fix(omp): fall back to an absolute --cwd for held omp transcripts by devswha · Pull Request #1594 · devswha/ovis

devswha · 2026-10-22T01:07:00Z

Change

When herdr names no session file for an omp pane, the bridge finds the transcript from the pane's omp process: the file it holds open, or its terminal breadcrumb, whose session header must name the directory the bridge looks in. That directory is herdr's foreground cwd (or the pane's cwd). An omp started with an absolute --cwd <dir> changes into that directory and records it in its header, so when herdr reports another directory (a wrapper's, the shell's, a symlink's real path) or none, the chat stayed unavailable.

Herdr's directory first, unchanged. ompHeldTranscript runs main's lookup in the directory herdr reports. Any answer there wins, and an ambiguous one (two candidates) stays null. A relative --cwd, or a session resumed in another project, is covered here as before, because omp has moved into that directory.
Absolute --cwd as a fallback only. It is tried only when that lookup finds nothing, every omp process in the pane started with the same absolute --cwd, and it differs from herdr's directory. The usual checks still apply: the process holds the file open or its breadcrumb names it, the header directory matches, and exactly one candidate remains.
omp's own helpers count for nothing. omp add|install --cwd <dir> package installs and omp __omp_worker_<name> workers (the speech ones are not detached, so they share omp's foreground process group) are skipped for the store, the pid list and the --cwd agreement, also when their argv is read back from procfs on WSL.
ompLaunch reads omp's own argv as omp 18.8.7 does. A first pass takes --profile/--alias out up to -- (omp refuses to start without a profile name, so nothing is found); a second uses omp's value-option table, so an option's value is consumed even when it looks like an option, the last --cwd wins, nothing after -- counts, and a trailing or empty --cwd means none. ompAgentDir uses the same reader, so a --session-dir or --profile after --, or eaten as another option's value, no longer moves the store.
Empty arguments from procfs are kept (omp-process.ts): when herdr omits the argv (WSL), --cwd '' /B stays an empty value rather than becoming --cwd /B.
A relative --cwd is never resolved against any base. omp changes into resolve(--cwd) at startup, so nothing on the bridge proves where it started; herdr's directory already is the resolved one. On Windows a path without a drive is not absolute either. This matches main's coverage and fails closed.

server/conversation.ts is not touched. Platform limits are as before: the held-file lookup is Linux-only, macOS uses the breadcrumb.

Validation

bun test ./server/omp.test.ts ./server/omp-process.test.ts: 31 pass. Stand-ins change directory the way omp does, and herdr's directory comes from /proc/<pid>/cwd. Cases: a relative --cwd (and no guessed base without herdr's directory); an absolute --cwd that resumes another project, through the open file and the breadcrumb; an absolute --cwd while herdr's directory is not omp's own; an empty or trailing --cwd; omp processes in different directories; two sessions in herdr's directory with one more under the --cwd (stays null); helpers and a worker next to a plain and an absolute --cwd omp, also with the argv read back on WSL; the argv-reader table, ompLaunchDir and isOmpHelper.
Mutations the tests catch: dropping the helper skip after the procfs read, the worker skip, or the rule that an ambiguous answer stays null (checked for this push); dropping the live lookup, the first helper skip, the fallback, the agreement rule or the procfs empty-argument fix (checked in review).
On a merge with current main: bun run typecheck, the conventions.test.ts files, scripts/changelog-fold.test.ts, server/conversation*.test.ts, server/omp.contract.test.ts, server/omp-incremental.test.ts, server/core/omp-submit.test.ts and server/gjc-runtime.test.ts pass.

This PR touches no authentication, HTTP/WS contract, shared/ or workflow.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

When herdr names no session file, the bridge finds an omp pane's transcript from the omp process itself, but it checked the transcript header against the pane's directory. An omp started with --cwd keeps its session under that directory instead, so its chat was unavailable. - server/omp.ts: ompLaunch reads omp's own argv the way omp does (value options consume their operand, last one wins, nothing after `--`), and a missing or empty --cwd/--profile value finds nothing. Each omp process resolves to its store and effective directory (absolute --cwd, else the pane's session directory as before); processes that disagree find nothing. - A relative --cwd is resolved only against the process's proven directory: herdr's foreground cwd when herdr names that omp pid the pane's foreground process and it is the only omp, else a bounded helper (procfs on Linux, lsof on macOS, nothing on Windows) with process-start checks. omp 18.8.7 changes into its --cwd at startup (scripts/omp-relative-cwd-probe.ts), so OMP_RELATIVE_CWD stays off and a relative value finds no transcript. - server/omp-process.ts: memory and directory helpers share the 1000 ms deadline, 1 MiB output bound and four live helpers; directories are never cached. - server/conversation.ts passes herdr's foreground cwd through. Checked with bun test ./server/omp.test.ts ./server/omp-process.test.ts (owned stand-ins holding transcripts open and through the tmux breadcrumb), bun scripts/omp-relative-cwd-probe.ts against native omp 18.8.7 in a temporary HOME, bun run typecheck, the conventions tests and server/conversation.test.ts.

