* fix(mobile): encode the host id in the tasks workspace-creation href (OTA phase C, C2.1)
`use-mobile-tasks-workspace-create-actions.tsx` built
`/h/${hostId}/session/...` with the host id interpolated raw — the C1.2 class.
A host id carrying `/`, `#`, `?` or whitespace reaches the wire as an href
`BRIDGE_ROUTE_HREF_PATTERN` refuses, the handoff falls through to the local
router, and expo-router's Unmatched paints over the page.
Deleted rather than patched: `hostNewWorktreeSessionRoute` already builds
this exact href with both segments encoded, and already has the test that
pins it. The screen now calls it.
The census that caught it stays: no module under `src/tasks` may interpolate
into `/h/${...}` without encoding, which is the rule rather than this one
line. Three refactor-parity hashes move with the statement change and are
recorded in that file the way every earlier movement is.

* feat(mobile): route the tasks tree's external links through the seam (OTA phase C, C2.1)
Ten of the twelve call sites in the tasks page closure: the nine under
`src/tasks`, swapped by one export in the dependency barrel, and
`MobileMarkdown.tsx`, which imports react-native directly and is edited in
place.
Inside the shell's WebView react-native-web's `openURL` calls
`window.open(url, '_blank')`, which both shells refuse — iOS returns nil from
`createWebViewWith`, Android false from `onCreateWindow` — and resolves
regardless. Every one of these sites would have reported success into a tap
that opened nothing.
The barrel's `Linking` is typed `{ openURL: (url: string) => void }`, so a
`.catch` on it is a compile error rather than a handler for a rejection that
cannot arrive; the seam names its own failures. `MobileMarkdown`'s own
`.catch(() => {})` goes with the swap for the same reason.
No parity hash moved: the barrel and `MobileMarkdown` are outside the
refactor-parity family's source set.

* feat(mobile): route the shared screens' external links through the seam, with a census (OTA phase C, C2.1)
The last two of the twelve call sites in the tasks page closure:
`ProtocolBlockScreen.tsx` and the `openExternalUrl` prop wiring at
`host-screen-overlays.tsx`.
Both are shared with native routes and with the already-live `/h/[hostId]`
page, so this changes that page too: its external links go from the measured
`window.open` no-op — which both shells refuse and which resolves anyway — to
a URL handed to the shell. Nothing changes on a phone, where the seam is
`Linking.openURL` unchanged.
The `openExternalUrl` prop chain is retyped `(url: string) => void` with it,
and `SmartWorkspaceSourceField`'s `.catch(() => {})` goes: the seam names its
own failures and never rejects, so that was a handler for a rejection that
cannot arrive.
The census is the rule rather than today's twelve sites: no module in the
tasks page closure may reach react-native's `Linking`, by name or through a
namespace import. It reads the closure from a new builder export —
`metafile.inputs` for `_layout` plus the route, which is one definition of
what a page contains — and checks which module the name comes from, not which
text a call site writes, since the tasks tree still calls `Linking.openURL`
and that `Linking` is now the barrel's seam-backed export. Confirmed to
discriminate: restoring one react-native import turns it red.
A second case pins that the seam is in the closure, so an empty offender list
cannot also mean a page that reaches no link code at all.

* feat(mobile): write the tasks clipboard through the shell's verb (OTA phase C, C2.1)
The two `Clipboard.setStringAsync` sites in the tasks page closure move onto
a seam, `src/platform/clipboard.ts` with a `.web.ts` sibling, registered in
the overrides.
A hook rather than a function because the web form needs the page's bridge
client, which is React context. Native is `expo-clipboard` unchanged. Web
calls `native.clipboard.write` through `useNativeVerbs`, because
`expo-clipboard` on the web is `navigator.clipboard` and needs a secure
context: the iOS shell serves the page from a custom scheme and Android from
`https`, so that path would work on one platform and silently not on the
other, with nothing at the call site able to tell.
Both seams reject rather than return false, and both call sites already wrap
the write in a `catch` that puts the message on screen — so a write that did
not land says so instead of showing "Copied". A route that has not declared
`native.clipboard.write` is refused before a frame is sent and lands in that
same `catch`; the route declares it in the entry commit.
Two parity hashes move, the hook list and the statement hash, each by one
entry, and are recorded in that file. `semantics` holds, as do render and
style: no RPC call, method literal or JSX host signature changed.

