14d4bb2e2a fix(ssh): Windows hosts without Add-Type staging; runtime-store GC on Windows (#24149)
* fix(ssh): collect the pinned-Node runtime store on Windows hosts

Windows SSH hosts now run runtime-store GC instead of skipping it: one
PowerShell inventory reads .runtime-ref-node-<sha> and .runtime-node refs from
every version dir, and one Get-CimInstance Win32_Process query filtered on an
image path under runtimes\ adds process holds (never by image name; a failed
query keeps everything). Stale upload stages are swept with the same rule as
POSIX. Promotion and the post-upload hold check now take the store lock on
Windows too, and the lock's own commands run unwrapped there.

Windows relay version-dir liveness now honours .relay-pid (design D5): a live
PID answers ALIVE before any pipe is touched, a dead one (ESRCH) plus refusing
pipes is exited, anything else is unverifiable. The runtime probe adopts a
pinned node.exe an earlier vault reader left without a .verified marker after
running it.

* fix(ssh): Windows stage fencing and vault runtime go through the verified node.exe

Upload-stage file identity on Windows no longer compiles an Add-Type P/Invoke
helper when the relay runs on Orca's verified pinned node.exe: the stage
commands run a fixed fs.lstatSync(..., {bigint:true}) script through it. It
prints the legacy helper's vol:high:low lowercase hex, and identity files are
compared after normalising hex spelling, so old and new clients recover each
other's stages. Host-Node relays keep the legacy helper; the choice is
documented in windows-edr-posture.md.

The Windows OpenCode vault reader now installs the pinned runtime through
ensureRemoteOrcadNodeRuntime (official zip, host-side extraction, .verified,
store lock) instead of uploading a client-extracted node.exe, and the relay dir
gains a .runtime-ref-node-<sha> so store GC keeps the runtime the vault uses.

* test(ssh): run the Windows stage-identity and store-GC tests on the Windows lane

The legacy/node.exe identity compatibility test and the Win32_Process hold path
were gated to win32 but no CI lane ran them. Add both files to the Windows
package lane and a real running-node.exe hold test.

* test(ssh): tear down Windows-lane temp trees through removeTreeSync

* test(ssh): grant the store lock to the Windows OpenCode runtime setup test

The Windows promote now runs under runtimes/.store-lock, so the mocked host
must answer the lock's CreateNew step.

OrcaWinandm4air d2dfc79764 ci(daemon): runtime-launcher protocol ratchet and Node slot marker (#24108)
* ci(daemon): gate PRs on daemon protocol crossing from the newest release

Lands daemon-protocol-facts.mjs from the Windows update diagnostic branch with a
stricter parser, and adds check-daemon-protocol-crossing.mjs (rule R1): the working
tree must attach the newest release tag's daemon. Rollback crossing is reported only.
Runs in the cross-version-wire job, which already has full tags; tag selection moves
to config/scripts/stable-release-tags.mjs so both use one rule.

* feat(persistence): run profile backups in the worker whenever its entry is bundled

* refactor(orcad): make profile and native preflight runtime-neutral

The profile preflight parser now takes the expected runtime identity from the
caller (shipped callers pass the pinned Bun identity), and the native
preflight is renamed to orcad-runtime-native-preflight with neutral wording.

* feat(runtime): pin the Node 24.21.0 server runtime with an offline CI check

Add src/shared/node-runtime-pin.ts (NODE_RUNTIME_PIN, SERVER_TARGETS,
NODE_RUNTIME_ASSETS for all 8 server targets plus the headers tarball),
generated by config/scripts/update-node-runtime-pin.mjs from the nodejs.org
and unofficial-builds SHASUMS. check-node-runtime-pin.mjs verifies, with no
network, that the pin tracks the locked Electron, matches engines.node's
major, and covers exactly SERVER_TARGETS; it runs in the static analysis job.

ORCAD_BUN_TARGETS consumers now read SERVER_TARGETS so there is one target
list; orcad's Bun runtime and build output are unchanged.

* test(persistence): skip plain-Node backup selection tests in the Bun profile suite

* fix(runtime): reject a pinned archive that belongs to another target

* ci(daemon): fail PRs that swap a runtime launcher and bump the daemon protocol

D7.1 R3: hosting orcad or the daemon on another runtime is not a protocol change,
so one PR must not do both. The launcher file list lives in the check script; the
allow-runtime-launcher-protocol-bump label overrides it.

* feat(orcad): select pinned-Node slots by a .runtime-node marker

D7.1 R5: a Node slot names its shared runtimes/node-<sha256>/node through
.runtime-node instead of .build-target, so Bun-era clients read it as a legacy
slot rather than exiting 78 on a missing bun-runtime. Nothing builds the marker yet.

* fix(runtime): load the Node pin without the typeless-module warning

check-node-runtime-pin.mjs now requires the pin and takes nodeDistArchiveName from
its own module, so it no longer loads the update script's build graph.

* fix(orcad): resolve Node slots to the design's runtimes/node-<sha>/bin/node layout

Brennan Benson 12b8ef8c0b fix(worktree): update local main safely, once per branch, alongside the checkout (#23698)
* fix(worktree): retry local main refresh through git lock contention and skip false alarms

* fix(worktree): overlap the local main refresh with the checkout and run one refresh per repo at a time

* fix(worktree): skip the local base refresh when the create makes that branch itself

Creating a workspace named feature-x from origin/feature-x runs `worktree add -b feature-x`,
which now overlaps the refresh. The refresh's drift probe could see refs/heads/feature-x
missing and its presence probe then see it (the add just wrote it), which reported
"not fast-forward" and showed a sticky "Local feature-x was not refreshed" warning.
`-b` refuses an existing branch, so there is nothing to refresh in that case: skip it on
the local, prepared-checkout and SSH create paths.

The SSH overlap tests move to their own file so the existing suite stays under the line limit.

* fix(worktree): say plainly what happens after the local base refresh queue wait expires

* test(worktree): prove SSH local base refreshes of one repo run one at a time

* test(worktree): drop type assertions from the SSH refresh overlap test mocks

* fix(worktree): fast-forward local main with one host-owned merge --ff-only per branch

Moves the whole local base refresh into one shared routine that runs on the
execution host (main process for local and WSL repos, the relay for SSH), so
the app no longer keeps a second copy of the checks, queue and retry.

A checked-out branch now moves with merge --ff-only (hooks, auto-gc and
autostash off) instead of status-then-reset --hard, which silently overwrote an
untracked file the new commit adds and could discard an edit or a commit made
after the check. A free branch moves with a compare-and-swap update-ref that
writes a reflog message. Status reads no longer take index.lock.

Creates of one branch share one run plus at most one trailing run; a create
waits at most 30 s and never starts a competing mutation. The failure toast is
keyed by repo and branch because every create that joined a run reports the
same fact.

* fix(worktree): fast-forward local main even when the repo requires signed merges

With merge.verifySignatures=true, the owner-checkout fast-forward refused an
unsigned origin/main tip, so every create warned "Local main was not
refreshed" where the old reset moved main. The new workspace is already
created from that same unsigned commit, and a branch that is not checked out
moves without a signature check, so the refusal protected nothing. Turn the
setting off for this one merge, like the hooks, gc and autostash overrides.

* fix(worktree): clear git read caches when a shared local main update lands late

The update of local main can finish after a create stopped waiting for it, so
the shared run now invalidates git read caches itself. The index.lock real-git
test also no longer reads the developer's global git config.

* fix(worktree): never overwrite an ignored file when fast-forwarding local main

A plain `git merge --ff-only` silently replaces an ignored file (for example a
local `.env`) at a path the new commit starts tracking. Pass
`--no-overwrite-ignore` so git refuses instead and the create reports the
checkout as having local changes. Supported on the fast-forward path since
well before Git 2.25.

Also make the relay test for one-refresh-per-branch hold the first merge until
the second request has reached the relay, so it fails without the coalescing.

* fix(worktree): keep the local main update a plain fast-forward whatever the user's merge settings say

A per-branch mergeOptions such as '-s ours' or '--squash', or pull.twohead=ours,
made the update create a merge commit that dropped upstream, or stage upstream
without moving main, while reporting success. The command now clears the
branch's mergeOptions and passes the strategy and signature choice on the
command line, which beats any config. After the move Orca confirms local main
is exactly the target before reporting it updated. The exact command also runs
in the Git 2.25 compatibility suite.

* fix(worktree): make the Git 2.25 fast-forward contract pass in CI and rerun on every change to it

The new real-Git contract for the local main fast-forward wrote a post-merge hook into .git/hooks, which does not exist when the repo is created by the uninstalled Git 2.25.5 build CI uses (no templates), so the Git compatibility check failed. Create the directory first.

The Git compatibility check also did not run when only the fast-forward module changed, so a later edit to its merge arguments (for example a flag Git 2.25 lacks) would skip the one check that tests them. Add the module to the check's paths.

* fix(worktree): answer every create from a local main update toward its own base

Creates from different remotes' main (origin/main and upstream/main) shared one queued update
per repo and branch, which ran only the latest caller's target: a create could get no result
for its own base, or a false "not refreshed" warning computed for another remote's main.

The per-branch runner now queues one run per distinct target, still one at a time per branch,
and only callers toward the same target share a queued run. Applied in the app and the relay.

* test(worktree): record the third create's result in the mixed-remote burst tests and update the toast id rationale

* chore(worktree): correct the toast id rationale

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This reverts commit 1bd30651d6.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No product change.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jinwoo Hong 26bb7c23f1 fix(terminal): run Orca's cmd.exe, path-named and setup-gated Codex launches without the shared server (#23933)
* fix(terminal): give plain shells and cmd.exe Codex launches --no-daemon

Plain bash, zsh and fish tabs were never wrapped, so a typed codex skipped the
shell function that adds --no-daemon. Wrap them (bash keeps its prompt and
DEBUG trap untouched unless Orca asked for command markers), add --no-daemon
host-side where no function can run (cmd.exe, path-named binaries), and move
new tabs to a v38 terminal daemon so they get the new wrappers.

* fix(terminal): keep plain bash a login shell and give the setup gate the codex function

Plain bash and Git Bash tabs launch exactly as before again: the rcfile
wrapper would have made every one a non-login shell. Plain tabs on the
user's configured shell args stay unwrapped on both transports. The
wait-for-setup gate's bash -lc now defines the codex function, so a
sequenced Codex launch gets --no-daemon from the binary it actually runs.

* fix(terminal): define the setup gate's codex function after setup finishes

Setup can be what puts codex on PATH, so defining the function before the
marker wait found no binary and skipped --no-daemon.

* refactor(terminal): fold the SSH/WSL guard into the Codex launch planner and bound the gate test

* fix(terminal): honour the pane's env deletions in the Codex opt-out check

Also pin the setup-gate test's fake codex ahead of path_helper's PATH.

* revert(terminal): launch plain zsh and fish tabs exactly as on main

Drops the always-wrap for plain zsh and fish, the configured-args guard
that only served it, and the v38 daemon bump: the daemon's launch configs
and generated wrappers are byte-identical to main again. Keeps the
host-side --no-daemon for cmd.exe and path-named launches and the setup
gate's codex function.

Jinwoo Hong 9f4311598f fix(codex): trust the worktree Codex starts in, not a guessed repo root (#23937)
* fix(codex): trust the path Codex checks for bare-repo worktrees

Codex keys a linked worktree's trust on the main checkout only when that
checkout's .git leads back to the common git dir; otherwise (bare repo,
--separate-git-dir) it keys on the worktree itself. Orca always wrote the
main-checkout key, so Codex showed its trust prompt and worker-start
failed at agent_readiness.

Mirror trust.rs exactly, and pin it with a real-binary contract that
runs in the existing Codex contract CI job.

Fixes #23847

* fix(codex): trust the worktree path itself instead of mirroring trust.rs

Codex looks up the cwd's own [projects] entry before any repo root
(config_toml.rs get_active_project, loader decision_for_dir), so trusting
the workspace realpath satisfies every git layout. Drops the
resolve_root_git_project_for_trust mirror: simpler, cannot drift from
Codex, and never widens trust past the folder Orca launched in. Cost is
one config entry per worktree; entries older Orca wrote on main
checkouts stay valid.

The six real-git layout tests now assert the workspace key and, under
the contract, that real Codex starts workspaceWrite for each. The
contract probes the binary version once and fails at load when required
but missing; its CI path filter now includes config-toml-trust.

Brennan BensonandClaude 7a24d3d335 fix(native-chat): the conversation outlives its agent (#22835)
* refactor(native-chat): remove the unused terminal handoff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* 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

* 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.

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

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

* fix(native-chat): 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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(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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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(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.

* 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): 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): 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.

* 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.

* 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 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): 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(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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

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.

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

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

* test(native-chat): type the stalled snapshot drain without a cast

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

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

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

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

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

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.

* 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.

OrcaWinandm4air 4b6fe95943 fix(windows): preserve relocated terminals and native process scans (#22872)
* fix(windows): ship the process-table addon to the relocated daemon host

The Windows terminal daemon runs from a copy of the app under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Orca\daemon-host\<version>. That copy took node-pty but not
@vscode/windows-process-tree, so the daemon's bare require of the addon found
nothing and every process-table read (foreground tracking, descendant sweeps)
fell back to a powershell.exe Get-CimInstance scan (#16905).

- Copy the addon's runtime files (package.json, lib/, the .node binary) into
  the host; the ~25MB of gyp intermediates beside them are filtered out.
- Treat a host missing those files as unmaterialized, so hosts built before
  this are rebuilt, and skip relocation if the install itself lacks them.
- Log the daemon's native/CIM capability at startup and warn once when the
  process table falls back to CIM.

Brennan Benson 067975bfd1 fix(native-chat): every lease latch has a way to die (#22820)
* fix(native-chat): every lease latch has a way to die

A failed exit settlement no longer leaves the lease in recovery: the release
writes no stage and keeps the exit in its death evidence, and whatever the dead
generation left running is settled from that evidence at the next acquire or
read restore. The settlement retry flag, its disposition and every branch that
read it are gone. A reservation that recorded no process is released at
startup and after a failed start, the never-written conflicted status and the
processless proof are deleted, recovery resolution always concludes, and Codex
records its child's identity at spawn, before the handshake.

* test(native-chat): a re-create needs a release proven by death evidence

* test(codex): the child's pid is reported before the handshake

* test(native-chat): type the crash and exit fixtures without casts

* fix(native-chat): wait out a terminal owner an older build recorded, in recovery rather than manual recovery

* test(native-chat): a chat mid-turn at quit reopens idle, and an older build reads an unproven release

* test(native-chat): explain the baseline store cast

* fix(native-chat): a terminal owner's refusal names the process instead of recursing

Opening a chat whose terminal owner an older build recorded threw a stack
overflow instead of the refusal that names the process to quit.

* fix(native-chat): wait out a terminal owner recovery cannot verify instead of releasing it

A terminal agent an older build recorded keeps its PTY across an Orca
restart, so a probe that cannot answer (a start-time read that fails on a
loaded host) is not evidence its transport is gone. Releasing it let a
native child resume the same conversation beside the live terminal agent.
Only proof of its exit now ends the claim.

* ci(cross-version): run the unproven-release downgrade test

The sharded unit job excludes tests/e2e/cross-version-wire, and the
cross-version job runs an explicit list that did not name the new test,
so it never ran in CI. A change to the record validator now also starts
the job.

* refactor(native-chat): map the retired manual-recovery stage to recovering at decode

Nothing in this build writes manual-recovery, and restart reconciliation
already rewrites it. Mapping it where the other retired handoff stages are
mapped removes it from the in-memory lease type and deletes the branches
that could only see it: the acquisition refusal, the renewer skip, the
unproven-release stage check, and the handoff-status 'manual recovery is
required' answer. Older builds accept recovering, so a record written back
still loads after a downgrade.

* docs(native-chat): say what happens to a live child an ownerless reservation leaves

The reaper runs once at store open, while the unreconciled lease still
claims the child's token, so it does not stop that child on this launch.
The comment claimed it did.

* test(native-chat): name the each-case label for its role

* fix(native-chat): continue a create retried after recovery released its reservation

The client retries a create it never heard back from under the same operation id.
Recovery had released that create's reservation, so the retry was refused
agent_session_ownership_unknown while its row was pending, and
agent_session_operation_expired once the row aged out, and the chat never started.
A retry whose lease nothing holds now continues as a fresh reservation at the next
fence, which also stops the old reservation's spawn from committing.

* test(native-chat): name the refusal a replayed create used to get

* fix(native-chat): one quit-the-terminal-agent message for a chat a terminal agent holds

A chat held by a terminal agent an older build recorded frees only when that agent
exits. Sending said to reopen the chat and opening it said two runtimes claimed
it; both now say the chat is open in a terminal agent, name its process, and say
to quit it. Error codes are unchanged.

* ci: run PR checks on the rebased head

* fix(native-chat): name a terminal owner's process only when its start time can tell it from a reused pid

* test(native-chat): relaunch from the dying host's durable state, so its still-pending attach cannot race the new host

Jinwoo Hong a05649de91 fix(terminal): prove an idle Git Bash prompt through its bin launcher (#22752)
* fix(terminal): prove an idle Git Bash prompt through its bin launcher

Git for Windows' bin\bash.exe is a launcher that runs usr\bin\bash.exe as a
child and waits, so an idle Git Bash pane's job always holds two pids and the
Windows shell proof never confirmed it. Accept exactly the launcher plus its
direct bash.exe child, checked against the identity process table.

* test(terminal): wait for the Git Bash prompt before asserting the hand-off job

* fix(terminal): prove a Git Bash prompt as one unbranched MSYS bash chain

Orca launches Git Bash as bin\bash.exe -c "chcp.com ...; exec \"$BASH\" ... -i",
and each MSYS exec leaves its pre-exec process alive as a stub, so an idle
pane's job is launcher -> stub -> interactive bash. Accept any job that is one
parent-to-child chain rooted at the launcher whose every later member is
bash.exe, instead of a fixed two-process shape.

