feat(sidebar): share read finishes between the browsers of a server - #1463
Conversation
A DONE opened on the phone is now read on the desktop too. Each browser sends a finish it presented to POST /api/seen; the server keeps the greatest finish per (PC, epoch, pane) in seen.json and hands the records to every browser as seen events on /api/machines/events. The rule for when a finish counts as read is unchanged.

- Around line 61-74: Add a streaming read helper near handleSeenRequest that
consumes request.body incrementally, cancels the reader, and returns null once
the accumulated byte length exceeds MAX_SEEN_BYTES; otherwise decode and return
the complete body, treating a missing body as empty. Update handleSeenRequest to
use this helper and preserve the existing 413 response when it returns null.

…esend one the server refused - POST /api/seen read the whole body before measuring it, so one request could make the server hold up to Bun's 64 MiB before the 413. A body announced over 8 KB is now refused unread and one that lies about its length is cut off as it arrives (CodeRabbit). - A send the server answered with an error (an unwritable state dir, a 400, a changed token) was sent again on every roster update while the pane stayed in front. Only a send that never reached the server is tried again; the read stays in this browser either way (omo review). Both new tests fail on a3089eb and pass here.
|
The merge pass pushed 9498d18 (pull before your next push): the 8 KB limit on POST /api/seen is enforced while reading (CodeRabbit's thread), and a send the server answered with an error is no longer resent on every roster update (omo's MEDIUM, reproduced: 20 roster updates made 21 POSTs). Only a send that never reached the server is retried. Two new tests; both fail on a3089eb. |
|
Merging 9498d18. Both gate reviewers (omo-native-code-reviewer and Codex) PASS on a3089eb and on the merge pass's delta 9498d18 (bounded body read, no resend of a refused share). CodeRabbit reviewed a3089eb; its one thread is fixed and resolved. Required checks green. Remaining findings are in a follow-up issue. |
…ledge the screen from before (#1472) ## Change Fixes item 1 of #1430 ("A recovery joiner acknowledges the previous answer"). A client that attaches to a pane while its attachment is recovering (the stream ended after it was ready, and the next attach has not taken yet: `ready: false, held: false`) received the retained replay and no readiness frame. The members already attached had heard `input-ready: false` and waited for fresh output, but the newcomer parsed the replay (the screen from before), reported presented content, and cleared the DONE dot of the current finish before its content arrived. With #1463 that early acknowledgement now reaches every browser of the server. - `server/core/terminal-process.ts`: an attachment remembers `recovering` when a ready stream ends, and clears it when an attach takes again. - `server/core/terminals.ts`: a newcomer to a recovering attachment gets `{ type: "output-recovering", pane_id }` before the replay. - `src/components/PaneTerminal.tsx`: `output-recovering` revokes presentation exactly like `input-ready: false` does for members; the next `input-ready` and then fresh output re-arm it. The stale comment that said readiness precedes replay (a #1430 smaller note) now describes the new frame. - `shared/protocol.ts`: the new server frame, documented as presentation only. The queued-input contract is unchanged: no early negative `input-ready` is sent, so nothing can take it for the attach-complete barrier. An older client ignores the unknown frame (today's behaviour); an older bridge never sends it (today's behaviour). DESIGN.md's paragraph that left this as follow-up work now describes it; changelog fragment `changelog.d/recovering-joiner-dot.md`. The other #1430 items are not touched. This adds a WebSocket frame, so it waits for a real CodeRabbit review. ## Validation - `server/core/terminals.test.ts`: an owner and an observer joining a recovering attachment get one `output-recovering` before the replay and no `input-ready`; the existing joiner cases now also assert no `output-recovering` outside recovery. Both new cases fail with the server change reverted. - `scripts/sidebar-activity-demo-regression.ts`, new `recovering-joiner` case: a page that first opens a DONE pane in Terminal while its attachment is recovering keeps the dot and presents no content from the replay, keeps it after `input-ready`, and acknowledges only after fresh output. It fails with the client change reverted ("a recovering joiner's replay is not the current screen"). The whole script passes (42 PASS). - `bun run check run bun test` on `submit`, `keys-lifecycle`, `pending-input`, `input-membership` and `reattach` contract tests: 165 pass, 0 fail. - `bun run check fast` after rebasing on #1463: workflow syntax, generated files, typecheck and build ok; unit tests 5,092 pass, 1 fail. The failure is `server/opencode.test.ts` timing out (75 s) while this PC ran at a load average of 35-68; the same file fails the same way on a clean `origin/main` checkout at that load (5 fail), so it is not from this change. The same check was fully green before the rebase (5,075 pass, 0 fail).
