Neil e1599c94b8 perf(terminals): let idle panes share one process-table capture instead of forking their own (#18742)
* perf(terminals): let idle panes share one process-table capture instead of forking their own

Every visible local pane runs an agent-completion cadence that resolves through
`getStrictProcessTableSnapshot`, and the inspection queue already collapses every
shared-observation task enqueued in the same tick onto a single whole-host `ps`. Independent
±10% jitter per pane defeated that: the jitter was re-rolled on each reschedule, so panes
drifted permanently apart, each landing in its own tick and each missing the snapshot's 500 ms
TTL. Four idle panes cost four captures where one would have served all of them.

Idle panes now aim at a deadline grid anchored at the epoch. The pull-forward is clamped to the
snapshot TTL, so no interval is ever longer than its tier and none is more than 500 ms shorter:
a pane off the grid walks onto it over at most `tier / TTL` steps, costs at most one extra
inspection in total, and no inspection is ever delayed.

Scoped deliberately. A pane with a foreground agent, or one still inside the 10 s post-activity
hot window, keeps its exact interval and its own phase, so the bounded hot cadence is unchanged.
The error-backoff path keeps its jitter, where spreading retries across panes is the point.

Measured by `pnpm bench:agent-inspection-cadence` — whole-host `ps` captures over 60 s at the
2 s idle tier, median of 21 rounds:

| visible panes | before | after | reduction |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 29 | 29 | 0% |
| 2 | 42 | 30 | 29% |
| 4 | 62 | 31 | 50% |
| 8 | 82 | 32 | 61% |

`process-table-snapshot-reader.ts` measures the `command=` column at 1.15 s of work for 1,948
processes, so these are captures a quiet app was paying for continuously.

All 4,202 existing terminal-pane tests pass unchanged, including the no-evidence cadence suite
that pins the relaxed and hot intervals.

* test(terminals): report n/a instead of dividing by a zero baseline in the cadence benchmark

A window shorter than one cadence tier leaves the baseline capture count at zero, and the
reduction line then divided by it and printed a meaningless percentage. Reported by CodeRabbit
on #18742.

Neil 36a826ff48 fix(ssh): compile node-pty from the host's own Node headers instead of nodejs.org (STA-6674) (#18774)
* fix(ssh): compile node-pty from the host's own Node headers instead of nodejs.org

STA-6674: a Linux SSH host that cannot reach nodejs.org never came up. node-pty
ships no Linux prebuild, so npm hands it to node-gyp, and node-gyp's default is
to download node-v<ver>-headers.tar.gz before configuring. The host refused
that connection (ECONNREFUSED) and the relay deploy failed inside npm install,
which the UI showed only as "Disconnected".

Every official Node build and every version manager that unpacks one already
has those exact headers at <prefix>/include/node. Export node-gyp's nodedir to
that prefix, on every command that can compile node-pty (npm install, npm
rebuild, the cloexec patch's rebuild), when the shipped node_version.h matches
the running Node. Both npm_config_nodedir (node-gyp 10, Node 20) and
npm_package_config_node_gyp_nodedir (node-gyp >= 11.4) are set so every Node
the relay runs on reads it. A version mismatch leaves it unset, which is the
existing behaviour.

When a host is both header-less and offline, name that in the deploy error
instead of forty lines of gyp http output, with the two remedies.

Reproduced and verified with a Docker sshd whose nodejs.org resolves to
127.0.0.1, on node:24.12.0 (the user's version), node:20 and node:26:
ssh-relay-offline-node-headers.docker.test.ts.

* fix(ssh): fail loudly when node-gyp ignores the exported Node headers dir

The headers export relies on npm forwarding npm_config_nodedir /
npm_package_config_node_gyp_nodedir into lifecycle scripts. If a future npm
drops that, node-gyp would silently fall back to downloading, and an offline
host would fail with the same "install an official Node" diagnosis -- wrong,
since the host did ship headers.

The prefix now echoes ORCA-NODE-HEADERS:<dir|none> into the command's output
before the compile, and the download-failure diagnosis reads it back: an
exported dir plus a download attempt is reported as an Orca defect naming
the dir, not as a host problem. Nothing else changes when it works.

* fix(ssh): address review on the relay node-headers export

- Unset any inherited npm_config_nodedir / npm_package_config_node_gyp_nodedir
  before the conditional export, so a stale header dir from the remote profile
  cannot bypass the version check and build a wrong-ABI binding (CodeRabbit).
- Require `gyp ERR! configure error` and a real network errno in the
  headers-download matcher; node-gyp's fetch client logs retried attempts it
  recovers from, and a FetchError can be a non-2xx mirror answer (pullfrog).
- Say "no local headers matching its own version", since the probe also
  rejects a version mismatch, not only absent headers (CodeRabbit).
- Log the same diagnosis from the non-fatal `npm rebuild` fallback (CodeRabbit).
- Docker test waits for the SSH banner on the mapped port before connecting
  instead of trusting `docker run -d` (CodeRabbit).

* fix(ssh): read the node-headers marker from the host output, not the quoted command

execCommand rejects with `Command "<command>" failed (exit N): <output>`, and
<command> quotes the whole prefix, marker echo included. The first-match
parser hit that copy and returned `${ORCA_NODE_HEADERS_DIR:-none}"; ...` as a
"dir", so every real no-headers failure was misreported as an Orca defect
(measured by an independent Docker exercise of 609685e). Strip the exec-
failure head before scanning; keep first-match so gyp output cannot spoof it.

The unit fixture hid this by rejecting with `Command "npm install" failed`,
a string production never builds. It now rejects from the command the mock
actually received, and the Docker test gains a no-headers failure case on the
same offline fixture that asserts the host-remedy message.

Also unset NPM_CONFIG_NODEDIR (npm accepts either case), and narrow the claim:
a ~/.npmrc nodedir= is not overridable from the env (measured: empty env
override is ignored on npm 10 and 11), so it stays the operator's setting.
Copy the node binary via fs in the unit test so a failed copy fails the test.

* docs(ssh): state the header-mismatch refusal as a conservative default, not an observed crash

* docs(ssh): note why the exec-failure head regex may match lazily

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 172aa1ac35 feat(native-chat): render agent file edits as inline diff cards (#18765)
* feat(native-chat): render agent file edits as inline diff cards

An agent's file edit rendered as a flat list of every removed line followed
by every added line, with no interleaving, no file header, and no line
numbers. A Codex edit on the transcript lane rendered no diff at all: the
patch arrives wrapped in the source string of its `exec` tool, which matched
none of the shapes the old parser looked for.

Adds one diff model shared by every edit shape the supported agents produce:

- `native-chat-edit-lcs` interleaves a snippet pair, falling back to a linear
  prefix/suffix diff above the quadratic guard.
- `native-chat-unified-patch` keeps the `@@` ranges as per-row line numbers
  instead of parsing them into display text and discarding them.
- `native-chat-begin-patch` recovers the `*** Begin Patch` envelope from the
  JavaScript string literal Codex sends it in, so that lane renders a diff.
- `native-chat-edit-normalize` folds all of it into one model, including the
  two Codex shapes that do not look like diffs: add and delete arrive as raw
  file content, and a rename is appended to the body as prose.

Claude reports an edit as a snippet pair, which cannot locate the change in
the file, so its result's resolved hunks are now carried on the tool-result
block and preferred when present. The field is optional, so an older client
reading a newer journal simply drops it. Where no resolved ranges exist the
gutter stays blank rather than showing a snippet-relative number, which would
read as a file position.

The card renders the verb from the observed change kind rather than the tool
name, pairs an edit's call and result into a single row, and takes its row and
gutter grounds from new tokens derived from the git status palette, replacing
the hardcoded Tailwind tints the old view used.

Desktop only; mobile chat keeps its existing renderer and parser untouched.

* fix(native-chat): stop the diff card from asserting an edit it cannot prove

Every defect here shares one failure mode: the card stated something the
input did not support, and stated it confidently.

Parsing:

- A hunk no longer ends on `--- `, `+++ ` or `\ No newline`. The first two
  are what a removed `-- comment` (SQL/Lua/Haskell) looks like once the
  marker is prepended, so they truncated the whole diff; the no-newline
  marker is emitted mid-hunk, between the removed old last line and the
  added new one. Real headers are recognised through `isFileHeaderPair`,
  lifted out of `native-chat-diff` so the rule has one home.
- A `*** Begin Patch` envelope with no `*** End Patch` is declined. With no
  closing marker `indexOf` returned -1 and the slice swallowed the rest of
  the command line, so `… +y" && echo ok` rendered as file content the
  agent never wrote.
- One splitter serves every shape, so a CRLF patch no longer keeps a `\r`
  on each row, in the phantom-row guard, or in the clipboard. It also
  tests for the trailing newline on the clipped body: on the un-clipped
  string that test deleted a real line whenever the slice fired.
- Truncation is carried from each slice site to the card, so content past
  the character cap can no longer render as a complete unchanged file with
  no "Diff truncated" footer.

Attribution:

- A failed or still-running edit renders no card. It kept the generic tool
  view, whose result block carries the provider's own error — the card had
  been drawing "Edited file +1 −1" from the input while hiding the red
  error body, which is worse than what preceded this feature.
- The result-as-patch fallback is scoped to `Diff`, the one tool whose call
  carries only a path. Any command tool's output could previously be read
  as a patch, so `git diff` through `exec` was reclassified as an edit of a
  file named "file" and its command line disappeared with the result.
- A whole-content write claims a creation only on evidence — the editor
  tool's own `create` command, or the provider reporting one. Overwriting a
  large existing file had always read as "Added file".
- `MultiEdit` reads its `edits[]`, and `NotebookEdit` leaves the set: it
  carries only the new cell source. Both previously fell through to the old
  renderer, so one turn could show two diff presentations at once.
- Snippet-relative numbers are dropped at the model layer rather than
  hidden by a zero-width gutter, which the flex min-width floor re-exposed
  on top of the marker and the first characters of the row.

The run memoizes its edit model, so a collapsed group no longer re-diffs on
every streaming token, and the card's copy button says what it copies.

* fix(native-chat): keep every edited file, and mark where the diff breaks

A run of hunks was concatenated into one flat row list, so the gutter jumped
from one region of the file to a distant one with nothing between them and
the reader saw two unrelated spans as one continuous block. Rows now carry
an explicit break: it holds no text and no position, counts toward neither
side of the change, is trimmed from the end where it would mark nothing, and
is left out of the copied text.

The patch envelope lost files, and lost them silently:

- An update chunk may carry no hunk header at all. The parser required one,
  returned nothing, and the caller dropped that file from a multi-file
  envelope with nothing to say it had gone. A header-less body now opens as
  a hunk of unknown position, and whether the rows are locatable is read off
  the rows themselves rather than off the header.
- The envelope's own control lines rendered as content rows in the card.
- A delete names its file and carries no body, which rendered as a card with
  an empty expandable row list. The header states the change and offers no
  disclosure behind it.
- The header patterns are anchored and `.` excludes a carriage return, so a
  CRLF envelope matched no header at all and produced no card whatsoever.
  The envelope is split on both newline forms once, up front, rather than
  each pattern having to tolerate the extra character.

A tool call's argument payload arrives as a string holding JSON. It was
passed along undecoded, which is the only reason this code carried a
hand-rolled string-literal unescaper. It is decoded once at the transcript
decoder now — defensively, since the transcript is untrusted, so anything
that is not a JSON object is left exactly as it arrived — and the unescaper
is gone. Recovering the envelope no longer guesses at argument names either:
it looks at the values, including the words of an argument vector, which is
where the envelope actually sits once the payload is decoded.

* fix(native-chat): only read a patch where a patch was actually run

Recovering the patch envelope from any value of a tool's payload meant a
write's own content was searched for one. A file documenting the patch
format rendered a card for the file its example names, while the file
actually written never appeared at all — the call and its result were
consumed by that card, so nothing was left to correct it. Two changes: the
envelope is recovered only for the tools that run one, never for a file
edit whose payload is content; and only patch- or command-bearing arguments
are searched, still including the words of an argument vector, which is
where the envelope sits when a command tool applies it.

The call payload is decoded back where it is needed rather than at the
transcript decoder. Decoding it there changed the shape every reader of a
tool's input sees, including the surface that recognises a question payload
from any tool by shape alone: a tool whose arguments happened to carry that
shape raised a question card pinned over the composer. That decode now
happens inside the envelope recovery, the one consumer that needs the
structure.

A card also states an edit as made, so it now takes evidence that it landed
— the provider reporting the call complete, or a result that is not an
error. A turn that stopped before its call was answered reported an edit
that may never have applied. This replaces the working-turn heuristic in the
view, so the rule lives in one place.

Two files still went missing. A multi-file patch has no per-file split, so
it rendered as one card under the first file's name, with the later files'
rows and their gutter numbers beneath it — a card asserting a false file
position. Patch text is now split on its file boundaries, one card per file,
each named by its own header, with a rename and a `/dev/null` side read from
the same headers. And an envelope section that names a file but carries no
body was dropped rather than reported, which is the same silent loss the
delete case was fixed for.

* fix(native-chat): type the patch-section scan and its test helper call

The section under construction was only ever assigned inside the helper that
opens one, which control-flow analysis does not see, so the variable stayed
narrowed to its initial null and reading a field off it did not compile. The
helper now only builds and records a section; the loop owns the assignment,
which also fixes a real leak in the fall-through row: it opened a section it
never made current, so the next row opened another one.

The multi-file case also passed a possibly-undefined slice to a helper that
takes an array or null.

* fix(native-chat): stop the patch lane naming files it cannot name

Splitting a patch into its files only ever looked for a boundary outside a
hunk, and nothing reopened that state once the first hunk began, so every
file after the first was swallowed as the first one's body. A `--- `/`+++ `
pair inside a hunk is now a boundary too, but only when a hunk header
follows it immediately: a removed `-- x` over an added `++ y` is never
followed by a column-0 header, which is what keeps the guard against reading
content as structure intact.

One producer cannot be recovered by any parser: it joins several files'
patches and keeps a count where the path goes, so nothing in what reaches
here names a file. That shape is refused rather than rendered under a name
no file has. Recovering the per-file paths belongs to the producer and is
filed separately.

A clipped body carries its own marker in its text, and the bound that clips
it is six times smaller than this module's, so it fires first. Read as
content, the marker became a numbered line of the file and the rows before
it were reported complete. It is recognised at the end of the text, removed,
and reported as the truncation it is — the footer says so and the copied
text no longer carries it.

Also: a move appended to the body as prose is now read as a rename on every
lane that carries the body as text, not just the one that also carries the
destination as a field, where it had been rendering as a numbered line of
the file it moved. The call's own path no longer wins over a rename's
destination, which is only ever in the header, and only sections that name a
file count toward deciding whether the call names the one file at hand. A
command that merely quotes an envelope — writing documentation about the
format — must now also invoke the tool that applies one. And two compared
directories are no longer called a rename: only a header that states both
sides as such is evidence of a move.

* fix(native-chat): anchor the move marker to its own line

The marker a producer appends to say where a file moved was matched anywhere
on the body's last line, so a row whose own content mentions a move was cut
in half at that point and the file it named claimed as the destination of a
rename that never happened. It is now anchored to the start of the final
line, on both lanes that carry the body as text.

The command that applies a patch envelope has a second spelling the runner
accepts and runs; requiring the first one refused a patch that really landed.
Both are accepted, still matched against whole argument words rather than the
payload at large.

