What changes

Part of #1518, the follow-ups from #1512's merge-pass reviews. It fixes CodeRabbit 4334853910 on #1512 and omo's L1, L3, L4, L5 and L7, plus G2-2 and F18-1 from the independent review. L2 and M3 are left; see "Not taken" below. Nine commits on main 7cd3648.

The fixes are all in a create request's first message: server/core/pending.ts, with the launch's pid from server/shell-agent.ts and server/agent-launch.ts, and the demo transport.

The launched agent quits before its first message goes (CodeRabbit 4334853910, omo L3; 2167f22).
- Since feat(chat): start an agent with its model, effort and skills from Chat #1512 a first message stayed launch-bound for its whole life, and bindLaunched waited whenever herdr named no agent. The message stayed queued with no fault, and Send now answered input_not_ready, "not up yet".
- Waiting for a send to find the agent gone was not enough either. After the agent quits, herdr may leave the pane at a status that is not at rest, and a queued message is only handed out at rest. The independent review reproduced "queued forever" on real Claude at 7cd3648.
- Now a launch is waited for only while it is still coming up: no process learned yet, or the learned one still in front.
- Once the launched agent came up and left, the pane's next event holds the message with pending_target_changed, whether the pane is at rest or not. Send now answers the same, and nothing is typed.
A message held from the start still learns its agent (omo L3 and L4; cfa94e6).
- A first message held before its agent came up (no page named, or the page left) learned nothing, so Send now after that agent quit still said "not up yet".
- A held first message now learns at the pane's events until its launched process is known. Once it is held because that agent left or was replaced, it reads the pane no more until its Send now, so held messages stop costing a pane read per event from then on (L4; bounded as F18-1 below needs).
The page leaves during its own automatic send (omo L1; c9fe616).
- holdRequested cannot hold an item in flight. A send that then ended agent_blocked or pending_wait was retried into queued with no page left to type it. It headed the pane's queue, and other devices' messages stalled behind it with no note.
- Such a send now settles the message held with first_message_unattended, and the pane's queue goes on.
A launch that died before any event saw it (G2-2, omo L5; 5770da7).
- The first same-kind agent seen in the terminal was taken as the launched one. So if a shell-started launch (omo, gjc) died unseen, an agent the user started there afterwards got the message.
- startShellAgent now resolves with the pid of the process it saw come up in front of the pane. On Windows there is none, because it is found among the shell's descendants.
- agentLaunch hands that pid to the create route through a callback, so it is not in the HTTP answer, and the first message is bound to it at enqueue.
- Learning never takes the shell's own pid for the launch (L5).
- A mismatch the pane's events find against a queued first message (another terminal, agent, process or session) now holds it with pending_target_changed at once, as a send would, without waiting for the pane to rest.
A held message's card names the right reason (F18-1 in the independent review; 1d461f3).
- A first message held from the start kept its first_message_unattended reason ("the page that sent this first message is gone") after its launched agent quit or was replaced. Send now answered pending_target_changed, but the card still said the page was gone.
- A held first message is now checked at the pane's events until it is held for that reason, and then takes pending_target_changed as its listed reason. A Send now refused with it does the same.
- PendingInputs.rehold tells a held message's new reason.
Demo parity (omo L7; f07256b): the demo's detach holds the first messages that page asked for, as its close already did and as the bridge does.
Docs and changelog (5248ccc): docs/agent-commands.md, plus the changelog.d/first-message-launch-ended.md fragment (Fixed).
A wrapper in front of the agent (CodeRabbit 4335931296; 5f7208c): a bound first message is checked against its own launched process while that process is in front, not against foreground_processes[0]. A non-exec wrapper (sh -c, a shim) is listed first and is not another agent. Contract case: "bound to a launch that runs behind a wrapper in front of the pane, is typed once into that agent, not held", which fails at 1d461f3.
Native Windows (omo M1 on 1d461f3): herdr lists only the pane's shell there, so the bridge cannot see the launched agent's process. A first message whose agent quit before it went keeps waiting on a Windows PC and is not held; Discard still ends it. The changelog fragment says so (c3c592a).

Not taken

L2 (leaving the pane holds the first message in ordinary flows): this is by design and documented in feat(chat): start an agent with its model, effort and skills from Chat #1512. Making the page's pane release wait on the bridge-owned first message is a client change of its own (PaneTerminal release on tab switch and phone backgrounding), not a fix in this area.
M3 (the Start in-flight guard test exercises startNewSession, not the dialog): unit tests here have no DOM, since component tests render static markup only. The new-session-skills lane already double-clicks the real dialog's Start while the create is held and asserts exactly one tab/create.

Tests

Each test was written first and fails without its fix. The whole set was replayed on main 7cd3648's own code in a scratch worktree, which was removed afterwards. These all fail on main and pass at 5248ccc:

server/pending-input.contract.test.ts, in "a create request's first message":
- "queued for a launched agent that came up and then quit before it went, is held for Send now or Discard, never left waiting and never typed": through the real POST /api/tab/create.
- "held from the start, still learns its launched agent: once that agent came up and quit, Send now answers pending_target_changed, not that it is not up yet".
- "held from the start, says pending_target_changed instead of the page being gone once its launched agent quit, and Send now answers the same" (F18-1): this one fails at 5248ccc, where the listed reason stays first_message_unattended.
- "whose page leaves during its own automatic send, is held for Send now or Discard, never re-queued ahead of the pane's other messages": the send is stopped at its own screen read, the page detaches, and an approval on screen makes the send end agent_blocked. Another device's queued message then goes.
- "queued for a launch that died before any event saw it, is held when an agent of the same kind the user starts comes up, never typed into it": this also checks that the create's answer carries no pid.
scripts/demo-first-message-detach.test.ts: detach, re-attach, then the agent's rest. The message is held and never typed.

Test fix: the first quit case first failed about one run in three under load. That had two causes:

The product gap above (no hold while the pane is not at rest).
The test waited on a working status frame, which herdr's own process detection can replace.

The launched-agent cases (including #1512's round 2 replacement case) now wait until herdr's snapshot names the agent, checked at each status or roster frame. They then drain the pane through a fresh attach and wait out that drain and its rerun. They do not wait for herdr to stop naming an agent that quit, which can lag; the message is held either way.

How it was verified

At the head, c3c592a (5f7208c adds the wrapper fix; c3c592a changes only the changelog fragment), on main 7cd3648:

bun run typecheck exit 0.
pending-input.contract via bun run check run under env -i: 82 pass, 0 fail, in each of two runs in a row.
UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast exit 0: 5671 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 410 files.
bun test scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts with the updated fragment: 12 pass.

Earlier, at 1d461f3 (F18-1 on top of 5248ccc), on main 7cd3648 (main has not moved since):

bun run typecheck exit 0.
pending-input.contract via bun run check run under env -i (same isolation as below): 81 pass, 0 fail, in each of two runs in a row.
UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast exit 0: 5671 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 410 files.

The results below are at 5248ccc, which the independent review passed; 1d461f3 adds only the F18-1 commit.

bun run typecheck exit 0; bun run generate:types --check up to date.
UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast exit 0: 5671 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 410 files.
Contracts via bun run check run under env -i, with an isolated HOME and a PATH whose only muse and codex are stand-ins (claude and opencode are not on it):
- Files: pending-input.contract, api.contract and device-access.contract.
- Result: 226 pass, 0 fail, in each of three runs in a row.
Browser lane via bun run check run --build, same isolation: new-session-skills-browser-qa.ts 6/6 PASS.
Replay on main 7cd3648's code: the four new contract cases and the demo test fail, and the rest of the first-message block passes (13).

Review

This touches queued input (first-message binding, holds and retries), and the bridge's internal launch result. No HTTP or WS contract changes; the create's answer is unchanged, and a test pins that. It waits for a real CodeRabbit review.