…1450) <!-- See CONTRIBUTING.md for checks, translations, contract tests and the changelog (a file in changelog.d/, never CHANGELOG.md). --> ## Change Until now a command sent from Chat became an ordinary bubble. Whether it ran, waited on a dialog or needed the terminal showed only when the agent wrote a transcript turn or one of a few screen-parsed cards matched. This PR (group C of the agent command capabilities plan, todos 21 to 25) follows each sent command from evidence and says on its bubble what became of it. It also adds three agent-specific cards on top of that. ### What changes for users - **Outcome on the sent bubble.** A chip under each command bubble shows one state: accepted, waiting for your answer (Answer focuses the card), done with the kind of evidence that showed it (transcript, card answered, result on screen), runs in the terminal (with Open Terminal), or unknown (no result seen). A typed-only command is never shown as done. - **Provisional sent rows.** A command the transcript keeps no turn for (Claude Code's `/btw`, informational commands) still gets a sent row, placed by send time. When a matching transcript turn appears later, the chip moves onto it and the provisional row goes away, so nothing shows twice. The transcript fallback draws the same chips and rows. - **Folded preview.** A terminal screen that changed after the send folds under the chip as "not confirmed". It's never a state and never proof the command finished. - **Claude `/goal` card (#1292).** A bare `/goal` shows the goal status (condition and elapsed time, or no goal set) in a card with Close only. - **Hermes result cards (#1172).** `/help`, `/status`, `/version`, `/profile` and `/reload-skills` show Hermes's own printed text in a card. Dismiss is local and sends nothing to the pane. - **omp `/handoff` from Chat (#800).** With or without focus instructions. While omp writes the handoff document, a card offers cancel; afterwards Chat stays on the same conversation, which omp compacts in place. - An outcome that changed the agent's catalog invalidates the pane's command list. ### How outcomes are decided - **Evidence only.** Idle, timers, unrecognized screen text and forms never set done. Done comes from a transcript entry, an answered card, a recognized result reader, or a native observer. - **Send-time anchor.** At send time the server snapshots the screen tail, cut above the reader's persistent bottom chrome (`DialogReader.chromeStart`, validated; a boundary that would hide a command echo is rejected). Only a recognized result below the new echo counts, so a result block already on screen doesn't resolve a new send. - **Ownership by exact echo count.** Sends own results in echo order. An extra echo of the same command makes the send ambiguous instead of guessing. Confirmed outcomes are sticky. - **Reservations apart from the display.** Pending sends are reserved independently of the five outcomes the response shows (cap 64, 10 minutes), so a sixth send can't steal an earlier send's evidence. - **Settled dialog form.** A dialog-form command whose screen settles without a recognized card or result becomes terminal-required, with Open Terminal. - **Observers.** Observe-role (read-only proxy) responses never carry previews or result text. ### Decisions for review - **Accepted limitation (plan amendment to todo 21).** If the same command is typed into the agent's own terminal after the Chat send, and its echo and result appear before the Chat echo, the two are indistinguishable on screen. The Chat send can then resolve with that command's result. - **Esc-row cancel or deny never counts as done.** Closing a status dialog (the `/goal` card's Close) does count as done, since nothing was being decided. - **Claude `/goal` is Close only.** Claude Code 2.1.304's dialog shows no clearing key (its hint reads "/goal clear to stop early · Esc to dismiss"), and sending `/goal clear` as text is out of bounds. Paused and achieved layouts weren't recorded and fall back to the terminal. - **Hermes catalog scans on every request.** That's the existing behavior; listing skills before Hermes has loaded them is a follow-up, not changed here. - **omp `/btw` stays terminal-required.** #1380 was closed without merging, so there's no side-store reader to use as evidence. - **Wire changes are optional.** `GET /api/pane/prompt` gains `outcomes` (typed with `PanePromptResponse`), and `CommandOutcome.result_text` is a new optional field. No route is added. Older clients ignore the fields. - **No `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` change.** `bun scripts/release-guards.ts --base origin/main`: "Not a release". This PR starts no merge freeze. - This PR changes an HTTP contract, so it waits for a real CodeRabbit review. ### Commits 1. `feat(chat)`: follow what a sent command did, from evidence only (todo 21) 2. `feat(chat)`: show what became of a sent command on its bubble (todo 22) 3. `feat(chat)`: a goal-status card for Claude Code's bare /goal (todo 23) 4. `feat(chat)`: show Hermes informational results in a card (todo 24) 5. `feat(chat)`: run omp's /handoff from Chat where its steps allow (todo 25) Changelog fragments: `changelog.d/command-outcomes.md`, `claude-goal-status-card.md`, `hermes-result-cards.md`, `omp-handoff-from-chat.md`. ## Validation - `bun run check fast` on each commit (detached worktree, fresh `bun install --frozen-lockfile`), all exit 0: | todo | commit | unit pass / fail (skip) | | --- | --- | --- | | 21 | c86923d | 5107 / 0 (8) | | 22 | ae13df4 | 5119 / 0 (8) | | 23 | 0637c2f | 5130 / 0 (8) | | 24 | 56599a2 | 5166 / 0 (8) | | 25 | 155860d | 5174 / 0 (8) | - `bun run check fast` at head 155860d: exit 0 (unit 5174 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 378 files; workflow syntax, generated types and themes, typecheck and build ok). - Contract tests (`submit`, `pending-input`, `prompt`, `machines`, `outcome`, `omp`, `hermes`) at 155860d: 223 pass, 0 fail. - `bun run check run --build bun scripts/chat-browser-qa.ts` at 155860d: exit 0. - 7e22fb1 answers CodeRabbit's two findings on 155860d (a failed pre-send `pane.read` leaves the send untracked; the prompt poll reads the transcript only while a sent command can still change from it). ebe008c adds a failing-first test for the transcript gate (it fails with the gate reverted). - At head ebe008c: `bun run typecheck` exit 0; `bun test` of `server/outcome.test.ts`, `server/prompt.test.ts`, `server/dialogs/hermes-outcome.test.ts` 402 pass, 0 fail; `bun run check fast` exit 0 (unit 5176 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 378 files); contract tests (`submit`, `pending-input`, `prompt`, `machines`, `outcome`) 212 pass, 0 fail. - Required checks green on 7e22fb1 (Fast checks after a re-run: the first attempt failed only on self-hosted runner admission) and on ebe008c: Fast checks, Integration and browser, Native Windows install. - CodeRabbit reviewed 155860d and accepted both fixes in their threads; its `@coderabbitai review` on 7e22fb1 was rate limited, so no full review covers 7e22fb1 or ebe008c. - Merge-pass fixes (review [#issuecomment-6293135505](#1450 (comment)); mapping in [#issuecomment-6297968756](#1450 (comment))): 4934266, ea7425c, faf86cd, 39e9a1f, 685936f, 0455ff1, 3fc370e.

Real Claude Code 2.1.304 (isolated session, round 3): delayed-write FIFO for two `/context` sends, a real skill plus an unrelated card without a false Done, `/btw` terminal-required. - Required checks on 3fc370e ([run 39473431761](https://github.com/devswha/herdr-web-ui/actions/runs/39473431761)), no reruns: Fast checks success, Integration and browser success, Native Windows install success. - CodeRabbit reviewed 3fc370e after `@coderabbitai review` (review 5589707836): 2 actionable Minor comments (`server/core/composer.ts`: the command record uses the pane from before the omp startup wait; `server/prompt.ts`: a failed outcome screen read fails the prompt response) and 1 trivial nitpick (incremental transcript parsing). These are open for the merge pass. - Round 4 (merge-pass review [#issuecomment-6298192655](#1450 (comment)); mapping in [#issuecomment-6299772835](#1450 (comment))): 42ad00c, 583970f, d76667f, 9804992, 71da155 fix HIGH 1-3, the MEDIUM and LOW items, and CodeRabbit's two Minor findings and nitpick on 3fc370e. Each fix is independently verified as failing at 3fc370e and passing at 71da155. - At head 71da155: `bun run typecheck` and `generate:types --check` exit 0; `bun run check fast` 5310 pass, 0 fail (8 skip); contract tests (`submit`, `pending-input`, `prompt`, `machines`, `outcome`, `omp`, `hermes`, `opencode`, `opencode-prompt`, `device-access`) 243 pass, 0 fail; `bun run check run --build bun scripts/chat-browser-qa.ts` 9 PASS.