A clipped diff also said so only under its own rows, where a collapsed card —
or one clipped down to no rows at all — showed nothing. It sits beside the
change counts now, which are visible either way.

* refactor(native-chat): tidy what the diff-card work left behind

The copy text is joined from every row of the diff, which a collapsed card
renders none of, and it was rebuilt on every render to seed a prop. It is
memoized on the rows, matching how the run memoizes its edit model.

The two scanners that read patch text kept the same file-section alternation
verbatim, so they could drift apart while both looking correct; there is one
definition now, beside the header-pair rule that already lives there.

Also: the row that marks a break between regions is built in one place, so it
is no longer exported; the move destination in the envelope reader was a
function-wide binding written and read within one iteration, which read as if
a move carried between sections; and a test comment named the wrong mechanism
for keeping a card collapsed.

Adds the missing pin on what the copy affordance actually copies.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim b0c67eaf88 feat(mobile): port the restructured native-chat turn status and live tool progress (#18761)
* feat(mobile): port the restructured native-chat turn status and live tool progress

Mobile chat had a single static "Agent is working" row and no live tool
activity, while the desktop restructure (#17597, #18705) replaced that with a
per-turn status row and a running-tool label. This brings mobile to parity and
puts the derivation in one place instead of two.

Shared (new, pure, RN-safe — desktop uses them as i18n fallbacks, mobile
directly, matching the native-chat-empty-state pattern):
- `native-chat-turn-status.ts`: duration formatting, label selection, the
  turn-timing state machine, and the active/settled split.
- `native-chat-tool-activity.ts`: command-tool classification, the running-tool
  label descriptor, and running-call selection.

Desktop now consumes both; `NativeChatWorkingStatus`, `NativeChatToolRun` and
`use-native-chat-turn-status` keep their existing behavior and strings.

Mobile gains the "Thinking" / "Working for 12s" / "Worked for 3m 4s" row with a
caret that discloses the turn's tool activity, the pulsing "Running npm test"
row with terminal-vs-wrench glyphs, and desktop's rule that a completed turn's
tool run hides behind the turn caret. The bridge lane is untouched and keeps its
three-dot indicator. Headings, quotes, code, lists and table cells are now
selectable.

Files at their max-lines cap were split rather than bumped: the tool-run subtree,
the prompt card, the session-lane wiring, and the turn-disclosure state each move
to their own module.

* perf(mobile): stop the turn-status rows from re-rendering the whole transcript

A streaming turn re-renders the chat list many times a second. The disclosure
wiring handed every row a fresh status object and a fresh toggle closure on each
of those renders, so `MobileNativeChatMessage`'s memo never held and every
visible row re-rendered per tick — including settled turns that had not changed.

Memoize the status selection on the timing map, and keep one stable toggle
handler per turn (pruned when a turn leaves the transcript) attached only to the
settled rows that can actually disclose anything. Now only the live turn's row
changes identity while the agent works.

* fix(mobile): keep the turn clock running when the optimistic echo is replaced

An accepted send renders as `pending-N` until the transcript echo lands under
its real message id. That flips the active turn key mid-turn, and the timing
reducer treated the new key as a new turn — so a turn that had reached
"Working for 8s" visibly restarted at "Working for 0s".

The reducer now carries the start over when the previous key names a turn that
has since left the transcript, which is exactly the echo-replacement case. A
genuinely new turn (the previous key still in the transcript) and a turn that had
already settled both keep their own clock; both are pinned by tests. Desktop does
not pass the new key and is unaffected.

* fix(mobile): keep the Tools toggle working on settled turns

Hiding a settled turn's tool run behind the turn caret (desktop parity) also
made the composer's global Tools control a no-op on every completed turn: the
run it wanted to expand was not rendered at all. Let that toggle override the
hiding, so it still reveals every run at once the way it did before.

* fix(mobile): re-key the turn timing instead of only carrying its start

The previous fix carried the start forward only while the turn was still
working. When the transcript echo landed after the turn had already settled,
the new key inherited nothing, the settled timing was pruned with the old key,
and the turn's "Worked for N" row disappeared entirely.

Move the timing onto the new key instead, which covers both orderings: an
in-flight turn keeps counting from its original start (and later settles against
it), and an already-settled turn keeps its duration. Both orderings are pinned.

* test(mobile): pin the structured turn-status wiring at the view level

Emulator QA could not reach the structured lane (mobile's Create Tab -> Codex
falls back to a terminal tab when agentSession.createSupport says unsupported),
so the view's own lane wiring had no coverage — the one seam between the shared
turn-timing reducer and the rendered rows.

Assert what the view hands each row: the live user turn gets a status object and
the three-dot indicator is gone on the structured lane; the bridge lane keeps the
indicator and gets no status; a finished turn settles to a numeric duration with
a toggle; and an assistant row never carries a status row of its own.

* fix(mobile): isolate structured chat turn state

* fix(mobile): let the capability RPC actually store what a phone advertises

`runtime.clientCapabilities.update` records the advertised set by assigning
`authenticatedSocket.clientCapabilities`, but the socket handed to the dispatcher
defined that property with a getter only. In strict mode the assignment throws
`TypeError: Cannot set property clientCapabilities ... which has only a getter`,
so the RPC answered `runtime_error` and the set was never stored.

The consequence is not subtle: `supportsStructuredAgentSessions` requires the
capability, so `projectSessionTabAgentStatus` removed every `agent-session` tab
from a phone that had advertised it correctly. A paired phone saw ZERO tabs on a
worktree whose only tab was a structured Codex chat — structured native chat was
unreachable on mobile over this transport, not just missing its new turn UI.

Give the socket a setter that writes through to the channel, which already owns
the set for the connection's lifetime, so later requests on the same socket see
it. Found while trying to capture emulator screenshots of the turn-status port:
two full QA runs reported the new UI "missing" because the phone could only ever
get a bridge/PTY tab.

* fix(mobile): carry the turn key instead of caching a handler in a ref

Builds on the scope-isolation fix: that kept (and extended) a ref that is
written during render — once to memoize a per-turn handler, once to prune dead
turns, once to reset on a scope change. React Doctor's "Ref mutated during
render" is what CI's `check:react-doctor:changed` was failing on (x2), and on
mobile it is a real hazard rather than a style note: react-freeze discards
renders, and a discarded render would leave the cache mutated.

Pass the settled turn's key down the row instead and let it call one stable
handler with it. That preserves both properties the cache was bought for — per
scope isolation, and identity stability so a streaming transcript does not
defeat the row's memo — with no ref writes and no pruning to get wrong. The
scope-keyed expanded set and the 128-turn cap are untouched; their tests move to
the new contract and one now pins handler identity across a re-render.

Note for future changes here: `check:code-quality:changed` does NOT cover this.
CI additionally runs the standalone react-doctor CLI, which has rules the oxlint
plugin config does not enable.

* fix: ship native chat status translations

* test(native-chat): pin the shared copy against the English catalog

The shared constants are desktop's i18n fallback and mobile's actually-rendered
string. If one changes without the other, desktop keeps rendering en.json while
mobile renders the constant — and nothing fails, because a fallback is only used
when the key is missing. That silent divergence is the exact thing the shared
module exists to prevent, and it is now reachable precisely because these strings
are runtime-required rather than statically extracted.

Assert every key in both shared copy objects matches en.json byte for byte, plus
the interpolation placeholders the catalog interpolates on.

Neil 3f84c358f0 fix: recover from an alternate shell install, and close the relay duplicate-echo gap (#18796)
* fix: recover from an alternate shell install, and close the relay echo gap

#18768: a startup profile that `exec`s a second install of the same shell keeps
the pid but loses the wrapper's ready marker, and the recovery probe rejected the
replacement's different canonical path -- costing plain Codex the full 15s
barrier. The probe now also accepts an install that the pane's own PATH resolves,
so a binary merely named bash/zsh outside it stays rejected.

#18767: the SSH relay left plain Codex on early startup delivery, displaying the
launch twice under a slow profile. The shell is the host's to know, so the relay
now folds it into the same rule the daemon uses, and the SSH background client
waits for the marker on any Codex launch. Bracketed paste is now gated on an
observed marker rather than on the intent to wait, so a fallback release on a
host shell that never publishes one submits raw.

The non-daemon local provider needs no change: it hands Codex to the wrapper's
own prompt hook and never writes it into the PTY.

* review: correct an overclaiming comment, announce a silent skip, drop a shim

Readiness review of #18796. The delivery comment claimed waiting "costs nothing",
which is only true on a host that arms the marker -- fish, sh, Windows and hosts
predating #18767 release on the fallback instead. Say so.

The alternate-install recovery tests skip on usrmerge hosts, where /usr/bin/bash
resolves back to /bin/bash; announce that rather than reading as coverage that
does not exist.

Import the line-editor predicate from shared directly instead of through a
re-export left on daemon/shell-ready.

Neil b33d1972bc docs(relay): correct why the ConPTY teardown asset diverges from the desktop patch (#18636)
The divergence pinned by #18601 is real and worth keeping, but its stated reason
was wrong. It claimed the desktop patch carries the early conin placement "and
therefore the +2 File / +1 Process regression, measured against its exact
installed tree" -- i.e. that the shipped desktop app leaks because of its own
leak fix.

It does not, for any terminal a user opens. node-pty defaults `_useConptyDll` to
false. Every desktop site that opens a pane sets it true (`local-pty-utils.ts`
twice, `native-pty-spawn.ts`), as does the `windows-conpty-warmup.ts` warm-up, so
they take the `else` branch, where upstream already destroys the input socket. The
relay passes no such option (`src/relay/pty-handler.ts`) and takes the
`!useConptyDll` branch -- the one both this asset and the desktop patch edit.

The desktop is not entirely off that branch, though: the hidden rate-limit probes
in `src/main/rate-limits/claude-pty.ts` and `codex-pty-rate-limit-probe.ts` omit
the option, recur, and tear down through `kill()`, so the hunk is live there --
just never for a visible pane. Whether the early placement costs the same +2 File
/ +1 Process across a probe's lifecycle is unmeasured; the numbers in this comment
were taken on relay-style spawn/kill cycles, and the comment now says so. What is
settled is the replaced claim: not every Windows user, and not every terminal.

Those two probes were missed three enumerations running because they use
`await import('node-pty')`, which no static-import grep finds. The comment now
tells the next reader to grep for `node-pty` instead.

The measurement that produced the wrong claim was taken by a standalone harness
that passed no `useConptyDll` and so defaulted into the branch it was not trying
to measure -- the same standalone-is-not-the-real-host trap #18601's own body
warns about, one level down.

Also refreshes the self-exit paragraph, which #18635 made stale. That leak is now
fixed for the desktop, and the note records why the fix cannot reach a Windows
relay. The fix is mostly native (`src/win/conpty.cc`) and this asset only rewrites
`lib/*.js`, and all three delivery paths stop short of Windows: pnpm patches do
not cross the SSH boundary; `MATRIX_SLOTS` in `build-orcad-prebuilds.mjs` has no
win32 entry; and the one relay asset that does patch native source and rebuild on
the host (`node-pty-1.1.0-master-cloexec-patch.cjs`) returns
`skipped:unsupported-platform` for anything but linux/darwin. #18635's flat self-exit relay numbers were measured
against a locally rebuilt binary, so they describe the relay code path on a
patched tree, not the tree a relay host installs -- the note says so explicitly
rather than leaving the next reader to conflate them.

Assertion and hashes unchanged: the relay must still release conin after the
console-list fork, and a patch sync must still not copy the early placement onto
the relay's branch, where it does cost +2 File and +1 Process per terminal. Only
the justification changes, plus the test name, which said "like the desktop
patch" where it meant "unlike the desktop patch placement".

Neil 41b520259e ci(package): retry apt fetches and docker builds behind the Ubuntu mirror (#18797)
The package job builds three Docker images whose apt-get update/install
hit archive.ubuntu.com with no retry, timeout, or mirror fallback. When
the mirror is mid-sync every build dies in one of three ways:

- per-package fetch stalls (~64 s each, `Ign:` lines) until the runner's
  10-minute docker build timeout fires:
  https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/33935104546/job/101221447425
- `apt-get update` exit 100 with `Hash Sum mismatch` on
  noble-updates/restricted/Packages.gz:
  https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/33935104546/job/101226099525
- `apt-get update` exit 100 with `File has unexpected size ... Mirror
  sync in progress?`:
  https://github.com/stablyai/orca/actions/runs/33935244026/job/101231083497

Each Dockerfile now retries `apt-get update` up to five times with
Acquire::Retries and a 30 s HTTP timeout, clearing /var/lib/apt/lists
between attempts so a half-synced index is never reused, and passes the
same acquire options to `apt-get install`. Each runner script retries the
whole `docker build` once when the first attempt fails or times out.

Jinwoo Hong 436ef827dd fix(browser): present Electron's own user agent so Cloudflare Turnstile clears (#18749)
Orca rewrote every browser session's UA to look like plain Chrome by stripping
the Electron and app tokens. That rewrite is what Cloudflare rejects: a Chrome
UA that ships no client hints reads as a spoof and Turnstile returns 600010,
while the same binary on the same IP clears every challenge with its stock UA.
PR #885 added the rewrite to fix 600010 and was treating a symptom it created;
issue #11518 later found the same rewrite is what broke Google sign-in.

- Keep the stock Electron UA on every partition. The webRequest handler now only
  owns the host-scoped Google auth Firefox switch, which stays unchanged.
- Delete the anti-detection script. Measured on Electron 43: plugins are already
  a real PluginArray, window.chrome exists, and navigator.webdriver is false even
  with the debugger attached, so three of its four premises were wrong, and the
  overrides it installed (instance-level webdriver, non-native Permissions.query,
  stubbed chrome.csi/loadTimes) are themselves published bot signatures.
- Stop attaching a CDP debugger to every browsing guest. Only the auth-UA detach
  listener remains, because a detach clears Chromium's standing UA override.
- Stop sending Runtime.enable into cross-origin iframes when the agent bridge
  auto-attaches. The challenge widget is one, nothing reads iframe Runtime
  events, and the Runtime domain's serialization side effect is the documented
  Cloudflare CDP tell.
- Add a real-Electron test proving the wire identity: stock UA to ordinary
  hosts, Firefox with no client hints to accounts.google.com.

Verified in the dev build: dash.cloudflare.com/login no longer shows
"There was a problem with verification" and scrapingcourse.com's managed
challenge clears, both failing deterministically before.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim cb7f7dd11a fix(native-chat): tell old mobile builds why a structured chat is missing (#18756)
* fix(native-chat): tell old mobile builds why a structured chat is missing

A structured native chat started on desktop was simply absent on a paired phone
running any shipped App Store build. The host strips every `agent-session` tab
from a client that does not advertise `agent-session.structured.v1`, and no
released mobile build advertises it — so the chat had no representation at all
and no way to explain itself.

Keep the row and retitle it instead of deleting it. The shipped client does not
filter unknown tab types and renders whatever title the host sends, so an old
build now shows the chat's slot with a title naming the fix. Nothing is removed,
so the tab order, groups and layout it belonged to are left intact.

The prompt is keyed on the capability for that specific agent, not on the
combined policy boolean: a capable phone whose desktop simply has the experiment
off would otherwise be told to take an update that cannot help it. Claude rows
are prompted too — mobile cannot render them yet and a later build can, so the
message is true for that client as well.

