Neil 1578716eb0 revert(runtime): temporarily restore the previous host Node minimum (#26823)
This reverts commit 46460d49c7 (#26171).

Pause the Node 24 requirement so existing SSH and WSL users are not
surprised by a host-runtime upgrade requirement in the next release.
This is a precautionary rollout hold requested to avoid near-term user
disruption, not a cancellation of the Node 24 transition.

Restore the prior Node 18 host minimum and companion build targets.
The previously shipped bundled Node 24 runtime and compatibility launcher
remain in place. Preserve the original change in a separate draft PR for
reintroduction after compatibility and rollout validation.

OrcaWinandm4air 8c2cd7d331 feat(ai-vault): read remote OpenCode history with the pinned Node; remove Bun (#24128)
* feat(ai-vault): read OpenCode history with the pinned Node instead of Bun

SSH hosts whose Node lacks node:sqlite (or its backup(), which 22.13-22.15
omit) now get the pinned Node in the shared ~/.orca-remote/runtimes/node-<sha>
store orcad uses: POSIX hosts receive the official archive and extract and
hash-verify it on the host; Windows hosts receive the verified node.exe the
client extracted, promoted by host Node with the same hash check. WSL distros
use the same layout and checks under ~/.cache/orca/runtimes/.

The Bun release pin table and its materializer are deleted. Old relays keep
reading their vault-sqlite/<sha>/bun references; nothing deletes those files.
An unconfirmed runtime upload now keeps its stage instead of removing it.

* refactor(sqlite): drop the Bun SQLite adapter; node:sqlite is the only backend

Nothing outside Electron runs on Bun any more (design D4), so SyncDatabase
loses its Bun branch, and bun-sqlite-database, bun-sqlite-statement and
bun-readonly-wal go, with the relay's bun:sqlite external. The profile-state
backup worker admits Electron or an entry that exists, and startup errors
name the pinned Node. The D7 cross-runtime gate still runs Bun 1.4.2, now
reaching Bun's SQLite through its node:sqlite.

* test(native-chat): drop the Bun SQLite driver case now that node:sqlite is the only backend

OrcaWinandm4air 3fe4b18dae fix(ai-vault): require node:sqlite backup support in remote SQLite probes (#24086)
* fix(ai-vault): require the full SyncDatabase node:sqlite surface in host SQLite probes

The SSH and WSL OpenCode probes admitted any Node with DatabaseSync, so
Node 22.13-22.15 hosts (no backup export) skipped the pinned-runtime
fallback. Share one admission predicate with isSqliteAvailable() and
embed its source in both probe scripts.

* build(cli): list the node:sqlite admission predicate in the CLI project

## ELI5

Orca now treats orchestration like a durable control plane instead of inferring success from terminal keystrokes. Agents can tell whether a prompt was accepted or a turn started, replay an ambiguous request without sending twice, and recover coordinator mail after a crash. Completed workers can be inspected, released, or retained, and their panes no longer auto-resume as if the work were still running.