After Dismiss, the proxy logged 49 RPCs and none of them were `pane.send_text`, `send_keys` or `agent.prompt`. `/help` (taller than the pane, unrecognized) became terminal-required with Open Terminal and no card. - **Claude Code 2.1.304** (isolated config, 390 and 1280 px): `/context` showed done from the transcript; `/btw hi` showed runs in the terminal and never done. On an earlier integration build with live credentials, `/goal` showed the card ("Goal / No goal set / Close") with waiting for your answer, and Close gave done, card answered. On the final head the copied credentials had expired; logged out, `/goal` gave no card and became terminal-required with Open Terminal, as decided for that unrecorded layout. - **omp 18.8.7**: `/handoff` screens recorded at two widths as fixtures; `server/omp.contract.test.ts` cancels a handoff from its card and keeps the same conversation after an in-place compaction. - Screenshots were taken for each scenario above: the Hermes status card, the card after Dismiss, the unrecognized `/help`, Claude's `/context` done, `/btw` in the terminal, and the `/goal` card or its Open Terminal fallback, at the widths listed. ## Refs Closes #1292 Closes #1172 Closes #800 Refs #1379 (omp `/btw` history stays out: #1380 was closed) ## Follow-ups - Pre-existing `*.test.tsx` files aren't run by Fast checks. - Hermes skills are listed before Hermes loads them. - The client's `typedForm` ignores `{ sub: '*' }` forms. - Re-check the Claude `/goal` card logged in on the final head; the last run had expired credentials.
## Change Release 0.4.13: everything merged since 0.4.12 (136 commits, 109 changelog entries). Metadata only; no code changes in this PR. Left out of this release on purpose (still open): #1542, #1597, #1598, #1579, and the outside contributors' PRs not yet reviewed or held (#1427 #1442 #1516 #1520 #1521 #1527 #1528 #1530 #1540 #1560 #1629 #1632 #1634). ### Metadata - `package.json` and `herdr-plugin.toml`: 0.4.13. - CHANGELOG: 87 `changelog.d/` fragments folded into `[0.4.13] - 2026-10-22` by `scripts/changelog-fold.ts`, with `by @login` credits on the 36 links of outside contributors' PRs; `changelog.d/` holds only README.md. Docs/test-only PRs without a fragment (#1395-#1398, #1439, #1440) are not listed, as before. - `release-summaries.json`: 0.4.13 in en/ko/ja/zh (8 new, 6 improved, 8 fixed; equal in every language, each <= 90 chars). The first line tells that the app is now called Ovis (#1454) and installs and updates as before. - `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` 31 -> 32: `server/` and `shared/` changed since remote-v31. - Telemetry: `telemetry/worker.ts` and `shared/telemetry.ts` are unchanged since the recorded deploy, so no Worker redeploy. ### After merge 1. Push `remote-v32` on the merge commit and wait for **Remote PC bundles** to publish it. 2. Merge nothing touching `server/`, `shared/`, `bun.lock` or `patches/` until the Release run is done. 3. `gh workflow run release.yml --ref main -f version=0.4.13`. ## Validation - `bun scripts/release-guards.ts`: "Release 0.4.13: remote bundle, telemetry Worker and release metadata are in order." - `bun scripts/release-notes.ts 0.4.13` renders the three English lists and the folded changelog. <details><summary>Changelog (0.4.13)</summary> ### Added - Claude Code, grok and Antigravity messages in Chat offer Rewind in terminal: it sends nothing, preserves your draft and opens the pane's terminal with a hint to run the agent's own `/rewind`. Chat follows the native conversation when the agent records its new branch. ([#1500](#1500)) - Chat sends wait while Claude Code's rewind dialog is open in the terminal, so a message cannot land in the dialog's own text field. ([#1500](#1500)) - Sending a bare `/goal` to Claude Code from Chat now shows its goal status (the condition and how long it has run, or that no goal is set) in a card with Close, instead of leaving the dialog in the terminal. ([#1450](#1450)) - Command Code (`cmd`) agent panes now show their conversation in the web UI: transcript resolution from `~/.commandcode/projects/`, `/tree` branch projection, model and context window from Command Code's catalog, permission prompts, and skill discovery. ([#1399](#1399) by @diegolhambi) - An ordinary command sent from Chat says what became of it under its bubble, from evidence only: accepted, waiting for your answer (with a way to the card), done with what showed it, runs in the terminal (with Open Terminal), or no result seen. A command the agent keeps no transcript turn for still shows its sent row. A terminal screen that changed after the send folds under the chip as an unconfirmed preview, never proof that the command finished. Terminal-only commands instead leave one quiet row with Ran in terminal and Open Terminal, without outcome chips or unconfirmed previews. Hermes informational result cards keep showing what the agent printed. ([#1450](#1450)) - Settings → Terminal → Follow herdr's focus: when herdr moves to another pane (a click in its window, `herdr tab focus`, a script), this device opens that pane too. Off by default, and set per device, so a phone open on another pane stays there. ([#1432](#1432)) - Hermes `/help`, `/status`, `/version`, `/profile` and `/reload-skills` sent from Chat show what Hermes printed in a card closed with Dismiss, which sends nothing to the pane. ([#1450](#1450)) - Chat lists the commands and skills an OpenCode v2 pane's own background service reports for its folder, refreshed when they change, and settles a command it sent from that session's own events. The service is only read, never started, and only when it is the process its service.json names. ([#1489](#1489)) - An `@skill` sent from Chat to OpenCode v2, at once or queued, is typed through OpenCode's own autocomplete so the skill is attached; when the row does not show, the message says the skill went as plain text and points to the terminal. ([#1489](#1489)) - An OpenCode 1.x question is a card in Chat with each option and its description, answered from the card. ([#1489](#1489)) - Chat lists a Codex pane's skills as the running Codex daemon of that pane's own Codex home reports them (Codex 0.157 or later; on Linux, or when the server's Codex home is set), and a gjc pane's skills as the SDK broker it is bound to reports them, asked through the gjc CLI in the background. The daemon and the broker are never started for this; without one, the skills read from disk stay. ([#1489](#1489)) - New workspace and New tab start an agent with its model, effort and first message where the agent's command line takes them (Claude Code and Codex: `--model` and the effort level; Codex also takes the message as its own argument, behind `--` so a message like `logout` is never a command). For Claude Code and every other agent the message is queued on the PC as the pane's first pending message and sent once when the agent is ready, through the page that started it; it shows as a pending message that can be discarded or sent now. If that page disconnects, reloads or leaves the tab first, the message is held, never sent on its own, until someone sends it now or discards it. A message the PC could not queue, or one an older PC ignores, stays in the new tab's message box and the dialog says so. Pending first messages are kept in memory: restarting the web UI's server drops