Restore is no longer gated on the caller's capability. It stayed gated on the
host setting, which is what decides whether there is anything to reach at all,
but gating on capability left an old client with nothing to project after a
desktop restart: neither the chat nor the prompt.

Tab titles are capped at 128px on one line in every shipped build, so the string
is sized for ~15 characters rather than a sentence.

Prompted rows are visible rows, so the host now permits all five session-tab
mutations on them, close included. That is intended: a mobile close runs the same
teardown as the desktop's own Close button.

Jinwoo Hong 30d7542bc5 fix(terminal): stop a hidden pane's unmeasured 80x24 from overwriting a live PTY's size on reattach (#18706)
* fix(terminal): stop a hidden pane's unmeasured 80x24 from overwriting a live PTY's size on reattach

A pane that mounts while display:none (app relaunch or update with the
floating terminal panel closed, a non-active floating tab, any
background tab) cannot fit its container, so it reattaches with xterm's
default 80x24. Main wrote those placeholder dims into `ptySizes`
unconditionally, both before and after the attach. A daemon attach never
resizes the live session, so the real PTY stayed at its wide grid while
main's hidden headless model was created (or reflowed after renderer
hydration) at 80 columns. Every byte the agent emitted while hidden was
parsed 80 wide; reveal restored that image into the pane: rows clamped
at column 80 with CHA fill, the status bar interleaved into response
text, and for alt-screen TUIs the whole screen stuck in an 80x24 corner
until a real resize forced a repaint. Scrollback damage was permanent.

Fix, main-side only:
- Pre-attach: seed `ptySizes` only for a genuinely fresh session id, or a
  measured request with nothing cached. A hidden reattach writes nothing.
- Commit: on reattach, record the provider's proven grid
  (`attachedGrid`, set only by the local provider whose attach really
  resizes), then the reply's `snapshotCols/Rows` (the daemon emulator's
  grid), then the size main already held, and only then the request.
- Reflow an already-created model to that grid after the seed block, so
  bytes that arrived before the reply no longer leave an 80x24 model.

Both the ipc and runtime spawn paths take the same authority module.
Renderer and wire formats are unchanged; `PtySpawnResult` is main-internal.

Reproduced deterministically: close the floating panel with Claude Code
streaming at 211x57, kill only the Electron main process so the daemon
survives, relaunch. Main's cache read 80x24 against an applied 211x57
and the reveal snapshot was 80 columns wide; replaying the recorded
bytes through an 80-column emulator reproduced the field screenshot.
Relaunch with the panel open, and a fresh spawn, keep the wide grid.

* fix(terminal): commit the adopted-claim reattach grid and reject non-integer provider grids

Review follow-ups. The runtime spawn path's adopted-claim branch returned before the size
commit, so an adoption attaching to a live session kept whatever the caller requested; it now
commits and reflows like every other reattach. The grid validator requires integers so a
malformed provider grid falls through to the cached size instead of reaching xterm.

* fix(terminal): reflow main's headless model onto the committed grid for every spawn, not only reattaches

A hidden attach whose daemon restarted comes back as a fresh session, and the
pre-attach seed is now withheld for unmeasured attaches, so a live byte that
created the model at 80x24 before the reply would have kept it there forever.

* refactor(terminal): let the provider's reattach flag pick the adopted-claim grid source

* fix(terminal): derive the adopted-claim reattach flag once for the size commit and the reservation

The SSH relay's adopted reply carries no isReattach, so the size commit
would have taken the request while the reservation was told it was an
attach. Normalize once so both agree.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 8096cb2803 fix(native-chat): render Claude structured chat through the same UI as Codex (#18743)
* fix(native-chat): render Claude structured chat through the same UI as Codex

Structured native chat is one shared, agent-agnostic component tree, but three
Codex-hardcoded terms on that path made a Claude session render differently.

- `showTurnStatus` was `agent === 'codex'`, which gated the whole structured
  presentation: the live tool-progress row, the completion check and activity
  grouping (`structuredActivityUi`), and the Thinking / Working for N /
  Worked for N status rows. Claude fell back to the legacy compact chrome.
- `runtimeContext` was likewise Codex-only, so a Claude transcript rendered
  images as filename chips instead of previews.
- The composer's structured slash menu always served the Codex catalog,
  ignoring `agent`. That disagreed with the dispatcher, which does branch per
  agent: Codex-only tokens offered to Claude missed the command guard and were
  sent to the model as literal prompt text, where Codex shows an error.

The first two gates landed Codex-first (#17597, #18266) before the Claude
structured lane existed; they were rollout scoping, not capability limits.
Neither `useNativeChatTurnStatus` nor `useNativeChatImageRuntimeContext` has
any agent-specific logic. The menu now reads `structuredSlashCommands(agent)`,
the function the dispatcher already used, so both read one list.

No new rendering logic: two gates removed and one existing shared function
reused. There are now zero `agent === 'codex' | 'claude'` branches in any
native-chat component.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 86cd327749 Answer the structured-session support probe without installing the host (#18695)
* Answer the structured-session support probe without installing the host

`getStructuredAgentSessionCreateSupport` called `ensureStructuredAgentSessionHost()`
before answering, so a read-only "can you create a Codex session here?" question
performed the create route's lifecycle work: the first install opens the durable
agent-session record store, attaches the PTY write-gate record lookup and starts
the orphan-child reaper.

Ask the pure predicate instead. `supportsCreate` on the installed host resolves to
`adapterSupportsCreate`, which for the Codex adapter is exactly
`agent === 'codex' && supportsCodexStructuredLocation(location)` — no adapter
instance is needed to answer it.

Nothing is lost: the create/attach route still installs via `ensureStructuredHostInstalled`,
and startup restoration still installs and reconciles when a store is already persisted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(claude): resolve Claude structured launch args, auth, and win32 proof

The origin/main merge re-expressed the lane's Claude wiring onto main's split
orca-runtime facade and dropped three wires past green typecheck and lint.

- resolveLaunchArgs discarded its provider parameter, so structured Claude
  sessions were launched with Codex app-server flags; Claude exits on
  --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox, and a Codex arg-parse throw
  could block Claude session creation outright.
- resolveClaudeLaunchEnv was no longer supplied, so the launch resolver fell
  back to the whole process env as configuredEnv and
  buildClaudeChildProcessEnv re-applied every auth var it had just stripped.
  The resolver now merges the Claude overlay onto a strip-applied copy of the
  inherited env, which also keeps PATH intact for withCliRuntimeOnPath.
- The windowsProcessStartTimeAvailable producer was gone while the contract
  field and both consumers survived, so the renderer gate fail-closed and
  structured native chat was unreachable on every win32 host.

Separately, structured Claude pinned CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR unconditionally. An
explicit pin makes the CLI abandon the macOS Keychain even when it names the
CLI's own default, so a default claude.ai account could not authenticate where
the legacy Claude terminal could. Pin only a home the CLI would not resolve on
its own, matching ClaudeRuntimePathResolver, and compare against the env the
child would otherwise inherit so a diverging overlay cannot outrank the
record's account home.

Also await the now-async revealNativeSession in its regression test, and set
the native status before revealing so a rejecting reveal cannot leave a
session released but never marked native.

* fix(native-chat): settle handoff outcome-write failures instead of leaking them

A store write failure while recording a handoff outcome escaped the flow
runner's catch handler, so the client never received the failure and the
flow surfaced as an unhandled rejection (seen as an intermittent
agent_session_store_corrupt error in the proven-dead-retry suite, whose
teardown raced the flow's trailing outcome write). Record the failed
outcome best-effort, and drain the coordinator before that test's
teardown removes the store root.

* fix(native-chat): make the structured close-failure toast provider-neutral

The structuredSessionCloseFailed toast fires for any structured session,
but its copy said 'Codex chat', so a Claude structured session that fails
to close showed the wrong provider name. The launch-failure toast is only
reachable behind the agent === 'codex' gate, so its copy stays as is.

The one `experimentalStructuredNativeChat` toggle gates both providers —
`useStructuredAgentSessionCreate` runs `canUseStructuredNativeChat` for
`'claude'` as well as `'codex'` — but its description named only Codex.

Its scope line also said Windows keeps using terminal chat, while the gate
refuses win32 only until the host proves it can read a process start time.
`structured-native-chat-availability.test.ts` already pins that Windows is
allowed once the proof is cached, so the two contradicted each other.

* test(claude): pin @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.251 contracts against a scripted CLI

PR 1 of the SDK migration: dependency + test-only harness, no product wiring.

- Pin @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk to exactly 0.3.251 — not the newest
  release — because 0.3.251 (published 2026-08-28) clears the repo's 3-day
  minimumReleaseAge supply-chain gate with no exclusion, while the newest
  release was minutes old and would have required excluding a brand-new
  publish from the exact control built to catch brand-new malicious
  publishes. Every contract this design depends on was verified identical
  on 0.3.251: the full option surface, no pid on SpawnedProcess (custom
  spawner stays mandatory), env defaulting to process.env when omitted, and
  --replay-user-messages appearing only via extraArgs.
- Exclude all eight bundled CLI platform binaries via
  ignoredOptionalDependencies. The setting lives in pnpm-workspace.yaml
  because pnpm 12 no longer reads the package.json "pnpm" field (it warns
  and ignores it; verified by install ablation). Excluding the binaries is
  what makes Orca's pathToClaudeCodeExecutable override mandatory rather
  than merely preferred. Note: pnpm 12.0.0 honors the ignore list when
  reconciling an existing lockfile but not on fresh resolution of a new
  dependency, so the lockfile's SDK entry was pinned surgically; both
  'pnpm install' and 'pnpm install --frozen-lockfile' verify clean and
  stable against the committed lockfile.
- Contract-pin suite drives the real SDK against a scripted fake CLI and pins:
  unknown type/field/content-block pass-through (and keep_alive interception),
  spawner env fidelity plus the omitted-env process.env inheritance sharp edge,
  extraArgs producing --replay-user-messages, argument parity for every
  CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_BASE_ARGS entry plus --session-id/--resume/
  --resume-session-at, canUseTool wire request_id stability and abort on
  control_cancel_request, one spawn per query, pathToClaudeCodeExecutable
  honored by the default spawner, the exact SDK version, and the eight platform
  binaries staying uninstalled.

* feat(claude): drive the structured transport through the agent SDK

Replaces the hand-rolled `claude -p --input-format stream-json` transport with
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk 0.3.251, keeping the existing connection
interface for this commit so the acquisition path changes minimally. The
control-plane rewrite is a separate change.

Orca still supplies the process. `spawnClaudeCodeProcess` routes through
`spawnProcess`, retains the child and its pid — the triple the durable lease
adjudicates on — drains stderr so exit errors keep their tail, and hands `.cmd`
shims to Orca's Windows argument encoder rather than the SDK's plain spawn.
`close()` keeps Orca's own bounded tree-kill and exit deadline, so it still
resolves true only after an observed exit.

Launch resolution emits an SDK options object instead of argv; durable
`launchArgs` translate to a typed option where one exists and to `extraArgs`
otherwise, refusing a token neither can carry rather than dropping it. The
child env is always passed explicitly — omitting it would let the SDK inherit
`process.env` and reintroduce the ambient `ANTHROPIC_*` leak. The stdout line
parser is deleted; the SDK owns framing, and unknown frames still reach the
translator verbatim.

* fix(claude): settle the frame the SDK pulled but never wrote

The SDK's input pump is `for await (frame of prompt) { await transport.write(frame) }`.
When that write rejects — the child dies between Orca's liveness guard and the
write — the for-await ends abruptly and calls the generator's `return()`, so the
code after `yield` never runs. The frame was already shift()ed out of `queued`,
so the later `fail()` from the exit path could not reach it and `send()` never
settled: `dispatchClaudeTurn` awaits that send before it can return `unknown`,
wedging the caller and the durable outbox. The pre-SDK transport rejected on the
stdin write callback instead.

Retain the in-flight entry and settle it from the generator's cleanup, and let
fail() reach it too for the pump that never resumes at all.

* fix(claude): keep the agent SDK behind the structured-Claude boundary

The ordinary OrcaRuntimeService graph statically reaches the Claude adapter and
so the transport module, whose first line imported @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk.
The SDK is evaluated whenever the regular runtime loads, before any structured
Claude session is chosen: it sets process.env.NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath,
changing Windows executable resolution for later subprocesses, and a missing or
incompatible install would break normal runtime startup — for a user who never
leaves the terminal/TUI path.

Defer the SDK to the connection, memoized so it loads once per process, and add
the import-graph ratchet: a walk from the Electron main entry that fails on any
static import of the package, plus a clean-fork check that loading the runtime
leaves the Windows search variable untouched and a child-process pin that the
side effect is still real.

* fix(claude): answer list_models so the picker stops serving the seed

sendControlRequest had no list_models case, so every request hit the default
reject; readClaudeStructuredSessionOptions swallows that with .catch(() => null)
and falls back to the static catalog. Every structured session therefore served a
hardcoded model list with no per-model effort levels, no resolvedModel and no
default detection, and nothing surfaced the failure. The pre-SDK transport got the
live catalog from the CLI.

Route it through the SDK's supportedModels(), wrapped in the { models } envelope
the existing parser reads.

* fix(claude): reap the child's descendants before killing it

The forced step of the exit ladder went through the Codex helper, which spawns
`pkill -KILL -P <pid>` and SIGKILLs the parent in the same tick: the parent
usually dies first, the descendants reparent to pid 1, and `-P` matches nothing.
An MCP or launcher descendant of a stubborn Claude child was left running. The
test named for that requirement declined to assert it and killed the survivor by
hand instead, so it could not fail for the thing it was named after.

Route the Claude reap through Orca's existing sweep, which snapshots descendants
while their parent link still exists and signals them before the root goes, and
on Windows uses the identity-gated `taskkill /T /F`. The test now asserts the
descendant is dead; the manual kill stays only as a failure-safe. close() still
returns true only on an observed exit.

settleFrom registered the abort listener and then delivered the request. A

* test(claude): wait for the child to record the frame, not just for its report

The scripted CLI writes its report at startup, so `until(readReport)` returned a
report with no user messages whenever the child had not yet read the line. The
assertion then failed under parallel load. Poll for the frame instead of for the
file.

* fix(claude): coalesce partial deltas onto one assistant item and stop painting result frames

Under --include-partial-messages every stream_event frame carries its own
uuid, and the final assistant frame for a block carries yet another; only
message.id ties them. The translator keyed each delta by its frame uuid, so a
reply painted as one bubble per delta chunk followed by a complete duplicate
under the final frame's uuid. The block's first stream frame now mints the
claude:(sessionId, uuid) identity, deltas coalesce onto it through the shared
60ms seam, and the final frame reconciles onto that same item.

Known SDK bookkeeping no longer reaches the provider-fallback row: result
subtypes are catalogued and settled by the turn lifecycle, an empty thinking
block (redacted thinking) is a modeled kind, a string-content user replay is a
text block, and an empty user frame paints nothing. An unmodeled result
subtype or content kind still lands on the bounded fallback row.

* fix(claude): prove descendant exit at the close boundary instead of on an unref'd timer

close() reported proven=true as soon as the direct child exited while the
descendant sweep's SIGKILL sat on an unref'd 2 s timer, so a SIGTERM-resistant
MCP server outlived the lease release. The reaper now composes the same shared
primitives the Codex structured provider uses: snapshot, verified bounded
descendant termination on POSIX, taskkill /T /F on Windows. The proof is false
whenever descendants outlive the deadline, a retried close re-verifies the
retained snapshot rather than trusting the dead root, and the raw pipe child no
longer goes through the PTY job sweep it never owned a job for.