* ci: register the Git Bash shell-proof win32 test in the package-test list

* fix(terminal): read the spawned shell as a path, and keep one shell map

A spawned shell path with a space (/Users/John Doe/bin/zsh) was split as a
command line, so the POSIX proof compared against "john" and never
confirmed. Local panes now keep only the spawned shell path and derive the
name from it; the Git Bash chain walk drops guards the member check already
covers.

Jinwoo Hong da1c322b00 feat(mobile): one build-time switch picks native or OTA, default native (OTA phase E1) (#22193)
* feat(mobile): one build-time constant decides native or OTA, default native

EXPO_PUBLIC_MOBILE_SHELL is read in exactly one place, mobileShellBuildKind in
preferences.ts. Expo's babel preset inlines a literal process.env member
expression at build time, so a release bundle carries the answer as a constant
and anything but the exact string 'ota' — unset, empty, a typo — is native.
Every default build is therefore the native app, unchanged.

mobileWebShellFlagCanBeOn now answers __DEV__ or an OTA build, so the ability to
mount the page comes from the build and never from storage: a native binary
installed over an OTA one, same bundle id and same data container, still refuses
a stored 'true' without reading the key. An unset key reads on only in an OTA
build; a development build keeps its opt-in, and a stored 'false' wins
everywhere so the Troubleshoot toggle can switch an OTA build back to native.

That toggle now mounts wherever the flag can be on, which is the only way back
to the native screens in an OTA build, and its label names the build kind rather
than saying "(dev)". The bundle probe row beside it stays development-only: it
fetches.

The flag census gains two rules — one module reads the switch, in the member
form Expo inlines and not the bracket form, and one named function answers the
build kind — and the build-kind fence now lists the Troubleshoot route that asks
it. Docblocks that said a store build can never mount the shell now say it
mounts only when built for OTA.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* ci(mobile): one workflow input picks the shell, and no input means native

Both release workflows gain a `shell` workflow_dispatch choice, options native
and ota, default native, and hand it to the step that bundles the JavaScript as
EXPO_PUBLIC_MOBILE_SHELL. That is the Gradle assembleRelease step on Android and
the fastlane build_and_upload step on iOS; nothing else in either file sets it.

A tag push and a schedule carry no inputs at all, so `inputs.shell || 'native'`
yields native for them — the first OTA release is a dispatch with one field
changed, and every other run is the app we ship today.

Each build step prints the value it is about to build with, read back from the
same variable rather than from a second copy of the expression, so a run's log
cannot claim a shell the build did not use.

The new contract test evaluates that expression rather than matching its text:
absent, empty and 'native' all resolve to native, 'ota' to ota, and any
expression shape it cannot evaluate is a failure rather than a pass.

* build: the desktop packages the real page, and the placeholder is retired

build:mobile-web now runs the app builder and app verifier, and both take their
output root from MOBILE_WEB_BUNDLE_DIR in the packaging guard rather than each
carrying a constant of their own — one definition of where the bundle lives, so
a drift cannot leave electron-builder's beforePack looking at an empty directory
while the builder reports a tree it wrote elsewhere. build:mobile-web:app is
gone; it was the same two commands.

src/mobile-web/ and its two scripts go with it. What the app builder shared with
them is split into three modules named for what they hold rather than for the
bundle that used to own them: mobile-web-bundle-manifest.mjs (content types, the
canonical asset serialization, buildId, hashed assets, the protocol window and
the manifest write), script-entry-detection.mjs (isDirectInvocation, whose two
failure modes are Windows paths and symlinked entries), and
mobile-web-source-line-endings.mjs (the CRLF guard, now with a required
directory rather than a default pointing at the deleted tree).

The two suites that only needed *a* valid tree on disk — the beforePack guard
and the packaged-bundle guard — build one from mobile-web-bundle-fixture-tree
instead of bundling the whole mobile graph. It goes through the same manifest
writer the page does, so a manifest shape change still reaches them.

Also retired: the placeholder's tsconfig project and its typecheck lane, its
knip entry, its electron-builder exclusion and .gitattributes pins, and the
app-bundle test that asserted the shims stayed out of a builder that no longer
exists. pr.yml's page job builds the same bundle the package job ships.

Inert for native phones: they never fetch it.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* style(config): one import of node:fs/promises in the entry-detection suite

The changed-code quality gate's focused plugins read the two as a duplicate
import; the readFile line was left over from the split.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* docs: the comments that still describe the retired placeholder bundle

The web entry said it was built by `build:mobile-web:app` into out/mobile-web-app
and shipped by nothing. That script, that directory and that fact are all gone:
it is built by `build:mobile-web` into the packaged bundle dir, and a phone
mounts it only when the binary was built with EXPO_PUBLIC_MOBILE_SHELL=ota.

Two Windows cache keys explained themselves by naming src/mobile-web and "the
two bundle builders"; config/** now covers the builder, the verifier and the
manifest writer, and the spike's key no longer waits on a Phase C flip that has
happened. The keys themselves are unchanged.

Three scratch directories in the app-bundle suites and one in the verifier still
spelled the retired output root. Renamed to mobile-web, which is what the build
writes; they are temp subdirectory names and nothing reads them.

Jinwoo Hong 381a3da46f feat(build): Route A, the phone's host routes bundled for the web, dark (OTA phase C, C0.7) (#21449)
* refactor(mobile-web): share the bundle manifest assembly with a second builder

Manifest assembly and the on-disk write move to writeMobileWebBundleTree, and
the helpers the Phase C app builder needs become exports. No behaviour change
to the shipped bootstrap bundle.

The CRLF guard grows two exemptions it needs once it is pointed at mobile/src:
the image and font extensions .gitattributes already pins -text, and the
gitignored webview engine modules the postinstall writes.

* feat(mobile): web entry for the host route tree, and its two transport siblings

The entry mounts app/h on react-native-web through expo-router's own ExpoRoot.
It lives inside mobile/ so one React resolves, and supplies RpcClientProvider
itself: the route tree starts below the native root layout that owns it.

route-manifest.ts is a real typed module whose body the builder replaces --
esbuild has no require.context. A virtual specifier would need an ambient
declaration and would leave the entry unchecked.

Two .web.* siblings, both listed with a reason in web-overrides.json: the
transport substitution point (a placeholder client until C0.4 lands
BridgeRpcClient) and the device token store, whose native path imports
expo-secure-store, which is {} on web.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* feat(build): build:mobile-web:app, the phone's host routes bundled for the web

Same builder shape as the Phase A bootstrap into a separate out/mobile-web-app,
with the same manifest and the same two-scratch-build determinism check. Dark:
build:mobile-web, packaging and the A2 census are untouched, and C1 is what
flips build:release.

Six shims, each a named Metro or RN Web gap. Images are emitted as same-origin
hashed assets rather than data: URLs, because the shell's CSP sets img-src
'self'; the render check under that exact header is what found it. The script is
referenced root-absolute for the same reason a <base> tag cannot be used: the
document is served at every route depth and base-uri is 'none'.

The budget sits below the contract's per-asset ceiling so growth trips a build
rather than a refused asset on a phone. esbuild splitting does not lower it:
one entry with only static imports emits one chunk (measured).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* fix(mobile): let React Native Web paint under the shell CSP

RN Web 0.21.2 injects its stylesheet at runtime with no nonce support, so
style-src 'self' blocks every rule and the page renders unstyled. Measured, not
predicted: the render check serves the document under this exact header and
reported the violation.

'unsafe-inline' is granted to style-src and nothing else. script-src 'self'
holds, which is the directive that decides whether page code can arrive any way
other than as a fetched same-origin script. The test now pins that scoping
rather than rejecting the token everywhere.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* ci: prove the Route A app bundle on every PR

A dedicated job, for the same reason the browser provider has one: it needs
mobile/node_modules and a real browser, and the sharded test matrix would pay
for both on every shard. It builds the bundle, verifies it, and runs the
builder, override-census and render suites. It ships nothing.

The mobile_web_app signal is lifted out of should_run the way static_analysis
is. A mobile-only diff is desktop-irrelevant and skips every gated job, and
that is exactly the diff that changes the page this job builds.

Also the C0.6 review follow-up: mobile/package.json and mobile/pnpm-lock.yaml
join the installer cache keys in the two workflows that build an installer off
a hashFiles key, since beforePack requires out/mobile-web and a mobile-only
change must miss those caches rather than reuse a stale build.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): pin the shipped builder against the app builder's own module name

The assertion named a specifier that no longer exists, so it held vacuously.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(mobile): assert the RN Web style-src grant in the Swift checks

The Swift twin of the Kotlin CSP test still required style-src 'self' and
no unsafe-inline anywhere, so it trapped on the approved grant.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): make the Route A render check name what each route paints

The check asserted only "some html, no errors", which expo-router's Unmatched
screen satisfies: pointing HOST_ROUTE at /zzz/not-a-real-prefix stayed green.
Each route now asserts content only its own component produces, and the
unmatched case asserts the screen positively so the negatives discriminate.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): read the shell CSP past the comments that quote directives

Both constants document themselves with // comments containing quoted
directive text, which the quoted-string scan picked up as directives. One
parser now drops comment lines, and iOS and Android go through it.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* feat(build): honour a .web.* route sibling in the app bundle

Routes were imported by absolute path with the extension, so esbuild's
resolveExtensions never applied and a .web.tsx under app/ was dead code the
census still accepted. The manifest now carries a key and a module: the key
stays the native filename so the URL does not move, and the module is the web
sibling when one exists.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): tie each named shim to the esbuild option that implements it

The shim list was asserted against a literal copy of itself, which passes
however the build is configured. Each entry now carries an appliesTo that
reads its own option, checked against the real options object.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* chore(build): line up the CRLF exemptions, the budget comment, and the job scope

The builder loads .gif as a file but neither .gitattributes nor the CRLF scan
exempted it, so the blanket eol=lf pin would have rewritten one. A test now
keeps the two lists in step. The Phase C byte budget's comment sat on the
asset count, and a root package.json edit could change build:mobile-web:app
without running the job that proves it.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* ci: key the installer caches on the mobile page trees too

beforePack builds the mobile web bundle into the installer. Today those bytes
are Phase A's, which src/** already covers, but once C1 flips the entry to
mobile/app a page-only change would hit a cache holding a stale installer.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): skip the bundling tests where mobile dependencies are absent

The sharded `test` job collects config/scripts/**/*.test.mjs and installs no
mobile dependencies, so the two new suites failed there on "Could not resolve
react-native-web". They now skip themselves with a message naming the job that
runs them, and that job sets ORCA_MOBILE_WEB_APP_DEPS_REQUIRED so a missing
install fails it instead of skipping everything it exists to prove.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* fix(build): scan mobile/packages in the .web.* census

The census claimed the app entry never resolves into packages/, but the
dictation hook imports @orca/expo-two-way-audio and the built script carries
ExpoTwoWayAudioModule.web.ts. That file is now listed with its reason, and
planting a .web.* in each scanned tree proves the scan is not passing because
a tree happens to be empty.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): assert the route exclusions against a tree that has them

mobile/app holds no test, spec or +api file, so the exclusion rule was
asserted against a tree it could not fire on. A scratch tree plants one of
each; dropping the rule now fails this test.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): 404 unknown file paths in the render check's page server

The server answered every path with the document, so pointing publicPath at
/wrong-prefix still rendered three green routes: the script is fetched from
the one prefix that is served. A path naming a file now has to come out of the
bundle, which is what the shell's manifest map does.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): cover the app bundle verifier's own checks

The verifier had no test. One doctors the buildId, which the packaged assert
catches; the other rewrites the tree so every digest still agrees and only the
two fresh builds can tell, which is what a stale out/ looks like. Deleting
either check now fails a test.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* chore(build): tidy the app bundle comments and the job's path prefixes

Drops an export nothing read, merges two comments that had drifted apart from
the constant they describe, and corrects the claim that the job runs on every
PR when it is path-gated. package.json leaves the prefix list because
GLOBAL_FORCE_FILES already forces every job on it; mobile/packages/ joins it,
since the page resolves a .web.ts out of there.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* style(build): merge the duplicate node:fs/promises import in the census

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* fix(mobile): redirect the hybrid shell route on the web page

app/h/[hostId]/web.tsx reaches OrcaMobileWebShellView, whose module calls
requireNativeViewManager at import. In a browser that throws before React
mounts, and the route manifest imports every route statically, so one native
route left the whole page blank at every URL.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): fail the render check with the error that stopped the mount

The check waited on "#root has children" with Playwright's animation-frame
polling, so a route module that threw at import read as a bare 30s timeout
naming nothing. It now waits on a mount attribute the entry sets after the
router commits, polls on a timer, and races the wait against the first
uncaught error so the failure carries it.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): answer the favicon the render browser asks for

CI resolves the runner's Google Chrome, which requests /favicon.ico; the
bundled headless shell does not. The bundle carries no icon, so the server
answers 204 rather than turning a browser habit into a console error the
render assertions read as a page fault.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* test(build): settle the render check's uncaught-error race without rejecting

The entry throws during goto, before anything awaits the race, so a rejected
promise surfaced as an unhandled rejection beside the real failure. The same
signal now resolves with the error.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb

* chore(mobile): list the page transport in the raw request port inventory

The placeholder client implements the port, so the boundary test counts it as

replaces it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The rest is round-three review:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also from review of the settled state:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Message repairs from the same review:

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

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 97aa5ff19b fix(mobile): open native chat when a new worktree launches a default agent (#19850)
* refactor(agent-launch): make the launch-mode decision surface-neutral

`decideWorkerStartMode` was the only shared answer to "structured chat session
or terminal agent?", but it lived in an orchestration-named module and spoke
orchestration's vocabulary, so the other launch surfaces could not call it.
Move the decision to `main/agent-launch/agent-launch-mode` unchanged and leave
`orchestration-worker-start-mode` as the adapter that supplies the noun.

A worker is not a special kind of launch; it is the same launch with a dispatch
attached. Naming the receipt's subject is the only thing orchestration actually
contributed, so that is the only thing the adapter keeps: "worker" in both
sentences, plus the `--terminal` wording, which reads as nonsense anywhere a
`--terminal` flag does not exist. Both are pinned, because they are asserted.

No behavior change. The receipts are byte-identical for every reachable case,
proven by running the new pin against both implementations.

Also pins the wording, which nothing was holding. The existing suites assert
`toContain` fragments ('terminal agent', 'cannot create') and the CLI suite
asserts a receipt handed to it by a mock rather than one this code produced;
all six files stayed green against a deliberately corrupted vocabulary. A
dispatch receipt is the only place a structured-to-terminal downgrade explains
itself, so the whole sentence is the contract, not a fragment of it.

* feat(agent-launch): add the launch intent and the one executor that runs it

The sequencing around the launch decision was duplicated per surface, and the
duplicate is where the bug lives. A new worktree was created agent-first, so
its startup terminal WAS the agent and the structured branch below it could
never be reached — every new-worktree launch was a PTY regardless of the user's
default. Orchestration fixed that for itself in #19431; mobile and the CLI
still have it.

`executeAgentLaunch` inverts the order once, for everyone. When the preference
is structured the worktree is created with NO startup agent, the executing host
is then asked whether it can host a session for the workspace that now exists,
and only then is a surface created. The host verdict cannot be hoisted above
creation: `agentSession.createSupport` only answers for a workspace it can
resolve, which is why the decision stays in two halves.

Agent-first creation is deliberately preserved for PTY launches — it is what
sequences the agent's startup command behind the setup runner, so wait-for-setup
comes for free there.

What actually differs per surface is only how a surface is built (an
orchestration worker's session takes a dispatch hold and a mailbox a plain
launch must not take), so that is injected as a factory rather than branched on.

The intent also strips the reserved agent fields from a migrated create payload:
a caller moving off `worktree.create` passes its existing params, and a stale
`startupAgent` in there would re-create the very path this replaces.

Tests assert order and arguments, not just the resulting mode. Reintroducing
agent-first creation reddens 4 of 11.

* feat(agent-launch): expose the launch executor as the agent.launch RPC

Adds `agent.launch` — one host-side method that decides structured-vs-terminal and
creates the surface — wired to the real runtime factories: `createManagedWorktree`
for the workspace, forking on `startupAgent` exactly as the orchestration worker
path does; `createStructuredAgentSessionForWorktree` for a chat session; and
`createTerminal` for a PTY agent. Allowlisted for mobile, which is the surface the
routing gap was reported on.

`worktree.create` is untouched. Its `startupAgent` keeps meaning "spawn a PTY agent"
verbatim, because it answers with `agentTerminalHandle` only on that path: a host
that quietly routed it to a structured session would hand every older client a
response with no handle and no error. All new behaviour sits behind
`agent.launch.v1`, which the host now advertises and a remote client must negotiate,
so a client that does not gets today's behaviour unchanged.

* feat(mobile): route workspace creates through agent.launch

Picking an agent on the mobile create sheet always produced a terminal, even
when the user's default was native chat, because all three create paths put
`startupAgent` on `worktree.create`. That means "create the worktree
agent-first", so its startup terminal IS the agent and the structured branch
below it is unreachable — while the same phone's in-workspace "+" button opened
a chat.

The blank, branch and new-branch creates now send the same payload through
`agent.launch` and let the host settle the surface. `worktree.create` is
untouched, and a host that does not advertise `agent.launch.v1` (read from the
existing `status.get` probe) keeps today's path exactly.

Work-item creates stay on `worktree.create`: they pre-fill the issue/PR URL as
an unsent `startupDraft`, which a structured session cannot hold yet, so routing
them would submit the URL as a first turn.

* fix(agent-launch): drop the deleted draft-prompt blocker from the reason map

main removed the draft-prompt blocker in #19681 (a structured session now holds
an unsent draft), so the exhaustive Record no longer typechecks.

* chore(agent-launch): carry a SAFETY rationale on the agent placement cast

The type-assertion gate landed after this branch's base, so the new file's
copy of the worker-start cast is now a changed-code finding.

* chore(agent-launch): carry agent.launch through main's RPC typing and casting gates

The typed-method contract, the generated params catalog and the
`assertionStyle: never` casting scan all landed after this branch's base.