them. A Codex message with a tab or a line break is sent as the first message rather than on its command line, and the PC refuses launch arguments with control characters, an unknown effort level or a model that is not one word. Under the message, the agent's skills in the folder are listed before it runs, each a chip that puts the skill as the agent types it into the message (`$name`, `/name`, or `@name` for OpenCode 2). A first message to OpenCode attaches its `@skill` as any Chat send does; before OpenCode has a session nothing tells its version, so the `@` is sent as the plain text it is. In a desktop window the chat's composer can show a New tab with an agent… button that opens the dialog on the pane's workspace; it is off until turned on in Settings → Chat → Composer (New tab button), and the tab menu opens the dialog either way. ([#1512](#1512)) - omp's `/handoff` runs from Chat, with or without focus instructions: while omp writes the handoff document, Chat shows a card that cancels it, and afterwards Chat stays on the same conversation, which omp compacts in place. ([#1450](#1450)) - omp's model picker shows in the chat as a card, as Claude Code's, Codex's and OmO's lists do: pick a model and it is picked for the session, the model in use named on the card. `/model` sent from an omp chat opens it: the chat sends it as `/switch`, because omp's own `/model` opens its role hub, whose picks are saved as the default for later sessions. ([#1377](#1377) by @evanwy0223) - OpenCode 2.0 or later: its questions are answered from the chat's prompt card through OpenCode's own background service instead of keystrokes, one question at a time with Back to change an earlier answer, and sent together after the last. Permissions, OpenCode 1 and other prompts keep the existing generic fallback card and Terminal. ([#1257](#1257) by @bardiz12) - HTTP requests and WebSocket handshakes now carry request IDs and write bounded completion records in the app's state directory, so the owner can correlate a response with its request. ([#1558](#1558)) - A workspace's row menu has Earlier sessions…: the sessions each agent kept for the workspace's folder, read from the agent's own store on the PC, newest first with the title, the first prompt and the time. Resume starts the agent on that session in a new tab of the workspace; a session a pane already shows is opened by selecting that pane instead. Picking `/resume` in the chat's menu opens the same list, and the terminal command's row offers it. A PC whose bridge cannot list sessions yet has no such item. ([#1494](#1494)) - Agent rows show what herdr plugins report on a pane, such as the Quota plugin's usage left or a task's progress, in a small dim line under the row. They follow the `$name` tokens of your herdr `[ui.sidebar.agents]` rows (every token where none are set), change live, and say a long value whole in the tooltip and in a phone's ⋯ sheet. A line a plugin reports for the agent now updates as soon as herdr says it. ([#1341](#1341)) - `HERDR_WEB_TAILSCALE_HTTPS_PORT` names the HTTPS port the installer publishes the app on with `tailscale serve`, so 443 can stay free for something else. Settings → Phone & devices suggests that port too. When another service already uses it, the installer stops and says so instead of taking another port, which would move the address an installed app opens. ([#1433](#1433)) ### Changed - The chat's `/` menu lists the commands that run in the terminal apart, last, under Terminal commands, each with a Terminal badge, as the PC's command catalog describes them. Pick or type one and send it normally: once accepted, the pane's own terminal opens over the chat, in this browser only, while the chat stays where you were reading and the pane stays on Chat. A head says what ran, with Back to Chat and Keep Terminal; the header's Chat, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+J and a phone's Back return too, and Escape goes to the agent. On a desktop the message box stays under the terminal, dimmed; on a phone the key bar takes its place. Claude Code's panels (`/config`, `/permissions`, `/theme` and the like) can bring the chat back by themselves when you close them, once Claude records it; other agents' recorded screens do once their input row is back, and the rest return by hand. A Ran in terminal row's Open Terminal shows the terminal over the chat again. Busy commands stay queued; only an explicit Send now opens the terminal, never automatic delivery. Refused sends keep their draft and note. Watch-only devices never send or open it, and /resume still opens Earlier sessions. Commands the agent's own menu hides are not listed, but still go when typed by hand. ([#1441](#1441)) - For an OpenCode pane whose skills are `@` attachments, the `@` menu lists them under Skills before the files, and picking one inserts the skill's id. ([#1441](#1441)) - Growing OMP and Claude Code tasks now parse appended transcript records incrementally, reducing repeated work when long chats refresh while preserving tool results, notices and history resets. Live parser state shares Codex's bounded cache; earlier responses stay unchanged as new records arrive. ([#1561](#1561) by @Yoonwoo-Ha) - The app is now called Ovis across the browser, install messages and documentation, matching the phone apps. Existing installs, settings, plugin identifiers and update channels stay the same. ([#1454](#1454)) - A question card whose screen reads keep failing now says it may be out of date ("Not updated: the question on screen may have changed.") until a read answers again. Answering stays safe: the server reads the screen again first and refuses a changed question (#1335). ([#1360](#1360) by @Noobear) - The Earlier sessions dialog picks the agent from the same list as the New tab and New worktree dialogs, each agent with its icon and the chevron spaced as the app's other controls, instead of a plain select whose arrow sat at the far edge. ([#1573](#1573)) - A finished agent opened in one browser is read in every browser of the same server: opening it on the phone clears its DONE dot on the desktop too, and the other way around. ([#1463](#1463)) - Remove PC has a restrained red background and border before and after its confirmation step, retaining visible keyboard focus and the explicit second click to remove the registration. ([#1394](#1394) by @snowykr) - After a terminal command sent from Chat, Codex, omp, pi, gjc, OmO, Hermes (classic CLI), Devin, agy and Grok bring the chat back by themselves when you close the picker or panel it opened, once the agent's own empty input row is back on the screen. Only the commands each agent was recorded doing that for count (Codex's `/permissions`, omp's `/settings`, Grok's `/resume` and the like); print forms, toggles, editor handoffs, Codex's `/side` and `/btw`, OpenCode and anything unrecorded still return by hand. ([#1637](#1637)) ### Fixed - The New session and History pickers show Hermes, Grok, Antigravity, Devin and Command Code by their own names instead of their lowercase ids. ([#1543](#1543)) - The terminal attach process and its Node host no longer inherit the server's `HERDR_WEB_TOKEN` environment variable; they keep the socket path and the rest of their environment. ([#1562](#1562)) - Choosing Jump to latest remembers bottom-follow before the virtual list scroll