With the real-home flag ON and the system-default selection, install Orca's status hook into the user's real ~/.codex before any pane spawns: - entry APPENDED LAST per managed event: codex hook trust keys are positional (source:event:group:handler), so appending keeps every user entry's position and trust record intact; user entries and unknown top-level hooks.json fields are preserved verbatim - trust is granted exclusively through the codex app-server client (hooks/list + config/batchWrite, verified by re-list); Orca never writes [hooks.state] into the user's real config.toml itself - if the grant lane is unavailable (old binary, unsupported RPC, verify failure), the appended entry is rolled back byte-exactly and the host keeps the managed-home lane end to end (PTY env, rate limits, commit messages) via a lane gate on the runtime-home service - one-time pristine backup of the user's hooks.json under Orca's userData; a rolling .bak sits next to the file (existing atomic writer) - hook opt-out sweeps Orca entries from the real home and drops Orca-owned trust records; flag-off downgrade re-arms the existing legacy system-home sweep, which removes the entry and its trust keys cleanly - the legacy system-home sweep is suppressed only while the real-home lane owns ~/.codex/hooks.json, so managed installs cannot delete the entry

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
