* Detect agents in the serve user's package-manager bins; don't pin empty remote-detect results Two defects prevent the desktop client from detecting agents installed on a remote `orca serve`: D1 (src/relay/relay-command-env.ts): the relay probes agents with a login shell (`/bin/sh -lc`), which sources ~/.profile but not the interactive ~/.bashrc that real PTY sessions source. Per-user package-manager bins added to PATH only in ~/.bashrc are therefore invisible to detection. Resolve the serve user's package-manager bins from $HOME (.local/bin, .npm-global/bin, .cargo/bin, .bun/bin, go/bin, .deno/bin, .local/share/pnpm), honor npm_config_prefix, append to the POSIX fallback set, dedupe against inherited PATH; win32 unchanged. D2 (src/renderer/src/store/slices/detected-agents.ts): an empty detection result ([], truthy in JS) was pinned by the `if (existing)` short-circuit, so detection never retried after the server env was fixed. Changed to `if (existing?.length)`; in-flight dedup still prevents re-detect storms; failures stay uncached. No new transport, no PowerShell/bash bridge. D1 and D2 are independent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Also patch the runtime (orca serve) detection path against the empty-pin bug The D2 fix guarded only ensureRemoteDetectedAgents (the SSH path). The desktop client's headline scenario — pairing to a remote `orca serve` — routes through ensureRuntimeDetectedAgents (kind: 'runtime'), which had the identical bug: an empty detection result ([], truthy in JS) was pinned by the `if (existing)` short-circuit, so a later install / PATH fix was never picked up without a reconnect. Change the runtime guard to `if (existing?.length)`, mirroring the remote path. In-flight dedup still collapses concurrent re-detects; failed requests stay uncached. Add a runtime regression test proving detection re-runs after an empty result (fails on the pre-fix guard). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * Honor package-manager relocation env vars in relay PATH detection Extend the existing npm_config_prefix precedence to cargo, bun, deno, go, and pnpm so relocated installs (CARGO_HOME, BUN_INSTALL, DENO_INSTALL, GOBIN/GOPATH, PNPM_HOME/XDG_DATA_HOME) are detected, falling back to the $HOME defaults. Mirrors the remote-node probe's NVM_DIR handling (#6037).
