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

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

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): stop citing the removed handoff in lifecycle comments

Six comments still named the handoff coordinator, a handoff suspend, or a
terminal-owned session as live participants in the flows they describe.

* test(native-chat): pin that a start dead before proving owes no settlement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brennan Benson cb363444f3 feat(native-chat): register Codex default-mode helpers as subagents (#22619)
* feat(native-chat): register Codex default-mode helpers as subagents

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): register a Codex helper whose spawn call failed but created its thread

Codex reports a spawn as failed when the helper it created errored at birth,
yet the call still names the thread it created, and that thread can run. The
spawn was registered only when the call completed, so such a helper existed
nowhere and its shell read as the session's own bare command: the original
default-mode bug. A spawn now registers whenever it names a receiver; one in
progress, or one that created nothing, names none. A failed closeAgent still
ends nothing, because the helper was not closed.

* refactor(native-chat): each Codex thread's latest token total gets its own home

Every thread's running total, member or not, with the rule that the newest
frame replaces the last and the recency-ordered cap, moves out of the roster
into codex-thread-token-totals.ts. The roster still selects its children's
totals at write time. With the producer linkage the roster now builds, it
was past the size limit.

* refactor(native-chat): the messages a session list quotes get their own module

The readers of a session's newest own prompt and own assistant prose move from
the status projection into structured-agent-session-latest-messages.ts, and
are re-exported so their consumers keep one import site. With the status
clock the projection now carries, a tool result naming its call put it past
the size limit.

* test(native-chat): a Codex helper's command is a live record until its process reports its exit

A helper's in-turn shell is a live command record owned by the helper and is also its open
Bash operation; its exit removes the record. A caller's closeAgent kills the helper's
processes, and each still reports its exit on the helper's thread, so the close leaves the
command to that exit rather than ending it itself.

* fix(native-chat): every reader of a tool run pairs a result with the call it names

The folded desktop run now pairs a result with the call it names, but mobile's tool run, the desktop edit cards and the task lists still paired by position through `pairToolBlocks`. In a Codex default-mode session the new `spawn_agent` row finishes with no output, so on mobile the helper's reply drew under `spawn_agent` and `wait_agent` showed none, and a desktop edit card could take the next command's output as its own.

`pairToolBlocks` now follows the same rule as `pairNativeChatToolResults`: a result that names its call answers that call, and one that names none answers the oldest unanswered call as before.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex helper's turn ends on its own frames, not on its caller's closeAgent

A finished `closeAgent` call ended the helper's running turn as `stopped`. But the call's status is not the close's outcome: Codex sets it from the helper's own agent status, so a close that errors on a running helper still reports `completed`. Orca then marked a helper that was still running as cancelled in the strip, the host record and the roster row, and because the first ending a turn gets stands, its real ending could never correct it.

A close that works does not need the edge either. Codex's shutdown of the helper aborts its running turn, and the app-server reports that as the helper's own `turn/completed` with status `interrupted`, which Orca already maps to `stopped`. So a helper's turn now ends only on its own frames (its `turn/completed`, a fatal `error`, `thread/closed`) or the session ending, and the close is only its call row.

This also drops the child-work evidence re-keying that existed only for the close: every remaining frame names the thread that sent it.

* fix(native-chat): a tool result that names a call is never given to a different call

A result that named a call id with no unanswered match fell back to the oldest unanswered call. On mobile, a run shows at most six calls, so a command past that window whose output named its own call gave that output to an earlier call that finished with none, such as `spawn_agent`.

A result that names its call now answers only that call and otherwise stays unpaired. A result that names no call still answers the oldest unanswered one. Both pairing readers share the one rule through `answeredToolCallIndex`.

* test(native-chat): name the Codex default-mode test file after the subagents it covers

* fix(native-chat): a Codex helper is known from any call that names it, not only its spawn

A helper whose spawn Orca never saw (history replay after compaction dropped the spawn, or a resume or message to a helper from earlier) stayed unregistered, so its shell read as the session's own command: the bug this PR fixes, in another shape.

Every collab call now announces each helper it names, skipping a receiver the finished call reports notFound. The spawn's prompt still labels a helper when it was seen; otherwise the helper has no label and reads as any unnamed subagent does. A send_input, like the spawn, names the parent turn the helper's next run belongs to.

The session's own thread is excluded once, in the reader, instead of at each of its three callers.

* fix(native-chat): every finished Codex collab call row carries what the call reports

A client that predates result call ids (an older mobile app, or an older desktop reading a newer host) projects the journal itself and pairs each tool result with the oldest unanswered call. This PR publishes collab calls as tool rows, and a finished spawn_agent, send_input, close_agent or resume_agent on a running helper had no output, so such a client drew each later output in the run under the call before its own (the parent's shell output under spawn_agent, the helper's reply under the shell).

Every finished call now has an output taken from the item: a wait's reply from each helper that finished (an errored helper's error), and for every other call the helper's reported status in Codex's own words (Pending init, Running, Completed, ...). A close or resume no longer shows the helper's last reply as if the call returned it. A wait whose end names no helper (it timed out, or v2) reads Finished waiting; any other call with no state reads its own status.

A call also keeps naming the helpers its started item named: Codex ends a timed-out wait with no receivers, so its row lost the helper's name when it finished.

* refactor(native-chat): the desktop run's tool pairing is a view of pairToolBlocks

Desktop runs and every other reader (mobile, edit cards, task lists, the ask row) each had their own pairing loop sharing one index rule. The desktop's pairNativeChatToolResults now reads the pairs pairToolBlocks makes, so a run is paired by one loop and a new reader cannot add a third. No behaviour change.

* test(native-chat): type the positional-client pairs without assertions

* fix(native-chat): a finished Codex collab call row says what the call did, in Codex's own words

A close_agent row read `Running` and a spawn_agent row `Pending init`: each showed the helper's status snapshot from before the call took effect, so a close that stopped its helper read as though it had not worked.

Each finished call's output now follows Codex's own client: spawn reads `Spawned` (or `Agent spawn failed` when no helper was created), send_input `Sent input`, close `Closed`, and resume the helper's status summary. A wait keeps each finished helper's reply, with other statuses in Codex's summary wording (`Error - <message>`). The row label already names the helper, so the output does not repeat it.

* docs(native-chat): the collab call reader says which calls show the helper's snapshot as output

Since spawn, send_input and close rows say what the call did, the reader's header was wrong to claim every call row shows the reported snapshot as its output: only a wait or resume does.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex spawn call no longer claims it ran an agent

Codex's spawn_agent call ends as soon as the helper starts, so counting it as running an agent drew "Ran 1 agent" directly above "Kicked off 1 subagent · working" while the helper was still working, and "Ran 1 agent · 1 failed" when Stop cancelled a spawn before any helper existed. Claude's Task call lasts as long as its subagent, so it keeps the agent category; the Codex spawn row is now a plain tool call and the roster row alone stands for the helper.

* test(native-chat): a Codex helper's row settles on the failed completion that follows a fatal error

Codex follows every turn-ending `error` with the turn's failed `turn/completed`,
on a helper's thread as on the primary, and only that completion ends the turn.
The roster test now sends both and checks the row, strip and record stay
working through the error and settle on the completion.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex helper's section opens while the parent spawns, waits on or messages it

A running chat holds a subagent's section open while the parent's newest row delegates to that subagent. For Codex that rule only knew the raw collab status row; this PR writes each collab call as a tool row (spawn_agent, wait_agent, send_input, close_agent, ...) naming its helpers in `input.agents`, so a default-mode helper's section stayed shut for its whole run while Claude's opened.

The delegation reader now reads a Codex collab tool row as a delegation to the first helper it names, the same rule the raw row keeps for journals written before this change; a call naming no helper stays ordinary output. The row names and the `agents` key live in one shared module the host writes from and the reader reads, instead of a second list.

The new test drives the real adapter's rows through the transcript projection to the delegation; the collab frame harness moves to a fixture shared with the positional-clients test.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex collab call with a long prompt still names its helper

A collab call row bounded its whole input as one value, so a spawn or send_input whose prompt passed the 16 KB journal limit was stored as a clipped wrapper: the row lost the helper's name and thread ids, and with them the label and the delegation that opens the helper's section.

The prompt is now clipped on its own with the journal's inline-text bound, marker included; the helper's name, ids, model and effort are bounded as before and always survive.

Brennan BensonandClaude d60f999f94 fix(native-chat): turn facts come from the turn record, and /compact is a message the chat sends (#23059)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): stop citing the removed handoff in lifecycle comments

Six comments still named the handoff coordinator, a handoff suspend, or a
terminal-owned session as live participants in the flows they describe.

* test(native-chat): pin that a start dead before proving owes no settlement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): the conversation outlives its agent

Opening a chat no longer starts its agent. A conversation is reached through one host
accessor that opens its journal at rest, and a send is what starts the agent, through
the delivery loop. One idle sweep, every five minutes, stops an agent that has been
quiet for thirty minutes and owes no work, then drops an open journal handle that is
only a cache. Its record, tab, status row and readers stay.

- hold and release are no-ops; hold still builds the host for shipped mobile builds.
- The holders, the holds, the release clock and the exit respawn are deleted.
- Options, the model list, the goal and the context meter answer at rest; a model pick
  at rest is recorded as intent for the next start.
- Compact, rewind, clear and goal changes start the agent first. A send does too when
  a rewind is still in doubt after the conversation opens.
- Orchestration routes mail and group addresses on ownership (the record plus the chat
  tab), not on whether the process runs. An open dispatch keeps its worker running.
- The restart continuation is a send; Resume all holds each slot until the message is
  handed over or rejected.
- A read error never replaces a loaded transcript, and shows the host's own words.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer ends when the chat's agent starts again

The offer used to end only when the chat's newest user message changed,
because opening a chat started its agent and that start could not be told
apart from real activity. Opening a chat starts nothing now, so the host
reads the fact it already publishes: a chat's status row goes from not
host-owned to host-owned exactly when its agent is started. At that edge the
offer and any failure record for the chat are withdrawn, unless the start is
a resume action's own (its continuation is the oldest undelivered message).

A continuation and a message racing to be first are decided at acceptance:
the continuation is refused, quietly and with nothing filed, when any other
message was accepted since the restart. A failed continuation start leaves
the offer retryable, and each resume action sends its own message id.

Deleted: the newest-user-message comparison, its journal reader, the
continuation filter, and the failure ledger's own "answered by the chat"
check. The marker still carries its message id for one release, so the
previous build can read it.

* fix(runtime): end a transcript stream when its client unsubscribes

Desktop: the IPC subscription controller was dropped as soon as the streaming
handler returned, which for most streams is right after it binds. A later
runtime:unsubscribe then found nothing to abort, so the host kept the subscriber
and derived and sent every publish to a channel no one listened to. The controller
now lives until the renderer unsubscribes, resubscribes the same id, or goes away.

Mobile: disposing an agentSession.subscribe stream now sends agentSession.unsubscribe
with the stream's frame id, so the host ends that subscriber and leaves a sibling
stream on the same socket running. The direct path now passes the frame id the relay
path already passed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): one fact ends a restart offer: the chat moved on since the restart

The offer is live while no other message has been accepted in the chat since the
restart and its agent has not proved a start since. The offer list, the resume's
reservation check and the continuation's acceptance check all read that one fact,
so a message whose start then failed withdraws the offer too, and a stale click
finds nothing to act on.

The fact is read off the conversation's open handle, which the restart closed, so
it is retired durably whenever it may have changed: a message accepted, a start
proven. A close and reopen within the same run therefore cannot bring the offer
back. A continuation rejected before it reached the agent does not count, so a
retry after a failed start still runs.

Deleted: the quit-time gate on withdrawal, which changed nothing because the
withdrawal and the quit's own offer write share one queue; the per-action
"withdrawn" flag and the separate acceptance check it paired with.

* test(native-chat): an older build reads the restart offer this build records

The offer lives in a file the previous release reads after a downgrade. Pin that
against the pinned release's own capsule, and run the lane when the marker or the
capsule changes.

* fix(native-chat): read a restart offer against where the journal stood when it was taken

"Since the restart" was read off the conversation's open handle, which the idle
sweep closes: after a reopen, a message the user had already sent looked older
than the handle and the withdrawn offer came back.

The offer now records the journal position (epoch and sequence) at the moment
it is taken, and a message accepted after that position, or a journal on another
epoch, means the chat moved on. That is derived from the journal, so it holds
across any number of closes and reopens. An older build's offer has no position;
only a start withdraws it. Because the message half is now durable, the offer is
no longer rewritten in the recovery file on every accepted message; a proven
start still writes it, since only the host that saw the start knows of it.

* test(native-chat): wait for the listing's retire write before reading the recovery file

* refactor(native-chat): every journal row states which turn it belongs to

Rows gain a turn scope stated by the write that creates them: the open root
turn, or the conversation. A queued message takes its scope from its handover.
Rows stored before scopes existed are placed on replay by the root turn open
when they were created, so no persisted state is needed for them. Rewind keeps
each retained row's scope and producer, so a subagent's row stays its own.

* fix(native-chat): keep the terminal-backed chat's read error over its local echoes

Messages winning over a read error is right for the structured chat, whose read retries and whose
messages came from the transcript. The terminal-backed view assembles its list from local echoes
too (a launch prompt, a pending send), so a failed read there showed only those bubbles and no
error. Only the structured pane now keeps messages over an error.

* fix(native-chat): a start retries the exit settlement a failed journal write left owed

An agent exit whose journal settlement write failed releases the lease latched until a retry lands.
Reopening the chat used to be that retry; with reveal now only opening the journal, nothing retried
it before the next app launch, and every send was refused. The start the send needs now runs the
retry first, where the attach would.

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

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

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

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

* perf(native-chat): answer the owner check without opening the chat

Worktree activation calls agentSession.handoffStatus for every chat tab in the worktree, and the
answer comes from the session record alone. Reaching it through the accessor opened each resting
chat's journal (a full read, the crash-boundary write and a restored status publish), then kept it
open for the idle window. It now checks the record and the adapter's support, as before this series,
and opens nothing.

* fix(native-chat): a read waiting on the session lock opens nothing once quit began

The accessor checked for quit before queueing the open, so a read queued behind a session task ran
its open after teardown had begun and indexed a journal no teardown step would close. The check now
runs at the open itself.