* feat(mobile): hand the tasks Back button to the shell (OTA phase C, C2.1)
The tasks header's `router.back()` reached expo-router through the dependency
barrel, and inside the page that moves nothing: the document holds the single
history entry the entry wrote with `replaceState`. The stack with somewhere
to go is the native one the shell pushed the page onto.
One line in the barrel, as with `Linking`: `useRouteHandoff` is router-shaped,
so every call site is unchanged. On a phone it is expo-router. Inside the page
it keeps a route the page renders and posts `navigate-back` for a Back the
document cannot serve — the C2.2 seam, which until now had no consumer.
No parity hash moved: the barrel is outside the refactor-parity source set,
and no call site changed.

* feat(mobile): render mermaid as its own source box on the web (OTA phase C, C2.5)
`MermaidDiagram` is in the tasks page closure, reached through
`MobileMarkdown`, and it renders the diagram inside a sandboxed `WebView`.
`react-native-webview` is a native component with no browser counterpart:
importing it runs a codegen lookup that throws, and the route manifest imports
every route, so one such import takes the whole page down rather than one
diagram.
The web sibling renders the labelled source box the native component already
falls back to on a parse or render error, with that component's own styles, so
the degradation looks like a state the product already has rather than a
second design.
Not a browser renderer, and the reason is not reach: mermaid is a browser
library and the engine bundle is vendored. It is that the native path's safety
comes from the WebView it runs in — `buildHtml` escapes `</script>` and the
U+2028/U+2029 separators because diagram source is untrusted agent and PR
content — and a DOM path has no such sandbox, so it needs its own escaping and
its own proof. That is a change of its own, not a smaller version of this one.
Registered in the overrides, whose gate fails on an unlisted `.web.*` file.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb
* feat(mobile): turn the tasks route on for the page (OTA phase C, C2.1)
The entry: `/h/[hostId]/tasks` joins `MOBILE_WEB_PAGE_ROUTES`, the route file
becomes the shell's flag switch in `index.tsx`'s shape, and a `.web.tsx`
sibling renders the screen directly, registered in the overrides.
The screen moves to `src/tasks/MobileTasksScreen.tsx` first, verbatim — body
byte-identical, imports rewritten to `./`. It has to: under the builder's
`resolveExtensions` a web sibling importing `./tasks` resolves back to
itself, which is why every other shell route's screen already lives in `src`.
The parity family follows the file rather than the path. `TASKS_ROUTE` leaves
`MOBILE_TASKS_SOURCE_FILES` — `SOURCE_PATTERN` already matches
`MobileTasks*.tsx`, so listing it too would double-count — and the execution
reader points at the new file. Measured rather than predicted: all six
refactor-parity cases pass unchanged. No hash moved, including the family
text and declaration list, because the new name sorts where the route path
sat.
The route declares `navigate`, `storage`, `externalLink` and
`native.clipboard.write`, which the grammar fold made expressible and
per-route scoping makes meaningful: it is granted those and not the rest of
what this shell implements.
The browser check covers what only a browser answers — every module in the
closure evaluating under React Native Web, `taskSource` surviving the
handshake into the page's own URL, and the route's chunk arriving on a
client-side navigation. It states plainly what it does not cover: the three
seams are reached from controls that need provider data the double does not
serve, so a case posting those frames directly would prove the transport and
read as a tap it never performed. Both new checks join the `mobile_web_app`
job.

