* refactor(native-chat): keep the provider resume handle opaque to shared code
Shared structured-chat code parsed each provider's resume handle: Claude's
session id and branch leaf, Codex's thread id, through a 'claude' | 'codex'
union every new agent had to widen. The in-memory handle is now
{ transport, agent, nativeId, providerData? }: shared readers use nativeId,
lease and handle-chain checks compare transport and agent, and only the
Claude adapter reads its leaf (providerData).
Stored and wire forms are unchanged for Claude and Codex. One encoding
module writes their typed shapes and decodes both those and the neutral
shape a new transport uses, which an older build refuses as unreadable
rather than reading as Codex. Key and root strings, which fork seeds,
superseded creations and resume offers persist, stay byte-identical.
The journal's own handle type becomes the journal-row and attach-wire
encoding of the same handle, and the journal identity carries the
neutral handle (null before the provider proves one).
No user-visible change.
* fix(native-chat): derive journal-row provider handles from the journal identity
The journal row converter now takes the identity every caller already holds,
so a row's handle has one obvious constructor. Tests that wrote the in-memory
handle straight into journal rows now build it through that converter, and the
processless Claude fixture names a not-yet-proved handle as null.
* fix(native-chat): refuse a stored provider handle written in both forms
A typed Claude or Codex handle that also carries the neutral form's
transport, agent, native id or provider data named two identities; it
was read as Claude or Codex and the next write dropped the other one.
Such a row now stays unreadable and is set aside untouched.
* refactor(native-chat): route structured agents through registered definitions
The structured-chat shared layer named Claude and Codex in a closed router
type, in option reads, in frame classification, and in renderer label and
validation branches, so adding an agent meant editing shared types. Each
agent now has a definition (capabilities, resting option rules) owned by its
own module; the router is a registry of definition + adapter pairs built at
runtime setup, and shared code reads the definition instead of the name.
No behavior change for Claude or Codex; no wire or stored shape change.
* refactor(native-chat): name the structured agent list once in host types
The host types, conversation commands, provider-session ownership and the
runtime's create path spelled the structured agent list inline; they now use
the one shared type the record and wire already validate against.
* fix(native-chat): narrow the record before reading its agent's option rules
* refactor(native-chat): make the router's registrations the only agent definition lookup
The at-rest option reads looked definitions up in a second, separately populated map, so a
registered definition could route and declare capabilities while the static map decided which
options a chat at rest accepted. The router now answers `definition(agent)` from its
registrations, the at-rest readers take it through the host's adapter, and the built-in
definitions are listed only where the runtime composes the router.
* feat(native-chat): open the structured-chat wire and stored records to registered agents
A host's structured agents are the ones its runtime registered. Records, RPC
params, persisted tabs and the model catalog accept any registered agent instead
of naming Claude and Codex; each agent's definition declares the transport its
handles live in and the variable its account home pins. A new runtime
capability, agent-session.structured.registered-agents.v1, advertises that a
host accepts and lists its agents (agentSession.agents, with each agent's
capability record), and the host withholds any other agent's tabs and restart
offers from clients that do not advertise it.
* test(native-chat): cover registered agents on the wire, in storage and across versions
* refactor(native-chat): let the record store decide which agents' tabs exist
* test(native-chat): declare the pilot test agent's storage
* test(native-chat): read the old build's saved tabs through a parsed shape
* fix(native-chat): act on restart offers only for agents the calling client can show
A paired client too old to show an agent's chat was listed only the offers it could show, but
dismissing or continuing all reached every offer on the host, and a named continuation answered
with the host's whole remaining inventory. The client's audience now goes to the host with every
restart operation: only offers it sees are reserved, dismissed or returned. Without an audience
(this host's own process, or a client that shows every agent) nothing changes.
* test(native-chat): read an agent-registering baseline's storage on its own terms
The registered-agents downgrade test assumed its baseline release predates registered agents: it
expected the saved-tab parser to erase an unknown agent and called the record reader without the
agents list. Once a release with this change becomes the baseline, both break. The expectations now
follow what the baseline host advertises, and an agent-registering baseline is handed its own
Claude and Codex storage.
