Jinwoo HongandClaude Opus 5.5 eefc49f7e3 feat(terminal): warn when a typed Codex joins Codex's shared server (STA-9051) (#24217)
* feat(terminal): warn when a typed Codex joins Codex's shared server

Orca adds --no-daemon to the Codex it launches and to a codex typed in
shells whose wrapper it controls, but a codex typed another way (fish,
cmd.exe, a path-named binary) still joins Codex's shared server, which
mixes up agent status across tabs.

When a local pane's Codex is on that server, show a banner at the top of
the pane with the command that turns auto-start off, a Copy button,
"Don't show again" (a new setting next to the Codex server setting) and
a per-pane dismiss. The banner takes layout space; the terminal refits
below it.

Main answers pty:isCodexOnSharedServer from the pane's outermost Codex
command line (flags and subcommands that keep Codex embedded rule it
out), the CODEX_HOME the pane launched with, and whether that home's
server is live: a socket connect on macOS/Linux, the server's pid record
plus creation time on Windows. The renderer asks only while the pane
already shows Codex, on a short bounded ladder.

* feat(terminal): redesign the Codex shared-server banner and fix dialog

* feat(terminal): let the Codex shared-server fix run its commands

The fix dialog now runs each step with the shared server's own Codex on the
pane's CODEX_HOME, verifies the result (feature read back, server probed),
and falls back to a copyable command on failure. Stopping asks first.

Also: an apostrophe in a prompt no longer hides an opt-out flag, restored
panes fall back to the saved pty id, and the IPC guards have a table test.

* feat(terminal): give each fix step its own card and label the command it runs

* refactor(terminal): simplify the Codex shared-server banner after review

- Read a subcommand only from Codex's first positional, so prompt words
  like "a", "update" or "review" no longer hide the banner.
- Probe the server fresh on every ask; drop the probe cache.
- Make the pty preload methods required and stub them on the web client,
  replacing the optional-method and paired-client checks.
- Render the banner from the existing Codex pane portal loop.
- Treat a non-zero or timed-out Codex command as failed; skip the
  read-back when the disable write failed.
- Reserve the banner's space with a CSS :has() selector instead of a
  data attribute.

* fix(terminal): make the Codex shared-server fix persist on Orca's mirror home

- Step 1 now writes daemon_auto_start = false to the user's own Codex home
  when the pane runs on Orca's shared mirror home (as Windows panes do), then
  to the mirror home too; the mirror is rebuilt from the user's home on every
  launch, so a mirror-only write was lost.
- The server probe is three-state (live / absent / unknown); stop reports
  success only once the server is proven gone.
- The banner retires the one-time "runs Codex without its shared server"
  toast it contradicts.
- A command line with no Codex program never counts as joining the server.
- The fallback local PTY provider reports each pane's root pid.

* fix(codex): keep Turn off in Orca's Codex home when ~/.codex has no config

A pane on Orca's mirror home wrote the setting to ~/.codex first. With no
~/.codex the spawn failed on its cwd and Codex rejects a missing CODEX_HOME;
and creating a config holding only this setting would make the next mirror
replace every setting made in Orca's Codex. The mirror skips a missing or
blank ~/.codex/config.toml, so write only the mirror home then.

* feat(codex): promote [features].daemon_auto_start from Orca's Codex home

Promotion now carries one [features] key alongside the [tui] keys, so a
shared-server Turn off written in Orca's mirror home reaches
~/.codex/config.toml instead of being reverted by the next mirror. Table
keys share one <table>.<key> scan for read, removal and upsert. Orca's own
daemon socket override is never read as a user value, and a blank source
config is seeded from the runtime like a missing one.

* refactor(codex): run Turn off once, in the pane's own Codex home

Settings promotion now carries the setting to ~/.codex, so the separate
settings-home resolution and the two-home loop are gone.

* fix(terminal): offer Stop server only after sharing is turned off

Stopping while sharing is still on closes every sharing session, and the
next Codex starts a new shared server.

* fix(terminal): skip legacy mirror panes off Windows and quoted dotted keys

A retained shared-home pane on macOS/Linux points at a mirror that is no
longer promoted, so Turn off there would be reverted; name no home for it.
A quoted top-level key such as "tui.theme" is one key, not [tui].theme.

* fix(terminal): drop the Turn off note that promised the setting reaches Codex outside Orca

Orca's tabs are what this fix is for; carrying the setting to ~/.codex is best-effort.

* fix(terminal): keep the Turn off note that the setting also applies outside Orca

It holds for nearly everyone; the rare Windows upgrade gaps don't justify hiding it.

* fix(codex): promote Turn off to ~/.codex under an older Orca's baseline

A pane on Orca's Windows mirror home writes daemon_auto_start = false into
the mirror. A promotion baseline from an Orca that predates this key has no
entry for it, so the next mirror pass kept the write as a conflict and then
recorded it, and ~/.codex never got the setting.

Turn off on a mirror-home pane now runs the same mirror pass a terminal
launch runs before and after the write: the first records the key in the
baseline, the second promotes the write to ~/.codex. The passes are
synchronous, so they cannot interleave with a launch's pass. A failed pass is
logged and does not fail Turn off, since the write still fixes Orca's tabs.
Real-home panes are unchanged.
