Change

A custom Bun launcher can run the OMO engine normally while herdr reports it as pi and its argv contains no standard OMO executable. The chat lens then misses the native conversation.

Recognize custom runtimes from their OMO store and native holder records, validating the live PID, process start and cwd. Keep each holder's store/session identity through pending, malformed and ambiguous transcript cases. Reuse the same identity in snapshot discovery, chat routing and shell-start confirmation; verified OMO ownership takes precedence over a child agent's label. Preserve standard and hoisted-engine launch compatibility without matching custom filenames, profiles or model names.

Custom recognition needs readable process metadata and a native holder in an explicit OMO store or the default OMO store. Insufficient evidence fails closed. This does not change launchers, model mappings or authentication.

Validation

  • CI Bun 1.4.2: bun run check fast — generated types, both TypeScript checks, production build, and unit suite pass (2,996 passed, 8 skipped).
  • Isolated native contract: 10 tests, including custom/default stores, pending sessions, negative identity, background logs and Codex/Devin/GJC child labels.
  • Real Chromium: six scenario groups covering store isolation, arbitrary model metadata, legacy launch, no-evidence rejection, /new, live first-message rendering and resume.
  • Independent review reproductions for missing holder headers and changed process cwd (including stale pane paths without process-level cwd) are covered by focused regressions.

A running custom OMO pane was inspected read-only: the original PID remained active, runtime detection succeeded, and the native transcript parser returned its conversation. All reproduction inputs and browser captures use isolated synthetic panes. No deployment or merge was performed.

The related GJC status PR #928 was also checked in an isolated combined worktree: native OMO ownership survives a raw GJC label at initial snapshot and after periodic refresh.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Chat now stays connected to the session held by its own live process, including sessions started through custom launchers.
    • Sessions with the same ID in different panes or storage locations are kept separate, preventing chats from displaying another pane’s conversation.
    • Chat follows the correct session after /new and /resume. When session ownership is unclear, it no longer guesses or displays a potentially unrelated transcript.
📝 Summary

Walkthrough

OmO recognition and transcript binding now verify process identity and scope held sessions to their stores. Pane routing checks all panes regardless of agent label. New tests and browser QA cover custom launchers, conflicting claims, transcript updates, and session restoration.

…appers (#970)

## Problem

`server/herdr/client.ts` exported an untyped `herdrRpc(method: string,
params: Record<string, unknown>)`. Eleven server files called it
directly for four methods (`pane.process_info` x10, `agent.get` x6,
`pane.send_text` x2, `pane.send_keys` x1), each with its own inline
result type. Nothing stopped `{ target }` reaching `pane.process_info`,
which herdr then silently answers for the focused pane (the AGENTS.md
rule was prose only).

## Change

- `server/herdr/methods.ts`: `HerdrMethods`, a `{ [method]: { params;
result } }` map for those four methods. Params and result bodies come
from the generated schema types; `PaneProcessInfoParams`, `AgentTarget`
and `PaneProcessInfo` are now generator roots
(`scripts/generate-protocol-types.ts`, regenerated
`shared/herdr-api.generated.ts`). The map itself is hand-written because
herdr's schema links a method to its params (`request.oneOf`) but not to
its answer: answers are one `ResponseResult.oneOf` told apart only by a
`type` tag (`pane_process_info`, `agent_info`, `ok`).
- `herdrRpc<M extends keyof HerdrMethods>(method, params:
HerdrMethods[M]["params"], …): Promise<HerdrMethods[M]["result"]>` is
the first overload. An untyped fallback overload stays for methods the
map does not list yet. It refuses a typed method name
(`UntypedHerdrMethod<M>` is `never` for one), so
`herdrRpc("pane.process_info", { target })` is a compile error.
`server/herdr/seam.test.ts` pins that with `@ts-expect-error` and checks
the wire params of the new wrappers against a stand-in socket.
- New wrappers: `paneProcessInfo(paneId)` returns one shared
`ProcessInfo` (= generated `PaneProcessInfo`: shell_pid,
foreground_processes with pid/name/argv0/argv) and `agentGet(paneId)`
returns `AgentInfo`. The existing `paneSendText` / `paneSendKeys` now go
through the typed overload. The wrappers call the exported `herdrRpc`
binding, so tests that `spyOn(herdr, "herdrRpc")` keep working.
- Migrated (no open PR touches them): `server/pi.ts`, `server/omp.ts`,
`server/grok-store.ts`, `server/agy-store.ts`, `server/codex.ts` (x3).
Behaviour is unchanged: the same params go on the wire, with the same
default timeout and the same `.catch` / `try` at each call site.
`codex.ts` keeps its old `argv?: string[]` reading through a commented
cast, because the schema allows `argv: null` and that path has never
handled null. Changing that would change behaviour, so it is left for a
separate fix.
- Guard: `server/conventions.test.ts` ("herdr socket") now fails when
server code outside `server/herdr/` uses `herdrRpc`. The message names
the fix ("add a typed wrapper in server/herdr/client.ts; for pane status
use the server/collector.ts listeners") and the allowlist
`HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`. A stale allowlist entry also fails. The
`events.subscribe` / `subscribeEvents` rules from #949 were already
there; their message now also says where `events.subscribe` lives.
- AGENTS.md: the `pane.process_info` line points at `paneProcessInfo` /
`HerdrMethods` and names the enforcing test. Only that one line changes;
#812, #888 and #894 also edit AGENTS.md.

