

* fix(native-chat): an unreadable chat record no longer promises an update fixes it

The recordUnreadable copy said a newer Orca saved the chat, but the store marks a record
unreadable for damage and key mismatches too, where updating does nothing. The sentence now says
Orca can't read it and gives both next steps.

* fix(native-chat): a restart or a close leaves released clients a sentence, not a marker

host_restarted_before_delivery and provider_closed_before_delivery are not in the markers released
desktop and mobile builds hide, so they printed raw on every rejected message a restart or a chat
close left. Neither marker has shipped. New rows carry a sentence plus kind hostRestarted or
chatClosed, as not_delivered already did; the classifier still reads both markers, and the
verdict for both stays no-failure.

* fix(native-chat): log why an attachment could not be read

The rejected message now says only that the attachment couldn't be read, so the error that said
why (a missing file, a permission, or an unexpected throw) went nowhere. It is logged instead. The
content rejection moves beside the content check that owns its errors.

* refactor(native-chat): drop an unused thrown-refusal cause reader

It had no callers, and its comment claimed it looked through wrappers, which it did not.

* fix(native-chat): a compaction the provider never confirmed is recorded as unconfirmed, not failed

* fix(native-chat): an empty or non-user message is not recorded as a bad attachment

* fix(native-chat): an undelivered preamble's error ends in one period

* refactor(native-chat): a compaction ends as compacted, failed, or unconfirmed, never an unlabelled error

* refactor(native-chat): a failure's sentence is written only from its fact

A writer could choose its sentence and its kind separately, so five writers
put hand-written words beside a fact that said something else. One shared
constructor, agentSessionFailureWords(fact, { surface, agentName }), now
makes both, and the journal types refuse anything else: a status row, a
rejected message or a conversation command that carries a fact must carry
the sentence that constructor branded. Persisted rows keep their shape.

- The sentence table and the restart table move to src/shared, as the English
  default a client copy table can reuse.
- A rejection's legacy markers come from the same constructor. A write
  failure is now the bare `provider_write_failed` marker, which released
  clients already hide; its error goes to the log.
- An image Orca refuses carries which check it failed (and the limit) in the
  fact instead of a sentence; an empty message gets its own kind, and a
  non-user message is Orca's fault.
- The exit row, the interrupted compaction, the /clear failure and the rewind
  placeholder no longer carry their own words beside a fact: the exit row
  says what its fact says, and the placeholder carries no fact.

* fix(native-chat): a start that failed without an observed exit no longer blames the provider

Every untyped start error was recorded as "The provider stopped before it
finished starting.", so an Orca fault, a failed spawn or a close that ended
a start was blamed on the provider. Only an exit the adapter observed says
so now: the Claude adapter marks the error it saw the child exit with, and
anything else is a new `startFailed` kind, "<Agent> couldn't start.", keeping
the provider's diagnostic when the error carried one. A child gone with no
end observed, and a /clear whose new conversation was refused, read the
same way.

* fix(native-chat): a view never restarts a chat whose last start failed

A Claude chat whose CLI exits during startup left one red row per start, and
every time a view bound to it (the chat opening right after its create died,
or the user switching back to it) the hold started the CLI again, so the same
launch-failure row repeated. Only a send retries a failed start now, the same
rule provider-exit recovery already applied; the rule lives in one predicate
the hold, exit recovery and the delivery loop share.

* fix(native-chat): a chat a terminal agent still holds says to quit that agent

The merged base words a restart a terminal agent's claim refused with the
refusal's own message, which names the process. That message is Orca's text
and never reaches a durable row here, so the row read only "<Agent>
couldn't restart." and lost the one step that frees the chat. The restart
sentence now derives it from the refusal's cause: a claimConflicted refusal
adds "This chat is still open in a terminal agent. Quit that agent to
continue the chat here." The live refusal still names the process.

The restart-resume ledger test now sets up a claim the base still refuses:
a terminal owner that is proven running.