- AGENT_LAUNCH_METHODS kept an `RpcMethod[]` annotation, which widened its
  method name to `string` and broke assignability; every sibling infers instead.
- `agent.launch` binds a schema under src/main, so it joins the catalog's
  RPC_METHODS_WITHOUT_SHARED_PARAMS and the parity gate's hand-listed twin.
- The now-typed methods make most test casts unnecessary; the few that remain
  carry the line-specific SAFETY rationale the casting gate requires.

* test(mobile): supply the agent-launch fixture the create-submit recording needs

The golden RPC recordings landed upstream while this branch was out, so they
first met agent.launch here. Three things had to happen, and only one of them is
a fixture bump.

1. workspace-settings-mounts.ts mounts useNewWorkspaceCreateSubmit against a
   fixture model that throws on any member it was not given. This PR added a
   required getAgentLaunchSupport, so the submit aborted with "Missing model
   fixture" before it ever issued the create, and three cleanup checkpoints
   vanished. That read like a product regression and was not one. Supplying the
   member restores the recording byte-for-byte; it is pinned false for the same
   reason the cutover probe is, so the baseline stays on worktree.create.

2. Editing that adapter moves adapterSha256 for the twelve settings goldens it
   mounts. Their recordings are unchanged - header only, by design: the digest
   is per-golden so editing a module fails exactly the goldens that mounted it.

3. Five goldens changed behaviourally, and both changes are this PR's:
   the capability probe now reports agentLaunch, and a create whose reply
   carries no worktree returns "Failed to create workspace" instead of throwing
   a TypeError off an unguarded result.worktree read. The launch route needs
   that guard, since a receipt can arrive without a worktreeId.

* refactor(mobile): decode the launch receipt instead of asserting its shape

The changed-code quality gate refuses type assertions, and the eight it flagged
were worth removing rather than suppressing.

The production one was the point. readAgentLaunchCreateOutcome asserted the RPC
payload into Partial<AgentLaunchResult> and then runtime-checked it anyway, so
the assertion bought nothing and claimed a contract the host had not proven. It
now narrows with `in` and validates each hop, which is the same nullability
question readCreateResult already answers on the sibling path - a launch receipt
can legitimately arrive without a worktreeId. AgentLaunchCreateOutcome ties
worktreeId to the shared contract so a change there fails this reader's
typecheck rather than passing a differently-typed field through.

The test fakes claimed a whole RpcClient via `as unknown as RpcClient` while
implementing one member. They now build a typed literal, matching the pattern in
use-mobile-structured-agent-options.test.ts. The read sites cast params and then
read one field; they now assert the payload with toMatchObject, which removes
the cast and pins more of the shape than the cast did.

Also pins the warning passthrough, which nothing covered: a terminal launch that
seats the workspace but cannot start the pty reports why, and the absent, blank,
non-string and structured-surface cases report nothing. Writing that test caught
a real drop I had introduced in the reader.

* ci(mobile): re-run Mobile Checks when a shared capability changes

Mobile Checks is path-filtered to mobile/**, but mobile imports the negotiated
capability names straight from src/shared/protocol-version.ts and records the
whole capability read verbatim in its goldens. So a capability added desktop-side
rewrites a mobile fixture while never triggering the suite that would catch it.

That is what happened here: #19849 introduced agent.launch.v1 and Mobile Checks
never ran on it. Verified at the run level rather than by check name - the
window-free check-runs API on 3837ae8d51 returns 49 check-runs across six runs
(PR Checks x2, PR test LoC x2, Track Community PRs, Review) and no Mobile Checks
among them. The breakage surfaced only in this PR, which happens to touch mobile/**.

The workflow already concedes this pattern for terminal-file-link-conformance.ts;
protocol-version.ts has the stronger claim, since mobile records its output.

Also corrects the mount adapter's SAFETY comment. It claimed the recorder supplies
only the members the hook reads, which was false the moment the hook gained a
required getAgentLaunchSupport - and the assertion it annotates is exactly what
stopped the compiler from saying so. The twelve goldens are adapterSha256 churn
from that comment: every body is byte-identical, which is the digest doing its job.

* docs(agent-launch): stop the receipt-wording comment claiming a migration

The decision was never moved out of orchestration-worker-start-mode; this PR
adds a second copy beside it. Say so, and name the unenforced agreement.

* docs(agent-launch): stop the executor comment claiming a migration that has not happened

The header asserted two things the tree does not support: that every launch
surface routes through the executor, and that the mode decision "already lived"
in `agent-launch-mode`. `agent.launch` is the executor's only consumer, and
`orchestration-worker-start-mode.ts` is byte-identical (blob 92dc5c644a, 217
lines) at the merge base and all three stack heads, still used by workers.ts.
Describe the two live copies and leave the cutover to later stack work.

* fix(agent-launch): preserve setup and refusal fallbacks

* refactor(mobile): parse the launch outcome into a named type at its boundary

anti-slop/no-object-parameters flagged terminalLaunchWarning's `result: object`.
The rule is pointing at a real seam rather than a style nit: the helper advertised
a loose object and did the narrowing inside itself, so every caller handed it
unparsed wire data and nothing downstream held a real type.

Parsed at the boundary instead. parseTerminalLaunchOutcome takes `unknown` and
returns TerminalLaunchOutcome | null, so the narrowing happens once, where the
untrusted payload enters, and the consumer works with a named type.

The type is taken from the shared contract rather than restated - a Pick over the
terminal member of AgentLaunchOutcome - so a change to that union fails here
instead of flowing through. `handle` is deliberately excluded: nothing reads it,
and requiring it would drop the warning off a reply that omitted one, which is a
behaviour change smuggled in under a typing change.

No assertion and no config exemption: reintroducing `as Partial<AgentLaunchResult>`
would trade this finding for the defect removed earlier in this branch, and the
rule is correct here.

The rule arrived with the merge-forward (#20781, newer than this branch's
merge-base), and anti-slop is not one of the changed-code gate's six scans - it
runs only repo-wide - which is why a clean local gate did not predict it.

Behaviour is unchanged across all five warning cases, and the positive case was
re-ablated on the new parser: dropping the warning reddens exactly it,
1 failed | 18 passed, restored byte-identical to 19 passed.

* fix(agent-launch): dedupe complete launch and cancel setup wait

* fix(agent-launch): memoize the whole launch so a replay cannot mint a second session

A replayed agent.launch could create a second structured session in the same
worktree, with activate: true.

dedupeWorktreeCreate wrapped only the worktree half, inside the workspace
factory. On a replay the create was reused, and the executor then continued to
createSurface and built another surface inside it. The terminal route hid this:
its cached create carries a startup terminal handle, so the executor returns on
early. A structured create has no handle by construction - that is the whole
point of the structured fork - so it fell through every time. Mobile replays
this method deliberately on a delivery-ambiguous response, up to five attempts,
so the path is reachable by design rather than in theory.

The handler now wraps the entire launch in the same dedupe, on the same
(repo, clientMutationId) identity, exactly as worktree.create wraps its own
body. A replay returns the original AgentLaunchResult instead of re-running
createSurface, which makes the two routes replay-identical.

The inner dedupe is removed rather than kept. Wrapping both levels on one key
deadlocks: dedupeWorktreeCreate stores the in-flight promise before the inner
call runs, so the inner call would be handed the outer's promise, which is
waiting on it. The launch-level memo subsumes the worktree-level one.

Failures are still dropped rather than cached, so an unknown outcome stays
unknown instead of replaying as a fabricated success.

The guard replays a STRUCTURED launch: the terminal route cannot reproduce this
and a test there would pass either way. Ablated against the pre-fix files -
1 failed | 22 passed, "expected vi.fn() to be called 1 times, but got 2 times",
which is the duplicate session - then restored to 23 passed. The stub's dedupe
had to be made faithful for that to be observable; the shared one passes through
so other tests can see raw calls.

* Revert "fix(agent-launch): memoize the whole launch so a replay cannot mint a second session"

This reverts commit 59bc5e9b04.

The same defect was already fixed upstream on this stack's base branch by
539e283c0f, which landed while this was being written. That change is broader
(it also cancels the setup wait) and namespaces the dedupe key, so it supersedes
this one. Reverting rather than hand-merging keeps a single implementation
instead of a hybrid nobody chose.

The behavioural guard from this commit is ported back on top of the upstream
implementation separately: it asserts exactly one structured session survives a
replay, where the upstream tests assert the dedupe wiring.

* ci(mobile): close the round-1 signal gaps around agent.launch

Three review findings, all narrow.

Mobile Checks is path-filtered, and this branch made mobile's types depend on the
shared RPC contract: rpc-params-contract.ts is a type-only re-export of the
generated params catalog, and mobile/tsconfig.json includes **/*.ts. So a
desktop-only edit under src/shared/rpc-contract/ could break mobile's typecheck
with no mobile signal at all - the same blind spot the protocol-version.ts entry
closed, one directory over. Added src/shared/rpc-contract/** to the paths filter.

agent.launch had no cross-version trigger. Added the three prefixes a paired peer
actually exchanges: the intent contract, the wire schema, and the RPC method.
src/main/agent-launch/ is deliberately NOT listed - the executor shapes behaviour
but is not itself wire, and AgentLaunchResult's shape is already covered by
agent-launch-intent. Extending the cross-version SUITE to cover a negotiated
handshake is separate work, not this.

The break branch that answers an accepted-but-empty reply with "Failed to create
workspace" had no unit coverage; the golden that used to discriminate it
collapsed five partitions into one shared error when the null guard replaced the
unchecked read. Covered on BOTH routes - worktree.create with no worktree.id and
agent.launch with no worktreeId - since the branch serves both. Ablated by
bypassing the guard: 2 failed | 11 passed, the two new cases returning a
fabricated worktree instead of the error, restored to 13 passed.

* fix(agent-launch): give a launch one place to say the workspace is incomplete

createManagedWorktree reports an unspawned startup terminal or an uncopied
working tree as a top-level `warning`, and worktree.create hands it straight to
mobile. The launch path narrowed that result down to
{worktreeId, startupTerminalHandle} and dropped it, so every agent.launch create
lost a warning the old method surfaces - on both arms.

The channel was also asymmetric by accident rather than design: a terminal
outcome could carry `warning`, a structured one had nowhere to put it, so the
arm this PR exists to enable was the arm that could not report an incomplete
create at all.

Now there is exactly one place a launch warning lives: AgentLaunchResult.warning,
at the top level. It is about the create as often as the surface, it applies to a
structured session and a terminal alike, and a reader should not branch on
outcome.kind to discover the workspace it just opened is missing something. The
terminal arm's own `warning?` is removed rather than left beside it - two homes
for one fact is how they drift. Every producer folds in: the create, the surface,
and the refusal downgrade.

Consumer census before removing it: one production reader (mobile's
readAgentLaunchCreateOutcome) and no others - the renderer and mobile launch
call sites never read it. The mobile reader now reads the top-level field, which
also lets its outcome parser go away entirely.

Guard ablated by restoring the pre-fix narrowing: 2 failed | 24 passed, both
carriers reporting `expected undefined`, which is the dropped warning itself;
restored to 26 passed. The third case asserts an absence and stays green under
the mutation by construction - it pins shape, not the defect.

* fix(agent-launch): combine both launch warnings instead of dropping one

Round 2 found the comment here was false. A create warning and a surface warning
CAN both be set, on two reachable paths:

  1. The create warns precisely BECAUSE it produced no startup terminal -
     didSpawnStartup stays false when that spawn throws, and
     orca-runtime-create-managed-worktree.ts:283 gates startupTerminal on it - so
     the executor's early return is skipped and a second surface is built, which
     can warn too.
  2. An untracked-copy warning, then a definitive structured refusal downgrading
     to a terminal that also warns.

`??` kept the first and lost the second with nothing saying so. They are now
combined the way the create combines its own failures - appendFailure in
runtime-local-worktree-terminal-startup.ts, and the startup-terminal catch in
runtime-remote-managed-worktree-create.ts - which append rather than replace.

The comment is rewritten to say what is true, and records the gap NOT fixed
here: a create warning about a failed startup terminal is stale once the launch
recovers by building a working one, so a user can be told the agent did not start
while looking at it. Distinguishing those needs createManagedWorktree to stop
multiplexing two unrelated failures into one string.

Guarded and ablated: restoring `??` reddens exactly the new test, with the
surface clause missing from the received string; restored to 27 passed. The
structured-create stub had to admit its real ok-or-refusal union for the
downgrade path to be modellable at all - it previously declared only the ok arm.

Also: mobile.yml gains src/shared/agent-launch-intent.ts. It is the sole holder
of the agent.launch RESULT shape - the rpc-contract catalog holds params only -
and mobile imports it as a value. CROSS_VERSION_WIRE_PREFIXES already treats it
as wire-critical; without this, one gate does and the other cannot see it.

And the agent-first warning test no longer pairs "startup terminal failed" with a
returned handle, a combination the producer cannot emit.

* fix(mobile): read a launch warning an older host nests on the outcome

agent.launch moved `warning` from the terminal outcome to the top level of the
result. That is the right shape - a reader should not branch on `outcome.kind`
to learn the workspace it just opened is incomplete - but on the wire it is a
REMOVAL, and mobile only read the new place.

A host built before the move still advertises the same `agent.launch.v1`
capability, so the capability probe cannot tell the two apart and mobile takes
this route against one:

  protocol-version.ts:360       AGENT_LAUNCH_RUNTIME_CAPABILITY is in
                                RUNTIME_CAPABILITIES, the host list
  orca-runtime-get-status.ts:64 publishes it via status.get; the filter drops
                                only browser.screencast.v1 and three E2E-gated
                                capabilities, never agent.launch
  agent-launch-executor.ts      such a host writes warning INSIDE outcome

The result was a regression rather than a contract cleanup: the worktree.create
path this replaces returned the warning at the top level and mobile read it, so
a create that seated the workspace but could not start the agent surface - pty
exhaustion, untracked files not copied - stopped explaining itself on the phone.

Read both shapes for as long as such a host can be paired. Top level wins, and
cannot be shadowed: AgentLaunchOutcome has no `warning` on either arm, so a
current host cannot nest one.

The test that pinned the old behaviour is inverted here. Its comment was the
actual defect - it framed a legitimate warning from an older peer as a stale
shape to defend against, which is what made dropping it look deliberate.

* chore(mobile): raise the unchecked-reader ceiling for the agent.launch receipt

main landed `unchecked-rpc-reader-inventory.ts`, a ratchet on RpcOperation
readers that re-type their reply instead of validating it. Its ceiling for
mobile-workspace-create-operations.ts is 4, counted on a tree without this
branch's `agentLaunchRun`, so the merge produced "listed 4, found 5".

The inventory's own header prescribes this case: a merge is the one time a line
goes up without a migration undoing itself, and the instruction is to raise it
and name the PR that brought it. It describes main landing an operation the
branch never saw; here it is the mirror - the branch holds one main had not
seen - so the line is annotated with #19850 rather than left bare.

Not converted to `rpcResultVariant(variant, schema)`, which would lower the line
instead. That is a validation change rather than a migration, which is exactly
what the file's own comment says these five readers deliberately are not; the
agent.launch reply is already guarded at the consumer, where
readAgentLaunchCreateOutcome returns null on a malformed payload and the create
surfaces "Failed to create workspace". Writing a schema now would also target a
reply shape #20999 is actively redefining.

Ablated: with the line back at 4 the ratchet fails "listed 4, found 5"; at 5 it
passes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Neil cbc7bb418c fix(ci): read the changed-path list past the first pipe buffer (#19409)
`pr-code-change-scope.mjs` read stdin with `readFileSync(0, 'utf8')`, a single
read of fd 0. Once the writer outgrows the 64 KB pipe buffer that read returns
early or throws EAGAIN, the script exits 0 having emitted no `name=value` pairs,
and `tee -a "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"` records nothing -- so every lane the classifier
gates is silently skipped rather than failing loudly.

A PR opened long ago carries a stale `pull_request.base.sha`, so the gate's
merge-base diff spans the whole base branch. PR #13178 diffed 13,294 files
(773 KB) against a base 1,592 commits behind main and lost typecheck, test,
static analysis, xterm patch sync, package and e2e to this.

The per-PTY job probed only msys-2.0.dll, and only for bash.exe/sh.exe.
Cygwin ships the same spawn.cc breakaway logic under cygwin1.dll, and an
MSYS2 zsh escapes exactly like its bash does, so both kept the orphan bug.

Probe the runtime DLL on the shell's own search path instead of matching
shell names: that is the property that decides whether the runtime will
ask for CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB, and it drops the name special-casing.

The earlier hand-edit dropped it while every sibling section kept one.
Recomputed against the real blobs: applying this patch to 7b286d3d

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 1478101342 fix(windows): unblock structured native chat by exposing process creation time (#18986)
* fix(windows): guard process creation times

* fix(windows): ask the relay's bare addon for creation times too

The relay addon build now emits creationTimeMs, but the runtime binding
for the bare addon still declared only CommandLine, so a Windows relay
host requested flag 2 and every row came back without a creation time.
That leaves captureWindowsDescendantSnapshot returning null and
verifyWindowsProcessIdentity false forever on those hosts -- the relay
half of the patch was unreachable.

Naming CreationTime in the adapter is safe because the bare addon is a
content-hashed relay artifact: it ships in the same immutable relay
directory as the bundle reading it, so it can never be older than the
code asking for the bit.

Also bound the win32 guard test on our own row, which the addon can
never fail to answer, so an unconverted FILETIME or a 1601-epoch stamp
fails instead of satisfying a bare count.

* fix(windows): make the compiled addon prove its own CreationTime support

CI caught the real defect: the win32 guard test read
isWindowsProcessStartTimeAvailable() as true and then found 0 rows
carrying creationTimeMs. Unlike node-pty, this package publishes a
prebuilt .node at the same build/Release path node-gyp writes to, so
pnpm patches the source tree and leaves that binary alone. A host then
holds a patched lib/index.js -- ProcessDataFlag.CreationTime and all --
over a binary that ignores flag 4, and neither a load check nor a path
check can see the difference.

