worktree-term: a terminal whose shell exits cleanly closes its tab - #16
Typing exit or Ctrl-D, or quitting an agent cleanly, used to leave a dead "(exited)" tab that had to be closed by hand. Now a terminal whose process exits with code 0 and no signal is closed by the daemon itself. Its tab disappears from every page, and in a split the other half takes its place. A failed exit (non-zero code or a signal) behaves as before: the tab stays, marked failed, with its screen readable until the user closes it.
Before: exit in the only terminal of a worktree leaves a grey "(exited)" tab.
After: the tab goes, and the "Start a terminal" choices take the keyboard focus, so pressing 1 starts the first preset straight away. The same happens after closing the last running terminal and confirming. If the focus is elsewhere, for example in the worktree search, it stays there.
How
Daemon.closeTerm, removeWorktree and a clean exit now all end terminals through one path, retire. It closes the processes, prunes and saves each affected worktree's layout once, sends layoutChanged, then termClosed, then prunes state. If the layout cannot be saved, the failure is reported and termClosed is still sent. removeWorktree now also clears the removed worktree's layout, which its hand-written copy skipped. A clean exit while hidden no longer sets unseen, so the terminal simply vanishes.
Protocol.DAEMON_PROTOCOL_VERSION goes from 6 to 7 and no message shape changes. A daemon still running the old behaviour therefore shows as outdated and can be restarted from the page, instead of the feature silently not applying. Restarting ends that daemon's terminals, as the existing restart dialog says.
Web. The grey "exited" attention mark is gone, since any exited terminal the page still shows is a failed one. Status text reads "exited with code N" or "killed by SIGNAL".
The full spec delta, design decisions and tasks are in openspec/changes/dev-2151-worktree-term-a-terminal-whose-shell-exits-cleanly-closes/.
Also in this PR
test/process/hub-router-opening.test.ts › rebinds a host whose port changed failed once under full-suite load. It checked that the retired tunnel's port refused connections, but once the hub frees that port, any other process may bind it, for example a concurrent test run in another worktree, whose port ranges overlap. The test now holds a connection through the old listener and asserts that the hub closes it.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Terminals now close automatically after a successful shell exit, disappear from layouts, and leave failed exits clearly marked.
When the last terminal closes, preset choices return, with keyboard focus restored where appropriate.
Added a development restart command with options to keep the daemon running or skip opening the browser.
Bug Fixes
Terminal cleanup now updates layouts and notifies watchers when shells exit successfully.
Reduced-motion preferences are respected when toggling the checked-only filter.
Documentation
Added setup guidance for the development restart command and desktop launcher.

The daemon now retires terminals after clean exits and retains failed exits. The web updates exit marks and focus behavior, and the daemon protocol version advances to 7. The PR also adds a development restart script and updates architecture tooling and metadata.
Changes: Terminal Exit Lifecycle
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Lifecycle requirements and protocol version openspec/changes/dev-2151-.../*, src/protocol/*, src/cli/run.test.ts, test/process/{cli,connect,daemon-server-startup,install-local}.test.ts
OpenSpec documents terminal lifecycle, web behavior, protocol versioning, and hub restart requirements. The daemon protocol version and related expectations change from 6 to 7; the browser protocol remains at 10.
Daemon retirement and exit handling src/daemon/server/*, src/daemon/terminals/*, test/process/daemon-terminals-*.test.ts, test/process/daemon-worktrees.test.ts, test/process/hub-router-*.test.ts
Clean exits retire terminals, update layouts, broadcast termClosed, and prune repository state. Failed exits remain represented and emit termExited. Tests cover notifications, persistence, final output, unseen state, and worktree pruning.
Web exit marks and focus src/web/main/styles.css, src/web/ui/*, test/e2e/{attention,closing,contract,splits,terminals,sidebar}.spec.ts, test/e2e/contract.ts
Exited terminals use the failed mark and display their exit code. The separate exited mark is removed. Preset choices receive initial focus only when the worktree becomes empty and focus remains on the page body or is absent. Reduced-motion styles disable transitions for the star-filter switch.
Development Restart Script
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Restart workflow and usage scripts/wtd-dev-restart, README.md
The script builds the checkout, stops configured processes, starts the hub and Vite, waits for listeners, and optionally opens the login URL. The README documents options and desktop launcher setup.
Architecture Tooling and Metadata
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Architecture tooling and references .github/actions/setup/action.yml, README.md, architecture/*, living-architecture.yaml
The setup action and README install living-architecture@0.4.1 with npm. Diagram mappings use TypeScript-prefixed filenames, C4 nodes no longer include arc42 references, and the living architecture file declares format version 0.4.0.

Review comments at @living-architecture.yaml:
- Line 1: Remove the top-level format field from the architecture configuration
so it conforms to the schema accepted by la-arch-check.
Review comments at @scripts/wtd-dev-restart:
- Line 104: Update the readiness check using wait_port and VITE_PORT to verify
that the newly started Vite process serves the port, rather than accepting any
listener; only report readiness and open the page after confirming Vite owns the
listener.
- Around line 76-77: Update the hub shutdown flow using `hub_pid` and `stop_pid`
to authenticate the hub through its identity and shutdown endpoints, then wait
for its recorded port to close; do not signal a PID read from `hub.json`.
- Around line 79-84: Update the socket filter in the daemon scan inside the
`keep_daemon` block to select only entries under `$STATE/run/` with the `.sock`
suffix, excluding SSH control sockets named `ssh-%C`; preserve the existing PID
extraction and `stop_pid` flow.
Review comments at @test/process/hub-router-opening.test.ts:
- Line 584: Update the `oldClosed` wait in the test so it resolves only from a
`close` listener and does not reject if the socket emits `error` first. Preserve
the existing resolved value and the test’s closure assertion.

…motion, deduplicated tests
- CI installs living-architecture 0.4.1 from npm, which reads the format living-architecture.yaml records
- wtd-dev-restart stops the hub through its authenticated API, skips SSH control sockets, refuses a
non-Vite process on the Vite port and waits for the new Vite to own it
- retire prunes layouts without awaiting in a loop; closeTerm's layout write failure is tested
- the starred switch does not animate under prefers-reduced-motion
- shared helpers replace duplicated test setup
This PR closes terminals after clean exits and removes the separate “exited” mark. Line 18 still says terminals live until explicitly closed or their worktree is removed. Line 145 still lists “exited” as a mark. Update both descriptions to match the new behavior.
