Neil a30d4f4f28 feat(devex): component fixtures with headless screenshots for fast UI checks (#33406)
* feat(devex): component fixtures with headless screenshots for fast UI checks

Colocated *.fixture.tsx files export named fixtures (render + optional store
seed, setup, interact, width). A dev-only Vite entry (vite.fixtures.config.ts,
extending vite.web.config.ts) renders one fixture in isolation with the real
I18nProvider, TooltipProvider, theme class, default-seeded store, and the web
client's preload bridge (installWebPreloadApi) as window.api.

`pnpm fixtures:shot <id|glob> [--theme dark|light|both]` starts or reuses a
detached server (Vite + one headless Chromium) and writes PNGs to
.cache/fixtures/. A warm page re-renders in place (~100ms/shot) and reloads
only after source changes. A stdio MCP server (registered in .mcp.json)
exposes list_fixtures and screenshot_fixture.

Fixtures load only through import.meta.glob in the fixture entry, which is
not a production build input; oxlint rejects static imports of *.fixture.

* Keep fixture config and agent config inside reviewed root entries

* Baseline the fixture page's default-settings seed in the focus-read ratchet

* docs(agents): shorten fixtures pointer

* Allowlist the dev-only fixture explorer's labels in localization coverage

* feat(devex): add pnpm check:changed as the single pre-handoff gate

Runs format, oxlint, the changed-code gate, affected typecheck projects,
affected unit tests, and the ratchets/verifiers whose inputs changed, in
parallel against the origin/main merge base plus local edits. Printing is
limited to failures, and a pass is cached by a hash of the diff, untracked
files, lockfile, and config so an unchanged rerun exits immediately.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 4559c250b3 fix(windows): restrict secure files in-process instead of spawning icacls (#28135)
* fix(windows): restrict secure files in-process instead of spawning icacls

Every secure write on Windows spawned icacls.exe five times on the calling
thread (the Electron main thread for most stores): verify, /reset,
/inheritance:r /grant:r, verify, verify. Process creation under endpoint
security costs ~0.6 s each, so each write froze the UI for seconds (#26027).
The /reset + /inheritance:r pair is also what behavioural EDR scores as
ransomware tradecraft (#25583).

Add native/windows-security (@orca/windows-security): a small N-API addon
over advapi32 that reads and writes DACLs in-process. It exposes the token
user SID, a DACL read as SDDL, a DACL write (sync and on the thread pool),
a create-with-DACL file write, and an additive grant. Policy and
verification stay in TypeScript.

- writeSecureFile creates each temp file already carrying the protected
  user/SYSTEM/Administrators DACL (CreateFileW + SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES), reads
  it back once, and renames it. No ACL is modified on the write path and no
  process starts. Before: 5-7 spawns, 94-138 ms per write. After: 0 spawns,
  ~0.5 ms.
- A secure directory is verified once per process. It is rewritten only
  when verification fails, on the thread pool, because the write walks
  every descendant (~2 s on a 29k-entry userData).
- The verifier follows OpenSSH's rule: only the user, SYSTEM and
  Administrators may be granted anything, and the path must be protected
  (or, for a file, inherit from a secure parent). DACLs written by the
  icacls-era hardening pass unchanged, so there is no migration.
- If the addon cannot load, the write still happens and reports
  unrestricted, logged once. There is no icacls or PowerShell fallback.
- grantDirAcl, the startup userData grant, and the install-dir probe and
  package repair use the same addon, so whoami.exe and icacls.exe are no
  longer spawned anywhere at runtime.
- orcad's Windows slots ship the addon beside their bundles (built per
  arch, PE-machine checked). Its data-root privacy check fails closed, so
  without the addon a Windows orcad would not start.

Fixes #26027
Fixes #25583

* refactor(secure-file): harden existing Windows files through the sync lane

The read path called restrictWindowsPathSync directly and recorded success
itself; the existing sync lane already does both. One call site fewer.

* refactor(windows-security): one load, one rule, no fallthrough (review #28135)

- The descriptor parser is anchored, so a conditional ACE (its body holds
  parentheses) or anything else it cannot read fails closed instead of
  verifying the ACEs before it.
- findSecureDaclViolation is one flat rule: protected, allow rules only for
  the user, SYSTEM and Administrators (OpenSSH's ACE rule), and full
  control for the user. The inherits-from-a-secure-parent exception is gone:
  it accepted exactly what loosening the parent reaches.
- The addon and the user SID load once, behind one wrapper that adds the
  extended-length prefix to every path and runs async DACL writes to one
  path in order, so a startup grant cannot land after a re-lock and restore
  the broader DACL.
- With the addon loaded, a failed born-restricted create throws with the
  matching Node error code instead of falling back to a plain write.
- A grant leaves a NULL DACL untouched instead of turning 'everyone' into
  'only this SID'. WriteFile runs once and fails on a short write.
- The artifact create-intent store writes through writeSecureFile and drops
  its own temp writer, directory LRU and synchronous directory re-lock.
- Test seams the global fake makes redundant are gone.

* fix(packaging): fail a Windows build whose workspace addon binary is missing or foreign-arch

The @orca/windows-* workspace links exist on every host, so their presence
proved nothing: a missing or wrong-architecture .node only surfaced at
runtime, as unrestricted secure files or an orcad that refuses to start.
beforePack now reads each addon's PE machine against the target arch.

* refactor(windows-security): prune what the native ACL left dead (review #28135)

- Sync-spawn ratchet: hardenSecurePath and the sync-flag exemption it alone
  used are gone, and the advice and baseline header no longer say secure
  writers run icacls.
- The install-dir probe reads ACEs through parseSddlDacl, so an ACE it
  cannot parse fails the whole reading closed instead of being skipped; AC
  is a resolved alias there now.
- The packaging check reads the addon binary through node_modules, the copy
  that ships.
- No winCode-to-errno table: nothing reads .code off a failed secure write.
- The load memo is not mutated; secure-path keeps its own log-once flag.
- grantInstallDirPackageAcl is a plain function, and secure-file restricts
  a Windows directory and a POSIX path directly instead of through one
  two-platform helper.

* fix(windows-security): resolve LA in real-ACL tests; tear a file whose close fails

- The GitHub Windows runner is the built-in Administrator (RID 500), whose
  SID reads back as LA. Production already resolves it through
  localDomainSidOf; the win32 test helpers parsed without it. One shared
  readDaclOf resolves aliases for every real-ACL suite, and the verifier's
  unit test covers an LA-aliased directory and LA as a stranger.
- createFileWithDacl treats a failed CloseHandle like a failed write (lost
  data on a network volume) and deletes the torn file.
- Drop a duplicate test reset and a typo.

* fix(windows-security): load only from inside the app; read DACLs as structure (review #28135)

- Loader: orcad's staged binary first, then the workspace package only if
  its real path is inside the app (process.resourcesPath, or this
  checkout). A bare specifier otherwise walks every parent up to
  C:\node_modules, which any local user may create, and orcad holds
  credentials.
- The addon reads a DACL as { protected, aces: [{ type, flags, mask, sid }] }
  via GetAce, with a SID only for plain allow/deny ACEs and null for a NULL
  DACL. findSecureDaclViolation and the install-dir probe check that
  structure, so conditional, callback and object ACEs fail closed. The SDDL
  parser, its alias table, LA/localDomainSid resolution and getDaclSddl are
  gone; SDDL is only the write format.
- Install-dir tree pass: files flagless as before, but a directory only when
  its own DACL is protected (inheritably). Re-granting inheriting
  directories re-propagated each subtree (3.2 s for 1,093 directories). The
  root is no longer granted, or counted, twice. The two passes are plain
  functions behind a { root, tree } seam.
- One namespacing (path.win32.toNamespacedPath) at the addon boundary, also
  the per-path ordering key; the comment states the real sync-grant
  invariant.
- restrictWindowsDirectory(dir): Promise<boolean> replaces the callback
  lane; the reporter is guarded once, so the 'settle' stage is gone.
- Sync-spawn ratchet: the secure writers no longer spawn or block, so they
  leave the gate (109 -> 61 uses).
- Errors name the Win32 call and code only; a failed
  GetSecurityDescriptorControl fails the write instead of defaulting to
  unprotected.

* test(secure-file): assert the durable POSIX write's outcome, not the old chmod order

writeSecureFile now chmods the temp file to 0o600 before fsyncing it, so
the fsync also covers the mode change and the file is owner-writable when
opened. Assert what matters under umask 0o200: the write succeeds, the
temp file is fsynced read-only, and the published file is exactly 0o600.

* fix(windows-security): namespace paths with the host's toNamespacedPath

path.win32.toNamespacedPath rewrote POSIX temp paths (/tmp/x -> \tmp\x) in the
Linux runs of the Windows-logic unit tests, so the fake addon wrote to the wrong
place. The addon only runs on Windows, where the host function is the win32 one;
elsewhere it is the identity. The long-path assertion runs on Windows only.

* test(windows-security): assert the install-dir long-path prefix on Windows only

The prefix comes from the host's toNamespacedPath, which is the identity off
Windows; the Linux run of this suite expected the win32 escape.

* fix(windows-user-data-acl): grant the root even when its children cannot be listed (review #28135)

A readdir failure on userData aborted the whole grant, so the root grant
that could repair a DACL refusing the listing was never attempted. The
listing failure is now recorded, the root is still granted, and the
marker stays withheld so the next launch retries.

* test(windows-security): wait for relock propagation, accept Entra ID SIDs (review #28135)

- The large-relock test waited only for the parent to turn protected,
  which happens before propagation reaches the children, then read a child.
  It now waits on the parent and both ends of the child range.
- The token-user test rejected S-1-12-1 (Entra ID) accounts, failing the
  suite on Entra-joined dev machines.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 7909732283 perf(claude): run the Windows Claude hook as a signed native claude-hook.exe (#27719)
* perf(claude): run the Windows Claude hook as a native orca-hook.exe

Each Claude hook event on Windows started cmd.exe (plus the user's cmd
AutoRun) and then curl.exe on top of the agent's own shell. A small signed
Rust binary now does the same synchronous POST in one process, under Git
Bash, PowerShell and direct CreateProcess alike.

- native/windows-agent-hook: std-only crate, same contract as the .cmd hook
  (prints {}, env guards before stdin, endpoint re-read, 0.5s/1.5s caps,
  waits for the listener reply, always exit 0). Its installed file name
  selects the agent profile, so the registration stays a bare path.
- Packaged as resources/bin/orca-hook.exe (SignPath signs it with the other
  inner PEs); afterPack fails on a missing or wrong-machine binary.
- Claude install copies it verbatim to ~/.orca/agent-hooks/claude-hook.exe
  (temp + rename, running copy moved aside) and registers it; it falls back
  to the .cmd hook when the bundle is missing, unsigned or cannot be copied.
  Only Claude opts in, via windowsNativeHookExecutable.
- The managed-command matcher sweeps .exe entries alongside .cmd/.ps1/.sh.
- The CLI launcher and hook builds share windows-rust-executable-build.mjs,
  which now also checks the PE machine.

Refs #20913

* fix(build): publish native Windows binaries atomically so parallel builds cannot collide

The Windows CI lane runs every orca-hook.exe suite in one vitest
invocation, each building through build-windows-agent-hook.mjs. The build
copied straight onto native/windows-agent-hook/.build/orca-hook.exe, and
CopyFile opens its destination unshared, so a second build (or a scanner
still holding the fresh image) failed with EBUSY.

- windows-rust-executable-build.mjs skips the publish when the output
  already has the built bytes, otherwise stages a per-process temp file and
  renames it over the output, retrying briefly while another handle holds it.
- The test fixture hands each suite a private copy of the build output, so
  no suite reads or starts the shared file while another build replaces it.

Refs #20913

* refactor(claude): simplify the native Windows hook to one Claude binary

Review follow-up on the native hook (#20913): the same behaviour with less
machinery.

- The binary is built, shipped and installed as claude-hook.exe, so the
  installed name matches its PE OriginalFilename. It is Claude-only, so the
  file-name profile table and the per-agent opt-in flag are gone; the
  registration is gated by the existing Claude-only usesWindowsEntry check.
- Install and refresh reuse writeManagedScript / refreshManagedScriptIfPresent
  (now accepting bytes): temp file, rename, skip when identical. A copy whose
  hook is still running cannot be replaced; install then registers the .cmd
  hook and refresh keeps the old build until a later start, instead of the
  rename-aside and *.retired sweep.
- The install-time Authenticode-presence check is dropped. Release CI now
  requires resources\bin\claude-hook.exe to be signed (release-cut and the
  signing rehearsal), next to resources\bin\orca.exe.
- getStatus counts either Windows form through findManagedEventHookForms in
  hook-settings.ts, replacing managed-event-hook-status.ts.
- Rust: plain Claude constants, one endpoint-file lookup (last assignment
  wins, as under `call`), one request write and a deadline-bounded drain.
  Guard order and form encoding are unchanged.
- Build: PR CI builds the hook once before the Windows tests, so the suites
  only read it; the launcher publish goes back to copyFileSync and the retry
  loop and its test are gone. The PE-machine check lives only in afterPack.
  Cargo.lock joins both crates' build fingerprints, and the launcher's alias
  exports are removed.

Refs #20913

* test(ci): run the managed hook stdin-lifecycle suite in the Windows lane

Its claude-hook.exe case (and the other Windows-only cases) are gated per
test, so the lane-registration guard did not require the file and it ran
only on Linux, where those cases skip. Register it in both Windows lists.

Refs #20913

* feat(agent-hooks): ship the native hook as orca-agent-hook.exe <agent>

The native Windows hook (#20913) becomes one general binary that stays
Claude-only in behaviour.

- Named orca-agent-hook.exe everywhere: build output, PE OriginalFilename
  and InternalName, resources\bin, the afterPack check, the installed copy
  in ~/.orca/agent-hooks, and the release signed-target lists.
- It takes the agent as its first argument and Claude registers
  `<path> claude`. The CLAUDE_JOB_DIR exit and the Grok/Devin drain belong
  to that agent; an unknown or missing agent answers {} without reading
  stdin. The managed-command matcher owns `orca-agent-hook.exe claude` and
  still owns the old claude-hook.exe entry, so installs migrate; install
  deletes a leftover claude-hook.exe when nothing runs it.
- A copy still running from the previous build no longer forces the .cmd
  fallback. Identical bytes are not rewritten; otherwise the temp file is
  renamed over the target, and when Windows refuses because the image is
  mapped, the running copy is renamed to orca-agent-hook.exe.old first.
  Install deletes a stale .old; only when that copy is also still running
  does the install fall back to .cmd. writeManagedScript and
  refreshManagedScriptIfPresent take the aside path, sharing one helper.

Refs #20913

* fix(agent-hooks): roll back a failed aside rename and keep an installed hook exe

Design-review follow-up on the native hook (#20913).

- If the running copy was moved to orca-agent-hook.exe.old but the new
  file then could not take its name, the copy is renamed back before the
  error is rethrown, so settings.json never points at a missing exe. The
  rename helper now owns the `.old` name, next to the comment that
  explains it; a mocked-fs unit test covers both the sync and async paths.
- A failed write, or a build with no bundled exe, keeps registering a copy
  that is already installed (every build knows `claude`), so a dev checkout
  and an installed build no longer flip settings.json between forms.
- The claude-hook.exe migration is gone: no release ever shipped that
  name, so the legacy sweep, the `.exe` matcher needle and their test are
  removed.

Refs #20913

* fix(agent-hooks): derive the native hook's agent with win32 path rules

getWindowsNativeHookAgent took the host's basename of the managed script
path, so on a POSIX host (Linux CI) a Windows path was not split and the
registered command became `orca-agent-hook.exe C:\...\claude`. It now takes
the path and applies path.win32.basename itself. The install destination
and the `.old` aside stay on host paths: they name files the host opens.

Neilandczzczz 4c2cb3cf12 fix(jcode): quote the managed hook path, drop tools from patch prompts
Three fixes, all on paths this PR could not exercise locally.

The managed hook command was stored as a bare path. jcode tokenizes that
string shell-style before exec'ing it directly (parse_hook_command,
crates/jcode-terminal-launch/src/lib.rs): unquoted whitespace splits, and
every unquoted backslash is consumed as an escape. So on Windows
`C:\Users\me\.orca\agent-hooks\jcode-hook.cmd` reached exec as
`C:Usersme.orcaagent-hooksjcode-hook.cmd` and no hook fired at all, and a
POSIX home with a space split into two arguments. Store the path
single-quoted (verbatim, backslashes included), falling back to double
quotes for a path containing a single quote. Existing bare entries are
already repointed by the stale-key path, and getStatus accepts both forms
so the repair is not reported as a user-owned hook. The quoting helper was
previously dead code that only tests called; the three production sites
now use it. isJcodeManagedCommand also normalizes separators, since a
`/`-only needle never matched a Windows entry.

Commit-message generation feeds a staged patch to `jcode run` as the
prompt — attacker-influenced text — while jcode's default profile exposes
shell, read, write, and MCP. Pass `--tool-profile none`, which resolves to
an empty allowed-tool set in jcode's config (base_allowed_tools), matching
the read-only posture claude (plan) and codex (read-only) already take.

docs/reference/jcode-hook-events.md was never actually in this PR: the
repo ignores docs/** and tracks reference docs by allow-list only, so the
captured-payload evidence four source comments point at was silently
dropped. Allow-list it.

Jinwoo Hong daf63e659c fix(runtime): read Antigravity, Cline and Prime Agent readiness from the live screen (#24222)
* fix(runtime): decide Antigravity readiness from the live screen

agy paints its composer with cursor addressing, so the line-folded wait
text misses the 1.2.14 accept-edits and plan composers and an ended turn,
while the grid keeps the bare `>` caret painted mid-turn and behind the
/model picker. Read the screen's bottom rows instead: rule, caret, rule,
`? for shortcuts`. A clocked pane is held to quiescence (tier 1b) because
the submit repaint reads ready for a moment; a clockless restored pane
settles from the screen alone. When a trustworthy screen exists it
decides, so the name-only title lane no longer settles an open picker.

Retires the visible-read probe's Antigravity branch: the probe now runs
the shared screen rule for any screen-ruled agent without an output
clock, and keeps its generic empty-pane read for everyone else.

Adds twelve agy 1.2.14 recordings and a replay suite shared by
screen-ruled agents. STA-8741.

* fix(runtime): decide Cline readiness from the live screen

Cline paints its composer box with cursor addressing on the alternate
screen, so no text rule saw it and worker-start timed out at
agent_readiness (#23268). Read the box off the grid: rule, an empty
composer with one of the captured placeholders, rule, the Plan/Act row
and the auto-approve row, with no braille spinner above it.

A streaming reply repaints the same box once its spinner has scrolled
away, so Cline is tier 1b only: a clocked pane waits for quiet and a
clockless one never settles from the screen. The screen now decides for
a Cline pane, which shuts the quiet-process lane that would have settled
its unworded tool-approval prompt and the Cline Desktop promo.

readLiveTerminalScreenLines now returns raw rows: the read projection
blanks a composer it takes for a draft, and it takes Cline's
placeholder for one, so a typed draft and an empty composer looked the
same.

Adds nine cline 3.0.66 recordings (macOS) and the 3.0.65 Windows capture
from #23269. STA-8741.

* fix(runtime): decide Prime Agent readiness from the live screen

Prime redraws its composer on the alternate screen, so the text tail
never showed a settled prompt and tui-idle timed out (#22153). Read the
grid instead: a bare `>` directly over the `<- manage` footer, with no
braille status row (`Writing - 6s`) above it. The footer and caret alone
stay painted for a whole turn.

Replayed chunk by chunk, Prime erases that status row before redrawing
it, and on first launch paints the idle composer just before the
trace-sharing question covers it. Both keep repainting, so a clocked
pane is held to quiescence (tier 1b); a clockless restored pane settles
from the screen alone.

Adds nine prime-agent 0.9.8 recordings (isolated HOME, OpenRouter) and
the two 0.9.5 captures from #22154. STA-8741.

* refactor(runtime): drop Cline-only readiness branches

Cline now follows the same pattern as Antigravity and Prime: a screen
rule plus table entries.

