* fix(native-chat): honor custom Claude and Codex launch commands * fix(native-chat): sync launch failure localization catalogs * feat(native-chat): run Settings → Agents → Command as the native chat program Native chat ignored the Command setting, so a user who pointed it at a custom Claude or Codex build still got the stock CLI. The host now reads the Command per acquisition and per model-catalog probe, resolves it on the execution host as a program (an absolute path, ~ path, or a name on PATH), and spawns it with the normal structured arguments. A set Command that is not a runnable program refuses the start with a new agentCommandNotRunnable failure that names the setting; it never falls back to the stock CLI. * fix(native-chat): find a configured Claude Command on the launch PATH; clearer copy A Claude Command given as a bare name was looked up on Orca's own PATH, not the PATH the Claude child launches with (login shell plus Settings → Agents environment), so a name only that environment provides was refused. Codex already resolved against its launch environment. Claude now reads its launch env first and resolves a configured name against its PATH and home; the stock lookup with no Command is unchanged. The failure copy now states the rule (a program path or name, no arguments or variables) and names the Settings control (Reset). The catalog fingerprint doc notes that the program is not keyed, so a chat on an older program keeps refreshing the shared entry until it ends. * fix(native-chat): one PATH key for the Claude lookup and the child on Windows On Windows, an inherited `Path` and a Settings → Agents env `PATH` both reached the Claude child. The configured-program lookup read the first inserted twin (inherited), while Node's child_process keeps the lexicographically first (`PATH`, the user's), so a bare-name Command found only on the Settings PATH was refused. The Claude launch env now drops inherited case-twins of the overlay's variables (the rule the structured shell env already applies), so the lookup and the child read one PATH. pathEnvOf follows Node's win32 key rule, and Codex's lookup uses it too, so both agents read PATH one way. es/fr/ja copy now says the Command must be, as the English does. * fix(native-chat): refuse a Command that can't run instead of running the stock CLI A saved Settings → Agents → Command that did not resolve to a program (a command line such as `codex --profile work`, `FOO=1 claude` or `npx …`, a missing or relative path, a non-executable file) silently ran the stock Claude/Codex in native chat and its model-catalog probe. The user's choice was ignored with no sign of it. A set Command that does not resolve now refuses the start with a new agentCommandNotRunnable failure naming the setting, beside the existing Retry; the catalog probe refuses the same way and never lists the stock CLI. A blank Command keeps the stock lookup. On Windows a resolved file without a spawnable extension (.exe/.com/.cmd/.bat) refuses too, instead of failing to spawn with no word about the setting. * chore(native-chat): correct comments that say native chat ignores the Command After #25721 native chat runs a runnable Command, and this PR refuses one it can't run; four comments still said the Command applies to terminal launches only. The pre-spawn test fixture also drops the saved value from its error message, matching the resolver.
