* test(launch): pin what a paired agent session spawns today Characterization on main's code before createAgentSession moves onto the host planner: plain launch, short/long/multi-line prompts on macOS, a stdin-prompt agent starting clean, Windows PowerShell and cmd quoting, and the identity-required refusal when no launch can be built. * refactor(runtime): plan paired agent sessions with the host planner terminal.createAgentSession built its own launch command beside the planner every other host launch uses, and the two had drifted. It now hands the request to createTerminal as a startupAgent, so one planner builds it. The planner gains a draft delivery input, and one TEMPORARY input (startupPromptCarry: 'force-line') keeps what createAgentSession did: the prompt always rides the typed line, and an agent that reads its prompt after start launches clean. The later change that delivers uncarried prompts after start removes it. A launch that can't be built still refuses with agent_session_identity_required. * test(accounts): pin that the selected account wins over Settings agent env A paired agent session now layers the host-selected account env the way every other host launch does. * fix(runtime): report prompt carry truthfully on the planner's direct path Review round 1: a stdin-prompt agent's text never rides its launch line, a draft comment that overstated the carry rule, the error class's name, and formatting the cherry-picked commit skipped. * docs(runtime): scope the account-order and draft comments accurately Review round 2. * test(launch): drop paired-session parity rows that pin nothing new The no-prompt and short-prompt rows plan the same with or without force-line, and the Windows cmd row repeats the OpenCode-model Windows row's createAgentSession runtime and cmd quoting. The long-prompt, aider, PowerShell, refusal and account-env pins keep the coverage. * docs(runtime): label the draft's carry-rule exemption temporary Skipping the typed-line carry rule for drafts is createAgentSession parity, not design: a draft on the line has the same hazards as a submitted prompt. The one prompt/draft delivery policy removes it with force-line. * fix(runtime): keep main's error name for an unbuildable agent launch Overriding the name made every other planner caller's stringified error read 'AgentLaunchUnbuildableError: ...' instead of main's 'Error: ...', which renderer code that strips an 'Error:' prefix would show raw. createAgentSession matches by instanceof, so the override bought nothing.