Measured on macOS: a killed child of a SIGSTOPped parent stays a matching zombie
row in ps, so the root is killed while verification runs rather than stopped
first as the Codex non-group path does.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_0161QFm3KVRNJKfdzWVGVNWk

* feat(claude): replace the hand-rolled control plane with the SDK's native surface

PR 3 of the Claude structured SDK migration removes the wire-frame scaffolding
PR 2 kept, so Orca drives the SDK's typed control surface directly.

Inbound permissions move from a rebuilt control_request dispatch to the SDK's
canUseTool / onUserDialog callbacks. The prompt registry now carries the
callback's own resolver: a decodable can_use_tool becomes a durable prompt whose
answer settles the callback; a malformed one is denied without registering; the
SDK's abort signal (fired on control_cancel_request, which the SDK matches and
dedups itself) forgets the prompt and settles it null, and a late answer after
abort finds no prompt and is refused. Closing settles every in-flight callback so
no promise dangles. The claude-agent-sdk-control-bridge that rebuilt the wire
frame is deleted.

Outbound control maps to Query methods: interrupt() for cancel, setModel /
setPermissionMode / applyFlagSettings for options, supportedModels for the model
list, initializationResult() for init proof, each under Orca's own request
deadline and error classification. Cancel is interrupt-receipt aware: a CLI
advertising interrupt_cancel_queued_v1 gets cancel_queued in one round trip,
otherwise the receipt's still_queued uuids are swept with cancel_async_message so
a cancelled turn cannot spawn a later unexpected turn; older CLIs resolve no
receipt. Init keeps the 10s deadline and the unauthenticated-startup guidance.

Every behavior is failing-first and ablation-proven; the toggle-off import
boundary and the accepted loss of unknown-control visibility rows are unchanged.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Pqjduxt5G4rr9aYvtp7rNm

* fix(claude): arm the descendant snapshot before stdin closes and make the tree verdict unproven by default

A healthy Claude root leaves within the graceful window, and the close ladder
only snapshotted descendants when the root was still alive after that window.
So the common close never looked at the tree: `treeExited` stayed null,
`!== false` passed it, and close() reported a proven exit with an MCP child
still running. A root that died before the walk made the snapshot vacuous too.

The proof is now unproven by default. The reaper holds one verdict in Orca's
vocabulary (exited / live / unverifiable), assigned in exactly one place from
the bounded verification, and close() returns true only on `exited`. The
snapshot is armed before stdin closes, while the root can still be walked, and
is verified after the root exits; a root that left before any snapshot could
be armed stays unverifiable rather than vouching for descendants it never
showed us. The shared verifier gains the three-way verdict behind its boolean
face, and the connection reports the root and tree verdicts separately along
with the child's exit status.

One verification per close attempt: the retried close re-verifies, so the
intra-attempt re-reap is gone from the teardown budget.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): verify the Windows tree after taskkill instead of trusting that it ran

`terminateWindowsProcessTree` resolves from taskkill's callback whatever the
error says, so a timeout, an access denial, a recycled root and a surviving
descendant all looked identical to the reaper — which then returned a proven
exit unconditionally. close() reported true and the lease was released with an
MCP descendant potentially still live.

The Windows branch now snapshots the root's descendants while it is alive and,
after taskkill, polls a fresh process table to a bounded deadline: a row still
matching by pid AND creation time is `live`, an unreadable table is
`unverifiable`, and only a table with no match is `exited`. Creation time is
the PID-reuse guard the POSIX path gets from ps lstart, so a descendant that
denied a creation-time query is omitted rather than signalled on a bare pid.
A root already observed exited is never taskkilled: `/T /F` on a recycled pid
would take an unrelated tree down with it.

The captured tree is tagged by platform so neither verifier can be handed the
other's rows.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): release a reservation on a first-hand root exit instead of latching it into manual recovery

Making close() strict about the descendant tree exposed a second defect at the
same boundary. A create-time acquisition has no ownerProcess until publication,
so an unproven cleanup mapped to handoffStage `manual-recovery`, and
adjudication then refuses every later attach with agent_session_ownership_unknown.
A user who was merely signed out, or whose --resume the CLI rejected, wedged the
session id permanently.

Each question now answers from its own evidence. close() is unchanged and stays
strict about the tree. Separately, the lease is keyed on the root's pid and
start time, so when Orca's own child handle observed that root exit and no
descendant snapshot was ever admissible, the reservation is released and the
CLI's exit code and stderr reach the user. A descendant observed still alive,
or a root Orca never saw leave, stays unproven and keeps the reservation.

The settlement records only what was observed: the released lease says the
provider process exited and its descendants were not verifiable, rather than
reusing the wording that claims cleanup proved no child remains.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): surface an API error a result frame reports instead of settling the turn on it

The SDK models an API failure as a SUCCESS-subtype result whose `result` string
is the user-facing error text, with no assistant frame behind it. The translator
suppressed every catalogued result subtype as turn bookkeeping, so that turn
tombstoned its lifecycle and showed the user a completed, empty reply with no
sign anything had failed.

Suppression is now by meaning. A result reporting a failure routes to the
bounded provider-error surface, leading with the provider's own sentence and
keeping the raw frame behind the row's disclosure; ordinary successful results
stay off the timeline as before. A turn the user aborted also stays suppressed:
its interrupt frame already says so, and its execution diagnostic would only be
noise on every stop.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): drop the stream state of turns that never received their final frame

Every streamed delta recorded its block's identity, latest text and checkpoint
length. Only the final assistant frame removed them, so an interrupted turn left
its whole accumulated reply reachable until the session was disposed, and a long
session with repeated interruptions grew those maps without bound. The partial
text was already journaled by the flush that precedes settlement, so the live
copy was pure retention.

That state now lives in its own module, named for what it does — grow a streamed
block's journal row between its deltas and its final frame — and turn settlement
drops every block still awaiting a final. The translator reports how many remain,
which is the invariant: a settled turn leaves none.

Also makes a timed-out process-table read retryable while the root is still
alive. A loaded host can miss the table's one-second deadline, and latching that
as "no descendants" both lost the descendant sweep and, on a busy machine, made
the close ladder report unproven for a tree it never actually looked at. Only
the root's death still makes a missing snapshot final.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* perf(claude): capture the Windows descendant tree from one process-table read

The capture walked the descendant tree and then read the table again for the
creation times the walk's projection drops. Each read is bounded in seconds and
both run inside the close ladder's budget, so the second one cost the worst-case
teardown three seconds for data the first read already held.

The walk is now exported from the module that owns it and runs over rows the
caller has already read, which is also what lets the snapshot keep the
PID-reuse guard the projection cannot carry.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(pty): spend the descendant verification window instead of surrendering on one slow table read

The verification abandoned the whole check the first time a process-table read
missed its own one-second deadline, with seconds of its window still unspent.
On a loaded host that reported a tree unverifiable without ever having looked at
it, which the Claude close ladder then turned into an unproven close and a
retried teardown. It also made the descendant-exit tests flake under a parallel
suite run, for the same reason and with the same honest-but-premature verdict.

A read that missed its deadline is now simply not an answer: the loop waits and
reads again until its own deadline, and only a window that ends without a
readable table reports unverifiable. This can only turn a premature verdict into
one backed by evidence; it never manufactures a proof.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BSmXgkWSsNHft8jFkdBFG9

* fix(claude): never let a later failed look collapse an observed live descendant into unverifiable

The reaper's single assignment site latched only 'exited', so a second reap
whose table reads all missed their deadline overwrote an earlier completed
verification's 'live' with 'unverifiable'. The acquisition release gate
discriminates on exactly that pair, so a root exit after such a decay released
the lease over a descendant that had been observed alive. The latch is now
monotone in trust order: exited is final, and live is only ever raised to exited.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HfdhsvSJucLw4cTZxzg2CP

* fix(claude): never prove a Windows tree gone while a descendant denied identification

The Windows snapshot dropped rows that denied the creation-time query, and an
emptied snapshot was judged exited without any table read: a descendant Orca was
refused information about was treated as one that had left. The snapshot now
counts the unidentified rows it saw, and verification caps its verdict at
unverifiable while any exist. Nothing is ever signalled on a bare pid, as before.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HfdhsvSJucLw4cTZxzg2CP

* fix(claude): classify cleanup after a first-hand exit as a root exit instead of a proven tree

When the CLI died between a successful acquire and the host's commit or proof
of the lease, handleExit had already removed the session, so releaseAcquisition
found nothing and reported true. The attach flow then settled exit-proven with
deathEvidence claiming cleanup proved no provider child remains, though the
tree was never verified. The adapter now keeps the exit that removed a
published session until the session is acquired again; acquisition cleanup runs
that connection's close ladder and classifies its verdict exactly as a
start-time failure would be, so the record reads root-exit-observed. The wire
helper keeps that typed classification and its provider diagnostic instead of
wrapping it as unproven, and the router gives up its owner even when the
release throws.

The direct root kill goes through the handle Node owns, not through a pid:
libuv drops that handle in the same turn it reaps, so the signal either
reaches the process Orca spawned or reaches nothing at all. Gating it on a
process-table probe therefore bought no safety and cost the tree its only
fallback whenever the probe declined -- a first capture landing in the fork's
own second, a recycled descendant pid voiding the snapshot, or a process table
that could not be read on either platform.

Identity verification stays where a bare pid is genuinely addressed: Windows
`taskkill /T /F`, and the descendant sweep's own revalidation before it signals.

Also stops a declined root probe from collapsing an observed `live` or `exited`
descendant verdict into `unverifiable`, and stops a successful taskkill from
reporting `unverifiable` because a later probe found the root correctly dead.

* docs(claude): rewrap the root-kill ordering comment

* Match the Claude structured launch to the terminal path's managed-account auth rules

The SDK path stripped ambient Anthropic auth unconditionally, let an explicit
agentDefaultEnv override beat a pinned managed account, and had no account-switch
guard. Reuse the terminal preflight's own predicate and messages so both transports
strip, refuse, and report identically, and cover the CLI transcript location that
mobile native chat depends on.

* Reach the Claude structured chat lane from the desktop UI

The main process has had a complete, correctly gated Claude Agent SDK lane for
a while, but no renderer ever asked for it: the launch route accepted only
`codex`, and the create path was typed `agent: 'codex'` end to end.

Widen both to the structured provider union that already exists
(`AgentSessionHandleProvider`), and generalize the codex-named create path
instead of adding a Claude twin beside it. The pending-launch registry is now
keyed by agent as well as workspace — a shared key handed a second caller the
first agent's intent, so a Claude and a Codex launch in one worktree collided.

Windows, per agent. Codex's client-side win32 refusal is deliberate and settled
elsewhere, so it stays exactly as it was. Claude's answer is no longer guessed
from the client's platform: a structured session fences its provider child on
that child's process start time, and only the executing host knows whether it
can read one. `agentSession.createSupport` already answers precisely that, per
agent, and had no renderer caller — so the Claude create path asks it before
creating and turns a "no", or a probe it cannot get answered, into the
definitive refusal the launch fallback already handles. Fail closed either way.

That refusal mapping also closes a real gap: the host reports an unsupported
location by throwing `structured_agent_session_unsupported`, which reaches the
client as a transport rejection rather than a refusal envelope, so
`StructuredAgentSessionCreateRefusalError` never fired. The launch would retry
the create, strand itself in `visibilityUnknown`, run no legacy fallback, and
show an error toast.

Close a fail-open hole while Claude and win32 become reachable: `create` with a
client-supplied location, and `ensure`, both skip the worktree-resolving support
check. They now ask the executing host the same question directly, so a host
that cannot fence a provider child no longer creates one on a client's say-so.

Also deletes `structured-agent-session-provider-routing.ts`, a duplicate of
`structured-agent-session-provider-support.ts` with no importers.

WSL, SSH and paired hosts, floating workspaces, draft prompt delivery, explicit
TUI customization and initial session options all keep refusing; folder
workspaces keep working.

* P1-1: make the structured Claude auth policy required and testable

The optional dep plus a {stripAuthEnv:false} fallback meant a dropped wiring
under-stripped silently. Required at all three hops, asserted at install time for
the @ts-nocheck caller, and the settings-to-policy mapping is now a named tested
function.

* P2-3: mobile's default Claude transcript root must follow CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR

session-file-resolver's default ignored the variable the pinned account home
follows, so a CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR launch wrote one tree and mobile read another. The
Task-4 test now resolves with no root override (mobile's own call) and checks the
answer against the root the CLI itself reports, instead of mirroring the code under
test's own expression.

* P2-1/P2-2/P3: close the teardown window, join the live-auth gate, align the refusal

P2-1: a switch beginning inside the acquire teardown left a dead chat and no
replacement. Past that point the launch waits the swap out and refuses only if it
never settles; the entry guard still refuses outright, because nothing is torn down
there yet.
P2-2: structured children now hold the same OAuth-refresh gate a Claude PTY does,
so a managed refresh cannot rotate the token out from under a live turn.
P3: the refusal now matches the strip it guards (case-folded on win32, presence not
truthiness), and the dead structured-to-TUI builder states its auth policy instead
of silently signing a system-auth user out.

* Make the live-auth gate tests independent of sibling connection teardown order

* Do not offer structured Claude under a WSL-only managed account

Structured Claude launches against the ambient Claude config, which the account
service keeps in sync with the selected HOST account. A WSL-bound managed
account lives inside the distro and is never synced there, so on Windows a
structured session would authenticate as whatever the ambient identity happens
to be while the UI names the WSL account — the user is told one identity and
given another.

That was unreachable only because nothing offered structured Claude on win32.
Enabling it makes it reachable, so gate it here rather than patching the auth
layer: refuse the structured path when the active managed Claude account is
WSL-bound, and let the terminal-backed path — which resolves the account per
runtime — handle that account shape.

The answer rides the agentSession.createSupport seam the renderer already
consumes, so no new capability and no renderer knowledge of account internals.
A create the host declines becomes the definitive refusal the launch fallback
already turns into a legacy native chat tab, with no error toast.

Unknown answers refuse. An install with no managed accounts claims no identity
and is fine, but an active selection that cannot be resolved — or account state
that cannot be read at all — is not evidence that the ambient identity is right.

Claude only. Codex resolves its account through a different path and its
createSupport answer is untouched, as is every Codex routing decision.

* Read the structured Claude account gate through the auth policy's accessor

The gate resolved the active account from the account-service snapshot's
runtime map; the auth policy resolves it with
getSelectedClaudeAccountIdForTarget(settings, { runtime: 'host' }). Those are
two sources and two resolution rules, and they disagree on a legacy settings
blob that carries the selection only in the flat activeClaudeManagedAccountId:
the accessor falls through to it, a direct read of the runtime map does not. The
gate would then refuse a launch the policy would have run under host-1 — and in
the mirror case a session could be admitted under a policy computed from a
different account than the gate approved.

Read the same settings through the same accessor so agreement is structural
rather than coincidental, and drop the controller accessor that existed only to
reach the snapshot.

No behaviour change for any state both already agreed on; Codex is untouched.

