650dd48ec9 feat(cli): add orca account add / account list for headless hosts (Claude + Codex) (#9177)
* feat(cli): add `orca account add` / `account list` for headless hosts

The desktop "Add account" UI is disabled when the renderer drives a remote
runtime (isRemoteAccountScope === kind:'environment'), so a headless server
reached from a remote desktop/web client has no way to register managed
Claude accounts. Add a host-local CLI path that reuses the existing capture
logic:

- ClaudeAccountService.addAccountFromConfigDir(): register a managed account by
  capturing credentials from an already-authenticated CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR instead
  of spawning the interactive browser login (extracted persist/rollback helpers
  shared with the existing add flow)
- RPC accounts.addClaudeFromConfigDir, bridged via OrcaRuntime; rejected for
  mobile device tokens (host-local only)
- `orca account add` runs `claude login` in the user's own terminal into a temp
  CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, then registers it via the local runtime; `orca account list`
  lists managed accounts

Switching (select) already works from a remote client; only adding was blocked.

* feat(cli): support Codex in `orca account add` / `account list`

Mirror the Claude headless-account CLI for Codex:

- CodexAccountService.addAccountFromHome(): register a managed Codex account by
  importing auth.json from an already-authenticated CODEX_HOME, reusing a shared
  persist helper extracted from doAddAccount (no interactive login spawned here)
- RPC accounts.addCodexFromHome + OrcaRuntime.addCodexAccountFromHome bridge,
  rejected for mobile device tokens (host-local only)
- `orca account add --agent claude|codex` (default claude); `orca account list`
  now renders both Claude and Codex managed-account blocks

* test: cover headless account-add capture paths (Claude + Codex)

- ClaudeAccountService.addAccountFromConfigDir: registers a managed account by
  capturing an authenticated CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR; rejects and rolls back when the
  dir has no .credentials.json
- CodexAccountService.addAccountFromHome: imports auth.json from an
  authenticated CODEX_HOME into a managed account; rejects when auth.json is
  missing

* fix: address CodeRabbit review on headless account-add flows

- CLI login spawn uses a shell on Windows so `.cmd` agent shims resolve without
  ENOENT (args are fixed literals, no injection risk)
- Claude capture skips the `.credentials.json` precheck on macOS, where creds
  live in the Keychain and captureAuthFromConfigDir reads them
- Claude add rollback is best-effort: a failed rematerialization no longer skips
  managed-auth cleanup or masks the original add error
- Codex persist restores the prior account/selection if a post-write sync or
  rate-limit refresh fails, so a failure can't leave a dangling managed account
- Codex sync passes the account's selection target (correct runtime for WSL)
- Add JSDoc to the new public service methods and CLI functions

* fix(cli): harden headless account capture

* fix(cli): correct account command flag surface and interrupt cleanup

- `account` commands no longer accept or advertise the browser `--page`
  flag; `supportsBrowserPageFlag` allow-listed them by omission, so
  `orca account list --page x` was silently accepted and `--help`
  rendered a browser-only option
- account specs declare GLOBAL_FLAGS, so `--help`/`--json` render in the
  Options block like every other command
- `--agent` on `account add` documents the account provider instead of
  the terminal TUI-agent meaning inherited from the shared flag table
- a SIGINT/SIGTERM during the interactive login now removes the temp
  login dir (and restores the macOS Keychain item) before exiting 130;
  Node terminates without unwinding `finally`, which stranded live OAuth
  credentials on disk

* perf(cli): stop `account list` forcing a provider usage refresh

`accounts.list` awaited refreshAccountsForMobile(), which runs
fetchAll({ force: true }) — bypassing both the poll throttle and the
per-provider Retry-After gate — then O(N) serial per-account round
trips. `orca account list` renders only emails and the active ids, so
all of that work was discarded. The RPC now takes `refreshUsage`
(default true, so mobile and web keep the forced lane) and the CLI opts
out. Older hosts declare `params: null` and ignore the field, so a newer
CLI degrades to the previous behavior rather than failing.

Also documents on `account list` that `--environment` does not retarget
it, matching the host-local behavior of shouldIgnoreRemoteSelection.

* fix(cli): survive repeated and hangup signals during account add

withInterruptCleanup latched cleanup behind a boolean, so a second signal
got an already-resolved promise and its process.exit fired while the first
cleanup was still inside a Keychain call (3s each) — the temp dir's OAuth
credentials and the swapped macOS Keychain item both survived. Memoize the
cleanup promise so every signal awaits the same run, and register with
`on` instead of `once` so a second Ctrl-C cannot fall through to Node's
terminate-immediately default mid-cleanup.