## What changed

- **Run receipts** from `run-create/use/current/show/list` are the row without routing plumbing (`home_database`, `coordinator_pane_key`) and without the duplicate `binding` object.
- **`terminal send` receipts are honest and idempotent.** `input_accepted` and `turn_started` are the only stages; `--wait-submit` observes without resending; `--retry-request <uuid>` replays the exact request against the same process incarnation. A transport timeout keeps the retry ID; only a different runtime answering strips it. Value-less or non-UUID `--retry-request` is rejected on the CLI and the SSH shim.
- **Mailbox delivery is committed before wakeup.** Pointer writes are staged in the DB before any PTY byte, replayed once after restart, and never emit a naked Enter. The watermark that parks concurrent deliveries is released with the DB reservation. Restart rescans pointer-pending and `dispatch:` mailboxes.
- **Lifecycle is a guarded transition graph** (`lifecycle-transition.ts`) with a table-driven test over every caller edge. Task reopen/overturn stays in the public contract. A PTY exit during `worker-stop` is the stop succeeding, not a failure.
- **Worker lifecycle CLI:** `worker-start` (`--spec` creates Task + attempt in one call), `worker-show`, `worker-read` (provider transcript first, bounded terminal fallback with a typed reason, local/WSL/SSH), `worker-stop`, `worker-abandon`, `worker-release`, `worker-retain`, `worker-list` (rowid-fenced pagination, fleet liveness, `attention`, literal `nextAction`).
- **Release is an explicit ownership table** (`decideWorkerTerminalRelease`): only an `owned` resource can be settled, the archive is mandatory where reachable, and an owner whose process is proven exited can always get out of `retained` via `archive_status: unavailable`. User-taken-over, external, and transferred panes stay retained.
- **Settled-worker resume fence** (folds in #17651): a settled dispatch whose pane is still open is fenced at settlement, on stop/abandon/exit, and at startup; lifted on release, retain, takeover, and pane reuse.
- **Liveness is `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited` only**, from execution-host evidence. Fleet projection reads the evidence clock, not the relay delivery clock. A host-certified exit outranks the worker's settled state. `unverifiable` never authorizes stop, abandon, retry, or release, in code or in the guide.
- **Federation:** structured reads negotiate by `method_not_found` so every shipped host keeps transcript-first output; exited remote workers are closed before being reported closed; epoch fencing holds across peer restart, downgrade, and pairing rotation; no per-second forced capability probe.
- **Schema v35:** repairs databases stamped v34 by the pre-fix branch (mailbox_handle default, index predicates), drops the write-only `lifecycle_transition_receipts` ledger and five never-read v31 identity columns.
- **Schema v36:** `dispatch:<id>` mailboxes get a real consumer generation on `dispatch_contexts` and `remote_dispatch_attachments`, bumped and fenced in the same transaction on every re-attach (manual inject, worker-start, federated attach). A stale worker whose Dispatch moved to another process now gets `consumer_fenced` instead of silently acking the new worker's Delivery. Run mailboxes already worked this way.
- **Schema v37:** `dispatch_contexts` records its creator (`creator_handle`, `creator_pane_key`), so a coordinator's context-only self-dispatch is bookkeeping rather than a nesting parent; before this, one self-dispatch made every later `worker-start` from that coordinator fail the depth cap. Pre-v37 rows keep counting (fails closed).
- **Dispatch-mailbox ownership is checked, not inferred.** A `check` from a process whose pane no longer holds the Dispatch, or whose last Attempt was abandoned/failed and moved to another terminal, gets `consumer_fenced` instead of an empty inbox that reads as "no mail yet". `--peek`/`--all` stay readable. A paneless caller still gets `stable_pane_required` with the rebind recovery.
- **Liveness certification is stricter:** a `process_exited` stage whose termination reason is `unknown` (a stop that was issued but never observed) projects `unverifiable`, not `exited`. Federated `worker-show` carries the execution host's verdict and host kind instead of a local guess. A live, ready worker with nothing pending has `nextAction: none` rather than pointing at the `worker-show` that produced it.
- **Wire:** `workerShow` keeps `dispatch.task_id` next to `taskId` for shipped CLIs. `ask --json` uses the standard `{ok, result}` envelope like every sibling verb.
- **Migration start-version detection** treats the two v32 recovery columns as versioned. Before this, every shipped database stamped below 32 resolved to the v6 floor and replayed the whole chain (the v23 backfill synthesized 68 phantom retained workers on a real v30 profile). Verified on a copy of a real 62 MB v30 profile: starts at 30, no row delta, integrity ok, 11 ms.
- **Skill guide** rewritten as a ≤200-line kernel plus seven references, to the outcome-first standard (Result / Done / Safe failure first, conditions not case lists, one done bar, references loaded at the point of use). The canonical loop uses `worker-start --spec`, names `worker-list` for completion accounting, documents `--retry-request` / `request-show` / `--wait-submit`, and requires positive evidence before any stall action. The other seven guides get the same treatment in #18724, split out so this PR stays orchestration-only.
- **`rpc/methods/orchestration-*`** (126 flat files) regrouped into `orchestration/{worker,federation,messaging,runs,gates}/`.

## Why

User reports showed the same boundary failures: false `agent_prompt_stalled` causing duplicate sends (#15180), coordinators unable to trust screen scrapes, cold-parked terminals receiving a pointer without the submit, settled workers accumulating as live tabs and auto-resuming after restart, and no way to tell a stalled worker from a working one.

## Linked issues

Fixes #15180. Fixes #17935 (orchestration skill description is 866 characters; a guard now caps every bundled skill at 1,024). Supersedes #17651 (fence folded in). Advances #16660, #16522, #14907, #13047.