completes. Switching to Terminal immediately after that choice and returning to Chat no longer restores the older reading position. This fixes explicit Jump-to-latest intent, not arbitrary upward restoration on long, active or reasoning-heavy tabs. ([#1346](#1346) by @Yoonwoo-Ha) - Remember bottom-follow without measuring rendered rows or looking up a turn anchor; readers away from the end retain the existing paragraph-and-offset restoration. ([#1346](#1346) by @Yoonwoo-Ha) - Selecting and copying chat text now preserves the text as shown instead of adding Markdown syntax. Rich-text paste and the whole-answer MD and TXT copy actions remain available. ([#1409](#1409)) - Chat no longer treats a command that leaves the agent waiting in a screen Chat cannot show as an ordinary send. Claude Code's `/usage`, `/cost`, `/status`, `/help`, `/memory`, `/mcp` and `/add-dir`, Codex's `/new` and `/fork` in a repository, `/cd`, `/usage`, `/copy` and `/side`, and the panels, pickers, confirmations and editors of omp, gjc, OmO, Hermes, Devin, Antigravity, OpenCode and Command Code are now Terminal commands: sent, they open Terminal with Back to Chat. A value typed with a picker command, such as `/fast off` or `/export notes.md`, stays an ordinary send. ([#1596](#1596)) - A Claude Code skill or custom command named like a built-in command (`/compact`, say) is listed once in the composer's command menu, as the skill Claude runs, instead of beside the built-in. ([#1441](#1441)) - Reconnects and unconfirmed sends can leave a bounded browser-side diagnostic trail on this server, without recording messages, credentials, addresses or terminal output. ([#1357](#1357) by @christi4nity) - The chat and the session history now apply one rule to Codex rollouts: a subagent's rollout (one naming a parent thread or an agent role), an exec run's, or one whose ids are null or contradict its file name is no longer read as a pane's conversation or offered to resume, while older rollouts without those fields still are. A rollout whose first line is longer than the chat or the history reads is left out instead of read unchecked. ([#1592](#1592)) - Two Codex panes in one folder whose answers are short each show their own chat again with Codex 0.163, which starts a thread in the same second as its process; before, both said the conversation was unavailable about as often as not. ([#1522](#1522) by @jiaoew1991) - A Codex pane with only short answers still finds its chat after another pane in the same folder runs `/new`: a thread that pane shows a long answer of under its first prompt, is bound to, or that herdr reports for it no longer leaves this pane unsure. ([#1522](#1522) by @jiaoew1991) - Of two Codex panes in one folder with short answers, the one started first finds its chat too once the other shows its own first exchange, where it said the conversation was unavailable. ([#1522](#1522) by @jiaoew1991) - On a phone, a composer notice's actions (such as the `/resume` notice's Earlier sessions, Open Terminal and Run in Terminal) wrap onto their own line, and its dismiss button stays visible instead of being cut off at the edge. ([#1543](#1543)) - Wrapped and multiline message drafts are sized with an out-of-flow measurement field instead of collapsing the live input, preserving transcript spacing and the paragraph being read (#1337). ([#1347](#1347) by @Yoonwoo-Ha) - The measurement field shares the live input's Korean, Japanese and Chinese line-breaking rules, including Korean placeholder wrapping, so localized drafts keep their natural height. ([#1347](#1347) by @Yoonwoo-Ha) - Local Herdr timeouts, machine connection failures and recoveries, and abnormal WebSocket closes now leave timestamped, rate-limited diagnostic records without logging input or credentials. ([#1356](#1356) by @christi4nity) - The browser connection trace no longer re-posts a batch the server refuses with a 4xx status, resumes reporting after you sign in again on the same page, and malformed reports can no longer use up the server's shared report quota. ([#1423](#1423)) - Pairing a device, renaming or revoking one, and the web push key and subscriptions are now flushed to disk before they replace the previous file, so a crash or power cut right after the change is much less likely to bring back a revoked device or make every phone subscribe to alerts again. How much survives a power cut still depends on the disk and filesystem honouring the flush; on Windows the folder itself is not flushed. ([#1568](#1568)) - File search and path lookup no longer run a repository's fsmonitor hook, follow Git variables the server was started with, or wait on a Git listing that never ends: a listing past 16 MiB or 3 seconds, or one cut off mid-name, falls back to the folder walk. ([#1570](#1570)) - **Files → Changes** no longer runs a program named `false` found on `PATH` with Git 2.35 or older, and reads the repository asked about even when the server was started with `GIT_COMMON_DIR` set. ([#1570](#1570)) - Keep sidebar status updates responsive after many completed turns by caching read finishes and bounding their in-memory history instead of repeatedly scanning browser storage. ([#1536](#1536)) - A first message from New workspace or New tab no longer waits forever when the agent started for it quits before the message goes: it is held for Send now or Discard. The same happens when an agent of the same kind that the user starts later comes up instead, and when the page that sent it leaves the pane while it is being typed, so the pane's other queued messages are not stuck behind it. On native Windows the PC sees only the pane's shell, so it cannot tell that the agent quit: there the message keeps waiting until you discard it. ([#1532](#1532)) - GJC Chat hides internal agent-to-agent IRC messages and automatic replies, while keeping user messages that quote them visible. ([#1535](#1535)) - GJC questions using the Nerd Font selection cursor now show their actual choices in chat instead of only Up, Down, Enter and Esc controls. Moving the cursor preserves the question's identity and uses the current selection when answering. ([#1553](#1553) by @Kinetic27) - GJC chats on a busy machine give cold session lookups up to five seconds per command and ten seconds overall instead of timing out after two seconds per command. Session snapshots retain the shorter status lookup budget; failed status lookups are held for 30 seconds without preventing chat reads from retrying. ([#1364](#1364) by @sskys18) - GJC chat and status reuse their verified session binding when other sessions write heartbeats, instead of restarting the SDK lookup for every pane. Session changes still require SDK validation. ([#1343](#1343)) - Grok keeps Chat with older sessions open and uses Terminal when the session is uncertain. ([#1352](#1352) by @infowolfe) - One failed health check no longer shows herdr offline or switches a Windows PC's panes to the terminal lens: the header says Status unknown with the last herdr it saw, and herdr unavailable only after a second failure in a row. ([#1581](#1581)) - A malformed, oversized or misaddressed answer from herdr now fails only the request it answers, with a clear error, instead of hanging until the timeout, growing the server's memory or being taken as another request's answer; event subscriptions report such a frame and