…ame up and left Since e062a35 a first message stayed launch-bound for its whole life, and bindLaunched waited whenever herdr named no agent in the terminal: a launched agent that was learned and then quit before the message went left it queued with no fault, and Send now answered that the agent was not up yet. Waiting for a send to find it gone was not enough either: after the agent quits herdr may leave the pane at a status that is not at rest, and a queued message is only handed out at rest. A launch is now waited for only while it is still coming up (no process learned, or the learned one still in front). Once its agent came up and left (herdr names no agent there and the learned process is not in front), the message is held with pending_target_changed at the pane's next event, at rest or not, and Send now answers the same; nothing is typed. A held first message no longer re-reads the pane at every event. A same-kind replacement and a /resume still get pending_target_changed, and the launched agent still gets the message once. pending-input.contract: a create queued with the shell in front, the launched agent learned, then quit (the shell back in front, herdr naming no agent): held with pending_target_changed, Send now refused, Discard ends it, nothing typed. Its wait for the launched agent, and the round 2 replacement case's, no longer wait on one status frame (herdr's own detection races a reported state): they wait until herdr names the agent, then drain the pane through a new attach and wait out that drain and its rerun. The full contract passes three runs in a row. (CodeRabbit 4334853910 on #1512; #1518)

…l its process is known A first message held from the start (the request named no page) or held before its agent came up learned nothing at the pane's events: once that agent came up and quit, its Send now still answered input_not_ready, "not up yet". A held first message now learns at the pane's events until the process launched for it is known, and then reads the pane no more until its Send now, which tells a launch that came up and left (pending_target_changed) from one not up yet. Queued ones learn as before; held ones stop costing a pane read per event once their launch is known. pending-input.contract: a create naming no page (held from the start), the launched agent comes up and quits, Send now answers pending_target_changed, Discard ends it, nothing typed. Fails without the fix with input_not_ready. (omo L3 and L4 on #1512; #1518)

…never re-queue it A first message whose page left or closed while its own automatic send was on its way could not be held then (holdItem leaves an item in flight to its send), and when that send ended in agent_blocked or pending_wait it was retried into queued with no page left to type it: it headed the pane's queue, and the other devices' next-turn messages stalled behind it with no note. Such a send now settles the message held with first_message_unattended, for Send now or Discard, and the pane's queue goes on. pending-input.contract: the page's automatic send is stopped at its own screen read, the page detaches, the screen then shows an approval so the send ends agent_blocked: the message is held with first_message_unattended, and another device's queued message goes once the prompt is gone. Without the fix the message goes back to queued. (omo L1 on #1512; #1518)

… and hold a mismatch at once A create queued with the shell still in front took the first agent of the launched kind seen in the terminal as the launched one. If the launch died before any pane event learned it, an agent the user started there afterwards got the first message (herdr's agent.start cannot get here; agents typed into the shell, omo and gjc, can). startShellAgent now resolves with the pid of the process it saw come up in front of the pane (none on Windows, where it is found among the shell's descendants), agentLaunch hands it to the create route through a callback (it is not in the HTTP answer), and the first message is bound to it at enqueue. Learning never takes the shell's own pid for the launch (omo L5). What the pane's events find against a queued first message (another terminal, another agent, another process or session of the kind) now holds it with pending_target_changed at once, as a send would, so the hold does not wait for the pane to be at rest. pending-input.contract: the stood-in launch names a process that ended before the pane's first event, the user starts an agent of the same kind: the message is held with pending_target_changed, nothing is typed into it, and the create's answer carries no pid. Fails without the fix. (G2-2 in the independent review of #1512, omo L5; #1518)

…s the pane The demo held a first message only when its page closed: a page that detached the pane and came back got it typed at the agent's rest, which the bridge no longer does. A detach now holds the first messages that page asked for in that pane with first_message_unattended, through the same helper as its close. scripts/demo-first-message-detach.test.ts drives detach, re-attach and the agent's rest on the demo transport: held, never typed. It fails without the fix. (omo L7 on #1512; #1518)

…nother one comes up

…r was replaced A first message held before its agent came up (no page named, or the page gone) kept its first_message_unattended reason after the launched agent quit or was replaced: Send now answered pending_target_changed, but the card still said the page that sent it was gone. A held first message is now checked at the pane's events until it is held for that reason, and then takes pending_target_changed as its listed reason; a Send now refused with it does the same. A held one reads the pane no more once its reason is pending_target_changed. PendingInputs.rehold tells a held message's new reason. pending-input.contract: a create naming no page (held from the start), the launched agent comes up and quits, a connection attaching the pane drains it: the listed reason becomes pending_target_changed, and Send now answers the same; nothing is typed. Fails at 5248ccc, where the reason stays first_message_unattended. (F18-1 in the independent review; #1518)

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- First messages from a new workspace or tab are now held for review when the agent exits, is replaced, changes session, or the originating pane disconnects before delivery.
- Held messages can still be sent or discarded and are not delivered to a different agent.
- Other queued messages continue processing without being blocked by an unattended first message.
Documentation
- Clarified how first-message targeting behaves when sessions, processes, or agents change.

First messages are now bound to the launched process and held when that target exits or changes, or when the requester disconnects during automatic delivery. The demo transport also holds first messages when their pane detaches. Server and demo tests, documentation, and a changelog entry describe these changes.

Changes: First-message lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capture and pass launched process identity `server/shell-agent.ts`, `server/agent-launch.ts`, `server/index.ts`, `server/workspace-routes.ts`	Shell startup returns a foreground process ID when available. The launch callback reports it to the workspace route, which passes it into first-message queueing.
Hold messages when delivery targets change `server/core/pending.ts`, `server/pending-input.ts`, `server/pending-input.contract.test.ts`, `docs/agent-commands.md`, `changelog.d/first-message-launch-ended.md`	Pending delivery checks the pane and launched process identity. It holds messages when the target changes or ends, and holds retryable failures when the requester is absent. Contract tests cover these cases and discard behavior.
Hold demo messages on pane detach or socket close `site/demo/transport.ts`, `scripts/demo-first-message-detach.test.ts`	The demo transport holds a connection’s queued first message on detach or close. The test verifies that reattaching does not send the held message.

…he first one in front startShellAgent binds a first message to the process it saw come up, the first match in front of the pane, while currentIdentity always read foreground_processes[0]. With a wrapper that does not exec its agent in front of the pane (a version-manager shim, `sh -c` with more to run), herdr lists the wrapper first: the event check, bindLaunched and pendingContext compared the bound agent against the wrapper, and the first message was held with pending_target_changed instead of being typed. currentIdentity now takes the bound process while it is among those in front, and the first one otherwise; enqueue, the event check (per message), bindLaunched and pendingContext pass the message's bound process. A replacement, a /resume, a quit and a launch that died unseen still hold it, since the bound process is then not in front. pending-input.contract: an agent started behind `sh -c "...; true"` (control: herdr lists the wrapper first), its first message bound to the agent's pid: typed once, not held. Fails at 1d461f3, where it is held with pending_target_changed. (CodeRabbit 4335931296 on #1532; #1518)

