`@claude` picked its recipients with `buildAgentNameRe('claude').test(title)`, so any pane whose
TITLE contained the word received Claude's messages. Terminal titles carry task text, and people
describe agent work in them, so this is the ordinary case rather than a contrived one: the
recorded title "Switch Claude and Codex off the load balancer… - grok" is a Grok pane that
received both @claude and @codex. Misdelivered instructions, not a cosmetic slip.
The cause is that `RuntimeTerminalSummary` carried no identity at all — `title` was the only
identity-ish field on it, so routing by title was the only option available. Fix the input:
- `RuntimeTerminalSummary.agentIdentity?: TuiAgent` — optional, host-resolved from launch and
foreground-process evidence the host owns, with the title ranked last and contributing only
when the evidence parser finds an unambiguous name. A title that merely mentions an agent
yields no evidence, which is the whole point.
- `resolvePublishedPaneAgentIdentity` in `src/shared` rather than inside the runtime class, so
the decision is testable without a runtime and so routing, delivery and the UI cannot drift.
- Groups match `agentIdentity`; the title matcher and its bespoke Cursor predicate are deleted.
Unknown fails closed. `agentIdentity` is absent when the host predates the field or had no
evidence beyond the title, and delivery is an action: not delivering is visible and recoverable
(the sender sees no recipients), while delivering to the wrong agent is neither. The optional
field is additive, so an old client simply ignores it (wire rule 1).
This is also the first real caller of the evidence parser and the identity resolver.
Tests: 27 in groups, 8 for the publisher, 3 RPC fan-out cases updated to the new contract. The
`@cursor`-must-not-match-"text cursor blink" hazard is now excluded structurally instead of by a
per-agent predicate.
Verified non-vacuous by mutation: swapping the process/title ranks fails 2 publisher assertions,
and reverting groups to title matching fails 15 of 27. One earlier mutation silently failed to
apply after formatting reflowed the block — the file was checked before trusting the result.