* test(native-chat): pin stated turn scopes, the upcast of unscoped rows, and rewind attribution

* fix(native-chat): /compact is a message the chat sends, run as a turn of its own

The conversation command RPC now accepts /compact into the queue like any
send and answers once it is handed over. The delivery loop opens the command's
own turn, starts the provider on it, and waits for the provider's end off the
session's queue, so messages typed meanwhile are held and delivered after it,
even when it fails. It settles by re-reading the journal: a child that died
meanwhile already wrote the verdict. Stop ends the command at once. The 180 s
completion window, the unconfirmed row and the recovery of an older build's
compaction record are gone; that record no longer gates anything. On Codex the
provider turn the command opens is claimed into the command's turn.

* fix(native-chat): read a failed resume's chat before calling it retryable

Whether a failed resume is retryable is the offer's own rule: the chat has not moved on since the
restart, read from its journal. The failure list read it only for a chat already open, so once the
idle sweep closed a chat the user had moved on in, its failure showed Retry again, and the click did
nothing. The list now opens the failed chats first, as the offer list does.

* test(native-chat): type the provider event sink the settlement test reaches for

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

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

* fix(native-chat): say the structured read keeps trying only where it does

The structured pane's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line never showed: the view state filled in an
untranslated fallback whenever the read error had no text, and the empty state prefers any message.
The view state now leaves the message out, so the structured pane shows that line and the
terminal-backed pane its own translated one. Mobile's structured lane does not resubscribe after an
error frame, so it no longer makes the claim.

* fix(native-chat): rows group under the turn their record names, not the one above them

Each row's turn is the turn its stated scope names, anchored on the entry
that opened it, or on the turn itself when the provider opened it unasked.
So /compact groups its own rows and the previous turn is untouched, a message
typed into a running turn joins it, and a provider-resumed turn folds under
its own Worked-for. A row reporting how a turn ended, an error or the
compaction separator, never folds. Desktop and mobile read the same keys; a
host that states no scope keeps today's positional grouping.

* test(native-chat): await the send's settlement instead of polling for the start

The at-rest send tests polled for the provider start with vi.waitFor's one-second default, which a
loaded machine outran. They now await the host's own settlement of the message.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer resumes any time after the quit, and knows its own continuations

The continuation's message id was dated by the quit, and the ledger refuses a new id dated more than
a day back, so Resume or Retry a day after quitting was always refused (on main too). It is now
dated by the resume action.

Telling a rejected continuation from the user's own message read the operation ledger, whose rows
expire after about a day; after that a failed resume stopped being retryable. The offer now
records the continuation each action sends on its own capsule entry, bounded to the newest 16, so
the ids end with the offer. The ledger read is deleted.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact is not a request the sidebar, notifications or restart resume report

The sidebar's prompt, preview, verdict and instant, the turn-completion feed,
and the restart-resume marker read past a conversation command and its turn to
the last real request, so a /compact neither notifies nor re-dates the row,
and a command in flight is never offered as work to resume. An older client
shown a command's turn in the legacy form names the session's own agent.

* fix(orchestration): route no mail to a structured worker its orchestration released

A structured worker is routed on ownership, and a resting worker's lease is released, so ownership
held while its chat tab stayed listed. A worker the coordinator abandoned and then released, found
at rest by the release, therefore still took peer mail and @worktree: broadcasts, and each one
restarted its agent. Routing now also reads the orchestration's own resource row: once it is
released, direct mail, group addressing and worker-show's addressable answer drop the worker, as
they would a terminal worker whose terminal closed. The chat tab stays, and nothing new is stored.

* fix(native-chat): a failed retry names the user's prompt, not Orca's continuation

A resume's continuation is written to the chat before its start, so after a failed attempt the chat's
newest user message is that rejected continuation. A second failure then showed Orca's own restart
text as the chat's prompt. A retry now keeps the prompt its first failure named.

* test(native-chat): pin what a conversation command's admission refuses at rest and at handover

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

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

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

* fix(orchestration): read the released row optionally, as the authority does

worker-show's observation called the row lookup directly, which a runtime double without it threw on
and failed the structured tab-retirement release.

* chore(native-chat): one import per module and no unexplained casts in the turn-scope changes

* test(claude): pin which turn a Claude row joins, including a subagent's after the turn ends

* fix(native-chat): the status bar drops a restart offer the chat moved on from

The renderer re-read the host's restart offer only when a failed chat showed activity, so after a
message withdrew a pending offer the host answered no chats while the status bar kept counting one,
and clicking it opened nothing. The same watch now covers pending offers: a status change in an
offered chat asks the host again, once.

* fix(native-chat): a refused steer is read from the turn its handover named

The latest-request reader decided whether a refused send had joined a running turn by comparing
host clocks: its handover time against the previous turn's end. The handover row now states the
turn it delivered into, so the reader reads that instead and the clock comparison goes. A journal
written before handover rows stated a turn is scoped on replay from the turn open when each row
was written, which can differ from the clock reading only when a send and a turn's end share a
millisecond.

* fix(mobile): the native-chat controller contract carries the turn journal

The controller and overlay already pass nativeChatTurnJournal, but the
contract type never declared it, so mobile failed to typecheck.

* fix(native-chat): the live turn is the running turn, not the newest user row

A turn the provider opened on its own (a background wake, a resumed turn)
anchors on its own record, but the list still treated the newest user row
as the live turn. While such a turn ran, the settled user turn before it
lost its duration and the running turn's own rows were drawn as settled,
so its tool calls lost their live state.

nativeChatTurnMembership now answers both questions from the turn record:
each row's turn, and the live turn (the running root turn's anchor, else
the newest user row, which is also all an unscoped host has). Desktop and
mobile key liveness, the timing clock and the live status's row on it.

* test(native-chat): a turn the provider opened keeps its own clock

Pins that the local turn clock follows the live turn, so a wake after a
settled turn does not restart that turn's clock when no host durations
are recorded.

* fix(native-chat): a running turn no message opened draws its status on no row

Its live status belongs to the transcript-tail indicator alone. Once it
settles, its duration draws at its first row as before; a running turn a
message opened still draws on that message.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(native-chat): a roster of idle or finished children does not keep an agent awake

The sweep reads owed background work through the shared child-work liveness that upstream's
release clock adopted; a child that went idle or finished is not work the agent still owes.

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

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

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

* fix(orchestration): a task dispatched into a resting structured worker keeps it running

The sweep's open-dispatch check read only the worker-start dispatch that owns the worker's terminal
resource, so a task later dispatched to the same worker (orchestration dispatch --to, which writes a
dispatch with no worker row) did not count: after thirty quiet minutes the worker was stopped while
that task was open, and its coordinator read exited. Any unsettled dispatch addressed to the worker's
process incarnation now counts, derived from the existing rows.

* fix(native-chat): a command's wait ends when its child does

The delivery loop waited for a /compact only on the adapter's compaction
tracker, which learns of the child's end only on some exit paths: a Codex
exit or close, and a Claude close, never reach it. The wait then never
ended, so nothing queued behind the command was delivered again, Stop had
no child to answer through, and the tracker's leftover entry refused the
next /compact.

Every way a child ends passes endProviderChild, so the host now offers a
per-child end signal there. The loop races the tracker against it (the
dead-generation settlement has already written the command's verdict),
and on that end asks every adapter to release the command, so a later
command runs and no later provider turn is claimed into the dead one.
The adapters' own exit-time releases were unreachable (Codex) or covered
one path of several (Claude), and are removed.

The Codex RPC test harness moves to its own module so the exit can be
driven through the real adapter's connection callback.

* fix(native-chat): keep refusing sends during a command on an older host

An older host's controller still refuses a send while a conversation
command runs, so dropping the client's block turned every message typed
during /compact into a 'not sent' row with Retry there. The block stays
for hosts that do not run the command as a send-path turn, and goes only
for those that do.

The signal is one the client already holds: a host that runs /compact on
the send path states a turn scope on every journal row it writes, the
same fact turn membership uses to tell it from an older host. Both now
read it from one predicate. On an empty conversation, or one whose rows
all predate the upgrade, the signal is absent until the command's own
entry streams in, so that brief window keeps the old local refusal; no
capability or wire field is added.

* docs(native-chat): comments stop describing the hold this PR removed

Eight comments still justified orderings and teardown choices by a viewer or dispatch hold that
pinned the provider child. Nothing holds any more; the orderings stand for the binding's redrive
subscription and parked mail, and a chat's agent runs from a send until the idle sweep rests it.
Comment-only.

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer keeps the start its own continuation made

Whose start ended an offer was decided at read time, from whether the offer's continuation was
still the queued message. Once the provider refused that continuation, the child it had started
read as someone else's start, so the offer ended and its failure showed no Retry. The delivery
loop now records which queued message a start is for on the in-memory child, and the child's end
carries it; the offer counts a start as its own when that message is one of its continuations.

* fix(native-chat): a rewound turn still names the message that opened it

A Codex rewind rebuilds the epoch without submissions, so each sent message survives only under
its provider key. The kept turn records still named the submission key, so each turn anchored on
itself and its rows grouped apart from the message that opened it. The rewind now renames the
turn's opener along with the message.

* fix(native-chat): Stop ends only the command it names

Stop on a command turn abandoned whatever compaction the session had pending, so a late Stop for
an earlier /compact cancelled the one running now. The tracker now ends a command only when the
Stop names its turn, and the cancel reply reports whether it did.

* fix(native-chat): an agent gets a full idle window after its owed work ends

The sweep measured quiet only from the last journal row, so once a subagent, command, monitor or
dispatch that had outlived the window ended, the agent was stopped at the next tick. A child can
read done before the lead's wake-up turn writes anything, and stopping in that gap loses the
wake-up. The sweep now counts owed work it observes as activity, which gives the agent the full
window afterwards, as the release clock it replaced did.

* test(claude): the options-read fixture runs a live child

The fixture marked its conversation running with a hasProviderChild field the
session type does not have, so the read took the at-rest path and refused a
session with no record. It now carries a child, which is what the read checks.

* test(native-chat): host tests reach its collaborators through a typed seam

The rest-test rig and three test files read the host's private members with
Reflect.get and cast the result. The host now exposes one test-only accessor,
collaboratorsForTests(), and the subscribers class a subscriberCountForTests()
beside its existing retainedActivityCountForTests(), so the tests are checked
against the real types and the casts are gone.

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

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

* refactor(orchestration): one owner answers a structured worker's custody

Routing, group addressing, worker-show and the idle sweep each composed their own reading of
whether orchestration still holds a structured worker, so each new obligation or retirement state
had to be added to every reader. structured-worker-custody now derives both answers from the
worker-terminal list state coordinators see in worker-list: addressable is owned and not released,
and owed work is an active custody or an unsettled task dispatched to the same incarnation. The
owner's state is read through the remote dispatch attachment too, as the terminal transfer lookup
already does. Behaviour is unchanged; a settled worker awaiting its coordinator still rests.

* refactor(orchestration): owed work is an open dispatch on the worker's incarnation

A supervised worker's own dispatch context stays open exactly while the worker is active, so the
separate active-custody branch only repeated it. Owed work is now one fact, which also states the
policy that a worker awaiting its coordinator's decision may rest, and both custody decisions are
written once at the top of the module.

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

* fix(native-chat): a restart offer knows its continuations by a tag in their id

The offer recorded each continuation id in a list on its capsule entry, capped at 16, and a running
action's id in memory. Both could disagree with the journal: past the cap an old rejected
continuation read as the chat moving on, and a crash during a retry restored the failure's older
entry, which lacked the retry's id. Each continuation id now carries a tag derived from the offer
(its teardown and chat), then the action's own part, so any continuation of this offer, queued or
rejected, is recognised from the journal row and the marker alone. The persisted list, its cap and
the in-memory action map are deleted; the agent-start withdrawal keeps an offer whose own
continuation the start was for, read against the stored marker.

* test(runtime): the legacy-worker reveal test judges its stale snapshot inside the wait

The tui-idle probe reads through readTerminal, which now awaits the structured
worker check before the PTY read, so the probe's snapshot request starts a
microtask later. vi.waitFor missed it on its first check and polled again at
50 ms, the same moment the wait's own 50 ms timeout fired. The stale snapshot
then resolved after the wait had already timed out, so the test passed without
judging it, and the rejection landed before any handler was attached. Vitest
reported that as an unhandled error and failed the shard.

Polling every 1 ms sees the request within a few ms, so the snapshot is judged
while the wait is still pending.

* fix(native-chat): a message held behind /compact is drawn where it was handed over

A message typed while /compact runs was drawn above the compaction's result, between
itself and its own answer. The reducer kept every item at the sequence and timestamp of
the row that created it, and a queued message is created at acceptance, long before the
command it waits behind writes its result. The phone orders by that sequence and the
desktop by that timestamp, so both put the message first.

A queued message now takes its position from its handover row, the same row that already
states its turn scope. Everything the agent did before the handover, a command it waited
behind included, draws above it. This holds for every held message, not only /compact's,
and needs no client change: every client, older builds included, reads the position the
host publishes. A live batch already carries the item when its dispatch row lands, and
history pages cut the reduced timeline by sequence, so paging stays contiguous.

* fix(native-chat): a phone's send during /compact answers without waiting out the compaction

A client that predates accepted-send replies, which is every phone build, has its send
reply held until the host hands the message over. A message sent during /compact is not
handed over until the compaction ends, so the phone's 15 s request timeout fired first
and showed the message as unconfirmed.

That wait now also ends once the message is queued behind a running command. This is
read from the journal's running turn and needs no new state. Every other wait still
ends at the handover: behind a starting child or an ordinary turn, and for restart
resume, the command front door and orchestration, which keep the plain handover point.

* perf(native-chat): a rewind places provider items with one pass over the merged rows

A Codex rewind gives each provider item the old epoch never held the turn record for its
provider turn. It found that record by scanning every merged row, restoring each row's
body, once per provider item. That is quadratic, and it runs on the host's main thread
up to the journal's 10,000-row cap, twice per rewind. A rewind record written before
rows carried their scope holds no scope for any provider item, so it paid the full cost.

The merge now indexes turn records by provider turn id once, keeping the first match as
the scan did, and each provider item looks its record up.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact is drawn after it until it is sent

A message sent while /compact runs is placed where it was handed over. It was still
drawn where it was accepted until then. /compact writes its result one step before the
handover, so for that step the waiting message sat above the compaction's separator.

