Change

Closes #2465 (proposal A, the smaller one).

Claude Code's AskUserQuestion card and its "Ready to submit your answers?" review now list the questions as steps, with Back, the way omo's and pi's forms already do (steps, can_navigate, can_step_back, step_index).

• Where the steps come from. Claude's own tab bar (← ☒ Device ☐ Symptoms ✔ Submit →), which claudeTabs already read. Claude draws the tab shown on a background (measured on Claude Code 2.1.312: 48;2;177;185;249); claudeTabSteps takes the shown tab from that background and nothing else. Without that evidence (NO_COLOR, two tabs lit, no background, a bar the pane cut off) the card has no steps and answers as before.
• How a step moves. The answer route sends ← or → once, reads the pane again, and sends the next arrow only when the bar shows the tab expected. It reuses pi's navigator (navigatePiAsk, now given the form's tab reader). Anything else (another tab, a changed bar, the prompt gone) stops with 409 prompt_changed and leaves the rest to the terminal. Digit keys are never sent for a step. A Claude frame caught mid-redraw, whose colors cannot be checked, counts as no evidence and is read again; pi's reads behave as before.
• Answers stay. Claude keeps the answers already given when its tabs move, and the review lists them.
• Card id. It is the same whether or not a poll could read the colors, so a poll that loses them does not turn the card into a new one.
• Client. Steps and Back wait while edits or a typed answer waiting for Confirm are unsent, as pi's tabs do. No new strings.
• Title. Back on an answered question now titles the card with that question (Device · 1 of 2), not with the first question still open.

The design follows Claude Code's own terminal (its tab bar and ←/→) and the card's existing omo/pi step list. Screenshots (desktop 1280 and phone 390, Codex dark and light, from a live Claude Code 2.1.312 pane in the isolated ovis-test herdr session) are with the maintainer.

Review notes (Codex review of this diff)

• Fixed: the shown tab had been taken from "the one tab in the default color" when no tab had a background; it is now the background only (test added).
• Fixed: a typed answer waiting for Confirm would have been dropped by a step; steps and Back now wait for it.
• Fixed: the "look again" wait for colorless reads applied to pi too; it is now limited to Claude.
• Not changed: two questions with identical text and options share a card id. That was already true before this PR, because the id took its title from the first unanswered tab. A colored read taken just before a switch between two such identical tabs could start a move from the wrong tab. The navigator re-reads before every arrow and stops at the first unexpected tab, so the worst case is one arrow followed by a 409.

Validation

• bun run check fast: pass (workflow syntax, generated types/themes, typecheck, build, unit tests).
• Failing-first tests:
  • server/dialogs/claude.test.ts "Claude Code's question tabs as the card's steps": steps, current tab, Back, the review, no steps without background evidence, and an id that is the same with or without colors. Fixtures server/fixtures/claude-tabs-2.1.312-*-120.ansi are real pane reads.
  • server/prompt.test.ts "goes back between Claude's question tabs…": Back and step_index: 0 send exactly ["left"] and ["left","left"]; a pane that skips a tab gets one key and then a 409; invalid steps get 400; a colorless frame mid-move is read again.
  • src/lib/promptAnswer.test.ts: unsent edits block Claude's steps.
• One existing test was updated: "keeps waiting for Claude's next question through a failed read" now expects one more pane read (the colored read of the next question's tab bar).
• Live QA: the real server (port 0, fresh state dir), a real Claude Code 2.1.312 pane in the ovis-test session, and Chrome. Step Submit from Device, Back from the review, and step 1 from Symptoms each returned 200, and the pane's own highlighted tab was checked after each.
• Skipped: bun run check integration browser / full.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Claude Code question cards now show step-based navigation across questions and the review screen, with Back available to revisit earlier steps.
  • Navigation follows the active tab and preserves submitted answers.
• Bug Fixes
  • Navigation controls are unavailable while a typed answer is awaiting confirmation, helping prevent accidental loss of edits.
  • Tab navigation is omitted when the active tab cannot be reliably identified, and stale or ambiguous navigation is rejected.

Claude question and review cards now expose steps based on colored terminal tabs. Navigation reads the terminal again to verify the expected tab. Back and step controls are disabled while a typed answer awaits confirmation.