close. ([#1584](#1584)) - Hermes `/status` sent from Chat now shows its result card on the first send in a new pane too, even when the computer is busy. A send whose result was missed no longer leaves every later `/status` in that pane without a card for ten minutes. The same holds when another device has the terminal scrolled up. ([#1543](#1543)) - Sending Hermes `/status` (or another informational command) from Chat again now shows that send's own result card each time, instead of "Runs in the terminal" once earlier identical results fill the terminal. ([#1543](#1543)) - Slow API requests can return their result or timeout error instead of losing the HTTP connection while bounded Herdr calls are still running. ([#1355](#1355) by @christi4nity) - The app can be installed behind a reverse proxy that signs in every request (Authelia, oauth2-proxy and the like): the browser now sends its cookies with the manifest request. ([#1332](#1332) by @ascandroli) - Mouse wheel and phone swipes scroll terminal history on Windows and other mirrored panes; read-only connections still only pan their local grid. ([#1446](#1446) by @Davesaggio) - A Codex started in a terminal shows its model and reasoning level before the first message, from Codex's live footer, while the chat shows the terminal output. ([#1374](#1374) by @evanwy0223) - Before the first message, a model switched in the terminal shows in the message box once the supported agent draws it. omp still waits for its transcript to record the model; the bridge never runs `omp models`, which can refresh the CLI's OAuth credentials. ([#1374](#1374) by @evanwy0223) - A pane that runs OmO is now treated as OmO by the composer even while herdr labels it Claude (OmO's Claude child is running): sending a message no longer stops on a Claude input-box draft refusal or tries to clear a Claude draft there. ([#1441](#1441)) - A multi-line message sent to an OmO pane that herdr has no agent label for is now pasted as one bracketed paste instead of line by line, so its first line is no longer sent alone. ([#1441](#1441)) - An OmO pick list (an extension's select, such as the init-deep advisor's "Run now / Skip this time / Never…") shows in the chat as a card with its own options again, instead of a "Waiting for input" card offering only ↑, ↓, Enter and Esc. A pick list that counts down in its title keeps the same card while it ticks, so an answer tapped a second later is not refused as stale. ([#1495](#1495) by @nahwan-kim) - An omp pane started with an absolute `--cwd` shows its chat when herdr names no session file and the directory herdr reports is not omp's own, such as the shell's or a symlink's real path: the session is still looked up in the directory herdr reports first, then under that `--cwd`. ([#1594](#1594)) - A message or command sent from the chat to an omp that is still starting no longer stays typed in its input box: omp shows the box before it takes an Enter, so the send waits until herdr's omp integration reports the session (omp does so once it takes input), for an omp started moments ago. ([#1475](#1475)) - A new OpenCode 2 pane offers your project and user skills as `@` attachments before its first session starts, using the OpenCode version the PC's install reports, instead of listing them as OpenCode 1 `/` commands. Once the pane has a session, that session's version decides as before. ([#1543](#1543)) - Native question answers stay bound to the current pane, session and form. Local service discovery rejects stale or non-loopback endpoints, bypasses environment proxies, and bounds slow requests. ([#1257](#1257) by @bardiz12) - Polling does not invalidate an unchanged question or turn an acknowledged answer into an error. A temporary service outage keeps an already displayed native card and its unsent edits. ([#1257](#1257) by @bardiz12) - Back and question tabs preserve unsent edits, and multiselect submissions include both checks and custom text. Abandoned drafts are bounded and expire after 30 minutes. ([#1257](#1257) by @bardiz12) - OpenCode question cards keep edits and allow immediate retries after a failed reply, and optional questions can be skipped. Unrelated service metadata no longer resets a form's progress. ([#1421](#1421)) - Answers sent from the message box show the translated warning when OpenCode has not confirmed delivery. Native service connections accept only the loopback addresses 127.0.0.1 and [::1]. ([#1421](#1421)) - Subscription usage reads OpenCode 2's own credential store before the `auth.json` OpenCode 1 wrote. OpenCode 2 keeps its provider sign-ins in `opencode.db` and leaves that file standing with the key it has since replaced, so the OpenCode card reported "Sign-in expired" for a CLI that was signed in and working. The store's active key answers first, and a store without one (signed out of OpenCode 2) shows no card; the file still answers beside OpenCode 1's store, or with none. ([#1329](#1329) by @krish-kant) - `GET /api/pane/read` takes `lines` only as plain decimal digits from 0 to 4294967295 and refuses any other value (blank, signed, fractional, exponent or too large) with 400 `invalid_lines` instead of passing it to herdr; a blank value is no longer read as zero. Every count herdr takes still goes through unchanged. ([#1571](#1571)) - A pasted or dropped PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP image is saved with the extension of what its bytes are, not the one its file name suggests, and a file that only claims to be one of those images is refused with its reason instead of being saved for the agent to read. ([#1599](#1599)) - The phone header's Chat/Terminal switch keeps clear of the bar's top and bottom edges in both densities: its options take the density's segmented height, so its track is 34px tall in the 52px bar and 32px in the compact density's 46px bar, which it used to nearly touch. ([#1519](#1519) by @adnankassem) - On a phone, the header's Chat/Terminal switch centers its icons and no longer touches the header's bottom rule (in compact density it was as tall as the bar). The buttons still take a full 44 px tap. ([#1367](#1367) by @Noobear) - A pi chat now shows its context ring for models pi lists in its commandcode cache or model store, not only for providers defined in `models.json`. ([#1391](#1391) by @diegolhambi) - Model and effort pickers no longer confirm a stale choice when the agent stops waiting for the answer during the final screen read. ([#1435](#1435)) - A Portal that stops on its own after its address was up is started again once, on the same relay and address, and Settings → Phone & devices says Recovering… meanwhile; a second stop shows the error with Portal's output instead of leaving the address down without a word or restarting it again. ([#1587](#1587)) - When the server cannot save a shared setting or pin, Settings now says the change is not on the server yet, that reloading or closing the page can undo it, and offers Retry. After three failed saves in a row the browser resends less often (after a minute, then up to every five minutes) until you press Retry or the connection reopens, and edits made meanwhile are kept. A late resend of a refused change no longer overwrites a newer value another device saved meanwhile, while a setting you pick again after the refusal still wins. While the connection is lost it waits for it