l0ng-ai 382a46ac29 refactor(server): retire the opaque workspace record store
Clients stopped sending WorkspaceList/Get/Put/Delete when the tree
migration landed, so the coexistence scaffolding comes out:

- core::workspace_store is deleted. Attachment and the data-directory
  resolution (TTY7_DATA_DIR, XDG fallback chain) move into
  core::machine, which was already their only consumer; Attachment
  loses its vestigial serde derives (it never crosses disk or wire).
- The control dialect drops the four record verbs, the ReplyOk::Json
  payload they answered with, and the WorkspaceChanged event. Their
  serde names (and the workspace-store capability bit) are recorded as
  burned rather than reserved by any mechanism — the dialect has no
  numbered slots to hold, so a comment at each site is the guard, plus
  the handshake test asserting the bit never reappears.
- host::server loses Services.workspaces, the verb arms, the
  per-connection store subscription and its WorkspaceChanged forwarder,
  and the store half of attach/detach/teardown. Attachment data now
  lives solely in the tree: a workspace the tree does not list records
  no data half (the registry's live handles still move, so takeover
  behaviour is unchanged), and it appears the moment the workspace
  does. Services::with_workspaces/and_machine collapse into
  with_machine; control_services becomes a single match.
- The attach/takeover tests move onto MachineStore wholesale, attaching
  to workspaces created in a real tree; the record-store round-trip and
  fan-out tests go (tests/machine_tree.rs has carried the tree
  equivalents since the verbs landed), and tests/workspace_store.rs is
  deleted with the serde_json dev-dependency that existed only for it.
  machine.rs gains the two guarantees the old suite held uniquely: an
  attachment dies with its workspace structurally, and the default path
  resolution ends at the documented file.
- The GUI's dead WorkspaceChanged arm and every stale doc reference go.

l0ng-ai 7c3e42999f feat(control): let clients mint workspace and tab identities on create
A window names its workspace — in the registry, the view file, and any
operation it queues — before its first round trip completes, and the same
holds for a tab the moment the user opens it. Making the daemon the only
minter would force every client to hold its edits until a reply carried
the real id back. Ids are uuids, so a client-minted one is as unique as a
daemon-minted one; WorkspaceCreate and TabCreate now carry an optional
client id, keep it when it is free, and refuse a duplicate rather than
adopt it. Absent (older callers, tests) the daemon mints as before.

l0ng-ai 324e1d1543 fix(core): review hardening for the machine-tree foundation
Findings from a correctness review of the new daemon-owned tree,
applied together:

- A dead pane can no longer be resurrected in the tree by its own last
  output. On Windows the exit monitor reports the death while the
  reader is still draining ConPTY's buffered bytes, and the death
  report is latched; the reader's 'output is proof of life' publish now
  asserts liveness only while the pane state still says alive.
- Delta delivery is ordered. Mutations were serialized by the state
  lock but delivered after releasing it, so one writer's deltas could
  overtake another's and leave every mirroring client on the losing
  state with no cue to re-pull. A notify-order mutex now spans each
  mutation and its own fan-out; cheap, because subscriber callbacks are
  enqueue-only by contract.
- Implicit active-tab changes broadcast. tab_create's activation and
  the close paths' heal now emit ActiveTabChanged, so a client applying
  deltas never re-implements the server's heal rule; the one
  inexpressible case (no tabs) needs no delta because it is a fact,
  not surgery.
- The coarse agent status no longer drives disk writes: it flips per
  hook event and is display-only, so it is outside the changed-facts
  gate and merely rides along when a load-bearing fact changes.
- control_services reports which stores it serves on stderr again —
  tty7-server configures no log sink, and 'no machine tree' was
  invisible exactly where it matters, on a headless box.
- The local link's first connect attempt is immediate instead of one
  backoff step late; the observation-slot test withdraws its store so
  it cannot swallow later tests' observations; and locked()'s poison
  rationale now says what is actually guaranteed.