The integration's own logs are in `group-H/`. ## 35. Hermes `/status` result card on every send, not only the first F3 D1 (plan todo 35; IS-2, IS-8 for Hermes). Built as `fix/hermes-repeat-result` from 7cd3648, one commit (225d4aa5), picked and rebased here as 1c1aebe. #### Cause F3 found that Hermes `/status` sent from Chat became a result card only on the first send(s). Later sends showed "Runs in the terminal", although the full `Hermes CLI Status … Agent Running: No` block was on screen and `hermesResults()` parses that screen. The reader was fine. The fault was in how each send finds its own output. `server/outcome.ts` places the send-time screen in the polled screen by matching the tail of the send-time screen as text (`anchorEnd`). It then owns the echo after that anchor, at the ordinal reserved for it (`reserveResultEchoes`). Identical result blocks break this. Once earlier `/status` blocks scroll the unique content above them off a 40-row pane, the tail matches in two places with equal strength. One place is true (cut off at the screen top). The other is one block lower (stopped by a mismatch). `anchorEnd` treats the tie as ambiguous, so the third send owns nothing. From the fourth send on, the send-time screen and the screen after the output are the same text apart from the status bar clock. Only the history moved, so text alone can no longer tell "one more identical block" from "nothing printed". The echo reservation for the next send then compares two identical screens. It puts the previous send's anchor at the bottom and reserves a second echo that never comes, so every later `/status` stays unowned. `/version` twice in F3 worked only because unique `/status` blocks still sat above those blocks. Reproduced live on 7cd3648 with real Hermes 0.21.5 under the same isolation as F3: the third `/status` in a pane showed "Runs in the terminal" (`baseline-7cd3648c/`). #### Fix herdr reports, per pane, how many rows have scrolled into history (`scroll.max_offset_from_bottom`, minus `offset_from_bottom`). Measured live, it tracks the text exactly: a 12-row shift, with every overlapping line equal. The fix places the send-time screen by that row, and keeps the text anchor as the fallback: - `server/core/composer.ts`: after the send-time screen read, the send reads the pane's row once (`paneScrollInfo`). That read only records the send, so it runs alongside delivery and is never awaited (01a7a0e). The row is kept only when the answer equals the row the send's earlier `paneGet` gave, i.e. nothing scrolled while the screen was read. An answer taken after the echo scrolled the history disagrees and is dropped. A failed read is dropped too, and so is one that arrives after the send was recorded too late for its echo reservation; then the text anchor applies. Delivery never waits on it. - `server/prompt.ts`: each prompt poll passes the row from the snapshot it took before its screen read. - `server/outcome.ts`: `scrolledAnchor` puts the send-time screen's last line at `last - (top_now - top_sent)`. It accepts that only when every line of the send-time screen still on screen sits exactly where the shift puts it. Both the owned block (`ownedCommandScreen`) and the next send's echo reservation (`reserveResultEchoes`) use it. Without rows, or when the lines disagree (a resize or reflow), the text anchor applies as before. IS-2 still holds. A result is shown only from the block under the send's own reserved echo. A send's row is exact: the same before and after its screen. A poll's row is read before its screen, so it can only lag. A lag moves the anchor down, which means "no echo owned yet", never "an earlier send's echo". A later send with no new output stays accepted: same row, so the anchor is the end of its own screen and nothing lies after it. Not changed: other agents' readers, the Hermes reader, and the queued-input path (`server/core/pending.ts`). Queued sends carry no row and keep the text anchor. Accepted limitation: once herdr's history cap is reached, the row stops growing; the line check then rejects a non-periodic shift, and the text anchor applies again. Known limits: - The row anchor assumes that no other device scrolls the pane's viewport while the send-time screen is read. Today `freeHermesInput` refuses such a send: it trusts the viewport's colors only while `viewportShowsLive` holds before and after the read, and otherwise treats the input row as a draft. - A `/status` block that no send owns can be carried forward to a later send's anchor. Main behaves the same; this PR does not change it. - `printedPastEarlier` trusts herdr's history rows with no line check. If herdr renumbered its history between two sends, it could misplace the earlier send's screen and let a later send own a pending send's block. There is no evidence that herdr 0.9.5 renumbers its history (omo review r2 S3). #### Tests (failing first) - New `server/core/hermes-repeat-outcome.test.ts` drives the real path: `createSubmitText` (the composer's send, including `freeHermesInput`) and `GET /api/pane/prompt` (`handlePromptRequest`). Stubbed herdr calls serve a real recording, `server/fixtures/hermes-results/status-repeat-120.json`: six `/status` sends to Hermes 0.21.5 in a 120x40 herdr 0.9.5 pane, each with its send-time detection read, the colored visible read, the read after its block printed, and the history rows (equal before and after each read). - Each of the six sends is `accepted` while its echo has not printed (earlier identical blocks on screen are not its own), then `result-observed` with `recognized-result` and exactly its own block as `result_text`, while the earlier sends keep theirs. - Negative case: after a resolved `/status`, another `/status` with nothing new printed (same screen, same row) stays `accepted` and carries no `result_text`. - Failing first: with `server/outcome.ts`, `server/prompt.ts` and `server/core/composer.ts` at 7cd3648, both tests fail (0 pass, 2 fail: `Expected: "result-observed"`, `Received: "accepted"`). With the fix, 2 pass (`failing-first.txt`). - Mutation check: reverting only the reservation's scroll anchor fails the six-send test. Reverting only the owned-block scroll anchor fails both tests. - The live failure at the fifth send, first seen with an intermediate build, was replayed offline from the logged reads and rows (`harness/replay.ts`, `harness/replay-debug390-reads.json`). All six sends resolve with the final code. #### Gates - `bun run typecheck`: exit 0 (`gate-typecheck.txt`). - `UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast`: workflow syntax, generated types and themes, typecheck and build ok; unit 5672 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 410 files; EXIT=0 (`gate-check-fast.txt`). - Outcome and Hermes units (`server/outcome*.test.ts`, `server/dialogs/hermes*.test.ts`, `server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts`, `server/core/hermes-repeat-outcome.test.ts`, `server/core/ownership.test.ts`, `server/rewind-outcomes.test.ts`, `scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts`): 164 pass, 0 fail (`gate-units.txt`). - Contracts `server/hermes.contract.test.ts` and `server/outcome.contract.test.ts`: 10 pass, 0 fail (`gate-contracts.txt`). - Run as `env -i HOME=<tmp> PATH=<tmp bin>:/usr/bin:/bin … bun run check run bun test --timeout 15000 …`, where `<tmp bin>` has stand-in `muse` and `codex` (`exec cat`) and links to bun, node, herdr and git. - That runs on `check run`'s own isolated herdr. The shared default test session was not restarted. #### Changelog `changelog.d/hermes-repeat-status-result.md` (### Fixed). #### In this branch The pick applied without a conflict. Todo 39 also changed `server/prompt.ts`, but the two changes do different things: - 35 adds `top: viewportTop(pane.scroll)` to the `commandOutcome` call for each send. - 39 filters the mapped outcomes afterwards by session identity. - The composer's `{ ...command, top }` copy keeps 39's `sessionChange` field. So 39 still drops outcomes from earlier sessions and keeps the row of the send that changed the session, and 35 still gives each repeated send its own block. Both test sets pass together on the branch (see Gates). ## 36. Every reader of a pane's agent goes through resolveAgent, with the pane's OmO roots where it matters (IS-5) **Cause.** Four sites on main still read `pane.agent ?? pane.agent_session?.agent`: - the omp `/model` to `/switch` rewrite in `server/core/composer.ts`; - `openCodePaneService`, `openCodeSkillsToType` and `startOpenCodeWatch` in `server/opencode-native.ts`. herdr labels an OmO pane `pi` while it waits and `claude` while its claude-sdk child runs, and the label can lag behind an OmO started in a pane it named otherwise. Only the pane's process roots tell OmO apart. `resolveAgent(pane)` without roots returns the same label, so replacing the reads alone would change nothing. **Fix.** Each site goes through `resolveAgent` (1cab346). Where an OmO pane could be mistaken, the pane's roots come along too (b87457d, a2e50b0), read with `paneProcessRoots` and filtered through `typingRoots` (only an OmO process holding a session outranks the label, as for typing): - **Composer, omp `/model` rewrite.** When the label resolves to `omp` and the pane's session is not herdr's own omp session (`agent_session.source !== "herdr:omp"`), the agent is resolved again with the roots. A session-holding OmO is then OmO, so its `/model` is sent as typed, not rewritten to `/switch`, and it does not wait for omp's startup report. A pane herdr reports as omp skips the extra process read. - **`openCodePaneService` and `openCodeSkillsToType`.** Roots are read only for an opencode-labelled pane (a2e50b0). A pane labelled anything else is not OpenCode and returns at once, with no process read. A pane labelled `opencode` is resolved again with its roots before any service lookup or skill typing, so a session-holding OmO there is not treated as OpenCode. `openCodeSkillsToType` also returns before reading roots on Windows or when the text has no `@`. - **`startOpenCodeWatch` stays label-only.** It is synchronous on the send path, and reading roots would make the send wait on herdr. It starts only for a send whose own agent is `opencode`, on a pane carrying an OpenCode session id. It applies events only after the pane's service and session are verified, either recently or in the background through `openCodePaneService`. That verification reads the roots, so a session-holding OmO pane labelled `opencode` fails it and the watch is dropped before any event counts. This last point comes from reading the code: no live run had an OmO pane that herdr labels `opencode`. `resolveAgent`'s rules, the OpenCode identity gates and the Windows exclusion are unchanged. **Tests (failing first).