Follow-up to F3/F4 of the agent-command-capabilities plan (#1435 ... #1512). Todos 35-40 (PR group H) fix what the final real QA (F3) and the ideal-state audit (F4) found on main 7cd3648. Todos 41 and 43 fix what the second round of real QA (F3 r2) found, todo 42 what the F2 r3 and omo reviews found, and three commits answer CodeRabbit's first review. None of them has a GitHub issue, so this PR closes none.

Branch fix/agent-command-gaps on origin/main a59edbd. It was built on 7cd3648 and rebased twice without conflicts: onto 56a6877 (after #1532), then onto a59edbd. One commit per todo, plus changelog fragments:

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.
  • c1970d1 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).

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.

  • 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).

    • 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/).

…m the installed version

A fresh OpenCode pane has no session store, so the pane commands route fell back to the v1 shape and listed project skills as /name, which OpenCode 2 rejects. Fall back to the service file's version for the syntax only, as /api/agent/commands does; rows stay unverified and nothing is spawned or ensured. A store-recorded version still wins.
…r on a phone

The composer notice's action row was inline-flex with flex: none, so the three
ways on of the /resume terminal notice (Earlier sessions..., Open Terminal, Run
in Terminal) plus the dismiss X ran past the column's edge at 390px and the X
was cut off (F3 real QA, history-resume.390.after-send.png).

The actions now shrink and wrap, trailing-aligned, on a line of their own when
the column is too narrow, and the X keeps the row's top trailing corner on space
the row reserves for it (Primer's Banner anatomy), so nothing is cut at any
width. The row's floor is its content box, so the X still fits under the
hairline a second row carries. The 1280px layout is unchanged (pixel-identical
notice band in both schemes). Tokens only; no action is dropped, renamed or
changed in what it sends.

The claude-terminal demo case gains a /resume scenario at 1280, 390 and 320 in
both schemes that asserts every action button and the dismiss lie inside the
composer's column (getBoundingClientRect); it failed on 7cd3648 at 390 and 320.
DESIGN.md's notices entry names the wrapping and the dismiss's corner.
A Chat send found its own output by locating the tail of the screen read
before the send in the screen polled after it. Once earlier identical
result blocks filled the pane, that tail matched in two places, or in a
wrong one, so from the third /status on the send's block was never owned
and the outcome fell to "Runs in the terminal" (F3 D1).

Place the send-time screen by herdr's history row instead: the composer
records the viewport's top row when the row read before the send-time
screen and the one read after it agree, the prompt poll reads it from the
snapshot taken before its screen, and the owned block and the echo
reservation use the shift between the two, verified line by line against
both screens. A poll's row can only lag its screen, which moves the anchor
down and never onto an earlier send's block. Without a row, or when the
lines disagree, the text anchor applies as before.

The test drives the composer's send and the prompt route over six real
Hermes 0.21.5 /status sends recorded with their screens and history rows.
…end path

Recording never delays or fails delivery. The send-time pane.process_info
read and the pane.get row read now run alongside agent.prompt or the
pasted write instead of before them, so a slow or unanswered herdr read
no longer holds the send or ends it in submit_timeout.

- The process binding reuses herdr's answer the send already read
  (the queued path's identity read, the Claude/Hermes roots probe).
  Without one it reads alongside delivery and rejects a process that
  started at or after the send, so a late answer never binds a
  replacement. A poll waits for the binding within a bound.
- Only sends whose session is not known yet are bound: no session at
  send time, or a /clear, /new or resume that changes it.
- The history row is kept once the read alongside delivery equals the
  snapshot's row; otherwise the text anchor applies.
… gone

A bound process missing from the foreground once (Ctrl+Z, another
process group holding the terminal) no longer hides the send's row for
good. It counts as replaced only when its pid is gone or its start time
differs on Linux, or after two misses in a row where no start time is
known. Polls read pane.process_info only while a bound send still waits
for its session or is inside its window.
A restarted Claude Code can keep reporting the old session id until its
first turn (seen live with Claude 2.1.305 under herdr 0.9.5), so a send
whose session was known could stay in the new process's Chat. Every
command send is bound again; the binding stays off the send path, and
Claude or Hermes sends reuse their pre-send process answer.

