* feat(agents): add first-class DeepSeek Harness (dsh) support Register DSH as a supervised Orca agent: catalog entry and detection for its dsh-tui profile, status/question hooks through DeepSeek's own Claude-Code hook bridge, composer-ready prompt delivery, session resume, headless Source Control AI, and title identity that no longer collides with Gemini's. * fix(dsh): reach Orca through DSH's credential scrub and stop reading its title as Gemini DSH runs command hooks through its own shell executor, which drops every env var whose name contains KEY, TOKEN, SECRET or PASSWORD — taking ORCA_PANE_KEY and ORCA_AGENT_LAUNCH_TOKEN with it, so every hook exited without posting. Mirror both onto scrub-safe aliases at spawn and restore them at the top of the DSH hook script. Its title collided too: DSH rests on the same glyph Gemini works on, so a resting DSH pane was relabelled Gemini CLI and reported working forever. Defer both the Gemini classifier and the title status detector on DSH's whale, in the base module both copies of that classifier read. * test(mobile): repin the session-route closure for the DSH agent icon * fix(dsh): address review — never splice user rows, cover remote panes, keep the diff off argv - findManagedDshPatchRegion paired an orphan start marker with a later block's end, so a truncated write made install/remove delete the user's own rows. Pair each end with the nearest preceding start; regression test fails without the fix. - The relay PTY env builder never applied the scrub-safe aliases, so remote DSH status silently never appeared even with the remote hook installed. - Source Control AI sent the whole diff on argv; send it over stdin with DSH's '-' marker. - dsh-tui/dst already chose the interactive profile, so a workspace folder named 'web' or 'plugin' no longer marks a live agent pane non-interactive. - Isolate USERPROFILE as well as HOME so a Windows run cannot edit the real home. - Drop the duplicate README badge and revert an incidental doc reformat. * refactor(dsh): share the managed-hooks reader and tighten the new modules Reuse before reimplementing: readManagedDshHookEvents was a near-verbatim copy of Muse's, with byte-identical private helpers. Both now call one readManagedHookEventsFromJson. Also: one readTextOrAbsent instead of two spellings of the same read (dropping an existsSync TOCTOU), one status() builder instead of four inline literals, rmSync(force) instead of exists-then-unlink, and a redundant empty-string guard before JSON.parse. The patch-file transforms lose their index juggling for a predicate plus a filter. * fix(dsh): refuse a flow-style patch file, keep its mode, and stop the relay inheriting a pane - applyManagedDshPatch matched only an exact `[]`, so `[] # keep empty` or a non-empty flow sequence got a block entry appended after it — invalid YAML that would leave DSH unable to load the user's own patch layer either. It now strips the token from an empty sequence (keeping a trailing comment) and returns null for a non-empty one; install reports that and changes nothing. - The patch rewrite dropped an owner-only file to the umask default (CWE-732); pass preserveMode. - The relay PTY env never dropped inherited pane identity the way the local and daemon builders do, so a spawn that specified none could inherit the relay's own and every agent's hook would report against that pane. * fix(dsh): keep the flow-style refusal in every status read, and scope the mode test to POSIX A refused patch file carries no managed region, so getStatus() fell through to a bare not_installed with detail null — the actionable 'rewrite it as a block sequence' message only ever reached the one-shot install() return. Export the predicate and check it first, behind one shared message constant. The owner-only mode assertion cannot hold on Windows, where chmod only toggles the read-only attribute and mode & 0o777 reads 0o666 for any writable file. * docs(readme): restore the DeepSeek Harness badge lost in the rebase * test(mobile): repin the session-route closure to the measured 4221 Measured, not derived: 4220 without the DSH icon entry, 4221 with it. Two of the three modules above main's 4218 pin are not this change's — they arrived with the mobile work after #22570 and were never repinned; the changelog records that split explicitly. * fix(dsh): settle tui-idle on the agent's own hook, so supervised workers see it ready Reported by a tester on the adhoc build: `terminal wait --for tui-idle` ran to its 90s timeout against an already-ready DSH composer, so a supervised worker never sees the agent as ready. Every existing tier reads the title, and DSH deliberately carries no title status: its rest prefix is Gemini's working glyph, so the detector reports none. A fresh first-party `done` is better evidence than any title anyway — it is the agent's own account of its own turn, and normalizeDshEvent drops subagent events, so it is the lead's. Scoped to DSH: for agents whose hooks report child turns, a mid-turn `done` is the #6011 class this file prevents. * test(daemon): record the DSH transcript's true-colour I2 divergences Adding the dsh-tui capture to __fixtures__ enrolled it in the serialize replay sweep, where it reports 10 I2 divergences and failed the unlisted-transcript default of 0. Every one is the same shape — visible-grid row=0, a 24-bit background the round trip does not restore to default — which is DSH's whale intro painting whole rows of true colour. Verified as an upstream limitation rather than a regression by replaying against the previous build (build-serialize-addon-at-ref.mjs --ref origin/main): I1 and I3 both hold. * fix(dsh): return the new tui-idle verdict from the first-party done lane Main refactored isTuiIdleSatisfied into evaluateTuiIdle, which returns a verdict rather than a boolean. The DSH lane still returned `true`; it is tier-1 positive evidence, so it returns READY_STRONG like the title/body lane above it. Re-verified the regression test still fails without the lane. * test(relay): pin the scrub-safe pane-identity aliases on the relay spawn path The relay builds a remote pane's env itself, so the alias mirroring there had no test: removing the call left every suite green while remote DSH status silently vanished. Both cases fail without it. * docs(dsh): point the hook service at the integration reference The reference doc had no inbound link from anywhere in the repo.