So the binary now says so itself: addon.cc exports
supportedProcessDataFlags, lib/index.js re-exports it, and

  - windows-process-tree-creation-time.cjs asserts it during install,
    which is what forces a from-source rebuild. It is shared by the Node
    probe in ensure-native-runtime.mjs and the Electron probe in
    rebuild-native-deps.mjs, exactly as node-pty-job-ownership.cjs is --
    the Electron half matters because that probe decides onlyModules, so
    without it the packaged app would ship the stale prebuilt.
  - isWindowsProcessStartTimeAvailable() gates on the reported bit, not
    the enum. Believing the enum is worse than reporting false: the
    descendant snapshot returns null forever and the exit proof latches
    unverifiable while structured chat believes it has a reaper.

rebuildNodeRuntimeModules could not actually have rebuilt this package:
the patched binding.gyp includes deps/node-addon-api, which the tarball
does not ship, and node-gyp must run from the physical dir.

Also closes the relay repair path's divergence: repairCreationTimeSources
wrote the C++ but not the buildNode splat or the tree-node typing, and
assertPatchApplied checked neither, so a repaired tree passed as patched
with buildProcessTree silently dropping the field.

The guard test is unchanged.

* fix(windows): keep the process-tree patch LF-only

windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs requires the patch file to
carry no CR bytes. Regenerating through pnpm patch-commit emitted 199 of
them, because the creation-time change is the first to touch files the
package ships as CRLF (src/process.h, src/process_worker.cc,
src/addon.cc, lib/index.js, lib/index.ts, the typings) -- and #17886's
own hunks over binding.gyp and src/process_commandline.cc carry the rest.

Stripping them is safe and changes nothing the lockfile records: pnpm
hashes patches CRLF-normalized, so the digest stays
e66202cc623996d02040c93449eb9ae353fddadf426cb53202a59ee710ee6fe7 and now
equals the file's plain sha256 too. It also still applies -- verified
against a deleted store entry, not a warm one -- and the precedent was
already there: the previous patch was LF-only and had been patching
those same CRLF files all along.

ensure-native-runtime.test.mjs stages the siblings the script loads at
module scope into its temp project. The import walk added by #17886 sees
`from './x.mjs'` only, so the createRequire'd .cjs siblings still have to
be named, and this PR adds a second one.

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

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

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

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

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

Two blocking findings from review.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

0cbb01ef4b fix(security): apply the Windows path-hardening ACL that never ran (#17884)
* fix(security): apply the Windows path-hardening ACL that never ran

`buildWindowsRestrictAclArgs` invoked the hardening script as
`powershell.exe -Command <script> <path> <sid> <isDir>`. `-Command` does
not populate `$args`; it appends the trailing tokens to the command text.
The script therefore read `$args[1]` as `$null`, threw `NullArrayIndex` at
`$allowedSids[$sidText] = $true` under `$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'`,
and exited 1. Both callers swallowed that: the async callback was empty and
`applySecurePathRestriction` returned `true` regardless, while the sync
`catch` returned `false` and nobody logged. Every Windows secure path has
been left on its inherited ACL since the ACL was introduced (#5006), and
nothing said so.

Replace PowerShell with `icacls.exe`, which takes plain argv. That removes
the quoting surface entirely rather than escaping it: interpolating a path
into the command text would have turned a dead no-op into arbitrary
PowerShell on a filesystem path, since `-Command` executes what it appends.
It also drops the execution-policy dependency and the `powershell.exe`
spawn an EDR flags, and runs ~25x faster than the PowerShell cold start.

Hardening is now three passes: `/reset` to purge explicit ACEs that
`/inheritance:r` leaves behind, `/inheritance:r` plus a `/grant:r` per
allowed SID, then a read-back that checks the DACL is protected and grants
only the intended rights. The predecessor's verification block was equally
dead, and an apply that is never read back is only half a control.

Failures stay non-fatal — non-NTFS volumes, network paths and restricted
tokens fail legitimately and must not break startup — but they are no
longer invisible: every failure is logged, and a failed async apply now
evicts its cache entry so the next call retries instead of trusting a
success that never happened.

Routing through `runProcess`/`runProcessSync` also retires this file's
`node:child_process` allowlist entry.

* fix(security): verify the hardened ACL by identity, not by shape

Review found the bug class this PR fixes surviving inside the fix. The
verify pass checked rule count, absence of the inherited marker, and exact
rights — never *who* the rules named. Granting Everyone full control
satisfies all three, so hardening reported success on a DACL that handed
the credential to every local account, and most of the real-filesystem
tests still passed.

Verification now reads the descriptor back with `icacls /save`, which emits
SDDL with raw SIDs, and compares the principal set exactly. That is also
locale-independent by construction: the previous parse read localized
account names out of icacls' OEM-codepage stdout, where a non-ASCII path
survived by accident rather than by the documented mechanism. SDDL parsing
moves to `windows-security-descriptor.ts`.

Two further self-inflicted problems, both measured:

The post-rename re-harden led with `/reset`, which re-widened a DACL that
was already correct — the staged file's protected DACL survives the rename,
so the pass had nothing to do but open a window. Polling an external
process during a write into a relocated root caught it: the e2ee keypair
dropped to `BUILTIN\Users:(RX)` plus `Authenticated Users:(M)` — read *and*
write — before tightening again. Hardening now verifies first and returns
early when the DACL already reads back correct, which closes the window and
cuts the steady state from three spawns to one. Re-measured: 158 samples,
one DACL state, zero broad.

Evicting the cache on every failed async apply reintroduced #4901. The env
store re-hardens on the read path at ~2/s, so on a host where hardening
cannot work (FAT32, network path, restricted token) that was two icacls
spawns and two warnings a second, forever. Async retries now take a retry
floor and a hard per-path attempt cap. The write path keeps retrying
unthrottled — it is user-driven, and a failed credential ACL must still be
retried on the next write.

Also: failures route through a reporter hook that the main process points
at the diagnostic tracer, because `console.warn` reaches nothing in a
packaged GUI-subsystem build; `writeSecureFile` returns whether hardening
took, and the async branch reports `pending` rather than claiming `applied`;
a transient `whoami` failure no longer disables hardening for the process
lifetime, and the SID is shape-validated; the `/c` guard now covers the
synchronous runner too.

* fix(security): re-probe hardening instead of latching a transient failure

The per-process attempt cap added for the read-path storm was a permanent
latch: one AV scan, momentary lock or %TEMP% blip and every later credential
write in that session went unhardened, silently, on a host where hardening
would now succeed. Same defect class as #17858's computer-use host, and
worse here because what stops happening is security hardening on credential
files and nothing said so.

The retry budget now bounds the *rate*, not the lifetime: at most three
attempts per path per minute, re-probing in every later window, forever. The
transition is announced in both directions — `throttled` once per window on
entry, `recovered` when a rate-limited path hardens again — so a host stuck
in the degraded state is diagnosable rather than merely quiet. The reporter
type covers both, and the main process ends the `recovered` span
successfully rather than failing it.

Extracted to secure-path-hardening-retry-budget.ts, which keeps
secure-file.ts under its line cap without a max-lines disable.

Also confirms the second flagged risk rather than assuming it: a real
unwritable %TEMP% is now covered by a test proving verification fails
closed, reports at the `verify` stage, and still leaves the ACL applied —
so that path loses proof, not protection, and with the lifetime cap gone it
can no longer combine into a permanent-off state.

* fix(security): verify a directory's whole inheritance flag set

The flag check tested only that `OI` was present — never that `CI` was, nor
that nothing else was. That was harmless while `/reset` + `/grant` ran on
every pass and repaired whatever was there. The verify-first short-circuit
made it load-bearing: what verification accepts is now left alone, so a
latent under-check went live because a different fix started depending on
it.

Two directory DACLs passed while being wrong — both protected, three
non-inherited full-control rules, correct SIDs, differing from correct only
in their flags:

  (OI)(F)        - no CI, so subdirectories are left unprotected
  (OI)(CI)(IO)   - inherit-only, so the directory object itself grants
                   nobody anything; the next writeFileSync into it fails
                   with EPERM, on a directory just cached as hardened

Verification now compares the whole flag set, which also rejects IO and NP,
and names the offending flags in the failure. Both shapes are planted in
real-filesystem regression tests, including an assertion that a write into
the repaired directory succeeds and its child inherits. Confirmed both tests
fail against the old check and pass against this one.

* fix(security): back the hardening retry off exponentially

The fixed one-minute window bounded the retry rate but left a standing floor
of three attempts per path per minute on a host where hardening can never
succeed — FAT32/exFAT, a network path, a redirected profile. That budget is
per path and there are several secure files, so the floor multiplied into
tens of thousands of icacls spawns a day for work guaranteed to fail.

The delay now doubles after each consecutive failure, from a one-minute
floor to a thirty-minute ceiling, and the attempt cap is gone entirely: once
the backoff elapses the path is re-probed however long it has been failing.
A permanently incapable host settles at ~2 attempts/hour.

Slowing the backstop costs almost nothing, because it is not the recovery
mechanism: the synchronous write path is deliberately unthrottled, so a host
that recovers hardens on its very next credential write regardless of what
the read-path budget says.

The `throttled`/`recovered` reports are unchanged and matter more here,
since the quiet periods between probes are now much longer.

The curve is pinned in a new unit test against the exported delay function
rather than a copy of its constants, covering the doubling, the ceiling
holding at 5000 consecutive failures, a 30-day failing path still
re-probing, one announcement per degraded episode, and per-path isolation.
The integration tests keep only what they uniquely prove: that the read path
is wired to the budget, and that a day of failures still re-probes.
Confirmed four of these fail against a reinstated lifetime cap.

* ci(windows): run the real-icacls DACL suite in CI

The win32 suite only self-skips off Windows, so it passed vacuously in
every lane. Register it the way the cmd-shim suite is registered.

* fix(security): describe the cache's real cost, which is icacls now

Both cache comments still justified themselves with PowerShell -- "~1-1.5s" and
"a PowerShell spawn every read" -- in the same file whose PR removed PowerShell
from this path. The caches are still right, but for different numbers, and the
old ones are the kind an engineer would reasonably delete a cache over.

The real shape: hardening verifies first and returns early, so an already-correct
DACL costs one synchronous icacls spawn and a rewrite costs four (verify, reset,
grant, verify). Still worth caching on the read path, which polls at ~2/s.

* test(security): make the DACL suite safe to schedule

Registering this spec in the Windows lane put it under two rules it had
never been measured against.

Teardown now goes through `removeTreeSync`, which the lane's boundary test
requires, and repairs the DACLs the suite plants on purpose first: those
retries only cover transient locks, so a regressed `(OI)(CI)(IO)` repair
leaves the root un-removable and `afterAll` throws EPERM.

And the no-permission case decides by elevation before it writes anything.
`windows-2022` runs elevated, where hardening succeeds: the old branch
asserted nothing about denial and instead replaced the `hosts` DACL, then
`icacls /reset` -- which is not a restore, it drops the explicit
`SYSTEM:(F)` that file ships with. Ephemeral in CI; permanent for a
developer running the lane from an elevated shell. Now it asserts or it
skips. The probe reads the token integrity SID rather than `icacls /save`,
which succeeds unelevated (`BUILTIN\Users:(RX)` carries READ_CONTROL) and
would have skipped the case on every machine.

* fix(security): measure the hardening latches on a clock that cannot go backwards

`mayAttemptHardening` compared wall-clock times, so any backwards step --
an NTP correction, a VM snapshot restore, a user changing the clock --
made the elapsed time negative and held every failing path below its delay
until the clock caught up. Measured at the 30-minute ceiling with the clock
stepped back a year, the path was refused at +0d, +1d, +30d, +180d and
+364d, and re-probed only at +366d. That is the permanent latch the
exponential backoff was added to remove, and it contradicts the module's
own "bounds the rate without ever bounding the lifetime".

The SID lookup's own one-minute window had the identical shape and is
worse: a failed lookup makes `planFor` return null, which disables the
synchronous *write* path too, so the write-path exemption that recovers
the read-path budget cannot recover it. Both now measure elapsed monotonic
time, following the repo's existing `monotonicNowMs` spelling.

Two things the write path was not doing, both found in the same pass:

- A successful synchronous apply now records the outcome. It is exempt
  from the budget, but it was also invisible to it, so a host that had
  demonstrably recovered kept the read path backing off for up to 30
  minutes and no `recovered` transition ever came from that lane. Only
  success is recorded; recording failure would put the exempt lane back
  under the budget.
- `writeSecureFile`'s JSDoc now says its boolean covers the file only. The
  directory harden is fire-and-forget and answers `pending` on Windows
  regardless, so a `true` says nothing about the directory's ACL.

* fix(security): stop the hardening test doubles from faking a no-op

Three CI failures on this branch, one failure shape: hardening silently
does nothing and the check that should have caught it agrees.

The auth critical-path test hand-rolled a `node:child_process` factory with
`execFileSync`/`execFile`. The rewritten ACL path goes through
`runProcessSync`, i.e. `spawnSync`, which the factory never returned — so
every spawn threw into the SID lookup's bare catch, `planFor` returned null,
and hardening no-opped. It mocks `child-process/run-process` now, the
boundary production code actually calls and the one sibling ACL tests
already mock: an export missing there fails loudly by name instead of
returning undefined. Its fake icacls writes a real UTF-16LE SDDL file, so
the pinned spawn count per write is a property of the ACL path rather than
of the double. The test forces `platform='win32'`, so this failed on every
platform, Linux CI included.

`windowsSystem32Binary` is a production bug, not a test bug: it builds a
Windows path with the host `join`, which off-platform yields the mixed
`C:\Windows/System32/whoami.exe`. On Windows the two joins agree, which is
why it survived; on Linux the SID lookup's whoami match missed and 27 of
secure-file's 32 tests exercised a lane that never ran. These are always
Windows paths, so `path.win32.join` is what it should have been.

The import-boundary pin still read 160 after this branch migrated
secure-path-windows-acl.ts off `node:child_process`; the ratchet correctly
refuses a pin left above reality.

* fix(security): resolve the machine-relative SDDL alias, and stop a denied read destroying the file

Path hardening verified the DACL it wrote by comparing the SIDs `icacls /save`
reports. SDDL substitutes two-letter aliases for well-known SIDs, and the
resolution table could only hold constants -- but `LA` and `LG` name an account
by RID inside the *machine's own* SID, so on a box whose user is the built-in
Administrator (a CI runner, an Administrator-only install) the current user read
back as `LA`, matched nothing, and hardening reported failure for every path.
Resolve those two against the machine authority derived from the user SID;
without one they stay unresolved and the comparison still fails closed.

Three secret stores treated any read failure as "malformed -- regenerate" and
overwrote. A hardened file granting a SID this process does not hold reads as
EPERM while its directory stays writable, so the overwrite succeeds: renaming
over an unreadable file needs FILE_DELETE_CHILD on the parent, not DELETE on the
file. That destroyed the E2EE secret key, every paired device's bearer token,
and the plugin vault. Distinguish EPERM/EACCES from a parse failure and refuse.

Also close the async lane's unhandled rejection: `void p.then(onSettled)` turned
a throw from `onSettled` into a dead main process, and the retry budget it calls
threw whenever nothing had configured it -- a contract held only by import
order. The budget now defaults its own bounds.

* test(windows): say which ACEs icacls listed when a planted DACL fails

`toHaveLength` reports only a count and vitest elides the array, so three
preconditions failing on the CI runner said "expected 3, got 6" and nothing
about what the sixth entry was. Name the entries in the failure.

* fix(security): stop three more stores overwriting what they were denied

Same swallow-default-overwrite shape as the readers already fixed, found by
sweeping every store that reads under a hardened root.

- plugin-storage-store.ts returned `{}` on any read failure and set()/delete()
  wrote it back, losing the plugin KV store. It is the secrets store's shape
  line for line, so the two now behave identically.
- relay-revoke-outbox.ts returned [] and save() wrote it, dropping revocations
  that never reached the relay -- a revoked device stays live.
- profile-cloud-session-store.ts mapped an EPERM read onto `decrypt-failed`,
  which fails the `status === 'found'` guard in clearCloudSessionIfUnchanged and
  falls through to an rmSync of the account session. A denied read now reports
  `unreadable`, which licenses nothing; the refresh path bails on it and the
  auth status surfaces it rather than reporting a bare reconnect.

All reuse isPermissionDeniedError. The predicate stays an EPERM/EACCES allow
list rather than "ENOENT defaults, everything else throws": these stores are
meant to self-heal a truncated or malformed file, and inverting it would turn a
corrupt keypair into an app that cannot start. The distinction that matters is
"could not read it" versus "read it and it was garbage".

* test(windows): plant fixture DACLs that cannot inherit what they did not plant

%TEMP% grants [SYSTEM, Administrators, <user>] (OI)(CI)(F) by default, and those
propagate into every fixture. Three preconditions read back 4 and 6 ACEs where 3
were planted, and the extras looked like Orca's own hardening because the shape
is identical -- on a runner whose user is the built-in Administrator, the
inherited trio IS the trio production grants.

Combining /inheritance:r with /grant:r leaves the argument order to icacls, and
that combined form drops the inherited ACEs on Windows 11 but keeps them as
explicit ones on the Windows Server runner. Removing inheritance in its own
invocation makes the grant the whole DACL on either host, and the fixture root
is de-inherited once up front so nothing propagates in.

Rooting the fixtures outside %TEMP% would not have fixed this: any directory
inherits from wherever it lives. The fix is to stop inheriting, not to move.

No assertion is relaxed -- the counts stay exact.

* test(windows): pick a foreign SID that stays foreign on an elevated runner

`S-1-5-32-544` is only foreign to a token that is not an administrator. The CI
runner is elevated AND logged in as the built-in Administrator, so granting
Administrators granted the reader full control: the file stayed readable, and
all six preservation assertions went vacuous rather than proving anything.