** `resolveAgent` and `paneProcessRoots` are not mocked in any of them. What each test stubs: - `server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts`: "does not rewrite /model when the resolved pane agent is OmO". It stubs herdr's `process_info` answer and OmO's holder record (`omoProcessIdentity`). A pane herdr labels `omp`, with a session-holding OmO in its foreground, gets `/model` as typed. - `server/opencode-native.test.ts`, "does not treat an OmO pane herdr labels opencode as OpenCode": - The pane is labelled `opencode`, with a real OmO holder record for this process in a temporary HOME (`omoProcessIdentity` is not stubbed). Only herdr's `process_info` answer and `processEnviron` are stubbed. - `paneProcessRoots` finds the session-holding OmO. - `openCodePaneService` returns null and `openCodeSkillsToType` types no skill, both without a service lookup. - `server/opencode-native.test.ts`, "does not probe process roots for a non-OpenCode skill send": an `@file` sent to a Claude pane makes no herdr call and no service lookup. - Failing first: - With b87457d's source hunks reverted, the composer test and the then-current OpenCode test fail (0 pass, 2 fail) (`group-H/final-t36-t39-failing-first.txt`; that log names the commit by its pre-rebase hash 8e6cffdb). - With a2e50b0's source hunk reverted, the probe test fails, and the OmO test still passes because b87457d already covers that case (`group-H/t36c-failing-first.txt`; pre-rebase hashes 2e208555 and 8e6cffdb). - Acceptance: `rg -n 'agent \?\? [a-z.?]*agent_session\?\.agent' server --glob '!*.test.ts'` prints only `server/pane-context.ts:25`. ## 37. A fresh OpenCode 2 pane offers its skills in OpenCode 2's own form (F3 D2, IS-1) **Cause.** `GET /api/pane/commands` took the catalog shape from the pane's session store. A fresh OpenCode pane has no session yet, so the route fell back to the v1 shape and listed project and user skills as `/name`, which OpenCode 2 rejects. `GET /api/agent/commands` already used the installed version. **Fix.** When the resolved agent is `opencode` and the store gives no version, the route picks the shape from `openCodeInstalledVersion(options.openCodeStateDir)` (the service file), as `/api/agent/commands` does. - That version only chooses the syntax. Rows stay `provenance.verified: false`. - Once the pane has a session, the store's version wins as before. - Without a service file, the v1 fallback stays. - Nothing is spawned, no service is started or ensured, and opencode's binary is not read. **Tests (failing first).** New cases in `server/pane-routes.test.ts` use a `mkdtemp` state dir: - A session-less pane with a service file naming 2.0.32 gets its project skill with `trigger: "@"` and `verified: false`. - Without a service file, it gets the v1 `/` row. - A pane whose store records a version keeps that version's rows. On 7cd3648 the `@` case fails (9 pass, 1 fail: `Expected: "@"`, `Received: undefined`; `group-H/t37-failing-first.txt`). ## 38. Terminal-command notice actions fit a phone width (IS-1) **Cause.** `.composer-notice-actions` was `inline-flex; flex: none`. The `/resume` terminal notice has three actions (Earlier sessions…, Open Terminal, Run in Terminal) plus the dismiss X. At 390 px they ran past the composer's right edge and cut off the X (F3, `F3-real-qa/history-resume.390.after-send.png`). **Fix** (`src/components/ComposerNotices.css`, tokens only): - The actions shrink and wrap, trailing-aligned. When the column is too narrow, they move to a line of their own under the text. - The dismiss is pinned to the row's top-trailing corner, on space the row keeps clear for it, with a `--touch-target` square under a coarse pointer. - The 1280 px notice band is pixel-identical in both schemes. - No action is dropped or renamed, and none changes what it sends. - DESIGN.md's notices entry describes the wrapping and the dismiss's corner. **Design followed:** Follows Primer's Banner anatomy (dismiss pinned to the top-trailing corner, actions dropping below on a narrow viewport), with the actions trailing so Run in Terminal stays over Send. **Tests (failing first).** `scripts/skill-menu-cases/claude-terminal.ts` gains a `/resume` scenario at 1280, 390 and 320 px in light and dark. It asserts that every action button and the dismiss lie inside the composer's column (`getBoundingClientRect`). Its builder reports it failed on 7cd3648 at 390 and 320. On this branch `bun scripts/agent-skill-menu-demo-regression.ts claude-terminal` passes, with 36 screenshots (`group-H/claude-terminal-demo.log`, `group-H/t38-screens/resume-{light,dark}-{1280,390,320}.png`). ## 39. Chat shows only the current session's command outcomes after an agent restart (IS-2) **Cause.** The server keeps Chat sends per pane, not per session (`server/prompt.ts`). After an agent restarted in the same pane, `GET /api/pane/prompt` still returned recent sends from the earlier pane identity (`outcomeIdentity`: terminal and agent session). The client then placed them as provisional rows in the new conversation, so F3 saw the earlier session's command rows and states in the new session's Chat. **Fix (server-side; what is sent is unchanged).** `commandOutcomes` shows a send only while it belongs to the pane's current session and agent process. - **Current session (485c64e).** A send is shown while its identity (terminal and `agent_session` at send time) is the pane's current one. - **Session change (485c64e, f5ff583).** The send that itself changes the session is the exception: a Chat `/clear`, `/new`, `/reset` or `/resume` that matches a builtin row (`sessionChange`). It stays visible in the next conversation only, with its own state, also when a send in the new session arrives before the first poll. - **Send-time binding of the agent process (e16904c, 01a7a0e, ba5a77c).** `bindCommandProcess` records the agent process a send went to, for a direct Chat send (`server/core/composer.ts`) and for a queued message's delivery (`server/core/pending.ts`). - Every command send is bound, also one whose session is already known. F2 suggested binding only sends made before the session is known (01a7a0e tried that). A live run showed it is not enough: after `/exit` and `claude` in the same pane, herdr kept reporting the old Claude session id for the new process for at least 20 s, and the old `/context` row stayed (Claude 2.1.305, herdr 0.9.5). ba5a77c binds every send again, still off the send path. Its unit case, "omits a known session's sends once a restarted agent still reports that session id", fails on 01a7a0e's rule. - It picks from `agentProcesses` (`server/conversation.ts`), the one matcher `paneProcessRoots` also uses: the native agent (a process whose own binary is the send's agent) before its launcher (`node`, `bun` or `python` running the agent's script; for OmO, its own process). It keys on the agent's own pid and start time, not the process-group id. When the agent has no native child and its launcher leads the process group, that launcher is the agent process and is picked. - It records the pid, plus the process start time on Linux. - **Recording never delays delivery (01a7a0e).** Nothing the binding reads is awaited before the write: - A queued message reuses the `pane.process_info` answer its identity check already read before the write. A Claude or Hermes send reuses the answer its `paneProcessRoots` probe read before the send. These are pre-send snapshots, so they name the process present at send time. - Any other send starts its `pane.process_info` read alongside `agent.prompt`. Because that answer can arrive after the agent was replaced, a process whose start time (an upper bound read from `/proc`, or `ps` on macOS) is not before the send is not bound: the send stays unidentified, as when the read fails. The pid-and-start-time check needs no extra read before the send; a pre-send read for every agent would put a herdr round trip back on the send path. - The read's promise stays on the send (`visibility.binding`). A poll waits for it for at most 250 ms (1 s before todo 42), and a send whose binding has not landed is judged again at the next poll. - **Polls check that process and never adopt another (746f148).** Each poll looks for the bound pid among the pane's foreground agent processes. - It marks the send replaced, and never shows it again, only on proof: the pid is gone, or on Linux its start time differs. Where no start time is known, todo 42 decides: macOS and other Unixes check the pid with `kill(pid, 0)`, and Windows keeps two polls in a row without the process as proof (section 42). - A process that is only out of the foreground for a moment (Ctrl+Z, another process group holding the terminal) keeps its rows. - This also covers a replacement that no poll saw (the agent restarted before the first poll) and one under a wrapper loop that keeps the same process group. - A poll reads `pane.process_info` only while some bound send is not replaced and is still waiting for its session, or is inside its 10-minute window. - **Null to id, for that process only (e0ad43d, e16904c).** An agent reports no session id before its first turn. A send made while the pane had no `agent_session` takes the first session id the same terminal reports, and its session-change identity follows, only while its bound process is still running. A send bound to no process because the process-info answer showed it started after the send (the late-answer guard) is never adopted into a discovered session: it keeps its send-time identity. A send for which no agent process matched at all is adopted since todo 42 (section 42). - **Evidence.** The same rule decides whether the current screen can be read as a send's evidence. A session id appearing is never itself evidence that a command completed. - **Cost.** Recording adds no herdr read before delivery. A command send without a pre-send answer (not Claude, Hermes or a queued message) reads `pane.process_info` once, alongside delivery. `server/core/omp-submit.test.ts` counts that one read; omp's startup wait reads none. - **Known limits.** - Outside Linux the process has no start time, so a replacement that reuses the same pid cannot be told apart. The fragment says so. - The late-answer guard needs the process's start time, which is known only on Linux (`/proc`) and macOS (`ps`). On Windows, and on Unixes other than these two, a send whose `pane.process_info` answer arrives after the agent was replaced is bound to the replacement. **Tests (failing first).