Orca Mobile
React Native companion app for Orca. Monitor worktrees, view terminal output, and send commands from your phone.
Local development uses two processes:
- Orca desktop/Electron from the repo root. This hosts the mobile WebSocket RPC server on port
6768. - Expo Metro from
mobile/. This serves the React Native app on port8081.
Unless a command says otherwise, run mobile app commands from the mobile/ directory.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 24+
- pnpm
- Xcode and/or Android Studio tooling for simulator or device builds
- Expo Go on your phone, or a development client build when native modules are needed
- Phone and desktop on the same LAN when testing a physical phone
Start Desktop Orca
From the repository root:
pnpm install
pnpm dev
Confirm the mobile RPC server is listening:
lsof -nP -iTCP:6768 -sTCP:LISTEN
Restart pnpm dev after changing Electron main-process code. Metro hot reload only applies to the mobile JavaScript bundle.
Start The Mobile App
cd mobile
pnpm install
pnpm start
Scan the Expo QR code with your phone's camera on iOS, or Expo Go on Android.
For a native dev-client build:
pnpm exec expo run:android
pnpm exec expo run:ios
pnpm start --dev-client
Pair With Desktop Orca
- Open Orca desktop.
- Go to Settings > Mobile.
- Scan the pairing QR code from the mobile app.
- Confirm the mobile host endpoint is
ws://<desktop-ip>:6768.
For the Android emulator, use ws://10.0.2.2:6768. For a physical phone, use the desktop LAN IP, for example ws://192.168.0.179:6768.
If the phone has a stale host entry, remove it from the app and pair again.
Development Paths
Android Phone
- Install Expo Go from Google Play
- Run
pnpm start, scan QR with Expo Go - For native modules:
pnpm exec expo run:android - Run with
pnpm start --dev-client
iOS Simulator
- Install Xcode from the App Store
- Run
pnpm start --iosto open in iOS Simulator
Physical Phone Debugging
The phone can be inspected through the connected device tooling:
orca snapshot --json
orca click --element @e3 --json
orca fill --element @e1 --value "ls" --json
orca screenshot --json
Use snapshot first to find the current element refs, then click/fill those refs. After mobile file edits, Metro usually hot reloads automatically, but navigating out of and back into the session screen can be useful because it re-runs terminal.subscribe.
Terminal Streaming Repro Without A Phone
Use this when terminal output does not render on device and you need to split server streaming bugs from WebView/UI bugs:
cd mobile
ORCA_MOBILE_WS_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:6768 pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64>
You can pass a worktree selector as the third argument:
pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "id:<worktreeId>"
pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "path:/absolute/worktree/path"
pnpm exec tsx scripts/test-subscribe.ts <deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "name:my-worktree"
The expected result includes:
streamSawMarker: true
readSawMarker: true
If this repro fails, debug the desktop runtime/PTY path before the mobile WebView. If it passes but the phone is blank, debug the session screen or TerminalWebView readiness/queueing path.
Terminal Color Repro Without A Phone
Use this when terminal colors disappear after switching tabs. Open a Claude Code terminal and at least one other terminal in the target worktree, then run:
cd mobile
ORCA_MOBILE_WS_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:6768 pnpm exec tsx scripts/repro-terminal-colors.ts \
<deviceToken> <serverPublicKeyB64> "id:<worktreeId>"
The script captures terminal.subscribe snapshots in an A → B → A sequence and writes raw snapshots to mobile/terminal-color-repro/. If the two A snapshots have different sgrColor counts, the desktop snapshot changed during the switch. If they match, the ANSI color data is still present and the bug is in mobile replay/rendering.