A message the host accepted but has not handed over is not part of the conversation
yet, so both clients now draw it after everything the agent has done. The shared
projection moves it to the end, which is the order the phone draws. The desktop ranks
it with the other not-yet-sent rows, after the streaming preview. At handover it takes
its place from its handover row, which is also after the separator, so it never
appears above the compaction it waited for.

* fix(native-chat): the idle sweep reads owed work every tick

Owed work counted as activity, but the sweep read it only once the idle window had elapsed, so it
refreshed the clock at most once a window. Work that ended just before the next read left the
agent to be stopped at that read, moments after the work ended, which is the gap the refresh was
meant to cover. The sweep now reads owed work on every tick for a started agent, so the window
always runs from the last tick that saw work owed.

* fix(native-chat): a continuation handed to the agent stays sent

The offer read its own continuation as not reaching the agent while its dispatch was pending, which
also covered one already handed over and still unanswered. When the wait for that answer ended first,
the failure it filed read as retryable, and a retry sent a second continuation to an agent that may
have acted on the first. Only a continuation still queued, or rejected, is now read as unsent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a command ends only by its own provider answer or its child's end

Stop no longer settles a conversation command. It interrupts it like any turn,
and when the provider cannot take that (Codex has not opened the command's turn
yet, or Claude refuses the interrupt) it stops the child, whose dead-generation
settlement writes the verdict.

The pending command now lives on the provider child's own session instead of an
adapter-wide map keyed by session, so it dies with the child and nothing has to
release it. Claude's /compact is sent under a uuid the slot records, and only a
root result naming that input (or naming none) ends it; its outcome is read with
the ordinary result reading, so a stopped /compact is a cancellation.

* fix(native-chat): a command's settle answers its message before ending its turn

The two writes are not one batch. Writing the message's answer first means a
crash between them leaves a running command turn, which the stale-turn sweep
already settles, instead of an ended turn whose message reads as in flight
forever. The settle now writes only while the command turn is still running.

* fix(native-chat): "Worked for" counts from the handover, not the send

A message held behind /compact, or behind a cold start, used to count the wait
as the agent's work, although its row is drawn at the handover. Every handed-over
submission's turn, the command's own included, now starts at the handover row's
instant, falling back to the send time for a host that recorded none.

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

* test(native-chat): the interrupted create's own retry continues again

The merge of main's lease-latch fix replaced that test's retry of the interrupted create, under its
own operation id, with a fresh start whose result nothing read. That fresh start passes with the
released-reservation continuation deleted, so the case the fix exists for went untested. The retry
and its assertion are main's again.

* docs(native-chat): three comments that still had views starting agents

A start with nothing queued now comes from a command, goal change or rewind; an interrupted compaction
left alone would refuse every send, so no agent would ever start to finish it; and a current host
raises the unattached read refusal only once quit began, with the attach window belonging to an older
host.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a second Stop on a command ends its child; one compaction verdict for every provider

A Stop's note now names itself in its key, so a later Stop on a command still
running reads, from the journal, that the provider was already asked and never
answered, and stops the child instead of interrupting again. Nothing is held in
memory for it.

Adds the rule both translators will read a compaction's end by: only a
compaction the provider reported is a success; none after Orca's interrupt is a
cancellation; anything else is a failure. A real Claude capture, pinned as a
fixture, is why: a stopped /compact ends in the same success result as a
finished one.

* test(native-chat): a reader's open settles the turn a failed exit settlement left running

An exit whose settlement write failed leaves its turn running in the open journal. PR 1's open now
settles it, and this pins the two reads that reach it here: a reader reopening a chat the idle
sweep closed, and a read that opens the chat before the restart restore reaches it.

* test(native-chat): the view-start test's starting window outlasts two subscriptions on a loaded runner

A subscription reads the conversation before it returns, so under load the two views took longer
than the create child's 300 ms start, which then exited before the test checked that it had not.
The child now takes a second to fail.

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

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

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

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

* refactor(native-chat): the provider's translator ends a command's turn; the loop holds no command state

A conversation command is now a turn of the provider child's own journal
pipeline. The adapter-wide tracker, its promise and the loop's settle step are
gone.

- Codex: the translator claims the provider turn that carries the command, scopes
  its rows to the command's turn, and writes the command's end in the same batch
  that settles that turn. Codex's own compaction marker is the success row.
- Claude: the command's turn is the translator's open turn until the result that
  answers the /compact input ends it. The command's own frames, such as the
  continuation summary, its echo and "Compaction canceled.", draw nothing.
- Both read the end with the one compaction rule: success needs the provider's
  report of the compaction; none after Orca's interrupt is a cancellation.
- The message resolves at the provider's receipt, as any send does: the Codex
  ack, or the Claude slash-command waiter on its result. The host writes a
  command's end only when the provider never took it.
- The delivery loop stops while a command's turn runs, and every journal commit
  re-wakes it through the session's serialize, so an end that lands while a step
  decides to stop is never lost. A child that ends first is settled with it.

* test(native-chat): pin a command's end to real /compact frames and to each path it threads

The captured /compact frames drive the Claude translator's command turn: a
finished compaction ends as a success with only the separator drawn; a stopped
one ends as a cancellation with no failure row, and the next send answers in its
own turn; a result naming another input ends nothing. The command's end is
checked at each point the ordinary result path threads through: the reopen latch
after a failure, the settling of a child still working, the context facts the
result reports, and the provider's own error row.

On the host: a message held behind a command is handed over when the command
ends just as the loop stops for it, a refused command settles as a failure and
the loop moves on, and a Claude child that exits mid-command settles the command
and hands what waited to a fresh child.

* test(native-chat): tests merged from the base state which turn their rows belong to

* refactor(native-chat): drop the child-end waiter nothing waits on

A command no longer waits for its child here: its turn ends from the provider's frames or from
that child's settlement, and the delivery loop is woken by the commit. The waiter and its test
were left from the earlier shape.

* fix(native-chat): a command holds the queue only while its child runs it

The delivery loop stopped whenever the journal showed a command's turn running. When the
command's child ended and its settlement could not be written, that turn stayed running with
no child to end it, and the loop's gate kept it from ever starting the next child, which is
what settles a gone generation's leftovers. Every later send was held for good, and Stop had
no child to end.

The gate now holds only while the conversation has a child: with none, the command belongs to
a gone generation, and the loop's start settles it like any turn a dead child left running.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude /compact succeeds only on its compaction boundary

The command's evidence counted Claude's `compact_result: 'success'` status as the compaction
done. That status comes before the boundary that replaces the history, so a Stop landing
between the two read as a finished compaction even though no boundary was ever written. Only
the boundary now counts, as the rule for both providers states; the capture's finished
compaction carries one, so it still reads as a success.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude child's exit says why the turn it ended stopped

When a Claude child exited mid-/compact, the command showed "Worked for 0s" and no reason. The
child's translator ends its open turn the moment the exit is reported, stamped with the exit's
instant, so by the time the exit settlement ran nothing was running. The settlement recognises a
turn the exit already ended by that same instant, but the Claude lifecycle event dropped it on the
way to the host, which then used its own clock, matched nothing, and wrote no row. When the clocks
did agree, the row was scoped to the running turn, of which there was none, so it landed outside
the turn it explained.

The exit's instant now reaches the host, and the exit row belongs to the turn the exit ended:
still running, or ended by the translator at that instant.

* fix(native-chat): a message waiting behind /compact draws below its live activity

A message sent while /compact runs waits on the host until the command ends. Both clients moved
it to the end of the transcript rows, but the running turn's live activity line ("Compacting the
conversation") draws after every row, so the waiting message sat between the command and its own
live status.

A row that is queued, and not what the live turn is for, now draws after that live activity: on
desktop outside the transcript window, below the activity line; on the phone in the list footer,
below the live status. A message whose own start is pending still draws above the activity that
start reports.

* fix(native-chat): only a running command holds a message below its live activity

A message is accepted, then handed over a moment later, and in between it reads as waiting. Every
message waiting behind a live turn drew below that turn's activity line, so an ordinary message
sent while the agent was working crossed below "Thinking" and jumped back up once it was handed
over, on desktop and phone. Only a conversation command's turn holds the queue on the host.

A message now waits below the live activity only while the running turn is one a command opened,
read from the entry that opened it. The phone test also typechecks, which the mobile test ratchet
requires.

* test(codex): the claim test names its notification params as a record

* test(native-chat): a read that reaches a crashed chat before the startup reconcile settles its turn

On desktop the chat on screen at relaunch reads before startup reconciles the leases, while the
dead process's lease still reads live. The open settles the turn it left running anyway, and the
restore that follows finds it settled.

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): drop the removed dispatch hold from six comments

A worker's session no longer takes a dispatch hold, and no release clock
rests a chat by visibility; the agent-launch comments, the abandon test,
the teardown test and the refusal census still said so.

* test(native-chat): rest the owner-status chat through the idle sweep, not a hold

The activation-gate test from #22808 put its chat at rest by holding and
releasing it, and passed the release-clock grace. This branch deleted both,
so the case threw before it reached its assertions. It now moves the host's
clock past the idle window and lets the sweep stop the agent and close the
conversation, then asserts the same owner answer and activation gate.

* fix(native-chat): show the structured pane's retrying line when a read fails

The read transport always hands the pane the host's words, so the error
state's "Orca keeps trying to load it" line, which showed only when there
were none, was never seen: the pane showed the host's text twice, as its
subtitle and on the status line under it. The structured pane now always
says its read keeps retrying, and the host's text stays on the status line.
The terminal-backed chat is unchanged.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a failed Codex compaction's late completion writes no turn of its own

Codex ends a failed turn with an error and then still completes it as failed.
The error settled the compaction and released its claim on the provider turn,
so the completion read that turn as an ordinary one and wrote a stray record.
The claim now lasts until the completion, which adds nothing to a command the
error already ended.

* test(native-chat): the mid-command exit case resumes its next child as a real one does

The case's fake started every child as a newly created thread with the same generation. The
store refuses a created link once the conversation has a thread, so the next child's start
failed and wrote its own error row, which landed before or after the case read the journal.
The next child now resumes the thread under its own generation, and the case reads the
journal once the waiting message is delivered, which also proves the loop moved on.

* test(native-chat): wait for a send's background start before the refusal oracle removes its store

An accepted send wakes the delivery loop, which starts the agent in the background. The oracle's teardown disposed the loop but did not wait for that start, so its lease write could create a temp file in the store directory while the directory was being removed, failing the test with ENOTEMPTY about one run in four. The teardown now drains tracked starts before it closes the journals.

* fix(native-chat): a start a message waited on gets one failure row, the delivery loop's

When a queued message's start failed, two writers could report it under the same row: the delivery loop, when the adapter settled the start without proving it, and the exit settlement, when the child's exit landed. The last one won, so the chat's row could name a different cause than the one the message was rejected with, or be written twice.

The exit settlement now writes the start's row only when no message is queued and the loop has not already recorded that start. A start for a command, goal change or rewind, with nothing queued, still gets its row from the exit.

* fix(native-chat): a /compact whose start failed says to run /compact again

The failure-words context named only /clear as a command to retry, so a
/compact whose agent failed to start read "Send your message to try again."
on its row, its rejected message and the command reply. The context now
carries any conversation command; the host derives it from the oldest
message still waiting on the provider, which is the one a failed start
fails first, and the /compact reply names it directly.

* fix(native-chat): a Codex /compact ends only on its turn's completion, below Codex's own error row

Since only turn/completed ends a Codex turn, Codex's turn-ending `error` is a row
inside the still-open command turn, and the failed completion that follows it is
the command's end: completed, outcome failure, at the completion's receipt time.
The command's own "Compaction failed" row was written on that completion too, so a
failed /compact read its reason twice.

The command turn now notes when Codex's turn-ending error for the turn it carries
was written as a row, and its end then adds no second row. A retried stream error
ends nothing and is not counted. The flag that let the error end the command and
kept the claim until the completion is gone with the error-driven end.

A test replays the captured failed compaction from the real app-server through a
claimed command turn.

* test(native-chat): main's crash-turn test states its row's turn, and a dead /compact settles on its recorded exit

Two tests the main merge brought together:
- The crash-turn test from #23456 writes a turn record through the event sink
  without options; every row here states its turn scope, and a turn record's is
  the thread.
- The /compact whose exit settlement could not be written no longer stays running
  until the next start: main now settles an open chat from the exit it recorded, so
  the command reads interrupted before the next message, which is then delivered.

* test(native-chat): main's new journal tests state each row's turn

The crash-turn, stale-turn and sink-queue tests main added wrote rows without a
turn scope, which every item write now states. Rows written inside a running
turn name that turn; the sink-queue batch and a send handed over with no live
turn name the thread.

* fix(native-chat): draw a queued turn's message after the earlier turn's rows

A message sent while A runs is written to the journal when it is sent.
When the provider queues it (Claude answers it after A), A's remaining
rows - its last tool run and its answer - are written after that
message, and the message's own turn opens only after them. Grouping put
those rows in A's turn, but the transcript still drew them in journal
order, below B's bubble and bar, where A's answer read as B's reply. This
is the residual #23671 left open.

A message that opened a turn now draws after the earlier turns' rows the
journal wrote after it, just before its own turn's rows
(nativeChatTurnDrawOrder, returned by nativeChatTurnMembership as
drawOrder). Desktop and mobile both draw in that order. A steer, and a
message that has opened no turn yet, stay where they were written. It
applies on hosts that state turn scopes and, through journal order, on
older ones.

* test(native-chat): run #23026's Stop tests against #23059's command turns

Two of #23026's tests call APIs #23059 changed, and failed after the
merge:

- codex-structured-conversation-stop: a compaction now goes through
  adapter.compact with the command run the host wrote (#23059), not a
  bare turn id, and answers with the provider's receipt. With the command
  claimed, a Stop that names no turn while the compaction's provider turn
  has not opened still interrupts nothing.
- main-agent-working-agreement: a provider row states its turn scope
  (#23059's appendItem contract); the retry and subagent rows are
  conversation-scoped.

* fix(native-chat): typecheck main's Stop and restore-grouping code against #23059

A Stop's compaction interrupt reads the narrowed requested turn, and the
restore-grouping test states whether each row reports its turn's outcome.

