· remote only for SSH repos (#1667)
* WIP: Changes before auto-review fixes Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * fix: address auto-review-fix-multi-agent findings - Replace local ORCA_WORKTREE_ID_SEPARATOR with shared WORKTREE_ID_SEPARATOR - Make hydrateLocalPtyRegistryAtBoot idempotent (one-shot per process, but stays retry-eligible until daemon provider is available) - Strengthen daemon-pty-adapter strict-parser test to actually exercise the new short-circuit (test would have passed under the old loose parser too without the change) - Add eslint-disable max-lines directive to oversized merge test file Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * chore: archive auto-review context to .context/ Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * fix: address auto-review-fix findings Drop the destructive reconcileOnStartup call from boot-time PTY registry hydration: a transient listRepoWorktrees failure (returns [] and only warns) would otherwise let the reconcile pass kill live local sessions. The boot path is now read-only against the daemon — listSessions() only. Also: tighten parsePtySessionId to reject degenerate `::` halves; replace stale pty.ts:1005 references and a misleading local-unknown comment in the hydrate module; narrow Store dependency to Pick<Store, 'getRepos'>; log adapter listSessions failures instead of silently swallowing them; re-anchor design-doc references on stable symbols and align §1b/§1c/§1d with the implementation. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * docs(resource-usage): update remote badge spec Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * test(resource-usage): cover boot hydration failure modes + warm-reattach e2e Adds the regression coverage flagged in PR #1667's test plan that wasn't already locked down. vitest (`hydrate-local-pty-registry.test.ts`): - daemon offline at first call → no-op, hasHydrated stays false so a later macOS dock re-activation can retry. - listSessions rejection caught and logged, does not throw. - pid-write ordering: a pre-existing registry entry with pid=12345 is not clobbered by a stale `pid: null` from listSessions (§1d). - SSH-gate: a session whose repo has a non-null connectionId stays out of the registry, mirroring the spawn-time gate in pty.ts. - Happy-path: a local session is registered with the daemon's pid. Playwright e2e (`resource-usage-warm-reattach.spec.ts`): Full quit→relaunch cycle against the same userDataDir; asserts that on the second launch the snapshot includes the warm-reattached PTY with a real pid before any pane mount, and that the seeded repo resolves as local (no connectionId). Mirrors the existing terminal-restart-persistence pattern. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * fix(test): satisfy Pick<Store, 'getRepos'> in hydrator vitest CI typecheck failed because FakeStore's getRepos returned objects missing Repo's required fields (path, displayName, badgeColor, addedAt). Fill with placeholder values; the hydrator only reads id + connectionId, but the type signature still has to line up. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * chore(resource-usage): drop bug-doc files; strip dead doc refs from comments Remove docs/resource-usage-remote-mislabel.md (new in this PR) and revert docs/resource-usage-merge-spec.md to the PR-base state. Strip the matching `docs/...md §N` pointers from code/test comments, keeping the surrounding "why" explanations intact so readers still get the warm-reattach mislabel context.

[New] Annotate AI Diff
Comment directly on AI-generated diffs.
Annotate any line in an AI-generated diff with your feedback, then send it back to the agent to revise. Keep the review loop tight — no copying line numbers, no context switching.
[New] Hot Swap Codex Accounts
Multiple Codex accounts? Switch in one click.
If you run multiple Codex accounts to get the best token deal, Orca lets you hot-swap between them instantly — no re-login, no config files. Just pick an account and keep building.
[New] Per Worktree Browser & Design Mode
See your app. Click any element. Drop it into the chat.
Orca ships with a built-in browser right inside your worktree. Preview your app as you build, then switch to Design Mode — click any UI element and it lands directly in your AI chat as context. No screenshots, no copy-pasting selectors. Just point at what you want to change and tell the agent what to do.
[New] Introducing the Orca CLI
Agent orchestration from your terminal.
Let your AI agent control your IDE. Use AI to add projects to your IDE, spin up worktrees, and update the current worktree's comment with meaningful progress checkpoints directly from the terminal. Ships with the Orca IDE (install under Settings).