* Round-3 review fixes: N-1 empty-value regression, N-2 gate leak window, N-4 lost history

N-1: my presence-based conflict predicate refused a terminal launch that works
today. 'ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=' is how a user blanks a variable and the settings
pipeline preserves that empty value; an empty override cannot beat the pinned
account and the strip removes the name anyway. Back to truthiness for the value,
keeping the win32 case folding.
N-2: enter the live-auth gate only after the exit/close handlers that release it,
so no throw in between can leave an entry nothing reconciles.
N-4: the Claude transcript resolver searches config-dir-then-default and de-dupes,
matching the Codex sibling in the same file, so adopting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR no
longer hides history written before it.

* Run the managed-account gate on every Claude acquisition, not just create

createSupport gates the create path, but a session's account state can change
while it lives. A reacquire after an unexpected child exit re-resolves the
launch and re-derives auth, with nothing re-checking the gate — so a session
created while supported could come back up in the refused shape. With the strip
predicate keyed on there being an active non-WSL account, the WSL-only user's
normalized steady state (accounts exist, none active) does not strip, and that
reacquire reaches the child with ambient auth while the UI names the account.

Gate at resolveLaunch, the one choke point every acquisition passes through,
refusing with the pre-spawn error the caller already handles. Same predicate as
create-time, now sharing one settings reader so the two cannot drift.

Claude only; Codex resolves its account on a different path and is untouched.

The runtime class that wires this does not typecheck its own `this` calls — a
missing hookup compiles clean — so the wiring is pinned behaviourally rather
than trusted to the compiler.

* Move the structured Claude gate out of the @ts-nocheck runtime files

Both call sites of the managed-account gate sat in files whose first line is
`// @ts-nocheck`, so neither was typechecked: three arguments to a one-argument
function plus an undeclared identifier compiled clean. New auth-identity
decision logic had no compiler behind it.

Move the verdict into a checked module that takes the two facts the runtime
owns — the adapter's answer and a settings getter — and decides. The runtime
class now only forwards. Move the gate reader's construction into the checked
installer too, so the nocheck file passes a plain settings closure and never
names a gate symbol.

Every reference to the gate predicate and its reader now lives in a checked
file, so the ablation that used to pass silently is a compile error at both the
create-support and reacquire sites.

Removing the file-level @ts-nocheck is a separate, larger job and is not
attempted here.

* Derive the gate test's auth policy from the settings under test

A hardcoded stripAuthEnv asserts a gate/policy pairing production cannot
produce, and false additionally lets launch.env inherit the runner's real
process.env. Derive via claudeStructuredAuthPolicyForSettings instead: the
gate settings type is the same Pick the policy takes, and both resolve the
account through getSelectedClaudeAccountIdForTarget.

* Pin the absent-vs-empty distinction in the managed-account gate

An empty claudeManagedAccounts array is a real answer: the user has no managed
accounts, nothing claims an identity, and the ambient path is legitimate. A
readable settings object with no such field is settings we failed to parse —
the same unknown as unreadable — so it refuses.

The two are one character apart in the code and the difference is invisible
without the reasoning, so record it at the branch and pin both sides. The test
fails under the obvious "consistency fix" of treating a missing field as empty.

* fix(claude): keep command queue bookkeeping out of the transcript

Claude Code 2.1.258 emits a `command_lifecycle` frame for every uuid-stamped
command it starts, completes or cancels. The frame carries a command uuid and a
state and no content, and the CLI keeps it out of its own transcript -- but it
is absent from the SDK's SDKMessage union and so from Orca's frame catalogue,
where an uncatalogued kind defaults to a substantive row. Every structured turn
therefore painted raw JSON rows into the user-visible transcript.

Catalogue it and disposition it as status chrome. The unknown-kind default stays
`timeline-substantive`: a kind we have never seen is likelier to carry content
than to be chrome, and a visible row we can catalogue later beats content we
silently dropped. A lifecycle state that reads as a failure still surfaces,
because the payload error check in `classifyProviderFrame` outranks the
catalogue.

* fix(claude): let a re-walked descendant become eligible for the forced sweep

A descendant first observed by a capture inside its own birth second could never
be SIGKILLed: `ps lstart` is second-resolution, so that capture cannot rule out
a pid recycled later in the same second, and the merge pinned each retained row
to the boundary of the walk that first saw it. SIGTERM-resistant children forked
in that window were signalled and then never escalated -- they survived close,
quit and restart, reparented to init, and had to be killed by hand.

Advancing that boundary on any later capture would be unsound: a later capture
matching pid, pgid and start-second is exactly what an impostor would also show.
But a capture is not a match -- it is a fresh ppid walk from a root Node pins
through its own handle, so a row it re-derives is proved ours at that instant
without appealing to its start time. Chain the fence from there instead, and
take that walk at the close boundary while the root certainly still lives: the
root may leave inside the grace window, and the post-timeout refresh never runs.

A row absent from the later walk still keeps its earlier boundary, and a row no
walk has ever re-derived in a later second is still never escalated.

* Treat an absent managed-account list as empty, not as unreadable

An empty claudeManagedAccounts array and a missing one are the same answer:
this user has no managed Claude accounts, so nothing claims an identity and
ambient auth is the truth. Refusing on absence strands any profile that simply
never wrote the key, and it disagrees with the auth policy, whose own predicate
takes `(accounts ?? [])` for exactly this reason.

Only settings that cannot be READ stay unknown, and those still refuse — as do
a WSL-bound active account and a selection naming an account the list does not
explain.

The earlier reasoning treated a missing field as settings we failed to parse.
That conflated "not present" with "not readable"; only the second is unknown.

* Support structured Claude when accounts are registered but none is selected

Registered-but-deselected Claude accounts were refused, which is behaviourally
identical to having no accounts at all: the auth policy does not strip, ambient
auth is the truth, and the UI names no host identity. A user who deselected
their accounts silently got legacy chat with nothing explaining why.

Nothing selected for the host runtime is two states the settings cannot tell
apart after the fact, because pruneInvalidClaudeRuntimeSelection empties the
host slot and persists null in the second one:

  honest deselection      -> ambient auth, UI names nothing   -> SUPPORTED
  the WSL-only steady state -> ambient auth, UI names the WSL account -> REFUSED

The presence of any WSL-bound account in the list decides. Simplifying this to
"none active -> supported" re-opens the auth-identity misrepresentation, so the
tests fail loudly on exactly that: five of them, across the unit rule and the
createSupport path.

* Stop treating an unanswerable create-support probe as a refusal

A worktree is not resolvable for a beat after createWorktree resolves, so a
probe fired immediately after creation fails the RPC with selector_not_found
instead of answering. The catch collapsed that into `supported = false`, so the
composer refused and quietly built a terminal session — the gate never said no,
it was never asked successfully. Elapsed time was the only input that decided
whether a Claude launch went structured.

"Could not answer" and "answered no" are different states and only the second
is a verdict. Retry while the host cannot yet resolve the selector, with a
bounded backoff that covers the measured window with margin, and keep refusing
on the first ask for everything else. Fail-closed is unchanged: a probe that
still cannot be answered when the budget is spent refuses.

The retry is narrowed with the shared error-code matcher, which classifies a
token that transports re-wrap into a longer message without matching prose that
merely mentions it.

Codex never probes, so this race has never been able to refuse a Codex launch —
the race itself is identical for it. Recorded at the early return, because
whoever gives Codex a probe inherits the bug.

* fix(claude): fence the forced sweep on re-derivation, not on lstart's second

A descendant forked in the same wall-clock second as every walk that sees it was
signalled with SIGTERM and then never escalated, so a SIGTERM-resistant child
survived tab close, app quit and a full relaunch. Two children of one parent
96ms apart across a second boundary took opposite paths. The leak predates this
branch: it reproduces with the change reverted.

`ps lstart` has one-second resolution, so a walk landing inside a row's birth
second can never rule out a pid recycled later in that same second. But a walk
is not a match: a ppid walk only reaches what the root actually parents, and the
root is pinned by Node's own handle, so a row the walk re-derived is ours
whatever second it was born in -- a stranger would have to have been forked into
our tree, and then it is not a stranger. Fence the escalation on that.

Rows a merge retained from an earlier walk are not re-derived and still answer
to the start-time fence, which remains correct for them.

Scoped to callers that revalidate identity before signalling, which is the
Claude close path. Codex teardown reaches this same verifier and is unchanged;
the argument holds there too, but widening it is its own deliberate change.

Also reverts two changes from the previous attempt at this leak. Advancing the
capture boundary on a later walk is inert once the sweep fences on re-derivation
-- both key on the same set of rows, so the new term short-circuits for exactly
the rows whose boundary it advanced. The extra ladder refresh was a duplicate
full process-table read: close() already awaits tree.refresh() immediately
before proveClaudeChildExit, on the only path that reaches it.

Known property: the kill lands roughly a grace window after the walk that proved
membership, so a pid recycled inside that gap could in principle be signalled.
It is bounded -- matchingSnapshotRows already requires the live row to carry the
same start-second and pgid, so an impostor must be born in the remainder of that
one second, land on that exact pid, and sit in the same process group, and it
has already received the unfenced SIGTERM from the same loop.

* Run the Claude structured integration suite as a runtime client

The suite exercises agentSession.* for Claude, not the mobile surface: nothing
in it asserts anything mobile-specific and its sibling integration suites use
'runtime'. Mobile now additionally requires the experimental structured-chat
setting, which structured-agent-session.test.ts pins in both states, so the
stale 'mobile' fixture was claiming coverage it never had.

* fix(claude): report effort from get_settings, which is the only frame that has it

The composer's Effort pill rendered blank in every structured session. This is
not a missing source: the publication reads `effortLevel` off the `system/init`
frame, and that frame has never carried an effort of any kind, while the correct
value is already fetched at acquisition and thrown away on the auth diagnostic.
Verified two ways -- a live get_settings probe against Claude Code 2.1.258, and
the shipped binary's own init frame construction, which lists `model` and no
effort. So `reportedOptions.effort` was always empty, the options reader dropped
the key, and the pill had no value. Model survived only because
`currentModelId()` has a fallback chain.

The get_settings call acquisition already makes reports the session's current
effort as `effective.effortLevel`; pass that into the publication instead.
Selecting an effort already worked, so this is the arrival value only.

The legacy PTY path is unaffected and must not be "fixed" to match: it reads its
effort by parsing the startup banner (`CLAUDE_MODEL_EFFORT` in
src/renderer/src/components/native-chat/claude-terminal-session-options.ts),
which is why it shows a value where the structured path does not.

Also removes the fixture that hid this: the fake init frame invented
`effortLevel: 'high'`, a field the CLI does not send, which is why every gate
stayed green over a value that is always empty in production. The fixture's
get_settings now returns the real {applied, effective, sources} shape instead of
a bare `{env: {}}`, so the two adapter tests that asserted an effort keep
asserting it through the path production actually uses.

The reader returns null rather than defaulting: an effort nothing measured would
repeat the fixture's mistake, and a blank pill is the honest degradation if the
provider ever renames the key.

* fix(claude): only record an effort the child confirms it adopted

apply_flag_settings answers `success` for an effort it then ignores. Measured
against Claude Code 2.1.258: applying `bogus-effort-xyz` returns
subtype "success" with no error while `applied.effort` stays at its previous
value, and a valid `low` moves it. The option write treated the absence of a
throw as adoption and recorded the requested value unconditionally, so Orca
would show and persist an effort the child was not using, with nothing anywhere
reporting a problem.

Read the effort back after applying it, through the same reader the arrival
value uses, and reject when the child reports a different one. A readback that
could not be taken is not evidence of a refusal -- the apply itself succeeded --
so it still records; only a readback that disagrees rejects.

Not reachable from today's picker, which offers catalog values only, but the
CLI's effort catalog is server-delivered and has changed before, so a retired id
would otherwise become a pill confidently displaying a setting that never took.

* test(claude): assert the effort contract against the real binary

The blank pill survived every gate because the only tests that touched it were
fixture-backed, and the fixture invented the field. A test that pins the shape
we read cannot catch the provider renaming the key, which is the failure mode
that produced this defect.

Asserts both halves against a live authenticated CLI: that no frame it publishes
carries an effort at all, and that the session's current effort arrives through
get_settings. Which frame proves the session varies by host -- this machine
proves it with a SessionStart hook rather than a system/init frame -- so the
negative half asserts over every published frame rather than picking one.

Skips with the rest of the file when no authenticated CLI is present.

* fix(claude): stop the synthesised content-part kinds leaking into the transcript

Sending an image put a bare `claude · message:user:content:image` row between
the user's bubble and the answer. Two causes, and only the second is a family.

An image part counted as modelled only when `source.type === 'url'`, but
claudeDispatchMessageContent sends a local attachment as a base64 source and the
CLI replays that shape back, so every attached image was classified unmodelled.
Accept the base64 and file sources Orca itself sends.

The family is the real defect. `message:<role>:content:<type>` kinds are
synthesised at runtime from whatever `part.type` arrives, so unlike the
top-level frame catalogue they can never be enumerated ahead of time -- the
`?? 'timeline-substantive'` default then prints the synthesised name at a user
who cannot act on it. That default is right for top-level frames, where
"substantive" means show the frame; here it meant show our own vocabulary, which
drops the content AND leaks the opcode.

So an unrenderable part now renders a sentence saying exactly that, with the
kind and payload still on the row's disclosure. A part that carries its own
readable sentence keeps it -- the placeholder is a fallback, not an override.

An unknown future part type is therefore visible, never silently dropped and
never printed as a kind: the same principle as the effort readback, which
records only what the provider confirms.

* Declare agentSession.requestHandoff on the cross-version wire surface

The manifest is a ratchet for cross-version reachability, so the method is
declared with real HandoffParams rather than counted. requestHandoff is
capability-gated through requireStructuredHost and has no client caller, so
declaring it is the whole of the change.

Also model two host capabilities the harness omitted: the stub host's
supportsCreate, and the fake adapter's, without which adapterSupportsCreate
falls through to a supportsLocation the fake also lacks. Every ensure was
refused for the harness's silence rather than for its location.

* Gate structured Claude session tabs on the client capability that names them

The Claude structured lane deleted the projection's `agent !== 'codex'`
filter and added CLAUDE_STRUCTURED_AGENT_SESSION_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY in the
same commit, but never wired the constant to anything. Paired clients then
received agent-session tabs for Claude, which no shipped client renders --
mobile's resolveMobileNativeChat returns null for every agent but codex, so
the row listed and selected into a pane with neither chat nor terminal.

Restore the filter behind the declared capability instead of the bare agent
name. No client advertises it yet, so this matches main's behaviour today
and becomes a negotiation a future client can opt into.

* Confirm the structured Claude model against the model the CLI reports

set_model answers success for any string, including a model it cannot
resolve — the failure only surfaces when the turn runs — and get_settings
reports the settings-file model, not the session's. The init frame that
opens each turn is the only channel carrying the adopted model, so keep
the session's reported model current from it instead of reading it once
at acquisition.

Also stop rejecting an effort the readback cannot represent: max is
session-scoped and excluded from the persisted effortLevel, so a readback
reporting the level underneath it is an absence of evidence, not a refusal.

* Clear the session-option hedge when the provider confirms the value

The pill claimed every option was unconfirmed for the life of the session:
the renderer recorded each write as dispatched and nothing ever moved it,
so a model the CLI had already reported back still read as unconfirmed.

