* fix(native-chat): alert when a structured chat asks for approval or input mid-turn A structured Claude or Codex chat that stopped mid-turn to ask for approval or a question raised no OS notification, no phone push and no unread dot: the host's attention feed only fired when a turn settled. The host now announces each newly pending prompt once, from the same feed, and owns the phone push for its own structured sessions; desktops keep presentation only. - host feed: a `prompt` edge per pending approval/question, opt-in on the existing stream; a clean settle that only restates an announced prompt is not re-announced to prompt-aware clients; failures always are - host push: an in-process subscriber pushes the host's paired phones with labels from in-memory metadata, and withdraws a prompt's alert once answered - one attention identity for desktop banner, phone push, dedupe and retirement; delivery dedupes on it instead of the per-workspace burst window - agentSession.acknowledgeAttention routes reading a chat to its owning host, which retires what it pushed for that session via its dismissal record * fix(native-chat): keep prompt alerts under their retirement identity * Fix structured attention read and delivery lifecycle * Allow later reads to retry failed attention retirement * Prevent delayed prompt alerts after accepted reads * Keep attention integration tests across process boundaries * Check structured capability before cursorless attention reads * Keep host retirement fixture in the Node typecheck boundary * Keep attention test seams in the mock boundary * Keep host notification formatting usable without Electron * Declare agents in restored-host attention fixture * Group session attention capability declarations * Retire structured alerts on every read and when a remote prompt ends - Mark read and Mark all read on a chat that was never opened, or is hidden, now cover what lit its row: the read boundary is the later of the transcript cursor and the newest edge the tab was handed, captured at the click. The one boundary closes the banners, retires relayed phone alerts and drives the host acknowledgement; an edge after the click stays live. - An alert from a host older than journal cursors has no position, so a pane read retires it again, banner and relayed phone push, as before this change. - A desktop-relayed prompt alert for a remote chat is withdrawn once that host's live status stops reporting attention (answered elsewhere, cancelled, host restart); cached status after loss of contact never settles it. - The attention acknowledgement is agent-session.attention-ack.v1 with a required journal cursor and strict params; the cursorless no-op is gone. - The dismissal store keeps a record whose origin a newer build wrote, dropping only that origin. - Host reconciliation runs on restore and when a prompt leaves the pending set, not on every journal commit. - Remove unused session-wide retirement (retire, retireMatching, retireMobileNotificationsMatching) and test-only store lookups. * Settle relayed prompts only from host-dated status; reads default to view - A remote chat's status and its prompt edges arrive on separate sockets, so a status row queued before the prompt could land after it and withdraw a relayed alert that was still pending. Settlement now needs a live, non-attention row whose host updatedAt (the journal's latest row time, never decreasing) is later than the prompt's host raisedAt. The owed prompt is cleared only once the settle call succeeds, so a failed call retries on the next qualifying row. - An acknowledgement without captured reads now reads as a view. Mark read, Mark all read, the hover-card jump and both dashboard acks pass 'explicit'; Activity's automatic per-turn read stays a view. * Re-judge relayed prompt settlement after each call; dashboard watching is a view - Settlement is one check of the current mirror, run on each status row, after each settle call returns, and when a prompt edge arrives. A row that lands while a call is out is no longer dropped, and an edge that arrives after its own resolution settles at once. A rejected call is retried only once the mirror holds a different row, so a failing call cannot loop. - The Agent Dashboard's card click acknowledges as explicit; watching the open dialog acknowledges as a view, through both the in-window drawer and the pop-out relay, and no longer re-acks the state the click just read. * Keep a reused read owner findable after its holders release it A chat pane memoizes its read owner. When every holder let go in one commit and the same owner was picked up again (React StrictMode's effect re-run in development, or a pane remounted in one commit, as on a tab move), the release dropped it from the registry and nothing put it back. The attention bridge then found no owner, so a view read carried no cursor: the unread dot cleared but the banner and phone alerts stayed. An owner now names its key again whenever it gains an activation or a subscriber and the key is free, never over a different live owner. * Type the ack test's execution host ids * Keep the turn-completion types in main's turn-completion wire module Main moved these types into agent-session-turn-completion-wire.ts while this branch moved them into agent-session-attention-wire.ts. They now live at main's path with this branch's additions (journal cursor, prompt attention, prompt arm); the unused completion key is dropped.