* fix(config): resolve a route closure the way the bundle ships it (OTA phase C, C2.1)
`mobileWebAppRouteClosure` took the route's explicit `.tsx` path as an entry
point, so esbuild used that file directly and `resolveExtensions` never ran.
For a route with a `.web.tsx` sibling that measured the native switch, which
no browser loads: the tasks closure came back carrying
`MobileWebShellScreen`, and with it a `Linking` import the census then
reported as an offender.
Extensionless now, so the closure is the one the page actually contains:
3775 modules, 428 local, with `external-link.web.ts` and `clipboard.web.ts`
in it and the shell screen out.
The route-manifest pins move with the tasks route joining
`MOBILE_WEB_PAGE_ROUTES`, in both the declaration check and the built
manifest.

* fix(mobile): cover the clipboard seam, close two page escapes, share the mermaid props (OTA phase C, C2.1)
Four from round 1.
The clipboard seam shipped untested. Both halves have one now: the native
form rejects when `setStringAsync` answers false and resolves when it does
not, and the web form is driven through the real port pair — resolving on a
reply, rejecting when the shell says the pasteboard refused, and rejecting on
an ungranted route without putting a frame on the wire.
The tasks barrel still re-exported `expo-clipboard` with no consumer, which
kept `ExpoClipboard.web.js` — the `navigator.clipboard` path this series
exists to avoid — inside the page closure. Deleted, and asserted as the
module's absence from that closure rather than as a count of importers: a new
import puts the file back whoever writes it.
`ProtocolBlockScreen` reached expo-router's singleton for its way out to the
host list. A singleton is the one shape the handoff cannot intercept — it is
not a hook, so the page's bridge client is never consulted — and `/` is a
route the page does not carry, so inside the shell that replace rendered the
root route in the WebView instead of leaving it. Pre-existing and live via
`/h/[hostId]`; routed through the handoff now. Two suites' `expo-router`
mocks gain the hook the handoff reads.
`MermaidDiagram.web.tsx` redeclared its props; it imports the native
component's type, so drift fails tsc.
No parity hash moved: none of these files is in the refactor-parity source
set.

* style(config): use endsWith for the clipboard module check
The changed-code gate refuses a dollar-anchored regex where `String#endsWith`
says the same thing. No behaviour change.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb
* fix(mobile): close the href census gap, read route params through firstParam (OTA phase C, C2.1)
Five from round 2, two of them real.
The raw-interpolation census inspected only the leading `${...}`, so
`` `/h/${encodeURIComponent(hostId)}/session/${worktreeId}` `` passed it — and
a worktree id carrying `/`, `#`, `?` or whitespace breaks the href exactly as
a host id does. It now refuses any hand-built `/h/...` template with any
interpolation left raw, whichever segment it is. Proved against exactly that
shape in a throwaway before the change, which the old rule admitted.
The tasks switch read `hostId` and `taskSource` as plain strings. expo-router
hands back an array for a repeated query key, so a duplicate `?hostId=` built
`/h/host-a%2Chost-b/tasks`; both go through `firstParam` now, as the
agent-history switch does. `index.tsx` is untouched, per the Phase D list.
Three in the render check's prose: the header claimed the browser proves the
three seams fire from a tap, which the file's own closing note denies; a
module count repeated a number the closure test already pins; and a `replies`
parameter was threaded through without ever being supplied.