When herdr omits an omp pane's argv (WSL), the helper read the command line from /proc/<pid>/cmdline and dropped every empty word. `omp --cwd '' /B` then read back as `--cwd /B`, and the pane showed B's transcript instead of none. The helper now drops only the empty entry after the final NUL. Checked with bun test ./server/omp-process.test.ts ./server/omp.test.ts (a live process with empty arguments read back unchanged; an owned stand-in with an empty --cwd operand, with herdr's argv and without it, selects no transcript; both failed before the fix), bun run typecheck and the conventions tests.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved OMP chat display when a pane’s current directory differs from the directory used to launch OMP. Chats can now be found in the launch directory when the pane’s live directory has no matching session.
- Improved handling of OMP launch details, including empty arguments, to help ensure the correct session is identified.

OMP process argument parsing now preserves empty arguments and recognizes OMP launch options and helper processes. Held-transcript lookup checks the live directory first, then may check a shared absolute --cwd launch directory. Tests cover launch parsing, process arguments, and transcript selection.

Changes: OMP held transcript routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preserve process arguments `server/omp-process.ts`, `server/omp-process.test.ts`	The `/proc` reader removes only the trailing empty split entry. A Linux-only test checks that empty arguments remain in the probed argument list.
Parse OMP launch options `server/omp.ts`, `server/omp.test.ts`	`ompLaunch` parses profile, session-directory, and `--cwd` options. `ompAgentDir` uses the parsed launch data, and helper-process detection distinguishes OMP helpers from ordinary invocations.
Resolve the held transcript `server/omp.ts`, `server/omp.test.ts`, `changelog.d/omp-held-cwd.md`	Transcript lookup excludes helper processes and checks the live directory before falling back to a shared absolute launch directory. Tests cover resumed sessions, ambiguous candidates, and unavailable or differing directories. The changelog records the lookup order.

omp changes into its --cwd at startup and into a resumed session's project later, and herdr's foreground cwd reports that directory, so main already found the chat for relative --cwd panes and for absolute ones that changed project. Resolving the launch --cwd instead turned those into no_session_path. Look the transcript up in the live directory first, as main does, and try an absolute --cwd only when that finds nothing and every omp in the pane started with the same one. A relative --cwd is not resolved against any base: nothing records where omp started once it has moved, and the result is its live directory already. Drop the process-cwd probe, the relative-cwd switch and its probe script. Skip omp's own package installs (`omp add|install --cwd <dir>`, run in its foreground process group) so they no longer count as a second omp in another directory. Read --cwd and the store options the way omp 18.8.7 does: --profile and --alias come out first, --plan then takes the next word, a trailing --cwd is ignored and an empty one leaves omp where it started.

omp runs workers such as its speech ones as `omp __omp_worker_<name>` in its own foreground process group. They hold no session, but each one counted as an omp without --cwd, which turned off the absolute --cwd fallback for as long as it ran. isOmpHelper now names them too. Tests now also cover the helper skip after the WSL procfs read, an ambiguous answer in herdr's directory that must not fall through to the --cwd lookup, and the changelog says which directory is looked up first.

…esuming (#1638) ## Change `server/portal.test.ts` "does not stop an unrelated process whose argv merely mentions expose and the identity path" called `resume()` right after `Bun.spawn`. Until the shell has exec'd, `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` can still show the parent's argv or read empty mid-exec, so `identifyProcess()` threw `Could not verify the identity of recorded Portal process <pid>`. It failed Fast checks on main twice today (runs 39733017457 after #1590 and 39734683255 after #1594; the runs in between passed). The test dates from #746; it started showing up under today's CI load. The shell now prints `READY` before its loop and the test waits for that line (bounded) before resuming, the same fix #1419 made for the sibling interpreter test. No production code changes. ## Validation - `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test server/portal.test.ts`: 38 pass, 0 fail, three runs in a row.

## 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.