Explanation

Issue #2465 proposal A requires Claude question and review cards to expose tab-derived steps with Back, move by Claude's left/right tabs, verify the expected tab after each move, and retain answers. server/dialogs/claude.ts derives steps only from a single highlighted tab and adds them to question and review prompts. server/prompt.ts routes Claude navigation through navigatePiAsk, which rereads before each key and returns prompt_changed on unexpected state. The existing Claude parsing and review path retains answers, and the added fixtures and tests cover steps, Back, review answers, stable IDs, stale navigation, invalid steps, and colorless reads. The reported fast check passed.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #2465. The navigator generalization supports the required Claude tab movement while preserving Pi behavior. The shared tab metadata, color verification, client blocking for unsent answers, fixtures, unit tests, and changelog directly support safe step navigation and the requested card behavior. No unrelated feature or administrative change is shown.

Strict review by the merge pass at 9829c32 (omo code reviewer on Claude plus a Codex Terra pass, both with repros on the real 2.1.312 fixtures). No HIGH: only ←/→ are sent and only into a Claude question form; a shell, another agent or pi stops it and pi is unchanged; without colour evidence or with two tabs lit the card has no steps; the redraw wait is bounded by the 4 s deadline; submit is never triggered by Back; bad step values get 400; watch devices still cannot answer. Tests: dialogs + promptAnswer 394, prompt.test 403, conventions 58, typecheck clean.

Please fix before merge (small round):

1. MEDIUM, reproduced: server/dialogs/claude.ts:202 leaves the tab shown out of the card id, so two tabs with the same question and options get the same id (bcfe3785a14c on the real fixtures) and a stale answer can send Enter to the other question. Include the active tab (or step index) in the id. Main had the same rule, but steps make it reachable.
2. LOW, reproduced at the parse level: server/dialogs/pi-ask-navigate.ts:42 accepts a frame with the new tab lit but the old question still drawn as a finished move; a multi-step move can then send the next arrow early and 409 partway. Wait until the question body matches the new tab too.

LOW, for the merge note: the read before each arrow needs colours but the wait after it does not (pi-ask-navigate.ts:22 vs :35), so one missed colour read can 409 partway; the colour read adds a pane.read to every Claude poll (server/prompt.ts:886); PromptCard.tsx:155 now disables Back for every agent while a typed answer waits for Confirm, untested. The read-to-send gap before pane.send_keys is shared with every prompt answer and is not new here.

[devswha]

Merge-review round, pushed as 355118c (one push). Reviews this round ran on Terra 6.1 only.

Fixed

1. MEDIUM, card id ignores the active tab (claude.ts). The id now reads the shown tab's title (its label and its place, e.g. Device · 2 of 2). Two tabs with the same label, question and options are two cards, so a stale answer for one is refused on the other. Failing-first test: claude.test.ts "tells two tabs apart that ask the same question with the same options".
2. LOW, half-redrawn frame accepted (pi-ask-navigate.ts). A frame with the new tab lit over the question it left is no finished move until its question changes. If it stays the same for 150 ms, it counts as that tab's own question, since two tabs may ask the same. Failing-first route test: the question drawn when each → went out is ["device", "symptoms"]; before the fix it was ["device", "device"].
   • Also, after the first arrow, the read before the next one checks the form's tabs (labels, answered marks, tab shown), not a question still being redrawn under them. A half-drawn frame can therefore no longer make a move 409 partway. Before the first arrow, the card asked from must still be the one shown, as before.
3. LOW, the read before each arrow needed colours (pi-ask-navigate.ts:22). For Claude it now waits through a frame whose colours could not be checked, as the read after a move already did.
4. LOW, Back disabled while a typed answer waits, untested (PromptCard.tsx:155). There is now a render test, PromptCard.test.ts. It fails when the rule is removed.

Kept, for the merge note

• The colour read adds one pane.read to a Claude poll, only while a whole tab bar is on screen.
• Back on an answered tab: a read whose colours could not be checked (a frame mid-redraw) now gives a different id from the coloured read, because the id names the tab. That is the price of finding 1. It only happens while the pane redraws, so a web-only edit in that moment would be dropped (Terra P1).
• pi still uses the shared navigator unchanged, apart from the question wait. With identical questions on every tab, 150 ms per tab still fits about 26 tabs in the 4 s answer deadline (Terra P2 asked about 32-tab forms).

