* fix(dashboard): give the agent preview terminal a real pane's keyboard The dashboard's preview terminal is a bare xterm, not a pane, so it never ran `resolveTerminalShortcutAction` — its only custom key handler covered copy/paste and IME. Ctrl+Backspace therefore fell through to xterm's default `\x08`, which readline binds to backward-delete-char: one character instead of a word. Route the preview's keys through the pane's own shortcut policy, so word and line kills, Option chords, modified Enter, and scrollback chords encode identically. Pane-scoped verdicts (splits, search, focus) are swallowed rather than passed to xterm, which would send e.g. Ctrl+Shift+D as a bare Ctrl+D. The policy needs three things the preview could not see: - kitty-protocol flags — mirrored locally from the same PTY output stream - the PTY's execution host — bytes follow the host, not the client OS, so a new `DashboardCard.terminalInput` profile is derived in the main renderer (the only one holding the store) and relayed to the pop-out - host terminal options — the ConPTY backend and the kitty withhold now apply Also brings the emulator itself up to a pane's: Orca's Unicode 11 width shim (replayed CJK/emoji/ZWJ laid out wrong without it), Windows Ctrl+Alt chord repair, user font/cursor/line-height/word-separator/sensitivity settings, ligatures, the TUI wheel multiplier, lazy Arabic shaping, clickable links, and the IME candidate anchor — extracted from pane-lifecycle so both surfaces share one implementation. The in-window drawer built its snapshot from a slice subset, which would have degraded the new profile to client-OS defaults there; it now reads the full store non-reactively. * fix(dashboard): enumerate pane-scoped chords instead of a default case The switch-exhaustiveness gate rejects a `default` over the shortcut-action union — it would let a newly added action be swallowed silently instead of forcing a decision at the preview's boundary. * fix(dashboard): preserve native shortcuts and PTY host routing * chore: keep merge scope limited to dashboard * perf(dashboard): avoid full-store copies for terminal profiles * fix(dashboard): validate terminal input profiles at IPC boundary * fix(dashboard): sync preview terminal refs on commit, not during render react-compiler rejects ref writes in the render pass; every reader is an event handler or a post-await continuation, so a commit-phase sync is equivalent. * test(dashboard): cover the three seams that relay the host-input profile Reverting any of them left every suite green: the dialog's terminalInput prop (the only reader of DashboardCard.terminalInput), the drawer's hand-threaded store slices, and the pop-out's republish triggers. Each new assertion was mutation-checked against its source line. * fix(dashboard): follow the WSL host for a preview terminal's byte routing The card resolver handed resolveTerminalInputHostPlatform a transport with no getLocalSessionMetadata, so a WSL pty on a Windows client resolved to win32 while its own pane resolves linux — Shift+Enter would then encode CSI-u where the pane sends alt-enter. Mirror the pane transport's own gate. * fix(dashboard): republish on every slice the host-input profile resolves from The compare set covered 4 of the ~11 slices that decide a card's execution host, so a change to the rest (folder workspaces, project groups, the runtime catalog, detected worktrees) never triggered a publish. On a quiet board there is no later publish to heal from, and the pop-out — which cannot re-derive the profile — keeps encoding bytes for the host the pty used to run on. * fix(dashboard): sync preview terminal refs on layout, not on a passive effect xterm's keydown is a native listener, so React never flushes a passive effect before it. A just-relayed host profile could therefore miss the next keystroke. * test(dashboard): pin the preview's replay-vs-live kitty scan The existing A/B passed either way: a lone CSI > u sets the same flags through scan and scanReplay. Redeliver the push across a snapshot and its replay so stack semantics would leave the TUI's single pop on a stale frame. * fix(dashboard): rebuild the drawer's snapshot on every host-input slice The in-window drawer read ~12 host slices through getState() while subscribing to none of them, on the premise that agent activity drives the next rebuild. A quiet board has no such rebuild: an SSH handshake completing with every agent idle leaves the preview terminal encoding bytes for the pre-connect host, and agentStatusEpoch only ticks on live status changes so it never heals. Watch the same set useDashboardPopoutBridge republishes on — each writer bails out when nothing changed, so the added deps are far quieter than agentStatusByPaneKey, which already rebuilds this memo on every status ping. The existing coverage mounted a second hook, which always recomputes; the new test re-renders the same hook after changing only sshConnectionStates. * fix(dashboard): key the preview by the user's terminal shortcut policy The preview passed 11 of the 12 inputs the pane's policy takes and let the 12th default to orca-first. Under terminal-first a remapped tab.close chord is meant to yield to the shell — Ctrl+W is a word-kill there — but the preview kept claiming it as a pane close and swallowed the bytes. * test(dashboard): pin the host-input profile to card snapshots only The count path main added in #11042 renders no cards, so it must not pay a per-pty host resolution on every agent-status tick. Both assertions run against a card that does have a live pty, so only the gate keeps the profile off. * refactor(dashboard): extract the board's client-host read The merge of main's label bounding pushed build-dashboard-snapshot.ts to 302 lines. The client's own platform facts are a distinct concept from the pty host each card keys against, so they move out rather than earn a max-lines bypass.