* refactor(native-chat): keep the changed files inside their lint limits

The legacy-marker lookup is a table, not a non-exhaustive switch; the
preamble tests read the error without a cast; and the Codex history refusal
goes through a named constructor so its file stays under the line limit.

* test(native-chat): start the child the loop waits on with an attach, not a second view

A view no longer starts a child whose last start failed, so the R2 case that
waits on a child started since the failure now gets that child from a client
attach, the one non-send starter left.

* fix(native-chat): settle a gone generation's turn wherever a conversation opens

A send that opens a chat this process had not read yet (after a crash, from a
phone or the CLI) went through the delivery open, which never settled what the
dead generation left running; only the read restore and a successful acquire
did. When the send's start then failed, the turn stayed running for every
reader. The settlement now runs in the one journal open, at the crash boundary,
for every opener except an acquisition, which settles from the evidence it read
before its reserve; the read restore's separate step is gone.

* test(native-chat): prove the next child's start settles the turn an earlier child left

The R1 case lost its only settlement assertion when the latch it checked was
deleted. It now seeds the running turn the earlier child left and asserts it
ends at the exit's receipt, with the exit's row, before the message is handed
to the new child.

* test(native-chat): count a failed start's rows by row, not by text

Comparing the set of texts passed when two different rows carried the same
words, which is the duplicate the test exists to catch.

* test(native-chat): give the failed-start and stale-turn waits a loaded runner's budget

* refactor(native-chat): refusals carry details keyed by their code

A refusal named its situation with one flat cause list shared by every
code, so nothing stopped a site pairing a code with a situation that code
never means, and the loose fields released clients read (fence, revision,
resolution, verdict, rewind reason) were written by hand at each emitter.

A refusal is now one variant per code with optional details: a reason that
code lists plus that code's own facts. refuse(code, details, message)
rejects a reason the code does not list at compile time, and it is the one
place the loose top-level fields are copied from details, so released
clients read exactly what they read before. A site that cannot name its
situation uses refuseUnclassified, which carries facts but no reason, the
same as an older host; there is no catch-all reason.

Thrown refusals put { refusal: { code, details } } in the RPC error's data
(wire code and message unchanged). The operation ledger, the restart-resume
record and a restart failure's embedded refusal keep details beside the
code and read them back against it; a row an unreleased build wrote with a
cause parses and reads as naming none.

* test(native-chat): pin the open's and the send's start and row counts, however the view binds

Opening a fresh chat whose starts fail makes one start and one row, with two
views bound before or after the create's child died; one send makes one more
of each.

* test(native-chat): a restart-resume failure keeps its refusal details

The recovery capsule reads a failure's details back against the refusal
code in its reason: facts the code does not list and a reason another code
owns are dropped, and a record an unreleased build wrote with a cause
still parses, naming nothing.

* test(native-chat): import the failure words once in the provider child test

The merge left two imports of the same modules.

* fix(native-chat): settle a gone generation's turn at every open but an acquisition's

The journal open skipped the settlement whenever the lease read reserved or
live, to leave an acquisition's own open to the acquisition. But a lease a
crashed process left in recovery also reads live, until the next acquire
resolves it. A send that opened such a chat, from a phone or the CLI after a
crash on a host that could not prove the old owner gone, skipped the
settlement; when its start then failed, the dead turn stayed running for every
reader. The acquisition now says it is the opener, and every other open
settles, whatever the lease still claims.

* test(native-chat): hold the create's start open until the views bind

The "view binds while the create is still starting" case gave the create a
300 ms head start and asserted the views bound before it died. On a loaded
runner the holds took longer, the create's exit landed first, and the case
failed its own precondition. The create's initialize now waits on a gate the
test releases once the views are bound.

* fix(native-chat): a start the provider refused or Orca broke no longer says the provider stopped

A failed start whose cleanup proved the child gone was typed as
`providerStartFailed` whatever failed it: Codex refusing to resume a thread,
a timeout, or Orca's own store fault. The chat then read "The provider
stopped before it finished starting.", which was untrue, and the provider's
own words were dropped. A refused restart also inferred the same from an
`exited` verdict, which only says nothing runs now.