Brennan Benson e8e144bf3c fix(native-chat): a subagent's words are presented as that subagent's, never the parent's (#23605)
* fix(native-chat): a subagent's words are presented as that subagent's, never the parent's

The journal already names the agent that produced every row, but the transcript
projection dropped it, so a subagent's prose rendered as the parent's reply, its
tool calls folded into the parent's runs, and a settled turn could fold down to
a subagent's words as its only visible answer.

The transcript message now keeps the row's producer. The fold keeps each agent's
calls in that agent's own run, a turn's answer is the session's own agent's last
prose, and a subagent's row names the subagent on desktop, mobile and a worker's
transcript text.

* test(native-chat): give the window fixture's slot the attribution field it now carries

* fix(mobile): read the subagent label the row is given, and pin the caption

* fix(native-chat): keep interleaved agents in order and each agent's own run live

Review follow-ups:
- the fold is main's adjacency fold plus one condition: a row never folds into
  another agent's run, so an agent's later call stays below its subagent's work
  instead of jumping back into its earlier row
- each agent has its own live frontier, so a parent still inside its spawn call
  reads as running while its subagent works below it
- mobile names no one on a row whose only content is hidden behind its settled turn
- a pending question from a subagent keeps its producer
- worker reads serve only the producing agent's id, bounded like the roster key
  that names it, and drop the provenance fields
- the single-message worker formatter is private, so no caller can drop names

Brennan BensonandClaude a68d62911e fix(native-chat): the host writes chat failures for a person, with a typed fact beside them (#23116)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): stop citing the removed handoff in lifecycle comments

Six comments still named the handoff coordinator, a handoff suspend, or a
terminal-owned session as live participants in the flows they describe.

* test(native-chat): pin that a start dead before proving owes no settlement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* feat(native-chat): a typed failure fact beside every failure sentence

Adds the shared vocabulary the host writes a failure with: a closed failure kind, a
provider diagnostic that says who it is for (a person, or a log), and a refusal cause
beside the refusal code. Status rows gain an optional failure fact and rejected
submissions an optional rejection fact; the dispatch row carries it, the reducer reads
it field by field, and the projection forwards it. Older rows and older readers are
untouched: every field is optional and the schemas stay open.

* fix(native-chat): durable failure rows and rejection reasons are written for a person

Every host writer that records a failure now writes a sentence for a person beside a
typed fact, instead of embedding a refusal's message, an exception or a composed exit
string. A provider's own words travel as a separate diagnostic from the places Orca
composes them - the Claude and Codex exit stderr (a log), Codex's JSON-RPC message,
Claude's compact_error and Codex's turn error (for a person) - and are never inferred
from a string afterwards. Not signed in and oversized history are typed at the
adapter that detects them.

Covers start and restart failures, the delivery loop, dispatch rejections (content,
queue-full, write failures, provider refusals), cancel and answer confirmation rows,
compaction, the rewind fallback, and not_delivered, which released clients printed
as it was. Two leaks close on the way: a settlement retry no longer writes Orca's
probe evidence into the exit row, and an attach or journal-sink failure is recorded
as Orca's fault rather than as the provider stopping. The legacy rejection markers
and the reasons on sends in doubt stay byte-identical.

* feat(native-chat): refusals name their cause, and a failed start is worded in one place

A refusal now carries an optional cause beside its code: one closed enum of the situations
a chat write can meet, set at every emitter a structured-chat write reaches. Returned
refusals build it with refuse(code, cause, message). Store and host paths that raised a
bare Error(code) now throw AgentSessionRefusalError, whose message is still the code and
which has no code property; the RPC error mapper handles it before any other passthrough,
keeps today's wire code and message byte-identical, and adds { refusal: { code, cause } }
to the error's data. The hold throws it, and restart-resume files the cause beside the
unchanged reason. The operation ledger stores the cause beside the code, so a replay names
the same situation as the first answer. The store fallback copy picks its words and cause
by situation, so a stale replay or a moved lease no longer reads as a latched owner.

Every failed start is worded by structuredAgentSessionStartFailure(cause, context), which
returns the row sentence and the typed fact together; the delivery loop, the exit
settlement and the dispatch that met a starting child all call it. Provider diagnostics
are capped at the lease record's 512 characters wherever a fact is built.

* refactor(native-chat): one reader of why a submission was rejected

classifyDispatchRejection(submission) returns { category, verdict, kind? }. It reads the
typed rejection fact when the row carries one this build can place, and the legacy
markers otherwise - all six, including not_delivered, which released clients printed as
it was. The verdict is null only for a withdrawal, a host restart and a closed chat;
write failures, a full queue and not-delivered stay failures. It replaces
dispatchRejectionReasonIsInternal and every string comparison against the markers: the
outbox reconcile, the rejection notice, and the send disposition, where a replayed
Stop-withdrawn send no longer surfaces as a failed send.

The journal reducer's echo-aliasing guard reads the narrow isWriteFailureSubmission,
which matches the typed kind or the legacy prefix in any dispatch state, so its behaviour
on legacy unknown rows is unchanged.

* test(native-chat): pin provider diagnostics where they are composed

The Claude exit status and stderr, the Codex stderr tail and Codex's JSON-RPC message are
each checked at the place Orca composes its own error around them, so the typed detail
is proven to come from the provider's value and never from Orca's wording.

* fix(native-chat): an attachment Orca refuses says which limit it broke

The content check's refusals (20 images, 5 MB per image, 20 MB in total, supported types) are
written for a person, but the rejection writer replaced them all with one generic sentence.
Each refusal now carries its own sentence, in MB rather than bytes, and the writer records it
beside kind attachmentInvalid. Only an attachment that could not be read keeps the generic
sentence.

* fix(native-chat): the chat tab table refuses with a typed cause

Showing a chat tab refused with bare Error('agent_session_conflict') and
Error('agent_session_identity_required'), the only chat-reachable refusals still thrown without a
cause (opening a chat from history can reach the second when the chat is removed mid-open). Both
now throw the typed refusal; wire code and message are unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): a compaction Codex refuses up front keeps Codex's words

When Codex refused thread/compact/start, the adapter passed on only Orca's wrapped error text and
dropped Codex's own message, so the chat's row read just "Compaction failed." The refusal now
carries Codex's message as the failure detail, as a compaction that fails later already did.

* fix(native-chat): an unreadable chat record no longer promises an update fixes it

The recordUnreadable copy said a newer Orca saved the chat, but the store marks a record
unreadable for damage and key mismatches too, where updating does nothing. The sentence now says
Orca can't read it and gives both next steps.

* fix(native-chat): a restart or a close leaves released clients a sentence, not a marker

host_restarted_before_delivery and provider_closed_before_delivery are not in the markers released
desktop and mobile builds hide, so they printed raw on every rejected message a restart or a chat
close left. Neither marker has shipped. New rows carry a sentence plus kind hostRestarted or
chatClosed, as not_delivered already did; the classifier still reads both markers, and the
verdict for both stays no-failure.

* fix(native-chat): log why an attachment could not be read

The rejected message now says only that the attachment couldn't be read, so the error that said
why (a missing file, a permission, or an unexpected throw) went nowhere. It is logged instead. The
content rejection moves beside the content check that owns its errors.

* refactor(native-chat): drop an unused thrown-refusal cause reader

It had no callers, and its comment claimed it looked through wrappers, which it did not.

* fix(native-chat): a compaction the provider never confirmed is recorded as unconfirmed, not failed

* fix(native-chat): an empty or non-user message is not recorded as a bad attachment

* fix(native-chat): an undelivered preamble's error ends in one period

* refactor(native-chat): a compaction ends as compacted, failed, or unconfirmed, never an unlabelled error

* refactor(native-chat): a failure's sentence is written only from its fact

A writer could choose its sentence and its kind separately, so five writers
put hand-written words beside a fact that said something else. One shared
constructor, agentSessionFailureWords(fact, { surface, agentName }), now
makes both, and the journal types refuse anything else: a status row, a
rejected message or a conversation command that carries a fact must carry
the sentence that constructor branded. Persisted rows keep their shape.

- The sentence table and the restart table move to src/shared, as the English
  default a client copy table can reuse.
- A rejection's legacy markers come from the same constructor. A write
  failure is now the bare `provider_write_failed` marker, which released
  clients already hide; its error goes to the log.
- An image Orca refuses carries which check it failed (and the limit) in the
  fact instead of a sentence; an empty message gets its own kind, and a
  non-user message is Orca's fault.
- The exit row, the interrupted compaction, the /clear failure and the rewind
  placeholder no longer carry their own words beside a fact: the exit row
  says what its fact says, and the placeholder carries no fact.

* fix(native-chat): a start that failed without an observed exit no longer blames the provider

Every untyped start error was recorded as "The provider stopped before it
finished starting.", so an Orca fault, a failed spawn or a close that ended
a start was blamed on the provider. Only an exit the adapter observed says
so now: the Claude adapter marks the error it saw the child exit with, and
anything else is a new `startFailed` kind, "<Agent> couldn't start.", keeping
the provider's diagnostic when the error carried one. A child gone with no
end observed, and a /clear whose new conversation was refused, read the
same way.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a chat a terminal agent still holds says to quit that agent

The merged base words a restart a terminal agent's claim refused with the
refusal's own message, which names the process. That message is Orca's text
and never reaches a durable row here, so the row read only "<Agent>
couldn't restart." and lost the one step that frees the chat. The restart
sentence now derives it from the refusal's cause: a claimConflicted refusal
adds "This chat is still open in a terminal agent. Quit that agent to
continue the chat here." The live refusal still names the process.

The restart-resume ledger test now sets up a claim the base still refuses:
a terminal owner that is proven running.

* refactor(native-chat): keep the changed files inside their lint limits

The legacy-marker lookup is a table, not a non-exhaustive switch; the
preamble tests read the error without a cast; and the Codex history refusal
goes through a named constructor so its file stays under the line limit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* refactor(native-chat): refusals carry details keyed by their code

A refusal named its situation with one flat cause list shared by every
code, so nothing stopped a site pairing a code with a situation that code
never means, and the loose fields released clients read (fence, revision,
resolution, verdict, rewind reason) were written by hand at each emitter.

A refusal is now one variant per code with optional details: a reason that
code lists plus that code's own facts. refuse(code, details, message)
rejects a reason the code does not list at compile time, and it is the one
place the loose top-level fields are copied from details, so released
clients read exactly what they read before. A site that cannot name its
situation uses refuseUnclassified, which carries facts but no reason, the
same as an older host; there is no catch-all reason.

Thrown refusals put { refusal: { code, details } } in the RPC error's data
(wire code and message unchanged). The operation ledger, the restart-resume
record and a restart failure's embedded refusal keep details beside the
code and read them back against it; a row an unreleased build wrote with a
cause parses and reads as naming none.

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

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

* test(native-chat): a restart-resume failure keeps its refusal details

The recovery capsule reads a failure's details back against the refusal
code in its reason: facts the code does not list and a reason another code
owns are dropped, and a record an unreleased build wrote with a cause
still parses, naming nothing.

* test(native-chat): import the failure words once in the provider child test

The merge left two imports of the same modules.

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): a start the provider refused or Orca broke no longer says the provider stopped

A failed start whose cleanup proved the child gone was typed as
`providerStartFailed` whatever failed it: Codex refusing to resume a thread,
a timeout, or Orca's own store fault. The chat then read "The provider
stopped before it finished starting.", which was untrue, and the provider's
own words were dropped. A refused restart also inferred the same from an
`exited` verdict, which only says nothing runs now.

Only an exit the adapter observed names that situation now; anything else
is refused with no reason, keeping its verdict, and the chat reads
"<Agent> couldn't restart.". The provider's words travel host-side from
where the acquisition failed into the start-failure fact's detail, never
onto the refusal, and the sentence does not quote them. What failed is
logged once where the start failed.

* fix(native-chat): a refused /clear start keeps the situation it named

The replacement start that /clear makes built its own start-failure fact,
so a refusal that named its situation, such as not being signed in or a
history too large to restore, was recorded as a bare "couldn't start". It
now takes its fact from the same start-failure function as every other
start, as a new session that failed to start.

* fix(native-chat): the journal schema and comments describe a refusal's details, not its cause

The persisted failure fact's schema still described `refusal.cause`, which
this branch replaced with `details`. It now describes `details` as an
optional open object; a row an earlier build wrote with a `cause` still
parses. A comment and three test descriptions that still named the cause
now name the details.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude child that exits while being acquired still reads as the provider stopping

Now that only an exit the adapter observed says the provider stopped, the
exit the Claude adapter saw during acquisition has to be marked where it is
seen, as the exit after acquisition already is. Without the mark, a Claude
CLI that exited at spawn read "Claude couldn't restart." instead of "The
provider stopped before it finished starting."

* fix(native-chat): word a failed chat start's refusal as its start failure

A chat whose agent failed to start answered the create with the raw error: the launch strip read "Chat could not be started. claude stream-json exited (code 1): claude: not signed in", and the ledger replayed the same text. The first answer and the replay now carry the sentence the chat's start-failure row reads as ("The provider stopped before it finished starting.", "Claude couldn't start.", the not-signed-in and history-too-large sentences), and the raw error goes to the log. A store refusal's code and the unproven-exit marker are unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): show Claude's API retries as one sentence row

While Claude retried a refused request (a 429, say), the chat gained one red row per attempt reading "rate_limit", with the raw retry frame behind Details. Each retry run now writes one warning row that later attempts revise in place: "Claude is rate-limited and retrying." for a rate limit (error `rate_limit` or status 429), and "Claude hit a temporary problem and is retrying." otherwise. The row carries a `providerRetrying` fact with the provider's error type and status, and the frame as a log detail capped at 512 characters.

* fix(native-chat): tell the user to run /clear again when its new conversation can't start

When /clear's replacement conversation failed to start, the result told the user to "send your message again", which would go into the old conversation. The failure words now take the command the start was for, so a failed /clear reads "Codex is not signed in for the selected account. Sign in, then run /clear again.", "Codex couldn't start. Run /clear again." or "The provider stopped before it finished starting. Run /clear again." A message send keeps its wording.

* test(native-chat): expect a failed Claude create to be refused in a sentence

The runtime suites asserted the CLI's stderr reached the create refusal; it now goes to the log and the refusal reads as the chat's start failure.