The pull request adds process- and session-aware command outcomes, viewport-based result matching, OpenCode version handling, agent labels, Claude and Hermes terminal fixes, and responsive composer notice behavior. It also adds regression tests, fixtures, and changelog entries.

Changes: Session-scoped command outcomes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Process detection and command binding
server/conversation.ts, server/prompt.ts, server/core/pending.ts, server/core/composer.ts, server/process-start.ts
Shared process matching identifies agent processes and OmO. Commands bind to observed process metadata.
Submission and viewport capture
server/core/composer.ts, server/core/pending.ts, server/core/outcome-delivery.test.ts
Submission paths record process and viewport metadata. Delivery tests cover replacements, restarts, OmO handling, delayed reads, and scrolling.
Session-scoped outcome retention
server/prompt.ts, server/outcome.test.ts
Outcome polling tracks process and session continuity. Results are retained or excluded across session changes, restarts, and missing identity.
Viewport-aware result matching
server/outcome.ts, server/herdr/client.ts, server/core/hermes-repeat-outcome.test.ts, server/fixtures/hermes-results/*
Result ownership uses history-row and viewport data. Hermes tests cover repeated commands, redraws, scrolling, and ambiguous ownership.

OpenCode skill handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
OpenCode agent and version resolution
server/opencode-native.ts, server/opencode-native.test.ts, server/pane-routes.ts, server/pane-routes.test.ts
OpenCode operations validate the active pane agent. Fresh panes use installed version data when applicable, while stored session versions take precedence.

Agent display labels

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent labels and API validation
server/index.ts, server/api.contract.test.ts, changelog.d/agent-picker-names.md
Hermes, Grok, Antigravity, Devin, and Command Code receive display labels. API tests validate formatted labels.

Terminal dialog handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Claude rewind and Hermes terminal parsing
server/dialogs/claude.ts, server/dialogs/claude.test.ts, server/dialogs/hermes.ts, server/fixtures/claude-rewind-2.1.305-*
Claude rewind parsing accepts both confirmation prompt forms. Hermes chrome detection handles an input line without a preceding rule.

Composer notice layout

Responsive notice layout and validation
src/components/ComposerNotices.css, scripts/skill-menu-cases/claude-terminal.ts, DESIGN.md, changelog.d/composer-notice-phone-fit.md
Notice actions wrap and align to the trailing edge. Dismiss controls remain top-right with reserved space and touch-sized targets. Browser coverage checks narrow-column behavior and draft preservation.

pane cannot reopen its event stream.

processStartedAt reads /proc or ps, so on Windows it returns null and paneProcessRoots reports held: false before the test reaches its OpenCode assertions. The test now stubs the omo process's start and writes the same value into its holder record, so it runs the same on every platform.
…s-roots lookup

openCodePaneService registered its verification only after paneProcessRoots returned, so releaseOpenCodePane during that lookup had nothing to cancel and the resumed lookup could verify the closed pane and keep its event stream open. The verification is now registered before the first await and checked once the roots arrive.
…ssion

A pane whose OpenCode session's transcript could not be read had no stored version and fell back to the service file's, so an OpenCode 1 session could be offered @ skills when an OpenCode 2 service file existed. The installed version now applies only to a pane with no agent_session.
…s unknown or herdr lags a restart

- A send whose agent process could not be identified (native Windows lists only the shell; an
  executable named otherwise than its kind) adopts the session that appears in the same terminal:
  no process bound is no evidence of a replacement (todo 42).
- A send bound to a later process than an earlier send under the same session id waits for its
  own session, so it stays once herdr corrects a restarted agent's stale id (F2 r3 MEDIUM-1).
- Off Linux, a gone pid hides a send at once and a live one keeps it (Ctrl+Z); Windows, which
  reuses pids at once, keeps the two-miss rule.
- The binding's macOS start-time read is asynchronous, a poll waits 250 ms for a binding, and the
  session-change identity is resolved in a loop instead of inside a filter.
- Tests for the late-answer guard and the two-miss rule (F2 r3 MEDIUM-2).
…ome tests off the host

- paneProcessRoots reads an npm Codex's roots from its native child listed after its launcher.
- The Hermes repeat test stubs the binding's process read.
- The scroll-read test awaits the read itself instead of yielding a turn.
A Chat page that attaches its terminal makes Hermes redraw its input area. On a loaded host the
send-time read can catch the input line alone, with no status bar or rules, so hermesChromeStart
found no chrome, the snapshot's tail kept the input line, and no later screen anchored it: the
first /status in a fresh pane went unowned (F3 r2 D1). Take that bottom for chrome too. Recorded
from real Hermes 0.21.5 under load (status-first-redraw-120).
…n its screen