Only an exit the adapter observed names that situation now; anything else
is refused with no reason, keeping its verdict, and the chat reads
"<Agent> couldn't restart.". The provider's words travel host-side from
where the acquisition failed into the start-failure fact's detail, never
onto the refusal, and the sentence does not quote them. What failed is
logged once where the start failed.

* fix(native-chat): a refused /clear start keeps the situation it named

The replacement start that /clear makes built its own start-failure fact,
so a refusal that named its situation, such as not being signed in or a
history too large to restore, was recorded as a bare "couldn't start". It
now takes its fact from the same start-failure function as every other
start, as a new session that failed to start.

* fix(native-chat): the journal schema and comments describe a refusal's details, not its cause

The persisted failure fact's schema still described `refusal.cause`, which
this branch replaced with `details`. It now describes `details` as an
optional open object; a row an earlier build wrote with a `cause` still
parses. A comment and three test descriptions that still named the cause
now name the details.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude child that exits while being acquired still reads as the provider stopping

Now that only an exit the adapter observed says the provider stopped, the
exit the Claude adapter saw during acquisition has to be marked where it is
seen, as the exit after acquisition already is. Without the mark, a Claude
CLI that exited at spawn read "Claude couldn't restart." instead of "The
provider stopped before it finished starting."

* fix(native-chat): word a failed chat start's refusal as its start failure

A chat whose agent failed to start answered the create with the raw error: the launch strip read "Chat could not be started. claude stream-json exited (code 1): claude: not signed in", and the ledger replayed the same text. The first answer and the replay now carry the sentence the chat's start-failure row reads as ("The provider stopped before it finished starting.", "Claude couldn't start.", the not-signed-in and history-too-large sentences), and the raw error goes to the log. A store refusal's code and the unproven-exit marker are unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): show Claude's API retries as one sentence row

While Claude retried a refused request (a 429, say), the chat gained one red row per attempt reading "rate_limit", with the raw retry frame behind Details. Each retry run now writes one warning row that later attempts revise in place: "Claude is rate-limited and retrying." for a rate limit (error `rate_limit` or status 429), and "Claude hit a temporary problem and is retrying." otherwise. The row carries a `providerRetrying` fact with the provider's error type and status, and the frame as a log detail capped at 512 characters.

* fix(native-chat): tell the user to run /clear again when its new conversation can't start

When /clear's replacement conversation failed to start, the result told the user to "send your message again", which would go into the old conversation. The failure words now take the command the start was for, so a failed /clear reads "Codex is not signed in for the selected account. Sign in, then run /clear again.", "Codex couldn't start. Run /clear again." or "The provider stopped before it finished starting. Run /clear again." A message send keeps its wording.

* test(native-chat): expect a failed Claude create to be refused in a sentence

The runtime suites asserted the CLI's stderr reached the create refusal; it now goes to the log and the refusal reads as the chat's start failure.

* fix(native-chat): name the agent that stopped starting and say how to retry a failed start

A start the provider ended now reads "Claude stopped before it finished starting." (or "The agent ..." when the chat's agent is unknown) instead of naming "the provider". A start or restart that failed with a chat left to retry now ends in "Send your message to try again.", or "Run /clear again." for /clear; released clients print only this sentence. A message rejected at dispatch because its child died while starting names the same agent as the start's row.

* refactor(native-chat): drop the composer's second error formatter

After the merge with main, every chat write in the composer path reports its
failure as a typed outcome worded by the refusal-notice table, so the send's
catch sees only a local throw. The {code, message} formatter this branch added
for it has no payload left to format, and its claim to be the one way a chat
words a failure is no longer true. The composer send is main's again.

* test(native-chat): pin the reason on a message rejected while its chat was closed

The reopen test checked only that the message reads as not sent; it now also
checks the Retry row carries the host's reason.

