The queued-chord concern reproduces. A second The fix captures the originating attachment and PTY, then rechecks identity, sender membership and readiness after queue waiting. A stale chord returns Three live contract tests cover those two cancellation cases and an unchanged attachment that still sends the queued chord. Before the fix, both cancellation tests failed; all three now pass. Typecheck, 1,162 unit tests and the mobile legacy/Kitty modifier regression also pass. The wider API/lifecycle run passed 90 tests and failed the existing covered-attach resize test, waiting for I have left the docstring coverage warning unchanged: it does not identify a behavior defect or a specific missing explanation. |

Fixed the residual queued-text concern from the architecture review in ecf87df. Raw text queued behind a chord now captures and compares the sender’s attachment claim, so detach/reattach cannot revive it while a peer keeps the PTY alive. The regression failed before the fix: |
## Change The mobile terminal key bar had a fixed set and order, with Settings only showing optional keys. Settings → Appearance → Key bar now has a compact **Edit key bar** entry that opens a dedicated editor. - Add, remove and reorder every terminal key or held Ctrl/Alt/Shift button; register exact combinations such as Ctrl+W, including editing keys, F1–F12 and a single printable character. - Ordinary keys use the held modifiers; saved combinations send their configured modifiers. Removing a modifier button clears its held state. Existing extra-key settings migrate without changing their layout, an empty layout stays empty, and Restore defaults returns the original bar. - Back or Escape returns to the previous Settings scroll position and edit-button focus. Closing Settings resets the detail screen for the next open. - Preserve native clipboard shortcuts on Korean/Russian layouts and existing Alt combinations with ^D/^Z and Delete/Insert. This PR carries forward the sticky modifiers and attachment-claim protection from [#433](#433) by @nickadminroot, then adds customization and the reviewed input fixes. #433 remains open for the maintainer to reconcile after reviewing this combined change. ## Review fixes after `71080de` Added in the merge session, each with a test that fails on the code before it: - `ecb25a0` a held-modifier key the terminal cannot take now (not ready, disconnected) shows the not-sent banner instead of vanishing; `sticky-modifiers-regression.ts` drops the page's input readiness over the intercepted socket and expects the banner and no frame (CodeRabbit on 71080de). - `471db0c` main merged in (#536); the CHANGELOG Fixed conflict keeps both bullets. - `c9130ec` with Ctrl held, a physical key on a Korean or Russian layout names the chord by its position (ㅊ on KeyC is ctrl+c, not ctrl+ㅊ), as the plain Ctrl path already reads it; the regression dispatches a Korean-layout Ctrl+C with Alt held and expects `ctrl+alt+c` (Codex). - `29a076d` a keys frame sent while its attach is still being looked up is answered `input_not_ready` instead of taking the unattached RPC path around the claim it would be checked against; the keys-lifecycle contract holds the lookup and expects the refusal (Codex). The three CodeRabbit threads from 2026-10-06 are answered and resolved: two fixed in `da80edc`, one on a file that is no longer part of this diff. Codex gpt-6.1-sol xhigh (read-only) over the full diff at `471db0c`: four Medium. Two fixed above; two are pre-existing paths this PR does not change and are filed: #545 (authority can lapse between the check and the RPC write) and #546 (mirrored-pane typing is not cancelled by a detach or reattach). Found sound: claims cancel queued chords and text across detach, reattach and replacement; no replay after reconnect; paste and deferred IME commits bypass held modifiers; migration, Restore defaults and malformed JSON; Settings Back/close/Escape. Known and left as is (Low): the demo shell's `chordText` applies Ctrl to letters only (Ctrl+[ types `[` in the demo), and the sticky regression creates `UI_EVIDENCE_DIR` before its try block. ## Validation Head `29a076d` on main `77e5430` (merge-base = main). CI on `471db0c` passed all three jobs on the first attempt; CI on `29a076d` is linked from the checks tab. In the merge session, on `29a076d` (Bun 1.4.2, herdr 0.9.3, own herdr test session): typecheck; unit i18n/keys/keyBar/settings/ws (98 pass); `server/keys-lifecycle.contract.test.ts` 12 pass; `bun run build` then `scripts/sticky-modifiers-regression.ts` legacy and kitty PASS. Each new test was also run on the code before its fix and seen failing. At `71080de` in the review session: typecheck, unit (1573 pass), keys-lifecycle contract (11), ui-regression (79 PASS), sticky-modifiers and key-bar demo regressions. At the original head (macOS): generated-type check, typecheck and production build; unit suite 1,462 passed / 15 skipped; attachment/key lifecycle contract 11 passed; custom key-bar demo regression all five groups on a 390 × 844 touch viewport; legacy and Kitty sticky-modifier regression with real PTY bytes, all seven modifier combinations, native paste, dropped text, IME commits, hardware/touch combinations and disconnect reset. Not verified: physical phones and hardware keyboards on real non-Latin layouts (the layout case is a dispatched event); native Windows. `server/index.ts` changed, so remote PCs get the cancellation guards only with the next remote bundle (`REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION`). #433 stays open and is superseded once this merges.

Superseded by #508, which shipped the mobile key bar editor in v0.4.0 (released 2026-10-08). The behaviour asked for here is covered by that change, so this issue is closed as superseded rather than fixed on its own. |
Change
The mobile terminal has two input paths. The input line now explains that the keyboard button enables direct TUI input, while the line supports paste, voice and swipe typing. The hint is translated into Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
The sticky Ctrl/Alt/Shift controls and attachment-claim protections originally developed in this PR have been carried into main by #508, with contributor credit. This branch retains that implementation and its key-bar customization and input fixes. The remaining change is the input-mode hint and the browser resize check needed when the longer hint wraps.
Closes #431.
Validation
e4f0f3e; production build passed on90d818c.e4f0f3e: 1,634 passed, 4 skipped. Three CI-isolation tests rejected the long temporary-directory path; rerunning their file with a shorter path passed all 7 tests.90d818c, including mobile terminal input, direct typing and pane geometry after the longer hint wraps. The next merge conflicted only in the changelog./tmpwrite quota (EDQUOT).The user tested direct TUI input on a physical phone before requesting this PR. The installed fork was not replaced during this update.
