The agent gate's only evidence that setup ran is a marker file written by the gated setup command, and nothing guaranteed that command ever ran. The gated command inlined the runner path three times plus the nonce into one typed line -- 1033 bytes for an ordinary worktree, past the 1024-byte canonical input cap a PTY applies before the shell's line editor takes over -- so the submit byte was dropped, no marker was written, and the waiter sat silent for its full two-hour bound. The background-terminal launcher rebuilt the bare runner and ignored the gated command outright, and a swallowed setup spawn left nothing to record an outcome at all. Move the gated script into ORCA_SEQUENCED_SETUP_SCRIPT (the same indirection the startup gate already used) with the bare runner as an inline fallback; record the status from an EXIT trap / try-finally so an interrupted or unexecutable runner still reports; write a .started sentinel whose absence is how the never-started case is recorded from the execution host itself; and fold the gated command and its env into one WorktreeSetupLaunch record so no launcher can take one without the other. Bound the wait at 30 minutes with 15s progress lines and a 45s start grace that launches the agent unsequenced rather than waiting out a result nobody will record, and name the exit status in the agent terminal instead of leaving the failure on a tab the user has to go find. Split setup-agent-sequencing.ts into env/posix-gate/windows-gate to stay under max-lines.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