to come back instead of resending, and a connection the browser gives up on (for example a proxy error while the server restarts) is opened again, so alerts and other devices' changes no longer stop arriving until a reload. ([#1595](#1595)) - A damaged or unreadable shared preferences or read-finish file is no longer lost to the next change. Reading never touches it; the first change moves the damaged file, byte for byte, to `preferences.json.bad` or `seen.json.bad` (private to you, the latest damaged copy only), a file repaired by hand while the server runs is kept with the change added to it, and a file that cannot be read or set aside is not written over, so the change fails instead. ([#1564](#1564)) - A server or remote bridge that crashed no longer blocks its restart when its old process number now belongs to another program: startup locks and the bridge registry record the owner's start identity, and that other program is never signalled. ([#1567](#1567)) - Attaching to a terminal once again waits for input to be ready before signalling completion, preserving queued keys, clicks and text and the order of Stop followed by a message. ([#1342](#1342)) - Opening a finished agent's terminal while its connection to herdr is being restored no longer clears its DONE dot from the screen left over from before: it clears once the terminal shows current output. ([#1472](#1472)) - An oversized or unreadable answer from another PC's bridge is now refused at a fixed size instead of being held whole in memory: connecting, refreshing and the PC proxy stop reading it, report a short error in the user's language that repeats none of it, and a watching device never gets a prompt that could not be redacted. ([#1588](#1588)) - Opening a pane in another tab or on a phone, or reconnecting, no longer copies again to the clipboard what a program in the pane copied before; its new copies still reach the clipboard. ([#1600](#1600)) - Update and restart, and the header's Update, install exactly the release they offered: a release published in the meantime installs nothing and is shown to be checked first, and a server whose supervisor cannot install by revision asks for a restart instead of installing. ([#1590](#1590)) - In macOS Safari, Backspace in a terminal no longer skips a press after deleting the last letter of a Korean syllable: 한 then four Backspaces now also deletes the character before it. ([#1363](#1363)) - Chat shows only the current agent session's command results: after an agent restarts in the same pane, the earlier session's commands no longer appear. A `/clear`, `/new` or resume sent from Chat keeps its own row in the conversation it starts, without claiming that it finished. Commands sent before an agent's first reply stay with that agent while it keeps running, also through a moment in the background (Ctrl+Z on Linux and macOS); once a different agent takes over the pane, they are hidden, even if Chat was not open when it happened. A command sent to a restarted agent while the pane still shows the previous session stays once the agent's own session appears within a minute, unless Chat started another session after it. Within that minute, a session change typed in the terminal of an agent that resumed the same session can still keep such a command. Where Chat cannot find the agent's program at all (native Windows, or an agent started under another program name), such a command stays with the session that the same agent starts in the same terminal; a later session, another agent or terminal still hides it. Outside Linux, an agent restarted under the same process number cannot be told apart from the one before it. ([#1543](#1543)) - SSH PC management controls now stay within narrow sidebars: the rename field and action buttons reflow in place, and long labels wrap without clipping. ([#1392](#1392) by @snowykr) - Opening a finished pane clears its DONE dot only after its answer or terminal output is actually visible. Covered panes, loading or failed chats, and terminal reconnections keep unread finishes marked. ([#1342](#1342)) - Reading older chat keeps the finish unread. Jumping to the latest answer clears it only after the jump arrives; small scrolls above the end show the way back. Resizing and restoring a short chat work without an extra scroll.

([#1342](#1342)) - Read finishes stay read across pane switches and browser tabs on the same device. Every web-server restart or update brings read DONE dots back; read records are not carried across server restarts. ([#1342](#1342)) - The sidebar's PC control buttons are the standard control height again, Rename shares the name field's row in a wide sidebar, Remove PC dims like its neighbours while a rename or disconnect runs, and danger buttons keep their red tint on hover everywhere in the app. ([#1422](#1422)) - Documents opened through copied read links keep their own scroll area at desktop widths, rather than expanding beyond the window and leaving scrolling to the page. ([#1586](#1586) by @Kinetic27) - A Markdown table whose separator has a one- or two-dash cell (`|---|:-:|`) shows as a table in the chat, as on GitHub, instead of as its pipe-separated source. ([#1361](#1361) by @Noobear) - Going back to the chat while a terminal command's screen is still open (Claude Code's `/btw` answer, a picker left up) no longer lets the next message from the message box be typed into that screen and do nothing, for Claude Code and the agents above (not OpenCode): the composer says the command is still open in the terminal, with Show terminal, and Send (or a queued message's Send now) keeps the message until the screen closes or you choose Send anyway. ([#1637](#1637)) - Opening the app no longer flashes the dark amber default before your saved theme: the saved light, dark or single-mode theme (Dracula on the light side stays dark), including System and older saved palettes, is drawn from the first frame, and the installed app's title bar color matches it at once. ([#1569](#1569)) - Settings → Updates no longer tells you to switch to main when the server was started from an installed update's folder instead of its source checkout: it now says to restart the app from the source checkout, which is what lets updates run again. ([#1417](#1417)) - Typing or composing text in a wide mirrored terminal no longer pulls the view sideways. Windows terminal wheel panning stays in place when output arrives, and tapping the terminal without scrolling no longer changes shared history. ([#1534](#1534)) - Loading the page no longer sends about 33 requests per workspace folder to find its project icon: each folder is asked once (`GET /api/fs/favicon`), and a folder without an icon is an answer, not a 404. A reverse proxy with a rate limit no longer answers 429 to the burst, and the browser console no longer fills with red 404 lines on every load. A 429 is no longer remembered as "no icon" either: the folder is asked again when its row next appears. ([#1339](#1339)) - A dragged workspace order no longer jumps back while its moves are still landing: a roster read before the move, a cached roster or another PC's update cannot undo it, and the first roster read after the move (another browser's later order included) replaces it. A remote PC does this once its bridge is updated to the next release; until then it keeps the earlier behaviour.

