The daemon's only death evidence was `retiredIncarnations`, a 2-second tombstone written in `onSessionExit` from a session the host reaps in the same callback. Two seconds is a window no reopening app can hit, so once main stopped settling a worker from listing absence, a local worker whose shell ended while Orca was closed was never settled: it stayed dispatched on every sweep until `worker-abandon`. Give the daemon the relay's rule instead of a second record of the same fact. `TerminalHost.reapSession` already disposes the exited session's emulator and drops it from `sessions`; it now drops it only when `broadcastExit` reached an attached client. With none attached nobody received the exit, so the emulator-free record stays, and `inspectProcess` hands it over as `verdict: 'exited'` for an exact `expectedIncarnationId` match and deletes it in the same breath. A caller with the wrong incarnation, or none, still gets `SessionNotFoundError`, and a session recreated under the same id replaces the record rather than inheriting it. Every other reader of `sessions` already gates on `isAlive`, so listing, kill, snapshots, sizes and liveness probes are unchanged. The daemon still retires exactly when it did before: `onSessionReaped` fires on exit whether or not the record was dropped. Both daemon-fronting providers were answering `terminal_gone` from their own routing tables for exactly the ids this question is about, and the degraded one dropped `expectedIncarnationId` and `steadyState` entirely. An unclaimed id now routes to the current daemon when — and only when — the caller names a remembered incarnation; a daemon that never held it answers not-found, so routing cannot manufacture an exit, and an ordinary poll still may not borrow a route it never owned. Deletes `retired-pty-incarnations.ts`, its test and the TTL. Refs docs/reference/ssh-execution-boundary.md

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