Carry the provider's own confirmation to the surface. Main reports which
option ids the provider named rather than merely accepted, and the client
re-reads options as a turn changes, because the frame that opens a turn is
where the adopted model arrives. A value the provider has not reported
stays hedged, including an effort whose readback could not be taken.

The confirmed list is optional on the wire: a host that predates it sends
nothing and the client keeps hedging, which is the behaviour it had.

* Keep the model report current across an acquisition fence bump

* Show the picked session-option value and let the provider report correct it

The pill showed a "not confirmed" second tooltip line for any value we had sent
but not yet seen reported back. Nothing acts on it, and for the PTY lane it was
permanent — that transport has no report channel. The pill now shows the picked
value immediately and the provider's per-turn report corrects it when the two
disagree; a newer local write still outranks a report that precedes it.

`dispatched` stays as a provenance member rather than collapsing into `applied`:
it is produced independently by the PTY lane, and it is where the `confirmed`
wire field lands, which would otherwise be unobservable.

Effort keeps its readback and its rejection path. That matters more now, not
less: with the hedge gone the rejection is the only user-visible failure signal
on this surface, so a spurious one would be the loudest bug here. Skipping the
readback for an effort the settings response structurally cannot echo is what
prevents it — the response carries the persisted level, so reading it back for a
session-scoped value would report the level underneath and fail a valid write.

* Hedge a session-option value only when the terminal transport sent it

Both lanes emit `dispatched`, so it could never say which one produced a value.
The descriptor now carries the transport that built it, set once in the shared
snapshot builder from a parameter that is required rather than defaulted — the
builder is the only place a descriptor is constructed, so a new producer has to
name its lane or fail to compile.

The structured lane confirms every value from the provider's own per-turn report,
which makes the hedge transient noise there. The terminal lane can only learn an
outcome by parsing the screen back, and only for Claude: every other agent's
`dispatched` value stays unconfirmed for the life of the session, so the line is
the only signal that we sent something we never saw land.

* Refuse an effort the session's model advertises no control for

* Refuse tab mutations on a Claude row the client never negotiated

The branch added a case asserting a client advertising only
agent-session.structured.v1 may mutate a claude row. That is the same
ungated behaviour the projection gate removes, encoded a second time —
mutation authorization reads the projection, so hiding the row refuses
the write. Assert that contract instead, and add the positive case for a
client that does negotiate Claude rows.

* Resolve the Claude session's current model in one place so the effort guard and the pill agree

* Record an effort the child did not adopt instead of refusing the write

apply_flag_settings answers success for an effort it then ignores, so the
readback exists to detect that. Refusing on it made the detection a veto,
and a veto is only correct if the readback can never be wrong about which
model is current -- which it was, twice. The pre-flight guard already
refuses a level the model advertises no control for, so the veto guarded a
door that is now locked upstream.

Keep the detection, drop the refusal: a disagreement records the child's
own answer and omits the option from confirmed, so main stops vouching for
a value the provider rejected without blocking the user's write.

* Stop a slow whole-machine ps from being read as an absent process

`ps -axo ...command=` pays a per-pid argv read: measured 1.15s for 1,948
processes (0.03s without `command=`), and CPU contention stretched the same
capture to 6.0s. Two budgets sized for a cheap look then misreport a readable
machine.

The reader's 3s ceiling killed 6 of 20 consecutive captures at load 27, so
every consumer answered "unverifiable" about a table it could read. Raise it
to 15s, and stamp the capture instant at ps START so `capturedAgeMs` is the
upper bound its contract promises -- a 6s capture used to report itself as
freshly taken, understating staleness against a 5s kill gate. The TTL keys on
completion so a slow capture still coalesces instead of forking ps per caller.

`readStructuredTuiProcessIdentity` then spent its whole 5s wait inside one
capture and concluded "no exact child" after a single look taken before the
child existed (observed landing at ~3.5s). Absence needs a look that did not
race the spawn, so require two captures before the deadline can end the loop.

Both surfaced by the real-binary Claude TUI resume test, which failed ~1 in 5
under load; 14/14 now, 8 of those runs containing a capture the old 3s budget
would have killed.

* Let the desktop renderer negotiate Claude structured tabs

The paired-client gate hides agent-session rows an agent the client cannot
render. The desktop renderer's own IPC dispatches as clientKind 'runtime'
advertising only agent-session.structured.v1, so the gate hid Claude rows
from the surface this feature ships on. It renders them; it should say so.

* Stop a slow process table from silently blinding every freshness gate

Stamping `capturedAgeMs` at ps START made the number honest, and honest broke
both consumers that read it. `ps -axo ...command=` measured 2.5-9.0s on an idle
2,002-process laptop and 4.0-18.6s at load 46, so the age it now reports lands
past every budget: `planRelayPtySweep` refuses the stop as "too old", and the
renderer's `admitRemoteForegroundEvidence` refuses the record outright. That
second one is the expensive half and was outside the diff -- a refusal bumps
`consecutiveInspectionErrors`, the poll scheduler backs off to its 10s floor,
and agent-completion detection stops for the pane. The subsystem went blind on
exactly the loaded hosts the honest stamp was meant to serve.

The evidence-publishing read now gives up at 1,200ms instead of waiting out
`PS_TIMEOUT_MS`. It is one budget for one question: these consumers ask whether
an observation describes NOW, and past this it does not -- a late answer is
refused by the age gate anyway, having first blocked a polled path for the whole
capture, so a prompt `unverifiable` is both the truthful verdict and the cheap
one. Both relay call sites already produce it from a rejection, and an admitted
`unverifiable` costs a poll where a refusal costs the cadence. Identity proof
keeps the full 15s through `getFreshProcessTableSnapshot`, because it asks
whether a process EXISTS and must never read slow as absent. The budget bounds
the wait, never the capture: the reader coalesces, so an abandoned wait leaves
its capture running to fill the cache rather than forking a second whole-machine
`ps` on the host that can least afford one.

1,200ms is bracketed rather than picked. The floor is the capture's own cost --
`command=` measured 1.15s for 1,948 processes on an idle host, and a budget
under that answers `unverifiable` about a machine nobody is straining. The
ceiling is the consumer's: 2,000ms, less the 500ms a TTL-shared capture may
already have aged, leaves 1,500ms, and transit takes the rest.

That ceiling only fits once the capture stops being charged twice. `ps` runs
inside the RPC round trip, so its duration is already in `receiveDelay`, and
`capturedAgeMs` is that same duration on the host's clock; summing them halved
the budget this gate grants a host from ~2.0s of `ps` to ~1.0s, which is why a
1.2s capture arriving at 1.3s read as 2.5s old and was refused. Admission now
takes the larger of the two. The sweep's gate keeps its sum, which is correct
there: `evidenceAgeSinceListingMs` is stamped after the listing ARRIVES, so it
measures planning time and overlaps nothing.

A stated limit rather than an assumed one: 15s is not proven sufficient for
identity proof. The same capture reached 18.6s at load 46, so that path can
still time out and answer "no exact child" about a host it simply could not read
in time. Narrowing it needs a cheaper question than a whole-machine argv read,
not a larger number.

The one test guarding this field could not fail. `beginPtyHandlerTest` installs
fake timers, so `Date.now()` is frozen, the real reader reports exactly +0, and
`0 <= 500` held identically for a hardcoded zero, for completion-stamping and
for start-stamping -- while the real reader on that host returns thousands of
ms. It now drives a measured age in and asserts the handler publishes it rather
than restamping; that the reader MEASURES it correctly stays pinned separately,
against a controllable clock. Both consumers get boundary coverage either side,
and each new gate was ablated red before it went green.

* Keep the compatibility fields off the capture the budget just abandoned

inspectProcess falls back to processHasChildren and listProcesses to
getForegroundProcessName, and both read the same TTL-shared capture with
no budget of their own. On a slow host they joined the in-flight capture
the budgeted evidence read had just given up on, so the call still blocked
for the full 6-18s and the budget bought nothing -- once for inspectProcess
and once per managed PTY for listProcesses.

Use the degraded answers those helpers already give for an unreadable
table, reached promptly. pty.hasChildProcesses keeps its unbudgeted fresh
probe: it is a one-shot destructive gate that can afford to wait.

Neil 264c9ed8d2 fix(browser-pane): stop a dead client-hosted guest from killing the workbench (#18334)
* fix(browser): stop a dead client-hosted guest taking down the workbench

ClientHostedBrowserPagePane called raw <webview> methods from two React effects, so a
guest that is gone throws out of a commit phase and unwinds the terminal.workbench
error boundary instead of showing the pane's own unavailable notice.

Two runtime conditions, two guards:
- Guest destroyed in main while the tag is still in the DOM: the tag keeps its
  guestInstanceId, so every read throws 'Invalid guestInstanceId'. The metadata read is
  now total and the attach effect degrades to browser_client_page_guest_unavailable.
- Retained tag removed from the DOM while the pane stays mounted: contentWindow is null,
  so focus() throws a TypeError. The activation-focus hook now goes through the
  BrowserPageGuestFocus wrapper the pane already builds, which has carried that guard
  since STA-3448.

Follow-up, not in this change: the registry's liveness check compares
readBrowserClientPageAttachedGuestId(webview) to page.webContentsId, which still matches
after main destroys the guest, so a stale 'attached' page can linger.

* fix(browser): keep the dead-guest degrade honest — no spinner, no silent swallow

Review remediation for the guest guards.

- The attach bail now writes `loading: false` before setting
  browser_client_page_guest_unavailable, matching what retryGuestRecoveryRef already does on
  the pane's own route into that state. A page that died mid-load carries `loading: true` in
  the store, so without it the unavailable notice rendered beside a spinner nothing would
  ever stop. Uses the existing updatePageStateFromGuest effect event, not a new setter.
- The dead-guest condition is no longer silent: the metadata read logs the caught error under
  the subsystem's `[browser-client-page]` warn convention, and the attach bail records a
  `browser_client_page_guest_unavailable` crash breadcrumb via the existing
  recordRendererCrashBreadcrumb. Renderer diagnostics only capture window error/rejection, so
  the breadcrumb is what puts this on a channel crash reports actually carry — the registry
  liveness defect this change deliberately does not fix stays measurable, and a read failure
  that is not `Invalid guestInstanceId` is no longer indistinguishable from a dead guest.
- onFailLoad no longer pays five sync IPCs per discarded event: resolveBrowserWebviewLoadFailure
  accepts a lazy fallbackUrl and resolves it after the subframe/ERR_ABORTED filter. Covered by
  a new case in browser-webview-load-failure.test.ts.

Correction to the previous commit's narrative: only the metadata half reaches
browser_client_page_guest_unavailable. The focus half reaches no state at all — the guarded
BrowserPageGuestFocus wrapper returns false and the pane stays mounted over a webview the
registry already removed from the DOM, with no notice and no reopen-on-server escape. It stops
the crash; it does not diagnose the page.

Not changed, with reasons:
- The two sibling attach bails (renderer-unavailable, attach threw) omit the same `loading`
  write. That predates this branch and neither is reached by the dead-guest path; fixing them
  is a separate change.
- recordHistoryFromGuest still passes a raw `webview.getTitle()`. Substituting `metadata.title`
  is not behaviour-preserving: metadata.title falls back to the URL, so an untitled page would
  be filed in history under its URL instead of "New Tab". The call runs only after a five-read
  succeeded and sits in a DOM event listener, which cannot unwind a React commit.

* fix(browser): route every client-hosted guest death to the unavailable notice

A dead guest could still leave the pane mute (retained tag fenced on
render-process-gone/destroyed with no signal to the pane), spinning forever
(did-start-loading read bailing after loading:true), or frozen at stale chrome
(navigation reads bailing silently). All of those now go through one watcher
that detaches, releases the webview ref and enters the pane's existing
browser_client_page_guest_unavailable recovery state, so the user always sees
the notice with its reopen-on-server escape.

The total catch in the guest reader now records a
browser_client_page_guest_read_failed breadcrumb with the error name/message,
so a swallowed failure that is not guest death stays distinguishable in
diagnostics; the guest_unavailable breadcrumb carries the loss reason.

* fix(browser): finish dead guest cleanup and guard history reads

Neil d3501f7ad6 fix(worktrees): stop a failed worktree scan from being recorded as an authoritative empty listing (#18456)
* fix(worktrees): stop a failed worktree scan from pruning as an authoritative empty listing

A `git worktree list` that could not run at all — a WSL distro that stopped
resolving, a hung mount, a git binary that errored — was softened to `[]` by the
lenient listing path, so the detected scan published it as
`authoritative: true, worktrees: []`. That disables the #1158 retention guard,
drops every persisted tab for the repo, and the pruned session is written back to
disk on the next launch. The loss is permanent, not a transient glitch.

Route the detected scan through a strict listing that still reports the two
genuinely empty states (repo path gone, not a Git repo) as `[]`. Everything else
rejects, so the existing catch answers `authoritative: false` and the destructive
halves (`rememberLocalWorktreeRoots`, `pruneLineageForMissingRepoWorktrees`)
never see a failed scan.

Also make the failure readable: wsl.exe reports its own launch failures as exit
0xFFFFFFFF with an EMPTY stderr and the `Wsl/Service/WSL_E_*` line on stdout as
UTF-16LE, which is why the field bundle carried a git error with no text. Set
WSL_UTF8 for WSL-routed git (matching the wsl runner, #9010) and attach that
stdout diagnostic to the error so `git.exec` spans name the cause.

* fix(worktrees): surface a failed worktree scan's cause on the repo header with a retry

A failed scan now travels with its reason (optional unavailableReason on
DetectedWorktreeListResult), the repo header shows it with click-to-retry,
and the WSL deleted-guest-directory shape measured on a real Windows host is
pinned as retained-not-pruned.

Jinwoo Hong b6f453df06 perf(relay): per-cell inventory locks, delta counters, and a pool statement timeout (#18722)
The sticky refresh path and reservation reconciliation both took the fleet-wide
`relay_cells ... FOR UPDATE` scan to mutate one or two rows, so one busy cell
queued unrelated reconnects and migration completions behind it. Both now lock
only the rows they touch, in the same ascending cell_id order, and the sticky
grant moves its counter by a delta instead of writing back a snapshot value.

Placement keeps the ordered inventory lock: choosing the least-loaded cell is a
genuinely fleet-wide decision, and dynamically locking only the selected target
is what allowed cross-cell cycles before.

The pool's statement_timeout becomes env-configurable and a 57014 now reaches
the bounded transaction retry instead of surfacing as a terminal failure.
Schema DDL moves to its own `max: 1`, statement_timeout-free pool that is ended
before the serving pool opens, so a slow CREATE INDEX cannot inherit a request
deadline it will never fit inside.

Neil 901c6771ff fix(agents): detect agent CLIs installed outside a version manager (#18336)
* fix(agents): detect agent CLIs installed outside a version manager

The install-dir fallback that answers "is this agent installed?" when the
login-shell PATH probe fails listed only version-manager bin dirs, so
codex/opencode/cursor-agent installed by Homebrew, npm's default global
prefix, snap, nix, or the CLI's own installer read as not installed.