* fix(native-chat): answer a create refused before spawn in the words its replay reads

A create that failed before any process started threw Orca's own error text as its first answer,
while its replay from the operation ledger read the generic start sentence. The two refusals a
person can act on, a launch whose Anthropic sign-in variables override the managed Claude account
and a Claude account switch in progress, are now typed where they are thrown and worded by the
shared failure constructor, so the first answer and the replay say the same thing. Every other
pre-spawn failure reads the generic start sentence, with its own text in the log. The first answer
keeps its wire code; a message that is itself a code is unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): say how to retry after an agent stopped before it finished starting

"<Agent> stopped before it finished starting." gave no next step outside /clear, unlike every other
failed start. It now ends "Send your message to try again.", the same step a start or restart that
could not run gives; after /clear it still says "Run /clear again."

* fix(native-chat): say how to reach a Claude chat when a WSL Claude account blocks it

A Claude chat that restarts while a Claude account is added in WSL and no Windows Claude account is selected was refused before spawn with Orca's own text as its first answer, and the generic start sentence on replay. The refusal is now typed where the account gate throws, and both answers read the same sentence: choose or add a Windows Claude account in Claude Accounts settings, then send the message again. Account settings that cannot be read name no situation and keep the generic sentence.

* fix(native-chat): say the reason a host names for a refused chat write

A refused Stop, answer, setting, goal, command or queued message now reads the refusal's reason as
well as its code. A code stands for several situations, so the code alone could only say what did
not happen; with the reason, the notice says why and, where the person has a step to take, what it
is: "The agent is still responding. The command didn't run. Wait for the agent to finish
responding, or stop it." The phone uses the same words.

The notice table keys on code, then reason, then the kind of write. Every reason of every code has
an entry, so a reason the host adds does not compile until it has words; a reason whose honest
words are its code's keeps the code's row. A refusal with no reason, or one this build does not
know, reads exactly as before, which is what an older host gets. A start that failed reuses the
failure row's own sentence rather than a second one.

A queued message keeps the reason, the rewind reason and the owner's verdict with its saved
failure, and a rejected one keeps the host's typed fact without its provider detail. Nothing that
moves with the owner or comes from the provider is saved; entries saved before this load as they
were. The saved failure moves to its own module beside the words chosen from it.

* fix(native-chat): retry a refused send under a new id only once its agent is proven gone

A send refused because Orca could not tell who owns the chat keeps its operation id, since the
first attempt may still land. When the refusal also says the agent process has exited, nothing can
run that attempt, so the message moves to its Retry row under a new id instead of holding the queue.

The owner's verdict is read as a floor: a saved `exited` is final, and any other saved verdict never
changes the id on its own. Only a verdict re-derived from the current lease can raise it to
`exited`, and nothing lowers a saved `exited`. Today no host sends a verdict on a send refusal, so
nothing a person sees changes; the rule is in place for the saved verdict a reload reads back.

* fix(native-chat): say a /clear that never finished did not finish, instead of that it cleared the chat

A send into a chat whose /clear started but never committed was refused as if the conversation had been cleared: "This conversation has been cleared. Your message was not sent. Open the current conversation to continue." The clear never finished, so its new conversation may not exist and there is nothing to open. That refusal now has its own reason and reads "The last /clear didn't finish. Your message was not sent. Start a new chat to continue.", which is the only way on today. Its message for released clients says the same: "The last /clear didn't finish. Start a new chat to continue." Only a committed /clear still says the conversation was cleared.

* fix(native-chat): a send the provider never received after a restart has no verdict

Restart reconciliation rejects a crash-stranded send the provider's history
proves it never received. Nobody failed that send, but the verdict table
treated it as a failure. Each rejection kind now has its verdict in one
exhaustive table, so a new kind does not compile until its verdict is chosen;
no verdict for a withdrawal, a host restart, a chat close, or this lost send.

A rejection whose kind this build cannot place, such as one a newer host
added, now reads as undelivered with no verdict instead of falling back to the
reason beside it: all it proves is that the message did not happen. The host
keeps such a fact's kind when it reads the row back, rather than dropping it
and letting the reason decide.

