* fix(agent-status): a cancel never hides live work After the user cancels a turn, a background shell, scheduled check or subagent that is still running keeps reading as it truly is in both lanes. The fold no longer takes a verdict input; the cancellation survives only as lead.outcome, restated as the row's interrupted flag on a settled row for readers that predate lead. * fix(agent-status): keep a cancel's verdict and clock on every settle path A Grok turn cancelled while a task ran now reads monitoring, and the idle_prompt backstop that later settles it restated done without the row's `interrupted` flag, so notification readers announced the cancelled turn as a clean finish. Derive `interrupted` from the main agent's outcome, as the Claude builder already does. The inferred Claude cancel now folds through the host's local main agent record, which a relayed pane never refreshes, so a second cancel on an SSH pane inherited the first cancel's clock. The caller admits only a working main agent, so the cancel always starts a new done clock. * fix(agent-status): keep the shell fact on an inferred cancel so restart can seed it An inferred Ctrl+C cancel beside a working subagent publishes a row held open by child work, but the synthesized event dropped the row's paired claudeRunningNonAgentTask fact because mainAgent changed. Hydration seeds a settled main agent only when that fact says no shell ran, so after a restart the child's drain left the row working with no mainAgent. Carry the fact forward: a cancel does not change what the shell inventory said. * fix(agent-status): a Ctrl+C at an idle main agent's prompt cancels nothing Every row that publishes the main agent fact now admits an inferred cancel only while that main agent is working. Grok's Ctrl+C at the idle prompt leaves its background task running, so settling the monitoring row to done hid live work. Rows without the fact keep the evidence guard, and Codex keeps it too because its synthesized row is a plain done. * fix(agent-status): fold a relayed pane's cancel from its row, not the desktop's records The inferred Claude cancel read and wrote the desktop's own listener records for every pane. For an SSH pane those records are not the relay's: hydration seeds them from the saved row and nothing reaps them, so a subagent that finished on the remote after a desktop restart kept a cancelled row spinning with nothing running. A local pane still records the verdict on its listener and folds its own roster; a relayed pane folds only the child work its row carries. The relayed-pane parameter and forced clock the shared record path grew for this are gone. * fix(agent-status): hold a cancel verdict in the store until a new turn or the provider's own A relay never learns of the cancel the desktop infers from Ctrl+C, so its next child hook or reconnect replay restated the main agent as working and flipped the row back. The late-hook suppression that guarded this keyed on a done row flagged interrupted, which a cancel held open by a shell or subagent no longer is; it also dropped Grok's own stop_cancelled when the inference won the settle race, hiding the task that hook reported. The suppression is replaced by a latch derived from the row: its main agent reads cancelled (or, from an older host, a done row flagged interrupted). A settled incoming main agent, another prompt, an explicit prompt or a session start releases it. Child and replayed events keep the latched main agent and are re-folded with their own child evidence; late main agent work is held as before, and Codex keeps its record re-mark. * test(agent-status): pin Codex's evidence guard beside the main agent fact * fix(agent-status): a prompt submission ends the cancel verdict latch The task notification Claude starts when background work ends is a real turn, but it keeps the cached prompt and carries no explicit prompt, so within 15 s of a cancel the latch held its prompt submission and every tool event after it: the turn read as monitoring under a cancelled main agent until its Stop. The captured shell cancel has exactly this: the notification lands 0.17 s after the cancel key. * fix(agent-status): derive a Codex row's interrupted flag from its main agent The cancel verdict latch lets any settled mainAgent through, so a late root Stop after an inferred Codex cancel now applies where the old same-prompt window held it. It restates the cancellation on mainAgent but, unlike Claude and Grok rows, carried no interrupted flag, so mobile, the dashboard and notification text read the cancelled turn as finished. Codex rows (local and relayed) now derive the flag from the main agent record, like the other providers that publish one. * docs(agent-status): describe cancel admission for every provider and the store's cancel-verdict hold * docs(agent-status): correct the idle-prompt Ctrl+C claim to the measured CLI behavior * fix(agent-status): preserve waiting relay children on cancel * fix(agent-status): resolve the cancel hold before a child's permission card adopts a relayed main agent The permission-card hold took the incoming event's mainAgent before the cancel hold ran, so on an SSH pane a child's next tool under a sticky card restated the relay's stale working main agent and dropped the cancellation the desktop had inferred. * test(agent-status): pin that a cancelled turn's drained subagent settles as stopped, not completed * fix(agent-status): keep a cancel through a restarted relay's child hook and a teammate's idle A relay that restarts after a desktop-inferred cancel has lost its prompt cache, so the child's next hook arrived with an empty prompt, read as a new turn, and replaced the cancelled main agent with none; the row then stayed working after every child stopped. A child's empty prompt is now unknown, not another turn; a non-empty different one still releases, since it is the listener's newer prompt. TeammateIdle names its child by teammate_name and carries no agent id, so the latch treated it as the main agent's and let the late-hook window apply it after 15 s, reviving the cancelled turn. It is now re-folded as child work.