- Drop MID_TURN_COMPOSER_AGENTS. onPtyData stamps lastOutputAt on every
  chunk, so a re-attached streaming pane has an output clock from its
  first byte; the exception only guarded a pane that printed nothing
  since attach. A clockless Cline pane now settles from its screen like
  the other two.
- Drop the 'ready-body' rest-signal entries for all three agents. The
  rest signal is read only by quietForegroundLane, and a readable screen
  already shuts that lane and the title lane (isReadinessDecidedByScreen),
  so the entries only removed the quiet-process fallback for a pane with
  no trustworthy grid. The census now checks that screen-shut instead.
- Drop the Cline rule's auto-approve row check; no recorded verdict
  depends on it.

Kept: raw rows from readLiveTerminalScreenLines. Every frame of every
codex-* and qoder-* capture at 120x40, 80x24 and 100x32 gives the same
isKnownReadyPromptBody (with and without a clock) and
isQuietReadyScreenBody verdict through both readers.

Serializer known-failures for the new captures are pre-existing
serializer behaviour, not this branch: row-0 cells restore with a
true-colour background where the source has the default (the DSH
class), and Prime's cursor restores at column 119 instead of the pending
wrap at 120 (the qoder class). STA-8741.

* fix(runtime): trust a screen rule only on the PTY's own grid

Review findings on the screen-ruled readiness (STA-8741):

- A grid out of step with the PTY garbles cursor-addressed chrome, and a
  model resize does not make the TUI repaint. readLiveTerminalScreenLines
  now returns null unless the emulator's grid matches the PTY's reported
  size and was never reflowed without a repaint (a re-attach that learned
  the real size late), so the pre-existing lanes decide there instead of
  timing out.
- The visible-read probe reads the draft-blanking projection, which
  turns Cline's `❯ Ask anything...` into a bare `❯`. It now restores the
  blanked composer row before the rule reads it; `terminal read --screen`
  output is unchanged.
- The quiet lane no longer ORs the text rules over a trustworthy screen
  that refused; without one, tier 1 already ran them. No recorded
  verdict changes.

Tests: ready recordings on a mismatched and on a reflowed grid settle
through the old lanes; the restored-pane probe runs every ready
recording through the real projection; the rest-signal census checks
the lane verdict with and without a screen.

* test(runtime): trim STA-8741 recordings to the screens they prove

* refactor(runtime): one screen verdict for every screen-ruled lane

readScreenRuledReady, readScreenRuledQuietReady and isReadinessDecidedByScreen
each re-derived the same thing: the agent's rule applied to a trustworthy live
screen. They collapse into readScreenRuledVerdict (true / false / null), which
tier 1, tier 1b and the lane gate read.

This also makes a refusal final in tier 1: a clockless pane whose trustworthy
screen refused fell through to the text rules, so retained ready text could
settle over an open picker (Greptile review). The quiet tier already refused
there; now both do.

The tier-1b agent set derives the screen-ruled agents from the rule table
instead of listing them again, and the lane test that repeated the census
case is dropped.

* refactor(runtime): let the visible-read probe read its own output clock

The probe's clock was captured at start and threaded through the wait
dependencies as a one-off parameter. The probe now reads it from the live
record when its screen read returns, which is also the fresher answer.

* fix(runtime): trust a reflowed grid again once a PTY resize repaints it

The reattach-reflow flag was never cleared, so a pane stayed on the old lanes
for the rest of its life even after a real resize made the TUI repaint
(Greptile review). The record now keeps the reflowed grid, and a PTY resize
off that grid clears it; an echo of the same size sends no SIGWINCH and keeps
it.

Tests: the reflow case in every screen-ruled suite now includes a same-size
echo, and an Antigravity recording only the screen reads ready settles after a
resize and repaint.

* refactor(runtime): keep screen-rule trust and raw rows to screen-ruled agents

Two shared changes reached agents this PR does not target: the live
screen reader returned raw rows, and it refused a grid that did not
match the PTY. Both now live in readScreenRuledLines, which only the
screen-ruled agents read (screenReader picks it from the rule table);
readLiveTerminalScreenLines is main's again. The probe keeps main's
Antigravity-banner trigger, so a Codex or unknown pane is probed exactly
as before.

Proof: the non-screen-ruled suites give identical pass sets on this
branch and its base (1,781 tests), and replaying every other recording
frame by frame through the readiness and blocked verdicts, for its
agent and for an unknown pane, gives identical results (93 pairs). A new
test keeps a Codex pane reading its screen when the PTY reports another
grid; it fails if the trust check moves back into the shared reader.

Neil d2dbe2c385 fix(windows): replace the managed CLI launcher with a native one (#24094)
* docs(security): add the antivirus clearance path for future releases

Every AV false positive here has been handled one vendor and one shipped
version at a time. Document the programs that clear future releases instead --
signer and product enrollment rather than per-build sample submission -- and add
a script that reports an RC's current detection state by hash, so a verdict is
found before users meet it in an issue report.

Hash lookup only by default; --upload transmits the artifact and stays manual.

* fix(windows): replace the managed CLI launcher with a native one

resources\bin\orca.exe was a csc-compiled MSIL assembly: a small, freshly
compiled .NET image in a user-writable directory that mutates environment
variables and proxies a child process. That is the shape .NET dropper
heuristics are trained on, and every verdict against it named the family --
MSILHeracles from two vendors, Wacatac!ml from a third. Signing the file does
not change its shape, so signing never cleared it.

Rebuild it in Rust. Same resolution, same environment contract, same argv
passthrough that keeps newline-bearing orchestration bodies intact (#8374), and
the child still inherits our environment block rather than an explicit map, so
a block carrying both PATH and Path survives (#12046). The PE now carries
publisher, version, icon and an asInvoker manifest from build.rs.

Refs #23383

* ci(windows): install the Rust toolchain before building the CLI launcher

The hosted runners happen to ship cargo, but a real Windows dev box does not --
verified on our own Windows QA host, where cargo and rustc were both absent.
Relying on the image means a future image change fails deep inside
electron-builder's native hook instead of at an obvious step.

Neil 7ea01279cd feat(search): bundle ripgrep for local, WSL, and SSH search (#22396)
* feat(search): bundle ripgrep for local, WSL, and SSH search

Ship @vscode/ripgrep-universal's prebuilt rg for all six relay platforms in
every desktop artifact. Local and WSL searches spawn the bundled binary and
drop the git ls-files / git grep fallbacks; SSH deploys upload the remote's
binary once per ripgrep version and the relay prefers it over PATH rg.

* fix(search): address bundled ripgrep review findings

- Key the SSH ripgrep cache on the binary's content hash; a package bump is the only update step
- glibc verifier: read arch tokens below the slice root and accept static ELFs (arm64 release blocker)
- Ship ripgrep/PCRE2/musl license notices; bundle rg with orcad
- Packaged builds never spawn a bare rg; report fd pressure as transient
- SSH: install rg before sweep/GC, size-validate installs, back off instead of disabling on launch failure
- Scope Dependabot to @vscode/ripgrep-universal; revert unrelated lockfile churn

* chore(search): drop bundled-ripgrep reference doc; assert full packaging layout parity

* refactor(search): one entry point for spawning the bundled ripgrep

Local Quick Open, Quick Open path search, the Explorer name filter, and
runtime text search each repeated the same three steps: resolve the bundled
command, spread in the WSL distro, spread in the WSL shell expression. Fold
that into spawnBundledRipgrep so one place owns the rule that a bare 'rg'
must never reach spawn, and simplify the resolver's command/packaged checks.

Restore the AGENTS.md ripgrep rule dropped alongside its reference doc in
63f4dac, and note why the relay's availability probe may spawn a bare 'rg'.

No behaviour change; verified by the existing suites plus a new test that
pins the local, WSL-routed, and distro-routed-but-Windows-output cases.

* refactor(search): drop the local install-ripgrep path; enforce the rg rule

Bundling rg removed the local git/readdir fallback, so nothing can produce
the "install ripgrep on the host running the Quick Open scan" guidance any
more -- only a remote host an upload never reached still reaches the capped
listing. Drop the host parameter, the renderer's local branch and its
translation key, and the relay wrapper that existed only to pass 'remote'.

Add a ratchet test for bare 'rg' spawns, since the AGENTS.md rule alone had
nothing enforcing it. Its one allowlist entry is the relay's PATH probe,
which asks about PATH by definition. Verified the guard catches a planted
offender rather than passing vacuously.

Also stop chaining the remote cleanup sweep behind the ripgrep upload: on a
cold host that is a multi-MB transfer, and stale upload stages and
superseded version dirs were left on the remote for its whole duration. The
two touch different trees, so they now run concurrently.

* test(ssh): pin that the cleanup sweep does not wait on the ripgrep upload

* fix(search): derive rg spawn types instead of importing node:child_process

A type-only import still counts against the child_process ratchet, whose pin
and allowlist only ever shrink. Derive both types from wslAwareSpawn instead.

* fix(search): surface an unreachable WSL workspace instead of an empty result

Inside `bash -c`, a failed `cd` exits 1 -- the same code ripgrep uses for "no
matches" -- so a WSL workspace whose directory had gone away reported an empty
listing as a successful scan. main did not have this hole: checkRgAvailable ran
the same `cd` wrapper first and settled on `code === 0`, diverting to the git
fallback that this PR deletes. The WSL wrapper now takes an optional
cwdFailureExitCode; rg passes 97, and all four close handlers reject with a
clear error before the unavailable check can blame the install.

Also from review:
- Bound the fire-and-forget ripgrep upload with deploySignal. The controller
  aborts only on the deploy timeout, never on success, so this cancels a
  still-running upload when the deploy gives up.
- Run the stale-stage sweep before the installed check rather than inside its
  else branch. Once rg was installed every later deploy took the PRESENT path,
  so a stage orphaned by a dropped connection was never collected again.
- Note in orcad-remote-deploy.ts why wiring it up needs ripgrep work first:
  build-orcad.mjs copies only the build host's rg, and orcad reports
  isPackaged() === true, so a remote of another platform would find nothing.

ssh-relay-deploy.test.ts sat at the max-lines cap, so any edit to it failed the
gate. Split the four Windows named-pipe deploys into their own file (926 -> 737
+ 333); both are now well clear of it.

* fix(search): name the unreachable root in every handler, not three of four

Round-two review caught that the missing-cwd branch in scanRipgrepPaths sat
AFTER isRipgrepUnavailableExit, which classifies any code above 2 as a broken
install -- so for exit 97 it was dead code and Quick Open still told the user to
reinstall Orca. Reordered; all four handlers now check it first.

Also from review:
- A vanished workspace makes spawn fail with ENOENT, which read as a damaged
  install on every local path. Confirm the cwd with isRipgrepSpawnCwdUsable --
  the guard the relay already applies -- before blaming the binary. The async
  continuation re-checks `resolved`, because finish() drops its argument once
  settled and the rejected promise would otherwise go unhandled.
- bundledRipgrepCommand returned a bare 'rg' for an arch outside the bundled
  set, bypassing the guard that exists so Windows cannot resolve a bare name
  against the repo cwd. A packaged app now always names an absolute path.

Drop ci-shards/unit-assignment.json, a 9,425-line CI artifact swept in from
reproducing a shard locally, and gitignore the directory that produced it.

The "rg genuinely cannot start" test pointed at a synthetic /repo, which the
new guard correctly reports as unreachable; it now resolves to a real root so
it still tests what its name says.

* fix(search): let the error handler own the spawn-failure verdict

A failed spawn emits 'error' and THEN 'close' with a negative code. The cwd
check added in the error handler did not settle, so the close handler settled
first -- synchronously, with the reinstall message -- and won the race every
time. The branch was not merely flaky, it was unreachable in all four handlers:
it is guarded by pid === undefined, which is exactly the case that always
produces a following close(code < 0). Verified against a real spawn: 3/3 runs
give error(ENOENT) -> close(-2). The error handler now detaches 'close' before
the probe, so it owns the outcome.

The probe also had no rejection handler, so a probe that rejected left the
search unsettled forever -- a hang, not just a wrong message. It now falls back
to the prior verdict rather than inventing one.

Tests: filesystem-search-rg-timeout and orca-runtime-files-search already cover
error-first and close-first, but against synthetic roots that the new guard
correctly calls unreachable; they now resolve to a real root, keeping each
test's stated intent. Added a Quick Open case for the vanished-workspace path
and confirmed it fails with the old ordering.

* test(search): cover exit code 97 in all four ripgrep close handlers

Round-four review found the missing-cwd branch had zero handler coverage: no
test anywhere emitted close(97), only -2/0/1/2/127. Ordering was correct, but
guarded by source-line order alone -- and that exact ordering was wrong in
three of four handlers two commits ago. Each suite now drives close(97) through
its real handler and expects the unreachable-root message.

Verified the tests earn their place: neutering the missing-cwd check fails
exactly four tests, one per handler.

Also drop a Reflect.get the anti-slop gate rejects, in favour of `in` narrowing.

* docs(search): stop claiming the close handler always wins the race

The previous commit asserted close "would beat this threadpool round-trip every
time", from an n=3 sample that measured event ordering -- which was never in
dispute -- rather than probe-vs-close. Two later measurements disagree with each
other: 50/50 close-first here, 30/50 probe-first in review. Either way it is a
race on a sub-millisecond margin, and the detach is what makes the verdict
deterministic.

Why this wording matters: "close wins every time" is an argument for deleting
the detach as a guard against an impossible race. No test would catch that --
the suites emit error and close in the same synchronous tick.

* chore(search): ship the jemalloc and libunwind notices the Linux rg needs

The statically linked Linux builds carry jemalloc (BSD-2-Clause) and LLVM
libunwind (Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception) in addition to PCRE2 and musl, and
both require their notice on binary redistribution. Confirmed with `strings`:
their symbols are present in linux-x64 and linux-arm64 and absent from the
darwin and win32 builds. Texts taken from the upstream canonical sources.

extraResources already copies the whole licenses directory, so these ship
without a packaging change.

* fix(relay): stop spawning a bare rg, name unreachable roots, collect old builds

Three gaps the reviews surfaced on the remote side, all pre-existing on main.

Bare `rg` on Windows remotes. Both relay spawn sites pass the user's repo as
cwd, and CreateProcessW searches the cwd before PATH -- the same hijack the
desktop side already fixes. The relay now walks PATH itself and spawns an
absolute rg.exe, skipping relative PATH entries because those resolve against
the cwd. No rg on PATH yields null, which callers treat as "ripgrep
unavailable" rather than handing spawn a bare name. POSIX keeps the bare name:
execvp never consults the cwd, so there is nothing to resolve and nothing to
gain. With the last probe converted, the bare-spawn ratchet allowlist is empty.

Empty results for an unreachable root. settleLaunchFailure resolved an empty,
successful-looking scan when the root was gone but PATH rg existed, and the
git/readdir chain never engaged because it only triggers on
RipgrepUnavailableError. Both relay paths now reject naming the root, matching
local workspaces. Missing-rg keeps precedence over a missing root, because only
that verdict engages the fallback chain -- two tests pinned that deliberately
and it would have been wrong to flip it.

Unbounded ~/.orca-remote/ripgrep/. Nothing collected this tree; the relay's
version GC only matches `relay-*`, so every rg bump left another ~5 MB per host
forever. The probe command now also drops sibling builds older than two weeks,
sparing the current one and live upload stages, on POSIX and PowerShell alike.
Two weeks because a client pinned to an older build may still be using it; the
cost of collecting one early is that client re-uploading once.

* fix(relay): probe the rg that failed, and close the drive-relative PATH hole

Five review findings against the previous commit, all reproduced first.

The launch-failure classifier probed PATH rg, but the spawn that failed was the
bundled binary. On the normal remote setup -- no rg on PATH, which is why Orca
uploads one -- the probe failed and a moved workspace was reported as a missing
ripgrep, telling the user to install what Orca already ships. So the fix was
inert on exactly the hosts the uploader exists for. It now takes a candidate
list and asks the binary that actually failed first, then PATH.

path.win32.isAbsolute accepts `\tools` and `/tools`: rooted, but carrying no
drive, so they resolve against whatever drive the process is on. The probe
would have validated one against the relay's drive while the spawn, running
with the user's repo as cwd, resolved it against the repo's -- the same
cwd-dependence this lookup removes, narrowed from directory to drive. A real
drive letter or UNC root is now required.

probeRipgrepVersion had lost the timeout's kill in the rewrite, leaking a live
process and a ref'd handle per launch failure -- for a hang, which is the very
case the bundled-rg back-off exists for. It also spawned without windowsHide,
which would flash a console; fixing that made an allowlist entry stale, so the
entry is gone and the pin ratchets down 63 -> 62.

`windowsPathRipgrep ??= …` never memoised a miss, because null is nullish. The
caching was inverted against cost: a hit stops at the first directory, a miss
stats every one, and only the miss was repeated -- per spawn.

The bare-spawn ratchet claimed "nothing in production spawns a bare rg", which
is false on POSIX. It now also matches PATH_RIPGREP_COMMAND at a spawn site,
and the comment states plainly what a textual guard cannot see: the POSIX bare
name reaches spawn as a parameter, and is safe because execvp ignores the cwd.

The drive-rooted predicate is tested directly rather than through the
filesystem -- a temp dir on a POSIX CI host has no drive letter to exercise
win32 semantics with, so the filesystem test could never have caught this.

* test(mobile): repin the session closure past #22452's two shared modules

Merging main brought the closure to 4220 against a pin of 4218. The two extra
modules are `src/shared/agent-turn-outcome.ts` and `src/shared/main-agent-status.ts`
from #22452, which the status projection this route already reaches import.
That change was src/shared-only, so the mobile job never ran on it -- the same
way the structured tool line slipped past, as the ledger above already records.

Repinned here because this PR's file set is what next made the job run, not
because this PR reaches either module. Verified: of the 28 source files this
branch changes, none appear anywhere in the route's 4220-module closure.

* fix(search): preserve remote binaries and complete runtime packaging

* test(relay): pin the probe's env now that it inherits the relay's PATH

8d6759a threaded the relay env into probeRipgrepVersion -- correctly, since the
probe decides whether a launch failure was the binary or the root and so has to
resolve the same rg the failed spawn would have. It left the assertion that
pins the probe's spawn arguments behind, which is what CI caught.

Asserting buildRelayCommandEnv() rather than loosening the match to any object:
under process.env the probe could resolve a different rg, or none, which is the
regression the change exists to prevent.

* feat(ssh): collect remote ripgrep builds by reference, not by age

Nothing collected `~/.orca-remote/ripgrep/`: the version GC matches only
`relay-*`, so every change to the shipped bytes left another ~5 MB on every SSH
host, permanently. The age window this replaces was the wrong instrument --
a directory's mtime is when it was written, not when it was last used, so it
cannot tell a superseded build from the one a live relay was launched against.
Deleting the latter is not graceful degradation: without a PATH ripgrep remote
text search rejects outright, and listing drops to the capped walk this PR
exists to remove.

So the question is reference. Each relay directory now records the build it
runs against in `.ripgrep-ref`, written only once that binary is confirmed
present, and the GC collects a build only when no installation names it.

The discipline is ssh-relay-native-deps-cache-gc.ts': anything the pass cannot
account for blocks the whole pass. A relay directory with no readable marker is
an older Orca's, possibly running right now against a binary it never recorded,
so the pass declines rather than guessing. Those directories are removed by the
version GC in time, which is what makes their builds collectable -- hence
running after it, not beside it. Deletion is the same tombstone, recheck under
the rename, then remove, so a deploy that takes a reference mid-pass gets its
tree restored. Windows has no pass yet, matching the native-deps cache's gate.

One test note: the first version of the "unaccountable blocks the pass" test
passed against a deliberately broken guard, because the tombstone recheck
masked its absence. The test now puts a readable recheck behind an unreadable
first scan, which is the only shape that fails when that guard is removed.

Recording the reference lives inside ensureRemoteBundledRipgrep rather than at
the call site: it is the same concern, and it keeps the deploy's ripgrep
surface to one call for the tests that mock it to protect their exec queues.

* feat(ssh): collect Windows remotes too, and ship the Rust crate notices

Three items previously left documented-but-open.

Windows remote accumulation. The cache GC was POSIX-gated, so the leak did not
go away -- it moved to the platform with the larger binary (rg.exe is 5.43 MB on
win32-x64, against 4.77 MB for linux-arm64). The PowerShell dialect now does the
same reference scan: entries and references carry token prefixes, because
PowerShell writes every uncaptured value to stdout and an untokenised listing
would feed Remove-Item whatever a cmdlet happened to emit.

Verified on a real Windows host rather than a mock: the listing emits its
ENTRY/LIST_OK tokens, a relay directory carrying a marker yields REF <entry>,
and a relay directory without one yields REFS_ERR -- the safety path, on the
real interpreter.