* fix(native-chat): name the agent that stopped starting and say how to retry a failed start

A start the provider ended now reads "Claude stopped before it finished starting." (or "The agent ..." when the chat's agent is unknown) instead of naming "the provider". A start or restart that failed with a chat left to retry now ends in "Send your message to try again.", or "Run /clear again." for /clear; released clients print only this sentence. A message rejected at dispatch because its child died while starting names the same agent as the start's row.

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): answer a create refused before spawn in the words its replay reads

A create that failed before any process started threw Orca's own error text as its first answer,
while its replay from the operation ledger read the generic start sentence. The two refusals a
person can act on, a launch whose Anthropic sign-in variables override the managed Claude account
and a Claude account switch in progress, are now typed where they are thrown and worded by the
shared failure constructor, so the first answer and the replay say the same thing. Every other
pre-spawn failure reads the generic start sentence, with its own text in the log. The first answer
keeps its wire code; a message that is itself a code is unchanged.

* fix(native-chat): say how to retry after an agent stopped before it finished starting

"<Agent> stopped before it finished starting." gave no next step outside /clear, unlike every other
failed start. It now ends "Send your message to try again.", the same step a start or restart that
could not run gives; after /clear it still says "Run /clear again."

* fix(native-chat): say how to reach a Claude chat when a WSL Claude account blocks it

A Claude chat that restarts while a Claude account is added in WSL and no Windows Claude account is selected was refused before spawn with Orca's own text as its first answer, and the generic start sentence on replay. The refusal is now typed where the account gate throws, and both answers read the same sentence: choose or add a Windows Claude account in Claude Accounts settings, then send the message again. Account settings that cannot be read name no situation and keep the generic sentence.

* fix(native-chat): say the reason a host names for a refused chat write

A refused Stop, answer, setting, goal, command or queued message now reads the refusal's reason as
well as its code. A code stands for several situations, so the code alone could only say what did
not happen; with the reason, the notice says why and, where the person has a step to take, what it
is: "The agent is still responding. The command didn't run. Wait for the agent to finish
responding, or stop it." The phone uses the same words.

The notice table keys on code, then reason, then the kind of write. Every reason of every code has
an entry, so a reason the host adds does not compile until it has words; a reason whose honest
words are its code's keeps the code's row. A refusal with no reason, or one this build does not
know, reads exactly as before, which is what an older host gets. A start that failed reuses the
failure row's own sentence rather than a second one.

A queued message keeps the reason, the rewind reason and the owner's verdict with its saved
failure, and a rejected one keeps the host's typed fact without its provider detail. Nothing that
moves with the owner or comes from the provider is saved; entries saved before this load as they
were. The saved failure moves to its own module beside the words chosen from it.

* fix(native-chat): retry a refused send under a new id only once its agent is proven gone

A send refused because Orca could not tell who owns the chat keeps its operation id, since the
first attempt may still land. When the refusal also says the agent process has exited, nothing can
run that attempt, so the message moves to its Retry row under a new id instead of holding the queue.

The owner's verdict is read as a floor: a saved `exited` is final, and any other saved verdict never
changes the id on its own. Only a verdict re-derived from the current lease can raise it to
`exited`, and nothing lowers a saved `exited`. Today no host sends a verdict on a send refusal, so
nothing a person sees changes; the rule is in place for the saved verdict a reload reads back.

* fix(native-chat): say a /clear that never finished did not finish, instead of that it cleared the chat

A send into a chat whose /clear started but never committed was refused as if the conversation had been cleared: "This conversation has been cleared. Your message was not sent. Open the current conversation to continue." The clear never finished, so its new conversation may not exist and there is nothing to open. That refusal now has its own reason and reads "The last /clear didn't finish. Your message was not sent. Start a new chat to continue.", which is the only way on today. Its message for released clients says the same: "The last /clear didn't finish. Start a new chat to continue." Only a committed /clear still says the conversation was cleared.

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

Restart reconciliation rejects a crash-stranded send the provider's history
proves it never received. Nobody failed that send, but the verdict table
treated it as a failure. Each rejection kind now has its verdict in one
exhaustive table, so a new kind does not compile until its verdict is chosen;
no verdict for a withdrawal, a host restart, a chat close, or this lost send.

A rejection whose kind this build cannot place, such as one a newer host
added, now reads as undelivered with no verdict instead of falling back to the
reason beside it: all it proves is that the message did not happen. The host
keeps such a fact's kind when it reads the row back, rather than dropping it
and letting the reason decide.

Only kinds that can be why a message was not sent may reject one, by type:
compaction, cancel/answer confirmation and provider-retry kinds stay on status
rows. The one dispatch-row builder takes its input from the type that makes a
rejected row carry its fact.

* fix(native-chat): a send refused after its agent exited keeps its place in the queue

When Orca cannot tell who owns a chat but the refusal says the agent process
has exited, the next attempt may use a new id, since nothing can run the old
one. It no longer marks the message as rejected: nothing recorded it, so it
still holds the head of the queue, and later messages wait behind it instead
of being sent ahead of it.

* fix(native-chat): stop reading a provider's words from an error that contains itself

A cleanup that aggregates errors restarted the depth count for each one, so an
aggregate error that contains itself recursed until the host ran out of stack.
One depth bound now covers both the cause chain and the aggregated errors.

* fix(native-chat): say a chat whose history can't be read can't continue, and to start a new one

A read of a chat's history is refused with `agent_session_journal_unreadable` only when the chat's journal file is corrupt or not a database, which no retry can change. The notice table had no words for a read at all, so a pane had nothing to show but the raw code. Reading a chat's history is now its own request kind, `read-history`, and that refusal on it reads "This chat's history couldn't be read, so it can't continue here. Start a new chat to continue.", whether the host names the reason or raises the bare code. A write refused under the same code keeps its words, because its cause is any failed open, which can clear. Any other read refusal says only "This chat's history couldn't be loaded." `agentSessionReadHistoryRefusalParts(code, details)` gives a pane those words from a read error.

The notice sentences move to their own module so the table stays within its size limit.

* fix(native-chat): decide what every way a child ends means for queued messages in one table

What a child's end means for the messages queued behind it was an if-chain: a user's Stop was checked in one place, a host stop in another, and every other cause, including one added later, fell through to "the provider exited". It is now one table over every end cause, so a new cause does not compile until someone says whether it fails what is queued and how. A user's Stop still fails nothing, a host stop is still Orca's fault, and an exit, a failed attach or an eviction still carry the failure the end recorded. Nothing a person sees changes.

* test(native-chat): a close that stops the child and then fails rejects what is queued by how the child ended

When a chat closes, stops its agent, and then fails a later step, the chat stays open with its messages still queued. The delivery loop then rejects them by the way the child ended: an eviction during startup reads as a failed start, otherwise as the provider having stopped, and either counts as a failure. The cases are rows over the end cause, so another way a chat closes is one more row.

* test(native-chat): type the refusal a persisted-schema test admits

* fix(native-chat): say whether a chat's history is damaged or just couldn't open

A write refused because the chat's journal would not open named one reason, `journalUnreadable`, for every failed open, and a read of the history took that same reason as final. So the words depended on what was asked, not on what happened: a busy or permission-denied open could tell a person to start a new chat, and a damaged one could read as something that clears.

The host now decides at the refusal which it was. `journalCorrupt` is set only when SQLite itself reports the journal damaged or not a database (SQLITE_CORRUPT or SQLITE_NOTADB, extended codes included, read from the driver's result code and never from message text, through any `cause` chain). Every other failed open is `journalUnavailable`. A corrupt history reads "This chat's history couldn't be read, so it can't continue here. Start a new chat to continue.", with "Your message was not sent." before the step on a send. One that couldn't open reads "Orca couldn't open this chat's history right now. Try again.", likewise on a send. A host that names no reason gets "Orca couldn't read this chat's saved history.", which promises neither, because damage can't be proven from the code alone.

The refusal's message, which released clients print for a send, is now that person sentence instead of the open error's own text; the error is logged instead. `journalUnreadable` is replaced outright: no released build wrote it, and a stored one reads as a refusal with no reason.

* docs(native-chat): say why a history that couldn't open names its retry step

* fix(native-chat): a failed start's row keeps the words its rejected messages carry

When the delivery loop settles a failed start before the child's exit is published, it writes the
start's error row and rejects every queued message with the adapter's startup answer. The exit
settlement then rewrote the same row from the exit event, so the row could say one thing while the
rejected messages, which are terminal, said another. The exit now leaves a start's row it finds
already written.

* fix(native-chat): a Claude start Orca itself failed no longer says Claude stopped

Every error that ended a Claude session was marked as an exit the adapter
observed, including a start Orca failed while the CLI was still running: a
saved option whose restore lost its answer, an init frame naming another
session, or a journal write fault. Those read "Claude stopped before it
finished starting." although Claude never stopped on its own. The mark now
stays where the child's exit is seen (the connection's exit callback), so
those starts read "Claude couldn't start." with any diagnostic beside it,
and a real exit before the start lands still says Claude stopped.

* fix(native-chat): name the agent that stopped, and blame Orca for its own closes

A chat that lost its agent mid-response said "The provider stopped…", and a
started Claude session that Orca itself closed after a journal fault said the
same, as if Claude had exited on its own.

The exit row and the rejected-message reason now name the chat's agent ("Claude
stopped while this response was in progress…", "Codex stopped before this
message was sent."), or "The agent" when the name is unknown; the stale-state
settlement now passes the agent name too. After a Claude start has landed, the
ended event reports providerExited only when the child's own exit was observed;
any other close is Orca's fault and reads as one.

* test(native-chat): pin the sidebar verdict to the rejection classifier for every kind and legacy marker

* fix(native-chat): blame Orca, not Codex, when Orca closes the Codex child

A Codex chat that Orca itself closed (a journal sink that could not take a
frame, or a forced close) said "Codex stopped while this response was in
progress", as if Codex had exited on its own.

Orca's own close path now reports hostFault. providerExited is left to the
app-server connection's exit callback, which the connection withholds while Orca
is closing the child, so it only ever reports the child's own exit.

* fix(native-chat): a chat whose history is damaged reads "Unable to load this chat."

* fix(native-chat): route the conversation-outlives-agent writers through the typed refusals

Three writers that arrived with the merge wrote refusals the old way:

- An operation that starts the agent itself, such as a goal change, turned any error the start
  threw into a refusal whose message was Orca's own error text, which released clients print.
  It now logs the error and says only that the agent couldn't restart.
- An option picked while the chat is at rest, for a key the provider would not accept, is refused
  with the rejected-option reason, like the same pick on a running agent.
- A restart continuation whose agent was refused a start filed the rejected message's sentence as
  the failure's reason. It files the refusal's code with its details again, which is what the
  restart-failure guidance keys on.

* fix(native-chat): a start Orca stopped because it never finished reads as that

The idle sweep now stops an agent whose start never finished and rejects the messages waiting on
it. The chat read "Orca ran into a problem, so this didn't go through. Try again." for that,
because every host stop was worded as Orca's own fault. It now reads "Codex never finished
starting, so Orca stopped it." in the chat's row and on each rejected message, carried as its own
failure kind so newer clients can tell it apart. The message counts as failed, like any start that
did not land.

* test(native-chat): pin the merged close and host-stop rows to their typed facts

The merge left two expectations on the old words: the close tests looked for the marker a close
used to write, and the host-stop test for the host-fault sentence. A close now writes "The chat
closed before this message was sent." with its fact, and a host stop the hostStopped sentence the
constructor gives, whatever reason the stop carried. Also folds the conversation command's two
imports from send preparation into one.

* fix(native-chat): a read of a chat this host cannot open says why

Reads now reach a chat through one accessor, which refused a missing record and a provider this
host does not run as a bare code with nothing beside it. Revealing the same chat already names
those reasons, so a client could tell "this chat no longer exists" and "update Orca" apart there
but not on the history or subscribe read that follows. The accessor now throws the same typed
refusals. The wire code and message are unchanged; the reason rides only in the error's data,
which released clients ignore.

* test(native-chat): a Claude retrying past the idle window keeps its conversation open

Every api_retry frame publishes the journal, and that publish is the activity the idle sweep reads, so a retry run revised into one row still renews the clock on each attempt.

Brennan BensonandClaude 85067494a1 fix(native-chat): a request that failed reads as failed (#22944)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* docs(native-chat): stop citing the removed handoff in lifecycle comments

Six comments still named the handoff coordinator, a handoff suspend, or a
terminal-owned session as live participants in the flows they describe.

* test(native-chat): type the stalled snapshot drain without a cast

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

* test(native-chat): pin that a start dead before proving owes no settlement

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brennan Benson 5e6fcca0b3 fix(native-chat): date a session by its own lifecycle, not its subagents' work (#22520)
* fix(native-chat): date a session by its own agent's rows, not its subagents'

The journal reducer's lastActivityAt is the structured status summary's
updatedAt, which the status row uses as its completion stamp and
acknowledgement clock. It took the max over every journal row, and a
session's subagents write into the same journal after its own agent has
settled, so an idle parent was re-dated and marked unread on child work.

A row now dates the session only when the session's own agent produced it:
not a row whose producer linkage names a subagent, and not a subagent
roster row (a subagent-group block), which the session writes but revises
on every child transition. The roster rule is derived from the row body;
no new persisted field. Replay folds through the same rule, so existing
journals are re-dated to their own last row on reopen.

Claude: a backgrounded subagent emits no child frames, so its re-dating
came entirely from roster revisions (task_updated, task_notification) and
from the stale-roster revision written when a journal reopens. Codex: the
roster is revised on every child token-usage report; child-thread rows
carry no producer linkage yet, and read as the session's own until they do.

* fix(native-chat): a reopened journal's verdict on stale work does not date the session

Reopening a journal settles rows the previous host left live (a working
subagent roster, a live background task) to unverifiable. Those revisions
were appended at the reopen moment, and a background-task row is the
session's own non-roster row, so a crash-restarted session with a live
shell was re-dated to the restart although no agent acted.

The reconciler now writes each verdict revision with the row's own observed
time. That is one rule at the one writer, covering both settle shapes; the
render item's observedAt was already pinned to the row's first write, so
nothing the transcript shows changes. The live-transition roster exclusion
stays: live roster revisions are written by the providers, not here.

The `recovered` row flag is not used as the discriminator: the live
unexpected-exit settlement also writes recovered rows, and a clock rule
keyed on it would stop dating a provider crash the host just observed.

