instead of role="status", preserving its existing conditional rendering and
styling.

excludes the agent fallback state with source "scrollback", even when that state
has no messages; preserve the prompt behavior for other empty conversations.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winReset fallback output when the agent changes.
When the fallback has loaded terminal text and the new agent still uses scrollback fallback,
TerminalFallbackremains keyed only bypaneId. Its localtexttherefore remains visible for the new agent. Includeagentin the key to unmount the old fallback state.The browser check does not catch this case because it changes the agent only after structured conversation has detached the fallback, and its terminal response is still unresolved.

# Conflicts: # scripts/ci-browser.sh # tsconfig.tools.json
Change
When an agent's structured conversation is not yet available, ChatView used to await a terminal read even while its terminal-output disclosure was folded. A stalled read held the serialized conversation reader and delayed initial display and later structured answers.
Agent terminal fallback now reads independently, only while its disclosure is open and the page is visible. Non-agent scrollback stays inline. Conversation/terminal HTTP headers and JSON/error bodies share a 15-second deadline; a timed-out late answer cannot replace the conversation ETag cache. Changing the agent in the same pane reinstalls and immediately refreshes the reader.
This standalone change is separate from #650's Codex session identity work and #783's Send now behavior. It adds ko/ja/zh timeout labels, documentation/changelog and registered/typechecked browser coverage without private APIs or deployment configuration.
Validation
Synthetic closed fallback screenshot.
Review follow-up
Addressed both posted review findings: agent terminal fallback no longer presents an empty-conversation prompt, and terminal-read failures use
role="alert". The actual ChatView browser regression reproduced both before the fixes and now verifies fallback/failure, the ordinary empty structured-conversation prompt, non-agent inline output and stale cleanup.Frozen final commit
a1ff9a3: generated freshness, typecheck, build and full unit pass (2508 pass, 50 skip, zero failures; unit 138.33s). The previously reported full browser lane ran on22f707b; the updated focused actual-component browser regression passed for the two UI fixes, with refreshed synthetic evidence. Changelog now links this PR and credits its author. Validation remains against public baseline2f6bb46; latest observed main5eafefcis separate, and full Native/Windows/updated-main integration is not claimed.