Rust crate notices. The crate set was read out of the shipped binary's symbols
and the licence identifiers taken from crates.io rather than assumed. Where a
crate offers the Unlicense, Orca elects it: a public-domain dedication carries
no notice obligation, and that covers eight of them. The four that do not offer
it get their MIT text reproduced. encoding_rs carries a BSD-3-Clause notice for
its WHATWG-derived encoding data that is joined by AND, not OR, so electing MIT
does not discharge it.

Release-only validation, corrected rather than repeated. Linux AppImage/deb/rpm
already runs in CI's package job on every PR, and Windows signing was already
rehearsed on this branch. macOS notarization is the only item a release must
still exercise, and the exposure is narrow: notarization requires signatures on
Mach-O binaries, and of the six bundled builds only the two darwin ones are
Mach-O -- `file` reports ELF for linux and PE32+ for win32 -- so signIgnore
excludes only files the notary never asks about.

orcad-artifacts.test.ts caught the new notice file missing from the standalone
runtime's shipped list, which is exactly the gap that test exists to catch: a
notice committed to the repo but never actually shipped.

Neil 0afc66ebd3 fix(opencode2): only treat the question tool's form as a pane blocker (#22399)
* fix(opencode2): only treat the question tool's form as a pane blocker

OpenCode 2 has one form primitive and several producers, and Orca's setup
bridge mapped every `form.created` to `question.asked` — the un-evictable
"the pane owner must answer this" blocker. Against opencode v2.0.12 only
`metadata.kind === "question"` is the agent's question tool; `websearch.provider`
is a provider picker and `mcp-elicitation` is an MCP server prompt raised on
sessionID "global", which is not a session and so can never be retired by that
session going idle.

Admit only the question kind, remember the admitted form ids, and drop
`form.replied`/`form.cancelled` for forms that were never admitted so an
ignored form's resolution cannot retire a live blocker.

Evidence (live v2.0.12 capture, real TUI in a PTY against `opencode serve`)
in docs/bug-reproductions/opencode2-form-created-kinds. That capture also
shows the reported Subagents/Shell/Terminals dock and the agent picker emit
no server event at all, so they were never the `form.created` source.

Refs #22371

* refactor(opencode2): drop the unreachable form-resolution guard

Review was right that the admitted-form-id set defended against nothing.
`clearAttentionForResolution` builds the exact key
[factoryID, "AskUserQuestion", form.id, sourceSessionID] and returns null on a
miss, with no session-wide fallback, and form ids are unique — so a resolution
for a form Orca ignored already matches no live blocker. The guard's comment
claimed a collision the key structure rules out, which is worse than no comment.

Removes the set, its FIFO eviction helper, and the claim; the kind check on
form.created is the whole fix. The end-to-end test stays: it pins the behavior
that an MCP form raised and cancelled leaves a live question blocker standing,
which is the property worth holding regardless of how it is achieved.

921882619e fix: retire closed editor models from the app shell (#21178)
* fix: retire closed editor models from the app shell

* test(editor): use checked Monaco attachment calls

* Preserve bounded editor view caches when retiring closed models

* docs(editor): describe batched model retirement

* fix(editor): preserve cleanup work across registry replacement

* fix(editor): build editor model URIs with the file scheme

Monaco keys its model registry by `uri.toString()`, and both
`@monaco-editor/react` (via the `path` prop) and the closed-tab disposal
path built that key with `Uri.parse`. On Windows a raw path such as
`C:\repo\a.ts` parses as scheme `c`, which fails the scheme gate in
`modelService._schemaShouldMaintainUndoRedoElements`, so closed-file undo
history was dropped for every file at any size — not only the large files
the tradeoff note covers.

Add `toEditorModelUri`, the one filesystem-path -> model-key function,
built on `Uri.file` so the result always carries the `file:` scheme and
re-parses to itself. Route model creation, disposal lookup and the
still-open ownership comparison through it so all three agree; a
divergence there would dispose a model an open editor is still editing.

Neil ea01cd0ccd fix(windows): reject a node-pty addon that predates the MSYS breakaway denial (#20047)
* docs(windows): record the measured MSYS job-breakaway mechanism

The per-PTY job already denies JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_BREAKAWAY_OK for Cygwin/MSYS
shells (#19068), but nothing records why, and a conpty.node built before that
commit fails windows-msys-job.win32.test.ts in a way that reads as a source
defect. Measured on a real Windows 11 host: both the plain and the exec-
replacement Git Bash shapes leak, the escape is the MSYS runtime's own
spawn/exec (fork keeps membership), and a single-variable A/B on
usesCygwinRuntime flips the result 0/2 -> 4/4.

Also names the gap the failure hid behind: node-pty-job-ownership.cjs asserts
symbol presence, which cannot distinguish patch revisions.

* fix(windows): reject a node-pty addon that predates the MSYS breakaway denial

The native-runtime gate asserted only that terminateJob, listJobProcessIds and
assignCurrentProcessToJob were exported. All three predate the Cygwin/MSYS
breakaway denial, so an addon built before it passes every gate,
isPtyJobOwnershipAvailable() returns true, and windows-pty-job.win32.test.ts
passes 6/6 -- while every Git Bash child is created outside its pane's job and
survives terminatePtyJob.

Read the resolved .node and require the wide msys-2.0.dll literal that
usesCygwinRuntime holds, the way stagedRelayAddonIsUnpatched() already tells a
patched windows-process-tree addon from a published one. An addon the caller
cannot name is refused rather than skipped: a gate that cannot see its subject
is not a gate.

Verified against real binaries on a Windows 11 host: the shared checkout's
pre-#19068 build errors, a build from current patched source passes, a missing
path errors.

Also closes the cross-host packaging skip. The export half has to load the
addon so it cannot run when the packaging host is not the target, which is how
a Windows release built elsewhere could ship this. The marker is a file read
and needs neither; an unrecognised layout warns rather than fails a release
that was packaging fine.

* fix(windows): check the MSYS breakaway denial on the rebuild path too

The Electron probe carried the marker check, but it lives inside
probeElectronNativeModules, which returns early whenever the Electron package
binary is unusable. Covered by another path is not this path checks -- and the
defect this whole change closes was a gate that looked like it checked.

Reading the binary needs neither a loadable Electron nor an executable target
arch, so assert it after the rebuild, beside the windows-process-tree
assertion that exists for the same reason: this is the addon copied into the
packaged app. Absent warns (a cross-platform rebuild need not leave a win32
addon on this disk); present and unmarked is fatal.

The fixtures now write a real addon file, because the gate reads the binary it
was told about rather than trusting the exports. Verified against the two real
binaries measured on the Windows host: the pre-#19068 build fails this path,
the build from current patched source passes.

* fix(windows): check the marker on every ConPTY path the packaged app can load

The packaged marker check read one hard-coded path, `build/Release/conpty.node`,
and warned when it was absent. `loadNativeModule` tries `build/Release`, then
`build/Debug`, then `prebuilds/win32-<arch>`, swallowing each failure, and
`prunePackagedNodePty` drops the published prebuild only when a same-arch
`build/Release` exists to replace it. So the two packages the check was added for
were the two it could not see:

- cross-host: no host but Windows can build conpty.node, so there is no
  `build/Release` and the prebuild is what ships. The check warned and returned.
- cross-arch: `build/Release` is the packaging host's own arch, patched and
  marked, so the check printed OK -- while the target app cannot load it and
  falls through to the unmarked prebuild underneath.

Measured, not assumed: both published Windows prebuilds in the node-pty tarball
contain neither `msys-2.0.dll` nor `cygwin1.dll` in any encoding. They are the
binary that leaks every MSYS pane child out of its job.

It now sweeps every candidate present for the *target* arch and refuses a package
with no candidate at all, which is a package with no ConPTY backend rather than a
layout to shrug at. It runs for every Windows slice instead of only the branch
the export check skips, so deleting the export check cannot silently take it too.
A stale source build keeps the rebuild advice; the prebuild gets the advice that
actually works, which is to package the slice on a Windows host of that arch.

Also: the marker constant was re-typed in four places and was tied to the C++
literal that produces it by nothing at all, so editing the patch would have left
a gate that fails every correctly rebuilt addon and tells the developer to do the
one thing that cannot help. The fixtures now take the constant from the gate, and
a test asserts the patch still adds `L"msys-2.0.dll"` to conpty.cc.

And the rebuild path treated a missing addon as a warning even on the host that
will run the install, where node-pty would fall through to that same prebuild.
The verdict is now a value, so it is tested without a platform gate.

* fix(windows): resolve the packaged ConPTY the way its loader does

Sweeping every candidate and demanding the marker on all of them was wrong in
the one case it was meant to make safe. `beforeBuild` runs
`rebuild-native-deps.mjs --platform=win32 --arch=<target>`, so a cross-arch slice
normally does get a patched `build/Release` for the target; `prunePackagedNodePty`
keeps the prebuild anyway because its guard is `electronArch === process.arch`
rather than the arch of the binary. That package is correct and its leftover
prebuild is never reached, and the sweep failed it -- telling whoever ran it to
package on a Windows arm64 host, which is both the wrong remedy and one no runner
here can offer.

Presence cannot separate that package from the one whose cross-arch rebuild
quietly emitted the host's architecture, because the only difference is the arch
of `build/Release`. So the gate now resolves the addon the way `loadNativeModule`
does -- first candidate whose PE `IMAGE_FILE_HEADER.Machine` matches the target,
walking root-then-lib for each layout in node-pty's own order -- and checks the
marker on the one that will actually run. A package with no candidate, or none of
the target's architecture, is refused: it has no ConPTY backend either way, and
the second is exactly what a silently host-arch cross-build looks like.

The PE machine reader already existed, privately, in the relay addon builder that
needed the same "a cross-build cannot silently emit host arch" guarantee. It is
now shared rather than copied.

Two seams were unreachable from anything but Windows, so nothing tested them:

- the afterPack hook's win32 block was an inline if/else that only a source-text
  assertion could inspect, and that assertion could not tell the difference
  between the check running and the check being wrapped in `try {} catch {}`. It
  is now `verifyPackagedWindowsNodePty`, and "the marker check runs even where
  the export check cannot" is four spied assertions instead of a string match.
- the rebuild path's verdict read `process` directly, so the branch that fires
  only on the host being rebuilt for was dead on every other host. It now takes
  the host as arguments, and the fs checks, the warning and the failure are all
  exercised from macOS.

Fixtures write a real PE header rather than `MZ fake addon`, since the gate now
reads one. The machine table is pinned to the documented IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE
values, because every fixture builds its header from that table and a table wrong
in both entries would otherwise agree with itself.

* fix(windows): say why the packaged ConPTY fell back, not just that it did

The previous commit resolved the addon by architecture but still had one message
for every way the resolution could land on the published prebuild. Those ways
want opposite remedies, and the one it printed was the remedy the commit before
it had just called wrong:

- no source build in the package at all — the slice has to be built somewhere
  that can build node-pty for the target arch.
- a source build that is there but is the packaging host's architecture, because
  the cross-arch rebuild did not honour `--arch` — re-running that rebuild is the
  fix, and "package on a Windows arm64 host" is neither necessary nor possible.

The second is the common one, since node-pty publishes a prebuild for both
Windows arches and prune keeps the target's on every cross-arch package. So the
old text fired mostly on the case it described least. It now reports which source
builds were skipped and the machine field each carried, and names the rebuild
command.

"Nothing the target can load" had the same problem in reverse: a zero-length or
truncated `conpty.node` got a cross-architecture diagnosis. Every candidate is
now named with what was actually read, including "not a PE image".

The rebuild path asserts the architecture too. A rebuild that ignored `--arch`
was otherwise only visible at packaging, two steps from the command that fixes
it. Arches with no known machine value are left unjudged rather than guessed at.

Two things the extraction broke or nearly broke, both found by mutation:

- the shared PE reader answers `null` where the relay builder's private copy
  returned a number, which would have turned its "node-gyp ignored --arch" error
  into a `TypeError`. Both callers now go through `describePeMachine`.
- the rebuild fixtures stage a script's co-located modules by walking its
  imports, and the walker only understood `from '...'` — so the gate's new
  `require('./windows-pe-machine.cjs')` was left behind and every subprocess test
  failed with a resolution error, which is the exact failure its own comment
  warns about. It now follows `require` and bare side-effect `import` as well,
  and has tests; the fixture stages the gate by walking it rather than by naming
  one file.

Fixtures write real PE headers through one shared builder instead of three
hand-rolled ones.

* fix(windows): run the node-pty addon gates on the Windows job that can

`rebuild-native-deps-node-pty.test.mjs` carries four `skipIf(platform !== 'win32')`
tests. The full suite runs on ubuntu, and the Windows PR job runs an explicit
file list that never named this file -- so those tests were skipped on Linux and
never reached anywhere else. Three of them predate this branch. The Windows job
is added the four node-pty addon suites plus the module-walker one; the comment
above that list already says why it is the right place, which is that the addon
assertions only hold once natives have been rebuilt. Running the path-joining
suites there also covers the separator this gate's candidate list is built from.

The rest is round-three review:

- the rebuild-time arch assertion told a reader "node-gyp did not honour --arch"
  about a file that was not a PE image at all, which is a truncated or
  quarantined artifact and a different command to run. The two now read
  differently, and neither claims the other's cause. Same fix the packaged gate
  had one commit ago, in the place that had not had it yet.
- the missing-addon error said node-pty "would load" a prebuild without checking
  it is there. It says "fall through to" now, which is true either way.
- `isLoadableByArch` had no caller left once the packaged gate started needing
  the raw machine field for its message. Removed rather than kept warm.
- each candidate's header is read once instead of up to three times.
- the module walker's comment claimed every shape that reaches a co-located
  module; it does not follow `projectRequire`/`requireLocal`, and it must not --
  those specifiers resolve against the project root, so following one stages the
  wrong path and the copy fails. Proven by trying: widening the pattern to
  require-shaped names broke nine tests on
  `projectRequire('./config/scripts/...')`. The comment now says what it follows
  and why it stops there.
- a new test resolved a file URL with `.pathname`, which keeps the drive-letter
  slash on Windows -- the very job this commit adds it to.

* docs(windows): put the superseded export-only gate in the past tense

It describes what used to pass a broken addon, so present tense reads as a
description of the gate the same document then explains replacing it.

* fix(windows): repair what running the node-pty suites on Windows exposed

Putting these files on the Windows job turned four assertions red on the first
run. Three of them were in tests that carried `skipIf(platform !== 'win32')` and
had therefore never executed anywhere, on any branch.

- `writeFakeElectronRebuild` emitted the `windows-process-tree` addon a real
  rebuild leaves but never node-pty's, so every Windows test of the rebuild path
  ran against a tree no real rebuild can produce: node-pty "rebuilt" with nothing
  in `build/Release`. The new same-host check reads that state correctly and said
  so. The fake rebuild now writes `build/Release/conpty.node` when it was asked
  to rebuild node-pty for win32, with the marker and the target machine.
- `mkTempProject` never staged `windows-process-tree-creation-time.cjs`. The
  rebuild script reaches it through `projectRequire`, which resolves against the
  project root, so the module walker cannot follow it and must not try. Staged by
  name, with a comment saying which of the two it is. Without it the
  windows-process-tree probe failed to load its own checker and the module joined
  `modulesToRebuild`, which is the second and third red assertion.
- the two `nodePtyAddonPath` cases compared against a literal POSIX string.
  `resolve` returns a drive letter and backslashes on Windows, so they could only
  ever pass off it. Built from segments now, which still pins the `..` traversal
  that is the point of the test.

Verified on macOS: ensure-native-runtime-job-ownership,
verify-packaged-node-pty-job-ownership, windows-pe-machine,
script-module-dependencies, rebuild-native-deps-node-pty, rebuild-native-deps,
rebuild-native-deps-windows-process-tree, ensure-native-runtime -- 109 passed, 6
skipped. The 6 are the Windows-gated rebuild tests, which is the job this change
is aimed at; Windows CI is the arbiter.

* fix(windows): give the packaged fallback a third verdict, for a file that is no image

The packaged gate had two remedies for landing on the published prebuild and
picked between them on `!prebuilt`, which puts a truncated, empty or quarantined
`build/Release/conpty.node` in the cross-arch bucket: "the source build beside it
is the wrong architecture ... re-run with --arch". It is not the wrong
architecture, it is not an architecture, and `--arch` is not the command. The
rebuild-path gate was split for exactly this a commit ago; this is the same split
in the place that had not had it.

Also from review of the settled state:

- the stale-source-build branch ended in a call that happened to throw, so a
  reader could not see it was terminal and the file was read twice to get there.
  The verdict is now an Error the caller throws, built once from the read it
  already did, and shared with `assertCygwinBreakawayDenied` rather than copied.
- four injection seams had no consumer in production or in tests
  (`deniesBreakaway`, `peMachine`, and `exists`/`peMachine` on the rebuild
  verdict). An unused seam is a way for the tested path and the real one to drift
  apart; the tests drive both with real files. Removed.
- the loader table existed in a docblock and in the reference doc, already
  disagreeing about row four. The docblock cites the doc now.
- `peImage` stamped machine `0x0000` for an arch it had no value for, because
  `writeUInt16LE(undefined)` coerces to zero. A fixture that quietly invents the
  field the gates read is the same species of silent lie the gates exist to
  catch; it throws, and a test holds it to that.
- a test named for refusing an unreadable candidate asserted only that something
  threw. Renamed to what it proves.

* fix(windows): make the rebuild fixtures represent a tree that can exist

Second round of what running these suites on Windows exposed. The module the
walker could not stage is now staged, so the probe reached its own checker and
the real reasons surfaced:

- `writeFakeWindowsProcessTree` exported `{}`. The creation-time gate reads
  `supportedProcessDataFlags` off the addon and calls its absence "the tarball
  prebuilt, not a build of the patched source" — correctly. The fixture predates
  that gate and, being Windows-only, never met it. The healthy fake now reports
  the flag, taken from the gate's own constant. Two tests were failing on this,
  the second only because the module then joined `modulesToRebuild`.
- `rebuilds a loadable ConPTY native that lacks Orca job ownership` asked for a
  node-pty rebuild in a tree where node-pty had none of the payload its package
  ships. It gets `writeFakeNodePtyConptyPayload` like its two siblings.

I also tried making the fake rebuild emit `build/Release/conpty.node` the way a
real one does, and backed it out: `restoreNodePtyWindowsConptyRuntime` keys off
that file and then reads `third_party/conpty`, so emitting it in a tree without
the package payload turns one honest gap into an ENOENT two steps away. The
payload fixture is where "node-pty has its addon" belongs.

macOS: ensure-native-runtime-job-ownership, verify-packaged-node-pty-job-ownership,
windows-pe-machine, script-module-dependencies, rebuild-native-deps-node-pty,
rebuild-native-deps, rebuild-native-deps-windows-process-tree,
ensure-native-runtime — 112 passed, 6 skipped. The 6 are the Windows-gated
rebuild tests; Windows CI is the arbiter and is why they are on that job now.

* fix(windows): register the node-pty addon suites in the scope list too

Putting the five suites in the Windows lane's vitest argv gets them run once the
job starts; `WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS` in `pr-code-change-scope.mjs` is what decides
whether the job starts at all. Only the argv was updated, so a PR touching just
`rebuild-native-deps-node-pty.test.mjs` would not have started the Windows job,
and its four Windows-only cases — including the same-host-absent one added here —
would have run on no machine for that PR. Exactly the shape of gap this branch is
about. Both lists now name all five, and `windows-pe-machine`,
`windows-pe-image-fixture` and `script-module-dependencies` join
`NATIVE_RUNTIME_PREFIXES` so a change to the modules themselves starts it too.

`win32-test-lane-registration.test.mjs` exists to catch precisely this and did
not, because its matcher only recognises suite-level gates (`describe.runIf` /
`describe.skipIf`) and a `.win32.` filename. These tests gate per `it`. Widening
it is not this branch's change to make: about thirty files across the repo carry
per-`it` Windows gates and are unregistered, so the ratchet would move far beyond
node-pty. Flagged rather than done.