BUILTIN\Guests is resolvable everywhere and no interactive token is a member,
so the read is denied on an unelevated developer box and on the runner alike.
An unresolvable SID would have been the stronger choice but icacls rejects one
with ERROR_NONE_MAPPED (1332).

The premise guard is what caught this -- it asserted the file was actually
unreadable instead of trusting the grant, and named elevation as the suspect.

* fix(security): refuse on any read that never reached the contents, not just a denied one

isPermissionDeniedError becomes isUnreadableError, because "permission denied"
was never the concept -- "could not read it", as opposed to "read it and it was
garbage", is. EBUSY, EMFILE, ENFILE and EIO say exactly as little about a file's
contents as EACCES does, and they fell into the branch that regenerates and
overwrites. On Windows EBUSY is the likelier of the two: antivirus holding a
credential open at the moment of a startup read produces it, which makes it a
commoner path to the same permanent loss than the ACL case that motivated the
original fix.

Still an allow list, deliberately: ENOENT keeps licensing a create, and a parse
failure keeps self-healing. The stores are built to recover from a truncated
write, and turning that into a refusal would trade a recoverable state for an
unrecoverable one on the startup path.

Also fixes the regression suite's own premise on an elevated runner:
makeUnreadable combined /inheritance:r with /grant:r, and that form keeps
%TEMP%'s inherited [SYSTEM, Administrators, user] as explicit ACEs on Windows
Server -- so the file stayed readable and all six assertions were vacuous. Same
split-the-invocation fix as the ACL suite's planter.

* test(windows): skip the preservation suite where a read cannot be denied

An elevated token logged in as the built-in Administrator reads straight through
a DACL that grants it nothing -- confirmed on the CI runner against both
BUILTIN\Administrators and BUILTIN\Guests, and with the grant split into its own
icacls invocation so the DACL really was the planted one. On such a host the
premise these tests rest on does not hold, and every assertion would pass while
proving nothing.

So probe once at module scope and skip rather than assert vacuously -- the same
trade the ACL suite already makes for its unelevated-only case. The gate stays
in the compound `<win32 check> && <flag>` form the win32 lane ratchet detects, so
the file stays registered in both lane lists.

Coverage is not lost where it counts: isUnreadableError has unit tests that run
on every platform and every host, and the stores' refusal is exercised in full on
any machine where a denial is reproducible -- which is every developer box.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 975bbdedcc fix(windows): scan ports natively instead of encoded PowerShell (#17861)
* fix(windows): scan ports natively instead of encoded PowerShell

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint scored the relay's Windows port scan as
suspicious PowerShell plus network discovery (T1049). The command line was
`-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -EncodedCommand <base64>` around a
Get-NetTCPConnection/Get-Process join -- base64 next to a policy override is
the highest-weighted token pair on a PowerShell command line, and netstat only
ever ran as its fallback.

Invert the chain. `netstat.exe -ano` is now the primary reader and the owning
process name comes from the shared native process table, which exists to keep
PID lookups off PowerShell. The payload survives only as a last resort, and
without the override: execution policy gates script files, never `-Command`,
so nothing needed it (verified: `-ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Command` runs).

Drop `-p tcp` while inverting: on Windows that protocol name means IPv4 only,
so as a primary reader it would have hidden every `[::]` listener the payload
used to report. Names arrive as `sshd.exe` from the table and are published as
`sshd`, keeping the sshd filter and old clients' rendering intact.

Routes both spawns through runProcess, removing the file from the
child_process and windowsHide ratchets.

* fix(windows): read netstat state by shape and refuse a truncated table

Review of the port-scan inversion found two ways the new primary path could
be silently wrong, both of which would have kept the flagged PowerShell
payload running on exactly the hosts this change targets.

`LISTENING` is not in netstat.exe. It lives in System32\<locale>\netstat.exe.mui
and MUI selection follows the UI language, so the pinned-locale env in
relay-command-env.ts cannot reach it -- a German host prints `ABHOEREN` and the
word test parsed zero rows. The zero-listeners guard then read that as a
blocked reader and ran `Get-NetTCPConnection` every 12-30s forever, or returned
nothing at all where PowerShell is also restricted. Keep the word as the fast
path and, when it finds nothing over output that did contain TCP rows, re-read
by shape: only a listening socket has no peer. Measured on this host across all
four states present (LISTENING 47, ESTABLISHED 49, CLOSE_WAIT 29, TIME_WAIT
213): zero non-listening rows with a zero peer, zero listening rows without
one, and the same 47 rows parse after substituting the German state words.
Shape stays the fallback because `BOUND` also prints a zero peer.

Truncation was invisible: createOutputSink discards overflow, ProcessResult
carries no flag, so a capped read still exits 0 and its head still parses.
netstat orders IPv4 TCP, then IPv6 TCP, then UDP, so a host with tens of
thousands of TIME_WAIT rows would have lost every `[::]` listener -- the exact
loss dropping `-p tcp` exists to prevent, and one the zero-listeners guard
cannot see. Refuse the read instead. A `truncated` flag on the shared sink
would be cleaner and is left as a follow-up rather than widened into this PR.

Also: decline to wait on the shared process table once the request is aborted
(it takes no signal and must not be cancelled for other callers); note the
name lookup as best-effort, since a TTL-cached snapshot can hand a recycled
PID its previous owner name; log once on either fall-through, because both are
permanent and invisible when wrong; and drop a stderr assertion that any
PowerShell autoload banner would redden.

Correcting the cost claim in the previous commit: the aggregate win holds with
the native addon (netstat 21ms vs the retired payload 860ms at 532 processes),
not without it. The addon is optional, the snapshot TTL is 500ms and the scan
cadence is 12-30s, so a relay with no active agent pane never warms its own
cache and pays ~1.4s cold on the CIM path -- slower than what it replaced.

* fix(windows): log the port-scan fall-through on the relay diagnostic stream

Checked where this code actually runs before trusting the log. `console.warn`
did reach a file, but relayLogLine is the right call and the reasoning is worth
recording.

`scanWindowsListeningPorts` runs only in the detached relay daemon: relay.ts
returns early for --connect and --orca-cli, so PortScanHandler is reached only
through runRelayDaemon, and both launchers start it detached with a log file
(POSIX `> relay.log 2>&1`, Windows `1>relay.log 2>relay.err.log` via
Win32_Process.Create). installRelayLogRotation then wraps both streams into
relay.log, which is the file the documented diagnostics tail reads. Verified by
installing the real rotation over a temp path and reading the file back.

So the line surfaced -- but untimestamped, in a log whose format exists so
reconnect flaps can be correlated with the events around them (#7773).
relayLogLine is that format and the relay idiom in 41 other places, and
"since when has this host been stuck on PowerShell" is most of what this line
is for. The test spies on process.stderr to pin the stream and the ISO stamp
rather than just asserting something was called, since a fall-through logged
somewhere unread is the failure being guarded against.

Also fixes a comment that ended its own block early: `relay-*/relay.log` in a
doc comment contains `*/`.

* fix(windows): keep the dominant zero-peer state when reading a localized netstat

Shape alone promoted any zero-peer TCP row, not just listeners. `BOUND` and
`CLOSED` print a zero peer too, and on a localized host their state words are
exactly as unreadable as the listening one -- so a German host with listeners
plus one BOUND socket published a phantom listener. Reachable on an English
host too: with zero listeners a lone BOUND row is promoted AND, because the
result is then non-empty, it suppresses the blocked-reader fall-through.

Group the zero-peer rows by state word and keep only the largest group. A
transient BOUND or CLOSED socket cannot outnumber the listeners (51 against 0
on this host), so this removes the class rather than special-casing the words,
which would just be the localization bug again. An exact tie keeps every tied
group rather than guessing -- no worse than reading shape alone.

Verified against real netstat output: injecting a BOUND row into the localized
capture leaves the result identical to the English answer (47 rows, no phantom
65001). The new test has teeth -- reverting the grouping fails it and nothing
else.

Corrects two claims that were slightly wrong: the docblock said shape was the
fallback because BOUND prints a zero peer, which described the hazard without
saying it was unhandled; and a test comment said an English host "never sees a
bound socket", true only when it has at least one readable LISTENING row.

Also gates the fall-through log per reason instead of per module, so a host
that parses nothing today and truncates tomorrow reports both faults. Same
one-shot cost, and the vocabulary is two fixed strings so the set cannot grow.
That guard matters more than it looks: --log-file rotates stdout only, so the
file stderr can land in is unrotated.

* docs(windows): note the direction the zero-peer majority rule can fail in

The docblock described the tie case and stopped there, which reads as a
complete account of the limits when it is not: a majority rule inverts if the
majority is wrong, and enough transient zero-peer sockets would publish the
phantoms and drop the real listeners. Someone would reasonably have concluded
the rule was safe in both directions.

Trigger numbers and the repro stay in the PR discussion; the code only needs
the reader to know the rule has a direction, and the hatch (defer to the
PowerShell reader, which reads the state word instead of inferring it) since
that is the part a future editor would otherwise re-derive.

* ci(windows): run the real-netstat port scan suite in CI

The win32 suite only self-skips off Windows, so it passed vacuously in
every lane. Register it the way the cmd-shim suite is registered.

* test(windows): lower both child-process ratchets to the ground this PR took

Migrating the port scan off `node:child_process` onto `runProcess` drops
`src/relay/windows-port-scan.ts` from both allowlists, so both offender
counts fall by one. Each ratchet pins the count from below as well as
above, so a pin left above reality fails and re-opens room for the next
direct import to land for free.

* docs(windows): qualify the no-PowerShell claim on the netstat scan

The scan starts no PowerShell of its own, but no released relay carries the
optional `windows-process-tree.node` addon (only dev-channel-win-build.yml
builds it), so the shared process-table read falls back to a CIM scan that
forks one `powershell.exe`. The EDR win is the removal of the
`-EncodedCommand` / `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` shape, not the elimination of
PowerShell. Comment-only.

* docs(windows): record the identity-reader follow-up and the perf table's addon

attachWindowsProcessNames reads only `name`, so it should move to
`readWindowsProcessIdentityTable` once #17866 lands -- on that PR's detailed
reader it would open per-process handles for a field it discards. The reader
does not exist on this branch, so the call stays as-is with the follow-up
recorded rather than pulling #17866 in.

The process-table perf table's two Toolhelp32 rows assume the optional
`windows-process-tree.node` addon. The desktop bundles it; no released relay
does, so on an SSH host the CIM row is the operative number. Comment-only.

* docs(windows): state the CIM scan as the relay's normal path, not a fallback

No released relay carries the optional `windows-process-tree.node` addon --
release-cut.yml has zero references to it and only dev-channel-win-build.yml
builds it -- so the PowerShell CIM scan is what every SSH host runs. The
call-site docstring read as a conditional fallback standalone. Comment-only.

bfc6a262a7 fix(windows): read command lines from the kernel, not each process's PEB (#17886)
* fix(windows): read command lines from the kernel, not each process's PEB

MDE incident D scored Orca for suspicious memory activity: the vendored
`@vscode/windows-process-tree` recovered every process's command line by
opening it with `PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION | PROCESS_VM_READ` and chaining
three `ReadProcessMemory` calls through the PEB and
`RTL_USER_PROCESS_PARAMETERS`. On a 750ms/2s cadence over the whole table that
is the credential-dumping primitive, whatever the intent.

Windows 8.1 added `NtQueryInformationProcess`'s `ProcessCommandLineInformation`
class (60), which returns the same string as a kernel-built `UNICODE_STRING`
under `PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION` alone. Electron's floor is Windows
10, so every supported OS has it. The PEB reader stays behind a process-wide
latch that only `STATUS_INVALID_INFO_CLASS`/`NOT_SUPPORTED`/`NOT_IMPLEMENTED`
can set; a pid that merely denied a handle does not re-arm it, because
`PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION` implicitly grants the limited right and so cannot
be obtained where the weaker open already failed.

The same hunk drops `PROCESS_VM_READ` from `GetProcessMemoryUsage` and
`GetCpuUsage`, which acquired it and never read an address space.

Measured on Windows 11 (514 processes), counted in-process by swapping the
addon's import table entries for counting stubs, per CommandLine scan:
`ReadProcessMemory` 1128 -> 0, desired access 0x0410 -> 0x1000, p50 12.7ms ->
9.3ms. Command lines were byte-identical on every process both readers
recovered (376/376, 379/379 across runs), including a 24,068-character argv
with quotes, non-ASCII and trailing whitespace, and a WOW64 target. Three
processes that refused the old rights granted the new one; none went the other
way.

* chore(deps): refresh the windows-process-tree patch hash in the lockfile

* fix(windows): drop the PEB fallback and detect the unpatched prebuilt

Review of #17886 found three ways the reader could still perform, or silently
resume, the primitive it exists to remove.

The class-missing latch was a permanent, process-wide, one-way downgrade back
to the PEB read, and any single target returning STATUS_INVALID_INFO_CLASS /
NOT_SUPPORTED / NOT_IMPLEMENTED could trip it. On an EDR-hooked ntdll -- the
entire premise of this change -- a hook that does not recognise class 60 would
have restored PROCESS_VM_READ plus three ReadProcessMemory per pid per scan for
the life of the process, unobservably, on precisely the machines this was
written for. The fallback is deleted rather than guarded: GetProcessCommandLine
now returns false and leaves the command line empty, which callers already
handle, so the addon imports no ReadProcessMemory at all.

That absence is what makes the property checkable on the artifact. The
published 0.8.0 tarball ships a loadable prebuilt built from unpatched source;
it is node-addon-api, so a bare require() accepts it, allowBuilds is false and
CI installs with --ignore-scripts, and a rebuild that soft-exits on a Windows
file lock leaves it in place. Source-text guards could never see it.
windowsProcessTreeAddonReadsProcessMemory() checks the compiled binary instead,
and is wired into the install check, the rebuild, and the relay build.

The repair itself never worked: `git apply` run inside a work tree prefixes
patch paths with the cwd-relative prefix, skips what does not match, and exits
0, so the branch always fell through to its own post-check throw. The package
dir is always under the project root, while the fixture that covered it was in
%TEMP%, outside any repo. Blinding git with GIT_DIR fixes it, and the test now
runs inside a real work tree.

Also from review: bounds-check the returned UNICODE_STRING against the
allocation (not the size the second query clobbers) and cap the probe so a
bogus length cannot bad_alloc a whole scan; test NT_SUCCESS explicitly; value-
initialize ProcessInfo, which left `memory` as stack garbage -- measured, 82
processes reported the same bogus working set; and correct a comment in
windows-process-table.ts that still described the command line as a PEB read.

Re-measured on Windows 11 (543 processes): ReadProcessMemory 1128 -> 0, with
the symbol absent from the import table so the IAT hook finds no slot to
count; desired access 0x0410 -> 0x1000 on all 543 opens; p50 13.5 -> 12.3ms;
405/405 command lines byte-identical including a 24,087-character quoted
non-ASCII argv and a WOW64 target; 3 processes recovered only by the new path,
0 only by the old.

* chore(deps): refresh the windows-process-tree patch hash in the lockfile

* test(scripts): stage a script's local imports into the native-runtime fixture

ensure-native-runtime.mjs gained an import of windows-process-tree-gyp-rebuild.mjs,
but the fixture copied only the script itself, so every case in the suite died
with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND before reaching its own assertions. copyScriptWithLocalModules
already walks a script's co-located imports for exactly this reason -- its own doc
comment names this failure -- so use it rather than listing files by hand.

The two Windows cases still fail here, on a missing node-pty ConPTY runtime that
also fails on main; this only stops a resolution error from standing in front of
whatever they were meant to catch.

* fix(windows): route a locked stale addon to the Windows file-lock message

`pnpm install` with Orca running aborted with a raw EPERM stack. The stale-binary
guard -- which deletes an addon that still imports ReadProcessMemory so a skipped
rebuild cannot use it -- ran outside the try whose catch classifies Windows file
locks, and whose message is literally "Close running Orca/Electron/dev processes
for this worktree": exactly this situation.

Measured rather than assumed: rmSync against a loaded (memory-mapped) addon throws
EPERM, and `force: true` does not help, since it only swallows ENOENT. Cold copies
of the same file delete fine. So the delete threw a page before the handler that
knows what it means.

Moving the guard inside the try is the whole fix; the classifier already matches
the EPERM text. The new case runs the real script against a temp project whose
stale addon is held open by a live child process, and fails against the old
placement with the raw `syscall: 'rm'` stack the report described.

* feat(windows): warn once when command-line recovery is refused host-wide

Removing the PEB fallback removed a total-defeat vector, but it left a cliff: if
NtQueryInformationProcess(ProcessCommandLineInformation) is refused -- a hooked
ntdll that does not know class 60 -- every command line comes back empty and
agent identity matching silently degrades to image names. The addon still loads
and still enumerates, so every health check the app has stays green. A cliff
nobody can see is the failure mode this area keeps producing.

The querying process is the unambiguous probe. A process can always open itself
with PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION, so its own command line coming back empty
means the query is refused for every process -- not that some target denied a
handle, which is normal for roughly a quarter of the table. Keying on our own row
rather than a fraction means no threshold to tune and no false positive on a
hardened box where most processes deny.

One warning per session, gated on the CommandLine flag actually being requested so
a future identity-only reader cannot trip it. The suite's own SELF fixture gains a
command line for the same reason: a self row without one is the alarm, not a
detail.

* fix(windows): check the relay's staged addon at load, and answer tri-state

Two gaps in the ReadProcessMemory check, both about what it does not see.

It only ever looked at node_modules/@vscode/windows-process-tree. A relay host
has no node_modules of ours: it loads ./windows-process-tree.node staged beside
the bundle. The relay build asserts the symbol on the artifact it produces, but a
bundle and the addon beside it redeploy independently, so a host that has not
taken a new bundle keeps whatever binary is already there -- and the published
prebuilt is node-addon-api, so it binds cleanly and then walks every process's
address space. loadWindowsProcessTree now checks that file too and refuses it,
falling back to the CIM scan: slower, but not the thing an EDR quarantines a host
for. The predicate is duplicated rather than imported, because the config-script
copy is install-time tooling that drags in node-gyp and child_process, and this
module is bundled into the app and the relay.

