Why: deterministic sessionIds make cold-restore work, but the history
tree no longer self-cleans — a pane closed permanently before its
workspace-session write landed leaks its dir forever. Without a reaper,
`terminal-history/` grows unboundedly.
The reaper is intentionally conservative. Three stacked guards protect
against erroneous deletion:
1. Keep set: union of live daemon session ids, verbatim ptyIds on
tabs / ptyIdsByLeafId / remoteSessionIdsByTabId, AND deterministic
ids re-derived from every (worktreeId, tabId, leafId) triple
reachable through the persisted layout snapshots. The last entry
is the critical one — it protects history whose ptyId never got
persisted due to a SIGKILL-before-persist.
2. mtime gate (30 days): any dir whose on-disk mtime is newer than
the grace window is kept regardless of keep-set membership.
3. Two-launch quarantine: every orphan candidate is recorded in
`reaper-seen.json` (sibling to `terminal-history/` under userData,
so clearing history for recovery doesn't also erase the quarantine
memory). Only reaped after >= 2 elapsed launches. A corrupt sidecar
is treated as "nothing seen yet" — extra quarantine, never
premature reap.
Wired as a sibling pass after initDaemonPtyProvider() in main/index.ts;
best-effort — failures are logged, never crash startup.

[New] Annotate AI Diff
Comment directly on AI-generated diffs.
Annotate any line in an AI-generated diff with your feedback, then send it back to the agent to revise. Keep the review loop tight — no copying line numbers, no context switching.
[New] Hot Swap Codex Accounts
Multiple Codex accounts? Switch in one click.
If you run multiple Codex accounts to get the best token deal, Orca lets you hot-swap between them instantly — no re-login, no config files. Just pick an account and keep building.
[New] Per Worktree Browser & Design Mode
See your app. Click any element. Drop it into the chat.
Orca ships with a built-in browser right inside your worktree. Preview your app as you build, then switch to Design Mode — click any UI element and it lands directly in your AI chat as context. No screenshots, no copy-pasting selectors. Just point at what you want to change and tell the agent what to do.
[New] Introducing the Orca CLI
Agent orchestration from your terminal.
Let your AI agent control your IDE. Use AI to add projects to your IDE, spin up worktrees, and update the current worktree's comment with meaningful progress checkpoints directly from the terminal. Ships with the Orca IDE (install under Settings).