An unowned same-command send reserved nothing, and every later repeat inherited that null for ten
minutes. Reserve the first echo for a later send when its own screen already shows, each complete,
as many blocks as the latest send with a known count is owed, placed below that send's screen by
herdr's history rows. With fewer blocks, or a row missing, the later send stays unreserved.
herdr's detection read is the live screen even while a device has the terminal scrolled up, so its
first row is max_offset_from_bottom, not max_offset_from_bottom - offset_from_bottom. The send-time
row and the poll's row used the viewport's, which shifted the anchor by the scroll offset.

…y the same agent's session

- A send that waits for its own session because herdr still reports the session of the process
  before it adopts the next session only within 60 s of the send (STALE_SESSION_LAG_MS; herdr's
  lag was seen at 20-45 s), while its bound process is unchanged, and only while no later Chat
  /clear, /new or /resume exists in the pane. A resumed session (claude -c, codex resume) no
  longer carries its rows into a later conversation, and the wait stops its process reads.
- A send no agent process was bound to adopts a session only when that session is the same
  agent's: another agent started in the terminal does not take its row (omo review r2 B1, S1).
…rolled device

- A later /status stays unclaimed while an earlier send whose screen was lost is still owed its
  block (fails with complete >= owed relaxed to >= 1).
- A send's history row is max_offset_from_bottom while another device has the terminal scrolled
  up at send time (fails with the composer back on the viewport row). (omo review r2 S2, S4)

## User-facing change

Claude Code messages now offer **Rewind in terminal**, just like grok
and
Antigravity. The action sends nothing, preserves the composer's draft
and opens
the same pane's terminal with the existing hint to run the agent's own
`/rewind`.
The user chooses and confirms the rewind in the terminal.

The maintainer's preview returned two HTTP 409 responses after about 3.4
seconds
on Claude Code 2.1.306, while the fixtures covered through 2.1.305.
Dialog wording
changes kept breaking the screen-reading walk. This applies the
maintainer's
rule: when a feature cannot work reliably from Chat, hand it to the real
terminal
rather than forcing it into Chat.

## Removed

- **Rewind to here**, the Chat rewind/refill state and API client.
- `POST /api/pane/rewind`, its shared request/response types, demo
response and
machine proxy allowlist entry. Local and machine-prefixed requests now
return
  404.
- The screen-reading walk, rewind prompt cards and responders, persisted
  artificial transcript overlay, obsolete fixtures and tests, and unused
  translations in every locale.
- Unreleased release-note claims about automatic Chat rewind. `git tag
--contains`
  returned no tags for the merge commits of #1500 (`c43dffdd`) and #1543
(`31bf25fe`); both are after v0.4.12. The rewritten fragment describes
only the
  terminal handoff and the retained send protection.

## Kept and why

- Native transcript branch handling: Chat still follows a conversation
rewound
in the terminal once the agent records its new branch. Claude Code
records
that branch on the next prompt or command; the bridge no longer invents
an
  immediate restore based on dialog wording.
- Rewind-dialog send guards in the composer, raw input and pending-input
paths:
these still prevent Chat text from landing in a terminal-opened rewind
dialog's
text field. Only the screen parsing and fixtures needed by those guards
remain.
  Rewind screens no longer produce Chat cards.
- Cancelled-send draft recovery and message ownership: other input paths
share
  them. Their existing browser regression remains green.
- The Claude Code command catalog now marks `/rewind` as terminal-only
rather
  than advertising the deleted Chat dialog responder.

## Scope of related issues

Refs #1189, #1483 and #1507.

- #1189: keeps native branch following, but intentionally replaces
point-and-
  restore Chat control with a terminal handoff.
- #1483 is moot under this decision: additional automated rewind
adapters are
  no longer planned by this implementation.
- #1507 is moot because there is no remembered screen walk or Chat
rewind card
  left to survive a terminal cancellation.

This PR does not close those issues.