* refactor(native-chat): derive record-store admission from the runtime's agent registrations
Which agents a stored record may name and which agents the router drives came from two lists in
the runtime, so a newly registered agent could be routed while its records were set aside. One
list of registrations now holds each agent's definition and the factory for its adapter: the
store's admitted agents are derived from it before the store opens, and the adapters are built
from it once it has.
* fix(native-chat): hand the exit drain a promise for every registered agent
* fix(native-chat): let the adoption conflict check read any agent's ownership
Ownership rows name any registered agent since the stored records opened to them; the adoption
check compares by agent, so it takes the same open id. Only Claude and Codex still adopt.
* test(native-chat): use opaque handle in queued rejection fixture
* test(native-chat): share one Codex journal identity in the integration suite
Main grew the suite to the 800-line limit; the opaque-handle import pushed it
over. The two tests built the same identity inline.
* refactor(agent-session): name the handle's adapter state resumeCursor
Rename the neutral provider handle's providerData to resumeCursor before any
row persists the neutral form: it is an adapter-owned resume position (Claude's
transcript leaf), never identity. Claude/Codex stored and wire bytes are
unchanged; their typed shapes never carried the field.
State the stored-form contract (a handle's field set is closed; later per-link
data goes on the chain link, which every build preserves) and pin it with a
record round-trip test. Document that transport records the id space the
native id was minted in, which can differ from the agent's current transport.
* refactor(agent-session): one required agent registry; declarations admit what they claim
A StructuredAgentRegistry, built once from the {definition, adapter}
registrations, is now a required host dependency and the router routes with
it. The adapter interface loses its optional router-only capabilities?() and
definition?(); every reader (options at rest, thread goal, rewind, the
/compact handover) asks the registry. A live session still narrows rewind
through the adapter, and the host combines declared and narrowed in one
helper. The registry refuses a registration that declares compact, a thread
goal or rewind without the adapter method behind it.
/compact is admitted by the declared capability, so an agent that declares
compact:false gets the commandRefused fact instead of a thrown error.
Also: the cut-turn notice names the agent from the catalog, create-support
builds the account home through agentSessionAccountHome, and the turn
status text older clients read names the session's agent instead of
defaulting to Codex (Claude/Codex text unchanged).
* refactor(agent-session): the router applies the declared rewind itself
The router holds the registry, so its rewindSupport answers the owner's
declared rewind narrowed by the adapter, in one place no reader can bypass.
The host-side combining helper is gone; readers ask the adapter they hold.
* test(agent-session): register the agents the merged-in tests now need
The adoption replay test builds its host over this build's registered agents
instead of an adapter definition method, and the stored-form test passes the
stored agents the record guard now requires.
* chore(agent-session): the registry is the one lookup; drop the test-only empty capability record
* fix(agent-session): keep "dismiss all" restart offers dismissed for the desktop
The desktop renderer calls the restart methods as a paired runtime client
without the registered-agents capability, so it was handed a Claude/Codex
audience and its "dismiss all" took the scoped path: no dismissal fence and
no clearing of unwritten teardown witnesses, so a late teardown write could
bring a dismissed offer back.
The audience is now derived against this host's registry: a client that can
show every agent the host registered gets none, and dismisses exactly as
before (one fence for every offer). A client that truly cannot show some
agent still gets a final dismissal for what it sees: each cleared session is
fenced on its own (bounded, superseded by a dismiss-all fence) and only the
witnesses of agents it sees are dropped.
One predicate now answers which agents a client renders, for both tab
projection and restart offers; the Claude capability rule is folded in.
* fix(agent-session): a changed agent definition never hides that agent's chats
A record was readable only if every handle used the transport its agent's
definition declares today, and its account variable was declared by some
registered agent. A later build that drives the same agent over another
protocol, or under a renamed variable, would have set every existing chat of
that agent aside: no tab, no history, no error.