#2197) ## Change Part of #1468 (follow-ups of #1463). The server's shared read finishes (`seen.json`) kept the records of herdr runs that had ended (an old `finish_epoch`) until the 500-record cap pushed them out. Every events-stream reconnect sent them to each browser, which wrote them back into its localStorage, and every change rewrote them into `seen.json`. - `server/seen.ts`: `SeenStore` takes each PC's current finish epoch. `GET /api/seen` and the stream's first `seen` frame leave out a PC's records of another epoch. A `POST` of one is answered as sent (200, the client only reads the status) and neither kept nor told. The next write drops them from the file, before the cap is applied. A PC whose epoch the server does not know keeps every record. - `server/machines.ts`: `MachineManager.finishEpochs()` names the local PC's epoch, and a remote PC's only once a snapshot or status of the PC itself reached this server since it started (`runtime.heard`). A snapshot restored from `machines.json` is not evidence: it is saved about a second after a status frame moves the epoch, and `stop()` cancels a pending save, so it can name the run the PC has since left (Codex review, MEDIUM, fixed in the second commit). A setup move that is rolled back restores that mark with the snapshot (third commit, Codex LOW). - DESIGN.md's read-state entry and a changelog fragment. No HTTP/WS shape changes: the same routes and `seen` event, with fewer rows. ### Left in #1468, with reasons (comment on the issue) - The MEDIUM resend after a transient error was fixed by #1747. - Batching `seen.json` writes: a change is held and told only once it is on disk (#1564's contract). The file now holds only runs still going, which bounds the rewrite much lower than the 1.5 MB worst case of 500 records. - A POST with the largest finish ID: it comes from an authenticated browser of the same server and only marks its own read state until that herdr run ends. A cap would need the server's own per-pane finish view, which lags status frames, so it would risk refusing real finishes. - An older cached client dropping a snapshot poll on a `seen` event: an already-cached client cannot be changed from here; a reload ends it. ## Validation - `server/seen.test.ts` "leaves out and drops the finishes of a PC's herdr run that ended, and keeps a PC's whose epoch it does not know": fails on main, passes now. - `server/machines-refresh.test.ts` "names a remote PC's finish epoch for read finishes only once the PC told it, never from a saved snapshot": fails before the second commit, and fails again with the `heard` check removed (mutation), passes now. - Real HTTP check on a server against the isolated `ovis-test` herdr session (mkdtemp stateDir, port 0): `seen.json` seeded with a local record of an ended epoch and one of a PC not in the roster. `curl GET /api/seen` left out the ended one and kept the other; a POST for the ended epoch answered 200 and was not stored; a POST for the current epoch rewrote `seen.json` without the ended record. (Scratch script, not committed.) - `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test server/machine-own-update.test.ts server/machines-refresh.test.ts server/seen.test.ts`: 101 pass, 0 fail. - `bun run check fast` on the pushed head: exit 0 (7969 unit pass, 0 fail; typecheck, build). - Reviews: omo-native-code-reviewer APPROVE (its LOW-1 is the same restored-snapshot window, fixed); Codex Sol 6.1 Fast xhigh REQUEST CHANGES (MEDIUM, fixed in 26da453), re-review APPROVE with one LOW (fixed in 9589b7c). The rollback LOW has no new test: it needs a PC that never connected plus a save fault; the existing #2075 rollback tests pass. No release-guard change: `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` is raised only by release PRs.
Change
A finish read in one browser is now read in every browser of the same server. Until now the DONE
dot's read record (#1342) lived in each browser's localStorage, so opening a finished agent on the
phone left its dot lit on the desktop, and the other way around. Pins already sync through the
server (
/api/preferences); read finishes now do the same.shared/seen.ts: the record{ pc, epoch, pane, id, answer? }, its validation and the mergerule the browser already used (greatest finish ID per
(PC, epoch, pane); an equal ID only gainsa missing answer fingerprint).
server/seen.ts:SeenStorekeeps the records in<stateDir>/seen.json(500, oldest firstout, written through a temp file like
preferences.json).GET /api/seenlists them,POST /api/seenrecords one. A watching device's POST is refused by the existing read-onlygate in
index.ts./api/machines/eventscarries a newseenevent: every record when the stream opens, theneach change.
useSidebarActivityStatesends each presented finish once per page (again with itsanswer fingerprint once chat has it, and again after a failed send). A received
seenevent iswritten into localStorage through the same max-finish rule, so it can mark a finish read but
never bring a dot back. When a finish counts as read is unchanged.
before. The demo transport answers the route.
herdr's own TUI still keeps its own record: herdr can mark a pane seen only through
pane.focus,which moves the TUI's focus (#996). The accuracy follow-ups in #1430 are separate and not touched
here.
Design follows the shared pins (
/api/preferences+ thepreferencesevent) rather than adding anew transport. DESIGN.md's read-state entry is updated; changelog fragment
changelog.d/shared-read-finishes.md.This adds an HTTP route and an SSE event type, so it waits for a real CodeRabbit review.

bun run check fast: workflow syntax, generated files, typecheck, build and unit tests pass(5,080 unit tests pass, 0 fail, 8 skipped).
server/seen.test.ts: merge rule, cap, damaged file, GET/POST validation, and the eventsstream (all records on connect, then each change).
server/device-access.contract.test.ts: a watching device can GET/api/seenand its POST isrefused with
read_only.src/lib/sidebarActivity.hook.test.ts: a presented finish is sent once and again after afailure; a received record draws the pane ready and a lower or other-epoch record changes
nothing.
(separate storage): with an agent DONE in both A and B, A opens the pane (POST 200,
seen.jsonholds it), and B's dot clears while B never opens the pane; a browser C opened afterwards starts
with it read; the agent's next finish is DONE again everywhere. No page errors. (Scratch script,
not committed.)
