* feat(mobile): carry what each page route declared in init (OTA phase C, C2.9) The page decides an in-page hop from `init.pageRoutes`, which says which patterns this shell would render and nothing about what each one costs. So a push kept local on the strength of the pattern alone runs the target under the opener's grants — which is how the tasks page is reached from the wide-layout sidebar without `native.clipboard.write`, and why its copy actions refuse silently. `init` now also carries `pageRouteGrants`, the manifest's own route/grant pairs, from the manifest the shell already holds. Optional in both directions: an older shell omits it and an older page ignores it, and a page that receives none keeps today's rule. No new frame kind, no cap change, no protocol bump. The grammar is the manifest's, imported rather than restated (`MobileWebBundleGrantNameSchema`, now exported for this), so a grant name the bundle could not have declared cannot reach the page through this field either. The host validates the pairs before it builds the frame and refuses the session when they fail, for the reason it already refuses a malformed route: an `init` the page would reject whole is worse than no session at all. Two files were at their line ceiling and are split rather than bumped. The pairs schema moves to `bridge-page-route-grants.ts`, which is read by both the envelope and the host, so it belonged in one place anyway. In the session reducer the three sites that each spelled out "patterns, their grants, this route's grants" become one `routeViewOf`; that is a net reduction and removes the fourth spelling before it is written. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * fix(mobile): keep a hop local only when the session's grants cover it The rule the page was using is "the shell would render this pattern", and that is not the question. Grants are resolved once, from the route the shell opened, so a push kept local runs the target under the opener's list. On a wide layout the sidebar renders beside every `/h` route and pushes `/h/<id>/tasks` through this seam, so from the worktree list, agent history or the files pages the tasks page ran without `native.clipboard.write` and its copy actions refused with nothing on screen to say why. `servedHere` now means served here *and* covered: the target's declared grants must be a subset of this session's. An uncovered page route is handed to the shell exactly like a non-page route, and the shell opens it as its own session with its own grants — which is the mechanism that already exists, rather than a new one. Three answers, not two, because an absent field is not an empty one. A shell that sent no pairs keeps the old behaviour: `null` is "nobody told me", and an older shell has to keep working. A target the shell lists but names no entry for is *not* covered — the page cannot justify that hop, so it hands it over rather than guessing in the direction that loses grants. This is C3.1's explorer ⊇ preview finding without its pairwise pin: that hop is covered by this rule and stays local, and the rule scales to the sidebar, which reaches every route and which no pairwise list can keep up with. Red first on the two cases only the new rule answers; the other four are the regression guards and passed before and after. Two whole-session assertions gained `pageRouteGrants: null`, which is what the reader now returns. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): prove the sidebar hop in a browser, under the session's own grants The unit tests pin the decision; only a browser shows the control exists, is reachable at the viewport where the sidebar renders, and that the document does not move when the hop is handed over. Four cases on the shared harness, which now forwards `pageRouteGrants` (omitted when a caller names none, because an absent field is not an empty one and the page reads the difference). - Wide, session without `native.clipboard.write`: tapping Tasks posts exactly one `navigate` notify, the document stays on the worktree list, and **no new chunk is fetched** — which is what says the page did not quietly render tasks under the wrong grants. - Wide, same tap with the grant added: no notify, the document moves to `/tasks`. Without this the first case would pass on a page that simply never navigates. - Wide, shell sending no pairs at all: the old behaviour, local. An older shell must not start handing every hop over on a field nobody sent. - Narrow: asserts the absence rather than a tap. `app/h/_layout.tsx` renders the sidebar only on a wide layout, and only that header branch labels its Accounts and Tasks controls; the narrow header's are unlabelled pressables. So the hop does not exist at that viewport, and `getByLabel('Tasks')` finding nothing is the honest assertion. That unlabelled narrow header is a real accessibility gap and is not this lane's to fix. Registered in `pr.yml`'s `mobile_web_app` job beside the other render checks. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): census the in-page hops a session's grants cannot cover The rule landed in the commit before this one decides each hop; this says which hops those are, so a route's grants growing — or a new push between two page routes — shows up here rather than as a verb that silently refuses on a device. Openers are every page route, not the one that happens to push. On a wide layout `app/h/_layout.tsx` renders the worktree-list sidebar beside every `/h` route and its header pushes tasks, which is exactly why a pairwise pin is the wrong shape: the sidebar reaches everything, so the census has to be the cross product of what the manifest declares against what the source actually builds. Targets come from the hrefs the app builds, read out of `mobile/src` and `mobile/app` and reduced to route patterns, so a hop nobody writes is not pinned and a hop someone adds is. A presence case asserts the sidebar's tasks push is among them, because a census that stopped finding hops would go quietly green. Two hops are pinned as handed off today, both into tasks, which is the only route declaring more than `navigate` and `storage`. A third case asserts the other half of the rule on the manifest: a target asking for no more than its opener stays in the document. Checked that it discriminates rather than assuming: widening the worktree list's grants to cover tasks fails the pin, and restoring them passes it. **No pin was deleted.** The brief expected C3.1's pairwise explorer/preview pin to be replaced here, but C3.1 is not on this base — `MOBILE_WEB_PAGE_ROUTES` has three routes and no `files` entry, so there is nothing to remove. When C3.1 lands, its pin is this census's to subsume. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * fix(mobile): drop an unused import from the hop census `statSync` was imported and never used; `oxlint` fails it. My error: I committed the census on a green test run without waiting for lint, the same order mistake I made earlier in this lane. Fixed forward rather than amended, because the lane forbids rewriting a commit that exists. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): fold C3.1's pairwise grant pin into the hop census C3.1 landed while this branch was open, and it brought the case this lane generalises: the explorer pushes to its own preview, that push stays in the document, so the preview runs under the explorer's grants. Its pin asserted that one pair by name. The census now covers it as a consequence rather than a rule. With the files routes in the manifest the cross product finds six more hops the session cannot cover — the sidebar into files from the worktree list and from agent history, and both files routes into tasks — and it does **not** find explorer → preview, because the preview declares no more than the explorer. That absence is the pairwise pin, derived. So the pairwise block is deleted, with its import. The rest of that file stays: its external-link seam checks and its clipboard-absence control are about what the files closure contains, which this census says nothing about. Checked the extended census still discriminates: granting the explorer `native.clipboard.write` fails the pin, restoring it passes. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): prove the sidebar hop from a files route, not only the worktree list The defect is not "the worktree list pushes tasks". On a wide layout the sidebar renders beside every `/h` route, so the same hop exists from the files explorer, whose session carries `externalLink` but not `native.clipboard.write`. One opener proving the rule would have left the general case to inference, which is the inference C3.1's pairwise pin already made once. Opened on `/h/<id>/files/<wt>` with the files route's own grants, the sidebar's Tasks control posts exactly one `navigate` notify, the document stays on the files route, and no new chunk is fetched. The harness helper now takes the route and the text to wait for, so a case can open on something other than the worktree list without a second copy of it. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * fix(mobile): make the render helper wait on the text its caller named The `awaitText` parameter I added in the commit before this one was never wired into the wait, so it was dead and `oxlint` failed it. The case still passed, because the files route renders the host name in its sidebar and that is what the helper was still waiting on — which is exactly the kind of accident a dead parameter hides. Third time in this lane I have committed on a green test run before lint finished. Fixed forward, not amended. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * fix(mobile): carry route grants through the download path `onManifestRead`'s download branch set `pageRoutes` and `routeGrants` from the new manifest and dropped `pageRouteGrants`; nothing downstream recomputes it, so every first install and every OTA update reached `ready` with the default or the previous generation's pairs. The page then read each target as listed-with-no- entry and handed off every in-page hop. `routeViewOf` moves to `page-route-policy.ts`, beside the two functions it calls, to keep the reducer under its line cap without a bump; its stale neighbouring comment, which described a filter that moved into it, goes. Red first: the cold-cache and generation-change cases failed, the cached-hit case already passed. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): derive census targets from navigation call sites The reachability filter was inert. Harvesting every `/h/${…}` template caught the five screens that declare their own mount pathname, two `pathname ===` comparisons and the route template types, so every declared route was reachable through its own mount: the pinned table was the all-pairs one, eight hops with the filter and eight without. Targets now come from the arguments of `router`/`navigation` `push`, `replace` and `navigate`, and of `navigateFromHostList`; mounts, comparisons and types are excluded by construction because they are not navigation arguments. Two real hops are not written as a literal, so a local binding or a call is followed one step to the function that returns the pathname: the files explorer is pushed as `{ pathname: descriptor.pathname }` and the preview as `push(createMobileFilePreviewHref(...))`. A call site whose target cannot be read is returned rather than dropped. Derived patterns go from 11 to 10; the pinned table stays at eight because all five page routes are genuinely pushed to. What changes is that the filter now discriminates: deleting the header's two tasks pushes reds the presence case and drops the four `-> tasks` rows from the pin, where the old derivation stayed green on the same deletion because `app/h/[hostId]/tasks.tsx` still declared the pathname. A push added at a real call site appears in the set. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): restore the preview-declares-something guard The pairwise pin this case replaced asserted the preview declares at least one grant before asserting the explorer covers them all; without it two empty lists satisfy the subset check and a route that lost its grants passes. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * docs(mobile): describe the route list under the handoff rule Two passages described the world before this PR: the explorer's note said the census pins its pair with the preview, and a closing paragraph left the sidebar's tasks hop open for a later PR. This is that PR. Covering the preview now buys the in-document hop rather than making it correct, an uncovered target is handed to the shell and reopened under its own grants, and the census reads the explorer to preview relation off this list rather than pinning it by name. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): mirror the manifest's tasks grants in both fixtures CodeRabbit on #21723: both fixtures declared the tasks route as `navigate`, `storage`, `native.clipboard.write` while the manifest also declares `externalLink`, so no covered-session case ever required it. Both now mirror the manifest's four, and the covered sessions hold them. That alone does not make an `externalLink`-blind rule fail, since those sessions hold every grant either way, so the unit suite gains the case that does: a session holding the clipboard but not `externalLink` must still hand the hop off. Mutating the rule to treat `externalLink` as always held reds that one case and no other. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): make a stalled hop name its own cause Both waits for the hop to land read as a bare 30 s timeout when it does not. The CI failure that sent this file back was a `TypeError` inside React Navigation that blanked the document, and it was invisible here because the error assertions run after a wait that never returns. The wait now throws with the page's own account: the pathname it stayed on, the collected page and console errors, the `navigate` notifies posted, the first 300 characters of the body, and every `.js` response since the click with its status. The response listener records every script answer rather than only the 200s, so a chunk the navigation waits on can be seen failing; the 200-only list the no-new-chunk assertions read is unchanged, as is everything the five cases assert. Kept in this file because no other render file waits on the pathname moving. Proved by mutating the rule to hand every hop off: the covered case fails naming the pathname it stayed on, an empty error list, the notify it posted and no scripts since the click — which is the handoff signature, distinct from the crash signature CI saw. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): aim the narrow hop at the control C2.10 named The narrow case asserted the absence of a labelled Tasks control, which was true only because the narrow toolbar carried no accessibility props. C2.10 gave it the wide sibling's role and label, so the assertion was red on the merge and, worse, the rule this file is about went unproven on the branch the phone actually presses. It taps that control now: at 390 px there is exactly one, and the tap posts exactly one navigate notify for the tasks route while the document stays on the worktree list and fetches no new chunk. Red first against the merged header (count 1, expected 0); with the session given native.clipboard.write the hop goes local and the case reds, which is what says the assertions discriminate. