* Provide the Orca CLI automatically in managed WSL terminals * Simplify managed WSL CLI provisioning Never block a shell on CLI availability, keep the shared WSL login-shell builder unchanged, provision from PTY env assembly only, drop the error variable and command probing, and reuse the existing WSLENV helper. * Scope the managed WSL CLI to WSL terminals Provision only for WSL panes and publish the directory through addOrcaWslInteropEnv, so daemon terminals keep inherited WSLENV entries and non-WSL builds never see the variable. Write the bridge with a UTF-8 BOM so Windows PowerShell 5.1 keeps non-ASCII user-data paths, give the dev bridge the dev launcher's app-launch env, and drop the unused skill-setup wiring and runtime capability. * Tighten the managed WSL CLI bridge and setup Launch the bridge child exactly like the registered bridge (no hidden window or output relay; verified through WSL with Node and Electron), give the dev bridge the dev launcher's NODE_OPTIONS stash, clear the guest-only directory before starting Windows processes, collapse setup into one function, warn once, and guard WSL env routing with tests. * Harden managed WSL CLI quoting and inheritance PowerShell also ends single-quoted strings at typographic quotes, so a user-data path such as O'Brien with a curly apostrophe broke the managed bridge. Fix the shared quotePowerShellLiteral and reuse it. Drop an inherited ORCA_WSL_CLI_DIR on the daemon path, remove the unreachable PATH dedupe, and cover failed setup with a stale caller value. * Cover the managed WSL CLI in zsh and on POSIX CI Add a live zsh case that reaches a real prompt, a POSIX test that runs the PATH restore snippet in bash and zsh under set -u, and a null result for unwritable user data. Say what a failed write actually costs, and document per-spawn write logging and older-daemon behaviour. * Keep system bashrc out of the PATH restore test CI runners make bash -c read /etc/bash.bashrc, which fails under set -u. --------- Co-authored-by: Orca Worker <orca-worker@localhost>

CLI access in Orca-managed WSL shells
A WSL terminal on a Windows host gets this app's CLI (orca-ide packaged,
orca-dev in development) on its PATH with nothing installed in the guest:
~/.local/bin, shell profiles, and the Windows user PATH are untouched. External
WSL shells still need Settings → General registration.
- Host.
buildPtyHostEnvcallsgetManagedWslCliDirfor WSL panes only. It writes a launcher and PowerShell bridge (reusingwsl-cli-scripts.ts) under<userData>/wsl-managed-cli/<content hash>and exportsORCA_WSL_CLI_DIR. Content addressing followsshell-wrapper-content-address.ts: builds sharing user data never overwrite each other, and a present file is complete because each one lands by rename. Old directories are not collected. - Crossing.
addOrcaWslInteropEnvaddsORCA_WSL_CLI_DIR/p, so both the daemon and in-process spawn paths translate it with the distro's own mounts. - Guest.
WSL_MANAGED_CLI_PATH_RESTOREruns after user startup files in the bash rcfile and the local zsh first-prompt hook, which run once per Orca shell. It leads PATH with the directory when$ORCA_WSL_CLI_DIR/$ORCA_CLI_COMMANDis executable, and otherwise prints one warning. Other login shells get no CLI; nothing blocks a shell.
The colocated launcher finds its bridge beside itself and PowerShell by Windows
path, so neither guest PATH nor the automount root matters. The bridge pins this
app's user-data directory and is written with a UTF-8 BOM so Windows PowerShell 5.1
reads non-ASCII paths correctly. It clears ORCA_WSL_CLI_DIR, which WSLENV maps
back to Windows, so an app the CLI starts never inherits it. In development it runs
Electron as Node on out/cli/index.js directly, with the environment
buildWindowsDevLauncher sets (ORCA_APP_EXECUTABLE, stashed NODE_OPTIONS).
Otherwise it launches its child exactly like the registered bridge.
A missing runtime (logged once) or a failed write (logged per spawn) leaves
ORCA_WSL_CLI_DIR unset. A terminal daemon from an older build adds no WSLENV
entry, so its WSL panes lack the CLI until the daemon restarts.
Run the opt-in end-to-end test on Windows with ORCA_BACKGROUND_LAUNCH=1,
ORCA_TEST_MANAGED_WSL=1, and optionally ORCA_TEST_WSL_DISTRO=<distro>. The zsh
case skips when the distro lacks zsh or script.