* fix(native-chat): date a session by the reducer's attribution of what a row wrote

The clock read producer linkage off the raw row. A lifecycle batch names no
row-level producer, a tombstone names none, and a revision may name none while
the reducer still attributes the item to a subagent, so each of those dated an
idle parent. The clock now asks the reducer: after a row applies, whether any
item it wrote is the session's own work; before a removal, whether the item it
removes was.

* fix(native-chat): date a session's status by its own lifecycle edges

A subagent writes into its parent's journal and keeps going after the parent
settles. Every one of its rows advanced the summary's updatedAt, and the status
row re-dated a done parent to it, so an idle parent read as newly finished and
unread on each child step.

The host now publishes statusStartedAt beside updatedAt: when the session's own
agent entered its status, read off edges only it writes. Idle is when its newest
turn ended; working is when the running turn was requested, or the earliest
send still unanswered; attention is its own oldest pending ask, or a subagent's
when that alone holds it. A turn that recovery settled after its host went away
ended when that settle was written, so it reads as a completion the user has not
seen; it carries no outcome, so no completion event or notification calls it a
success. Render items carry recoveredAt, the recovered row's own write time, so
nothing new is persisted.

The sidebar bridge and the host ingest date the row and the main agent's clock
from it whenever the row shows the main agent's own state, and keep their
existing rules for a row child work holds open or a summary from an older host.
The status feed republishes when the clock moves instead of on every idle row.

* revert(native-chat): keep the journal clock over every row

The row filter this branch put on the reducer's lastActivityAt decided which
rows could date a session: a list of exclusions that each new row kind could
slip past. The session's state is now dated by its own lifecycle edges, so the
filter, its attribution helper and the backdated reopen verdicts go back to
main. lastActivityAt, and the summary's updatedAt it feeds, is again the
evidence clock over every row, including a subagent's.

* fix(native-chat): keep republishing an idle session its live child work holds open

A row held open by live child work is dated by when each reader saw the
publish, and mobile decays a working row whose evidence is older than the
staleness window. Suppressing row-activity republishes for every dated idle
session froze that evidence, so a subagent running more than 30 minutes past
its parent's turn made the row read idle on mobile. Only a session nothing
holds open stays quiet on row activity now; its state clock is unchanged.

* fix(activity): order an agent's timeline by when each state was seen

An answered ask returns a settled parent to its own turn's end, so its done
repeats the time of the done before the ask. Activity keyed and ordered
events by that time: the new done collided with the old one and was
dropped, and the row took its state from the newest-dated event, the
blocked ask, so a done parent read Blocked and needed attention.

Each state switch now records the `updatedAt` it was seen at. Events are
keyed and ordered by that, while unread and "Clear completed" still compare
the state's own time, so the answer neither re-lights unread nor revives a
cleared done. The row's state comes from the pane's own status entry, so a
clear that hid the done cannot leave it reading Blocked either.

* test(activity): pin the timeline across repeated asks, a clear, and a stale turn

Three parts of ordering the timeline by when each state was seen had no test
that failed without them:

- A second ask moves the answered done into history. Both dones share the
  turn's end, so only the history entry's own seen time keeps them apart;
  without it one done collided with the other and the timeline showed two
  Blocked events in a row. Three asks also exceed the per-pane cap, which must
  keep the most recently seen events, not the most recently started.
- "Clear completed" on an answered row must cut off past the ask, which is
  dated after the done, or the cleared row stays listed. A done that the user
  cleared must also stay hidden once a later ask moves it into history.
- A stale working row must not read as running just because the pane's own
  status says working.

Brennan Benson 80f5aae0f9 feat(agent-status): publish the main agent's own state beside the combined row state (#22452)
* feat(agent-status): publish the lead agent's own state beside the combined row state

Every status producer folded the main agent's state together with live child
work into one `state`, so a lead that had finished while a subagent still ran
read `working` and its own state was lost. The row now also carries
`lead: { state, outcome?, stateStartedAt }`, admitted by the one payload
normalizer on the relay wire, IPC and disk, and published from the Claude hook
lane, the structured host ingest and renderer bridge, Grok (now on the shared
fold) and Codex (own combine kept). The persisted child-only boundary flag is
derived from `lead` plus child evidence and no longer written; old rows map
onto `lead` at hydrate. Combined `state` and `workingMode` are unchanged for
every reader; a cross-lane parity table pins that, with the cancelled-turn
watch-loop story recorded as a known divergence.

* fix(agent-status): make Orca's inferred interrupt the primary source of a Claude lead cancellation

Current Claude Code sends no hook at all on a cancel and no is_interrupt on
Stop, so the cancellation enters the lead record from the server's inferred
interrupt and rides into the next real Stop; is_interrupt on a turn boundary
stays as the secondary source for builds that send it. Comments, the store
reference and the parity table say so; no suppression changes.

* docs(agent-status): the child-only boundary comment now describes the persisted shell fact

The old sentence said a hydrated row no longer carries the shell fact, which is
the opposite of the mechanism: claudeRunningNonAgentTask is persisted precisely
so hydration can read it, and only a pre-lead row lacks it — reading as
shell-free, the same assertion its legacy flag made at write time.

* rename the lead fact to mainAgent: the main agent's own state

* docs(agent-status): the inferred cancel comes from Ctrl+C, not Esc

* fix(agent-status): an inferred interrupt keeps an already settled main agent, and the row verdict docs name its inferred source

* fix(agent-status): a child-induced wait publishes the main agent state it displaced

* fix(agent-status): decide child-held Claude rows from the saved main agent fact

Restart seeds the Claude main agent from the row's saved mainAgent whenever it
settled and no shell held the row, instead of re-deriving a child-only shape.
OSC cannot settle or repaint a row child agents hold open, including a row
waiting on a child's permission prompt. A sticky child permission prompt still
records the main agent's own progress, and OSC repaints and inferred answers
keep the shell fact beside the main agent they preserve.

* fix(agent-status): keep a finished turn's main agent verdict and clock with that turn

A Claude SessionStart restarts the main agent's clock instead of inheriting the
previous session's last Stop. A Grok idle prompt or session end, and a late
Codex root Stop after an inferred cancel, restate the same finished turn, so
they keep its recorded verdict; only a new turn clears it.

* test(agent-status): publish the Grok verdict restatement past the late-event window

* docs(agent-status): describe hydrate seeding and the OSC refusal from the saved main agent fact

* fix(agent-status): push a held child permission row when its main agent changes

* fix(agent-status): keep the shell fact on a held child permission row so restart does not settle it

* docs(agent-status): note the held child permission row carries the shell fact and is pushed

* fix(agent-status): pair the Claude shell fact with the main agent at the one row-build point

Every non-hook rewrite (terminal-title repaint, inferred answer, held child
permission) had to re-carry the shell fact beside `mainAgent`, and each one that
forgot let a restart settle a row while a shell still ran. The row builder now
pairs the fact once: a listener event restates it, any other write keeps it only
while `mainAgent` is unchanged. Restart seeds a settled main agent only when the
row says no shell ran, and legacy child-only rows map to that explicitly.

A held child permission now also accepts the main agent event's background
evidence, as it already accepts its `mainAgent`, so the child's drain no longer
settles a row a shell still holds. The renderer keeps a previous `mainAgent`
only for writers that never carry one, so a hook row without it matches the
host snapshot.

* test(agent-status): pin that restart never seeds a main agent from a row silent about its shell

* docs(agent-status): the row builder pairs the shell fact with the main agent, and restart seeds only on an explicit no-shell

* test(agent-status): name the legacy-row case parameter for what it holds

* docs(agent-status): name which rows carry the main agent fact

Brennan Benson 8757e40063 fix(native-chat): keep a structured agent's tool line between tool calls (#22349)
* fix(native-chat): keep a structured agent's tool line between tool calls

A structured session's status named a tool only while the call was still
running, so the sidebar's tool line went blank whenever the agent was
thinking or writing between calls. Terminal agents keep naming the finished
tool until the next one starts, and clear it after a failure. The structured
status projection now does the same: a running call wins, otherwise the
turn's newest root call if it completed.

* fix(native-chat): bound the structured tool line by the running turn, not the user row

A send made while a turn is running writes its user row into the journal
straight away, and the turn keeps going. Stopping the scan at that row
blanked the tool line while a tool was still running. The scan now runs to
the turn record and names a call only when that record is still running, so
a turn that already ended never lends its last tool to a pending follow-up.

This lookup was the running-only lookup's only production caller, so it
replaces that lookup instead of sitting beside it.

* fix(native-chat): keep naming a structured agent's failed tool until the next one

Clearing the tool line after a failed call brought the blank gap back for
much of a turn: Codex marks any nonzero exit as failed, so a search with no
match or a red test run is enough. The failure already shows on the tool's
own row in the transcript. The running turn's newest running call still
wins; otherwise its newest root call is named whatever it settled to.

* fix(native-chat): name a structured Codex edit on the tool line as the chat draws it

Once a Codex edit's changes exist, its apply_patch call becomes a diff row,
which the status lookup skipped, so the row named the command before the edit.
The chat's tool-call block for a journal row now comes from one shared builder,
and the status lookup reads the same definition: a diff is named as Diff with
its path, and counts as settled since it carries no lifecycle.

* docs(native-chat): describe the structured tool field as running-or-latest

The status summary's toolName/toolInput now name the running turn's
latest tool between calls, not only a running one. Update the wire type
and status bridge comments that still said "the running tool".

Brennan Benson 9ece273056 fix(native-chat): journal rows name the agent that produced them (#22299)
* feat(native-chat): carry producer linkage on every journal row

A journal is the durable record of one agent SESSION, and a session that runs
subagents journals their rows into the same timeline with nothing on the row
saying which agent wrote it. Add that: a per-row linkage bundle naming the
producing agent, its parent, the provider's raw parent reference as provenance,
the kind of work, and which run of the agent produced the row.

The bundle rides the row BASE, not the body: two nested prompt shapes are
strict, so an unknown key on a body makes the whole row parse as malformed. It
is deliberately not a schema-version bump either — an unknown `v` makes a row
unreadable and latches the host read-only, while an unknown key is ignored, so
an older host reads a stamped row and behaves exactly as it does today.

One reader predicate interprets absence, by presence and not by truthiness: an
id that failed to resolve is still an id, and a truthy test would read it as
root and put the child's content back on the parent. The parent-facing status
scans — thinking, the running tool call, the latest assistant line and the
quoted prompt — now skip rows a subagent produced. The transcript is left
unscoped on purpose: it shows every agent's output.

No producer stamps anything yet; this is the carrier and the reader.

* fix(claude): attribute a subagent's journal rows to the subagent

The Claude translator already parsed `parent_tool_use_id` on every envelope and
threw it away. It now resolves that reference to the producing agent's canonical
task id — never to the reference itself, which names the tool CALL and is
re-minted on every resume, so a row stamped with it would split one child into
two the moment it resumed. The raw reference is kept beside it as provenance.

Resolution is its own module rather than more roster: the roster maintains the
spawn-group row a user reads, while this answers, for one frame's parent
reference, whether the rows it produces are the session's own agent's, some
child's, or nobody's yet. It reads the alias table directly to tell "an
announcement named this spawn call" from "this id is simply unknown", which
comparing the canonical id against the raw one cannot do when the two match.

Where the identity is not final the row waits rather than guessing. A top-level
spawn whose `task_started` has not landed is the one case that can still
resolve, so its rows are held — bounded at 64, oldest written first — and
released when the announcement arrives or when nothing can name the producer any
more. Nothing is dropped and nothing is written as the parent's.

A release that announces no tasks at all is decided immediately instead of held:
nothing stable is ever reachable for its children, and an id that rotates is
worse than no id because it is silently wrong rather than visibly absent. Those
rows read as the session's own, exactly as they do today. Holding them instead
would strand every row that REVISES an earlier one — a tool result would leave
its tool row reading "running" for the rest of the turn.

The attempt counter moves in exactly one place, the existing reactivation branch
where a new spawn alias reopens an entry, and is gated on that observed alias
change rather than on the counter, so a late duplicate cannot advance a settled
run. The first run carries no attempt at all.

The group row keeps its own module's write path, now named there, because it is
the one row written from a child's frame that is deliberately the parent's.

* test(native-chat): pin producer linkage end to end, and fix the harnesses first

Four harnesses in this area silently discarded the append options they were
handed, so every assertion about attribution would have passed against
`undefined`. Two are fixed here — the journal double behind the real deferred
sink, and the Claude subagent translator's sink — and each records the options
beside its existing call log rather than on it, so the assertions about call
order stay about call order.

The read side is pinned first, because linkage correct in the store and never
read by the projection is the way this ships looking finished and fixing
nothing. The three defects are asserted through the live-turn and projection
readers: a parent no longer reads as thinking because its child is reasoning, no
longer shows its child's running tool, and no longer quotes its child's prose or
prompt. The opposite direction is pinned too — the transcript still renders the
child's output, and a parent's own line is never suppressed.

Also covered: a resumed child keeps one identity while its spawn call id
rotates; a child row arriving before its announcement is held and then written
linked rather than dropped; a held row is written under the raw reference when
no announcement ever comes; the buffer's bound writes the oldest row rather than
losing it; an unresolvable id reads as a child rather than as the parent; a row
with no linkage reads as root; the schema version is unchanged; and a strict
prompt shape still parses, with a positive control proving that strictness is
real and is why linkage rides the row rather than a body.

* test(native-chat): give the journal double's cast its SAFETY rationale

Editing inside the object literal re-attributes the pre-existing assertion to
changed lines, and the changed-code gate requires a line-specific rationale.

* fix(claude): name the agent that spawned a nested subagent

A grandchild's rows carried an agent id but no parent, and under this
journal's semantics an absent parent is not silence — it is the claim that
the session's own agent spawned the row's producer. For a task spawned from
inside another subagent's sidechain that claim was simply false.

The frames from such a task carry exactly one handle: the nested call's tool
id. That id was journaled once already, as a tool-use block on the row of the
child that made the call, so the child is recoverable from it — but only if
something remembers which row carried it. The registry that already tracks
which tool calls reached the top-level transcript now records the sidechain
ones too, against the reference naming their owner, and the resolver follows
that reference to name a row's parent.

The reference is recorded, not an identity, and it is resolved through the
same path the owner's own rows resolve through, so a parent id always matches
the agent id the parent's rows carry however either was settled. A row now
persists only once BOTH its producer and its parent are final; a grandchild
whose child has not been announced yet waits in the same buffer, and leaves
it through the same three doors.