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * docs(mobile): drop the handoff predicate's contradicted one-liner The pre-C2.9 summary said the answer is whether this document renders the target, which is exactly the claim the block comment below it replaced: the predicate now also requires the target's grants to be covered. Two doc comments on one declaration, the first of them wrong. Comment only; the 35 handoff cases are unchanged and green. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): assert which field a route refusal blames The host builds `pageRouteGrants: <issue>` so a refusal says which of the two checked inputs failed, and nothing read it: the case counted refusals, so a host that reported the route's own verdict for a malformed pair would have stayed green while sending whoever reads the refusal to a pathname that was never the problem. The case pins the prefix, a non-empty issue behind it, and that the diagnostic and the callback carry the same string. The control is an opener that fails the other way: a malformed route reports its own issue and does not take this prefix, without which the pin would hold on any reason at all. Red first with the field branch dropped from the reason: the prefix assertion fails and the control stays green. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * refactor(mobile): stop exporting the route filter the reducer stopped calling `implementedPageRouteEntries` and `implementedPageRoutes` were the reducer's two ways in before it moved to `routeViewOf`. The entries form had no caller anywhere afterwards and the patterns form had only this test, so the module's public surface advertised two functions no product code reaches. Both are module-local now; the surface is `matchesRoutePattern`, `pageRendersRoute`, `grantsForRoute`, `routeViewOf` and the grant list. The test reads the same list through `routeViewOf(...).pageRoutes`, which is the reducer's own view of it, so no assertion changed and no export is kept for a test. Red first: with both un-exported and the test untouched, seven cases fail with `implementedPageRoutes is not a function`; routed through the view all nineteen pass. Still discriminating, as a control: with the grant filter dropped from the entries helper, four of them fail. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): route the merged haptics cases through the policy view PR E's two haptics cases arrived with the merge calling `implementedPageRoutes`, which this branch had already made module-local, so the merged file was red with `implementedPageRoutes is not defined` on both of them. They read the same list through `pageRoutesOf`, the view the rest of the file already uses, so neither assertion changes. PR E's paragraph named that function for the filter it describes; the filter now sits in the entries helper the view is built on, so the sentence says that instead of naming a function the reader cannot see. Red: the two cases above on the merge. Green: all 21, PR E's two included. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(mobile): mirror the haptics token in every handoff fixture PR E put `haptics` on all five manifest routes, and these fixtures still carried the pre-E grant lists: tasks with four grants where the manifest now declares five. A fixture that is short the same token on both sides of the subset check agrees with the rule by accident, and would have gone on agreeing after the token stopped being universal. The pairs mirror the manifest now, and each session carries what its opener route would actually be granted, since the host narrows a route's declared grants to what the shell implements and the shell implements the token. Red first, with the token added to the pairs alone: the two covered-hop cases flip to handed-off, `stays in this document when the session already covers the target` and `keeps the hop in the document when the session covers tasks`. Green once the sessions carry it, 35 and 5. The hop census needed nothing: it reads `MOBILE_WEB_PAGE_ROUTES` itself. Measured there, all 5 routes declare the token and it is the missing grant in 0 of the 8 uncovered pairs, so it cannot decide a hop and the rule still reads only `pageRouteGrants`. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01JNnE9qzUZMMnqpZWCqM3nb * test(config): count C2.9's two bridge modules in the session route closure #21908 recorded this pin at 4,324 for the haptics notify module. C2.9 adds two more that the same closure reaches: the page-route-grants schema and the manifest contract whose grant grammar it imports rather than restates, both pulled in by `bridge-envelope.ts`, which the page reads to parse `init`. Named in the docstring beside #21908's sentence rather than folded into its number, because the three modules arrived from two PRs and a single count with one reason invites the next author to assume the rest. Red first against 4,324: expected 4,326. Measured on this head, not inferred -- a control worktree at pristine main gives 4,324, so the two are this branch's.

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.