Orca Mobile
React Native companion app for Orca. Monitor worktrees, view terminal output, and send commands from your phone.
Local development uses two processes:
- Orca desktop/Electron from the repo root. This hosts the mobile WebSocket RPC server on port
6768. - Expo Metro from
mobile/. This serves the React Native app on port8081.
Unless a command says otherwise, run mobile app commands from the mobile/ directory.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 24+
- pnpm
- Xcode and/or Android Studio tooling for simulator or device builds
- Expo Go on your phone, or a development client build when native modules are needed
- Phone and desktop on the same LAN when testing a physical phone
Start Desktop Orca
From the repository root:
pnpm install
pnpm dev
Confirm the mobile RPC server is listening:
lsof -nP -iTCP:6768 -sTCP:LISTEN
Restart pnpm dev after changing Electron main-process code. Metro hot reload only applies to the mobile JavaScript bundle.
Start The Mobile App
cd mobile
pnpm install
pnpm start
Scan the Expo QR code with your phone's camera on iOS, or Expo Go on Android.
For a native dev-client build:
pnpm exec expo run:android
pnpm exec expo run:ios
pnpm start --dev-client
Pair With Desktop Orca
- Open Orca desktop.
- Go to Settings > Mobile.
- Scan the pairing QR code from the mobile app.
- Confirm the mobile host endpoint is
ws://<desktop-ip>:6768.
For the Android emulator, use ws://10.0.2.2:6768. For a physical phone, use the desktop LAN IP, for example ws://192.168.0.179:6768.
If the phone has a stale host entry, remove it from the app and pair again.
Development Paths
Android Phone
- Install Expo Go from Google Play
- Run
pnpm start, scan QR with Expo Go - For native modules:
pnpm exec expo run:android - Run with
pnpm start --dev-client
iOS Simulator
- Install Xcode from the App Store
- Run
pnpm start --iosto open in iOS Simulator
Physical Phone Debugging
The phone can be inspected through the connected device tooling:
orca snapshot --json
orca click --element @e3 --json
orca fill --element @e1 --value "ls" --json
orca screenshot --json
Use snapshot first to find the current element refs, then click/fill those refs. After mobile file edits, Metro usually hot reloads automatically, but navigating out of and back into the session screen can be useful because it re-runs terminal.subscribe.
Terminal Streaming Repro Without A Phone
Use this when terminal output does not render on device and you need to split server streaming bugs from WebView/UI bugs:
cd mobile
ORCA_MOBILE_WS_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:6768 pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64>
You can pass a worktree selector as the third argument:
pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "id:<worktreeId>"
pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "path:/absolute/worktree/path"
pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "name:my-worktree"
The expected result includes:
streamSawMarker: true
readSawMarker: true
If this repro fails, debug the desktop runtime/PTY path before the mobile WebView. If it passes but the phone is blank, debug the session screen or TerminalWebView readiness/queueing path.
Terminal Color Repro Without A Phone
Use this when terminal colors disappear after switching tabs. Open a Claude Code terminal and at least one other terminal in the target worktree, then run:
cd mobile
ORCA_MOBILE_WS_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:6768 pnpm exec tsx scripts/repro-terminal-colors.ts \
<deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "id:<worktreeId>"
The script captures terminal.subscribe snapshots in an A → B → A sequence and writes raw snapshots to mobile/terminal-color-repro/. If the two A snapshots have different sgrColor counts, the desktop snapshot changed during the switch. If they match, the ANSI color data is still present and the bug is in mobile replay/rendering.
Validation
Run these checks before committing mobile terminal changes:
cd mobile
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit
pnpm run check:tests-typecheck
pnpm lint
cd ..
pnpm typecheck:node
tsc --noEmit reads tsconfig.json, which excludes test files so Metro never bundles them.
tsconfig.test.json puts them back, and pnpm run typecheck:tests shows their errors in full.