Message repairs from the same review:

- the non-PE arm of the rebuild-time arch error read "... is not a PE image, so
  nothing can load it, so node-pty would fall back ...". The shared consequence
  clause already opens with ", so".
- the no-source-build packaging error ended "Package this Windows slice on such a
  host", which is wrong advice for the case where the host IS such a host and the
  rebuild simply left nothing — reachable when the artifact is removed before
  prune runs. It now names both readings and points at the beforeBuild output.
- the relay-addon builder blamed `--arch` for a build output that is not a PE at
  all, the same guess the node-pty gate was taught to stop making.
- the patch-drift assertion was a bare `toBe(true)`, so a real drift read as
  "expected false to be true". It now names the two things that can have drifted
  and what happens until they agree.

Neil 13ba649c22 fix(terminal): let a runtime-created Windows terminal BE the requested shell (#20825)
* fix(terminal): let a runtime-created Windows terminal BE the requested shell

`orca terminal create --environment <windows-host> --command 'cmd.exe'` never
created a cmd terminal. `--command` is text the provider TYPES into whatever
shell it spawned, so the PTY stayed the host's default shell with cmd running
inside it. Captured on `awin`, whose default is Git Bash:

    $ orca terminal create --environment awin --command 'cmd.exe' --json
    $ orca terminal send --environment awin --terminal term_10656cf7... \
        --text exit --enter
    $ orca terminal read --environment awin --terminal term_10656cf7... --screen
      neil@awin MINGW64 ~/orca/orca ((30f820708f...))
      $ cmd.exe
      Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.26200.9445]
      C:\Users\neil\orca\orca>exit
      neil@awin MINGW64 ~/orca/orca ((30f820708f...))
      $

The handle is alive the whole time and `terminal list` shows one healthy
terminal, because the PTY never changed — so the only symptom is that the
caller's terminal is now a shell it never asked for, and every later `send` is
quoted for the wrong one. On `win-lowspec` (default pwsh) the same create lands
cmd inside PowerShell.

Root cause
----------
There are two spawn preflights and they are twins:

- `src/main/ipc/pty/ipc/spawn-preflight.ts` — renderer/IPC spawns, i.e. a
  terminal tab opened in the app.
- `src/main/ipc/pty/runtime/spawn-preflight.ts` — runtime spawns: the CLI's
  `terminal.create`, headless `orca serve`, and every paired remote
  environment.

Only the IPC twin read the caller's requested shell. The runtime twin passed a
literal `requestedShellOverride: undefined`, so a runtime-created terminal on
Windows could only ever be the host default. Everything downstream of that
point — `spawn-options`, the daemon, `resolvePtyShellOverride` in the relay,
`local-pty-launch-plan` — already honoured `shellOverride`; nothing upstream
could supply one.

Change
------
- Thread `shellOverride` through the runtime lane: `RuntimePtySpawnArgs` ->
  runtime `spawn-preflight` -> `RuntimePtyController.spawn` ->
  `TerminalCreateOptions` -> the `terminal.create` RPC's new `shell` param ->
  `orca terminal create --shell`.
- Thread it through the renderer-backed lane too (`createDesktopTerminal` ->
  `terminal:requestTabCreate` -> `store.createTab`), so `--shell --focus` is not
  silently dropped on a local Windows app.
- An agent launch quotes its startup command for the shell it will actually run
  in, so a requested shell now owns the startup-shell family instead of the
  global `terminalWindowsShell` setting.
- Lift the relay's `ALLOWED_WINDOWS_SHELL_OVERRIDES` into
  `isSupportedWindowsShellOverride` in `src/shared/windows-terminal-shell.ts`
  (membership unchanged) so the CLI, the zod param schema, and the relay refuse
  the same names. `--shell` therefore cannot carry a path or a command line into
  `pty.spawn`; only allowlisted bare shell names pass.
- Gate on `TERMINAL_CREATE_SHELL_SELECTION_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY`. An older host
  strips the unknown `shell` param and answers with a healthy terminal running
  its default shell — a reply indistinguishable from success — so the CLI
  refuses before creating anything rather than creating the wrong shell quietly.

`--shell` stays Windows-only; macOS and Linux hosts spawn the login shell and
the relay drops the value off win32 rather than honouring it half-way. A WSL
project runtime still outranks it, unchanged.

Tests
-----
- `pty-spawn-shell-override-parity.test.ts` pins both preflights against the
  exact drift that caused this (verified failing with the fix reverted).
- `createTerminal` passes `shellOverride` to `ptyController.spawn` with no
  startup command.
- CLI: sends `shell`, refuses a shell the host cannot spawn, and refuses a host
  without the capability — in both refusals without making the round trip.
- Allowlist and `terminal.create` schema accept/refuse cases, including paths
  and appended arguments.

* fix(terminal): refuse a requested shell the execution host cannot apply

The first commit made `--shell` reach the spawn, but only a LOCAL win32
execution host applies it: `spawn-options` gates the override on
`process.platform === 'win32' && !args.connectionId`. So `--shell cmd.exe`
against an SSH-routed worktree, or against a macOS/Linux host, still returned a
healthy terminal running that host's default shell — the same
indistinguishable-from-success reply the capability gate exists to prevent, one
layer down.

Refuse instead, before anything spawns. The check sits at the top of
`resolveAgentTerminalCreateOptions`, which every create lane funnels through, so
neither lane has to remember it; the desktop lane additionally refuses a
worktree-less create, which has no execution host to resolve a shell on.

An SSH host's platform and installed shells are not visible to this runtime, and
a POSIX host has no Windows shell to pick. Neither can honour the request, and
saying so is the whole point of the flag.

Docs and the CLI spec now say "refused", not "ignored".

* fix(terminal): refuse a shell that contradicts the project execution runtime

`resolveLocalWindowsTerminalRuntimeOptions` does not merely rank the project's
execution runtime above a per-terminal pick -- it REWRITES the pick, in both
directions, and says nothing:

- a WSL project forces `wsl.exe`, discarding `--shell cmd.exe`;
- a Windows-host project discards a WSL name and falls back to `COMSPEC`
  (`getHostShellForProjectRuntime`), so `--shell wsl.exe` spawns cmd. That is
  the common case, not an edge: `resolveProjectExecutionRuntime` resolves
  `windows-host` for every project that is not WSL, while a repo belonging to no
  project honours `wsl.exe` -- so the same flag behaved differently depending on
  whether the repo was in a project.

Either rewrite returns a healthy terminal running a shell the caller did not ask
for, which is the failure `--shell` exists to remove.

It also split an agent launch's quoting from the shell that receives it. The
previous commit made the startup-shell family follow the REQUESTED shell, so
`--shell wsl.exe --command codex` on a Windows-host project typed POSIX-quoted
launch args into cmd. Refusing the contradiction removes that case rather than
papering over it.

Refuse instead, alongside the SSH and non-Windows refusals, from the same
`resolveAgentTerminalCreateOptions` seam every create lane funnels through.

Also from review:
- the allowlist test looped the list against itself; spell the members out.
- the runtime spec case claimed to prove the pty's shell when it asserts the
  controller received the field; name it for what it checks.

Reported by an adversarial review of the branch.

* fix(terminal): canonicalize --shell and refuse a WSL-path rewrite

Review of the --shell create path turned up two ways the terminal could
still end up being a shell the caller never asked for -- the exact failure
--shell exists to remove.

Bare and mixed-case spellings passed the allowlist but reached consumers
that exact-match the canonical name: resolveWindowsShellStartupFamily
classified `cmd` as the PowerShell family, resolveWindowsShellLaunchArgs
fell through to empty shellArgs (no `chcp 65001`, no OSC 133 bootstrap that
Windows foreground status depends on), and resolveWindowsGitBashShellPath
compares case-sensitively so `Git-Bash` spawned a literal `Git-Bash`.
The allowlist is now one canonical-name map and terminal.create canonicalizes
on parse, so the spawn path only ever sees `.exe` spellings. `pwsh` and
`powershell` stay distinct binaries.

A `\\wsl$\<distro>\...` cwd made the providers force wsl.exe regardless of
the request, and terminalShellOverrideRefusal only inspected the project
runtime -- undefined for a folder workspace with no project. Refuse on the
resolved cwd and the workspace path, judging what the PTY actually gets.

Also: the capability gate reported an unreachable host as too old rather
than unavailable; the SSH CLI shim dropped capabilities from status, so
--shell there blamed the host version instead of naming SSH; and --shell
had no help entry, rendering bare in `orca terminal create --help`. Adding
that entry crossed help.ts's max-lines cap, so the flag table moved to
flag-help-text.ts rather than suppressing the rule.

Adds a behavioural test for the runtime preflight (the one-line fix was
pinned only by a source-text scan), plus coverage for the startup-command
quoting family, the no-workspace refusal, and the WSL-path refusal.

* fix(build): keep tests out of the RPC params catalog bundle

The catalog walk under methods/ already skips *.test.ts, but the contract
directory glob took every .ts. terminal-create-shell-param.test.ts is the
first test to live there, so the bundle pulled vitest into a CJS build and
the generator threw on require(). Same exclusion, same reason.

Neil 11180fa532 chore(lint): add anti-slop oxlint plugin (pinned, all rules off) (#20726)
* chore(lint): add anti-slop oxlint plugin (all rules off)

Vendors dmmulroy/anti-slop (MIT) plus no-call-only-assertions and
no-pass-through-type-alias from maharshi365/deslop (MIT). Every rule starts
"off"; each follow-up PR fixes one rule's violations and flips it to "error".

* fix(lint): actually exclude the vendored plugin from the anti-slop audit

oxlint does not honour ignorePatterns supplied via --config, so the
config/oxlint-plugins/anti-slop/** entry never matched and the vendored rule
source was being linted as first-party code (505 violations). Move the exclusion
to the --ignore-pattern CLI flag in audit:anti-slop, which does work, and drop
the entry that gave a false sense of coverage.

Keeping vendored source unlinted matters because anti-slop is updated by
three-way merge against the upstream snapshot; reformatting it locally would
conflict on every update.

* chore(lint): pin anti-slop instead of vendoring it; drop deslop

Replaces the ~5k vendored lines with a git-pinned devDependency:
  oxlint-plugin-anti-slop: github:dmmulroy/anti-slop#c44ef22

anti-slop ships raw .ts with no build step, and Node refuses to type-strip
anything under node_modules (ERR_UNSUPPORTED_NODE_MODULES_TYPE_STRIPPING), so
oxlint cannot load it from there -- which is why upstream says to vendor it. A
postinstall step copies the pinned package's source to .anti-slop-plugin/
(gitignored), which Node will type-strip because it sits outside node_modules.
Upgrading is now a SHA bump rather than a re-vendor and three-way merge.

Verified byte-identical rule output to the vendored copy across all 16 rules
that fire.

Drops maharshi365/deslop and its two rules (no-call-only-assertions,
no-pass-through-type-alias). It is not on npm either, so it would need a second
git pin and copy step, and it is a 5-star single-maintainer repo that is itself
a re-namespaced copy of anti-slop. One upstream is enough.

* ci(lint): run audit:anti-slop in PR CI

config/scripts/pr-workflow-lint-parity.test.mjs requires every step in
`pnpm lint` to have a matching step in .github/workflows/pr.yml; adding
audit:anti-slop to lint without the workflow step failed that ratchet.

Also makes audit:anti-slop sync the plugin itself before linting. The generated
.anti-slop-plugin/ directory is gitignored and otherwise only created by
postinstall, so a cached install that skips postinstall would leave oxlint
unable to load the plugin.

Jinwoo Hong 1f7655f3e3 feat(ai-vault-search): public session search contract and transports (#20277)
* feat(ai-vault-search): define public contract and service seam

* feat(ai-vault-search): add IPC runtime relay and web transports

* fix(ai-vault-search): register search IPC at the core handler site

ai-vault.ts was two lines over the 300-line max-lines limit; the search
handlers belong with the other register*Handlers calls anyway.

* fix(ai-vault-search): withhold degraded-root paths from relay status

Status carried local filesystem paths over the relay while hits redact
theirs. redactStatusForTransport applies the same policy at the same
boundary: relay callers keep each root's reason and the array length as
the count, so the type only makes root optional.

* fix(ai-vault-search): close diagnostic path leak and remove test casts

* feat(ai-vault-search): carry an execution host id and per-host outcomes on hits

* feat(ai-vault-search): route desktop search by execution host scope, including runtimes

* feat(preload): accept an execution host scope on session search

* feat(web): answer only for the paired runtime on session search

* docs(ai-vault-search): describe execution-host routing and the all-hosts merge

* test(ai-vault-search): cover every host scope, the all-hosts merge and wire compat

* fix(ai-vault-search): resume every host mid-page so a merged page never drops a hit

* fix(ai-vault-search): decode the merged cursor with a schema instead of casts

CI's type-aware audit refuses type assertions; a zod record validates the
per-host entries and yields the typed map without one.

* refactor(ai-vault-search): defer cross-host merged search

Neil e86cba888b build: reduce native dependency installs to the host platform (#20420)
* Reduce native dependency installs to the host platform

* Remove install policy documentation

* Guard cross-arch packaging and scope release installs to the runner

electron-builder only logs a warning for a missing extraResources source,
so a host-only install silently shipped a foreign-arch slice without its
natives — `pnpm build:mac` on Apple Silicon produced an x64 DMG with no
sherpa-onnx-darwin-x64 and no @parcel/watcher-darwin-x64. The previous
beforePack hook covered only win32.

- Add assertPackagedNativeVariantsInstalled, an arch-aware check over the
  target's sherpa-onnx, @parcel/watcher, and (on Windows) node-gyp addons.
  beforePack now runs it for every platform, with remedies split: another
  architecture comes from install:release, the os:win32 addons need a
  Windows host.
- Drop --os from the release installs. Every packaging job already runs on
  a runner whose OS matches its target, so only the macOS lanes need extra
  breadth, and only on CPU for their x64+arm64 config. Windows and Linux
  packaging return to a plain host-only install.
- Add --frozen-lockfile to install:release so a bare run cannot rewrite
  the lockfile.
- Restore the install policy reference doc and the CONTRIBUTING note, plus
  the rationale comments dropped from the runtime contract test.
- Gate the packaging-closure assertions on whether the Windows addons are
  installed rather than on the host OS, so a cross-arch install exercises
  them off Windows too.
- Make the workflow contract test read `run:` steps as well as retry-action
  commands, and enforce host-only scoping on the non-macOS packaging lanes.
- Remove the unreferenced install measurement script; its numbers live in
  the policy doc.

* Track the install policy doc and index it from AGENTS.md

docs/** is ignored behind a per-file allow-list, so the new reference doc
was only committed via git add -f and future edits would be skipped. Add
it to the allow-list and give it an AGENTS.md entry like every other
tracked reference doc, so the host-only install rule is discoverable
before someone packages a second architecture.

* Route Windows-lane removals through the retrying helper

Adding these four specs to the PR Windows lane pulled them into the
windows-lane-tree-removal-boundary ratchet, which failed on 20 raw
recursive removals. On Windows a bare rmSync races a handle the OS has
not released, throwing EPERM after the assertions already passed and
reporting a green test as a lane failure.

* Adapt the packaging guard to the vendored Windows registry addon

main vendored windows-native-registry as the workspace package
@orca/windows-registry (#20438). A workspace link resolves on every
host, so including it in the installed-Windows-addons checks proved
nothing. @vscode/windows-process-tree is the only os: win32 npm addon
left, so it alone decides whether the win32 resource plan resolves.

Neil 5127d1eb3b refactor(windows): vendor the registry addon as @orca/windows-registry (#20438)
* refactor(windows): vendor the registry addon as @orca/windows-registry

windows-native-registry@3.2.2 was last published in 2023 by a single
maintainer. Orca called two of its exports, both read-only, so the whole
dependency is replaced by a local N-API addon under native/.

The vendored addon is read-only by construction: setValue, createKey and
deleteKey are gone, so RegDeleteTreeW no longer ships in the app. Two
upstream defects are also fixed rather than carried over — the name/data
scratch buffers were file-scope statics that concurrent reads would
scribble over, and createKey/deleteKey called .c_str() on a temporary.

Build wiring keeps the existing shape: still an optionalDependency gated
to win32, still excluded from pnpm's allowBuilds so only Orca's own
Windows rebuild runs node-gyp for it, still copied into the packaged
resources. The CI native caches now key on the vendored sources so an
addon.cc edit cannot restore a stale .node.

* test(windows): check the vendored registry addon against reg.exe

The addon is vendored source, so no upstream release proves it still
decodes values the way Orca's PATH readers expect. reg.exe is the only
independent oracle on the box.

* ci(windows): register the registry addon test on the Windows runner

A Windows-gated file self-skips on ubuntu, so without both registrations
it reports success while running on no machine at all.

* fix(build): link the registry addon as a workspace package, not file:

As a `file:` dependency pnpm re-resolved and re-linked the package on
every install, including `--frozen-lockfile` (measured: "added 1" on a
repeat no-op install). That virtual-store churn ran concurrently with
node-gyp reading the same tree and cost @vscode/windows-process-tree its
binding.gyp mid-rebuild, failing package (windows) whenever the native
cache hit and only that module needed building. The linux packaging job
hit the same race from the other side, as a pnpm staging move failure.

A workspace link resolves once and leaves the store alone; repeat
installs are now 55ms no-ops. native/windows-registry is listed
explicitly so `packages:` still does not auto-discover mobile/.

* fix(build): stop tracking node-gyp output for the vendored addon

The build/ tree is generated per host and ABI; the committed copy was
macOS-specific gyp scaffolding from a local build and would have shipped
stale Makefiles to every checkout.

* chore: ignore the vendored addon's node-gyp bin output too

node-gyp also emits bin/<platform>-<abi>/ beside build/; both are per-host
generated output that must never be committed.

Jinwoo Hong fa3d29fa11 feat(ai-vault-search): session search query engine over the index (#20029)
* feat(ai-vault-search): give the index a generation a page cursor can be fenced by

A search page is a slice of one ranked list, so a cursor only means anything
against the snapshot that produced it. The store now keeps a monotone
generation in `meta`, bumped by every mutation that can change which rows a
read returns, and starts a new one on open so a write whose bump never landed
cannot leave a cursor pointing at content that is already gone.

Schema version 2 adds the two tables the query layer needs: `messages_vocab`
(fts5vocab over messages_fts, the typo repair's whole dictionary) and
`search_log`. Both are pure additions and the index is a cache, so a version-1
file is dropped and rebuilt exactly as any other mismatch is.

* feat(ai-vault-search): plan a query the way the index tokenized it

The planner unfolds the tokenizer contract instead of asking SQLite: same
boundaries as `unicode61 tokenchars '_.-/+'`, pinned against real fts5vocab
output so a query can be planned without a round trip. It decides the route
ladder's first rung (literal shape), strips stop words from prose but never
from a literal, and fans an identifier out into its pieces for the OR fallback.

Typo repair uses the index's own vocabulary as its dictionary, so it can never
suggest a term the index does not hold. Its exact-match probe now joins
`visible_messages`: `messages_vocab` is a view over the FTS b-tree and still
lists staged and tombstoned terms, and the PR 2 read ratchet is right to
demand the join.

`splitAiVaultSearchQuery` is the index's reading of repo: / path:. It keeps
operator case, which the panel folds and cwd_key must not; a census test pins
the two parsers to the same answer about what is an operator until PR 7 moves
the panel onto this one.

* feat(ai-vault-search): narrow a search the way the sidebar keys a folder

Every caller-supplied narrowing in one place, so retrieval, the operator-only
page and the session load cannot drift apart: agents, an updated-at floor, the
retention cutoff, scope paths, and the repo: / path: operators.

Scope keying goes through PR 2's `cwdKey`, which is the sidebar's
`folderGroupKey` without its prefix, rather than the original branch's second
spelling. That drops the branch's WSL distro qualification, which PR 2 removed
on purpose, and it makes the filesystem root a key that already ends in a
separator, so the child-prefix range is built from the key rather than by
appending one; `//` sorts below every real child and would scope the root to
nothing.

Engine types land here too, under src/main and not src/shared: nothing in this
PR is a wire type, and PR 5 lifts what a caller may receive.

* feat(ai-vault-search): rank, page and answer a session search

`SessionSearchEngine.search()` over the PR 2 store: route ladder (phrase, AND,
typo repair, OR), BM25 weights per corpus, one hit per session, fork folding,
and a page.