Only kinds that can be why a message was not sent may reject one, by type:
compaction, cancel/answer confirmation and provider-retry kinds stay on status
rows. The one dispatch-row builder takes its input from the type that makes a
rejected row carry its fact.

* fix(native-chat): a send refused after its agent exited keeps its place in the queue

When Orca cannot tell who owns a chat but the refusal says the agent process
has exited, the next attempt may use a new id, since nothing can run the old
one. It no longer marks the message as rejected: nothing recorded it, so it
still holds the head of the queue, and later messages wait behind it instead
of being sent ahead of it.

* fix(native-chat): stop reading a provider's words from an error that contains itself

A cleanup that aggregates errors restarted the depth count for each one, so an
aggregate error that contains itself recursed until the host ran out of stack.
One depth bound now covers both the cause chain and the aggregated errors.

* fix(native-chat): say a chat whose history can't be read can't continue, and to start a new one

A read of a chat's history is refused with `agent_session_journal_unreadable` only when the chat's journal file is corrupt or not a database, which no retry can change. The notice table had no words for a read at all, so a pane had nothing to show but the raw code. Reading a chat's history is now its own request kind, `read-history`, and that refusal on it reads "This chat's history couldn't be read, so it can't continue here. Start a new chat to continue.", whether the host names the reason or raises the bare code. A write refused under the same code keeps its words, because its cause is any failed open, which can clear. Any other read refusal says only "This chat's history couldn't be loaded." `agentSessionReadHistoryRefusalParts(code, details)` gives a pane those words from a read error.

The notice sentences move to their own module so the table stays within its size limit.

* fix(native-chat): decide what every way a child ends means for queued messages in one table

What a child's end means for the messages queued behind it was an if-chain: a user's Stop was checked in one place, a host stop in another, and every other cause, including one added later, fell through to "the provider exited". It is now one table over every end cause, so a new cause does not compile until someone says whether it fails what is queued and how. A user's Stop still fails nothing, a host stop is still Orca's fault, and an exit, a failed attach or an eviction still carry the failure the end recorded. Nothing a person sees changes.

* test(native-chat): a close that stops the child and then fails rejects what is queued by how the child ended

When a chat closes, stops its agent, and then fails a later step, the chat stays open with its messages still queued. The delivery loop then rejects them by the way the child ended: an eviction during startup reads as a failed start, otherwise as the provider having stopped, and either counts as a failure. The cases are rows over the end cause, so another way a chat closes is one more row.

* test(native-chat): type the refusal a persisted-schema test admits

* fix(native-chat): say whether a chat's history is damaged or just couldn't open

A write refused because the chat's journal would not open named one reason, `journalUnreadable`, for every failed open, and a read of the history took that same reason as final. So the words depended on what was asked, not on what happened: a busy or permission-denied open could tell a person to start a new chat, and a damaged one could read as something that clears.

The host now decides at the refusal which it was. `journalCorrupt` is set only when SQLite itself reports the journal damaged or not a database (SQLITE_CORRUPT or SQLITE_NOTADB, extended codes included, read from the driver's result code and never from message text, through any `cause` chain). Every other failed open is `journalUnavailable`. A corrupt history reads "This chat's history couldn't be read, so it can't continue here. Start a new chat to continue.", with "Your message was not sent." before the step on a send. One that couldn't open reads "Orca couldn't open this chat's history right now. Try again.", likewise on a send. A host that names no reason gets "Orca couldn't read this chat's saved history.", which promises neither, because damage can't be proven from the code alone.

The refusal's message, which released clients print for a send, is now that person sentence instead of the open error's own text; the error is logged instead. `journalUnreadable` is replaced outright: no released build wrote it, and a stored one reads as a refusal with no reason.