## Validation

- `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test --timeout 60000
src/lib/rewindAction.test.ts server/conversation.test.ts
server/dialogs/claude.test.ts server/dialogs/registry.test.ts
server/core/claude-rewind-send.test.ts server/skills/claude.test.ts
server/machines.test.ts`: exit **0**.
- `bun run check fast`: exit **0**; workflow syntax, generated
types/themes,
typecheck, production build, and **5,753 passing / 0 failing / 8
skipped**
  unit tests in 411 files. Source fingerprint unchanged through the run.
- `REWIND_QA_EVIDENCE=/tmp/rewind-terminal-only-evidence bun
scripts/rewind-browser-qa.ts`:
exit **0**; **12 combinations** (Claude Code/grok/Antigravity, 1440/390
px,
dark/light), verifying no terminal input or HTTP mutation, the same
pane's
terminal and hint, preserved draft after returning to Chat, and no page
errors.
All **24 Chat/terminal captures** were inspected. Controls, contrast,
mobile
layout, and light/dark coverage pass; the existing terminal hint is
readable
  and dismissible.
- `bun scripts/restored-draft-demo-regression.ts`: exit **0**, all five
existing
  shared draft-recovery scenarios pass.
- `TMPDIR="$(mktemp -d /tmp/rewind-contracts.XXXXXX)" bun run check run
bun test --timeout 15000 server/api.contract.test.ts
server/route-envelope.contract.test.ts
server/pending-input.contract.test.ts`:
  exit **0**, **230 passing / 0 failing** contracts, including local and
machine-prefixed rewind-route 404s and the retained rewind-field send
guard.
- `git diff --cached --check`: exit **0**.

Browser QA uses owned demo fixtures and disposable loopback servers, not
a live
user session. Contract checks use `bun run check run` and its disposable
herdr
session, config, state directory and ephemeral server ports.

An initial direct unit invocation timed out in an unrelated Devin cache
test;
the documented unit mode and the final fast run both pass. A contract
run using
the shared `/tmp` returned 229 passes and one unrelated workspace
file-discovery
failure. The exact file-discovery failure also reproduces on unmodified
`ee2daec0` (exit **1**). The bounded file inventory in `server/files.ts`
does not
find that test's file in this crowded shared temporary directory. No
test or
product code was changed to hide it; the final contract run uses a
dedicated
`TMPDIR`.

Independent `codex exec -m gpt-6-astra` review: exit **0**, **APPROVE**,
no
blocking findings. The native child reviewer could not launch because
this
session is already at the harness's subagent nesting limit. The Codex
reviewer
inspected six captures available at its run; the remaining 18 were
subsequently
checked directly. No extra CodeRabbit review was requested.

Resolve the server/process-start.ts conflict with devswha#1543 by keeping both
bounds. Main's processAlive, processStartUpperBoundAsync and the full
processStartUpperBound (clock read last, plus one tick) stay as they were:
prompt.ts awaits the upper bound to tell whether a process started after a
send. The PR's linuxBirth, linuxReadStart and processStartLowerBound sit
beside them for the Codex short-thread match.

Put main's upper-bound test back in process-start.test.ts next to the
PR's lower-bound tests, and extend it to the async form, so a resolution
that routes the send check to the lower bound fails it.

## 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.

the shared snapshot.

## What changes for the user

- **#1487: pi sessions over 16 MiB.** A command sent from Chat to a pi
session larger than the 16 MiB window now shows its result. Before, it
stayed "Accepted" until "No result seen" whenever pi kept writing. The
first entry in a cut window was counted as a branch point, so almost
every append changed the transcript's identity, and each send bound to
the old identity was skipped from then on. On an append, the branch read
before is now kept while the new path runs on from its last entry with
no fork after it. That last entry may sit on the path or just before the
window's first entry. Any other append, such as a `/tree` switch or a
fork made since, names the branch afresh, as before.
- **#1487: cheaper changed polls.** A changed poll still checks every
byte the cached and new reads share; `validates the full overlapping
tail within budget when the window slides` pins that check against
in-place rewrites. Three things changed:
  - The check no longer sha256-hashes both sides.
- The window starts on a 64 KiB boundary, and the cache keeps an xxHash3
digest of each chunk instead of up to four raw 16 MiB windows.
- The read buffer is no longer zeroed first; a short read still gives
up.