l0ng-ai 0d58eef4bc feat(control): attachment and takeover ride the machine tree too
WorkspaceAttach / WorkspaceDetach (and the hello-names-a-workspace
shorthand) now record their data half on whichever workspace stores the
server carries: the retired record store, the machine tree, or — on a
full daemon while clients migrate — both, since they describe the same
workspace. The behavioural contract is untouched and now survives the
record store's retirement: newcomer always wins, the displaced session
is pushed Preempted (and closed only when its link was dedicated), and
a preempted session's tidy-up detach cannot evict the usurper — the
token check lives in the tree's runtime-only attachment exactly as it
did in the store's. A server carrying neither store answers the same
refusal a store-less server always has.

WorkspaceId gains FromStr (the inverse of its Display) because the
attach verbs predate the typed tree and carry the id as a string. The
end-to-end test drives a takeover on a server serving the tree and no
record store at all, asserting the tree's own attachment record moves
with it.

l0ng-ai 57d72c91ad feat(control): machine-tree verbs and incremental Layout deltas
Teach the control dialect the semantic operations the machine tree
serves: MachineGet / WorkspaceTree pulls, WorkspaceCreate / Rename /
Remove / Touch / SetActiveTab, TabCreate / Close / Rename / Move /
SetGroup, and PaneSplit / Close / SetRatio / Move / Replace. Replies
carry the daemon's own tree types (a created workspace or tab comes
back whole; close operations answer the pane ids that left the tree so
the caller can kill their PTYs), and every operation broadcasts a
ControlEvent::Layout delta to every connection but the writer's — the
same origin-exclusion mechanism the record store uses, one delta at a
time instead of whole-record last-writer-wins.

The server advertises a new 'machine-tree' capability bit only when it
actually carries a MachineStore; both daemons now do, alongside the
retired opaque record store, which keeps serving unchanged while
clients migrate. Delta fan-out rides its own bounded queue and
forwarder thread per connection, so a peer that stopped reading stalls
nobody's edit; the drop-on-overflow tradeoff is documented against the
keepalive that reaps such a peer and the full pull every reconnect
starts with.

The request/reply/event enums lose their Eq derive: split ratios are
f32. End-to-end tests drive the shipped tty7-server binary over real
pipes: capability advertisement, tree ops landing in the server's own
file, dead-pane revival across a real process restart, and delta
delivery between two live clients.

l0ng-ai bbeeec51d7 refactor(daemon): share one run_daemon between tty7 and tty7-server
Extract the control-listener-plus-pane-server startup from tty7-server
into tty7_core::daemon::server::run_daemon, and point both binaries at
it. The local daemon now serves the control dialect exactly like a
remote one: one machine = one daemon, whichever binary happens to be
running it.

The bound control socket (and a bind failure) is still reported on
stderr with the historical 'tty7-server:' prefix — a headless server's
log file is off by default, and the remote_router test reads that exact
line back to prove the client derivation and the server bind agree.

l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai bed22d899e Keep workspaces whole: remote reopen/restart recovery, and cross-workspace restore guards (#257)
* feat(remote): keep a remote workspace whole across reopens and restarts

Reopening a remote workspace — or coming back to one whose `tty7-server`
had been replaced — landed on a screen of `tty7 — disconnected` panes with
their coding-agent conversations gone. Several independent holes added up
to that; this closes them together, and picks up the surrounding work the
same session produced.

**Telling a restarted server from a blinked link.** `ControlHelloOk` now
carries an `instance` minted once per server *process*. Nothing else in
the handshake changes across a restart — `build` and both dialect numbers
survive it — so a reconnect had no way to know its `pane_id`s were dead.
It does now: a different instance rebuilds the window from its layout
(same tabs and splits, fresh shells in the saved cwds) instead of
re-attaching to a process that is gone. An absent instance means *unknown*
and is never read as a restart.