## Review record

This PR was reviewed adversarially after revival: eight independent lenses (lifecycle, mailbox, send, worker, federation, transcript, complexity, live ergonomics), each required to prove findings with a failing test. That produced 16 proven blockers, all fixed with red-then-green regression tests, followed by two re-review rounds and a third fix wave that caught 3 regressions introduced by the fixes and 7 fixes that missed their target; all closed. A final pass (five lenses incl. a live built-runtime smoke, then a re-review of the fix wave) found and fixed seven more, chiefly the stale-worker mailbox steal, the self-dispatch depth wedge, and the unproven-exit certification. Three independent Codex (gpt-6-astra) passes followed: the first found nothing new, the second found and fixed 3 defects (task-status reachability, WSL-local host classification, peer-capability epoch), the third found and fixed 6 (production PTY controller never installed settled writes, ambiguous in-flight pointer failures allowed duplicate replay, SSH/relay deadlines cut off a valid `--wait-submit`, stop-vs-exit race during inspection, and two release-recovery paths for vanished or exited terminals). The full record (findings, proof tests, triage, declines with reasons) is archived outside the repo.

**Rework after the live smoke.** A first live cross-host run on the shipped adhoc build (this Mac, a paired Windows host on the same build, a paired Mac on 1.4.195, and an SSH host) found a P1: a running local worker read `unverifiable`/`missing_status` because the fleet snapshot rows lacked the terminal handle the matcher keyed on. A 59-row failure table over every bug fixed during review showed the same two classes recurring: a fact dropped in transit through optional fields, and two authorities for one fact. Two blind designs (Opus, Codex) converged on the same mechanisms, and the scoped tranches landed here with red-then-green seam tests from the real producer to the real consumer, faults injected only at the transport or hook-ingest boundary:

- **Settlement (data-loss class):** one three-valued `WriteSettlement` (`accepted | refused{reason} | unverifiable{reason, bytesHandedToTransport}`) from the SSH multiplexer through daemon client, providers, controller, to pointer staging. No boolean, no rejection-as-third-state. The two silent degrades that fabricated a handoff are deleted; a provider that cannot settle refuses before any effect. Pointer text and Enter share the contract; a partial flush is `unverifiable`, never `refused`.
- **Evidence identity (false-liveness class):** fleet agent-status evidence is a tagged union (`binding: worker | pane | unresolved{reason}`, `clock: observed | delivery`) minted once at ingest, so a hook row captured on one process incarnation can never bind to a later dispatch on the same pane. The matcher's `!worker.paneKey ||` defaults are gone. One host-scope parser replaces two.
- **Small pre-merge items:** `capability_unsupported` from an old peer is no longer relabelled `host_unavailable`; a producer census test asserts every agent-status consumer path projects a pane-only hook row as `live`.

Two ergonomics defects the second live run surfaced on a real database are fixed here too: a pre-v3 dispatch already marked `completed` projected as `outcome_unknown` / `requiresAction: true` forever (three copies of the outcome ladder disagreed on legacy rows; now one resolver, legacy `completed` reads `succeeded` with nothing to act on, legacy `failed` stays actionable on the failure), and an unscoped `worker-list` enumerated the entire database (now defaults to the Run bound to the calling terminal, `--run` overrides, and the receipt's additive `scope` field says which).

A third live round on the shipped adhoc build of `b082443e1f` (same four hosts) plus an unscripted run in the user's own prompt style (a plain Claude Code shell, `/orchestration`, three workers, zero errors, bound-Run default confirmed) found two more branch defects, fixed with red-then-green tests: a worker freshly started on a paired server projected `unverifiable`/`host_indeterminate` with `requiresAction` for ~3 minutes, including after its own `worker_done`, because the host's federation observation returned `missing_liveness_verdict` for any PTY the liveness register had not yet swept (the host now reads a connected pane it owns locally as `live`; disconnected or SSH-scoped panes stay `unverifiable`); and six pre-v3 completed rows still carried an `input` category because settling through the task-status path or `failDispatch` never closed the Dispatch's pending question threads (both paths close them now, and schema v38 closes threads already pending on settled rows). The guide's `worker-start` examples now show `--model sonnet`, since an omitted model inherits the launcher's default.

A Codex adversarial pass on the tranche diff found one real design hole (identity minted at read time instead of ingest, now closed) and two daemon settlement paths that threw instead of settling (fixed). Two `@ts-nocheck` runtime mixins on these paths were extracted into checked modules; the repo-wide `@ts-nocheck` count is unchanged at 171.

Deletions during review: ~1,900 lines (write-only ledger, unread columns, dead v1 archive path, test harnesses shipped in prod, duplicated liveness and state-machine copies, self-capability checks that were compile-time true).