* test(claude): pin the streamed-text lane's attribution instead of only capturing it

The checkpoint harness was fixed to record the append options, and then nothing
asserted them: all five of its tests passed unchanged against an implementation
that resolves no producer at all, so the lane's attribution was covered by a
capture and no claim.

These assert it: a block streamed inside a child carries that child's linkage,
the session's own carries no keys at all, a checkpoint is held rather than
written while the producing agent is provisional, the flush before settlement
writes a held block under the raw reference rather than losing it or filing it
as the parent's, and a block's producer is resolved once and kept — every
checkpoint rewrites the same row, so a producer that moved would file one
agent's prose under two identities.

* refactor(journal): name the linkage row fields for their role, not their shape

The anti-slop gate rejects "Shape" in a symbol name. These are the linkage
fields a render item carries, and the name now matches the sibling helper
that builds them.

* fix(claude): hold the session's first subagent instead of filing it as the parent

A child's first frames can arrive before the `task_started` that names it, and
the resolver treated "this release has announced no task" as a settled fact
about the CLI. Before its own first announcement every session looks exactly
like that, so the FIRST subagent's pre-announcement rows were written straight
out as the session's own — the whole defect, for the first child of every
session, persisted with no backfill to repair it.

A spawn call the session forwarded at top level is positive evidence that an
announcement is still expected, so it now outranks the release check. A release
that genuinely announces nothing is unchanged: its rows reach the release
verdict at settle and still read as root, just written a little later.

Also stops a malformed owner chain that loops back from naming an agent its own
parent; the depth guard bounded that walk but could not make its answer mean
anything, and absence is the truthful claim.

* fix(claude): read a tool result as its caller's row, not a child's

Every top-level tool call is a forwarded tool id, not just a spawn, so a result
frame naming its own call as parent resolved as a child awaiting an
announcement that is never coming. The row was parked until the turn settled
and the tool sat `running` in the meantime.

A frame delivering the result of the very call it names is the caller consuming
its own output; only a spawn call ever gets a sidechain. Pins added for that and
for the first-subagent hold, and the never-announced case now asserts the row
was WRITTEN as root rather than that it carries no agent id, which an absent row
also satisfied.

* fix(journal): refuse an empty producer id, and drop a bad one without losing the row

The reader that scopes a parent's surfaces tests PRESENCE, so `agentId: ''` is
present: a row carrying it reads as a subagent's and disappears from its own
author's surfaces for good. Neither validator caught it — the wire schema
accepted any string, and the persisted-row guard type-checked nothing in the
bundle at all, against that file's own stated policy.

The wire schema now requires a non-empty id. The persisted side sanitises
instead: a bad linkage field is DROPPED and the row is kept. Rejecting there
would turn a tightened validator into a whole-store kill switch, and degrading
a row to the session's own agent is what every row said before linkage existed.

* fix(native-chat): answer the turn activity line for the session's own agent

`selectStructuredAgentTurnActivity` is a "what is this agent doing right now"
reader and was not scoped by producer. It builds a label set from every
tool-call row in the turn — a subagent's included — and both readers below it
use that set to suppress a line that repeats it. So a CHILD's tool label could
blank the PARENT's activity line: child data deciding the parent's surface.

Live, not latent: the provider-activity branch is populated in this lane, and
it consults the label set without ever consulting `providerFrame`, which is
what the status fallback loop relies on. Scoped once at the top, so both
readers share one interpretation point. Renderer and mobile share this
function, so both are covered.

* fix(journal): stop a lifecycle batch stamping one producer onto N mutations

A lifecycle-batch row carries N mutations but stamped linkage at ROW level, so
a future mixed-producer batch would silently attribute every mutation to
whoever opened it. Both callers are single-producer today, so this was latent.

The write path no longer accepts linkage for a batch, which removes the failure
mode by construction rather than guarding it. The reducer still READS linkage
off a batch row — a row may arrive from a host that writes one — and a genuinely
mixed batch would have to stamp per mutation, which nothing needs yet. Chosen
over adding a per-mutation field because that would persist a new key forever
with no writer and no reader.

* docs(journal): say why each unlinked write site is unlinked, and drop two false claims

Completes the write-site audit the PR claims. Prompt rows carry no linkage and
CANNOT: a prompt arrives through the SDK's permission callback, whose options
carry a request id and the tool awaiting approval and no parent reference of
any kind — unattributable at that site, not deliberately root. Turn rows are
deliberately root and now say so.

Two comments justified decisions by mechanisms this store does not have. The
linkage docblock cited compaction dropping a start row and a pagination
boundary; there is no compaction, and pagination is complete-or-reset. Per-row
repetition is still right, for the reason that is actually true: every reader
scans back from the tail and stops at the turn. A test carried the same false
framing. `claudeFrameParentRef` claimed to read the field by the same rule as
`isRootClaudeFrame`; it is deliberately stricter on the empty string.

* refactor(claude): write a child's rows through, then correct the attribution

Four misattribution paths shared one cause: the lane committed to an
attribution verdict at write time and could never revise it. That followed from
"the journal has no backfill", which is false — re-appending an `itemId` bumps
its revision, the reducer rebuilds linkage from the newest row, and it pins
`sequence`/`observedAt` so a correction does not move the bubble. This lane
already relied on that twice.

So the order inverts. A row whose producer is still provisional is written
immediately, stamped with the spawn call's own id, and re-attributed in place
when the announcement names it. Bookkeeping no longer gates a user's view of
what an agent said.

The hold buffer is deleted rather than left as a pass-through. Corrections are
bounded and die four ways: the announcement, turn settle, teardown, or the
bound. Passing the bound gives up on that producer WHOLESALE — correcting some
of a child's rows and not the rest splits one child across two ids, which is
worse than correcting none. A correction that would change nothing is dropped
rather than burning a revision.

The streamed lane loses its producer latch, which pinned the first verdict
permanently and is why an announcement one frame later could never reach the
row. Every checkpoint rewrites the same identity, so there is one row per block
and re-resolving can only revise it; the latch was guarding against a split
that cannot happen on this path. A block that stops streaming before its
announcement is re-attributed explicitly, since nothing else revisits it, and
the announcement is now observed BEFORE the forced flush that would otherwise
stamp it a line too early.

Also narrows the no-announcements-at-all escape so it no longer swallows a
forwarded spawn call. That escape now applies only to a sidechain id no spawn
call ever forwarded, where there is genuinely no handle to stamp.

* fix(journal): move two test doubles onto the signatures they pin

Both failed typecheck while passing at runtime, which is what a test double
gets to do: vitest never typechecks them.

The sink's lifecycle-batch double still read producer linkage off the batch
input after that input stopped carrying any, so it had no property in common
with the linkage type. The fence is now all it records, which is what the
narrowed contract actually forwards — and what the test beside it already
asserts.

The row-schema helper returned the whole six-arm `JournalRow` union while every
caller reads `body`. It now narrows to the item arm it always builds, so the
assertions read it directly rather than through a cast.

* fix(claude): resolve a tool result to its real caller, not to the session root

A nested tool row could end stuck `running` with its result content dropped.

Cause was in the result-frame attribution, not in the correction ledger. A frame
delivering the result of the call it names as parent is the CALLER consuming its
own output — but the code read "the caller" as "the session's own agent", which
is only true when the caller is the root. A call a child made is owned by that
child. Collapsing it to root both misattributed the row and made the result's
write resolve through a different reference than the call's, so the correction
owed to that row was left holding the body it had BEFORE the result landed, and
re-attribution then reverted the row.

The caller is now resolved through the registry that already records which agent
journaled a tool call, so both writes to one row resolve through the same
reference and the newest body wins.

A settled write also supersedes any correction owed to its row. One `itemId` is
legitimately written under two references — `claudeToolIdentity` is keyed on the
tool id alone — and a settled write already carries a final verdict, so an
outstanding correction could only restamp it from a reference that write did not
use. Dropped rather than re-bodied for that reason.

Adds the ledger's first unit tests, including the invariant this defect broke: a
correction changes a row's attribution and never its content.

* fix(claude): keep a correction owed when the sink refuses it

A correction went out through the plain append, which discards the queue's
admission. Under backpressure the write was refused and `retry` had already
dropped the entry, so the obligation died with nothing re-deriving it — the
failure class this work exists to refuse. It is self-feeding too: a correction
costs a commit on the same serialized writer that carries live rows, so the
burst that generates many corrections is what builds the backlog that drops
them.

It now uses the admission-returning path the sink already exposes, keeps the
entry outstanding on a refusal, and lets `abandon` try once more. A refusal
there ends it: the row keeps the spawn call's own id, which is usable, and an
obligation with no exit is worse than one that settles for less. `settle` also
reports what actually happened instead of always claiming it wrote, so publish
no longer fires for a write nobody accepted.

Also records why the live-turn scans may read the turn record before checking
the producer. A turn is the session's unit of work and no producer of a
turn-bearing body stamps linkage: Claude's turn rows carry none, Codex has no
linkage concept, the compact row passes only a fence, and the stale-turn sweep
goes through the lifecycle-batch path, which cannot carry linkage by type. The
ordering is safe by construction rather than by accident, and the comment says
so, so a future producer knows what it would break.

* fix(claude): never read a row naming a parent as the session's own

A non-null `parent_tool_use_id` names a child, always. The resolver still had
one branch that read such rows as the session's own agent's — a release that
had announced no task, where the comment claimed "there is no handle to stamp".
There is one: the reference itself. The branch was buying a false attribution to
avoid an id nothing joins on, which is the trade already reversed once for
forwarded spawn calls, and every reader of this field is a presence test.

So the branch goes, and with it the `root` arm of the verdict and the resolver's
whole dependency on whether the release announces tasks. Two states remain:
linked now, or linked now and owed a correction. The type deleted a stale test
double on sight, which is the argument for removing the arm rather than the
branch alone.

This also closes the severe half of the tool-origin eviction exposure. A spawn
id evicted from the bounded top-level set used to flip the release check on and
stamp a child's rows as the parent's; with nothing returning root that cannot
happen. What remains is a missed correction, which splits one child across two
ids — the same end state as passing the correction bound, benign in kind and
disclosed.

`isForwardedParentTool` stays where it gates PENDINGNESS. It now decides only
whether a correction is owed, never whether a row is a child's, so a stale
answer costs precision rather than correctness.

* docs(attr-parent-label): record the attribution defect and its constraints

* docs(attr-parent-label): verify at source and decide the attribution mechanism

Re-baselined against origin/main (one unrelated commit; no drift in any cited
file). Confirmed the two unverified items at source, found a third reader with
the same defect and a fourth append path a naive fix would miss, and recorded
the producer-attribution decision with its field shape, migration behaviour,
wire category, tests and implementation order.

* fix(native-chat): stop a subagent's output speaking for the agent that spawned it

One journal is the durable record of one agent session, but a session that runs
subagents journals their rows into it too, with nothing on the row saying which
agent wrote it. Every "what is this agent doing right now" reader is a backward
scan bounded by markers only the root agent writes, so the window is guaranteed
to hold foreign rows and, while a subagent runs, the newest row in it is the
child's. The sidebar therefore showed a child's prose and a child's running tool
on the parent's row.

Attribute at the producer instead of guessing at the reader. The Claude
translator already parses `parent_tool_use_id` on every envelope and threw it
away; it now stamps `producedBySubagent` on every row that envelope produces,
including the streamed-text path, which persists from a callback with no
envelope in scope and takes the flag from the block identity registry that
already scopes itself on that id. The three status readers skip non-root rows
through one shared predicate. The transcript is deliberately left unscoped: it
shows every agent's output.

No schema version bump, no upcaster, no backfill. An unknown `v` makes a row
unreadable and latches the host read-only, while an unknown key is ignored, so
an older host reads a stamped row and behaves exactly as it does today. Rows
written before the flag read as root, which reproduces today's behaviour for
that history exactly.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 1798786d4e perf(native-chat): mount only the transcript rows near the viewport (#19869)
* refactor(native-chat): share one row-content derivation between row and list

Windowing needs the list and the row to agree on which messages draw
nothing: a row the list counts but the row declines to render would
reserve estimated height for an empty slot.

Extracts the block derivation out of NativeChatMessageRow into a module
cached on the block array, so a streaming turn pays for it once per
revision rather than once per consumer.

* refactor(native-chat): keep an opened tool run open past its row's lifetime

A tool run, tool line or diff card the reader opened is state they created, but
it lives in the component's own `useState`. That is fine while every row is
mounted forever. It stops being fine the moment rows can be unmounted: the run
silently re-collapses behind the reader's back.

Rows now read their disclosure from a transcript-level map when one is provided
and fall back to their own state when they are rendered standalone. The controls
that re-sync a run — the toolbar's expand-all, a turn's disclosure, a diff
reveal — are folded into the key the choice is remembered under, so a control
flip reads as "nothing recorded yet" and the new default stands without a
mid-render write to a map an ancestor owns.

`ToolLine` moves to its own file; the run was over the line cap with it.

* perf(native-chat): mount only the transcript rows near the viewport

A settled transcript mounts every row it has ever loaded, so the cost of opening
a conversation grows with its length even though only a screenful is legible.
Rows near the viewport are now the only ones in the document; the rest are
reserved as estimated height and measured when they arrive.

Four things had to change for that to be safe:

- `zoom` moves from the transcript column onto the scroll container. Item
  measurements are in the zoomed content's pixels while `scrollTop` is not, so
  with the two split across the boundary the window's arithmetic was off by
  exactly the font scale — correct at the top of a transcript and blank deep
  inside it. The column's padding moves to a new inner element to keep the
  layout it had. This does mean the scrollbar itself zooms with the text.
- The three siblings that made up a row — the message, the turn status, the
  turn's diff rollup — move into one wrapper that carries the spacing they used
  to take from the column. The spacing between rows is the window's `gap`, never
  the height estimate, which would otherwise be counted twice.
- Messages that draw nothing no longer take a slot. Counted but undrawn, each
  one would reserve estimated height for a row that never appears.
- Paging in older history is driven by scroll events alone. Every row that
  resolves its real height moves the content and re-fires the size observers, so
  the old "am I near the top?" test would have asked for another page once per
  measurement. It now also requires the view to have moved upwards and requires
  new items since the last request.