Validation: bun run check fast passes (typecheck, build, unit tests). server/dialogs/ + server/prompt.test.ts: 766 pass. PromptCard + promptAnswer tests pass. Live QA was re-run on a real Claude Code 2.1.312 pane in the ovis-test session, with the real server and Chrome: the two-arrow step Device→Submit, Back from the review, and step 1 from Symptoms each returned 200, and the pane's own highlighted tab was checked after each.

[jpcarranza94]

Thank you for picking this up so fast. I reviewed the diff and ran it live. The steps work. I found two problems: one in the wait after an answer, and one in a step that follows a step.

Live check

Headless Chromium at 1280×800 against the PR head (355118c3), with a real Claude Code 2.1.316 (haiku) pane at 120 columns in an isolated bun run check run session:

• 2.1.316 still draws the shown tab on a background: the Device and Symptoms cards show their steps, and the review shows Back.
• Back from Symptoms to Device: 200 after 301 ms. Claude keeps the answer given, and the card shows it (Desktop browser ✔).
• A step from Device to Submit (two →): 200 after 339 ms, and the review lists the answer.
• "Submit answers": no card 310 ms later, with no flash.

1. With steps, an answer to a Claude question loses the #2466 wait for a half-drawn screen

server/prompt.ts picks the wait with if (target.steps) first. With colors, a Claude question card now has steps, so its answer takes sameContent(contentId(target)) and never gets to claudeStepStill. sameContent takes the fallback card of a half-drawn frame as the next step, so the "Waiting for input" card from #2464 comes back after the last question. Only colorless screens still get claudeStepStill. The #2466 test uses colorless screens, so it still passes.

This test uses the PR's own fixtures. At 355118c3 it fails with Expected: "Review your answers", Received: "Waiting for input":

test("with colors (steps), an answer to Claude's last question waits through a half-drawn review", async () => {
  const panel = (state: string) => readFileSync(new URL(`./fixtures/claude-tabs-2.1.312-${state}-120.ansi`, import.meta.url), "utf8");
  const draw = (pane: Pane, screen: string) => { pane.viewport = screen; pane.screen = screen.replace(ANSI_RE, ""); };
  const review = panel("review");
  const heading = review.split("\n").slice(0, 4).join("\n") + "\n";
  await withPane("claude", "blocked", "", async (pane) => {
    draw(pane, panel("second"));
    const second = (await card())!;
    expect(second.steps?.length).toBe(3);
    pane.onSent = (sent) => {
      if (sent !== "enter") return;
      setTimeout(() => draw(pane, heading), 100);
      setTimeout(() => draw(pane, review), 300);
    };
    expect(await answer(second.id, { option_index: 0 })).toEqual({ status: 200, code: undefined });
    expect((await card())!.title).toBe("Review your answers");
  });
});

This order passes it, and server/prompt.test.ts and server/dialogs/claude.test.ts pass with it (442 tests):

// Claude draws its next tab, or its review, a moment after the key: the same wait, by what the
// step asks, whether or not its tabs are steps (#2465)
if (responder === "claude-question" || responder === "claude-submit") form.still = claudeStepStill(parsedByPublicPrompt.get(target)!);
else if (target.steps) form.still = sameContent(contentId(target));
else if (responder === "claude-model" || responder === "claude-effort" || responder === "codex-model") form.still = sameContent(lastSeen ?? contentId(target));

2. A poll during a step gives the card an id that the end of the step retires

In the live run, a normal poll read the Device tab while the Back step was still running (read 8, id ead97e33a03f). Then the route returned and called askingEnded, so the next read gave the same tab a new id (86b781c187f7). The card kept the old id, and the next step (Device to Symptoms) got 409 prompt_changed after 79 ms. The card showed "The question on screen changed; check it and answer again.", and then the same card came back with no move. For the user, the tap on the step does nothing.

15325ms answer>  {"prompt_id":"2811604afd4d","step_back":true,...}
15486ms card     card#3 "Device · 1 of 2" steps=[Symptoms, Submit]
15488ms prompt   read 8: {"id":"ead97e33a03f","title":"Device · 1 of 2",...}
15814ms answer<  200 after 301 ms
17204ms answer>  {"prompt_id":"ead97e33a03f","step_index":1,...}
17287ms answer<  409 after 79 ms {"error":{"code":"prompt_changed",...}}
17292ms prompt   read 9: {"id":"86b781c187f7","title":"Device · 1 of 2",...}

It happens only when a poll comes during a step, so not every time. A Claude step takes longer than a pi step, because it also waits for the question under the tab (SAME_QUESTION_SETTLE_MS), so the window is wider. I did not try a fix. A step changes what the card shows, because its title names the tab, so a step may not need askingEnded. But pi's steps use the same path, and I did not check them.