- `scope` picks the corpus and the engine never second-guesses it.
  `conversation` is user and assistant turns; `all` adds tool output and the
  identifier shadow column. Switching corpus while typing is PR 7's policy; an
  engine that widened on a miss would make a result impossible to reproduce
  from its own request.
- Pagination is an offset into one ranked list, fenced by the index generation
  and by a hash of everything that changes the ranking. A cursor from another
  generation or another query is refused with a typed error rather than
  silently re-run. Ranking breaks every tie by session id, because a cursor
  indexes into that order and retrieval does not promise one.
- Snippets and source presence are paid for by the page, not the list. A
  snippet past the per-hit ceiling is cut on a code point, never between `[[`
  and its `]]`, and flagged on the hit.
- Source presence is read from the `files` table. No stat on the query path,
  and no `missing`: only a proven deletion may claim one, and this read cannot
  prove it.
- `SESSION_SEARCH_CANDIDATE_LIMIT_DEFAULT` is an option, not a constant, and
  the result says when the limit was what cut the answer.
- The engine is the only caller of `store.warm()`, on first search.

Library only: no IPC, no settings, no Electron, nothing constructs it in
production.

* perf(ai-vault-search): measure what a query costs and what the candidate limit buys

Two corpora, because they answer different questions. The 10.5 MB / 40-session
corpus is what the scope split costs a reader: conversation is about 1.6x
faster at p50 and 3.4x at p95 than the full corpus, which is the argument for
the second FTS table being the one a keystroke can afford.

The candidate limit needs more sessions than the limit before it costs
anything, so it is swept over 2,500 one-turn transcripts with every session
matching. Limits are interleaved sample by sample: run back to back, the first
configuration pays for every page the OS cache had not seen and the ordering
alone moved p95 further than the limit did.

The doc says plainly what these numbers do not cover. They are cost, not
relevance; the MRR figures quoted beside the BM25 weights and the identifier
shadow column come from a shoot-out over real transcripts and cannot be
reproduced from this repository.

* refactor(ai-vault-search): key a page once per search, and report reachable pages honestly

The page key was hashed twice per search, once to decode the incoming cursor
and once to mint the outgoing one. The benchmark's reachable-page figure was
clamped against a constant that could never bind; it is the limit over the page
size and nothing else.

* test(ai-vault-search): pin the two engine seams nothing was holding

The warm wiring and the query-length cap were both written and neither was
observable. A spy pins that a search is what warms the store, and the cap is
pinned through the one input the planner's own term limit does not already
bound: a single enormous token, where the cut is what decides whether the term
matches the indexed one at all.

* fix(ai-vault-search): fence the generation against writers this process cannot see

The generation was cached in memory and moved only on this store's own writes,
and the bump itself was a read-then-write outside any transaction. Two handles
on one file is the normal case once PR 3 lands: the indexer writes in the
scanner child while an engine reads elsewhere. A reader would see that writer's
deletions while its own generation stood still, honour a stale cursor, and skip
a session; two writers could mint one generation for two snapshots.

`generation` now reads `meta` on every call, and the bump is a single
`ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE ... + 1` inside the transaction that makes the change.
That closes the crash hole the bump-on-open existed for, so opening a store no
longer invalidates anyone's cursor.

Only a change to what a read returns counts. Retiring a path the index never
held hides nothing, and the row deletes that drain a tombstone take away rows
that were already invisible: bumping there would refuse a cursor every 256 rows
and leave pagination unusable for as long as indexing ran.

Also drops redaction from the query log, following PR 2's decision to store
transcript content as written; the module it called no longer exists.

* fix(ai-vault-search): answer from a version-1 index, and keep a repaired literal whole

Two smaller findings.

An engine can be handed a connection to a version-1 file that another handle is
still answering from, and this PR is what first makes that reachable. It now
probes once for the two tables version 2 added and names what it cannot serve
on every result, instead of throwing at the first query that reaches for a
vocabulary that is not there. The route ladder simply skips its repair rung.
Which process may unlink and rebuild the index is PR 3b's decision and is not
solved here.

Typo repair re-planned the corrected query from scratch, and a corrected
spelling can read as prose even when what was typed was a literal:
`parseJsonn(the, data)` has the punctuation, `parsejson the data` does not, so
the re-plan dropped `the` as a stop word. The repaired query searched for less
than was asked and `repairedTerms` reported a body nobody typed. The re-plan is
now told what the original decided, because a repair changes spellings, not the
query's character.

`repairedTerms` is documented as the whole body the repaired plan ran, with the
index's own case-folded spelling for the terms it corrected.

* fix(ai-vault-search): make repo: and path: mean one thing in the list and the index

The engine said `repo:` and `path:` a second time, in SQL, and SQL cannot say
them. LIKE folds ASCII and nothing else, so `path:CAFÉ` missed `café`; the
engine searched `cwd_key` while the panel searches the working directory and
the transcript path, so `path:jsonl` matched every session in the panel and
none in the index; and the engine compared one path segment where the panel
compares the last two, so `repo:orca/session-search` missed. All four
reproduce in both directions.

So there is one definition now, not two that resemble each other.
`matchesAiVaultQueryOperators` moves into the shared filter module beside the
panel that already owned the semantics, the panel calls it, and the engine
applies it over the rows it retrieved. SQL keeps only what it can express
exactly: the `cwd_key` prefix range for `scopePaths`.

`parseVaultQuery` now parses through `splitAiVaultSearchQuery`, so one parser
decides what an operator is. Its existing tests pass unchanged; four degenerate
shapes do answer differently and are pinned as decisions rather than left to be
discovered.

Two consequences worth stating. The operators are conjunctive now, because that
is what the panel has always done, where the engine had been ORing within a
key. And the operator-only page walks newest sessions in bounded pages applying
the predicate, rather than taking one cut of the newest N and filtering it,
which would have answered `repo:x` with nothing on a busy index.

* docs(ai-vault-search): re-measure the query benchmark after the operator change

repo: and path: moved out of SQL, so the operator-only row measures something
different now and the note that it is a range seek was wrong. The rest of the
table is re-measured on an idle machine: the previous run's p95 column was
mostly contention, which is why conversation looked 3.4x faster at p95 rather
than the 1.7x it actually is.

Adds what this PR does not settle: which process may unlink and rebuild the
index is PR 3b's, and PR 4 is only the first thing that makes reading it
reachable.

* fix(ai-vault-search): stop reporting a search that gave up as a search that finished

The operator-only walk stops at a scan ceiling as well as at a full candidate
set, and only the first of those reached the result. A query whose one match
sat past the ceiling came back with no hits and truncated.candidates false,
which is the engine claiming there is nothing to find when what happened is
that it stopped looking. Retrieval now says why it stopped, because it is the
only layer that knows, and the count it used to return could not distinguish
the two cases.

The cursor fence stays as it is: any published read moves the generation, so an
outstanding cursor is refused, and that is what F11 asked for. What was wrong
was the claim next to the row-delete skip that pagination stays usable through
indexing. It does not, and the engine now says so. The rejection carries the
generation the cursor was minted in and the one the index is at, so a caller
can tell a moved index from a bad cursor and re-issue page one without showing
anyone an error.

The capability probe was nearly dead code, since every store opens through a
function that rebuilds a stale file. It is not dead, because two handles can be
open on one file, so the claim is corrected rather than the probe deleted. It
now runs per search: a verdict cached in the constructor is wrong in both
directions once another handle rebuilds the index.

Also says why the row-delete loop may skip the bump: those messages keep
batch_id NULL and stay in visible_messages, so what makes them unreachable is
their session's tombstone, and the read ratchet is what keeps every reader
joining the view that applies it.

* fix(ai-vault-search): restore the panel's reading of a quote that does not end a word

Unifying the two parsers changed panel behaviour on nine of twenty probed
shapes, not the three previously pinned. Six of the nine were regressions, all
from one rule: the shared parser refused a quoted span whose closing quote was
not followed by a space, so `"a b"c` and `repo:"a"b` became single terms
carrying their own quote characters, which match nothing.

The rule was justified as what stops the apostrophes in `it's a repo:orca
thing's` from swallowing the operator between them. It is not: a span only ever
opens at a token start, and the quote in `it's` is not at one. Dropping the
rule restores all six shapes to what the panel has always done and leaves that
protection intact.

Three changes remain and are kept because the old answer was worse in each: an
operator with an empty quoted value is dropped rather than filtering on `""`
and silently emptying the list, and a bare pair of quotes reads as an empty
term rather than as the two characters. Each is pinned with a test that says
which behaviour it is and why.

* fix(ai-vault-search): trim operator values, and report a query the engine had to cut

Three lows.

`repo:"  "` survived as a term and matched no label, silently emptying the
list, which is the exact defect the empty-value drop exists to prevent wearing
different clothes. Operator values are trimmed, and a whitespace-only one drops
like an empty one. The substring matcher's copy of a free-text term is trimmed
too, so `"  "` reads as the empty term already does; the span kept for FTS is
still the query verbatim.

Two caps upstream of retrieval fired silently: the planner searches at most 48
terms, and the engine cuts the query at 512 characters. A 56-term query whose
only match was the 56th came back with no hits and nothing truncated, which
claims there is nothing to find. `truncated.query` now says when either fired,
alongside the candidate and snippet flags that already did.

Every cursor refusal now carries the generation the index is at, which the
engine knows before it looks at the cursor, and the generation the cursor
claimed wherever that survived parsing. The doc says exactly when each is
present instead of leaving absence unexplained.

* refactor(ai-vault-search): read the tables the simplified index writes, and own the fence

PR 2 deleted the visibility views, the staging tables and the store's
generation, so this reads `sessions` and `messages` directly and carries the
three schema objects only a query needs — the vocabulary, the query log, and
the triggers that move the generation — as its own extension over the store's
schema.

The fence is now three triggers on `files`, because every transaction the store
opens that can change what a search returns writes that table and nothing else
does; retention's orphan drain is the one write path that touches neither, and
it is the one that must not bump. The triggers live in the file, so a writer in
another process moves the generation without knowing a reader exists.

A message row can now outlive its session row until the drain reaches it, so
the snippet read joins `sessions` and the typo repair asks for a live posting
instead of trusting the vocabulary's document count.

The engine takes a connection rather than a store: PR 2's store keeps its
connection private, and which process may open or rebuild the index file is
PR 3b's decision, not a query engine's.

* perf(ai-vault-search): price the second FTS table, and re-measure without warmup

Open decision 3. A column filter over `messages_fts` returns the identical
rowid set as `conversation_fts` — checked here per query rather than assumed —
so the table exists for latency alone. On a 105 MB corpus at both ends of the
tool-output band, the column-filtered form costs 1.16-1.42x at p95, against a
bar of 2x, so the recommendation is to delete it.

The shoot-out writes its own corpus because the answer turns on the one
property the shared generator fixes: how much of a transcript is tool output.
Half the tokens in that output are words the conversation also uses, which is
deliberately generous to the table under question.

The doc records the number that argues the other way. PR 2 priced the table at
about a quarter of the index on a corpus whose tool output is 56% of its
message text; on a tool-heavy one it is 6.7-11%, because `messages_fts` grows
with the tool text and the second table does not.

Page warmup is not re-added. The measurement behind it was on a 4 GB index,
removing it moves this corpus by less than the run-to-run spread, and a
cancellable background pass needs a lifecycle a query library does not have.

* test(ai-vault-search): pin that an append moves the generation a cursor is fenced by

* refactor(ai-vault-search): answer the conversation scope with a column filter

PR 2 deleted `conversation_fts` on the strength of this PR's shoot-out, so the
scope is a column filter over the one FTS table now. `ftsTableFor` is gone; a
scope is a pair of `scopedExpression` and `scopedWeights`, and the table name
no longer travels through the engine, the snippet builder or a hit.

The filter is parenthesised, and that is the whole of it: `{cols}: (a AND b)`
binds both terms, while `{cols}: a AND b` binds only the first and searches
tool output for the rest. A test drives an AND whose second term lives only in
tool output through both scopes.

The snippet keeps one guard, not two. Its column list and its expression were
each hiding the other's mistakes — a tool-only row was unreachable through
either — so the list is the same four columns for every scope and the scoped
expression is what makes a conversation snippet impossible to draw out of tool
output. Dropping it now leaks that row, which a test catches.

One behaviour the deleted table did not have, pinned rather than wished away:
bm25 normalises by the whole row's length and has no per-column length, so two
rows with identical prose score differently when one also holds tool output.
The rowid set is unchanged; the order within it can move.

Re-measured on the shipping schema. The conversation scope is 1.2-1.4x faster
than `all` at every rung, and the index is 57 MB rather than about 150 MB at
93% tool output, because a tool row is now capped at 3,072 characters.

* fix(ai-vault-search): repair a spelling inside the scope that will answer it

Typo repair read `messages_vocab` and probed `messages_fts` with no column
filter, so tool output decided whether a conversation-scoped query was
repaired, in both directions. A tool row carrying the misspelling made the
query look correctly spelled and suppressed the repair; a tool row carrying a
rare word became the suggestion, naming in `repairedTerms` a string from a
column the scope will never show. Both reproduced against a control index that
differs by exactly that one row.

The vocabulary proposes and a scoped count disposes. fts5vocab is per table and
cannot be column-filtered, so every decision that reaches the plan — already
spelled right, eligible, and which of two equally close candidates wins — now
comes from a `messages_fts MATCH` under the same filter retrieval uses, joined
to `sessions`.

That also takes the vocabulary's `doc` out of the ranking, which is the half of
the drain defect that belongs here: `doc` counts rows whose session a purge has
already cut loose, so reclaiming them changed which word a query was repaired
to. Candidates are ordered by term now, because the ordering decides which of
them survive the scan limit, and ties on similarity go to the more common word
counted live rather than to the vocabulary's number.

The cost is one bounded count per candidate examined, at most eight per prefix,
and only for a term the scope has no posting for at all.

* fix(ai-vault-search): fence the rows a purge reclaims after it cuts a session loose

Retention's second half deletes from `messages` alone and touched neither
`files` nor `sessions`, so it moved no generation. The argument was that those
rows answer nothing, which was true of retrieval and not of the engine: the
typo repair's dictionary is a view over the FTS b-tree and listed them, so a
drain running between two pages swapped the repair under a cursor that was
still honoured, and a search that had answered stopped answering.

The commit before this one fixes that at its source by counting live rows. It
does not make the drain provably inert — the vocabulary still decides which
candidates survive its scan limit, and reclaiming a term's last row moves where
that limit cuts — so the fence is what covers the rest.

A fourth trigger, on `messages`, with a `WHEN` clause that is the whole reason
it is affordable: a replace and a `removeFile` delete a session's rows while
its `sessions` row still stands, so neither fires, and both already bump
through `files`. Only the drain deletes a row whose session is gone.

The price is named rather than avoided: a cursor outstanding while a purge runs
is now refused once per batch, which `SessionSearchCursorError` reports as
`stale-generation` so a caller re-issues page one. The test that pinned the old
contract is replaced by one for the new one, and by one proving a replace still
does not fire it.

* fix(ai-vault-search): tell a highlight from a transcript that contains brackets

The snippet builder asked each of a row's four columns for a marked snippet and
showed the first whose text contained `[[`. Transcripts contain `[[`: a bash
`if [[ -f … ]]`, numpy's `[[1, 2], [3, 4]]`. A row matching only in tool output
was shown its user turn instead, with nothing highlighted in it, and the
any-column fallback an identifier-only match depends on was unreachable behind
the same collision.

Whether a column matched is now the difference between two renderings of the
same text: `snippet(…, MARK, MARK, …)` beside `snippet(…, '', '', …)`. Content
cannot forge a difference between those two, because it is the same content
either way.

The marks FTS5 inserts are private-use code points, rewritten to the public
`[[` and `]]` once, at the end. That is for the other decision that has to tell
a mark from content: the truncation refuses to cut between an open mark and its
close, and a transcript's own bracket used to move that cut.

* fix(ai-vault-search): cut a query on a code point and bind ids in batches

Two small ones from the review's not-routed list.

`query.slice(0, 512)` can land between the halves of a surrogate pair, leaving
a lone half that matches nothing and that a caller cannot echo back. The reader
already has `sliceAtCodeUnitLimit` for exactly this.

`loadSessions` bound one parameter per candidate id in a single statement. The
list is as long as the candidate limit, the tuning doc invites a host to raise
that limit, and SQLite's `SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER` is 999 on builds older
than 3.32 — so one settings change away from `too many SQL variables`. Read in
batches of 500, leaving room for the filter's own bound values.

* docs(ai-vault-search): price the repair rung, and record what is left open

Typo repair is the one rung whose cost tracks the vocabulary rather than the
result, and it only runs for a term the scope has no posting for. Measured over
1.6 M distinct terms: 10 ms for one unknown term, 387 ms for a 480-character
query of thirty-nine of them.

The scoped-count fix made that cheaper rather than dearer, from 737 ms, because
ordering the vocabulary scan by term drops the sort `doc DESC` needed and the
counts it adds are at most eight bounded probes per prefix. A cap on unknown
terms per query is a follow-up in the split plan, with the five other items the
final review raised and did not route.

* test(ai-vault-search): make each snippet mark mechanism answer for itself

Two mechanisms landed together and hid each other: choosing a column by
comparing a marked rendering against an unmarked one, and marking with
private-use code points instead of `[[`. Either alone fixed the bracket repro,
so neither had a mutation against it — the same masking the snippet's two
column guards had a round ago.

They do different jobs, so both stay and each gets the test that needs it. A
transcript holding a private-use code point of its own is what the comparison
is for; agent output carries Nerd Font glyphs from that block. A snippet past
the character ceiling with a bracket after its last real mark is what the
private-use marks are for, because the truncation has to find that mark by
searching the text.

The two one-line fixes get honest framing rather than a mutation neither can
have. A lone surrogate is not a token character, so the planner drops it either
way and the safe cut is hygiene. And no SQLite this stack runs refuses 1,100
bound ids — 32,766 has been the floor since 3.32 — so the batch is about
owning the ceiling here rather than rescuing a reachable failure.

* refactor(ai-vault-search): keep the scope's expression with the other expressions

Making the typo repair ask its questions in the search's own scope put an
import from retrieval into it, and retrieval already owns the repair — a cycle
the native audit catches. `scopedExpression` belongs beside `phraseExpression`,
`andExpression` and `orExpression` anyway: it builds a MATCH expression, and
two callers now need it. The bm25 weights stay in retrieval, where the SQL that
uses them is.

Neil 6bb2b0c6d7 test(runtime): capture real Antigravity transcripts — the detector is inverted on live output (#19983)
* test(runtime): capture real agent PTY transcripts before rewriting Antigravity readiness

Antigravity readiness has been written five times against a five-line screen
typed from memory. There is no Antigravity transcript in this repository, so
every attempt was a guess tested against another guess. This adds the recorder,
the protocol and the fixture-driven suite so the sixth attempt can be written
against evidence, and changes no detector logic.

- config/scripts/capture-agent-pty-transcript.mjs records a live agent session
  through a real PTY, escapes and wrapping intact. Ctrl-] is consumed by the
  recorder and never forwarded, which is the only way to end a capture while a
  dialog still owns the screen.
- config/scripts/pty-transcript-secret-scan.mjs finds account identifiers and
  credentials, redacts them with same-length placeholders so wrapping survives,
  and recognises its own placeholders so a scrubbed file verifies clean.
- src/main/runtime/antigravity-readiness-transcripts.test.ts asserts a verdict
  per transcript and skips by name until the transcripts land, with a
  doc-coverage ratchet and a guard that a fixture contains escape bytes.

The escape-byte guard exists because the three cursor-agent fixtures carry a
comment claiming they were captured verbatim through Orca, yet contain zero ESC
bytes and zero carriage returns. That comment is corrected here to say what
those files are; the fixtures and the rules built on them are untouched.

* test(runtime): capture real Antigravity transcripts, and pin what they prove

`agy` 1.1.25 turned out to be installed, so the transcripts this scaffold was
built for now exist. Six are recorded from live sessions and committed; the
rest are named as skipped, because reaching them would mean signing the
operator out or deleting their config.

The captures invert the story. On real output the shipped detector refuses a
genuinely ready screen and accepts a live `/model` picker:

- Antigravity paints a block-glyph logo down the left, so the model row never
  starts a line. `startsWith('gemini', trimmedStart)` cannot match a real ready
  screen, on any account or model. Stripping the logo flips the same screen to
  ready, which means a decorative glyph decides readiness today.
- The `/model` picker prints `Gemini 3.x Flash` one per line, at line start, and
  a bare `>` composer sits earlier in the tail. Both halves of the rule are
  satisfied while a dialog owns the screen.
- For an API-key user the identity row reads `Gemini API key` — no `@`, no
  domain — and `AGY_CLI_HIDE_ACCOUNT_INFO=1` removes the row entirely. The
  account-row requirement of attempts 4 and 5 can never pass for those users.
- The banner is printed once and never reprinted after a dialog is dismissed, so
  `headerIndex` cannot be the ordering anchor.