And it returned false for a binary that is not there. All three callers happened
to be safe, but the name read as a safety predicate, so a future caller would take
a missing binary as verified. inspectWindowsProcessTreeAddon() now answers
clean/unpatched/missing over an explicit binary path -- which is also what lets
the relay's staged addon be checked at all -- and each caller states which state
it acts on.

Both are covered by cases that fail against the old code: without the load-time
check the unpatched staged addon is bound and the CIM fallback never runs, and
with 'missing' folded back into 'clean' the absence case fails outright.

* test(windows): load the addon in beforeAll, not at collection time

loadAddon() ran while the file was being collected, so on a Windows checkout with
no built addon the require threw before any case existed and took the seven
patch-text cases down with it -- cases that read only the patch file and need no
binary at all. Verified both ways against a deliberately unresolvable addon path:
at collection time vitest reports "no tests" for the file; from beforeAll the
seven text cases pass and only the three addon cases go.

* fix(deps): normalize the windows-process-tree patch to LF and let pnpm own its hash

`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` failed on this branch on every platform with
ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH, which breaks CI and the release build.

Two coupled defects. The patch file was committed with CRLF -- 174 CR bytes,
against zero on main -- and `.gitattributes` pins `/config/patches/*.patch -text`
precisely so checkout cannot convert it, so those bytes reached every runner. And
pnpm hashes a patch **LF-normalized**, so the raw sha256 of a CRLF file is a value
pnpm never computes:

  raw sha256      322965470c05f63d8527f7d8e892ee26ee444136b66b57fd64c362a9f2ff05d1
  LF-normalized   f8ea245391c94da5770045aeea01fa6de466c2199c6ef46b5b769b398aa9823e

The lockfile carried the raw one, at all three sites. It is the only one of the
seven patches where the two digests differ, which is why the other six passed.

Normalized the patch to LF and took pnpm's own value from
`pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`; nothing here is hand-computed. With the file
LF-only the two interpretations coincide, so the lockfile, the contract test's
no-CR assertion and its hash assertion all agree at one number -- and
`config/scripts/windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs`, which was red on
this branch for the same reason, is green again. The lockfile diff is exactly the
three hash lines.

The regression check is the installer, not a digest. Two separate reviews
"verified" the shipped hash by recomputing sha256(patchBytes) and matching the
lockfile; both were wrong, because both repeated the same wrong assumption about
which bytes pnpm hashes. A check that reproduces the original mistake is not
independent. So the new case runs `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only
--ignore-scripts` against a copy of the manifest, lockfile and patches, and
asserts exit 0 -- verified by deletion: restoring the shipped hash fails it with
the exact ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH from the branch's package (windows)
job.

Also corrected the `.gitattributes` comment claiming pnpm hashes patches
byte-for-byte. The `-text` setting is right -- `git apply` needs the exact bytes --
but that sentence is the claim that produced the wrong hash twice.

* ci(windows): run the process-tree patch suites in CI

Both suites only self-skip off Windows, so the binary-level check that the
addon carries no ReadProcessMemory passed vacuously in every lane.

* fix(windows): force core.autocrlf=input for the patch repair

My LF normalization of the windows-process-tree patch broke the `git apply`
repair path introduced in this PR. The two are coupled and I checked only one.

Those 174 CR bytes were not editor noise. They sat on exactly the pre-image
lines and nowhere else -- 107/107 in src/process.cc, 67/67 in
src/process_commandline.cc, 0 on every added or context line -- because
@vscode/windows-process-tree@0.8.0 ships those two sources as CRLF. Normalizing
the patch made its pre-image stop matching the file it is applied against.

Measured, reconstructing the true CRLF pre-image from the pre-normalization
blob and applying the current LF patch:

  core.autocrlf   plain   -c core.autocrlf=input
  true            exit 0  exit 0
  input           exit 0  exit 0
  false           exit 1  exit 0

`false` is Git's own built-in default and what "checkout as-is" selects in the
Git for Windows installer -- on this box the `true` that hides it comes from the
installer's system gitconfig, not from anything in the repo. There the repair
throws, ensureWindowsProcessTreeCommandLinePatch reports "still reads the PEB,
and repairing it ... failed", isWindowsNativeLockError does not match that text,
and `pnpm install` dies with no path forward.

Forcing the mode rather than `--ignore-whitespace`: both fix every cell and both
leave the applied file fully LF, but `input` relaxes line endings only, so a hunk
whose real content drifted is still rejected. The repair rewrites a
security-relevant source file; it should stay strict about everything except the
thing that is legitimately ambiguous.

Not reverting the patch to CRLF: windows-process-tree-patch-contract.test.mjs
(pre-existing on main) forbids CR bytes in it, and pnpm computes the same hash
either way. LF plus the forced mode is the end state.

The suite could not have caught this. The fixture built its pre-image from the
patch itself and joined with '\n', so fixture and patch agreed by construction on
any encoding -- once again a test that passes without its fix. It now emits the
CRLF the real package ships, and the case runs under both autocrlf modes pinned
through a temp HOME gitconfig, because the repair blinds git to the repo and so
reads global config. Verified by deletion in both directions: with the flag
removed the autocrlf=false case fails with the exact "still reads the PEB" dead
end while autocrlf=true still passes, and with the fixture back on LF all eight
cases pass with no fix present at all.

Also corrected the .gitattributes comment I added last commit. It said `git
apply` needs the bytes the patch was written against, which is now false -- the
pinned bytes are LF and the bytes it was written against are CRLF. That is the
same class of confident-and-wrong claim that produced the bad hash twice.

* fix(windows): assert the rebuilt addon, and install the patch for real in tests

Three follow-ups from review.

**The packaged binary had no check.** The relay build asserts its own artifact
and ensure-native-runtime asserts what it loads, but nothing looked at the addon
copied into the packaged app -- so a rebuild that silently produced the upstream
reader shipped. `rebuild-native-deps.mjs` now asserts `clean` on it after
`rebuild()`. This is also the caller D4's tri-state was missing: every existing
site branches on `=== 'unpatched'`, so `missing` still behaved exactly like
`clean` everywhere, which was the thing making it a state rather than a boolean.
Here both non-clean states fail, and they fail differently: after a rebuild that
reported success, an absent binary is a broken build, not an absence to shrug at.

The fake `rebuild()` had to start producing a binary for that to mean anything,
so it now emits stand-in bytes and takes `addon: 'clean' | 'unpatched' | 'none'`.
Verified by deletion: with the assertion removed both new cases pass.

**The frozen-install case could not see a patch at all.** `--lockfile-only`
resolves and never applies one, so its coverage stops at hash consistency. Added
a case that installs `@vscode/windows-process-tree@0.8.0` for real with the patch
and asserts the materialized `src/process_commandline.cc` carries the marker and
no longer carries `ReadProcessMemory` -- about 1.5s for the pair.

Correcting the brief on that one: it does **not** catch the `git apply` breakage
from the previous commit. Measured -- with `-c core.autocrlf=input` removed it
passes cleanly, because `pnpm install` uses pnpm's own patch applier and never
runs our repair script. What it does catch is a patch pnpm can no longer apply:
corrupting one pre-image line fails both cases. The repair path stays covered by
the CRLF fixture in rebuild-native-deps-node-pty.test.mjs.

Worth recording, since it decides whether the LF normalization was safe at all:
pnpm applies the LF patch to the CRLF tarball sources without complaint, and
materializes them as LF with the marker present and `ReadProcessMemory` absent.
The primary install path was never affected -- only the `git apply` fallback was.

**Dead timeout.** The frozen-install case passed `timeoutMs: 300_000` to the
spawn while vitest capped the case itself at 30s, so on a cold runner vitest
would have killed it first. Both cases now declare the budget they use.

* test(windows): route the frozen-install check through the pnpm invocation owner

The new patched-dependencies check hand-rolled a PATH walk naming 'pnpm.cmd',
which the windows batch shim spawn boundary ratchet rejects: pnpm-cli-invocation
already owns that decision for every other script, and its allowlist only
shrinks.

Reuse resolvePnpmCliInvocation for the command and prefixArgs, and the shared
resolveCliCommand for the presence check, so no shim name is spelled here. Its
`shell` flag is dropped because runProcessSync refuses it and already drives a
shim through the interpreter itself.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker 687a22e1ee fix(computer-use): run the Windows runtime as one persistent helper (#17858)
* fix(computer-use): run the Windows runtime as one persistent helper

Microsoft Defender for Endpoint raised multi-stage Execution + Collection
incidents against Orca on Windows ("Screenshots were taken unexpectedly on
this device... Screen capture code was found in a script launched by
powershell.exe", factor "Executes suspicious MSIL code"). The desktop script
provider spawned a fresh powershell.exe per operation, so a single computer-use
session produced a burst of short-lived PIDs and re-emitted runtime.ps1's
inline Add-Type P/Invoke assembly on every click.

runtime.ps1 gains a -Serve mode that loads its assemblies once and then reads
NDJSON requests from stdin, and a new DesktopScriptRuntimeHost owns one
long-lived child: lazy spawn, strict serialization, a 30s per-request timeout,
restart on crash, a 120s idle shutdown, and dispose() on provider teardown. The
one-shot -OperationPath path stays as the fallback, and Linux keeps its python3
bridge unchanged.

Both Windows spawn sites now use -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned instead of
Bypass, falling back once to Bypass (and logging) when a Restricted host
refuses the unsigned script.

* fix(computer-use): recover the runtime host instead of latching it off

Review follow-up on the persistent Windows computer-use helper.

A helper that died before producing a line set an unavailable flag nothing ever
cleared, and the client then dropped the host for the life of the session. One
transient bad spawn — a Defender scan, a locked CSC temp directory — silently
restored the per-click powershell.exe burst and per-operation MSIL emission this
work exists to remove, with computer use still working so nothing looked wrong.
Start failures are now retried, then cool down for 60s, then re-probed; the
client keeps the host so it can come back. Repeated post-answer crashes cool
down too, and a single reply no longer clears the failure count.

The one-shot bridge decided its execution-policy retry from a message that fell
back to stdout, so a window title containing "SecurityError" could replay a
non-idempotent operation — a double click, keystroke or paste — and stick the
session on Bypass. The retry now requires empty stdout and a matching stderr.

Serve-mode replies carry an echoed request id. Without one a single stray stdout
line would make every later response answer the previous request, acting on
stale element indexes with no error raised; a mismatch now kills the child.
Non-JSON noise is ignored rather than counted as the helper having answered.

Also: warnings reach the main process over the sidecar's IPC channel rather than
its piped, unread stdio; the child is watched on close rather than exit; dispose
latches so a queued request cannot respawn during teardown; and the host is
split into a serve channel and an availability policy to stay under max-lines.

* fix(computer-use): prove a helper never started before replaying its request

The retry that replaced the permanent-latch bug could deliver unrequested
input. send() re-sent the same request whenever the helper died without
replying, but "no reply came back" is not "the operation did not run":
runtime.ps1 synthesizes the click and only then builds the snapshot, which
allocates a full-window bitmap and walks the UIA tree — a native GDI+/UIA fault
there is uncatchable, and leaves the click already delivered. A deterministic
fault meant three clicks from the host plus a fourth from the one-shot bridge,
surfaced as a single failed operation.

-Serve now writes one {"ready":true} line after its Add-Type work and before
its first read, so "never started" is a fact rather than an inference. A request
is replayed only when the helper died before announcing. A runtime.ps1 that
predates the announcement — reachable through the provider path override — is
covered by an observation-tool allowlist until a ready line proves otherwise.

Host-detected aborts (timeout, desynchronised reply, oversized line) suppress
the exit handler, so they were bypassing failure accounting entirely and a
helper failing that way was respawned once per operation forever. They now
count and are logged.

Also stop charging twice for one outage: entering the cooldown resets the
failure count, so the first death after recovery no longer re-enters a full
cooldown and an interleaved workload cannot be stranded on the one-shot bridge.

* fix(computer-use): ignore a stdin write callback from a torn-down helper

stop() destroys stdin, so a write still queued at teardown calls back with
ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED. The callback carried no channel or request identity and
write() had no closed guard, so it ran abortChannel a second time: stopChannel
no-opped but recordFailure and the warning did not, charging two failures for
one operation and reaching the 3-strike cooldown at half the intended rate.
That feeds the same accounting that keeps a persistently broken helper from
respawning once per operation.

The same root also allowed a late callback landing after a replacement channel
existed to stop that channel and reject a different request with the previous
one's error. Node fires the destroyed-stream callback on the next tick, well
before a new request arrives, so the double-count is the reachable effect;
binding the callback closes both.

write() now drops payloads and error reports once closed, and the host ignores
any report whose channel or request id is no longer current.

* test(computer-use): pin each stale-write guard independently

The channel's closed guard and the host's request-identity check are redundant
by design, and the existing tests only failed when both were absent. Someone
deleting one, believing the other was the covered one, would have got a green
suite and a live regression — the same shape as a test that passes without the
fix it was written for.

Each is now pinned on its own. The channel's half is tested against the channel
directly: after stop() it takes no writes and reports no error from one already
queued, which the host cannot observe because it drops the channel at the same
moment. The host's half is pinned by the case the channel cannot see — a live
channel whose request was already answered, where backpressure delivers a write
callback for a request that is no longer pending.

Removing either guard alone now fails a test. Both carry a comment saying they
are deliberately redundant and separately pinned, so the next reader does not
have to rediscover this from the diff.

* ci(windows): run the computer-use runtime host suite in CI

The win32 suite only self-skips off Windows, so it passed vacuously in
every lane. Register it the way the cmd-shim suite is registered.

* fix(computer-use): time the runtime host cooldown on a monotonic clock

The start-failure cooldown was a wall-clock deadline, so a backwards step —
an NTP correction, a VM snapshot restore, a user changing the clock — left
`remainingCooldown()` returning the cooldown plus the whole step. A one-hour
step measured 3,660,000ms, and ten real minutes later still 3,060,000ms.

Nothing shortens it from there. Only `recordSuccess()` clears the cooldown on
a non-dispose path, and no request can reach a helper to succeed while it
holds, so every `send()` throws `runtime_host_unavailable` first. The host is
built with no `now` override and its lifecycle is a module-level singleton
that shuts down at process exit, so the latch held for the sidecar's life —
computer use kept working via the one-shot bridge while the per-click
powershell.exe burst this host exists to remove came back silently.

Store the instant the cooldown began and compare elapsed monotonic time,
following the two fixes in #17884. The field is `number | null` rather than
sentinel 0 because `performance.now()` legitimately returns 0.

Both new tests leave `now` unset, because the bug was in the default the host
picks and a test that injects a clock cannot see it.

* fix(computer-use): give a queued request its own deadline

The 30s request timeout was armed only in `sendOnce`, once a request reached
a helper. A request behind N timing-out ones therefore waited roughly N times
that with no deadline of its own: bounded, but the caller sees an `await` that
looks hung for minutes and gets no error to act on.

Move the serialization tail into its own class and arm a deadline at enqueue
time. Only the wait is bounded — a request that reaches a helper still gets
its full execution budget, so nothing that used to succeed now fails. An
expired request is dropped rather than sent late: the caller has already been
told it failed, and a click delivered after that is worse than no click.

The tail keeps its never-rejecting shape and chains on the turn rather than on
the raced promise, so a caller giving up early cannot release the next request
while its predecessor is still in flight.

* fix(computer-use): stop reading a locked file as an execution policy block

`UnauthorizedAccess` is the FullyQualifiedErrorId PowerShell reports for a
policy block, and it is also a strict prefix of `UnauthorizedAccessException`,
which .NET raises for any ordinary locked or ACL-denied file. The predicate
matched the token unanchored, so an AV scan holding runtime.ps1 or a locked
CSC temp directory was read as a policy block.

Two consequences, both bad. `escalateExecutionPolicy()` has no path back, so
one false match spent the rest of the session on `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` —
the exact command line token this stack exists to stop emitting. And on the
one-shot path `isPolicyBlockedStart` re-runs the operation: one-shot mode
writes stdout only after the operation returns, so a crash partway through an
action is indistinguishable from a helper that never started, and the click
lands twice.

Measured on Windows against all three records, which the test carries verbatim
as fixtures:

  policy/Restricted      FullyQualifiedErrorId: UnauthorizedAccess
  policy/RemoteSigned    FullyQualifiedErrorId: UnauthorizedAccess
  genuine access denied  FullyQualifiedErrorId: UnauthorizedAccessException

`\b` is the whole discriminator: between `s` and `E` both sides are word
characters, so no boundary exists there and the exception cannot match.

Dropped two alternatives that measurement showed were wrong. `PSSecurityException`
never appears — the record surfaces through a native-command wrapper and reports
`ParentContainsErrorRecordException`. The prose is wrong three times over: it
differs by policy, it is localized, and PowerShell hard-wraps it mid-sentence.

Anchoring on the `FullyQualifiedErrorId:`/`CategoryInfo:` labels would be more
precise again, but those labels are localized where the values are not, so it
would lose a real block on a non-English host and strand it with no fallback.
Matching the values with word boundaries keeps both directions; a fixture with
translated labels pins it.

The escalation stays sticky. With the predicate correct, it only fires on a
machine that really does block, where re-probing the preferred policy would buy
a guaranteed failed spawn per operation.

* fix(computer-use): route a malformed request back to the request that caused it

`ConvertFrom-Json` throws before `$requestId` is read, so the serve loop
answered an unparseable request with an untagged error. On the client that is
not an error at all: `deliver()` sees no matching id, calls `abortChannel`,
kills the helper and charges a failure — and the helper's own message is
discarded. A parse failure was reported as a stream desync with no trace of
the real cause, and three of them walked into the 60s cooldown behind three
misleading "did not match" messages.

Recover the id from the raw line when the parse fails. No wire change: the
response shape is untouched and `BridgeResponse.requestId` already documents
this echo. It is the same shape the helper already returns for `not_a_tool`,
where the id survives because it is read before the operation runs. Both
mixed pairings degrade safely — a new script with an old client resolves the
error normally, and an old script with a new client still aborts, but now
reports what the helper said.

