* fix(activation): stop relaunching the creation-time agent on workspace activation Activating a workspace with zero renderable tabs launched the agent it was created with, unprompted and in approval-bypass mode. Navigation is not consent to start a process: the same fallback fired from post-delete focus handoff, the jump palette, keyboard cycling, CLI/relay activation, and notification clicks. The mechanism was superseded. #1814 added it when relaunching the created agent *was* the resume feature; #4706 later added real provider-session resume six lines above and left the fallback in place. What remained fired whenever a workspace had no renderable tabs -- including when nothing had ever slept -- and reported itself as `request_kind: 'resume'` while resuming nothing, discarding any resumable session a plain tab close had already purged. No caller depends on it. All seven intent-carrying callers pass an explicit `startup` on the branch where they intend a launch, and every no-startup branch either declined an agent, already has one running (host `didSpawnStartup`), or is this same defect arriving over IPC. Drops the now-orphaned imports, retargets the stale comment in launch-work-item-direct that cited reopen-relaunch as the reason to persist `createdWithAgent`, and moves the WSL default-args quoting assertion to launch-agent-in-new-tab, whose launch path still resolves those args. Regression tests are revert-sensitive -- all four fail if the fallback returns. * test(activation): name the relaunch regression tests after what they reach Three tests were named after scenarios they never invoked, which is the failure mode that lets a coverage gap read as closed. - The "host-originated" test's `notifyHostRuntime: false` is inert here: both gates resolve through `isWebRuntimeSessionActive`, false with no runtime environment seeded, so it was byte-identical to the plain reopen test. It no longer claims to cover the host `didSpawnStartup` leg, which lives in main and is unreachable from this layer. - The "post-delete focus handoff" test never deleted anything and never touched `prepareActiveWorktreeFocusAfterDelete`. That caller is asserted directly in active-worktree-focus-after-delete.test.ts, which locks out any opts. - The activate/close loop resets state instead of calling `closeTab`, so it does not exercise the sleeping-record purge its comment claimed. Also folds the primary reopen test onto `seedEmptyActivatableWorktree` — the fixture extracted for exactly that state, which its inline copy had drifted from by hardcoding a POSIX repo path. `preflight` is dropped from the launch-work-item-direct comment: the trust preflight reads the create-time argument (worktree-remote.ts), not the persisted meta. Removal safety and ownership do read the field and remain accurate. Renames the ported quoting test to what it pins. Under vitest's node environment `navigator.userAgent` carries no "Windows", so platform resolution bails before the WSL branch and the WSL preference is inert — the real coverage is single-quote escaping of user-configured agentDefaultArgs. * transfer large terminal history seeds across bounded protocol messages - Oversized cold-restore snapshots (>1MB) now upload via chunked startHistorySeedTransfer/appendHistorySeedTransfer protocol instead of inline, avoiding NDJSON line-size violations - Checkpoints automatically trim oldest rows to fit within configured byte limit (200MB) before commit - Protocol v30 required for chunked transfers; v29 daemons gracefully fall back to renderer-only recovery - NDJSON encodeNdjson() validates line size and rejects oversized payloads; notifications silently swallow encoding errors * fix(daemon): drop held output when teardown checkpoint fails to serializ When a final snapshot checkpoint fails to serialize (returns retryable), the pending output records must not be appended later—doing so would splice them over the seq gap left by the failed snapshot, defeating gap detection. Drop the records and retry the checkpoint instead. * Bump daemon protocol version to 30 * Bump daemon protocol version to 30

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.