** - `server/outcome.test.ts`, the "session-scoped command outcomes" cases: - earlier-session sends are omitted after an agent restart; - only the initiating `/clear`, `/new` and `/resume` row is kept across its session change, with no evidence invented; - first-turn receipts are kept through session discovery for Claude Code and Codex, and dropped on a new session, terminal or process; - a first-turn session-changing command is not carried into yet another session or a different agent process. On 7cd3648 the first cases fail (`group-H/t39-failing-first.log`). With e0ad43d's `server/prompt.ts` reverted, 13 of the discovery cases fail (`group-H/final-t36-t39-failing-first.txt`). - `server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts`, "binds a Codex command at send time": six scenarios (the four below, plus "suspended" and "settled" from the F2 review fixes further down; todo 42 adds a seventh, "no agent process") through the real composer send and `GET /api/pane/prompt`, with herdr's `process_info` stubbed as a shell loop, a `node` launcher and the native `codex`: - unpolled replacement: the native agent is replaced before any poll; - wrapper restart: the native agent is replaced under the same process group; - first turn: the same process reports its first session id, and the row stays `accepted` with no evidence; - reused pid (Linux only): same pid, new start time. The process is read once at send time in every scenario: `readsAtSend` is asserted to be 1 in all of them. - With e16904c's source hunks reverted on the branch, three of the four scenarios fail (unpolled replacement, wrapper restart, reused pid), and so does omp's process-read count (24 pass, 5 fail). Restored, 114 pass (`group-H/r3-t39-failing-first.txt`). - F2 review fixes, failing first (`group-H/r4-f2-failing-first.txt`). These are new cases in `server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts`; with the sources at e16904c, 6 of 26 fail: - "delivers before a slow / never answering send-time process read for its outcome can affect its deadline": `client.paneProcessInfo` answers 2 s late, or never. The send is delivered with the clock unchanged (`expect(now).toBe(10_000)`), and a poll still answers within its binding wait (1 s then, 250 ms since todo 42). At e16904c both time out without typing anything. - "delivers before a slow / never answering scroll read …": the same for `client.paneScrollInfo` on a Claude send. A row that answers after delivery and equals the snapshot's row is attached afterwards; a failing or unanswered read attaches none. At e16904c both time out. - The failing variants of both pass at e16904c too: a rejected read was already caught. - "binds a Codex command at send time: suspended" (Linux): the native agent is out of the foreground for one poll and back. Its row is kept through that poll and through session discovery. At e16904c the single miss hid it for good. - "binds a Codex command at send time: settled": once the session is found and the window is over, two more polls make no `pane.process_info` read. At e16904c every poll read it. - `readsAtSend` is now asserted to be 1 in every scenario. - `server/outcome.test.ts`, "omits a known session's sends once a restarted agent still reports that session id": it fails with 01a7a0e's bind-before-a-session-only rule and passes with ba5a77c. - With the fix, `server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts` passes 26 of 26. **Real agents on d4dd48d8, whose source is the final head's (ba5a77c changes only a test).** Setup: - Real Codex 0.163.0 and Claude Code 2.1.305, both driven through the server's own WebSocket submit and `GET /api/pane/prompt`. - `env -i` with an isolated HOME (`/tmp/f2r4/home`) and fake keys; Codex's turns got OpenAI 401, so nothing was billed. - herdr 0.9.5 session `f2r4-verify` under that HOME, with herdr's Codex and Claude integrations installed there only. The driver refuses any other socket. - Codex 0.163 runs hooks in one app-server daemon per HOME, which carries the first pane's `HERDR_PANE_ID`. So each Codex case stops that HOME's daemon and opens a fresh pane. - Evidence: `group-H/r4-real/` (`codex.jsonl`, `claude2.jsonl`, `claude3.jsonl`, `claude4.jsonl`, `harness/`). Results: | Case | Result | | --- | --- | | Codex first turn: Chat `$imagegen` while the session is null, then the same process reports its session | row kept (`accepted`) | | Codex restart with polls running (Ctrl+C twice, `codex`) | row gone as soon as Codex quit, still gone once the new session appears | | Unpolled replacement: send, no poll, Codex replaced, new session, then the first poll | `[]` | | Wrapper loop `sh -c 'while :; do codex; sleep 1; done'`: group leader `sh` unchanged, native pid replaced | row gone at the restart and after the new session | | Codex Ctrl+Z, two polls, `fg`, then its session appears | row kept throughout | | Claude `/context`, then `/exit` and `claude` in the same pane | old row gone (`claude2.jsonl`). An earlier run on 746f148, which had 01a7a0e's bind-only-before-a-session rule, saw herdr keep the old session id for 20 s, and the old row stayed (`claude2-746f1489-stale-session.txt`). ba5a77c fixes that | | Claude `/context`, then Chat `/clear` | only `/clear:unknown` is kept, in the new session | | Claude Chat `/clear`, then `/context` once Claude is idle | both rows kept (`/clear:unknown`, `/context:result-observed`) | ## 40. Agent names in New session and History use each agent's own name **Cause.** `AGENT_LABELS` in `server/index.ts` feeds the agent kinds listed to the New session and History pickers. It had no entry for hermes, grok, agy, devin or cmd, so F3 saw "hermes" in lowercase beside "Claude Code" and "Oh My Pi". **Fix.** Each gets its product name: Hermes, Grok, Antigravity, Devin, Command Code. Kinds and ids are unchanged. herdr 0.9.5 has no `cmd` kind, so Command Code's label is verified in code only. No herdr in the tests lists it. **Tests (failing first).** The agent-kinds case in `server/api.contract.test.ts` asserts: - `Hermes` for hermes; - that every listed `SUPPORTED_AGENT_KINDS` kind other than `pi` (whose product name is its id) carries a label that is not its kind. The builder's version also asserted that every supported kind is listed. `omo` and `gjc` are listed only where the server finds them on PATH, so that held only on a machine with both installed and failed under `env -i`. The integration narrowed it to the kinds that are listed. With `server/index.ts` from 7cd3648 the case fails, and on the branch it passes (`group-H/t40-failing-first.txt`). ## 41. Rewind to here works with Claude Code 2.1.305 (F3 r2 D3) **Cause.** Claude Code 2.1.305's rewind confirm step asks "Confirm you want to restore to the point before you sent this message:". 2.1.304 asked "Confirm you want to restore the conversation to the point before you sent this message:". The rewind reader matched only the older line (`CLAUDE_REWIND_CONFIRM_RE` in `server/dialogs/claude.ts`), so it never read the confirm step, and every Rewind to here ended "Not rewound" (F3 r2: `F3-real-qa-r2/rewind.390.confirm.txt`, `F3-real-qa-r2/rewind.1280.fresh-msg.confirm.txt`). **Fix.** `/^Confirm you want to restore (?:the conversation )?to the point before you sent this message:$/` accepts both wordings and stays anchored to the whole line. Nothing else in the reader changes. **Fixtures.** `server/fixtures/claude-rewind-2.1.305-confirm-kiwi-145.txt` and `server/fixtures/claude-rewind-2.1.305-confirm-cherry-120.txt` come from those two F3 r2 recordings. The recordings' text dump dropped blank lines, so the blank lines between the panel's blocks were put back as 2.1.305's list draws them live. The fixtures are therefore reconstructed screens, not byte-for-byte recordings. **Tests (failing first)** in `server/dialogs/claude.test.ts`: - "reads Claude Code 2.1.305's confirm step, and answers it": both fixtures parse to the four choices, with the sent message as the body. The reader's interaction answers Restore conversation with one Enter. - "reads either wording, and no other confirm question": the 2.1.304 fixture still parses. Four near-misses parse to nothing: restoring "the code", "the code and conversation", "before this message", and "delete". - With only the regex change reverted, the 2.1.305 test fails (28 pass, 1 fail). Restored, 29 pass (`group-H/t41-failing-first.txt`). **Gates on e1a304a.** - `bun run typecheck`: exit 0. - `bun test server/dialogs/claude.test.ts server/conversation.test.ts`: `server/dialogs/claude.test.ts` passes 29 of 29. `server/conversation.test.ts` passes 140 and fails 1: "Devin pane identity > forgets a pane's Devin history cache on pane teardown and test-suite reset" timed out at its 5 s limit. - That test is load-bound and unrelated to this change. Run alone at load 25 (another session's browser QA), it passed and failed at every commit tried, 4.5-7.3 s per run: origin/main a59edbd, e16904c, ba5a77c and e1a304a. - Todo 41 changes only the Claude rewind reader. ## 42. Command rows survive an unknown agent process, a stale session id and a suspended agent off Linux (F2 r3, omo review) b5c0af5, 70b67f3 and c1970d1; they answer F2 r3 MEDIUM-1 and MEDIUM-2 and the omo review findings. - **No process found is no evidence of a replacement.** - When the binding finds no foreground process that matches the agent, the send is marked `unmatched`. That happens on native Windows, which lists only the shell, and for an agent whose executable is named differently from its kind. - An `unmatched` send adopts the session that the same agent reports in the same terminal as its own (the session's `agent` must equal the send's; omo review r2 S1). Before, such a send was never adopted and was hidden once the agent's session started. A failed `pane.process_info` read at binding counts as unmatched too. - A later session or terminal still hides it. - A send whose process was found but answered as started after the send (the late-answer guard) is still left unidentified and never adopted. - **Stale session id (F2 r3 MEDIUM-1).** A restarted Claude Code keeps the previous session id in herdr until its first turn. - A send bound to a different process than an earlier send under the same session identity, or one whose earlier send was already replaced, therefore waits for its own session. - It remembers that stale identity, and adopts the next session the same terminal reports, never the stale one. - So it stays once herdr corrects the id. - The wait is bounded (omo review r2 B1, 436c9b2). A stale send adopts the next session only within `STALE_SESSION_LAG_MS` (60 s) of its send, while its bound process is found unchanged, and only while no later Chat `/clear`, `/new` or `/resume` exists in the pane. herdr's lag was seen at 20 s (F2 r3) and at least 45 s (todo 42's Claude probe), so 60 s covers it with a margin while keeping the window short. Past the bound it stays with the session it was made in and is hidden on the next session change like any earlier-session row, and its extra `pane.process_info` reads stop. - This matters when the new process truly owns the same session (`claude -c`, `claude --resume`, `codex resume`): a resumed session's rows no longer follow a later Chat `/clear` into the cleared conversation, nor a terminal-typed session change after the bound. - **Liveness off Linux.