**An attach can now fail.** `Attach` has no synchronous reply, so the
client returned `Ok` unconditionally and the daemon's `Error` frame was
read much later by the reader thread, which has no arm for it — the pane
then landed in the *link is down* state instead of falling back to a fresh
shell. The client now reads far enough into the reply to classify it on
the kind byte (the snapshot behind it can be megabytes) and hands those
bytes to the reader thread, so a successful attach loses none of its
replay. Local and remote attaches get different waits: the local one is on
the UI thread.

**The agent session survives to be resumed.** `TerminalView` raises
`AgentSessionChanged` when the pane's agent reports a new native session
id, so the layout on file catches up instead of waiting for the user to
happen to open a tab. A pane that is still connecting now carries its
agent through `PendingSpawn` — a save landing in that window used to write
`agent: null` over the record — and `land_pane` sends `--resume` when the
attach turned out to need a fresh shell.

**Ending sessions says so on file.** "End Sessions" kills the panes and
then drops their ids from the record, pushing the cleared layout to the
machine that owns it (design §10: the remote's copy wins, so a local-only
clear would be undone by the next open — the open this exists for).

**The new-tab dropdown lists the window's machine.** `Host::shells` and a
`Shells` control request (dialect v2) make the "+" menu a property of the
machine the window is bound to. A remote window filled from this
computer's `/etc/shells` offered `/bin/zsh` on a box whose zsh is
elsewhere, and every pick failed to spawn.

**An install reports its bytes.** The download and the SFTP upload each
report progress, relayed to the client over the routed connection as a
`RoutePrompt::InstallProgress`, and painted as a bar under the machine's
row in the switcher. ~8 MB across two hops behind the word "connecting…"
was indistinguishable from a hang.

**The installer compares dialects, not version strings.** `tty7-server
--protocol` prints what a binary speaks without starting it, so a connect
adopts an already-running server it can talk to rather than prompting
about a build difference and uploading 8 MB the machine did not need.

**Switcher.** A machine's `⋯` menu holds "New Workspace" (it was a row
under every machine, pushing the list a quarter of a card down) and a new
"Disconnect", which drops the connection and leaves the windows open and
read-only. The suspension lasts exactly as long as that machine has a
window on it.

Also drops three design/contract docs for the now-shipped remote-workspace
work.

* fix(session): stop one workspace's panes from being restored into another

A restart put a copy of one workspace's seven tabs — cwds, layout and
recorded agent sessions — in front of another workspace's own tabs, and
auto-resumed every one of those agents a second time: six `claude
--resume <id>` pairs running in parallel against the same conversations,
one set per window. The record-level corruption that seeded it is still
unattributed, but every mechanism that let it propagate, amplify, or go
unnoticed is closable, and this closes them.

**Panes now know their owner.** `Spawn` can carry the workspace the pane
is created for; the daemon stores it immutably and reports it in
`List`'s `PaneInfo.owner`. Restore refuses to re-attach a pane another
workspace owns (`pane_attachable`) — before this, a saved id landing on
somebody else's live pane attached silently, which is how one window
could pick up another's shells. The field rides a new `SPAWN_OWNED`
frame with a struct payload (the legacy spawn payloads are positional
tuples an old daemon cannot grow), gated on a new `pane-owner` feature
string: a client only sends it to a daemon that advertises it, so the
legacy kinds stay byte-for-byte what old daemons expect. A pane with no
recorded owner stays attachable by anyone — that is the pre-field
behavior, not a new risk.

**Saved pane ids are bound to the daemon process that issued them.**
`DaemonVersion` now carries an `instance` minted once per process (the
local twin of the control hello's), the GUI caches it at the
`ensure_running` handshake, and each local workspace records it as
`daemon_instance` beside its layout. Claiming a workspace whose ids came
from a different instance blanks them first: daemon pane ids restart
from 1, so after a reboot every saved id points at whatever unrelated
shell holds the number now, and the aliveness check cannot tell a
survivor from a squatter. A blank on either side means "cannot tell" and
never trips it. Unlike the duplicate-claim case below, this path keeps
the agent resume — the pane is genuinely gone with its daemon, and the
fresh shell resuming the conversation is the feature.