Anchoring is the virtualizer's: `anchorTo: 'end'` re-resolves the row at the
current offset across a count change, which replaces the hand-rolled prepend
anchor, and `followOnAppend` keeps a reader at the bottom pinned there. The
document-level bottom pin stays, because the typing indicator, the activity line
and the column's end padding all live past the last row.

Revealing a diff from a turn rollup can target a row that isn't mounted, so that
row is pinned into the window and the card still reports its own position — a
turn that touched four files lands on the one that was asked for.

* fix(native-chat): let a pinned row reach the mounted window

Two faults the windowing tests turned up, plus the handles they needed.

The virtualizer memoizes its mounted index list on the range extractor's
identity. Holding that identity stable — which is right for the measurement
memo, and was the reason it was written that way — meant a row pinned after the
fact was never picked up: revealing a diff in a row the window had left behind
pointed at a row that stayed unmounted. The extractor now changes identity with
the pinned set, which is not a dependency of the measurement memo, so nothing
expensive is rebuilt.

The offset a row sits at is read off the `offsetParent` chain, with a rect-based
fallback for the case where there is none. Using that fallback for the window's
own scroll margin was wrong in kind: with no layout to measure, it returns the
scroll position itself, so the margin tracked the offset and the window sat at
the top of the transcript wherever the reader scrolled. The margin now takes the
offset chain or nothing; the fallback stays where it belongs, on the reveal.

The scroll root and the window's spacer are named, so measurement can find the
scroll root without depending on which utility class makes it scroll, and so a
test can tell a window from a whole transcript.

* test(native-chat): cover the windowed transcript, and prove the window engaged

The integration harness stubs `offsetHeight` — on the scroll root and on every
row — because that is what the virtualizer measures with, and a DOM without
layout answers zero to all of it. Rows report the height their own estimate
predicted, which keeps the reserved totals exact no matter which rows have been
mounted long enough to be measured.

Every case reads the window through one helper that refuses to pass when there
is no window. Without that, raising the usability gate would send all of them
down the whole-transcript path, where "fewer rows mounted than messages" is
false but every other assertion still holds — and they would go on reporting
green while covering nothing. Reserved height is asserted as an exact total
rather than "greater than zero", which a degenerate empty window also satisfies,
and the mounted range is asserted to bracket the offset rather than merely to be
smaller than the transcript.

Covered: the window mounts a subset and moves with the reader; the newest row
and a reveal's target stay mounted from outside it; an opened tool run is still
open when its row comes back; a message that draws nothing takes no slot; and
the scroll root with no usable height still renders every row as a direct child
of the transcript column.

What the environment cannot show is stated where it matters rather than faked:
its ResizeObserver never fires and a scroll assignment emits no event, so
measurement settling, the bottom pin under a streaming turn, prepend anchoring
and smooth scrolling are covered as pure decisions — height estimation, the
pinned set, range extraction, and whether a position should page in older
history — and left to a real renderer as behaviour.

* docs(native-chat): say that one offset path does read rects

* test(native-chat): pin the window against a row that grows in place

Whole-message appends were covered; a row being replaced by a taller
version of itself — what a streaming reply is — was not. The existing
windowing harness gains two things it needs to see that: a scroll root
with a real document (a height, a viewport, and a scrollTop that clamps),
and a resize observer that delivers when a target's height actually
changed, since happy-dom's never fires and nothing re-measures without it.

Frame by frame, while one row grows from 24px to 6358px: the view stays
0px from the bottom, the row stays mounted, and the reserved total tracks
the measurement rather than the estimate. A reader who scrolls up mid
growth keeps the exact offset they chose for the rest of it.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 2626e2eca4 Make the structured turn lifecycle row durable so completed durations survive (#19695)
* Make the structured turn lifecycle row durable so completed durations survive

A structured-chat turn used to end by tombstoning its running lifecycle item,
which threw away the only durable record of when the turn ended. Completed
"Worked for" labels therefore depended on the renderer having observed the
turn finish, and vanished on reopen.

The lifecycle item is now revised in place, never tombstoned:
- running, with startedAt, at the provider's turn start
- completed or interrupted, with completedAt, at the provider's terminal frame,
  a user stop, or a child exit the host observed
- unverifiable, with no end, when a cold acquire finds a running row from a
  generation whose exit nobody observed

Both timestamps are the execution host's clock at receipt, captured before the
deferred sink, so the completed value is identical on every client and needs
no client clock. Codex history restore uses the provider's own second-granular
endpoints for turns that predate this change. Desktop and mobile read settled
durations off the journal through one shared selector, and anchor the live
counter on the host start with the client's local receipt so a skewed client
clock never leaks into the label. Locally observed durations remain the
fallback for hosts that still tombstone.

Timestamps live inside the existing turnLifecycle field, which old clients
strip, and every working-state consumer keys on state === 'running', so no
capability negotiation is needed.

* native-chat: avoid stale working status on settled turns

* test: align settled turn status expectations

* Name settled lifecycle rows by their terminal state

An interrupted or unverifiable turn must not read as completed for any
consumer that renders status text raw. One shared helper builds the text for
both providers from the lifecycle state.

* test: deduplicate turn lifecycle suites

Each behavior keeps one test; duplicated harnesses and restated cases go.

* Key lifecycle rows to their user item and record the provider's measured duration

A lifecycle row now names the user item that opened the turn by its provider
key, so clients attribute timing explicitly and fall back to journal order
only for rows from older hosts. A provider-initiated turn with no prompt can
no longer claim the previous prompt's duration.

When the provider measures the turn itself (Codex turn.durationMs, Claude
result.duration_ms) the terminal row records it and clients prefer it over the
host interval, so a turn shows the same number live and after a history
restore. Host receipt times remain the live-counter anchor and the fallback.

* Record a turn as a first-class journal item

The turn record is now its own item kind rather than a status row carrying a
lifecycle field: no text to misuse, and the fold matches the durable turn
record other systems keep. Rows that carry it are stamped journal schema v3;
every other row stays v2, so an older host keeps reading them and latches
read-only at the first v3 row instead of truncating the epoch.

Clients that predate the item would paint an unknown kind as a text bubble,
so the host publishes the legacy status form to any client that does not
advertise agent-session.turn-item.v1, through the same per-client seam
background tasks use. The downgrade is transitional and goes once no
supported release lacks the capability. The shared projection now renders
unknown item kinds as nothing, so later kinds need no gate. One shared reader
handles both forms for old journals and old hosts.

* Preserve observed turn end across settlement retries

* Retain turn attribution for loaded chat history

* Preserve Codex exit receipt across close retries

* Register completed turn duration reliability gate

* Keep earlier turns through a Codex rewind and count a mid-turn attach from the real start

Findings from an independent adversarial review of the typed turn record:

- A Codex rewind adopted the provider's item list as the new epoch, and the
  provider never returns the host's own turn rows, so every duration before
  the rewind point vanished. The host's turn rows are now spliced back beside
  the item each followed, and recovery no longer expects the provider to
  prove rows it never owned.
- The epoch row was stamped with the current schema version, so an older host
  latched read-only at row 1 of every new session, defeating the mixed
  version design. It carries no body and stays at v2; a stored-row test now
  reads SQLite directly, because the reader upcasts every row on read.
- A send Codex folds into a running turn shares the opening prompt's provider
  key, and the alias map credited the duration to the later prompt. The
  earliest submission naming a key now wins.
- The live counter anchored on first sight, so a client attaching mid-turn
  counted from zero. Published frames now carry the host's clock, the reducer
  keeps the last sample with its local receipt time, and both clients anchor
  on how long the host says the turn has run.

* Correct turn duration gate assertion reference

* Respect authoritative unknown native chat duration

* Preserve unverifiable timing across older host upgrade

* Record final completed turn duration reliability evidence

* Fix the CI failures the merge left behind

- A merged import list named the same module twice, which the native code
  quality plugin fails on.
- A running turn is now reported by the host with no duration, so the settled
  map carries an explicit null for it; the hook test still expected the entry
  to be absent.
- main gave the older-page action a cursor with a head-trim guard, so the
  retention test's epoch-only action no longer typechecks; it now passes an
  unbounded sequence, which is what the old shape meant.
- The roster comparator moved into the extracted module, leaving its import
  unused in the reducer.

* Split two files back under the line cap after the merge

Merging main put both one effective line over 300, and the cap forbids a
disable or a shave. The wire module's refusal vocabulary moves to its own file
and is re-exported, so its consumers are untouched; the host's four thin
mutation delegates move next to the functions they call.

* Advertise the turn-item capability on every client transport

Local IPC and mobile advertised it; the remote and web transports did not, so a
desktop paired to a remote host, the CLI, and web silently ran on the legacy
carrier forever and the canonical row was never exercised there. The renderer
that paints it is the same build on every transport.

* Update the web auth-frame expectation for the new capability

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 2f828e4462 fix(native-chat): show Claude working from the send, not the provider echo (#19822)
* fix(native-chat): show Claude working from the send, not the provider echo

A structured session read as working only once a turnLifecycle row existed.
Codex writes that row ~150ms after the send; Claude cannot write it until the
SDK echoes the user message back, measured at a 3.4s median and 18s at p90, so
the chat and every session list read idle for the whole wait.

The journalled submission is the host's own evidence a turn is owed, so the
shared projection reads it too. `unknown` still counts -- the ack budget
elapsing answers delivery, not whether work is owed -- while a recovered
`unknown` does not, which needed the existing row flag carried onto the
projected submission.

Claude's activity line now stays the generic fallback. Its only turn-wide frame
carries a bare token, and its task_* prose describes a spawned task rather than
this turn; compaction is kept because it explains an otherwise silent wait.

* Fix structured chat pending-work lifecycle and mobile cancellation

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim c7bcfa750a fix: restore the full sidebar agent row for structured native chat (#19137)
* fix: restore the full sidebar agent row for structured native chat

The host status feed projected only state, prompt, and agent type, so a
structured Claude/Codex row fell back to the tab title and the agent-type
label where a hook-reported row shows the running tool, the agent's last
message, and the model.

Project the tool line and the newest assistant prose from the journal, and
take the model from the session record's acknowledged options. The tool scan
stops at the live turn's lifecycle row and only runs while a turn is running,
so an abandoned call from a crashed turn is never reported as live work. The
assistant line is bounded to the shared preview cap rather than the hook
field's 8 KB body: a streamed reply re-projects on every journal checkpoint,
and the row renders one line of it.

* fix: keep structured session status current

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 2513e21390 fix(native-chat): publish structured session status from the host so the sidebar never goes stale (#18776)
* fix(native-chat): publish structured session status from the host

The sidebar learned whether a structured chat was mid-turn by replaying
the session journal in the renderer, through a reader whose lifetime was
tied to the chat pane. Hiding the pane stopped the reader before the
turn's settlement arrived, so the row stayed on "working" until the chat
was reopened. The same coupling meant a tab never opened this session
showed no status at all, and a reloaded renderer lost every settled row.

The host owns the journal, so it now projects each session's status once
per journal publication and fans the changes out on one stream per client
(`agentSession.subscribeStatus`). The projection survives eviction of an
idle session's provider child and is republished when readable sessions
are restored. The renderer bridge subscribes to that feed per runtime
target and never opens a transcript reader; the observation hook is gone.

Additive wire surface behind the existing structured capability; old
hosts reject the method and the renderer retries, showing no status.

* fix(native-chat): negotiate the status feed and stop losing a change on subscribe

The status stream is additive to a surface that already shipped, so a host
advertising agent-session.structured.v1 can still answer subscribeStatus with
method_not_found. Every renderer error path reconnected, so a remote host one
release behind got a relay round-trip every 5s and no sidebar status at all.
Give the method its own capability and probe it before subscribing; a failed
probe still retries, an absent capability does not.

Re-projecting on subscribe also wrote straight into the shared cache, so a
second client could pin the first to a stale summary. Route those diffs
through publish() before the arriving subscriber is registered.

* fix(native-chat): bound the status prompt, merge snapshots, and prove the unread path

One status frame carries every retained session and a send admits 256 KB per
prompt, so ~16 large-prompt sessions could push the snapshot past the 4 MB
outbound guard and into the retry loop. Bound latestPrompt to the same
200-char single-line preview every other agent-status row already carries.

A snapshot also replaced the cached map wholesale, so the empty first frame
from a restarting host retracted every row before restore republished them.
Merge instead; the tab map, not this feed, decides which sessions are listed.

Tests: the hidden-pane claim now sits at the host, where a journal with no
transcript subscriber is driven from running to idle; the RPC test reads a
real projection instead of its own stub.

* fix(native-chat): merge the duplicated status-event type import

* test(native-chat): pin the restart status publication, and log the unsupported host

Startup restore indexes a readable session and publishes its status, which is
what puts a never-reopened tab back in the sidebar. Only an Electron screenshot
covered that wiring; a sitting status subscriber now pins it directly.

The terminal "host too old" branch was silent, so a mixed-version report showed
an empty sidebar with nothing in the log to explain it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two proven blockers in the native Codex tab contract:

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): anchor an unmatched chat echo where it was sent (#16117)

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(native-chat): keep leading folded echoes in place

* fix(workspace-cleanup): show git status for every row (#16690)

* fix(native-chat): refuse structured chat on every Windows execution path

canUseStructuredNativeChat only refused win32 when a project runtime
resolved, so folder-workspace keys (and other keys with no project
runtime) failed open into structured chat on Windows. Fail closed on
win32 unconditionally after the host check, matching the settings copy:
local macOS/Linux only; Windows/WSL/SSH stay on terminal chat.

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

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

render-time previous-value guard instead.

a6e2379bd1 replaced this test with the in-flight settlement race test,
leaving the render-time error reset unpinned: deleting the reset block
still passed the whole native-chat suite. Keep both scenarios pinned;
they are distinct (settled error clears on switch vs stale settlement
invalidated in the commit-to-passive window).

The two trailing CR bytes on the patch's deletion lines are a proven
no-op: pnpm hashes patches CRLF-normalized (both forms hash to the
lockfile's 946ffb2b) and materializes this package without applying the
patch in either form, so the load-bearing build edits come solely from
applyWindowsProcessTreeBuildFixes() (#16947), which handles both source
EOL forms. Restore byte-identity with main and repin the contract test
to the post-#16947 reality: LF-only patch bytes plus lockfile hash sync.

* fix(native-chat): skip empty startup recovery