check:tests-typecheck is the gate over it: a ratchet against tests-typecheck-baseline.txt, the
127 test files that do not typecheck yet. It fails when a file that checks today stops checking,
and when a baseline entry starts checking (prune it with
node scripts/check-tests-typecheck-ratchet.mjs --prune). The list may only shrink.
The same gate censuses the program first: every *.test.ts(x) on disk must be in it, or named in
the script's TESTS_OUTSIDE_PROGRAM with a reason. Without that, a test excluded from
tsconfig.test.json — or a Foo.test.tsx shadowed by a Foo.test.ts beside it, which a wildcard
include drops for the higher-priority extension — would leave the ratchet silently.
Protocol Version Compatibility
Mobile and desktop talk over a versioned protocol. Because mobile updates lag desktop by 24-48h via the App Store, both sides exchange version numbers on status.get so a genuinely incompatible combo can hard-block instead of silently misbehaving.
Constants live in two files (Metro can't resolve outside mobile/):
src/shared/protocol-version.ts—DESKTOP_PROTOCOL_VERSION,MIN_COMPATIBLE_MOBILE_VERSIONmobile/src/transport/protocol-version.ts—MOBILE_PROTOCOL_VERSION,MIN_COMPATIBLE_DESKTOP_VERSION
Today all four are set so evaluateCompat always returns { kind: 'ok' } — nothing blocks. The wire format is in place to flip a switch when needed.
When to bump
Bump DESKTOP_PROTOCOL_VERSION (and the mobile mirror MOBILE_PROTOCOL_VERSION when relevant) for breaking changes:
- Removed RPC method or required parameter that mobile uses
- Changed meaning (units, nullability) of an existing field mobile reads
- Changed encryption, framing, or auth handshake
Do not bump for additive changes:
- New RPC methods
- New optional fields on existing methods
- New event types in
terminal.subscribe
Set MIN_COMPATIBLE_MOBILE_VERSION (kill-switch) when desktop ships a change that requires a minimum mobile version to function safely. Same for MIN_COMPATIBLE_DESKTOP_VERSION from the mobile side.
When a verdict is blocked, mobile/src/components/ProtocolBlockScreen.tsx renders a screen pointing the user at either the App Store (mobile too old) or GitHub Releases (desktop too old).
To exercise the block screen locally: set MIN_COMPATIBLE_DESKTOP_VERSION = 999 in mobile/src/transport/protocol-version.ts, rebuild, pair to any desktop. Revert before merging.
Mock Server
Develop the mobile app without a running Orca desktop instance:
pnpm mock-server # starts mock WebSocket server on port 6768
Connect from the app using endpoint ws://localhost:6768 and token mock-device-token.
Environment variables
MOCK_NATIVE_CHAT=1— serve the native-chat scenario (one live agent tab, empty transcript, image upload) instead of the default terminal fixtures.MOCK_CHAT_AGENT=omp— withMOCK_NATIVE_CHAT=1, present an OMP tab and four decoded transcript messages, including a tool call and result, instead of the default Claude scenario. It deliberately omitstranscriptPathto exercise legacy-hook readability discovery; current OMP hooks may report a path.MOCK_SERVER_KEY_FILE— persist the server keypair across restarts so a paired device keeps its public-key pin. A missing or invalid file is re-keyed with a warning, which forces a re-pair.
Scenario control files
Read on every request, so behaviour can be flipped mid-session without a restart (a restart would re-key E2EE and force a re-pair). Write the mode into the file, or delete it for the default.
MOCK_SEND_MODE_FILE(defaultorca-mock-send-modein the system temporary directory) —accept(default) accepts the send,errorfails it withmobile_input_floor_unavailable, anything else reports the send as rejected.MOCK_TERMINAL_LIST_MODE_FILE(defaultorca-mock-terminal-list-modein the system temporary directory) —omitreturns an empty terminal list,otherreturns a list that omits the chat handle, anything else lists it.MOCK_TERMINAL_STREAM_MODE_FILE(defaultorca-mock-terminal-stream-modein the system temporary directory) —deadanswers a subscribe withsubscribedthenend(a gone PTY), which is what exercises the rearm bound and terminal prune; anything else streams normally.
Connecting to Real Orca
- Start Orca desktop with WebSocket transport enabled
- In Orca, go to Settings > Mobile and scan the QR code with this app
- The QR encodes the connection endpoint, device token, and TLS fingerprint