**A duplicate claim loses its agent resume along with its pane id.**
`dedupe_pane_ids` kept the loser's layout *and* its
`agent_session_id`, so the blanked leaves took restore's spawn-fresh
path and auto-typed `claude --resume` for conversations the winning
workspace's panes were still running — the doubling above. The winner
keeps the panes and the resume; the loser keeps only cwds.

**Cross-workspace saves are caught at the write.** Every terminal view
remembers the workspace whose window created it, and `save_session`
logs an error naming both ids if a window ever records a pane created
for a different workspace — the tripwire for the still-unattributed
seed corruption, so a recurrence is caught in the act instead of
reconstructed from `session.json` archaeology days later.

Wire compatibility both ways: `PaneInfo.owner`, `DaemonVersion.instance`
and `Workspace.daemon_instance` are `#[serde(default)]` struct fields
(old peers' JSON decodes, new fields are ignored by old readers), and
`SPAWN_OWNED` is feature-gated as above. `daemon_instance` is
client-owned in the design-§10 storage split — it names the local
daemon, and the field-census test pins the classification.

* fix(session): resume the agent when a local pane dies mid-restore

`session_to_pane` decided whether to send a coding agent's `--resume`
from `restore.is_none()` — i.e. from whether the pane looked alive when
the restore started. But `alive_panes_on` runs one `List` at the top of
the restore, while the attaches happen per leaf afterwards. A pane that
exited in between failed its attach, fell back to a fresh shell inside
`spawn_shell_terminal_in`, and then landed in the `restore.is_some()`
arm: an empty shell with its conversation dropped.

`ShellParts.restored` already answers this exactly, and the remote path
already reads it in `land_pane`. Carry it onto `TerminalView` so the
synchronous local path can read it too, and branch on that instead of
re-deriving the answer from a set that may be stale by the time it is
used.

No behaviour change on the paths that were already correct: a view that
was never restoring anything reports `restored: false`, which is the
same answer `restore.is_none()` gave them.

* fix(remote): check the server instance against the record, not just memory

A remote workspace's pane ids were only guarded against server restarts
by `RemoteLinks::instances`, an in-memory map. On the first connect after
the client starts, every machine is a first sighting, so `server_restarted`
answers false — and a `tty7-server` that was replaced while the client was
closed sails straight through. Its pane ids restart from 1, so the saved
ones now name unrelated shells, and the reconnect attaches to them: the
exact id-reuse failure the local side already guards against.

`Workspace::daemon_instance` was local-only for the stated reason that a
remote server's identity is tracked live per connection. That tracking is
correct but not sufficient — it cannot survive the client restart that
makes the question worth asking.

So the field now means the same thing on both sides: which process minted
the pane ids in this record. `WorkspaceStore::serving_instance` picks the
local daemon or the far machine's server depending on the workspace, and
`finish_attempt` compares it per workspace before deciding to re-attach or
rebuild. It stays client-owned: it records what *this* client last saw, so
two clients on one remote workspace each keep their own and neither may
overwrite the other's.

An unreachable machine still records nothing, which is what keeps a good
stamp from being erased with `None` — that would disarm the next check.

Also in these three files: the §N references to the deleted design docs,
cleaned up as part of the sweep in the following commit.

* docs: drop the references to the deleted design documents

The three documents this branch removed were cited ~280 times: `design
§10`, `contract §8`, `§17` and friends in comments, five references by
file path in code and manifests, five in CI workflows and one in the
release skill. Every one of them now points at nothing.

Rewritten rather than merely stripped, because most were not decoration:
"design §10 makes the remote's `workspaces.json` the authority" becomes a
statement in its own right, and the several that carried a Chinese phrase
from the document as their justification say the same thing in English
instead. Where the reference was purely parenthetical it is simply gone.