Where this is decisive, corrected from the previous message: the `orca` CLI,
whose detectSkillsCliAgentKeys (src/cli/handlers/skills.ts) calls
detectCommandsInInstallDirs directly and whose entry point seeds no PATH, plus
unpackaged/dev runs. NOT the packaged desktop app: patchPackagedProcessPath
(configure-process.ts:114) appends /opt/homebrew/bin, /usr/local/bin,
~/.opencode/bin and the Linux/nix prefixes onto process.env.PATH at
main-process-preflight.ts:147, before any detection, and mergePathSegments
preserves them, so the PATH scan reaches those dirs first and this fallback
never fires for them. That means this does NOT explain the packaged macOS
v1.4.194 report of codex/cursor-agent/opencode all undetected -- that report
stays open and uninvestigated.

Second correction: the fallback now carries the prefixes Homebrew actually
uses on Linux (/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin), plus /snap/bin and the two nix
profile dirs, matching what patchPackagedProcessPath already seeds. The WSL
guest prelude gains the same entries. Leaving them out closed the native/WSL
asymmetry on darwin only, on the platforms where the fallback is decisive.

Appended last so a version-manager install still wins, and kept out of
getVersionManagerBinPaths, whose result is PREPENDED to PATH (#18234). Lives in
its own module so node-cli-command-resolution.ts stays under max-lines.

The test stages every path through `join` and asserts via
detectCommandsInInstallDirs as well as resolveCliCommands, so it holds on a
Windows dev machine and pins the "absolute path means installed" contract.

* fix(agents): align system install-dir order across the three PATH lists

Round-2 review remediation. The blocking finding was about the handoff
artifact, not the code: the summary handed to review described a 2-file/+38
change with 3 new macOS dirs, while HEAD is 4 files/+227 with 6 lookup dirs
plus 5 new WSL-guest prelude entries, and the quoted failing test names never
existed. Restated against HEAD in the handoff; no rebuttal, the reviewer was
right.

Justification for the entries the summary never described: the fallback exists
to close the native/WSL asymmetry for a CLI no version manager installed, and
patchPackagedProcessPath already seeds Linuxbrew, /snap/bin and both nix
profile dirs (configure-process.ts:141-158). Shipping only the darwin subset
would have left a Linux or WSL user with a snap/nix install still reading as
not installed while the packaged macOS user did not -- the asymmetry the change
is for.

Code changes, all from the non-blocking list:

- The three lists disagreed on order while claiming to be kept in step, so a
  CLI in both /usr/local/bin and /snap/bin could resolve to a different binary
  than the seeded PATH scan or the WSL guest probe found. All three now use the
  seed's relative order, pinned by a new duplicate-install test and an offset
  assertion on the prelude. The prelude's system block also moved after the nvm
  glob so a version manager still wins in the guest, as it does natively.
- The parity docstring asserted "the same set patchPackagedProcessPath appends,
  minus the sbin dirs and the generic ~/bin", which was false: it also omits
  ~/.vite-plus/bin (seeded by configure-process.ts:156, but no probed agent
  command maps to it) and /opt/homebrew off darwin. All three gaps are now
  named as deliberate.
- win32 returns [] and stays that way, but the branch now says why:
  %USERPROFILE%\.opencode\bin has never had install-dir coverage in either
  list, and the seed's system block is POSIX-only too. Pre-existing, unchanged.
- The detectCommandsInInstallDirs case read the ambient process.env.PATH, so on
  a box with /usr/local/bin on PATH only the opencode assertion exercised the
  fallback. It now stubs the GUI-launch PATH, so both do.

Unchanged and restated: this does NOT explain the packaged macOS v1.4.194
report of codex/cursor-agent/opencode all undetected, and must not close G6
report #3. patchPackagedProcessPath returns early unless app.isPackaged and
seeds all six dirs before any detection, and mergePathSegments never deletes
them, so the packaged PATH scan reaches them first and this fallback never
fires there. Decisive only for the `orca` CLI's detectSkillsCliAgentKeys and
unpackaged/dev runs.

Verification: the suite is red without the production hunks (5 failed/3 passed)
and green with them (8 passed); 11 related suites pass (197 tests); tc:node,
tc:cli, oxlint, oxfmt and the max-lines ratchet are clean.

* fix(agents): correct the ordering-parity claims and widen the seed-leak guard

Round-3 review found two docstring claims that are false as written and one
guard that only asserted a third of its list.

- system-cli-install-dirs.ts claimed a CLI in two of these dirs resolves the
  same here as in the packaged PATH seed. True inside the system block, false
  across it: `claude` in both ~/.local/bin and /opt/homebrew/bin resolves to
  ~/.local/bin via the fallback (getBaseVersionManagerDirectories leads) and to
  /opt/homebrew/bin via the seed, which appends ~/.local/bin last. Scope the
  claim to the block and name the gap instead of asserting it away. No behavior
  change: closing it would hoist a system dir over a version-manager one
  (#18234).
- posix-version-manager-bin-dirs.ts justified moving "/usr/local/bin" after the
  nvm glob with "a version manager still wins in the guest, as it does
  natively". The glob expands lexicographically; native orders nvm dirs
  default-alias-first (#10932), so that is not parity. Record the move as the
  one behavior change in the file and bound it: entries are appended behind a
  resolved login PATH, and both consumers only test presence.
- The #18234 seed-leak guard asserted only /opt/homebrew/bin and /usr/local/bin
  were absent from getVersionManagerBinPaths, leaving the four other new dirs
  unpinned. It now spells out all seven across darwin and linux -- spelled out
  rather than derived from getSystemCliInstallDirectories, which would pass
  vacuously against exactly the refactor it guards.

Tests 8 passed (8); 5 failed / 3 passed with the production hunks reverted to
origin/main. tsc node + cli clean, oxlint clean.

* fix(agents): find Pi's own installer dir in the CLI install-dir fallback

The fallback added `~/.opencode/bin` but skipped `~/.vite-plus/bin` on the
claim that no probed agent command maps to it. False: `pi` is a probed detect
command on every runtime (`tui-agent-config.ts`, no `detectUnsupportedRuntimes`)
and `~/.vite-plus/bin` is the Pi installer's default — the two dirs #829 named
and `patchPackagedProcessPath` seeds together. Added to both the native
fallback and the WSL guest prelude, so a Pi installed by its own script is
found by the `orca` CLI and in WSL, not just on a seeded packaged PATH.

Also, all narrower:
- `/snap/bin` + Linuxbrew now gate on `linux` like the seed does, instead of
  every non-darwin posix.
- Docstring: `/opt/homebrew` off darwin is the one remaining seed gap and says
  why; the "lookup-only" paragraph names the `withCliRuntimeOnPath` exception.
- New seed-order test derives the expected order from
  `getSystemCliInstallDirectories`, so reordering either list fails.

The PR body's claim that SSH hosts benefit is dropped: they answer
`preflight.detectAgents` from `src/relay/preflight-handler.ts` via
`isCommandOnPathForRelay`, a separate bundle that never reaches this module.

* fix(agents): build the CLI install-dir fallback order once and pin it on both resolvers

resolveCliCommand (every spawn site) and resolveCliCommands (detection) each
spelled the nvm -> version-manager -> system-dir order by hand, which is how
the native and WSL lists drifted apart before. One getCliInstallDirectories
now feeds both, and the test pins system dirs LAST on both resolvers, on
darwin and linux, plus a derived check that the WSL guest prelude keeps every
native version-manager dir ahead of the native system block.

Jinwoo Hong 8f1e64471e fix(relay-ops): a thrown health fetch is not a health reading; auth probe does not require /ready (#18723)
The active probe recorded a network-layer failure as `false`, so a single
thrown fetch on the runner froze the production monitor at `auth.health=0`
while the service answered 200 throughout. It also required `/ready` on the
auth endpoint, which serves no such path, forcing every auth sample onto the
11s retry.

A thrown fetch now means "no reading" and is re-asked once after 1s; only a
second throw, or a non-ok response, yields false. `requiresReady` is threaded
per endpoint (director and cells true, auth false). Latency now measures the
answering round trip rather than probe wall time, so retry delays are not
reported as serving latency.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim f4c2821167 refactor(agent-session-journal): move the session journal onto SQLite (#18652)
* refactor(agent-session-journal): move the session journal onto SQLite

The agent-session journal kept its state in three hand-rolled file formats: an
append-only `log.jsonl` with torn-tail repair, a `snapshot.json` holding folded
state plus a retained tail, and byte-quarantine files for anything unreadable.
This replaces all of it with one SQLite database per session — `journal.db`
beside the existing `blobs/` store — using the in-house adapter and the
open/pragma/migrate/harden pattern the orchestration database already follows.

Two tables: `journal_rows` (the append-only log, keyed by
`(session_id, epoch, seq)`) and `journal_sessions` (the derived projection,
upserted in the SAME transaction as every insert). Rows stay JSON in one
column, so the row schema, the version upcast chain, and the reducer survive
byte for byte — `journal-reducer.test.ts` and four other suites pass unchanged
and are the regression proof.

Deleted: `journal-log-file.ts`, `journal-compaction.ts`,
`journal-corruption-quarantine.ts`, and the public `compact()` /
`compactionBoundary` / `autoCompact` members, none of which had a non-test
caller.

Existing `log.jsonl` / `snapshot.json` journals are deliberately abandoned. No
importer: a session created on the old path stops working, which is acceptable
because the feature is off by default.

## The physical quota is repriced, because SQLite does not charge like a file

The 256 MiB per-session bound is unchanged, but the arithmetic under it could
not survive: SQLite grows the database in pages and the WAL in frames, and the
checkpoint that copies the WAL forward holds the same pages in both files at
once, so a transaction's peak is about twice its content. Admission now charges
the candidate transaction's own measured page cost, validated against a sweep
that runs as a regression test (`journal-database-space.test.ts`) rather than
derived from reasoning about the allocator.

Four things are load-bearing rather than tuning, each measured:

- `auto_vacuum = INCREMENTAL` must be set BEFORE `journal_mode = WAL`. Set it
  after and it is ignored with no error, reclamation silently becomes a no-op,
  and the file never shrinks again. Both halves are asserted.
- `wal_autocheckpoint = 0` plus an explicit `wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)` at the
  end of every write path, so the one moment the same pages live in two files is
  a moment the charge accounts for.
- Reclamation runs in bounded chunks. A single unbounded `incremental_vacuum`
  took a 252 MB directory to 504 MB — the reclamation added to defend the bound
  would have breached it. `PRAGMA incremental_vacuum(N)` also frees exactly one
  page unless it is stepped to completion, which no size assertion catches, so
  the freed page count is asserted directly.
- A blocked checkpoint leaves the WAL on disk together with the database growth
  it already copied, so admission charges that deferred copy explicitly. The
  term is zero whenever the last checkpoint succeeded, so the uncontended path
  admits and refuses an identical set.

The epoch discard is `DELETE FROM journal_rows` with no WHERE clause, which
takes SQLite's truncate optimization: measured at ~0.26% of the database in WAL
bytes where the `WHERE session_id = ?` form rewrote every emptied leaf at up to
99%. One database per session is what makes the unqualified form correct.

An open, empty journal costs 57,344 bytes before a single row exists, so a
configured quota below `JOURNAL_MIN_SESSION_BYTES` now fails loudly at open with
the existing `journal_bound_exceeded` instead of as a run of identical append
failures. No production caller configures one; the affected surface is test
fixtures, rescaled to the smallest value that restores what each case proves.

## One deliberate behaviour change

Compaction was the only mechanism that shed bytes inside an epoch, and the write
path called it precisely so an append at the bound was not refused. The
SQLite-shaped replacement — a bounded prefix delete — cannot be used: with the
snapshot gone the surviving rows ARE the state, so dropping the oldest of them
loses the oldest transcript silently at the next reopen. So no row is ever shed
inside an epoch, and a session whose row bytes alone reach the bound now refuses
every append where it previously compacted and continued. A loud typed refusal
beats silent data loss.

What still sheds is unreferenced BLOB bytes — the dominant and unbounded byte
source — on the same write-path hook. The escape from the hard stop is the fold
that already exists, `replaceEpochItems`, which now actually returns bytes to
the filesystem instead of leaving them on the freelist.

The prune's protected set is a union of live reducer digests AND the candidate
row's own digests, including those cited only by a nested lifecycle-batch
mutation. Content addressing never rewrites a digest already on disk, so
protecting live state alone deletes the blob the append is about to cite — a
dangling reference that surfaces one reopen later as an empty expansion on an
item the user can see. `journal-store-blob-budget.test.ts` pins it, and it goes
red when the set is narrowed back.

## Handle ownership

A file handle used to be opened and closed per append; a SQLite handle is held
for the session's lifetime. Every path that can open a connection now has one
owner: the open function owns its raw connection until it returns, the store
owns its retained one and releases it in a new `close()`, and every other
connection is closed by the call that opened it. The attach, recovery,
eviction, map-overwrite and host-teardown paths close what they drop, and host
teardown is failure-complete — the sink-barrier flush throws by design, so a
trailing close statement would be skipped on exactly the path that leaks.

`close()` has a stated contract: admission at enqueue and permanent, the close
step on the same queue past that gate, one shared in-flight attempt, fulfilment
terminal, and the release last and deliberately unguarded so a retry re-enters
it. Guarding the release would skip it on retry, guaranteeing a permanent leak
in exactly the case where it did not release.

`journal_closed` joins the error union for a write after `close()`; no file
outside the directory references any of these codes.

* fix(agent-session-journal): make a COMMIT final, stop repairs deleting valid rows, and keep rejected closes retryable

Six review findings on the SQLite journal migration.

1. A successful COMMIT is now the point of no return. The ordinary append,
   the epoch roll and the epoch replacement each adopt the committed row or
   epoch BEFORE any post-commit filesystem work; checkpoint, reclaim, blob
   prune and directory measurement run through `runJournalPostCommit`, which
   is best-effort by design and falls back to the transaction's own charge as
   a conservative footprint. Previously a post-COMMIT scan failure rejected a
   durable append and the next one reused its sequence, and a failed epoch
   housekeeping step left the store writing into a prefix already deleted.

2. Corruption repair preserves instead of destroying. A rejected suffix is
   copied into a new `journal_quarantine` table and removed from the live
   epoch in ONE transaction per chunk, charged against the session bound
   before a byte is written; a journal that cannot afford the copy refuses to
   open rather than falling back to deletion. The repair state is exposed as
   `journal.repair` and the rows are readable through
   `recoverQuarantinedRows()`, so Orca-owned submission, receipt and
   lifecycle identity survives a gap or a malformed row.

3. The physical charge covers the B-tree key payload. `session_id` and
   `epoch` are stored in both tables and both primary-key indexes and appear
   nowhere in `row_json`, so the journal boundary now bounds them and
   `journalTxnPhysicalCost` charges those bounds plus the projection upsert.
   The charge sweep runs the exact production transaction at maximum admitted
   key sizes.

4. A rejected `close()` no longer orphans its handle. Callers hand the
   journal to `agentSessionJournalCloseRetries` instead of swallowing the
   rejection, the attach map replacement is ABORTED when the previous
   journal will not close, host teardown retries what the registry holds, and
   a failed runtime teardown is retained so the next stop is a real retry.

5. `journalWalBytes()` returns zero only for ENOENT and propagates every
   other stat error, so admission and reclamation fail closed.

6. The WAL contention test closes the writer before removing its temp root
   and asserts the directory is removable once handles close.

Regression coverage: post-commit divergence (4), corruption repair (5),
key bounds (5), WAL stat (8), close retry (5), plus a runtime stop-retry
case. Each fix was ablated on this head and the matching tests go red.