* docs(native-chat): say why a history that couldn't open names its retry step

* fix(native-chat): a failed start's row keeps the words its rejected messages carry

When the delivery loop settles a failed start before the child's exit is published, it writes the
start's error row and rejects every queued message with the adapter's startup answer. The exit
settlement then rewrote the same row from the exit event, so the row could say one thing while the
rejected messages, which are terminal, said another. The exit now leaves a start's row it finds
already written.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude start Orca itself failed no longer says Claude stopped

Every error that ended a Claude session was marked as an exit the adapter
observed, including a start Orca failed while the CLI was still running: a
saved option whose restore lost its answer, an init frame naming another
session, or a journal write fault. Those read "Claude stopped before it
finished starting." although Claude never stopped on its own. The mark now
stays where the child's exit is seen (the connection's exit callback), so
those starts read "Claude couldn't start." with any diagnostic beside it,
and a real exit before the start lands still says Claude stopped.

* fix(native-chat): name the agent that stopped, and blame Orca for its own closes

A chat that lost its agent mid-response said "The provider stopped…", and a
started Claude session that Orca itself closed after a journal fault said the
same, as if Claude had exited on its own.

The exit row and the rejected-message reason now name the chat's agent ("Claude
stopped while this response was in progress…", "Codex stopped before this
message was sent."), or "The agent" when the name is unknown; the stale-state
settlement now passes the agent name too. After a Claude start has landed, the
ended event reports providerExited only when the child's own exit was observed;
any other close is Orca's fault and reads as one.

* test(native-chat): pin the sidebar verdict to the rejection classifier for every kind and legacy marker

* fix(native-chat): blame Orca, not Codex, when Orca closes the Codex child

A Codex chat that Orca itself closed (a journal sink that could not take a
frame, or a forced close) said "Codex stopped while this response was in
progress", as if Codex had exited on its own.

Orca's own close path now reports hostFault. providerExited is left to the
app-server connection's exit callback, which the connection withholds while Orca
is closing the child, so it only ever reports the child's own exit.

* fix(native-chat): a chat whose history is damaged reads "Unable to load this chat."

* fix(native-chat): route the conversation-outlives-agent writers through the typed refusals

Three writers that arrived with the merge wrote refusals the old way:

- An operation that starts the agent itself, such as a goal change, turned any error the start
  threw into a refusal whose message was Orca's own error text, which released clients print.
  It now logs the error and says only that the agent couldn't restart.
- An option picked while the chat is at rest, for a key the provider would not accept, is refused
  with the rejected-option reason, like the same pick on a running agent.
- A restart continuation whose agent was refused a start filed the rejected message's sentence as
  the failure's reason. It files the refusal's code with its details again, which is what the
  restart-failure guidance keys on.

* fix(native-chat): a start Orca stopped because it never finished reads as that

The idle sweep now stops an agent whose start never finished and rejects the messages waiting on
it. The chat read "Orca ran into a problem, so this didn't go through. Try again." for that,
because every host stop was worded as Orca's own fault. It now reads "Codex never finished
starting, so Orca stopped it." in the chat's row and on each rejected message, carried as its own
failure kind so newer clients can tell it apart. The message counts as failed, like any start that
did not land.

* test(native-chat): pin the merged close and host-stop rows to their typed facts

The merge left two expectations on the old words: the close tests looked for the marker a close
used to write, and the host-stop test for the host-fault sentence. A close now writes "The chat
closed before this message was sent." with its fact, and a host stop the hostStopped sentence the
constructor gives, whatever reason the stop carried. Also folds the conversation command's two
imports from send preparation into one.

* fix(native-chat): a read of a chat this host cannot open says why

Reads now reach a chat through one accessor, which refused a missing record and a provider this
host does not run as a bare code with nothing beside it. Revealing the same chat already names
those reasons, so a client could tell "this chat no longer exists" and "update Orca" apart there
but not on the history or subscribe read that follows. The accessor now throws the same typed
refusals. The wire code and message are unchanged; the reason rides only in the error's data,
which released clients ignore.

* test(native-chat): a Claude retrying past the idle window keeps its conversation open

Every api_retry frame publishes the journal, and that publish is the activity the idle sweep reads, so a retry run revised into one row still renews the clock on each attempt.
