`defaultTerminalTabsAppliedByWorktreePath` is declared on the wire session
(`src/shared/remote-workspace-types.ts:16`), emitted by the renderer's export
(`remote-workspace-session-projection.ts:101-134`) and read back by its importer
(`:195`) -- but `normalizeRemoteSession` rebuilds the session as an object
literal and never copied it. Measured on a snapshot carrying `{ '/r': true }`:
normalizeSnapshot(...).session.defaultTerminalTabsAppliedByWorktreePath
=> undefined
remoteWorkspaceSessionMatchesSnapshot(withFlag, withoutFlag)
=> true
Two consequences. `getRemoteSnapshot` normalizes everything the relay returns
(`remote-workspace-relay-sync.ts:29`), so a client could never receive the flag
even though the write path sends `session` verbatim. And
`patchRemoteWorkspaceSession` short-circuits on
`remoteWorkspaceSessionMatchesSnapshot` (`:51`), which normalizes both sides --
so a change that only sets this marker was invisible to the dirty check and
could never be written at all.
The marker is the sole guard on `applyDefaultTerminalTabs`
(`worktree-default-terminal-tabs.ts:34`), so losing it re-applies the whole
default-tab template over the user's tabs.
This has never worked in either direction since the field was introduced.
`normalizeRemoteSession` predates `372469b7528` under a different path -- it
lived in `src/main/ipc/remote-workspace.ts` until `15e1ba3f84a` split it out for
max-lines, and at `372469b7528` it already copied all four sibling optional
fields and simply never gained a fifth. No test caught it because that commit
tested the projection round-trip (correct in isolation) while the normalizer sat
in another file with no test of its own.
The new test file closes that gap two ways: a case per consequence, plus a
`Required<RemoteWorkspaceSession>` fixture asserted key-for-key against the
normalizer's output. Because the normalizer is an object literal, the next field
added to the wire type and forgotten there is now a compile error in this test
rather than silent data loss.
Wire compatibility: safe, but not by the plain "new optional field" rule -- this
is an already-declared field that was silently stripped on every read. Both
readers treat it as optional; the relay is not a reader at all
(`src/relay/workspace-session-handler.ts:145-151` stores `patch.session` as an
opaque record and returns it verbatim), so no relay version can strip it. A
half-upgraded pair is one-directional: an old client still drops the key on read
and behaves exactly as today.
Before: 3 failed | 1 passed. After: 4 passed.