Readability now asks only that the record agree with itself: its agent is
registered, every handle shares one namespace owned by that agent, and the
account variable is a well-formed name. Whether this build can drive it (the
chain's transport is the one the agent speaks, and the account variable is
that agent's own, since it becomes the child's environment) is decided in
performAttach, the one admission every start of every agent passes through,
and refused there as hostUnsupported. A record pinning another agent's
variable is refused the same way rather than passing because some agent
declares it.
* refactor(agent-session): each agent's registration says where it runs and which account it pins
createSupport, create and the model catalog's account read still chose a
location rule and an account resolver by name (Claude, Codex, else none),
so a new agent would have needed a third branch beside the registration
list that already decides storage, routing and publication.
Each runtime registration now carries supportsLocation(location) and
resolveAccountHomePath({ launchEnv, location, purpose, workspacePath }),
and Claude's and Codex's rules move into their entries unchanged: a read
still syncs no home and starts no bridge, a Codex launch still trusts the
workspace first, and WSL locations resolve as before. The list exists
before the host is built, so none of these reads installs the host, and an
agent the list does not hold is answered no without opening the journal.
* test(agent-session): drop a duplicate registry key; keep fences out of the capsule state
A spread input already carries the registry, so the explicit key was
overwritten (TS2783). The session-fence helper now returns only the fence,
not the capsule state it was given.
* fix(agent-session): a scoped dismiss-all persists no per-session fence
The per-session dismissal fence added a forever-persisted capsule field
with an arbitrary cap that served no caller: only the local desktop calls
the restart methods, and on a host whose agents it all shows it gets no
audience and takes the unscoped, fenced dismissal. A scoped dismiss-all
(a caller that cannot show some registered agent) keeps that agent's
offers, clears only its audience's unwritten witnesses, and writes no
fence; a late write from this process is serialized behind it. The field
never left this unreleased branch.
* fix(agent-session): refuse an attach whose agent is not the session's own
The start check judges the record's agent while the router starts the adapter of params.agent, and the attach wire let the two differ. Admission now refuses agent !== provider as requestMalformed, so the agent checked is the agent started. Every host-built attach already sets them equal.
* fix(agent-session): offer to start a chat only when the start would accept it
The restart offer, a failure's retryable flag and the pre-send check asked only whether the adapter runs the chat's location, while the start also refuses a record this build cannot drive; such a chat was offered Resume and its Retry failed forever. One host predicate, hostCanStartRecord (location support and agentDrivesSession), now answers all four; adapterSupportsRecord stays the reader gate, and an undrivable chat's offer is kept, not retired.
* fix(agent-session): the model-catalog probe uses a record's account only if this build drives it
A record-scoped catalog read started the agent's lister under the record's account path whatever variable the record pinned. It now uses that path only when agentDrivesSession holds, and otherwise resolves the account as for a read with no record.
* refactor(agent-session): the record store admits agent ids; comments say where transport is checked
The store only ever asked whether an agent is registered, so its admission list is now the registered ids; the definition is the one home of an agent's transport and account variable. Comments that said the record store checks transport, and one that cited a nonexistent function, now point at agentDrivesSession and the attach admission. The isPersistedAgentSessionRecord(value, agents) call shape and the test fixture the cross-version probe imports are kept.
* docs(agent-session): the record store admits the registered agents' ids
* test(native-chat): dismiss-all through a remote client's audience keeps a newer Orca's offer
Uses an audience production sends (one that cannot show every agent), per review.
* chore(native-chat): keep the record store and recovery capsule under max-lines after the main merge
* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity and turn context the current way
The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle; the turn context also needs this branch's agent registry.
* test(ratchet): require src/main/provider-process now that it has landed
* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test
Main's #25706 and this branch both added the import at different lines; the merge kept both.
* Keep saved chats readable without provider registration
* Keep stored-record compatibility checks independent of registration
* Keep saved providers in restart client audiences
* test(native-chat): type reveal fixtures without assertions
* test(wire): expose known agents in structured host fixture
* Supply startability dependency in the new Codex catalog fixture