** Linux still reads `/proc`: a pid that is gone, or that has another start time, means replaced. - macOS and other Unixes check the pid with `kill(pid, 0)` (`processAlive`, where `EPERM` counts as running). A gone pid hides the send at the first look. A live one keeps it, including an agent suspended with Ctrl+Z, because these systems hand a pid out again only after cycling through the whole range. - Windows reuses a finished process's pid at once, so a live pid proves nothing there, and the two-misses-in-a-row rule stays. - **Timing.** - A poll waits at most 250 ms for a send's binding (it was 1 s). - The binding's macOS start-time read (`ps -o etime=`) is now an awaited child process (`processStartUpperBoundAsync`), not a synchronous call that held the event loop. - The session-change identity is resolved in a loop before the filter instead of inside it. - **`paneProcessRoots` launcher preference (70b67f3, tests only).** - New `server/conversation.test.ts` case "reads an npm Codex's roots from its native child, not the node launcher listed before it": the roots come from the native child even when herdr lists the `node` launcher first. - The Hermes repeat test now stubs the binding's process read, and the scroll-read test awaits the read itself instead of yielding a turn. - **c1970d19** is a comment only: what a scroll read that answers after the send was noted does. **Tests (failing first).** - New in `server/outcome.test.ts`: - "keeps codex's first-turn receipt through session discovery when its process cannot be told", for "no process" and "another program"; - "keeps a send to a restarted agent once herdr corrects the session id kept from the process before", polled and unpolled; - "leaves a send unidentified when its process answers as started after the send, and never adopts it"; - "hides a send whose process cannot be told apart only after two misses in a row"; - "keeps a send while its live process is out of the foreground (Ctrl+Z)"; - "hides a send at the first look without its process once that process is gone". - New in `server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts`: the "no agent process" scenario. - With b5c0af5's source hunks reverted, 6 of 122 fail: "no agent process", both stale-session cases, both cannot-be-told cases, and the late-answer case. Restored, 122 pass (`group-H/t42-failing-first.txt`). - The two-miss, Ctrl+Z and gone-pid tests pass with and without the change; they pin each platform's rule. They branch on the real `process.platform`, so on this Linux host they ran the Linux branch only. - New in r2 (0901a31): "does not carry a resumed session's send into the conversation a later Chat /clear starts" (review PROBE-B1); "drops a resumed session's send once its session changes in the terminal after herdr's lag, and stops reading its process" (PROBE-B2, with a process-read count); "does not adopt a send no process was bound to into another agent's session in the same terminal" (PROBE-C). All three fail on 9c80d7b and pass on the fix. Mutations: dropping the lag bound, ignoring a later Chat session change, or dropping the agent check each fails exactly its test; F2's MEDIUM-1 probes (polled and unpolled) still pass (`todo-42/r2/`). - **Known limit.** Within the 60 s bound, a session change typed in the terminal of an agent that resumed the same session can still carry a send made after the restart into the new session. The fragment says so. **Not run.** - herdr correcting a restarted Claude's session id was not seen live. With a fake key, Claude Code never completes a turn, so herdr never reports the new id. Only the unit cases above (polled and unpolled) cover the stale-session rule. - The Windows branch (two misses, no late-answer guard) runs only in the Native Windows CI check. The macOS branch (`kill(pid, 0)`, `ps` start time) was not run on a Mac either. ## 43. Hermes `/status` card on a first send, after a missed one, and with a scrolled-up device (F3 r2 D1; CodeRabbit 4337513017) **First-send cause (685176f).** When a Chat page attaches its terminal, Hermes redraws its input area. On a loaded host, the send-time detection read (`freeHermesInput`'s live read, right before `agent.prompt`) can catch the `❯` input line alone at the bottom, with no status bar and no rules. - `hermesChromeStart` then found no chrome, so the send-time snapshot kept the `❯ <placeholder>` line in its tail. - No later screen, with its chrome stripped, contains that line, so neither the text anchor nor the row anchor could place the snapshot. - The first `/status` in a fresh pane went unowned ("Runs in the terminal"), and each later send in that pane inherited it. `hermesChromeStart` now also takes a lone input line at the bottom as chrome: one with no rule above it, under the status bar when that is drawn. The fixture `server/fixtures/hermes-results/status-first-redraw-120.json` was recorded from real Hermes 0.21.5 under load. **Later-repeat ownership (f133fa5).** Before, a same-command send that owned nothing reserved nothing (`null`), and every later repeat inherited that null for ten minutes. - Now, when an earlier send's reservation is unknown, or its anchor is lost and it was not result-observed, a later send can still reserve its first echo (`printedPastEarlier`). - It does so only when its own screen already shows, below the latest earlier send whose count is known, as many complete blocks as that send is owed. A complete block is an echo with a result block the reader recognizes under it, and herdr's history rows place the earlier send's screen, with no text anchor. - With fewer complete blocks, or either send missing its row, the later send stays unreserved, so it never claims a block that could be an earlier send's. **Detection anchor (a74003f; CodeRabbit 4337513017).** herdr's detection read is the live screen even while a device has the terminal scrolled up. On herdr 0.9.5 it was byte-identical at offset 12. - Its first row is `max_offset_from_bottom`, not the viewport's `max_offset_from_bottom - offset_from_bottom`. - The send-time row (`server/core/composer.ts`) and the poll's row (`server/prompt.ts`) both use `max_offset_from_bottom` now. Before, a scrolled-up device shifted the anchor by its scroll offset. **Tests (failing first)** in `server/core/hermes-repeat-outcome.test.ts`: - "owns a fresh pane's first /status, read while Hermes redrew its input area for a terminal that attached (F3 r2 D1)"; - "owns its /status block while another device has the terminal scrolled up: herdr's detection read is the live screen"; - "a /status whose earlier /status lost its anchor > lets each later send on a stable screen own its own block once the earlier block is complete on its screen"; - "a /status whose earlier /status lost its anchor > keeps a later send unclaimed while the earlier send's block could still be the one it echoes". On the base ba5a77c the first three fail and the fourth passes, as a guard should (`todo-43/failing-first.txt`). Added in r2 (0901a31; omo review r2 S2, S4), both guards that pass on 9c80d7b and are pinned by mutation (`todo-42/r2/`): - "a /status whose earlier /status lost its anchor > counts every earlier send a later one may owe, not only the one whose count is known": the earlier send whose count is known, then a send whose screen and row were lost, then the next send whose screen shows only the known block complete. The next send stays unclaimed when the pending send's block prints. It fails with `complete >= owed` mutated to `complete >= 1`. - `server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts` "records a send's history row as the live screen's while another device has the terminal scrolled up": at send time the device is scrolled up by 3, and the noted send's row is `max_offset_from_bottom` (7). It fails with the composer reverted to the viewport row. (Hermes itself refuses a send while the device is scrolled, `freeHermesInput`, so the send-time half is pinned through a Claude send.) **Real Hermes (`todo-43/`).** Setup: - Real Hermes v0.21.5+8892.g354724f and herdr 0.9.5, under `env -i` with `HOME=/tmp/t43/home` and a fake `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`. - An isolated herdr session, `t43-verify`. - The server on the Tailscale address, through a recording proxy that logs every `pane.read` answer and scroll row (`rpc.jsonl`). Results: - **Head:** 42 of 42 ordinary `/status` sends are result-observed, each with its own card. They ran across 14 fresh panes, 21 at 1280 and 21 at 390, and 18 of them under CPU load. Five first sends hit the lone-input redraw frame at send time and were owned (`real-head/summary.json`). - **Base ba5a77c** under the same load: 3 of 4 fresh panes lost their first `/status` ("Runs in the terminal"), and each pane's later sends inherited it (`real-base/`). - **False-card control:** at each width, the proxy dropped one delivery (`agent.prompt` answered but never forwarded). That send stays "Accepted", and the send after it stays "Runs in the terminal" instead of claiming a block that is not its own (`real-head/summary.json`, `dropProbes`). Fragment: `changelog.d/hermes-first-status-result.md`. ## Gates On the final head 0901a31 (base a59edbd), each run on its own at load average 2.7-3.9 on 32 cores (`todo-42/r2/`): - `bun run typecheck`: exit 0. - `bun test server/outcome.test.ts server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts server/core/hermes-repeat-outcome.test.ts server/dialogs/hermes.test.ts src/lib/outcomeChip.test.ts server/core server/conversation.test.ts server/process-start.test.ts server/opencode-native.test.ts server/pane-routes.test.ts server/dialogs/claude.test.ts`: 395 pass, 0 fail in 17 files (`todo-42/r2/units.log`). - `bun scripts/command-outcome-demo-regression.ts`: 4 runs, all pass (`todo-42/r2/command-outcome-demo.log`). - Contracts `server/hermes.contract.test.ts`, `server/outcome.contract.test.ts`, `server/pending-input.contract.test.ts` and `server/api.contract.test.ts`: 231 pass, 0 fail (`todo-42/r2/contracts.log`). - They ran in one `bun run check run` on its own isolated herdr, under `env -i` with an isolated HOME. - PATH held stand-in `muse` and `codex` (`exec cat`); no real `hermes` or `claude` resolved. - The shared default test session was not restarted. - `UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast`: workflow syntax, generated types and themes, typecheck and build ok; unit 5756 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 411 files (`todo-42/r2/check-fast.log`). - The gates ran on the working tree that became 436c9b2 and 0901a31; the commits changed no file after them.

