fix(machines): cap buffered remote control responses - #1588
Merged
Merged
Conversation
A timeout bounded how long another PC's bridge could take to answer, not how much of that answer the server held. Bridge identity and error answers, session snapshots, the release bundle manifest and every buffered PC proxy answer are now read through server/remote-json.ts, which counts the decoded bytes as they arrive, cancels the stream at the first byte past a fixed ceiling, and only then decodes or parses. Ceilings: bridge identity 64 KiB, bridge error 8 KiB, bundle manifest 1 MiB, session snapshot 64 MiB, buffered proxy answers 64 MiB, and a watching device's pane/prompt 1 MiB (it is parsed to remove hidden fields). A Content-Length past the ceiling is refused before reading; an absent, smaller or compressed length is measured from the stream. Failures use fixed messages that repeat no URL, token or answer text. The proxy answers 502 remote_response_too_large, or 502 remote_response_invalid when a watched prompt cannot be parsed for redaction, so an unredacted prompt is never passed on. Known bridge error codes are still read from the bounded error body, unread failure bodies are cancelled, and generation and stale-refresh ordering are unchanged. fs/file still streams with its ranges, 304 stays bodyless with its ETag, and local manifests and bundle downloads are untouched. Checked with bun run check fast; bun test on remote-json, machines, machines-refresh, machine-update and remote-bundle (the new cases fail on the previous code); and the api.contract test on the isolated herdr, where only an existing workspace file-search case fails, as it does on main.
The fixed sentences server/remote-json.ts uses for an oversized or unreadable answer from another PC reach a PC's error and its setup job's error, which the sidebar and the PC dialog showed in English. machineErrorText translates them at those surfaces, with ko/ja/zh entries, and passes any other words through.
…nguage The proxy's 502 remote_response_too_large and remote_response_invalid carried their own English sentences, which every error surface showed as detail beneath its translated sentence. The proxy now answers with the remote-json error's fixed message, and the browser maps both codes to the translated sentences where it builds an ApiError, so userErrorMessage, userFailure and the dialogs that show ApiError.detail all read them in the UI language. DESIGN.md records the rule.

… boot Since #1588 every buffered answer from another PC's bridge is read through the byte-capped reader, but this branch's source check read the bridge's /api/health whole with response.json(). It now reads it through readCappedJson with its own 64 KiB ceiling (a health answer is well under 2 KiB), and drops a body it will not read. An answer past the ceiling proves nothing, as any other failed check does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## 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.

([#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).

([#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.

([#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.

([#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.

A 429 is no longer remembered as "no icon" either: the folder is asked again when its row next appears.

Change
Another PC's bridge was trusted to end its answers at a sensible size: a timeout bounded how long an answer could take, not how much of it the server held in memory. Every buffered answer from a bridge (and the release's bundle manifest) is now read through a small byte-capped reader (
server/remote-json.ts). It counts the decoded bytes as they arrive, cancels the stream at the first byte past the route's ceiling, and decodes or parses only after that check.GET /api/bridge)MachineManager.verifyMachineManager.verifyGET /api/session)MachineManager.refreshbundleFilehandleMachineRequestpane/prompt(parsed to remove hidden fields)handleMachineRequestContent-Lengthpast the ceiling is refused before reading. An absent, smaller or compressed length is measured from the stream instead.502 remote_response_too_large. When a watched prompt cannot be parsed for redaction it answers502 remote_response_invalid, so a watcher never receives an unredacted prompt.fs/filestill streams with its ranges, a 304 stays bodyless with its ETag, and local manifests and bundle downloads work as before.server/remote-json.ts, and now also the proxy's 502 message) are shown in the UI language wherever they appear, with ko/ja/zh entries:machineErrorTextinsrc/lib/userError.ts, which passes any other words through;errorFrominsrc/lib/api.tsmapsremote_response_too_large/remote_response_invalidto the translated sentence. That is the detailuserErrorMessage,userFailureand the dialogs readingApiError.detailshow under their own generic sentence (for example New workspace on that PC).Design
None of the reference coding-agent apps (the Codex and Claude apps, Paseo, T3 Code) relays a second PC's bridge, so there is no app precedent for this case. It follows this app's own rule in DESIGN.md ("Messages say only what the person needs now": a known cause is the sentence). The new DESIGN.md entry under that rule records it: one of two fixed sentences in the user's language, placed where each surface already puts the server's words, never with any of the answer, its address or its size. Nothing new is drawn.
Validation
Locally:
bun run typecheckexit 0, and the conventions tests 40 pass, 0 fail. The full fast check runs in this PR's CI.bun test ./server/remote-json.test.ts ./server/machines.test.ts ./server/machines-refresh.test.ts ./server/machine-update.test.ts ./server/remote-bundle.test.ts ./src/lib/userError.test.ts ./src/lib/api.test.ts ./src/lib/i18n.test.ts: 159 pass, 0 fail. The new cases fail on the previous code. They cover:userErrorMessage/userFailuredetail in Korean when the UI is Korean, and as the server's sentence in English.Early stops are proven by the peer stream's cancellation receipts, not by timing.
bun run check run bun test --timeout 15000 ./server/api.contract.test.ts: the new safe-502 contract case passes. The only failing case is the existing workspace file-search test (pane/filesreturns no match), which fails the same way on main.Visual QA of the sidebar state line, the PC dialog and the New workspace dialog on the built client with a test-owned fixture: 54 captures. They cover connected, overflow error, loading, offline, observe-only, long text, scrolled to end, PC dialog error, and a New workspace error from the real proxy refusing a 64 MiB + 1 answer. Each is at 390 (iPhone 14, DPR 3, touch) and 1440, in light and dark, plus Korean at 390. The Korean frames show the translated sentences, with no English sentence in the dialog. No frame overflows horizontally. Detail text contrast is 5.97 / 5.82 in the sidebar and 6.75 / 7.15 in the New workspace dialog (light / dark).
This touches an HTTP contract and the data a watching device receives, so it waits for a real review.