Handle SIGHUP too. This flow exists for headless/SSH hosts, where the most
likely interrupt is the connection dropping, which hangs up the login's
terminal and previously ran no cleanup at all.

Warn when the interrupt lands after sign-in completed: the runtime finishes
the add independently of this process, so exiting 130 silently would tell
the user it was cancelled when the account may exist.

Reject a valueless `--agent`; the parser turns it into boolean true, which
silently ran a full OAuth login for Claude when the user asked for another
provider.

Also lock two behaviors the refactor changed but left uncovered: a WSL Codex
add must sync the WSL runtime lane rather than the default host lane, and
rename the account-spec help test to describe the Options block it actually
asserts rather than the usage string it never reads.

* fix(build): bundle the main modules the account CLI imports

electron-vite cleans out/main and emits only its declared entries, and
`build:desktop` runs it after `build:cli`, so the tsc-emitted copies of
`claude-accounts/keychain`, `codex-cli/command` and `win32-utils` were
deleted before packaging. Both `orca account add` and `orca account list`
then died at require time with "Cannot find module
'../../main/claude-accounts/keychain'" — reproduced against a real
`--serve` host. `agent-hooks/managed-agent-hook-controls` already carried
an entry for exactly this reason; these three were missing.

Adds a parity test so any future CLI import of a `src/main` module fails
in CI rather than at a user's shell after packaging.

* test: cover the desktop add-path behavior this PR changes

Both changes ride in the persist/rollback helpers the existing GUI add
flow shares with the new headless path, and neither had coverage:

- Claude: rollbackAddAccount now guards forceMaterializeCurrentSelection-
  ForRollback, so a rejecting rematerialization no longer replaces the
  real add error nor skips safeRemoveManagedAuth. Asserts the original
  error surfaces and the throwaway auth dir is gone.
- Codex: the desktop add now passes the account's selection target to
  syncForCurrentSelection, matching reauthenticate and select. Asserts
  the host target alongside the existing WSL assertion.

Both fail when the corresponding change is reverted.

* fix(cli): close the remaining account-add interrupt and preflight gaps

The round-1 interrupt fix detached the signal handlers before running the
finally-path cleanup, so the very window it was meant to protect — the two
serial 3s `security` calls plus rmSync on the success/error path — was
still covered only by Node's terminate-immediately default. Both review
lanes reproduced it independently. Await cleanup first, detach in a nested
finally, and stop a cleanup failure from replacing the error that actually
explains why the add failed.

Do not burn the interactive login when the runtime is unreachable. The
RuntimeClient is lazily constructed and the first call was the registration
RPC itself, so "Requires the Orca runtime to be running" was discovered
only after the user completed a full OAuth round trip. Preflight with the
now-cheap `accounts.list { refreshUsage: false }`.

Reject `--environment` / `--pairing-code` on `account add`.
shouldIgnoreRemoteSelection pins account commands to the local runtime, so
`orca account add --environment homelab` silently registered the account on
the laptop instead of the headless host it names.

Survive a daemon that cannot spawn `claude`. `allowFailure` is honored in
onClose but not onError, and unlike the GUI flow nothing has run `claude` in
the daemon before this point — so a launchd/systemd daemon with a minimal
PATH hard-failed an add the user had already signed in for, even though
identity resolves fine from the config dir's oauthAccount.

Also align the `--agent` help description with the global flag column.

* fix(cli): reject runtime selectors on `account list` too

`orca account list --environment homelab` was accepted and silently
listed the LOCAL machine's accounts, because shouldIgnoreRemoteSelection
pins account commands to the local runtime. Documenting that in --help
does not reach someone who already typed the flag, and answering with the
wrong host's accounts is the specific wrong answer they would act on.

`account add` already errors; this makes the new command group internally
consistent. The other groups in shouldIgnoreRemoteSelection keep their
existing silent-ignore behavior — changing those is not this PR's job.

* test: harden account-add signal tests and cover cleanup failure

- Identify the handler under test by set difference instead of
  `process.listeners(sig).at(-1)`. Vitest installs its own once-wrapped
  SIGINT teardown, so the positional lookup could grab the wrong listener;
  the helper also asserts exactly one new listener was added.
- Mock rmSync while keeping the real implementation by default, so the
  temp-dir assertions elsewhere stay honest.
- Cover that a cleanup failure in the `finally` does not replace the error
  explaining why the add failed. Fails when that guard is removed.

Completes the review loop's final round; the loop died on an API error
before it could commit this, and its `import()` type annotation would
have failed oxlint.

* fix(cli): harden interactive account add

* test(cli): make account cancellation coverage portable

* fix(cli): preserve merged skills runtime modules