## Testing

- `pnpm typecheck:tsc:node|cli|web` clean
- `pnpm run check:code-quality:changed` 0 findings; `check:react-doctor:changed` 0
- `pnpm verify:bundled-skill-guides`, `verify:skill-bundle-manifest`
- full `pnpm test` on the integrated head: 72,332 pass / 292 skipped; the only failures were three non-PR files (two zsh live-shell suites hit a node-pty spawn-helper ENOENT while a concurrent native rebuild ran, 44/44 in isolation; `release-checkout.unit.test.ts` is a known 30 s load timeout that passes in isolation on `origin/main` too).
- CI on 70b4811267 (rerun, pre-Codex): the only reds are five SSH e2e specs plus `terminal-send-agent-prompt-submit:198`, each shown failing identically on main (main's E2E workflow is red on its last 40 runs). The terminal-send spec is root-caused and fixed separately in #18707. The Windows hook-service flake (#17721) and the federation load flake did not recur.
- Skills: `pnpm exec vitest run` over the skill gate files plus `src/cli`, `config/scripts`, `src/main/skills` pass; live smoke on the built CLI of `skills get orchestration` and `--full` (7 references).
- live headless runtime (`orca-dev serve`, isolated profile): canonical loop, stop, release, archive read, retry rejection, stale-handle check, SIGKILL-and-replay all verified with receipts
- Live cross-host smoke on the shipped adhoc build of `0d465e7931` (this Mac and a paired Windows host on the build, a paired Mac left on 1.4.195, an SSH host): local, paired-new, paired-old and SSH loops all settle; running workers read `live` on every host and `exited` after release; the old peer reads `capability_unsupported` and refuses release honestly. Injected 10 s relay stall with a send in flight: delivered exactly once after recovery, zero duplicates. Every liveness field across 104 receipts is only `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited`.
- Final live cross-host smoke on the shipped adhoc build of `b082443e1f` (same hosts): every loop settles; 942 of 948 legacy completed rows read settled with `requiresAction: false` before the question-thread fix and all of them after; `worker-list` scope reads `bound` / `flag` / `all` correctly; 122 JSON receipts carry only `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited`. Unscripted prompt-style run: clean.
- Confirmation smoke on the shipped adhoc build of `2da076d4e9` (this Mac and the paired Windows host, both updated): a freshly started Windows worker reads `live` on the first fleet poll and on all 20 that follow, with no `host_indeterminate` at any point, and `exited` after release; all 948 legacy completed rows read `requiresAction: false` with `nextAction: none` after schema v38; every verdict across 60 receipts is `live` / `unverifiable` / `exited`.
- Not physically exercised: WSL hosts, the renderer notification bell (headless has no renderer), same-session fence via a real pane close (renderer-only state), restart mid-delivery on a real app (covered by e2e only).

## Notes

- Remote-wire additions are optional fields or `method_not_found`-negotiated methods; one new Electron-only IPC channel (`agentStatus:legacyWorkerTerminalResumeFence`) never crosses the wire.
- SSH contact loss remains `unverifiable`; the execution host stays authoritative.
- Intentional wire projection change: an SSH host scope with an empty `targetId` now projects host id `ssh` instead of an empty string (remote-wire-compatibility rule 3, old clients decode the same field). A fleet pane key without a terminal handle is now `unidentifiable` rather than matched by pane key alone.
- Found live but pre-existing on main, filed separately: a relay daemon-start collision during transport loss rewrites the endpoint credential and wedges the surviving relay (host needs a manual kill); `terminal create` on a reconnecting SSH host reports an opaque `No PTY provider for connection`; `terminal list` reports `orphaned:false` and `terminal close` reports `ptyKilled:true` for a pane whose relay is gone (orchestration's own projection reads `unverifiable` correctly at the same moment).
- Downgrade after this PR is not a supported path: main opens a v37 database and early-returns (its inserts still work against the v36/v37 defaulted columns), but its one-outstanding-Delivery-per-Run index is a no-op against the branch's mailbox-scoped index of the same name.
- Known follow-ups (not blockers): `worker-list` materializes every dispatch row per call; a positive "agent absent" signal distinct from PTY liveness is a product decision left open (a headless fake agent never reaches `live`, so its `nextAction` stays `inspect`); a context-only self-dispatch still lists as `role: worker` in `worker-list`; `dispatch` task-not-found / task-not-ready / inject-rejected still surface as `runtime_error`; task and inbox receipts still expose raw row columns. Deferred skill product decisions live on #18724.

NeilandOrca 0fe04e2c91 perf(sqlite): cache prepared statements in SyncDatabase (#13769)
prepare() recompiled every statement, so orchestration reads re-parsed the same SQL
on the main thread. Adds a bounded LRU keyed by SQL, cleared on close() and before
schema-changing exec().

Wildcard selects are excluded: node:sqlite builds the first post-schema-change row
from stale column names, so a reused SELECT * can silently drop a freshly added
column. PRAGMAs stay uncached.