Four suite cases are pinned as KNOWN DEFECT: they assert what the detector does
so CI stays honest instead of permanently red, and flip to failing the moment
someone fixes it. No detector logic changed.

The recorder gains `--send "<ms>:<text>"` because a dialog capture has to be
driven and an unattended run has no TTY, and the scrub scanner gains a UUID rule
because agy prints a resumable conversation id on exit.

* test(runtime): capture agy mid-turn, and make the scan file reviewable

Answers the busy-frame question a P1 review raised against attempt six, with
two new captures from a live turn.

At the frame level the review is right: a busy frame parks the caret with the
same bytes as an idle one, `CR ESC[2A ESC[2C`, and the only differing row —
`esc to cancel` versus `? for shortcuts` — is erased by that park.

At the retained-tail level it does not reproduce. Each spinner tick is its own
repaint with its own `CR ESC[2A`, two rows higher than the frame's, which
splices the composer away: a live turn's tail ends on `⣟  Generating...`, with
no bare caret to match. A constructed input that keeps the park and edits only
the status text is not faithful, because a live turn has a spinner row
repainting below the composer.

The residual is the gap between a frame park and the next tick, where the tail
does end on the bare caret. Quiescence-gated paths are safe there because ticks
keep arriving; text-only paths are not, and for those the capture supports one
clause: a braille glyph on the last visible line means working. That predicate
already exists here for cursor-agent and should be reused, scoped to the last
line — a first-run transcript prints `⠾ Signing in...` during startup.

Also in this commit, from the same review:

- pty-transcript-secret-scan.mjs held raw 0x00-0x1f bytes in a character class,
  so the one file gating real PTY data into history was binary to git and
  unreviewable in a diff. It now tests codepoints, which the formatter cannot
  fold back into control bytes.
- Pin `src/main/runtime/__fixtures__/*.txt` as -text. A Windows checkout would
  otherwise normalise line endings and rewrite the CR bytes that make these
  files evidence.

The recorder now stops appending at the stop moment rather than through
shutdown: an agent repaints an idle frame on its way out, which was overwriting
the mid-turn state the capture existed to record.

* test(tooling): allowlist the transcript scan test in the batch-shim ratchet

pty-transcript-secret-scan.test.mjs asserts that the capture recorder routes
an 'agy.cmd' shim through cmd.exe, so the shim literal it names is the
assertion, not a spawn. Fits the existing assert-on-shim-files category.

Jinwoo Hong cf7408a37f feat(ai-vault-search): session search query engine over the index (#19750)
* feat(ai-vault-search): give the index a generation a page cursor can be fenced by

A search page is a slice of one ranked list, so a cursor only means anything
against the snapshot that produced it. The store now keeps a monotone
generation in `meta`, bumped by every mutation that can change which rows a
read returns, and starts a new one on open so a write whose bump never landed
cannot leave a cursor pointing at content that is already gone.

Schema version 2 adds the two tables the query layer needs: `messages_vocab`
(fts5vocab over messages_fts, the typo repair's whole dictionary) and
`search_log`. Both are pure additions and the index is a cache, so a version-1
file is dropped and rebuilt exactly as any other mismatch is.

* feat(ai-vault-search): plan a query the way the index tokenized it

The planner unfolds the tokenizer contract instead of asking SQLite: same
boundaries as `unicode61 tokenchars '_.-/+'`, pinned against real fts5vocab
output so a query can be planned without a round trip. It decides the route
ladder's first rung (literal shape), strips stop words from prose but never
from a literal, and fans an identifier out into its pieces for the OR fallback.

Typo repair uses the index's own vocabulary as its dictionary, so it can never
suggest a term the index does not hold. Its exact-match probe now joins
`visible_messages`: `messages_vocab` is a view over the FTS b-tree and still
lists staged and tombstoned terms, and the PR 2 read ratchet is right to
demand the join.

`splitAiVaultSearchQuery` is the index's reading of repo: / path:. It keeps
operator case, which the panel folds and cwd_key must not; a census test pins
the two parsers to the same answer about what is an operator until PR 7 moves
the panel onto this one.

* feat(ai-vault-search): narrow a search the way the sidebar keys a folder

Every caller-supplied narrowing in one place, so retrieval, the operator-only
page and the session load cannot drift apart: agents, an updated-at floor, the
retention cutoff, scope paths, and the repo: / path: operators.

Scope keying goes through PR 2's `cwdKey`, which is the sidebar's
`folderGroupKey` without its prefix, rather than the original branch's second
spelling. That drops the branch's WSL distro qualification, which PR 2 removed
on purpose, and it makes the filesystem root a key that already ends in a
separator, so the child-prefix range is built from the key rather than by
appending one; `//` sorts below every real child and would scope the root to
nothing.

Engine types land here too, under src/main and not src/shared: nothing in this
PR is a wire type, and PR 5 lifts what a caller may receive.

* feat(ai-vault-search): rank, page and answer a session search

`SessionSearchEngine.search()` over the PR 2 store: route ladder (phrase, AND,
typo repair, OR), BM25 weights per corpus, one hit per session, fork folding,
and a page.

- `scope` picks the corpus and the engine never second-guesses it.
  `conversation` is user and assistant turns; `all` adds tool output and the
  identifier shadow column. Switching corpus while typing is PR 7's policy; an
  engine that widened on a miss would make a result impossible to reproduce
  from its own request.
- Pagination is an offset into one ranked list, fenced by the index generation
  and by a hash of everything that changes the ranking. A cursor from another
  generation or another query is refused with a typed error rather than
  silently re-run. Ranking breaks every tie by session id, because a cursor
  indexes into that order and retrieval does not promise one.
- Snippets and source presence are paid for by the page, not the list. A
  snippet past the per-hit ceiling is cut on a code point, never between `[[`
  and its `]]`, and flagged on the hit.
- Source presence is read from the `files` table. No stat on the query path,
  and no `missing`: only a proven deletion may claim one, and this read cannot
  prove it.
- `SESSION_SEARCH_CANDIDATE_LIMIT_DEFAULT` is an option, not a constant, and
  the result says when the limit was what cut the answer.
- The engine is the only caller of `store.warm()`, on first search.

Library only: no IPC, no settings, no Electron, nothing constructs it in
production.

* perf(ai-vault-search): measure what a query costs and what the candidate limit buys

Two corpora, because they answer different questions. The 10.5 MB / 40-session
corpus is what the scope split costs a reader: conversation is about 1.6x
faster at p50 and 3.4x at p95 than the full corpus, which is the argument for
the second FTS table being the one a keystroke can afford.

The candidate limit needs more sessions than the limit before it costs
anything, so it is swept over 2,500 one-turn transcripts with every session
matching. Limits are interleaved sample by sample: run back to back, the first
configuration pays for every page the OS cache had not seen and the ordering
alone moved p95 further than the limit did.

The doc says plainly what these numbers do not cover. They are cost, not
relevance; the MRR figures quoted beside the BM25 weights and the identifier
shadow column come from a shoot-out over real transcripts and cannot be
reproduced from this repository.

* refactor(ai-vault-search): key a page once per search, and report reachable pages honestly

The page key was hashed twice per search, once to decode the incoming cursor
and once to mint the outgoing one. The benchmark's reachable-page figure was
clamped against a constant that could never bind; it is the limit over the page
size and nothing else.

* test(ai-vault-search): pin the two engine seams nothing was holding

The warm wiring and the query-length cap were both written and neither was
observable. A spy pins that a search is what warms the store, and the cap is
pinned through the one input the planner's own term limit does not already
bound: a single enormous token, where the cut is what decides whether the term
matches the indexed one at all.

* fix(ai-vault-search): fence the generation against writers this process cannot see

The generation was cached in memory and moved only on this store's own writes,
and the bump itself was a read-then-write outside any transaction. Two handles
on one file is the normal case once PR 3 lands: the indexer writes in the
scanner child while an engine reads elsewhere. A reader would see that writer's
deletions while its own generation stood still, honour a stale cursor, and skip
a session; two writers could mint one generation for two snapshots.

`generation` now reads `meta` on every call, and the bump is a single
`ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE ... + 1` inside the transaction that makes the change.
That closes the crash hole the bump-on-open existed for, so opening a store no
longer invalidates anyone's cursor.

Only a change to what a read returns counts. Retiring a path the index never
held hides nothing, and the row deletes that drain a tombstone take away rows
that were already invisible: bumping there would refuse a cursor every 256 rows
and leave pagination unusable for as long as indexing ran.

Also drops redaction from the query log, following PR 2's decision to store
transcript content as written; the module it called no longer exists.

* fix(ai-vault-search): answer from a version-1 index, and keep a repaired literal whole

Two smaller findings.

An engine can be handed a connection to a version-1 file that another handle is
still answering from, and this PR is what first makes that reachable. It now
probes once for the two tables version 2 added and names what it cannot serve
on every result, instead of throwing at the first query that reaches for a
vocabulary that is not there. The route ladder simply skips its repair rung.
Which process may unlink and rebuild the index is PR 3b's decision and is not
solved here.

Typo repair re-planned the corrected query from scratch, and a corrected
spelling can read as prose even when what was typed was a literal:
`parseJsonn(the, data)` has the punctuation, `parsejson the data` does not, so
the re-plan dropped `the` as a stop word. The repaired query searched for less
than was asked and `repairedTerms` reported a body nobody typed. The re-plan is
now told what the original decided, because a repair changes spellings, not the
query's character.

`repairedTerms` is documented as the whole body the repaired plan ran, with the
index's own case-folded spelling for the terms it corrected.

* fix(ai-vault-search): make repo: and path: mean one thing in the list and the index

The engine said `repo:` and `path:` a second time, in SQL, and SQL cannot say
them. LIKE folds ASCII and nothing else, so `path:CAFÉ` missed `café`; the
engine searched `cwd_key` while the panel searches the working directory and
the transcript path, so `path:jsonl` matched every session in the panel and
none in the index; and the engine compared one path segment where the panel
compares the last two, so `repo:orca/session-search` missed. All four
reproduce in both directions.

So there is one definition now, not two that resemble each other.
`matchesAiVaultQueryOperators` moves into the shared filter module beside the
panel that already owned the semantics, the panel calls it, and the engine
applies it over the rows it retrieved. SQL keeps only what it can express
exactly: the `cwd_key` prefix range for `scopePaths`.

`parseVaultQuery` now parses through `splitAiVaultSearchQuery`, so one parser
decides what an operator is. Its existing tests pass unchanged; four degenerate
shapes do answer differently and are pinned as decisions rather than left to be
discovered.

Two consequences worth stating. The operators are conjunctive now, because that
is what the panel has always done, where the engine had been ORing within a
key. And the operator-only page walks newest sessions in bounded pages applying
the predicate, rather than taking one cut of the newest N and filtering it,
which would have answered `repo:x` with nothing on a busy index.

* docs(ai-vault-search): re-measure the query benchmark after the operator change

repo: and path: moved out of SQL, so the operator-only row measures something
different now and the note that it is a range seek was wrong. The rest of the
table is re-measured on an idle machine: the previous run's p95 column was
mostly contention, which is why conversation looked 3.4x faster at p95 rather
than the 1.7x it actually is.

Adds what this PR does not settle: which process may unlink and rebuild the
index is PR 3b's, and PR 4 is only the first thing that makes reading it
reachable.

* fix(ai-vault-search): stop reporting a search that gave up as a search that finished

The operator-only walk stops at a scan ceiling as well as at a full candidate
set, and only the first of those reached the result. A query whose one match
sat past the ceiling came back with no hits and truncated.candidates false,
which is the engine claiming there is nothing to find when what happened is
that it stopped looking. Retrieval now says why it stopped, because it is the
only layer that knows, and the count it used to return could not distinguish
the two cases.

The cursor fence stays as it is: any published read moves the generation, so an
outstanding cursor is refused, and that is what F11 asked for. What was wrong
was the claim next to the row-delete skip that pagination stays usable through
indexing. It does not, and the engine now says so. The rejection carries the
generation the cursor was minted in and the one the index is at, so a caller
can tell a moved index from a bad cursor and re-issue page one without showing
anyone an error.

The capability probe was nearly dead code, since every store opens through a
function that rebuilds a stale file. It is not dead, because two handles can be
open on one file, so the claim is corrected rather than the probe deleted. It
now runs per search: a verdict cached in the constructor is wrong in both
directions once another handle rebuilds the index.

Also says why the row-delete loop may skip the bump: those messages keep
batch_id NULL and stay in visible_messages, so what makes them unreachable is
their session's tombstone, and the read ratchet is what keeps every reader
joining the view that applies it.

* fix(ai-vault-search): restore the panel's reading of a quote that does not end a word

Unifying the two parsers changed panel behaviour on nine of twenty probed
shapes, not the three previously pinned. Six of the nine were regressions, all
from one rule: the shared parser refused a quoted span whose closing quote was
not followed by a space, so `"a b"c` and `repo:"a"b` became single terms
carrying their own quote characters, which match nothing.

The rule was justified as what stops the apostrophes in `it's a repo:orca
thing's` from swallowing the operator between them. It is not: a span only ever
opens at a token start, and the quote in `it's` is not at one. Dropping the
rule restores all six shapes to what the panel has always done and leaves that
protection intact.

Three changes remain and are kept because the old answer was worse in each: an
operator with an empty quoted value is dropped rather than filtering on `""`
and silently emptying the list, and a bare pair of quotes reads as an empty
term rather than as the two characters. Each is pinned with a test that says
which behaviour it is and why.

* fix(ai-vault-search): trim operator values, and report a query the engine had to cut

Three lows.

`repo:"  "` survived as a term and matched no label, silently emptying the
list, which is the exact defect the empty-value drop exists to prevent wearing
different clothes. Operator values are trimmed, and a whitespace-only one drops
like an empty one. The substring matcher's copy of a free-text term is trimmed
too, so `"  "` reads as the empty term already does; the span kept for FTS is
still the query verbatim.

Two caps upstream of retrieval fired silently: the planner searches at most 48
terms, and the engine cuts the query at 512 characters. A 56-term query whose
only match was the 56th came back with no hits and nothing truncated, which
claims there is nothing to find. `truncated.query` now says when either fired,
alongside the candidate and snippet flags that already did.

Every cursor refusal now carries the generation the index is at, which the
engine knows before it looks at the cursor, and the generation the cursor
claimed wherever that survived parsing. The doc says exactly when each is
present instead of leaving absence unexplained.

* refactor(ai-vault-search): read the tables the simplified index writes, and own the fence

PR 2 deleted the visibility views, the staging tables and the store's
generation, so this reads `sessions` and `messages` directly and carries the
three schema objects only a query needs — the vocabulary, the query log, and
the triggers that move the generation — as its own extension over the store's
schema.

The fence is now three triggers on `files`, because every transaction the store
opens that can change what a search returns writes that table and nothing else
does; retention's orphan drain is the one write path that touches neither, and
it is the one that must not bump. The triggers live in the file, so a writer in
another process moves the generation without knowing a reader exists.

A message row can now outlive its session row until the drain reaches it, so
the snippet read joins `sessions` and the typo repair asks for a live posting
instead of trusting the vocabulary's document count.

The engine takes a connection rather than a store: PR 2's store keeps its
connection private, and which process may open or rebuild the index file is
PR 3b's decision, not a query engine's.

* perf(ai-vault-search): price the second FTS table, and re-measure without warmup

Open decision 3. A column filter over `messages_fts` returns the identical
rowid set as `conversation_fts` — checked here per query rather than assumed —
so the table exists for latency alone. On a 105 MB corpus at both ends of the
tool-output band, the column-filtered form costs 1.16-1.42x at p95, against a
bar of 2x, so the recommendation is to delete it.

The shoot-out writes its own corpus because the answer turns on the one
property the shared generator fixes: how much of a transcript is tool output.
Half the tokens in that output are words the conversation also uses, which is
deliberately generous to the table under question.

The doc records the number that argues the other way. PR 2 priced the table at
about a quarter of the index on a corpus whose tool output is 56% of its
message text; on a tool-heavy one it is 6.7-11%, because `messages_fts` grows
with the tool text and the second table does not.

Page warmup is not re-added. The measurement behind it was on a 4 GB index,
removing it moves this corpus by less than the run-to-run spread, and a
cancellable background pass needs a lifecycle a query library does not have.

* test(ai-vault-search): pin that an append moves the generation a cursor is fenced by

* refactor(ai-vault-search): answer the conversation scope with a column filter

PR 2 deleted `conversation_fts` on the strength of this PR's shoot-out, so the
scope is a column filter over the one FTS table now. `ftsTableFor` is gone; a
scope is a pair of `scopedExpression` and `scopedWeights`, and the table name
no longer travels through the engine, the snippet builder or a hit.

The filter is parenthesised, and that is the whole of it: `{cols}: (a AND b)`
binds both terms, while `{cols}: a AND b` binds only the first and searches
tool output for the rest. A test drives an AND whose second term lives only in
tool output through both scopes.

The snippet keeps one guard, not two. Its column list and its expression were
each hiding the other's mistakes — a tool-only row was unreachable through
either — so the list is the same four columns for every scope and the scoped
expression is what makes a conversation snippet impossible to draw out of tool
output. Dropping it now leaks that row, which a test catches.

One behaviour the deleted table did not have, pinned rather than wished away:
bm25 normalises by the whole row's length and has no per-column length, so two
rows with identical prose score differently when one also holds tool output.
The rowid set is unchanged; the order within it can move.

Re-measured on the shipping schema. The conversation scope is 1.2-1.4x faster
than `all` at every rung, and the index is 57 MB rather than about 150 MB at
93% tool output, because a tool row is now capped at 3,072 characters.

* fix(ai-vault-search): repair a spelling inside the scope that will answer it

Typo repair read `messages_vocab` and probed `messages_fts` with no column
filter, so tool output decided whether a conversation-scoped query was
repaired, in both directions. A tool row carrying the misspelling made the
query look correctly spelled and suppressed the repair; a tool row carrying a
rare word became the suggestion, naming in `repairedTerms` a string from a
column the scope will never show. Both reproduced against a control index that
differs by exactly that one row.

The vocabulary proposes and a scoped count disposes. fts5vocab is per table and
cannot be column-filtered, so every decision that reaches the plan — already
spelled right, eligible, and which of two equally close candidates wins — now
comes from a `messages_fts MATCH` under the same filter retrieval uses, joined
to `sessions`.

That also takes the vocabulary's `doc` out of the ranking, which is the half of
the drain defect that belongs here: `doc` counts rows whose session a purge has
already cut loose, so reclaiming them changed which word a query was repaired
to. Candidates are ordered by term now, because the ordering decides which of
them survive the scan limit, and ties on similarity go to the more common word
counted live rather than to the vocabulary's number.

The cost is one bounded count per candidate examined, at most eight per prefix,
and only for a term the scope has no posting for at all.

* fix(ai-vault-search): fence the rows a purge reclaims after it cuts a session loose

Retention's second half deletes from `messages` alone and touched neither
`files` nor `sessions`, so it moved no generation. The argument was that those
rows answer nothing, which was true of retrieval and not of the engine: the
typo repair's dictionary is a view over the FTS b-tree and listed them, so a
drain running between two pages swapped the repair under a cursor that was
still honoured, and a search that had answered stopped answering.

The commit before this one fixes that at its source by counting live rows. It
does not make the drain provably inert — the vocabulary still decides which
candidates survive its scan limit, and reclaiming a term's last row moves where
that limit cuts — so the fence is what covers the rest.

A fourth trigger, on `messages`, with a `WHEN` clause that is the whole reason
it is affordable: a replace and a `removeFile` delete a session's rows while
its `sessions` row still stands, so neither fires, and both already bump
through `files`. Only the drain deletes a row whose session is gone.

The price is named rather than avoided: a cursor outstanding while a purge runs
is now refused once per batch, which `SessionSearchCursorError` reports as
`stale-generation` so a caller re-issues page one. The test that pinned the old
contract is replaced by one for the new one, and by one proving a replace still
does not fire it.

* fix(ai-vault-search): tell a highlight from a transcript that contains brackets

The snippet builder asked each of a row's four columns for a marked snippet and
showed the first whose text contained `[[`. Transcripts contain `[[`: a bash
`if [[ -f … ]]`, numpy's `[[1, 2], [3, 4]]`. A row matching only in tool output
was shown its user turn instead, with nothing highlighted in it, and the
any-column fallback an identifier-only match depends on was unreachable behind
the same collision.