When the line is mangled past recovering an id, the desync abort is the honest
outcome, so keep it and carry the helper's text into it rather than replacing
it. A line the helper could not tag is usually the only account of the cause.

Proven against the real `runtime.ps1 -Serve`: the host can only write
well-formed JSON, so the parse-failure branch is unreachable through it and
the test drives the channel directly.

* fix(computer-use): keep the Bypass escalation only when Bypass actually works

AppLocker and WDAC constrained language mode raise PSSecurityException under
the same SecurityError category a real execution-policy block uses, so the
predicate matches them - correctly, on the evidence available. But those block
the script at parse time, which `-ExecutionPolicy Bypass` cannot lift. The
escalation was sticky unconditionally, so on a WDAC host we misdiagnosed,
retried, failed again, and then latched: every later command line carried the
most heavily weighted MDE token there is, on exactly the hardened, monitored
enterprise machine that is watching for it.

Treat the escalation as the diagnosis it is. A fallback that cannot start a
helper either disproves it - the policy was not what stopped the first attempt
- so revert to RemoteSigned instead of latching. When Bypass does start a
helper the diagnosis is confirmed and it stays sticky exactly as before, so a
genuinely Restricted machine still never pays a re-probe per operation.

The revert lands inside the outage rather than only at its end, so a
misdiagnosis costs one Bypass command line instead of one per attempt, and an
escalation that never proved itself does not outlive the cooldown that ends
the outage. Deliberately not a permanent "fallback is useless" flag: a Bypass
attempt that failed for a transient reason would then disable the fallback for
the session, which is the same latch in the other direction.

Only `runtime_host_unavailable` proves no helper started, so only that reverts;
a helper that started and then died proves Bypass works. That also makes the
policy branch reachable on a final attempt for the first time, so it now
rejects as unavailable rather than a generic error - that code is what routes
the operation to the one-shot bridge, which carries its own policy fallback,
and without it an all-blocked host would fail operations outright instead of
degrading. The pre-existing "reports itself unavailable when Bypass is also
refused" test pins that.

OrcaWinandOrca Worker b6ca8dad99 fix(hooks): register the Claude hook script directly on Windows (#18875) (#18905)
* fix(hooks): register the Claude hook script directly on Windows (#18875)

The Windows Claude Code lifecycle hook was registered as
`powershell.exe -NoProfile -EncodedCommand <...>` whose entire decoded payload
was a `Test-Path` and a call to `~/.orca/agent-hooks/claude-hook.cmd`. Every
hook event paid a full PowerShell start-up to reach a script that exits at its
first `ORCA_PANE_KEY` guard, so sessions outside Orca paid it to do nothing.

Register the script path itself instead, with `|| echo {}` for the
neutral-JSON-when-missing contract (#14818). Measured on Windows 11, invoked as
Claude Code invokes it (`printf payload | bash -c -l "<command>"`):

  idle (n=12)          baseline 177ms | before 471ms | after 213ms
  10-way conc (n=40)            --    | before 656ms | after 296ms
  p95 under load                --    | before 696ms | after 337ms

It also drops an interpreter from the chain the hook's timeout kill must tear
down. Killing the hook does not kill its PowerShell grandchild, which still
holds the stdout handle the agent reads to EOF -- measured, EOF arrived 352ms
AFTER the kill, when the orphan exited by itself. msys2 creates children
suspended and resumes them after, so a kill landing in that window strands one
that never exits and EOF never comes; that is the reported frozen session.

The encoded launcher stays as the fallback for profile paths the shells cannot
carry bare (space, `%`, `^`, `&`, non-ASCII) and for hosts where Git Bash is not
resolvable, because PowerShell 5.1 rejects `||`. Every other agent's hook is
untouched, as is the remote/SSH path.

Not adopted from the report: `cmd.exe /d /c <path>` (MSYS rewrites the `/c`
under Git Bash -- measured, the invocation fails), and raising the 10s timeout
(the orphan survives the kill regardless; the fast path puts the hook 30x under
the budget so the kill effectively stops firing).

* fix(build): list the new hook launcher modules in the CLI tsconfig project

config/tsconfig.cli.json enumerates its files explicitly, so the two new
imports reached by src/main/claude/hook-settings.ts failed tc:cli with TS6307.
src/main/git-bash.ts pulls in only node:fs, node:path and a shared constant,
so it adds nothing heavy to the CLI project.

* fix(hooks): address review of the direct Windows Claude hook launcher

- Make the Windows hook suites host-independent. A box with a cmd.exe AutoRun
  (HKCU\...\Command Processor\AutoRun) failed them at HEAD too: the tests
  redirect USERPROFILE, the AutoRun target vanishes, and MSYS spawns a .cmd
  without /d so AutoRun runs and lands on the hook's stderr. Seed an empty
  target, including under the deliberately-absent profile.
- Note in managed-hook-stdin-lifecycle why the "missing managed script" case no
  longer exercises the fallback for the direct shape (it carries an absolute
  path, so a redirected profile changes nothing); that path is covered live in
  windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts.
- Keep the direct shape off UNC profiles: WINDOWS_CMD_SAFE_PATH admits them, but
  //server/share/... is not a command cmd.exe reliably starts.
- Correct the comments: `|| echo {}` also fires when cmd.exe itself exits
  non-zero (failing AutoRun), printing {} twice. The encoded launcher exited 1
  on that same box, so neither shape is clean there.
- Test the contract that replaced runtime %USERPROFILE% resolution (STA-3348): a
  stale absolute path reports not_installed and is rewritten on install.
- Record the standing unmeasured assumption in windows-edr-posture.md: `||` does
  not parse in Windows PowerShell 5.1, so a compat consumer that hosts hook
  strings there would fail closed. Measure before widening to another agent.
- Trim the launcher comments per AGENTS.md; the numbers live in the doc.

* test(win32): register the new Windows-gated hook test in the CI lane

win32-test-lane-registration guards against exactly this: a Windows-gated file
that self-skips on ubuntu and reports success, so it runs on no machine. The new
windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts needs both entries — WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS
decides whether package_windows runs for a diff, and the workflow argv decides
whether the file runs once that job started.

* test(win32): remove the hook temp tree through the retrying helper

windows-lane-tree-removal-boundary scans exactly the specs in the Windows CI
lane, so registering windows-direct-cmd-hook-command.test.ts subjected it to the
rule: cmd.exe and bash have just exited in that tree, and a raw recursive rm
throws EPERM on Windows while their handles drain, turning a green spec into a
lane failure. Use removeTreeSync, which carries the repo's maxRetries policy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

f36c03e84a fix(windows): make the install-dir ACL repair rescue the launch it runs in (#18361)
* fix(windows): repair the poisoned install-dir ACL before the window, not after

The install-dir LPAC ACL poison (electron/electron#51761) still costs every
affected machine at least one crash: the probe that detects it is
setImmediate-deferred and answers 0.9-3.0s in, while createMainWindow runs
synchronously in the same frame and its renderer dies at init 48-1373ms later.

- Persist the poison verdict the moment the probe reports it, and await the
  repair (bounded at 20s) before any window is created on a launch that already
  carries the marker.
- Do not engage the GPU safe-graphics fallback while the install-dir ACL verdict
  is poisoned or still outstanding. Safe graphics does not rescue a poisoned
  tree, and --in-process-gpu removes the GPU child, erasing the sibling-death
  evidence that identifies the shape (4 field reports landed in 'misc' this way).
- Clear the safe-graphics marker once the repair lands, so a repaired machine
  stops launching software-rendered for the rest of that build.
- Give the repair marker a bounded retry budget: it was written on failure and
  matched regardless of outcome, so one transient failure pinned a machine to
  'marker-hit' for the life of that version.

* test(windows): pin the install-dir ACL repair against the real icacls binary

* fix(windows): stop the install-DACL verdict from outliving the evidence

Adversarial review round 1. Five blocking findings, all addressed.

1. gpu-lifecycle guard had only a source grep (green with the polarity
   inverted). The stated justification -- that gpu-lifecycle's import graph
   cannot be driven in-process -- was wrong: mocking `electron` plus
   `@electron-toolkit/utils` imports it fine. Replaced with
   gpu-lifecycle-install-dir-acl-guard.test.ts, which drives the real
   handleGpuChildCrash against a stub tracker. All four cases go red when the
   guard is flipped to `if (!isInstallDirAclSuspect())`.

2. A clean probe verdict retired the on-disk marker but not the in-memory
   `poison` verdict, so a machine the probe just proved healthy kept
   suppressing the GPU safe-graphics fallback and kept the dialog accusing the
   install folder -- permanently, since a `status:'failed'` probe deliberately
   keeps the marker. A positive clean reading now latches `installDirReadClean`,
   drops the verdict, and outranks a repair result that lands after it (a
   'failed' from a repair with nothing left to fix must not re-accuse).
   'repaired' is kept: it is not a contradiction and it is what tells the user
   to reload.

3. `noteWindowsInstallDirAclProbePending()` ran on every `openMainWindow` while
   the probe is once-per-process, so every tray/second-instance reopen armed a
   15s window in which `recordGpuCrash` was never called at all -- on healthy
   machines. `probeWindowsInstallDirAcl` now reports whether THIS call
   dispatched, and only a dispatch arms the grace window.

4. The pre-window ordering guarantee was defeatable and untested.
   `focusExistingMainWindow` opens a window whenever there is none and the app
   is ready -- true for the whole 20s gate, which is exactly when a user
   double-clicks the shortcut again. Added a `canOpenWindow` seam (same
   'pending' semantics as the existing `!app.isReady()` case) wired to
   `isBlockingInstallDirAclRepairInFlight()`, plus
   windows-install-dir-acl-startup-wiring.test.ts pinning the await ahead of
   both window-creation paths and both new call sites.

5. windows-install-dir-acl-repair.win32.test.ts was absent from the pr.yml
   win32 allowlist, so it ran nowhere. Added.

Also from the non-blocking list:
- The repair no longer clears a `userConfirmed: true` safe-graphics marker;
  "keep safe graphics" is a user choice, not Orca's automatic latch.
- `repairWindowsInstallDirPackageAcl` now reports its dispatch too, so a second
  entry into the gate resolves immediately instead of eating the full 20s
  budget waiting on an `onDone` that is never coming.
- The gate is wrapped in try/catch/finally, matching the contract the probe
  documents as mandatory for anything upstream of window creation.

Rebutted, not applied:
- "Gate should be conditioned on app.isPackaged." A dev launch only carries the
  poison marker if a dev launch actually probed that tree and found the
  signature, in which case the dev renderer is dying the same way and the
  repair is exactly what is needed. The adjacent `isPackaged` check guards a
  packaged-only early-window optimisation, not a correctness boundary.
- "Fold the poison marker into the repair marker's `outcome`." They answer
  different questions with different lifetimes. The repair marker is a retry
  budget (`attempts >= 3` disables the repair for that version) and is never
  cleared; the poison marker is cleared by a successful repair and by a clean
  probe. A `'pending'` outcome written before the attempt would bump `attempts`,
  so three launches killed mid-repair would permanently disable a repair that
  never once ran icacls to completion.

* fix(windows): keep counting GPU crashes while the install-DACL verdict is pending

Adversarial review round 2. Both blocking findings addressed.

1. handleGpuChildCrash early-returned on isInstallDirAclSuspect() BEFORE
   recordGpuCrash, so the crash left no trace in the 30s rolling window. The
   suspect window is armed on every win32 non-serve launch, and the field
   bundles put it at 0.8-1.7s after main_window_created on hosts whose DACL is
   clean (matchesPoisonSignature=false) -- squarely inside the 2.1-6.2s
   bad-driver bursts this repo already pinned in
   gpu-crash-fallback-field-sessions.test.ts. A healthy machine with a failing
   driver could lose an entire coalesced burst and never engage safe graphics.

   The crash is now always recorded; only the engagement consults the verdict,
   and it waits for the verdict rather than acting on the suspicion
   (waitForInstallDirAclVerdict, resolved by the probe's onDone or by the
   existing 15s grace, whichever lands first).

   Deviation from the review's suggested shape, deliberately: awaiting the
   verdict before persisting anything reintroduces the exact race
   gpu-fallback-engagement.ts documents -- Chromium aborts the whole browser
   process on the 6th GPU crash, ~1.3s after the 3rd, which is less than the
   probe takes to answer. So the unconfirmed marker is written up front and
   withdrawn if the verdict comes back poisoned. A machine killed mid-wait
   still comes back software-rendered, and its marker is unconfirmed, which is
   the state the repair's own clear already retires.

   gpu-lifecycle-install-dir-acl-guard.test.ts now drives the real
   GpuCrashFallbackTracker and the real engagement path (the restart prompt
   firing is the signal) instead of a stub tracker, and covers the case the
   previous suite could not express: a burst that lands entirely inside the
   pending window still engages once the probe reports clean. Four reverts go
   red -- restoring the pre-record guard (2 tests), dropping the wait, dropping
   the post-wait re-check, and dropping the pre-wait marker write (2 tests).

2. The round-1 evidence block quoted commits, a test name and pass counts that
   no longer exist, and its real-icacls Windows run predated the commit that
   rewrote the gate. Re-run at this commit; counts and the live-Windows result
   are restated in the handoff rather than carried forward.

Also from the non-blocking list:
- 'marker-hit' conflated "already repaired" with "retry budget spent", because
  hasMarkerFor matches outcome === 'repaired' too. The result now carries
  alreadyRepaired, and the recovery maps that to stage 'repaired' -- so a launch
  killed between a successful repair and its marker clear no longer tells the
  user the folder needs an administrator, no longer latches
  isInstallDirAclSuspect() for the session, and does retire the poison marker.

Not applied, with reasoning:
- "clearGpuFallbackMarker narrowed to userConfirmed === false leaves the target
  population software-rendered after a repair." The summary was overstated and
  is corrected, but the narrowing stands: a userConfirmed marker now requires a
  clean DACL verdict, because the restart prompt that writes it is exactly what
  the gate above withholds while the install is a suspect. The population this
  family targets can no longer reach confirmMarker while poisoned.
- "writeInstallDirAclPoisonMarker re-stamps on a budget-exhausted machine
  forever." True, but on that machine the tree really is still poisoned and the
  gate resolves immediately ('skipped', no icacls spawn, no 20s wait), so the
  marker is telling the truth. Retiring it would be wrong; only a clean probe
  reading should.

* fix(windows): register the real-icacls spec and stop its teardown racing icacls

Two ratchets were red:
- windows-lane-tree-removal-boundary: the win32 spec's afterAll used raw
  rmSync on a tree two icacls.exe children had just rewritten DACLs on, which
  is the EPERM race removeTreeSync exists for.
- win32-test-lane-registration: the spec was in the pr.yml argv but not in
  WINDOWS_PACKAGE_TESTS, so a future diff touching only test files would not
  select package_windows and the spec would self-skip on ubuntu and report
  success.

* fix(windows): re-arm the GPU fallback latch when the install-DACL verdict withholds it

recordGpuCrash reports the threshold crossing exactly once and latches `engaged`.
handleGpuChildCrash consumes that report before consulting the DACL verdict, and
installDirAclClearsGpuFallback then discards it — so nothing could ever engage
safe graphics again in that process. A machine whose tree the repair fixes and
whose driver is genuinely broken stayed hardware-accelerated through an unbounded
crash loop, with no prompt and no marker.

disengage() releases only the one-shot latch; the crash window is untouched, so a
real driver burst is still never erased. Test is RED without the re-arm.

* fix(windows): keep the safe-graphics marker while an install-DACL repair is in flight

The gate dispatches a repair without arming the probe clock, so
waitForInstallDirAclVerdict() returns immediately and the withdrawal deleted the
marker inside Chromium's FATAL window (crash 6 lands ~1.3s after crash 3, well
inside the 20s gate). The process then died mid-repair, spent no attempt, and
relaunched hardware accelerated into the same gate — spawning the same GPU
children, FATALing again, forever.

Hold the marker while poison.stage is 'pending' so that launch comes back
software rendered and the next gate runs to completion. Still not engaged this
launch, so --in-process-gpu does not erase the sibling-death evidence. A
terminal verdict has no next step to rescue, so it still withdraws. Both new
tests are RED without the retention.

* fix(windows): stop a repaired marker outranking a fresh poison verdict

The probe reads the install DACL and finds it poisoned; `startRepair` dispatches;
`markerHitFor` sees a repair marker recording `outcome: 'repaired'` for the same
installDir+appVersion and reports `alreadyRepaired`, which the recovery module maps
to stage 'repaired'. So the launch that just proved the tree poisoned runs no icacls,
deletes the poison marker that arms the next launch's pre-window gate, clears the
suspect flag so `--in-process-gpu` can engage on a tree safe graphics cannot rescue,
and tells the user "Orca repaired the permissions."

Reachable whenever the tree is re-poisoned after one successful repair of the same
version, and whenever a repair reports success without clearing the tree — the silent
icacls no-op this module exists to document.

A DACL reading taken this launch now outranks the marker: `probeConfirmedPoisoned`
stops `outcome: 'repaired'` short-circuiting the repair. The attempt budget still
bounds it, so an unrepairable tree does not re-spawn icacls forever. The pre-window
gate does not set the flag — it acts on a marker from an earlier launch, not on
evidence of its own, so a recorded repair still outranks it there.

Also drives the GPU-fallback re-arm test through a repair that actually completes
'repaired', rather than a later clean probe, which is the route the review exercised.

* fix(windows): make the pre-window ACL gate act on the poison evidence it fired on

The gate fired on a poison marker — an earlier launch's DACL reading that nothing has
retired — but withheld `probeConfirmedPoisoned` from the repair, so a repair marker
recording an older success still short-circuited it. On the three-launch shape the gate
exists for (repair succeeds; tree is re-poisoned; the next launch's probe records the
poison but dies before writing its repair marker) the gate ran no icacls, deleted the
poison marker that arms every later gate, un-suspected the tree so --in-process-gpu could
engage, and told the user "Orca repaired the permissions." `applyInstallDirAclProbeVerdict`
then swallowed that launch's own reading behind `if (poison) return`.

