* feat(native-chat): restore the terminal/chat switcher for bridge chat only #16729 removed every user-facing terminal<->chat switching affordance as a side effect of the structured Codex restructure ("renderer switching affordances and their dead leftovers"). That was right for structured Codex sessions, which render their own transcript with no live TUI underneath, but it also took the switcher away from bridge native chat, which still reads the terminal and has one to return to. Restore all four surfaces, each gated so structured sessions keep the removal: - pane header chat/terminal button (TerminalPaneHeaderOverlay) - pane context-menu "Switch to chat/terminal view" (TerminalContextMenu) - tab context-menu equivalent (SortableTabContextMenu) - the keyboard chord, whose hook had survived uncalled since #16729 Gating is one rule in one place: `canSwitchNativeChatView` refuses whenever a `structuredSessionId` is present, over the existing `canToggleNativeChat` eligibility. Standalone structured tabs are already excluded by the `contentType === 'terminal'` check; the new guard covers a terminal tab that adopted a structured session. The shortcut hook applies the same rule. The state plumbing (`viewMode`, `setTabViewMode`, `toggleTabViewMode`, host mirroring, `native_chat_toggled` telemetry) was never removed, so this rewires live actions rather than reintroducing logic. SortableTab.tsx sat exactly at its 400-line cap, so its inline-rename state and the window rename-request listener move to `use-sortable-tab-rename.ts` to make room. No behavior change; its rename tests pass unmodified. Two ratchets move for real, explained in place: - store-subscription budget: per-pane listeners stay pinned at 17 (the folded action bundle is still one listener); only the counterfactual pre-fold constant grows 48 -> 49 for the added `toggleTabViewMode` key. - hook-order parity: 204 -> 208 hooks for the four added `useCallback`s, useMemo count unchanged at 8. * fix(native-chat): restore bridge chat escape hatch * test: update pane agent identity inventory --------- Co-authored-by: Merge Sim <sim@local>