Whether a column matched is now the difference between two renderings of the
same text: `snippet(…, MARK, MARK, …)` beside `snippet(…, '', '', …)`. Content
cannot forge a difference between those two, because it is the same content
either way.

The marks FTS5 inserts are private-use code points, rewritten to the public
`[[` and `]]` once, at the end. That is for the other decision that has to tell
a mark from content: the truncation refuses to cut between an open mark and its
close, and a transcript's own bracket used to move that cut.

* fix(ai-vault-search): cut a query on a code point and bind ids in batches

Two small ones from the review's not-routed list.

`query.slice(0, 512)` can land between the halves of a surrogate pair, leaving
a lone half that matches nothing and that a caller cannot echo back. The reader
already has `sliceAtCodeUnitLimit` for exactly this.

`loadSessions` bound one parameter per candidate id in a single statement. The
list is as long as the candidate limit, the tuning doc invites a host to raise
that limit, and SQLite's `SQLITE_MAX_VARIABLE_NUMBER` is 999 on builds older
than 3.32 — so one settings change away from `too many SQL variables`. Read in
batches of 500, leaving room for the filter's own bound values.

* docs(ai-vault-search): price the repair rung, and record what is left open

Typo repair is the one rung whose cost tracks the vocabulary rather than the
result, and it only runs for a term the scope has no posting for. Measured over
1.6 M distinct terms: 10 ms for one unknown term, 387 ms for a 480-character
query of thirty-nine of them.

The scoped-count fix made that cheaper rather than dearer, from 737 ms, because
ordering the vocabulary scan by term drops the sort `doc DESC` needed and the
counts it adds are at most eight bounded probes per prefix. A cap on unknown
terms per query is a follow-up in the split plan, with the five other items the
final review raised and did not route.

* test(ai-vault-search): make each snippet mark mechanism answer for itself

Two mechanisms landed together and hid each other: choosing a column by
comparing a marked rendering against an unmarked one, and marking with
private-use code points instead of `[[`. Either alone fixed the bracket repro,
so neither had a mutation against it — the same masking the snippet's two
column guards had a round ago.

They do different jobs, so both stay and each gets the test that needs it. A
transcript holding a private-use code point of its own is what the comparison
is for; agent output carries Nerd Font glyphs from that block. A snippet past
the character ceiling with a bracket after its last real mark is what the
private-use marks are for, because the truncation has to find that mark by
searching the text.

The two one-line fixes get honest framing rather than a mutation neither can
have. A lone surrogate is not a token character, so the planner drops it either
way and the safe cut is hygiene. And no SQLite this stack runs refuses 1,100
bound ids — 32,766 has been the floor since 3.32 — so the batch is about
owning the ceiling here rather than rescuing a reachable failure.

* refactor(ai-vault-search): keep the scope's expression with the other expressions

Making the typo repair ask its questions in the search's own scope put an
import from retrieval into it, and retrieval already owns the repair — a cycle
the native audit catches. `scopedExpression` belongs beside `phraseExpression`,
`andExpression` and `orExpression` anyway: it builds a MATCH expression, and
two callers now need it. The bm25 weights stay in retrieval, where the SQL that
uses them is.

* docs(ai-vault-search): say which delete paths fire the orphan-reclaim trigger after a replace cuts loose

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

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

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

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

* chore: drop stray @pnpm/exe lockfile entry

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jinwoo Hong d53cbed43f revert: hold mobile push feature for user testing (#19203)
Reverts 3160b54c69. Restore through a separate draft PR after user validation.
2026-09-07 00:30:21 -04:00
Jinwoo Hong 3160b54c69 feat: real background push notifications for the mobile app (#8129) (#18554)
* feat(cloud): add the mobile push gateway and its contract package (#8129)

A small open-source service that holds the APNs key and FCM credentials and
sends background push to paired phones on the desktop's behalf. Hosts
authenticate with a box challenge and HMAC proof on their pairing key, the
same shape the relay uses, so signed-in and accountless desktops share one
path. Tokens are stored; alert text is held only for the coalescing window.

The contract doc in docs/reference is the source of truth for every wire
shape. The interop test runs the real desktop answerer against a real
gateway-issued challenge so transcript drift fails in CI.

* feat(push): register phones and send background push from the desktop (#8129)

Adds the notifications.remote-push.v1 capability, the registerPush and
unregisterPush RPCs on the mobile allowlist, a gateway client with a cached
session and 401 re-auth, a durable unregister outbox, and a dispatcher that
offers every mobile notification to the gateway after the socket fan-out.
The dispatcher is fire-and-forget with one retry and drops registrations the
gateway reports dead.

Puts agentState on the mobile frame and fixes the #4375 wording so a working
agent is never announced as finished. The relay host-proof code moves onto a
shared envelope module with no behaviour change.

* feat(mobile): background push registration, receive, and settings (#8129)

Fetches the native APNs or FCM token, registers it with every paired host
that advertises the capability, and re-registers on token change. Foreground
pushes are suppressed inside handleNotification against the same seen set
the socket path uses, so nothing shows twice. Taps route by host fingerprint.
One Background notifications switch, off by default, with the disclaimer and
needs-input / finished sub-switches; hidden until a paired desktop is new
enough. Adds google-services.json and the expo-notifications plugin.

* chore(cloud): Terraform and deploy workflow for the push gateway (#8129)

Declares the Cloud Run service, runtime account, secrets, and orca_push
database behind push_gateway_enabled, true only in production. The deploy
workflow is gated like the relay's, deploys with no traffic, probes /ready
and a validate-only FCM send, then shifts traffic. It runs as the shared
production deploy account because the Cloud SQL rollout lease grant is
foundation-owned; its extra authority is three bindings on the push service.
docs/push-gateway.md carries the import commands for the resources created
by hand and the APNs key rotation procedure.

* docs: describe background notifications on the phone (#8129)

* docs: check in the mobile push contract (#8129)

Seven committed files cite it as the source of truth for every wire shape;
docs/reference is allowlisted per file, so add the entry.

* test(push): replay one checked-in host-proof vector on both sides (#8129)

Cloud Verify installs only the cloud workspace, so the gateway suite cannot
import the desktop answerer. Replace the cross-workspace import with a fixed
challenge vector generated from the contract package; the gateway fixture and
the desktop answerer each replay it and must produce the same HMAC. A
transcript drift on either side now fails in that side's own suite.

* fix(cloud): open the push gateway with invoker_iam_disabled, not an allUsers binding (#8129)

The production domain-restricted-sharing policy rejects an allUsers
run.invoker member, which the runbook anticipated. Opt the service out of
invoker IAM the way the relay director already does; the host proof is the
authentication either way.

* docs(cloud): the push.onorca.dev record exists and is hand-managed (#8129)

* fix(push): close review findings in the gateway (#8129)

- Quota reservation takes a per-host advisory lock; READ COMMITTED admitted
  a whole burst past the cap (80/80 without, 60/80 with, against Postgres 16).
- Challenge issuance no longer writes push_hosts; the row lands on proof
  verification. Stale hosts prune after 30 days. Per-IP token bucket on the
  two unauthenticated routes.
- Streaming body limit via hono bodyLimit; a chunked body bypassed the
  Content-Length check.
- registrationIds deduped in the schema; per-host device cap of 64; list
  bounded to its schema.
- Gateway-side challenge TTL is the specified 10 s, not 40 s.
- APNs stream settles on close as well as end/error.

* fix(push): close review findings in the desktop client (#8129)

- A gateway registration the registry cannot persist is enqueued for delete
  instead of leaking a live token.
- Unregister outbox re-reads pending per pass, honours enqueues during a
  drain, and retries with backoff instead of waiting for the next launch.
- Dispatcher batches registrations by 20 rather than starving the rest.
- 401 compare-and-clear; a 401 after re-auth is unreachable; refused
  handshakes and 429s are cached briefly instead of re-handshaking per event.
- Service is stopped on quit.

* fix(mobile): close review findings in push registration and receive (#8129)

- Consent generation guards a register that finishes after the switch went
  off; the host is re-queued for unregister instead of recorded live.
- Foreground pushes seed the watermark before adopting the epoch, so a push
  on a never-connected session cannot wipe a valid watermark.
- aps-environment follows the build via app.config.js; the iOS release
  workflow sets it to production. A bare plugin entry wrote development.
- Pushes the OS showed while closed are marked seen before catch-up replay.
- Token null result is not cached; failed capability probes are retried and
  never block an unregister; coalesced summaries are shown but not marked.
- Unresolvable fingerprint routes nowhere and is suppressed in foreground.
- Android channel ensured at boot; capability hook diffs clients by identity.

* fix(cloud): harden the push deploy workflow and size the gateway to the budget (#8129)

- Roll traffic back on a failed post-shift check; delete a candidate that
  never took traffic; retry the origin probe and the FCM probe.
- Assert Terraform-owned scaling instead of mutating it from the workflow.
- Build before taking the Cloud SQL rollout lease.
- Declare the database pool in Terraform (2 per instance, max 2 instances)
  and add the gateway to the connection budget; the previous default put the
  shared instance 65 connections over its ceiling.
- State plainly that the shared deploy identity's relay authority is inherited.

* fix(push): read the runtime from shared state at push startup (#8129)

Threading the runtime through launchDesktopMode put the launch module one
line over the 300-line lint budget after the rebase.

* fix(push): key the unauthenticated rate limit on the hop Cloud Run wrote (#8129)

Cloud Run appends the connecting peer to x-forwarded-for; the limiter read
the left-most value, which the caller controls, so a forged first hop earned
a fresh bucket per request.

* fix(push): close the final security review findings in the gateway and infra (#8129)

- app.onError logs only the error name and answers a bare 500; hono's default
  handler printed the whole error, and a pg error carries the row in detail
- a second per-IP bucket (240/min) runs ahead of the bearer lookup on every
  authenticated route, so forged bearers cannot spend the two-connection pool
- one live session per host: minting deletes the host's earlier row
- device-less hosts are pruned after 1 h, not 30 d; any keypair mints one free
- notificationId is printable ASCII, since it becomes the APNs collapse header
- the impersonated FCM probe token is masked in the workflow log
- prevent_destroy on the Apple secrets and the orca_push database

* fix(push): close the final security review findings in the desktop client (#8129)

- fetch never follows a redirect: a 307 would replay the host proof and the
  phone's token to whatever origin the redirect named
- registerPush params are strict and the paired identity is spread last
- a per-device bucket (10/min) bounds a phone looping registerPush, which
  costs a gateway write and a synchronous registry write each time

* fix(mobile): close the final security review findings in push receive (#8129)

- a push with no epoch can no longer claim a seq-derived dedup key, in the
  foreground or from the tray; a forged seq:N could otherwise swallow the
  real bell at that seq
- a provider-delivered push with no host catalog, or no fingerprint at all,
  stays unrouted instead of falling back to the hostId its raw data carries

* docs(push): record the ip buckets, session and host retention, and the token-ownership limit (#8129)

* fix(push): apply the schema on an untimed pool and retry statement-timeout aborts (#8129)

Ports the relay's #18722 pattern to the gateway: DDL runs on a one-connection
pool with statement_timeout 0 that is closed before the serving pool opens, and
SQLSTATE 57014 joins the bounded transaction retry path.

* fix: harden mobile push delivery and deployment recovery

* feat: align mobile notification preferences with desktop delivery

* fix: accept variable-length APNs device tokens

* fix: deduplicate native APNs and background socket notifications

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

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

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

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

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

Two blocking findings from review.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

OrcaWinandOrca Worker fba90e017c fix(windows): copy the daemon host exe verbatim instead of renaming it (MDE T1036) (#17865)
* docs(windows): document the EDR signal surface

Six Microsoft Defender for Endpoint incidents fired against Orca 1.4.192 in
eight days on one enterprise Windows 11 / Intune tenant. All six were
behavioural process-tree scoring, not signature hits; two escalated to
multi-stage incidents mapped to ATT&CK Execution and Collection.

Add a reference doc mapping each attack-technique-shaped behaviour to the code
that produces it and to why it exists: the renamed daemon image (T1036), the
per-process PEB read, encoded policy-bypassed PowerShell (T1049), caret-escaped
cmd.exe lines, and computer-use screen capture plus runtime-compiled MSIL
(T1113). Records that signing is not the gate -- reputation is signer plus
hash-keyed prevalence -- and carries the two evidence gaps the report noted.

Adds an engineer checklist, deployment guidance for admins (AV path exclusions
do not suppress EDR behavioural alerts; an MDE alert suppression rule does), and
an explicit pre-deployment warning about computer use.

* docs(windows): correct the PowerShell flag inventory and admin paths

Review corrections to the EDR posture doc.

The "encoded, policy-bypassing PowerShell" list conflated three different
shapes and was incomplete. Split it into the three tiers an EDR actually scores
differently -- bypass plus encoding, encoding alone, and bypass alone -- and add
the sites it missed, including windows-mobile-firewall.ts, which encodes a
script and launches it elevated through Start-Process -Verb RunAs. system-fonts.ts
(-Command) and desktop-script-provider-bridge.ts (-File) were listed as encoded
and are not. Notes that a raw grep under-reports, because the hook sites reach
-EncodedCommand through wrapWindowsPowerShellEncodedCommand.

Attribute the in-payload Set-ExecutionPolicy move to #16576 rather than to
#16003's measurement, which keyed on -WindowStyle Hidden + -EncodedCommand, and
record that the launcher's own tradeoff is unverified on a real box.

Admin guidance was missing two ways a suppression rule pinned to one full path
misses real activity: the .staging-<hex> sibling that exists mid-update, which
is when the update-cluster incidents fire, and the userData fallback when
LOCALAPPDATA is unset.

Also: state the measurement conditions on the process-table timings, note that
Hermes has surface even though we have no telemetry for it, note that the
uninstaller names are electron-builder-generated and in no repo file, drop a
volatile line count, and mark the per-operation computer-use shape as being
addressed by an unmerged change. Drops the duplicated AGENTS.md section, keeping
the indexed bullet.

* docs(windows): reconcile the EDR posture doc with the shipped remediation

Three claims in this doc became false once the rest of the Windows EDR set
landed, and two told engineers the opposite of what the release does.

The process-table section still described one shared snapshot taken with
`Memory | CommandLine | CreationTime`, argued that splitting the cache per
field set "would restore exactly the fan-out it exists to prevent", and
concluded the shape was unfixable because "the information is only in the
PEB". The split shipped (identity opens no handle at all), `Memory` is
retired, and the command line now comes from the kernel through
`ProcessCommandLineInformation` -- `ReadProcessMemory` is absent from the
compiled addon and a ratchet asserts it against the import table. An engineer
reading the old text would have concluded both fixes were dead ends.

The PowerShell site inventories were stale in three of four lists: the port
scan went native, every `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` + `-EncodedCommand` pair
was dropped as a measured no-op, and of the unencoded-bypass list only
`wsl-cli-scripts.ts` survives. Regenerated against the merged tree, including
the sites that reach the flag through `wrapWindowsPowerShellEncodedCommand`
and never spell it, which a raw `rg` misses.

Incident-evidence sections are left alone: they record what the tenant observed
on 1.4.192, not what the code does now.

* fix(windows): copy the daemon host exe verbatim instead of renaming it

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint flagged `orca-terminal-daemon.exe` as MITRE
T1036 (Masquerading): Orca copied its own `Orca.exe` into %LOCALAPPDATA% under a
different name, specifically so the NSIS updater's `taskkill /IM Orca.exe` could
not match, then ran it detached. Because that process is what every other flagged
action was attributed to, the name mismatch acted as a reputation multiplier on
unrelated findings.

The rename was never what made the daemon survive. In app-builder-lib 26.15.3 the
installer's FIND_PROCESS/KILL_PROCESS select processes whose image path is under
$INSTDIR; `taskkill /IM` is only the fallback for hosts where PowerShell is
missing or blocked. Survival is a property of the path, and
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Orca\daemon-host is outside $INSTDIR whatever the file is called.

Derive the host exe name from process.execPath so the copy is byte-for-byte,
name included — it keeps its Authenticode signature and carries no renamed-image
signal. On the no-PowerShell fallback the daemon is now killed with the app and
terminals cold-restore, which is the documented pre-relocation outcome the update
harness already asserts, not a regression.

The uninstall macro no longer needs a distinct name to find the daemon; it kills
the app's own image name (plus the legacy name, for hosts left by older builds).

Adds docs/reference/windows-daemon-host-relocation.md with the survival contract,
the rejected alternatives and their measured costs, and the invariants to keep.

* fix(windows): apply daemon-host relocation review corrections

Scope the uninstall taskkill to the current user with `/FI "USERNAME eq
%USERNAME%"` via cmd.exe, matching upstream's per-user KILL_PROCESS — without it
an elevated machine-wide uninstall reaches another logged-on user's session, so
the "no collateral" claim in the comment was overstated.

Comment the rmSync-before-publish: Windows refuses to delete a running image, so
a live daemon already hosted in this version's dir (same-version reinstall, or a
dev channel reusing a version) throws and materialization fails open.

Doc corrections:
- The fallback selector is the full per-user `taskkill /F /IM "<app>.exe" /FI
  "PID ne $pid" /FI "USERNAME eq %USERNAME%"`, not a bare `taskkill /IM`.
- The probe reads `Get-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process`, not the effective policy,
  and GPO writes MachinePolicy/UserPolicy — so GPO-managed hosts take the primary
  path-scoped branch. Narrow the fallback triggers accordingly.
- Drop the Authenticode sentence: the old name was equally byte-identical and
  equally signed, so a filename has no bearing on signature validity.
- Name the new update-abort path: the daemon now matches FIND_PROCESS, so on the
  fallback branch an unkillable host reaches the retry loop's MessageBox /SD
  IDCANCEL and Quits, aborting a silent update.
- Correct the customCheckAppRunning rejection. It is ~6 lines, not a rewrite; it
  is wrong because forcing the PowerShell branch where PowerShell is absent makes
  FIND/KILL silently no-op and leaves the real app running with files in use.
- Bound the win honestly: OriginalFilename is empty on the shipped binary, so the
  strongest T1036 indicator never fired, and the residual copy-and-run-detached
  shape still maps to T1036.005.

Reconcile docs/reference/windows-edr-posture.md, which documents the rename as a
live finding and would otherwise contradict this change. Content-only edit:
markdown under docs/reference/ is not oxfmt-formatted as a matter of practice and
nothing in CI gates it, so the file is left consistent with its neighbours.

* fix(windows): expand USERNAME in NSIS instead of spawning cmd.exe

The uninstall macro routed both taskkills through `"$SYSDIR\cmd.exe" /C` purely
so `%USERNAME%` would expand — two extra interpreter spawns on the uninstall
path, in a change whose whole point is not adding scored behaviour, and the
exact `cmd.exe /c` shape the new AGENTS.md EDR bullet warns about. NSIS reads
the variable itself with ReadEnvStr, so the spawns buy nothing.

Verified on Windows 11 that the generated command line does what the filter is
there for: a copy of cmd.exe running as orca-nonexistent-probe.exe (pid 34244)
was terminated by `taskkill /F /IM "orca-nonexistent-probe.exe" /FI "USERNAME eq
<user>"` — SUCCESS, exit 0, process gone.

Guarded on an empty USERNAME because the degenerate case is silent: taskkill
rejects an empty filter value outright ("The search filter cannot be
recognized") and kills nothing, which would leave exactly the orphaned daemon
this macro exists to reap. `*` is rejected as a filter value too, so there is no
branchless spelling. With no USERNAME to scope by it kills unfiltered, as the
macro did before the filter was added. Stack stays balanced: three pushes, two
nsExec pops, three restores.

Also strike the last stale row in windows-edr-posture.md's remediation table.
"Copying our own image under a different name" read as outstanding work; it is
done by this change, so the row now points at the relocation doc. Same class of
staleness as the section reconciled in the previous commit, and git would not
have flagged it either.

* fix(windows): port the daemon-host uninstall sweep into the live NSIS include

The uninstall macro this branch rewrote lived in config/nsis/daemon-host-uninstall.nsh,
which main no longer includes: #17906 consolidated every Windows installer hook into
config/nsis/orca-installer-hooks.nsh because electron-builder accepts exactly one
`nsis.include`. Merged as-is, the rewritten macro would have been dead code while the
shipped uninstaller kept running main's stale sweep — `taskkill /F /IM
orca-terminal-daemon.exe`, which matches nothing now that the relocated host is a
verbatim Orca.exe copy. The RMDir that follows then cannot delete the running image, so
a live orphaned daemon and its ~224 MB tree would survive every uninstall.