With four 33 MiB pi transcripts cached, the memory held went from about
190 MiB to 65-95 MiB. On 33 MiB with 16 KiB appends, a changed poll's
median went from 34-49 ms on origin/main to 10-20 ms (busy host, 3 runs
each). Reading only the appended bytes would drop that pinned
full-overlap check, so it is left for #1879, with the rest of #1487's
low items.
- **#1544: herdr calls per poll.** While a command waits for its result,
each `GET /api/pane/prompt` poll of a Claude pane asked herdr for
`pane.process_info` up to four times and for `session.snapshot` twice.
The poll now reads the processes once and hands that answer and its
snapshot to the transcript lookup (Claude, pi, devin, unlabelled panes,
and the OmO check). A read that fails is no answer, so the lookup then
asks herdr itself as before; a `claude attach` client still leads to its
job's session. The Codex, omp, gjc and OmO store lookups still read on
their own, noted in #1879.
- **#1549**:
- Tests at 59 s (row kept) and 61 s (row hidden) after a session change
typed in the terminal now pin `STALE_SESSION_LAG_MS`. The old test
jumped to 11 minutes, so a 5-minute bound also passed. A mutation to 300
s or 30 s fails one of them.
- A send whose agent process could not be matched (native Windows lists
only the shell) now also adopts a session herdr reports under the label
herdr gave the pane at the send. An OmO send therefore keeps its row
when OmO's session appears under herdr's `pi` label.
- `docs/agent-commands.md` now states which session a row belongs to,
plus four limits: the minute is counted when Chat next asks, a
terminal-typed change in a resumed session within it, pid reuse outside
Linux, and repeat ownership trusting herdr's history rows (the F4
items).

## How it was verified

- Each new test fails before its fix and passes after:
  - the method-count test (4 `pane.process_info` calls before);
- the 61 s test, under a 5-minute bound (and the 59 s test under a 30 s
one);
  - the OmO adoption test, without the label;
- the sliding-window, branch-switch, later-fork, leaf-cut and fork-slide
pi tests, and the failed-read `claude attach` test, each against the
commit before its fix.

With the chunk-digest check forced to always match, five rewrite tests
fail, including the pinned one.
- **Real surface:** `server/outcome.contract.test.ts` starts the server,
uses the isolated `ovis-test` herdr and runs a stand-in `claude` in a
real pty. It sends `/context` from Chat over the WebSocket and reads
`GET /api/pane/prompt`. A copy of it counts herdr RPCs during the first
poll after the send: origin/main made 3 `pane.process_info`, 2
`session.snapshot` and 1 `agent.get` calls; this branch makes 1, 1 and
1. The outcome is `result-observed` in both.
- `server/outcome*`, `prompt*`, `conversation*` and `pi*`: 752 pass. The
one exception is `conversation.test.ts` "Devin pane identity > falls
back when the explicit store is inaccessible or malformed", which timed
out at 5.9 s on this busy host. It runs 4.1 s alone on origin/main and
does not touch this change. `bun run check fast` passes.
- **Reviews:** omo-native-code-reviewer and Codex (gpt-6.1-sol, xhigh)
reviewed this.
- Codex's two reproduced MEDIUMs, a branch switch at the cut and a
failed process read, are fixed in "keep a pi branch while the window
slides, and ask again after a failed process read".
- Its re-review found two more MEDIUMs, a fork after the cached leaf and
an append cutting the leaf out. Both are fixed in "carry a pi branch
only past no new fork, and keep chunk digests instead of the window" and
covered by tests.
- A branch that switches away and comes back still loses its send. Codex
reproduced that on the parent commit too, so it is not new here; it is
noted in #1879.
- omo's LOW stays: an OmO pane labelled `claude` while its Claude child
runs could adopt the child's session, which hides the row and never
shows a wrong result.

- **After the rebase onto main** (#1897's `claude attach` options and
#1899's pi agent directory meet this change in
`server/conversation.ts`): Codex reviewed the rebase delta and found
nothing. Its 19 scratch tests confirm that an attach client found
through the shared process read still leads to its job's session and
that pi's store and agent directory resolve the same with and without
the shared read. The live contract QA above was rerun and still counts 1
`pane.process_info`, 1 `session.snapshot` and 1 `agent.get`,
`result-observed`. `bun run check fast` passes on the rebased head.

No HTTP or WebSocket contract, auth or workflow changes.