That lane includes the Devin cache test that timed out under load in section 41; it passed there. Todo 41's own gates are in section 41, and todos 42 and 43 name their failing-first runs in their sections. The checks below ran on earlier heads. On ba5a77c (base a59edbd): - `UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast`, run on its own (load average 4-5 on 32 cores): workflow syntax, generated types and themes, typecheck and build ok; unit 5733 pass, 0 fail, 8 skip in 411 files (`group-H/r4-check-fast.log`). - A first run on d4dd48d8 failed in `server/conversation.test.ts`: 11 "pane process roots" cases compared `paneProcessRoots`' whole answer with `toEqual`, and the answer now also carries `processes`. - The fixup in 01a7a0e compares the same fields (`omo`, `environ`, `pid`, `cwd`) with `toMatchObject`.

With that case, `server/outcome.test.ts` passes 86 of 86. On d4dd48d8, whose source is identical to ba5a77c (the rebase changed only `server/conversation.test.ts`): - `bun scripts/command-outcome-demo-regression.ts`: 4 runs, all pass (`group-H/r4-command-outcome-demo.log`). - Contracts `server/hermes.contract.test.ts`, `server/outcome.contract.test.ts`, `server/pending-input.contract.test.ts` and `server/api.contract.test.ts`: 231 pass, 0 fail (`group-H/r4-contracts.log`). - They ran in one `bun run check run` on its own isolated herdr, under `env -i` with an isolated HOME. - PATH held stand-in `muse` and `codex` (`exec cat`) and links to bun, node, herdr and git; no real `hermes` or `claude` resolved. - The shared default test session was not restarted. - Real Codex 0.163.0 and Claude Code 2.1.305 cases for todo 39 (see section 39): all as expected (`group-H/r4-real/`). On earlier heads, not re-run on the final head: - `bun test scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts`: 12 pass, on f958458's fragment. - fc075a23 (base 7cd3648): - `bun scripts/agent-skill-menu-demo-regression.ts claude-terminal`: 36 pass (`group-H/claude-terminal-demo.log`); - `bun test src/conventions.test.ts`: 6 pass. This also ran inside the final head's `check fast` unit lane.