Ported into the live include: the ${APP_EXECUTABLE_FILENAME} kill, the USERNAME filter
that keeps an elevated machine-wide uninstall out of another logged-on user's session,
and the register save/restore around both. The legacy orca-terminal-daemon.exe kill
stays so hosts left by older builds are still reaped.

The ratchet that was meant to catch exactly this pinned only the legacy image name,
which main's stale macro already satisfied, so it passed both ways. It now asserts the
app-exe kill and the USERNAME filter, against comment-stripped script — the prose above
the macro names both image names, so a toContain over the raw file proves nothing.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 2c4989ea94 docs(windows): document the EDR signal surface (#17856)
* docs(windows): document the EDR signal surface

Six Microsoft Defender for Endpoint incidents fired against Orca 1.4.192 in
eight days on one enterprise Windows 11 / Intune tenant. All six were
behavioural process-tree scoring, not signature hits; two escalated to
multi-stage incidents mapped to ATT&CK Execution and Collection.

Add a reference doc mapping each attack-technique-shaped behaviour to the code
that produces it and to why it exists: the renamed daemon image (T1036), the
per-process PEB read, encoded policy-bypassed PowerShell (T1049), caret-escaped
cmd.exe lines, and computer-use screen capture plus runtime-compiled MSIL
(T1113). Records that signing is not the gate -- reputation is signer plus
hash-keyed prevalence -- and carries the two evidence gaps the report noted.

Adds an engineer checklist, deployment guidance for admins (AV path exclusions
do not suppress EDR behavioural alerts; an MDE alert suppression rule does), and
an explicit pre-deployment warning about computer use.

* docs(windows): correct the PowerShell flag inventory and admin paths

Review corrections to the EDR posture doc.

The "encoded, policy-bypassing PowerShell" list conflated three different
shapes and was incomplete. Split it into the three tiers an EDR actually scores
differently -- bypass plus encoding, encoding alone, and bypass alone -- and add
the sites it missed, including windows-mobile-firewall.ts, which encodes a
script and launches it elevated through Start-Process -Verb RunAs. system-fonts.ts
(-Command) and desktop-script-provider-bridge.ts (-File) were listed as encoded
and are not. Notes that a raw grep under-reports, because the hook sites reach
-EncodedCommand through wrapWindowsPowerShellEncodedCommand.

Attribute the in-payload Set-ExecutionPolicy move to #16576 rather than to
#16003's measurement, which keyed on -WindowStyle Hidden + -EncodedCommand, and
record that the launcher's own tradeoff is unverified on a real box.

Admin guidance was missing two ways a suppression rule pinned to one full path
misses real activity: the .staging-<hex> sibling that exists mid-update, which
is when the update-cluster incidents fire, and the userData fallback when
LOCALAPPDATA is unset.

Also: state the measurement conditions on the process-table timings, note that
Hermes has surface even though we have no telemetry for it, note that the
uninstaller names are electron-builder-generated and in no repo file, drop a
volatile line count, and mark the per-operation computer-use shape as being
addressed by an unmerged change. Drops the duplicated AGENTS.md section, keeping
the indexed bullet.

* docs(windows): reconcile the EDR posture doc with the shipped remediation

Three claims in this doc became false once the rest of the Windows EDR set
landed, and two told engineers the opposite of what the release does.

The process-table section still described one shared snapshot taken with
`Memory | CommandLine | CreationTime`, argued that splitting the cache per
field set "would restore exactly the fan-out it exists to prevent", and
concluded the shape was unfixable because "the information is only in the
PEB". The split shipped (identity opens no handle at all), `Memory` is
retired, and the command line now comes from the kernel through
`ProcessCommandLineInformation` -- `ReadProcessMemory` is absent from the
compiled addon and a ratchet asserts it against the import table. An engineer
reading the old text would have concluded both fixes were dead ends.

The PowerShell site inventories were stale in three of four lists: the port
scan went native, every `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` + `-EncodedCommand` pair
was dropped as a measured no-op, and of the unencoded-bypass list only
`wsl-cli-scripts.ts` survives. Regenerated against the merged tree, including
the sites that reach the flag through `wrapWindowsPowerShellEncodedCommand`
and never spell it, which a raw `rg` misses.

Incident-evidence sections are left alone: they record what the tenant observed
on 1.4.192, not what the code does now.

Neil 58a52a8ce3 test(wsl): guard probes that report failure as a negative answer (#17352)
* test(wsl): guard probes that report failure as a negative answer

A WSL probe that cannot reach its distro returns the same value as one
that asked and got "no". Downstream nothing can tell them apart, so a
distro that was busy for a second reports no git, or no agent sessions,
until relaunch — sticky, silent, and identical to the real thing.

That has shipped three times: preflight CLI probes, the glab auth
fallback (#8941), and listRunningWslDistrosAsync failing closed with no
last-known-good while polled every 2s (PR #17072).

Scan the WSL and preflight probe modules for the shape and hold the
current set in an allowlist that only shrinks. Scoped deliberately: the
same shape appears ~850 times across src/ and is usually correct,
because for most callers a failure really does mean absent. It is only
dangerous where the answer describes a distro.

The guard cannot see the dangerous part — whether the value is later
cached or gates discovery is dataflow, not syntax. It stops a new
swallow site appearing here without someone saying why it is safe to
pin, which is the review that was missing all three times.

* test(wsl): make ratchet failures actionable

A red build must say what to do. Name the offending files, say the
allowlist is where a safe case goes, and — for a stale entry — say the
change is fine and the list just needs to shrink.

* docs(wsl): track the probe failure-semantics reference

docs/** is gitignored with an explicit allowlist, so the reference the
ratchet points contributors to was silently left out of the branch. A
guard whose error message cites a doc that is not in the repo is worse
than no doc.

* test(wsl): catch a swallow whose reason trails the return

The guard only tolerated comments before `return`, so
`return false // ...` slipped past — including the exact snippet the
doc and the test's own docstring use as the canonical example. The doc
asks authors to write down why a swallow is safe, and the natural place
for that sentence is trailing the return, so following the guidance
defeated the guard.

Verified against both shapes: trailing comment and comment on the line
after.

Neilandinnocarpe f400f8fd5f fix(macos): opt out of press-and-hold so held keys repeat (#14746) (#15589)
* fix(macos): opt out of press-and-hold so held keys repeat (#14746)

macOS routes press-and-hold to the accent picker unless an app sets
ApplePressAndHoldEnabled=false for its own bundle, so holding j in vim
inserted one character instead of repeating. Orca never set it.

Written at most once, and never over an explicit value: `defaults read`
is domain-scoped and exits 1 when the key is absent, which is the only
way to tell "unset" from a deliberate false — Electron's
systemPreferences.getUserDefault reports false for both. A recorded
decision in userData keeps a later launch from re-clobbering a user who
deletes the key to get the accent picker back.

* docs(macos): record the revert hazard and CI's macOS test gap

Two things a reader of this module cannot otherwise know.

A revert leaves the key written in every user's domain forever. AppKit reads
the plist, not this file, so removing the code alone keeps press-and-hold
disabled for everyone who ran an affected build. The sibling period-substitution
module carries the same warning because that fix was already lost once this way.

And the real-binary test file that pins the defaults(1) exit-code semantics this
design rests on never runs in CI: the e2e workflow and both unit-test jobs are
ubuntu and windows, and the only macOS runners in the repo are build and
packaging jobs that run no tests. Those six tests plus the real-bundle e2e case
pass on a developer Mac and execute zero times in a green PR, so the comment
should not imply enforcement that is not there.

Refs #14746

* feat(macos): let users turn the accent menu back on (#14746)

Orca disables press-and-hold for its own preferences domain so held keys
repeat. That is the right default, but the way back was a `defaults write`
buried in a source comment: nothing in docs/ or the README mentioned it, and
the preference is per-application, so it silently takes the accent picker
away from the Markdown editor and every other text field too.

Terminal -> Advanced now carries a "Character Accent Menu" switch, macOS and
desktop only. A web client cannot write a macOS preference for the machine the
user is looking at, so the control and its search-index entry are both gated on
that, not on the client's platform alone.

Precedence, which is the part that is easy to get wrong: the setting is
`undefined` until the user touches it, which is what keeps a hand-run `defaults
write` in charge for everyone who never opens the toggle. Once used, Orca owns
the key and writes exactly what the switch asks for -- `ApplePressAndHoldEnabled`
*is* the accent-menu switch, so it maps straight through with no inversion. The
choice is compared against `appliedSetting` in the existing decision record
rather than against the domain, so a `defaults write` made *after* using the
toggle is still the newer choice and survives the next launch. Re-asserting the
value every launch would have reintroduced the clobbering the record exists to
prevent.

The write lands for the next launch, since AppKit reads the preference as the
process starts, so the toggle shows the same restart banner the window-blur
setting uses. That banner is now a shared component, keeping its original
translation keys.

docs/reference/macos-press-and-hold.md records the precedence rules, the
`defaults read` rationale, the revert hazard, and the fact that none of this
executes in CI: every macOS job builds or packages and runs no tests, so the
real-binary and e2e coverage here passes only on a developer Mac.

* docs(macos): stop asserting when AppKit re-reads the press-and-hold key

Five places stated "AppKit reads the preference as the process starts" as
fact. That is the reason given for requiring a relaunch, and it is not
something this change ever measured.

Evidence points the other way: terminal emulators that register this key
after their process has started get key repeat in that same launch, which a
read-once-at-startup model cannot explain.

The relaunch requirement itself still looks right, but for a different and
verifiable reason: the write goes out through a separate `defaults` process,
so this app's own cached copy need not observe it. That is what the comments
now say, with the AppKit question left open rather than answered.

Refs #14746

* docs(macos): correct the startup comment's launch-timing claim

The comment said this call site is "the last point that can still matter for
this launch", which contradicts the rest of the module: the write is assumed
to land for the next launch because it goes out through a separate `defaults`
process. Reported on the PR by @innocarpe, who also supplied the replacement
wording.

* refactor(macos): probe press-and-hold through the shared spawn chokepoint

`src/shared/child-process/child-process-import-boundary.test.ts` forbids a
direct `node:child_process` import outside its allowlist, and the allowlist only
shrinks — so this module moves to `runProcessSync`, which exists for callers
that genuinely cannot await. This one runs before `app.whenReady()`.

`runProcessSync` returns a non-zero exit instead of throwing it, so the
three-way read decision is re-expressed against `ProcessResult`: exit 0 is an
explicit value, exit 1 is a missing key, and a timeout, a signal kill, any other
exit, or a child that never started all stay 'unknown'. The throw path is now
inside `interpretDefaultsRead` so a spawn failure is reachable from a test
rather than hidden in an untested catch, and the write checks the exit code —
a refused `defaults write` no longer looks like success.

Both boundary-test failures were the same import: with it gone the offender
count returns to 155, so no ratchet baseline is bumped.

This reverts commit cc5669f306.

Neil 5631aa00dd feat(orcad): items 2–7 — degradation, natives, daemon, ops, deploy (#16398)
* fix(ports): stop joining an undefined resourcesPath on a non-Electron host

`resolveWorkerEntryPath` branched on `isPackaged` alone and joined
`process.resourcesPath`. orcad reports `isPackaged` true — correctly, it is a
production build, and ~15 consumers read it that way to gate HTTPS-only skill
downloads and the real CLI name — but `process.resourcesPath` is Electron-only
and `undefined` under plain Node.

So the packaged branch threw
`TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string`
where a clean "worker unavailable" was the honest outcome. The type said
`resourcesPath: string`, which is how it went unnoticed; it is now
`string | undefined`, so the compiler carries the fact.

A host with no Electron resources tree has no asar to look in, so it falls back
to the module directory and lets the caller report a missing worker.

Found by the item 1 agent while auditing the same `isPackaged` defect class in
the watcher. Verified in both directions: reverting the guard reproduces the
TypeError.

* feat(orcad): prove node-pty loads before anything requires it

Of the two ways node-pty fails, only one is catchable. A missing module throws
MODULE_NOT_FOUND. A module built against the wrong libc or Node ABI is refused by
the dynamic loader, and in the worst case takes the process down before any handler
exists — that is #9902, which crashed the desktop app on Ubuntu 20.04 before a
window appeared. There was no libc or ABI precondition anywhere in the tree.

So orcad now proves the load in a CHILD process, from main.ts, before anything
requires node-pty. Whatever the child does — throw, abort, die on a signal — is data
rather than our own death, and the operator gets a sentence naming the host's libc,
Node ABI and prebuild slot plus the command to run. Proven-unloadable exits 78
(EX_CONFIG), so a supervisor does not restart an unequippable host forever. A probe
that never answered is unverifiable, not blocked: refusing to boot on an inconclusive
signal would take down hosts that work.

The child dlopens the file node-pty would have chosen, before requiring the package.
node-pty's loader walks several directories and rethrows only the LAST error, so a
refused binary reads as "Cannot find module ./prebuilds/..." — which sends the
operator to install a module that is already there. It also reports through stdout:
node echoes the whole -e source above a stack trace, and matching tokens against
stderr made the probe's own source text answer for the verdict.

Verdicts reach clients as a terminal_unavailable degradation alongside the existing
browser_unavailable one, through the same cause-registry shape. degradations[].code
is now an open vocabulary; clients already render only `message`.

Prebuilds are compiled from PATCHED sources — the patch IS the glibc-floor fix, so an
upstream tarball reproduces #9902 — into linux-{x64,arm64}-{glibc,musl} and
darwin-{x64,arm64} slots. libc is in the slot name because node-pty's loader falls
back to prebuilds/<platform>-<arch> and cannot tell glibc from musl. orcad installs
the matching slot at boot, so a host with no compiler serves terminals.

The relay's five pure toolchain-diagnosis functions moved to a transport-free module
so the Node bundle can reuse them without dragging ssh2 in behind them; the relay
keeps its API by re-export. macOS gets `xcode-select --install` rather than the
cross-distro apt/dnf/pacman/apk menu, every line of which is wrong there.

* test(orcad): pin the node-pty precondition to ground truth, not a prepared host

CI's test shard runs `vitest` directly, so `ensure-native-runtime --runtime=node`
never prepares node-pty for the Node ABI — `degraded` is the correct verdict
there, and asserting 'ok' encoded an environment the shard does not have.

Asserting whatever it returned would be vacuous, so the expectation is now
derived from an independent require() of node-pty. Verified it still bites:
forcing the precondition to always report 'ok' fails the suite.

* feat(orcad): run the terminal daemon, and the ops contract around it

orcad declared `canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys: () => false` because it did not
run the terminal daemon, so every restart, update and rollback SIGKILLed every
running terminal — on the host whose selling point is that work survives the
client going away. That is the one property `ssh-execution-boundary.md`
recommends the peer model for.

Item 4 — the daemon:

- Port the launch path off electron: `daemon-init.ts`,
  `daemon-host-relocation.ts` and `observability/logs-directory.ts` now read
  the `AppEnvironment` port. Relocation additionally asks whether the app root
  is an asar archive rather than whether the build is packaged, so a Node host
  answering `isPackaged() === true` no longer walks into an Electron-only
  NSIS-escape path (same precedent as `parcel-watcher-entry-path.ts`).
- `build-orcad.mjs` emits `daemon-entry.js` beside `orcad.js`, scans the
  forked children's metafiles for electron/node:sqlite, and load-checks the
  child under plain Node.
- orcad spawns and adopts the daemon; shutdown disconnects and never kills it.
  `canRecoverPersistentLocalPtys` now reads the live provider and is false
  under degraded routing, where fresh terminals would die with the process.

Item 3 — the ops contract (docs/reference/orcad-operations.md):

- Bind policy: `--bind`, default loopback, pinned so neither `orca serve`'s
  wide default nor the connected-device widen can override it, and so a paired
  client cannot rebind the listener from outside.
- Instance lock on the data root before profile load, scoped to the runtime
  role so it never refuses a restart that a live daemon makes worthwhile.
- Supervision: exit codes a supervisor can act on (78 = do not retry),
  second-signal escalation, a shutdown deadline, and crash-loop containment on
  daemon respawn.
- Health in the readiness payload: build hash, Node ABI, and a PTY self-test
  that spans both processes — the daemon spawns a real PTY in its own process
  and the verdict crosses its socket.

Both bundle load-checks now assert on exit codes: these bundles are minified
onto one line, so Node's uncaught-exception report echoes every string literal
in the bundle and the previous message match passed against a bundle that
never loaded.

* feat(orcad): deploy, activate and roll back a versioned orcad install

Plan items 6 and 7 from docs/design/shipping-orcad.html.

Install reuses the relay's transaction verbatim — per-version lock, staged
SFTP write, .install-complete sentinel, stale-lock recovery — under a
parameterized namespace, so orcad-<v>/ sits beside relay-<v>/ permanently
(§06). Parameterizing GC is the trap that creates: each model now collects
only its own directories, enforced twice (prefix-scoped remote listing plus
a local ownership re-check), and a client picks its model from how the host
is registered, never from what it finds on disk.

Activation is separate from installation, because a versioned directory
selects nothing. A candidate is launched, publishes orca_server_ready, and
only becomes active if its cross-process health payload passes: right build
hash, listening, daemon live, PTY self-test green. A rejected candidate is
stopped and the incumbent restarted, so a careful deploy cannot cause the
outage it was being careful about.

Update and rollback are shaped by the daemon. An update restarts orcad, the
daemon outlives it, and the surviving daemon was forked from the outgoing
bundle — so live terminals defer the update rather than proceed, and GC pins
the active version, the rollback target and the live daemon's bundle. Orca's
persisted state carries no schema version, so rollback restores a
pre-activation snapshot rather than trusting backward-readability; the point
past which it is unsafe is the first terminal created after activation,
which the snapshot cannot describe and the surviving daemon still owns.

Running the generated shell for real found two bugs the text assertions
missed: tar members re-quoted inside a shell variable captured nothing, and
kill -0 reports a zombie as alive.

* test(orcad): assert the precondition is self-consistent, not environment-shaped

The real-host case cannot predict a status: CI's shard runs vitest directly, so
node-pty is never built for the Node ABI and 'degraded' is correct there, while a
prepared checkout gives 'ok'.

The previous attempt used require('node-pty') as ground truth, which resolves the
JS wrapper while the native binding loads lazily — it proved strictly less than
the precondition checks, and failed CI for exactly that reason.

What is invariant on a host with node-pty installed: never 'blocked', and never a
degraded verdict carrying an unestablished reason. The injected-input tests keep
the logic coverage.

* fix(orcad): drop an eslint-disable the rule no longer needs

* test(orcad): separate slot placement from the load verdict

Both remaining CI failures were the same shape: tests reaching into node_modules
for a pty.node that only exists after `ensure-native-runtime --runtime=node`,
which CI's shard never runs because it invokes vitest directly.

Slot *placement* is the logic worth checking on every host, so it now uses a
synthetic payload and asserts the verdict stays honest about not loading. The
three assertions that genuinely need a Node-ABI binding are gated on it existing.

Verified: breaking slot installation fails both placement tests; with the real
pty.node hidden the file is 17 passed / 3 skipped instead of ENOENT.

* test(orcad): gate the load-dependent cases on a real load, not on the file existing

CI ships a pty.node built for Electron's ABI, so existsSync was true while require
still failed — the gate ran exactly the tests that host can never satisfy. It now
probes the binding in a child process, so a bad one cannot take the runner down.

The self-consistency assertion also allowed too little: 'blocked' is the honest
verdict for a corrupt binding, alongside 'ok' on a prepared host and 'degraded' on
an unprepared one. What stays invariant is that anything other than 'ok' names an
established cause, so a terminal is never declined for a reason nobody worked out.

Verified against all three host states: prepared (19 passed), unprepared, and a
corrupt binding (17 passed / 3 skipped, no failures).

* test(orcad): gate on the whole premise — binding AND spawn-helper

CI has a loadable pty.node but no spawn-helper, and a slot without the helper is
legitimately 'degraded'. So the previous gate let a test run whose premise ('a
complete slot yields ok') that host cannot satisfy.

Verified in both states: with the helper present 19 pass; with it removed the
load-dependent cases skip (17 passed / 3 skipped) instead of failing.

* fix(orcad): preserve degradation types after rebase