Small note, not for this PR

After Back, Claude marks the answer given with ✔ in the option's own text, so the card shows the label Desktop browser ✔. The same happens when the user goes back in the terminal.

[devswha]

@jpcarranza94 thank you, this was a really useful review: a live run on 2.1.316, a failing test for the first bug, and a log that pinned down the second. Both are fixed in 6dac69b, with you credited as co-author.

1. The #2466 wait for a half-drawn screen, with steps. I applied your test and your fix order as written. Claude's responders now pick claudeStepStill before the target.steps branch. Your test failed before the change (Received: "Waiting for input") and passes after it.

2. A poll during a step. Your log was right: askingEnded at the end of a step retired the id a poll had just given the card. Dropping askingEnded alone brought two other problems to light, so a move now works like this:

• It is an asking of its own, begun before its first key and ended on the tab it reached. navigatePiAsk now returns that frame. A card a poll reads during the move still answers afterwards.
• A card read before the move is refused, including after a move away and back to the same tab.
• It counts an answer turn when it ends as well as when it starts. A poll that began during the move and comes back after it changes nothing.
• pi's steps share this path, so they get the same fix.

Each case has a deterministic test in server/prompt.test.ts, with no timers. The test herdr has two gates: holdSend answers the step's key only once a full poll has run, and holdRead keeps a poll's screen read open across the end of the step.

Validation: bun run check fast passes. server/dialogs/ + server/prompt.test.ts: 767 pass; PromptCard + promptAnswer: 46 pass. Live QA on a real Claude Code 2.1.312 pane, with the real server and Chrome: a two-arrow step, then Back followed at once by a step in the same page (your 409 case), then Back and a step on a phone. All 6 answers returned 200, each checked against the pane's highlighted tab.

The Desktop browser ✔ label: agreed. It is Claude's own mark in the option text, as you said, so it stays out of this PR.

One known edge, in the safe direction: a move that fails before any key is sent (a herdr RPC error) still starts its new asking. A retry from that card then returns 409 and the card reads the screen again.

[devswha]

@jpcarranza94 thank you, that live run found two real bugs. Both are fixed in 6dac69b: your test and fix order are in (with co-author credit), and a step is now its own asking, so a poll during a step no longer retires the card. The merge pass re-checked both: your test fails on 355118c and passes now, and the step tap after a poll answers 200 (409 before).

[devswha]

Merging 6dac69b (closes #2465, proposal A; the owner picked it for 0.4.22 and OK'd the screenshots): Claude Code's question card and its review list the questions as steps with Back, read from Claude's own tab bar; each arrow is checked against the highlighted tab before the next, otherwise 409 and the terminal. Strict review by the merge pass (omo code reviewer on Claude plus Codex Terra, real 2.1.312 fixtures): only ←/→ are sent and only into Claude's form; without colour evidence the card has no steps; Back never submits; watch devices cannot answer. Its MEDIUM (identical tabs shared a card id, so a stale answer could press Enter on the other question) and the half-redrawn-frame LOW were fixed in {H[:8]} with fail-first tests; delta re-checked clean (780 tests). @jpcarranza94 then live-tested it on Claude Code 2.1.316 and found two bugs (the half-drawn 'Waiting for input' card coming back after the last question, and a step tap after a poll answering 409); both are fixed in 6dac69b with his test and fix order (co-authored) and a move counted as its own asking; delta re-checked clean (2301 tests over 3 runs). LOW noted: a move can end on a half-drawn frame, so a card polled during it gets 409 (fails safe); a retry after a lost key reply gets 409 with no second key; with identical tabs, a colourless read while tab 1 is shown still yields tab 0's id (needs a failed colour read); after the first arrow only form and tab are re-checked and the 150 ms settle can accept the old question; the colour read adds a pane.read to each Claude poll; the read-to-send gap before pane.send_keys is shared with every prompt answer.
