What & why

Two composer/session bugs:

Agent list never updates. React Query on native cannot see app focus unless focusManager is wired to AppState — it never was, so no query in the app ever refetched on foregrounding. The composer's agent list (fetched once at launch for the default target, usually your own machine) stayed frozen until an app restart. This wires focusManager in RootLayout, and moves the three copy-pasted host-agent-config queries into one useHostAgentConfigs hook with refetchOnWindowFocus: "always" — mirroring desktop's useV2AgentConfigs reasoning: agent edits happen on another machine while this app is backgrounded, so refocusing is the earliest moment the fresh list can matter.

New terminal doesn't activate. The workspace + sheet lands back via dismissTo with the new session in ?tab= before the terminals query has heard of the session. The adopt effect set the fresh id, but the pin-active effect (added so sessions-sheet reordering doesn't switch the watched terminal) immediately re-asserted the old tab, and by the time the row arrived the adoption was already lost — the new session never activated. The two effects are now one: a ?tab= is adopted exactly once, when its row arrives, and outranks the pin within the same commit.

How I tested it

  • bun test in apps/mobile (37 pass)
  • bun run lint clean; mobile typecheck errors identical to main's known shared-package leaks (none in app code)

Summary by cubic

Fixes two mobile session bugs: agent lists now refresh when the app regains focus, and a newly created terminal activates its tab once the row appears; a manual tab pick now cancels that pending auto-adoption. Previously lists stayed frozen after backgrounding and the new tab often failed to activate.

  • Wire @tanstack/react-query focusManager to AppState in RootLayout so queries refetch on foreground; this unconditionally refetches on focus and may increase network calls.
  • Replace three copy-pasted agent-config queries with a shared useHostAgentConfigs hook (refetchOnWindowFocus: "always", networkMode: "always") and a stable getHostAgentConfigsQueryKey; adopt in NewChatWidget, AgentPickerScreen, and NewSessionSheet; skip cloud targets.
  • In WorkspaceScreen, merge tab adoption and pinning into one effect: adopt ?tab= exactly once when its row arrives; a manual tab pick consumes a pending adoption; then pin the active tab to prevent reordering from switching focus.

Written for commit 4e529e4. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mobile app centralizes host agent configuration queries, synchronizes React Query focus with native app state, and coordinates workspace terminal selection with pending deep links.

Changes

Host agent configuration flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native app focus synchronization
apps/mobile/screens/RootLayout/RootLayout.tsx
React Query focus state follows React Native AppState and is active only when the app is active.
Shared host agent configuration hook
apps/mobile/screens/(authenticated)/hooks/useHostAgentConfigs/*
The shared hook defines query keys, conditional host requests, one-minute staleness, focus refetching, network-only behavior, and empty results without a host URL.
Host agent query integration
apps/mobile/screens/(authenticated)/(home)/home/components/NewChatWidget/NewChatWidget.tsx, apps/mobile/screens/(authenticated)/(home)/new-session/agent/AgentPickerScreen.tsx, apps/mobile/screens/(authenticated)/workspace/[id]/new-session/NewSessionSheet.tsx
The screens now load host agent configurations through useHostAgentConfigs with the selected machine ID and host URL.

Workspace terminal selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Coordinated terminal selection
apps/mobile/screens/(authenticated)/workspace/[id]/WorkspaceScreen/WorkspaceScreen.tsx
Manual terminal selection now marks pending deep links as handled before updating the selected terminal.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4e529

The PR refreshes mobile agent lists when the app regains focus and reliably activates newly created terminal tabs; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

…rminal tab

React Query never saw app focus on native — focusManager was unwired, so no
query refetched on foregrounding and the composer's agent list stayed frozen
from app launch. Wire focusManager to AppState, and give the three host
agent-config queries one shared hook that refetches unconditionally on focus,
since agent edits happen on the desktop while this app is backgrounded.

The + sheet's dismissTo lands with the new session in ?tab= before the
terminals query has heard of it, and the pin-active effect re-asserted the old
tab in the same commit the fresh row arrived — the new session never
activated. Merge adoption and pin into one effect that adopts a ?tab= once
its row arrives, so the fresh terminal wins over the pin exactly once.

row is pending: update the terminal-selection handler used by TerminalTabs to
record the current pending params.tab in a dismissed-tab ref when the user
selects another terminal, and make the adoption effect skip that dismissed tab