Not touched: `PRD §7.1`, `brief §8` and the like, which name documents
this branch did not remove and were already external before it, and the
`RFC 4648 §10` test-vector citation, which is a real specification.

The `host boundary` CI job loses `(§10.6)` from its name. It is not one of
the required checks, so branch protection is unaffected.

l0ng-ai 0ec8e050ad fix(workspaces): make a handover atomic and stop two stores clobbering one file
The takeover moves two things — the `WorkspaceStore`'s record and the
server's `AttachRegistry` handle — and each was internally locked, which
is not the same as the pair moving together. Two clients attaching one
workspace at the same instant could each win a different table, after
which the store named a session the registry had already evicted and no
`detach` could clear it: the workspace reported a takeover against a
client that had disconnected hours ago. Both moves now happen under one
handover lock, dropped before the displaced client is written to so a
peer that has stopped reading still cannot hold up the next attach.

`WorkspaceDelete` had the same split with no race needed at all: the
store dropped its attachment and the registry kept its handle, so the
next client to attach that id evicted a session nobody displaced — and,
that entry being dedicated, closed its whole link.

Two `tty7-server --stdio` sessions arriving while no daemon was up each
served in-process, each with its own store over the one file. `persist`
writes the whole document, so the second to save silently dropped the
first's changes, and their separate registries made takeover a no-op
between them. The probe path now starts the daemon and bridges to it —
the rule `bridge_panes` already follows one dialect over — and the store
re-reads when the file has moved underneath it, which covers the cases
where two writers are deliberate.

`MAX_RECORD_BYTES` and `MAX_WORKSPACES` did not bound their product:
seventeen maximal records put the array past `MAX_FRAME`, after which
every `WorkspaceList` was unencodable and every client showed an empty
list. The document is now bounded at the save, and only when growing, so
an over-large file can still be deleted back under the limit.

l0ng-ai 26f3a73f58 fix(ci): gate the tty7-server test suites that need --stdio on Unix
`--stdio` is refused on Windows by design, and the control socket it
probes for is Unix-domain, so `stdio_conformance` and `workspace_store`
join `remote_router`/`routed_pane` in carrying a file-level `cfg(unix)`.

`cli.rs` keeps its argument-handling cases everywhere — `--version`,
`--help`, `agent-hook` and the usage error say nothing about transports
— and gates only the bridge and probe cases, which spawn a `--stdio`
child or stand up a listener.

l0ng-ai 208454e202 feat(remote): remote workspaces — a window that is one machine
Split the framework-free half of tty7 into `tty7-core` and add a headless
`tty7-server` built on it, so a workspace's filesystem, git and session state
can live on another machine while the GUI stays where it is.

- `crates/tty7-core`: wire protocol, session daemon, PTY, native SSH engine and
  the domain model, with no gpui dependency. Module paths are unchanged.
- `crates/tty7-server`: the same daemon with no GUI attached, linked fully
  static against musl and pushed onto the remote box. One dependency, on
  purpose — a second one the GUI also needs belongs in core.
- `Host` trait + `HostId`/`HostRegistry`: every fs/git/watch call a workspace
  makes goes through the machine it belongs to. `LocalHost` answers on this
  box, `RemoteHost` over a routed control connection.
- `ui::host_ops`: the GUI's single door to a `Host`. Host calls block, so all
  of them run on the background executor with the result landed on the UI
  thread; de-duplication, staleness and error reporting live here rather than
  at each call site. Enforced by a CI grep.
- Connect flow: home page → pick a configured SSH host → the machine's own
  workspace list → a window bound to one workspace on it. Workspace switcher
  groups by machine, this computer included.
- CI: static musl builds of `tty7-server` for x86_64/aarch64 via
  cargo-zigbuild, a host-boundary grep, and version stamping factored out of
  the nightly workflow. Both new jobs are non-required so branch protection
  does not wedge open PRs.

Design and the interface contract it was built to are in
`docs/2026-07-27-remote-workspace-{design,impl-contract}.md`.