## 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)) - An older answer cannot clear a newer finish. Agents whose chat cannot prove completion keep the dot conservatively; opening their Terminal view can acknowledge the output. ([#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. ([#1593](#1593)) ### Maintenance - Composer geometry regressions freeze the demo conversation while keeping it idle, so turn completion cannot change the transcript during measurements on phone and desktop. ([#1347](#1347) by @Yoonwoo-Ha) - Settings and PWA draft checks target the visible input explicitly; locale regressions cover native draft and placeholder heights on phone and desktop.

…and say both held reasons in the reader's language (#1969) Fixes #1547. ## Change A pane's first message is held for one of two reasons that shared the code `pending_target_changed`: the pane's terminal or agent session changed, or the agent started for that message came up and ended before the message went (#1532). The client could not tell them apart. `pending_target_changed` was also missing from `submitNote`, so `PendingMessages` showed the bridge's English reason (`Not sent: {message}`) in Korean, Japanese and Chinese. - `server/core/pending.ts`: the launch-ended hold (`LAUNCH_GONE`) gets its own code, `first_message_launch_ended`. `bindLaunched` now returns `"ended"` when the launched agent came up and left. The drain then holds the message with that reason and drains the pane once more. Send now answers that reason and re-holds with it. `launchBoundIn` stops re-reading a message held for either reason. `pendingContext` throws the shared `TARGET_CHANGED` constant instead of repeating its text. - Version skew: an older client takes a Send now answer with a code it does not know as "maybe typed", which would leave the row "Not confirmed" with Send now hidden. The `pending-action` frame therefore gains an optional `launch_ended: true`, which this client always sends (`src/lib/ws.ts`). A frame without it gets `pending_target_changed` for this case, which an older client takes as nothing typed. The held row every connection sees keeps the new reason. A new client against an older bridge just sees `pending_target_changed`, as before. - `src/lib/compose.ts`: both codes are in `submitNotTyped` and get their own note in `submitNote`. `src/components/PendingMessages.tsx` routes both codes to `submitNote`. - `src/lib/i18n/composer.{ko,ja,zh}.ts`: the two notes, next to `first_message_unattended`'s. - `docs/agent-commands.md`: the first-message paragraph names both codes and the frame flag. `DESIGN.md`: the first-message paragraph names the new hold reason. - `changelog.d/pending-launch-ended-note.md`. This changes the WebSocket contract (a new held reason and an optional `pending-action` field) and touches queued input. Per AGENTS.md it needs a real review. A launch also counts as ended while herdr still names its agent for a moment after the process exits, when the pane's shell itself is back in front (8efa7f6). An agent exec'd at the shell's pid keeps the shell's pid, so the process there counts as the shell only under a name other than the launched agent's, which the message keeps from the process read while that agent runs in front, from its queueing on (063fd3d, 726b73d). Without a known name, the reason stays `pending_target_changed`. Known limits: a launched process named like the shell (an `sh` wrapper under an `sh` shell) falls back to `pending_target_changed`. A drain that lands in the instant between a killed agent's exit and an `exec` of another holds the message as launch-ended, which is what it is at that moment. In every case the message is held and never typed; only the note differs. ## Design precedent None applies. This gives an existing held-message note its own wording, the way `first_message_unattended` already has one. No new UI. ## Validation - `server/pending-input.contract.test.ts`, the launched-agent cases: a launched agent that came up and quit is held with `first_message_launch_ended`, and Send now answers with it. A frame without `launch_ended` gets `pending_target_changed` while the row keeps the new reason. Another agent coming up in the terminal still holds the message with `pending_target_changed`. These cases were not re-run locally after the rebase: this PC is at its inotify instance limit, so watcher-backed contract tests fail with EMFILE here, and the herdr-backed check run was refused admission (a check slot port was held). CI's Integration job runs them. - `src/lib/compose.test.ts`, `src/components/PendingMessages.test.tsx` (ko, ja and zh rows for both codes, no English server text), `src/lib/ws.test.ts` (the frame carries `launch_ended`), and `src/lib/i18n.test.ts`. A mutation check: dropping the two codes from `PendingMessages.tsx` fails the new row test. - Browser QA on the demo build (fixture transport, no herdr session), in Korean at 1440×900 and 390×844 and in Japanese at 390×844, rerun after the rebase: two held first messages, one per code, each show their own Korean note and no English server text. - Reviews before the rebase: `omo-native-code-reviewer` approved with no HIGH finding. Codex (gpt-6.1-sol, xhigh) found no HIGH finding. Both raised the old-client skew, which the `launch_ended` flag fixes, and one test assertion that could not fail, which was replaced. Codex's LOW about identity-read races is the known limit above. - Reviews after the rebase onto main: `omo-native-code-reviewer` approved again with no CRITICAL, HIGH or MEDIUM finding. Its LOWs: `DESIGN.md` did not name the new reason (fixed here); the drain's `"ended"` branch is reached only when two quick pane reads disagree and has no test (correct as written); `launch_ended` is sent on every pending action, discards included (harmless); a comment above `targetChanged` on main belongs to `launchGone` (not in this diff). Codex (gpt-6.1-sol, xhigh) approved the rebased commit with no HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW finding; it also checked that a held message stays held in both version-skew directions and that the extra drain runs once. - `server/core/pending.test.ts` (each process read scripted in turn): a launched agent learned at an event, or bound at queueing and gone at the next read, then ended with the shell back under herdr's name for it, is first held with `first_message_launch_ended` and keeps it once herdr lets go. An agent of its kind exec'd at the shell's pid is held with `pending_target_changed`. Send now answers that reason, and `pending_target_changed` to a frame without `launch_ended`. Nothing reaches herdr's text, key or screen calls, the pty, or `submitText`. Each earlier commit of this PR fails its own case. On 726b73d, `-t 'first message'` in `server/pending-input.contract.test.ts` passes 19/0 on this PC. - Locally after the rebase onto 0.4.18: `bun run typecheck` passes, and `src/lib/compose.test.ts`, `src/components/PendingMessages.test.tsx`, `src/lib/ws.test.ts`, `src/lib/i18n.test.ts`, `src/conventions.test.ts` and `scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts` pass (189 tests, 0 failures). `bun run check fast` could not run its herdr-backed steps here for the same host reasons (inotify limit, check-slot admission), none of them in files this diff touches; per the lead it counts as passed locally, and GitHub CI runs the full suite. --------- Co-authored-by: mp <mp@local>
