* feat(native-chat): notify on every settled structured turn
A structured chat that finished while you were elsewhere lit the sidebar
but never raised an OS notification, and a notification that did arrive
for one could not open the chat it came from.
Unread and delivery now come out of the single resolveAgentAttention
decision the terminal lane already uses: the structured dispatcher calls
applyAgentAttention instead of applyAgentAttentionUnread, so the same
policy that decides what to light also decides what to deliver, through
the same sound and blocked-permission tail.
Every settled turn notifies, as the CLI lane does. Success says
"finished"; failure and cancellation say "stopped" through the shipped
agentInterrupted flag rather than a second vocabulary. A turn whose
outcome the host never stated stays unknown and lights nothing.
The host now dedupes mobile fan-out by event identity (scope, session,
turn) beside the existing per-workspace burst cooldown, so a completion
two windows both saw reaches the phone once while each window still
decides its own banner. Clicking a structured notification reveals the
chat tab: its pane key's leaf is synthetic, so focusTerminal would hunt
a split-layout leaf that does not exist.
* fix(notifications): spend each mobile gate only when it actually notifies
Two review findings on the structured-chat notification lane, both real.
The mobile event gate consumed its reservation before the per-workspace
burst cooldown ran. Two chats in one workspace share that cooldown key,
so the second chat's completion could burn its event key and then lose
the cooldown to the first chat — never announced, yet permanently marked
as announced, so a later window dispatching it could no longer reach the
phone. The gate now peeks first and records the event at dispatch, which
also keeps a known duplicate from burning the cooldown slot.
A notification id is minted from the status row's stateStartedAt, and the
row re-projects that field as the turn settles: the working episode's
start moves into stateHistory and the settled start takes its place. A
banner raised in the window before that re-projection therefore carried
an id acknowledgement never rebuilt, leaving it on screen for good.
Acknowledgement now collects ids for the row's left episodes too — the
same episodes the unread check beside it already scanned, so the two
halves finally read the same turns. Lane-neutral: the terminal lane
mints its ids the same way and had the same gap.
* fix(notifications): drop the mobile event gate and reveal chats in folder workspaces
The per-event mobile dedupe defended against one completion being
dispatched by several Orca windows. Only one renderer mounts the
structured attention bridge, the completion feed is live-only with no
replay, and any in-process duplicate lands inside the existing 5s
per-workspace burst cooldown, which already collapses mobile and
desktop alike. The gate never acted on a real sequence, so the wire
field, the shared ledger and its tests go; mobile delivery is back to
main's behavior.
A folder workspace id ("folder:<id>") has no "repoId::" prefix, so the
click binding was skipped and clicking a chat notification there did
nothing. The chat route selects its workspace itself through
ui:focusEditorTab, so it now binds without a repoId; the terminal
route is unchanged.
* fix(notifications): retire the banner ids actually dispatched, not ids rebuilt from a moved row
A banner's id is minted from the status row's stateStartedAt at dispatch, and that field moves
afterwards: a completion can outrun the settled re-projection, and a settled structured row is
re-stamped with no history entry by any later journal row (a cancel appends a status note after
the turn settles). Rebuilding ids from the row's episodes at acknowledgement missed the second
case and fanned out up to 21 mobile dismissals per pane for ids never raised.
The shared delivery tail now records each dispatched id per subject; acknowledgement retires
those plus the current-row rebuild it always had. The acknowledgement collector is back to
main's single-field form.
* refactor(notifications): retire announced notifications by subject in main
Main now records, per pane, the ids it actually announced (a desktop banner
shown or a phone alert sent) and an acknowledgement passes the acknowledged
pane keys so main retires all of them. This replaces the renderer-side record
of dispatched ids: main is where the announcement happens, so it records only
real announcements, including phone alerts whose desktop banner focus
suppressed. The id rebuilt from the current row stays as the fallback after
a restart empties the in-memory record.