Both callers of `startRepair` hold outstanding poison evidence, so the flag is now
unconditional (renamed `poisonEvidenceOutstanding`) and `marker-hit` means only that the
attempt budget is spent. The probe guard is narrowed to an in-flight gate repair: a reading
taken after the gate finished re-arms the poison marker and downgrades a claimed repair.

Also: withholding safe graphics now ends with the repair budget. A machine whose attempts
are spent while the signature persists was denied safe graphics on every launch for the
life of that appVersion — and had its marker deleted each time — including the healthy
installs the probe's flag-blind ACE match over-matches, where the driver really is broken.

Non-blocking, same lane: re-read `isQuitting` after the up-to-15s verdict wait, and skip
the recovered-launch prompt when the ACL gate retired the marker read before whenReady.

* fix(windows): stop a timed-out gate repair outranking a later poison reading

The gate's 20s budget expires while icacls runs on under its own 120s cap, so
the probe can read the tree poisoned while that repair is still in flight. Its
success claim then deleted the poison marker, un-suspected the tree and told the
user their permissions were fixed. The reading is now latched and outranks it.

* fix(windows): stop a gate repair claim pre-empting this launch's probe reading

Round-7 adversarial findings, both driven against the real modules:

- isInstallDirAclSuspect returned false the moment the pre-window gate set
  stage 'repaired', short-circuiting ahead of the probe-pending grace check.
  The GPU children die 48-1373ms after window creation while the probe
  answers 0.9-3.0s in, so an icacls that silently no-opped (exit 0, tree
  untouched) opened exactly that interval to --in-process-gpu on a
  still-poisoned tree - and a 'keep safe graphics' answer then pinned a
  userConfirmed marker no later repair may clear, with the poison marker
  already deleted so no later launch gates. The claim now stays provisional
  until this launch's probe corroborates it or the grace window lapses.

- A probe reading that disproves a 'repaired' claim re-armed the poison
  marker but never restored the unconfirmed safe-graphics marker the claim
  had cleared, so the next launch relaunched hardware-accelerated into the
  re-armed gate. The clear is now captured and handed back on disproof.

* test(windows): pin the nested and update-inherited grants against real icacls

The live spec asserted the grant landed on the root-level module file only.
It now also pins that the flagless /T pass reaches a nested file carrying
its own protected DACL (the shape app.asar.unpacked and node_modules have),
and that a file written after the repair inherits the (OI)(CI) root grant -
the stated reason that grant form exists.

* fix(windows): keep the recovered-launch prompt silent while the tree is the suspect

Round-8 fresh-eyes finding, driven against the real modules: the prompt
re-read the marker the pre-window gate may have retired, but never consulted
isInstallDirAclSuspect() - so after a FAILED gate (tree still a live suspect,
window blank behind the 10s reveal fallback, Keep as both defaultId and
cancelId) a 'keep it' answer pinned a userConfirmed marker no later repair
may clear, on the exact victim class the repair cannot help. The guard now
covers both gate outcomes; staying silent leaves the marker unconfirmed,
which a successful repair still retires.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 98e77ef1a7 feat(mobile): structured native Codex chat (#18074)
* feat(mobile): finalize structured native Codex chat

* fix(mobile): close structured chat lifecycle gaps

* wip(mobile): fence stale structured inventory and bound operation-id retention

Fence local structured-session inventory and subscription responses with a
sync generation so a toggle-off clear, reconnect restore, or retry cannot
apply a mirror from a superseded instance. Bound mobile ambiguous
operation-ID retention at 128 with unmount cleanup.

Staged on the reconcile branch only: the sync module is now 312 lines and
needs a real split before this can reach the PR head.

* fix(ci): split the structured session-tabs sync and give static analysis mobile types

The local structured session-tabs sync module outgrew the 300-line cap once it
took on generation fencing, so split it along its real seams instead of raising
the cap: the generation/cursor fence, snapshot projection, snapshot apply,
inventory refresh, and the subscription loop. The original path stays as a
barrel so no importer moves.

Repoint the host-session-mirror settle census at the apply module, which owns
two receipts now — the snapshot it mirrors in, and the toggle-off teardown that
retracts what it published. The teardown receipt is named rather than anonymous
so the pin says which direction it settles.

The changed-code quality gate lints mobile files and resolves their types from
mobile/node_modules, but mobile is a separate pnpm project that the root install
never populates, so every mobile type degraded to an `error` type and the gate
reported phantom findings. Install mobile dependencies in static analysis when
the diff touches mobile, gated on a new classifier output.

* fix(mobile): let a slow capability handshake still reach connected

The mobile capability update is an advisory whose result is discarded, yet an
unanswered one was fatal while an explicit rejection was tolerated. A 5s timeout
on the direct client force-closed the socket, and on the relay path it failed
`confirmResume` before `connected` was ever published, so a consistently slow
link redialled forever. Both paths now share one helper that settles every
ambiguous outcome (timeout, mid-flight drop) like a rejection and rejects only
when the frame never reached the wire — the one case nothing else recovers from,
since the socket's own desync force-close is gated on already being connected.
The generation guard still keeps a replaced session from connecting.

Retained structured-session operation ids were capped at 128 with oldest-first
eviction, but every retained id belongs to a send whose outcome is unknown, so
eviction turned a user's retry into a second message on the host. Bound the map
by expiry against the id's own embedded timestamp instead, mirroring the host's
operation ledger, so no id is released while the host would still honour it.

Also give the mobile CI install the root install's lockfile drift guard (mobile's
lockfile carries patchedDependencies a silent rewrite would drop), gate
mobile_dependencies on should_run, and key the pnpm store cache on both lockfiles.

* refactor(mobile): extract the relay pending-request registry

The merge composed two independently-sized changes — this branch's capability
handshake settle and main's dial-stage tracking — pushing the relay session file
to 304 lines against a 300 cap. Neither side broke it alone.

Move the in-flight request registry (id generation, tracking, settlement, and
reject-all with its delivery-ambiguity marking) into RelayPendingRequests,
matching the existing collaborator pattern alongside RelayDialStageTracker and
RpcSessionLivenessWatchdog. No behavior change.

Neil f37d2fec97 fix(linux): land the reviewed Linux packaging stack on main (#18100)
* fix(linux): give the CLI one entrypoint by extracting the AppImage once

* refactor(linux): trim AppImage CLI registration seams

* test(cli): assert registration lock serialization

* fix(linux): fence AppImage terminal shim mounts

* fix(linux): accept extracted AppImage runtimes with APPDIR only

* docs(linux): make headless AppImage extraction runnable

* refactor(linux): import bundled launcher directly

* fix(linux): reclaim superseded AppImage payloads and packaged symlinks

Pruning removed 3215 of 3216 files from a superseded generation and always
stranded resources/app.asar, leaking ~105 MB per version update. Electron's
asar shim reports a *.asar file as a directory, so the recursive remove tried
to rmdir a real file and failed with ENOTEMPTY; the .catch(() => {}) hid it.
Reproduced end to end on Ubuntu 24.04: 519M -> 623M across one update, and
519M again once the payload is actually reclaimed.

removeExtractedAppImagePayload holds process.noAsar for the removal, counted
so overlapping removals cannot hand the shim back early, and the prune site
now warns with the path instead of swallowing the rejection. All three
removal sites use it -- staging cleanup and displaced roots leaked the same
way.

Also reclaim symlinks left by a packaged deb/rpm install, which the
extracted-cache-only rule turned into a hard conflict on a deb -> AppImage
migration, and name the remedy in the conflict error.

* fix(linux): bound the CLI registration lock wait

`retries: 1000` caps the attempt count, not elapsed time, so at up to 1s per
attempt an IPC-driven registration could hang ~16 minutes against a wedged
holder with no feedback.

A legitimate holder is bounded by the extraction timeout, so wait that plus
slack and then fail with a message naming the lock file, rather than hanging.
`maxRetryTime` is forwarded verbatim to the `retry` package by proper-lockfile.

* fix(linux): stop re-extracting the AppImage on inode metadata churn

The extracted-payload cache key hashed ctime alongside dev/ino/size/mtime.
ctime moves on any inode metadata write -- `chmod +x`, which every AppImage
user is told to run, plus `chown`, an ACL or SELinux relabel, and a backup
restore -- none of which alter a byte of the payload.

Measured on Ubuntu 24.04: `chmod +x` leaves dev, ino, size and mtime
identical and moves ctime alone, so the key changed and the next launch paid
a full ~519 MB re-extraction and a multi-second stall to rebuild a payload it
already had, then pruned the old generation.

Key on content identity instead. An in-place content change moves mtime and
almost always size; a replacement moves the inode. The existing
replace-in-place test still passes.

* fix(linux): do not treat a lockless X socket as a dead display

An X server writes its lock beside its socket and both survive a crash
(verified against Xvfb under SIGKILL), so a socket with no lock was never
left by a crashed server. It is an endpoint published from elsewhere: a
container bind-mounting only /tmp/.X11-unix, WSLg, or a foreign PID
namespace. Declaring those dead made the desktop gate exit(1) on displays
that work, with no workaround, and the serve gate refuse to start.

Liveness now splits by ownership. A foreign DISPLAY trusts a lockless
socket; Orca's own :99 does not, because removeStaleDisplayArtifacts
unlinks the lock before the socket and so manufactures that state itself --
adopting it would resurrect the orphan-socket bug and stop the cleanup from
self-healing. The stale-lock rejection is unchanged.

Also correct four doc statements this behaviour falsified.

* fix(linux): fail closed when a stale socket blocks the Xvfb rebind

Readiness only checked that /tmp/.X11-unix/X99 exists. A stale socket we
could not unlink still exists after our own Xvfb refused to bind, so Orca set
DISPLAY to a dead server and Chromium died in Ozone init.

Measured on Ubuntu 24.04 against the pre-fix build: with a leftover :99
socket and no lock, serve exits 139 (SIGSEGV), the socket inode is unchanged
before and after, and no lock is recreated -- it neither cleaned up nor
respawned. To a user that is a crash, not a misconfiguration.

This is reachable in the documented topology, where orca-xvfb.service has no
User= and runs as root while serve runs as User=orca: /tmp is sticky, so the
orca uid cannot unlink a root-owned socket, rmSync fails, and Xvfb exits with
the display already active.

Readiness now requires the display to actually be live -- our socket plus a
lock naming a running process -- so the same state reports an unusable
display and exits 1 with the existing diagnosis.

* fix(linux): recognise abstract X sockets and inherited Wayland fds

Two display setups this gate could not prove were refused outright, and on the
desktop path that is app.exit(1) with no workaround.

An X server may bind only the abstract namespace (`@/tmp/.X11-unix/X0`), which
leaves no filesystem socket to stat. Abstract addresses are kernel-owned and
vanish the moment the owner exits, so an entry in /proc/net/unix is proof of a
live server -- no lock file needed and no stale entry possible. Verified on
Ubuntu 24.04, where 139 such addresses were present.

WAYLAND_SOCKET is an already-connected fd handed over by the compositor, so
there is no path to stat and WAYLAND_DISPLAY may be unset entirely. Its
presence is the display.

Both are consulted only after the filesystem-socket check fails, so no
existing verdict changes.

* fix(linux): never treat Orca's own display number as a foreign endpoint

Recognising a lockless X socket as live is correct for an endpoint published
from elsewhere -- a container bind mount, WSLg -- because an X server writes
its lock beside its socket and both survive a crash. It is wrong for
VIRTUAL_DISPLAY_NUMBER, because Orca's own teardown unlinks the lock before
the socket and so manufactures that exact state.

The managed branch was already strict, but a caller that sets DISPLAY=:99
explicitly takes the foreign path and skipped it, accepting a dead display
left by Orca's own interrupted cleanup. Route the managed number through the
strict probe on both paths.

Found by an adversarial audit of the asymmetry introduced earlier in this
branch; the documented systemd topology is unaffected because its Xvfb writes
a real lock.

* test(linux): assert on CLI output, not the harness's own control lines

run-cli-case.sh echoes `RESULT status=N case=<name>`, and the two cases named
*-skills asserted `expectOutput: 'skills'`. That substring was satisfied by
the case name in the harness's own line, so 2 of 8 cases asserted nothing
about the command -- gutting `skills` entirely would still have gone green.

Control lines are now excluded before matching, and both cases assert the
rendered help header, which only real help output produces. Verified on an
Ubuntu 24.04 host: 8/8 still pass against a stack-tip AppImage.

Also register the gate in reliability-gates.jsonc, which #15085 added a CI
Docker gate without. Red/green is recorded from a stock release AppImage
failing 4 of 8, three of them at status 133 (SIGTRAP).

* fix(linux): require static AppImage runtimes (#17319)

* test(linux): reject a wrong-architecture native binary at packaging time

Cross-building the arm64 slice on an x64 host silently packed an x86-64
`pty.node` -- the rebuild logged "Forcing native rebuild for linux-arm64" and
shipped the host's binary anyway. Every gate here inspects symbol versions,
which are perfectly valid on the wrong architecture, so nothing noticed.

Observed on a Raspberry Pi 5: the packaged app loaded, then failed with
"Failed to load native module: pty.node", and the launch contract reported
3 of 8 cases crashed rather than naming the cause. Swapping in the aarch64
`pty.node` took the same build to 8/8.

Compare ELF `e_machine` against the slice being packaged and fail with the
offending path. Checked before the glibc pass, because a wrong-architecture
binary's symbol versions are valid but meaningless and would send the reader
down the wrong path.

Release CI builds arm64 on a native runner, so this guards local and future
cross-builds rather than a shipped artifact.

* test(linux): judge per-arch vendored binaries against their own path

The first CI run of the architecture gate failed the x64 package job on
`@parcel/watcher-linux-arm64-glibc/watcher.node`. That binary is arm64 on
purpose: the package ships every architecture and its loader picks the match,
so its presence in an x64 build is correct.

Judge a binary against the architecture its own path names, falling back to
the slice when the path names none. That keeps the case this gate exists for
-- `bin/linux-arm64-*/node-pty.node` holding an x86-64 binary, which is what
shipped to a Raspberry Pi 5 -- while letting multi-arch dependencies through.

Dry-run over the real dependency tree flags nothing for either target arch.

A remote host installed from .deb or .rpm now reports
manual-service-update-required, and the guidance told the operator to
"update through the service manager that starts this server" -- which is
correct for unsupported-headless-serve but wrong for a package install,
where nothing about the remedy involves the service manager.

Say both, keyed on how the host was installed.

* docs(linux): use absolute service CLI launcher

* fix(serve): validate in-process serve options before startup (#17683)

* fix(linux): stop offering updates a distro-managed install cannot apply (#17918)

Closes #17702.

The resources/package-type marker is authoritative but never checked against
the host, so any repackager that unpacks Orca's .deb -- AUR, Nix, a container
rebuild -- inherits `deb` verbatim. Install feasibility was then computed
after a ~165 MB download, so those users got check -> download -> a card
promising an install command -> a dead end.

Validate the marker against the host: a deb/rpm marker with no matching
package manager in the trusted directories means a package manager owns this
install. This reuses the exact lists and resolver that
buildLinuxPackageInstallCommand already loops over, so a false positive is
impossible by construction -- any host flagged here would have failed with
no-package-manager after the download anyway. The gate only moves that
verdict earlier. Verified across Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04, Arch, Fedora 40 and
openSUSE Leap: no false positive on a real deb host, correct on every
repackaging host.

The release is still reported, because the user does want to know 1.4.194
exists and to update through their distro; only the download path is closed.
`externallyManaged` is an additive optional field on the existing `available`
status, so older paired clients decode it unchanged. downloadUpdate() refuses
authoritatively, since main owns this verdict rather than the card, and
unwinds any pinned-build state first -- a Linux pinned jump resolves to
'release', and stranding isPinnedBuildActive would silently kill every
background check for the rest of the process.

Note the fix the issue suggests cannot work: electron-updater builds a
PacmanUpdater whose doDownloadUpdate looks for a .pacman asset Orca does not
publish, then dereferences undefined.

Brennan BensonandMerge Sim 585b4086d3 test(codex): pin Codex read-repair with a real-binary contract check (#17300)
* test(codex): pin Codex read-repair with a real-binary contract check

Orca's session index-heal depends on a Codex behavior: a `thread/read` of an
unindexed rollout performs a read-repair that inserts the `threads` row. All 55
existing heal tests drive a stub app-server and assert "healed" as "the call did
not error", so if Codex ever dropped the repair they would all stay green while
the subsystem went silently inert.

Adds a real-binary contract check built to the same shape as the Git binary
compatibility contract (src/shared/git-binary-compatibility.test.ts): env-gated
test file, version asserted against the binary, dedicated path-filtered PR job.

Pins only the four arms ablation established Orca relies on:
  - a read of an unindexed rollout inserts the state row
  - a session with no read inserts nothing (the negative control that makes the
    insert causal rather than incidental)
  - re-reading an indexed thread inserts nothing
  - an archived thread stays archived rather than being resurrected

Written against codex-cli 0.150.1. The job sets ORCA_CODEX_CONTRACT_REQUIRED=1
so a missing or failed CLI install fails red instead of silently skipping.

Existing heal tests are unchanged.

* test(codex): register the contract job in the verify aggregate contract

`pr-workflow-parallelism.test.mjs` pins `verify.needs` exactly, so adding the
job to pr.yml without updating that list failed the shard. Adds the entry, and
adds a workflow contract test mirroring `git-binary-compatibility-workflow.test.mjs`:

  - the pinned CODEX_CLI_VERSION is the single source for both the npm install
    and the runtime version assertion, so the two cannot drift apart
  - the install prefix and the binary path the test is pointed at are the same tree
  - ORCA_CODEX_CONTRACT_REQUIRED=1 is set, so a failed install fails red rather
    than turning the job into a green no-op

Removing the REQUIRED env from pr.yml reddens the new test, confirming it is live.

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): 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

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.

a6e2379bd1 replaced this test with the in-flight settlement race test,

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.
