* fix(native-chat): stop reading the terminal arguments field on the structured chat route Setting Claude's Arguments to "--dangerously-skip-permissions --model Opus" made every new Claude tab open in the old terminal-backed chat instead of the new structured one, with nothing on screen to explain why. Removing "--model Opus" fixed it. The cause was a whole-string comparison: the configured arguments were checked against a single blessed value per agent, so any added token at all — including one the agent supports — stopped the string matching and the launch was demoted. Structured chat does not run the interactive CLI. It drives Claude through the Agent SDK and Codex through app-server, and those take narrower option sets that are versioned separately from the CLI's, so one free-text field cannot have a guaranteed meaning for all three. The structured route now reads only what it can actually honour: a replaced launch command, or a launch that names its own working directory. Terminal launches still apply the field exactly as before. Permission posture no longer travels as a raw flag. It is derived from the resolved launch arguments, which is the same fact a terminal launch acts on and which falls back to the default Orca ships when the field was never touched, so bypass stays on by default and Manual is still honoured. Claude gets the SDK's typed permissionMode and allowDangerouslySkipPermissions at query start; Codex gets its bypass flag placed before the app-server subcommand. Both are re-derived per acquisition beside the auth policy and environment overlay rather than stored in the session record, so nothing can disagree with the setting. Codex also loses the --profile, --add-dir and -c passthrough that reached app-server through that field. Only the permission posture comes back. * test(native-chat): pin routing authority on the narrowed feasibility input The routing-authority pin still named the old bundled blocker and built its "customized" fixture out of the arguments field, which is no longer a feasibility input. Both are now the launch command, and arguments and environment are customized on both passes of the loop, so the flag handed to the shared resolver tracks the command alone — a caller that resumed reading either one fails here. No case is dropped and no assertion is relaxed: the blocker list is still exhaustive and every caller must still honour a refusal from the shared resolver.