* fix(agent-session-journal): anchor replay at sequence 1, make quarantine append-only, and charge it in bytes

Three ways the corruption quarantine still lost rows it was written to keep.

Replay validated contiguity from the first row that HAPPENED to remain, so an
epoch missing only its sequence-1 row declared the leftovers contiguous and set
no `truncateFrom`. The load was still corrupt, so recovery imported provider
history and `replaceEpochItems` deleted every live row — including Orca-minted
submission, receipt and lifecycle identity that no transcript can reconstruct,
and that nothing had quarantined. Replay now anchors at sequence 1, so a missing
epoch row rejects the whole surviving range before any replacement runs.

`journal_quarantine` was keyed on `(session_id, epoch, seq)` and copied with
`INSERT OR REPLACE`. A repair frees the sequences it removed and the live epoch
reuses them, so a second repair in the same epoch silently deleted what the
first preserved. The table is now keyed on a surrogate `quarantine_id`, the copy
is a plain append, and `(epoch, seq)` is metadata; existing v1 databases are
rekeyed in the migration that already bumps `user_version`.

The admission charge read `length(row_json)`, which counts CHARACTERS for a TEXT
value where `journalTxnPhysicalCost` expects physical UTF-8 bytes. A multibyte
suffix was charged at up to a third of what it writes, which defeats the
pre-write physical bound — over a megabyte on a maximum-size lifecycle batch.

* fix(agent-session-journal): keep a repaired epoch anchored and stop the v1 quarantine migration doubling the file

Replay validated numeric contiguity from sequence 1 but never that sequence 1
IS the epoch row. When the anchor was missing the repair set aside every
surviving row, and if provider-history import then failed — a transcript that
is temporarily gone is enough — the journal reopened as a clean, row-less
epoch: an ordinary append took sequence 1, replay accepted it, read-restore
published it as history, and automatic recovery never ran again while the
user's real messages sat in quarantine.

Replay now rejects an unanchored prefix, the open publishes an
`unreconcilable_prefix` anchor for an epoch its repair emptied, and that anchor
keeps reporting corrupt — so provider history is retried on every attach —
until the timeline is rebuilt or the session writes content of its own. A
repair also discloses rows it set aside when no line was unreadable at all,
which is the case that removes the most.

The v1 quarantine rekey copied every legacy row into the new table inside one
transaction and dropped the old one. A quarantine holds whole rejected rows: a
single 8 MiB row nearly doubled the database past the physical bound the open
had already checked, the dropped pages only reached the freelist, and the next
open refused the session it had just migrated. The v1 table is renamed and
frozen instead, and reads take both generations. Table creation also moves
inside the migration transaction, so a crash can no longer leave a v2-shaped
database still reporting version 0 for an older build to write into.

* fix(agent-session-journal): stop an empty provider transcript retiring the repair marker

A transcript that exists but decodes to zero messages was imported as a
success: the import published an empty `legacy_import` replacement that
deleted the `unreconcilable_prefix` anchor and its disclosure, so the next
probe read the session as clean and every later attach skipped provider
recovery while the user's rows sat in quarantine for good.

The import now leaves the epoch untouched when nothing decodes, reporting
`replaced: false`, and recovery treats that like a transcript it could not
read — the marker stands and a later attach with real history rebuilds the
timeline.

* style(agent-session-journal): merge the duplicate journal-database-space import

* refactor(agent-session-journal): drop quarantine, byte bound, blob spill and rate limit

Match what comparable implementations do: the journal is an unbounded
append-only SQLite log with no side tables and no admission control.

Corruption: the rejected suffix is DELETED rather than copied into a
quarantine table. The load still reports `corrupt` and recovery still
rebuilds the epoch from provider history, so the observable outcome is
unchanged — only the preservation half is gone. The schema is back to one
version with two tables; no v1 database exists outside unmerged commits of
this branch, so the rekey migration and the two-generation read path go with
it. Sequence-1 epoch anchoring and the empty-provider-transcript retry are
kept: both are about the corrupt signal being correct.

Size: no `maxSessionBytes`, so no page-cost arithmetic, reclaim band,
incremental vacuum, lifecycle byte reservations or `journal_bound_exceeded`.
`auto_vacuum` and `wal_autocheckpoint = 0` existed only to make a
transaction's physical cost predictable for that charge; with the charge gone
SQLite's default checkpointing is what the journal wants, and the explicit
pre-close checkpoint is redundant with the one `db.close()` performs. WAL,
`synchronous = FULL` and `busy_timeout` stay.

Payloads: an oversized body is truncated at the existing inline cap with the
existing marker and the remainder is discarded, bounded at the translation
layer that already calls these helpers. The truncation point and message do
not change; the content-addressed blob directory and all digest tracking do.

Rate: no `maxAppendsPerWindow` and no `journal_rate_exceeded`.

`JournalPayloadLimits` is now just the inline cap.

* fix(agent-session-journal): mark a partial repair pending and bound multi-block tool input

A repair that keeps its prefix had nothing durable to show for the suffix it
deleted: a sequence gap costs no malformed row, so no disclosure is appended,
and the surviving rows keep their epoch anchor. The next probe read a
contiguous anchored prefix, called it clean, and the deleted stretch of
timeline was never asked for again — silent loss, with the deletion already
committed. The deletion now writes a `journal_repairs` marker in the SAME
transaction, and replay keeps reporting corrupt while it stands. It retires
under exactly the rule the emptied-epoch anchor takes: a fresh epoch carries
the rebuild, or the session writes content of its own past the sequence the
repair left free. The repair's own disclosure is not that content.

Legacy import bounded a tool call's input only when it was the message's sole
block; the multi-block path returned `tool-call` unchanged, so a mixed message
from Claude, Grok or an omp execution cell persisted the whole input despite
`inlineHeadBytes`. `boundBlock` now routes it through `boundToolInput`.

Also drops canonical comments describing quarantine, snapshot files, blob
storage and blob compaction — none of which exist any more.

* fix(agent-session-wire): stop awaiting the synchronous journal probe

loadJournal runs on a sync-database connection and returns JournalLoad | null, so both wire call sites were awaiting a non-Promise. The type-aware code-quality gate flags it; the native gate does not.

Neil 92456b1618 perf(ports): serve unchanged macOS listeners from remembered metadata (#18650)
* perf(ports): serve unchanged macOS listeners from remembered metadata

The workspace port scan shells out three times every 30s while the window is
visible. Profiling an idle app showed the cycle costs 0.67s of CPU — about 2.2%
of a core sustained, roughly 65% of Orca's total idle CPU — and two of those
three commands only re-derive the command line and cwd of listeners that have
not changed since the last scan.

Reuse the metadata already remembered for a listener when this scan's free
lsof -F c process name still matches, so a recycled pid re-probes instead of
inheriting a dead process's attribution. In steady state that drops the cycle to
the single listening scan.

* perf(ports): pin cached listener metadata to its socket and re-probe every tenth scan

The metadata cache trusted an entry on pid:host:port plus the lsof -F c
process name, so a recycled pid running the same command name on the same
port would inherit a dead process's command line and cwd, and a process that
chdir'd while listening kept its old cwd forever.

Add the socket's kernel identity (lsof -F d) to the already-running listening
command — measured at no spawn and no wall-time cost — and require it to
match before reusing an entry: a restarted process listens through a new
socket. Also re-probe every remembered entry every tenth scan (~5 min) so a
changed cwd cannot go stale indefinitely. Steady state stays at one command
per cycle for nine of every ten scans.

* docs(ports): note the ordering contract between the reuse split and the remember step

* fix(ports): never authorize a kill from remembered listener metadata

requireMetadata is the SIGTERM authorization re-scan, and its own comment says
it must never land on a cycle that skipped owner attribution. The metadata cache
could serve it entirely from memory, so a process that had chdir'd out of a
worktree could stay attributed to it for up to the re-probe ceiling and be
killed on Stop. That caller now always probes; background polls still cache.

* fix(ports): re-derive every port of a pid when any one of them needs metadata

A process listening on several ports could have one row served from remembered
metadata and another from a fresh probe, so a process that moved between scans
reported two different workspace attributions until the next full re-probe.
Decide per pid first, then hydrate only pids that need no probe at all.

* refactor(ports): let the cache module own the requireMetadata bypass

Keeps the scanner under the max-lines gate and puts the cache policy with the
cache rather than at the call site.

Jinwoo Hong 5083b58b9c fix(desktop): never replay a refresh token after a timeout; jitter relay lease renewal (#18719)
Two independent desktop hardening changes that share one incident date.

1. Refresh-token replay. A refresh POST that aborts client-side leaves the
   token's fate unknown: the server may already have rotated it before the
   reply was lost. Every caller above this module (the relay auth coordinator
   most of all) then re-entered and resent the same stored token, which the
   server reads as reuse and answers by revoking the whole token family. On
   2026-09-04 that turned a slow refresh endpoint into 21,605 sign-outs.

   - The refresh endpoint now gets one 60s attempt instead of a 30s attempt
     plus a replayed retry.
   - A failure with no status line is ambiguous: it is never retried, and the
     token is recorded so a re-entry within 30s is refused outright rather
     than replayed. The block is bounded, not permanent -- the token is only
     possibly spent, and a permanent block would sign out every desktop whose
     refresh merely timed out.
   - Before any retry or replay the stored session is re-read; if another
     caller already rotated it, that result is adopted and the old token is
     never sent again.
   - Only a definitive 5xx, which proves the server rejected without
     rotating, is retried, and exactly once.
   - A 401 on a token whose earlier attempt never answered now logs
     orca_cloud_refresh_possible_replay so support can tell a real revocation
     from a sign-out we caused ourselves. clearCloudSessionIfUnchanged
     semantics are unchanged and still emit the invalidation event.

2. Lease renewal jitter. Both desktop renewal timers took the mean of a
   60s-wide window before expiry. A cell recreate reconnects a whole cohort
   inside one second, so every host in it renewed inside the same second ~54
   minutes later, re-bursting the fleet every ~54 minutes. Renewal now
   carries full +/-10% jitter, spreading the same cohort over ~10 minutes.

   Early renewal is free on the server side: the rebind branch resets the
   full 55-minute TTL from whenever it arrives, with no minimum-age or
   early-renewal restriction (cloud/apps/relay/src/host-session-registry.ts
   :736-743, and :794 for a fresh session). Only lateness is fatal -- :997
   drains and closes a lease that has expired. The base interval is therefore
   shrunk to fit the upward jitter rather than clipping the jittered value at
   the margin, which keeps the distribution unbiased and keeps every sample at
   least 90s before expiry. No wire change.

Jinwoo Hong 7cb05477a1 feat(relay): let cells dial Cloud SQL over private IP (#18720)
Cells run cloud-sql-proxy against the auth database's public IP, so every
connection burns a Cloud NAT port on the relay gateway; that allocation filled
on 2026-09-04 and every cell's proxy dial timed out at once. Add --private-ip
behind relay_cloud_sql_private_ip so production can move the traffic onto the
VPC peering once the foundation root has applied it.

Default false, and the rendered startup script is byte-identical to main with
that default, so merging rolls nothing. --unix-socket is untouched: it selects
the listener, not the upstream address, so DATABASE_URL does not change.

The director is Cloud Run and egresses outside this VPC's NAT, so it is not
part of the problem; moving it would mean VPC egress plus a TCP DSN and its own
secret, which is a separate change.

Jinwoo Hong 2f4f4578c8 feat(relay-infra): cell crash-rate alert and incident dashboard (#18717)
201 relay cell process exits over 48h on 2026-09-04 paged nobody. Adds a log metric on the Docker `container die` event for the orca-relay container, an alert at >3 exits per instance per 15 min, and a four-chart incident dashboard covering the signals that had to be assembled by hand during the outage.

Neil b2c6f029ef perf(settings): commit free-text account settings on a debounce, not per keystroke (#18651)
* perf(settings): commit free-text account settings on a debounce, not per keystroke

Four raw text inputs bound value straight to the store and called updateSettings
in onChange, so every character was an IPC round trip that replaced the settings
object identity in every other window, re-rendering everything subscribed to it.

Route them through a DebouncedSettingsTextInput that keeps a local draft and
commits after 700ms, on blur, and on unmount — matching the repository-hook
script draft. The draft lives in the input component because the account
sections are render functions the settings search calls conditionally, so hooks
cannot legally live in them.

* fix(settings): update the draft's latest-commit ref in an effect, not during render

* fix(settings): flush a pending text-setting draft on beforeunload and drop the dirty flag

A window close or app quit never unmounts the React tree, so the unmount
flush could not run and a value typed within the last 700ms was lost. The
close coordinator already dispatches a synthetic beforeunload while the tree
is mounted, so listen for it the same way the session checkpoint does.

The pending timer is now the single source of truth for "uncommitted edits";
the separate dirty flag it duplicated is gone.

Neil 368a6d6ca7 perf(terminal): use real event-loop yields between chunked writes (#18627)
* perf(terminal): use real event-loop yields between chunked writes

Both chunk-write loops yielded with setTimeout(resolve, 0), which is not a yield
but a timer tick. The paste executor's awaits are nested, so Chromium clamps them
to ~4ms each; a 4MB paste is ~256 chunks and up to a second of dead time. The
main-process pty:write loop pays a Node timer round trip per 16KiB.

Use the shared MessageChannel-based yieldToEventLoop in the renderer (already
used by pty-input-write-queue one file over) and setImmediate in main (already
used by the remote-runtime terminal.send path and the usage scanners).

* test(terminal): pin the event-loop yield between chunked PTY writes

The paste executor must default to the shared yieldToEventLoop helper and
write-input must yield via setImmediate; neither was covered, so a refactor
back to setTimeout(0) would have passed every suite. Both tests are
deterministic: the renderer test mocks the helper module and spies on
setTimeout with the operation timeout disabled, and the main-process test
fakes only setTimeout so a timer-based yield stalls while a setImmediate
yield races to completion on real check-phase turns.

Neil 9008fb70a6 perf(sidebar): share one natural-worktree-id scan and drop a redundant row-key join (#18647)
The natural-worktree-id Set was spelled out four times — twice in the drag
groups module, once in the drag session hook, once in the drag units module —
each as rows.flatMap(row => cond ? [id] : []), which allocates a throwaway array
per row. All four memoize on the same rows, so they recompute together. Share
one loop-based helper.

use-row-measurement also built a joined string of every row key purely as an
effect dependency, alongside a Set memoized on the same input. A fresh Set
always changes identity, so the string could never fire the effect on its own.

Neil 2881955bae perf(agent-hooks): stop cloning the whole status roster on every hook event (#18642)
AgentAwakeService.setStatuses deep-copied every row of an array the hook server
had just built fresh, and getEligibleRunningStatusCount allocated a filtered
array only to read its length. Both run on every agent turn and tool call, and
both scale with cached panes rather than with the one pane that changed.

Copy the array without cloning its rows, and count in place. At 500 panes the
per-event cost drops from 5.34us to 1.78us.

Neil a663a21fff perf(orchestration): project task columns so task reads hit the statement cache (#18641)
SyncDatabase refuses to cache any statement containing a wildcard, so every
SELECT * FROM tasks recompiled on each call. getTask sits on the dispatch and
lifecycle paths and listTasks runs several times per coordinator tick on the
2s poll, so those recompiles were continuous during a run.

Project TASK_COLUMNS explicitly, the same fix #18420 applied to the graph
publish, using the column list already imported in this file. getTask drops from
7.88us to 2.18us per call.