Validation
Run these checks before committing mobile terminal changes:
cd mobile
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit
pnpm run check:tests-typecheck
pnpm lint
cd ..
pnpm typecheck:node
tsc --noEmit reads tsconfig.json, which excludes test files so Metro never bundles them.
tsconfig.test.json puts them back, and pnpm run typecheck:tests shows their errors in full.
check:tests-typecheck is the gate over it: a ratchet against tests-typecheck-baseline.txt, the
127 test files that do not typecheck yet. It fails when a file that checks today stops checking,
and when a baseline entry starts checking (prune it with
node scripts/check-tests-typecheck-ratchet.mjs --prune). The list may only shrink.
The same gate censuses the program first: every *.test.ts(x) on disk must be in it, or named in
the script's TESTS_OUTSIDE_PROGRAM with a reason. Without that, a test excluded from
tsconfig.test.json — or a Foo.test.tsx shadowed by a Foo.test.ts beside it, which a wildcard
include drops for the higher-priority extension — would leave the ratchet silently.
Protocol Version Compatibility
Mobile and desktop talk over a versioned protocol. Because mobile updates lag desktop by 24-48h via the App Store, both sides exchange version numbers on status.get so a genuinely incompatible combo can hard-block instead of silently misbehaving.
Constants live in two files (Metro can't resolve outside mobile/):
src/shared/protocol-version.ts—DESKTOP_PROTOCOL_VERSION,MIN_COMPATIBLE_MOBILE_VERSIONmobile/src/transport/protocol-version.ts—MOBILE_PROTOCOL_VERSION,MIN_COMPATIBLE_DESKTOP_VERSION
Today all four are set so evaluateCompat always returns { kind: 'ok' } — nothing blocks. The wire format is in place to flip a switch when needed.
When to bump
Bump DESKTOP_PROTOCOL_VERSION (and the mobile mirror MOBILE_PROTOCOL_VERSION when relevant) for breaking changes:
- Removed RPC method or required parameter that mobile uses
- Changed meaning (units, nullability) of an existing field mobile reads
- Changed encryption, framing, or auth handshake
Do not bump for additive changes:
- New RPC methods
- New optional fields on existing methods
- New event types in
terminal.subscribe
Set MIN_COMPATIBLE_MOBILE_VERSION (kill-switch) when desktop ships a change that requires a minimum mobile version to function safely. Same for MIN_COMPATIBLE_DESKTOP_VERSION from the mobile side.
When a verdict is blocked, mobile/src/components/ProtocolBlockScreen.tsx renders a screen pointing the user at either the App Store (mobile too old) or GitHub Releases (desktop too old).
To exercise the block screen locally: set MIN_COMPATIBLE_DESKTOP_VERSION = 999 in mobile/src/transport/protocol-version.ts, rebuild, pair to any desktop. Revert before merging.
Mock Server
Develop the mobile app without a running Orca desktop instance:
pnpm mock-server # starts mock WebSocket server on port 6768
Connect from the app using endpoint ws://localhost:6768 and token mock-device-token.
Environment variables
MOCK_NATIVE_CHAT=1— serve the native-chat scenario (one live agent tab, empty transcript, image upload) instead of the default terminal fixtures.MOCK_CHAT_AGENT=omp— withMOCK_NATIVE_CHAT=1, present an OMP tab and four decoded transcript messages, including a tool call and result, instead of the default Claude scenario. It deliberately omitstranscriptPathto exercise legacy-hook readability discovery; current OMP hooks may report a path.MOCK_SERVER_KEY_FILE— persist the server keypair across restarts so a paired device keeps its public-key pin. A missing or invalid file is re-keyed with a warning, which forces a re-pair.
Scenario control files
Read on every request, so behaviour can be flipped mid-session without a restart (a restart would re-key E2EE and force a re-pair). Write the mode into the file, or delete it for the default.
MOCK_SEND_MODE_FILE(defaultorca-mock-send-modein the system temporary directory) —accept(default) accepts the send,errorfails it withmobile_input_floor_unavailable, anything else reports the send as rejected.MOCK_TERMINAL_LIST_MODE_FILE(defaultorca-mock-terminal-list-modein the system temporary directory) —omitreturns an empty terminal list,otherreturns a list that omits the chat handle, anything else lists it.MOCK_TERMINAL_STREAM_MODE_FILE(defaultorca-mock-terminal-stream-modein the system temporary directory) —deadanswers a subscribe withsubscribedthenend(a gone PTY), which is what exercises the rearm bound and terminal prune; anything else streams normally.
Connecting to Real Orca
- Start Orca desktop with WebSocket transport enabled
- In Orca, go to Settings > Mobile and scan the QR code with this app
- The QR encodes the connection endpoint, device token, and TLS fingerprint