## Allowlist (`HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`, migrated in PR B)

| File | Open PRs touching it |
|------|----------------------|
| `server/conversation.ts` | #869 #912 #923 |
| `server/gjc-runtime.ts` | #912 |
| `server/hermes.ts` | #910 |
| `server/omo.ts` | #923 |
| `server/shell-agent.ts` | #885 #923 |

Built from `gh pr list --state open --limit 100 --json number,files` on
2026-10-14.

## Known limits (closed in PR B)

- The export is still named `herdrRpc`. Renaming it to `herdrRpcUnsafe`
would touch about 33 test files and 30 `scripts/` harnesses, several of
them in open PRs (api.contract, gjc.contract, omo.contract,
ui-regression, pending-input…). Tests and `scripts/` QA harnesses are
outside this guard's scope: they drive herdr (`pane.report_agent`,
`workspace.create`, …) and are not part of the bridge seam.
- A call with an explicit result type,
`herdrRpc<Inline>("pane.process_info", …)`, still reaches the untyped
fallback. That is the form the allowlisted files use, and they may not
change here. In server code the source guard closes this gap. The
fallback goes away once the allowlist is empty.

## Validation

- `bun run check fast`: green. A first run had one failure in
`server/portal.test.ts` ("does not treat an arbitrary interpreter as a
Portal script": the process argv read raced and returned undefined).
This change does not touch that file, it passed alone, and the rerun was
fully green.
- `bun run test:integration`: 455 pass, 0 fail, 14 skip in 38 files
(includes the omp, codex, codex-binding, pi, gjc, omo and hermes
contract tests).
- I checked by hand that the guard fails on a new `herdr.herdrRpc` use
in `server/pi.ts`.

## Follow-up: PR B

Once #869, #885, #910, #912 and #923 land: migrate the five allowlisted
files to `paneProcessInfo` / `agentGet` / `paneSendText` /
`paneSendKeys`, empty `HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`, drop the untyped fallback
overload (or rename it `herdrRpcUnsafe` for tests and scripts), and
consider handling `argv: null` in `codex.ts`.

## Review

Fixed in 290d5f1:

- **Union of typed methods (medium, part of finding 1).** The typed
overload takes `SingleHerdrMethod<M>`, so `herdrRpc(cond ?
"pane.process_info" as const : "agent.get" as const, { target })` no
longer compiles. `seam.test.ts` pins this with a `@ts-expect-error`
line. Checked with tsc: the inferred `herdrRpc("pane.process_info", {
pane_id })` still returns the typed result.
- **Allowlist missed #928 and #859 (medium).** `conventions.test.ts`
adds `HERDR_RPC_PENDING` with `server/gjc-status.ts` (#928) and
`server/index.ts` (#859). Those PRs add a `pane.process_info` call, but
neither file calls herdrRpc on main yet, so the "no longer calls" check
skips them. It would be better for both PRs to switch to
`paneProcessInfo(paneId)`, which is a one-line change in each. After
that, these entries come out.
- **Docs claimed more than the PR delivers (low).** AGENTS.md now says
the guard enforces the rule, not the compiler, and that the allowlisted
and pending files still call herdrRpc. The changelog fragment now says
"no longer compiles without an explicit result type". "PR B" is replaced
with "a follow-up PR that moves these files to the wrappers once their
open PRs land". The fallback docblock in `client.ts` and the
`UntypedHerdrMethod` comment in `methods.ts` list the holes.

Deferred to the follow-up PR that drains `HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`:

- **Explicit result type and widened string (rest of finding 1).**
`herdrRpc<T>("pane.process_info", { target })` and `herdrRpc(m as
string, { target })` still compile. With an explicit T, the fallback's
`M` stays at `string`, and that cannot be closed while the fallback
shares the name. Closing it means splitting the fallback out as
`herdrRpcUntyped` (or `herdrRpcUnsafe`) and moving about 400 test and
script call sites onto it. It also means converting the
`herdrRpc<T>("pane.process_info" | "agent.get", …)` calls in the five
allowlisted files, which conflicts with their open PRs. `seam.test.ts`
keeps both forms as compiling lines with a comment, so the follow-up can
turn them into `@ts-expect-error`.
- **Error message.** Two overloads are still present, so tsc reports a
bad inferred call such as `{ target }` to pane.process_info as `not
assignable to parameter of type 'never'` instead of naming the wrong
param. That message only gets better with the split.
- **Stale pending entries.** Nothing removes a `HERDR_RPC_PENDING` entry
on its own. If #928 or #859 switches to `paneProcessInfo` or closes, its
entry stays until someone takes it out by hand.
- **Tell the open PRs.** #912, #923, #928, #859 and #910 call
`herdrRpc<T>("pane.process_info", …)`. They should hear about the switch
to `paneProcessInfo` before the split lands. I have not commented on
those PRs.

Checks: `bun run check fast` passed (typecheck, build, 3452 unit tests).
`bun run test:integration` passed (455 pass, 0 fail).

## Change

Fix the intermittent `server/omo.contract.test.ts:52` failure in “labels
a running omo pane when herdr supplies no agent kind”.

## Root cause and evidence

The fixture waits for its script path in one herdr `pane.process_info`
response, but `labelOmoPanes` performs a separate fresh process probe.
The fixture marker is not a readiness barrier for that probe: a missing
matching foreground process or a failed probe leaves the original
snapshot's agent undefined. The test asserted the first label sample
immediately instead of waiting for the state it describes.

Main run 38555205694 on October 14, 2026 failed after 199.60 ms:
expected `"omo"`, received `undefined` at line 52:77. Five local pre-fix
isolated runs passed, including an attempted concurrent unit-suite load,
so the failure remained intermittent locally. The CI log and the two
independent process probes establish the synchronization gap without
guessing which negative-probe branch occurred.

Open PRs #984 and #985 do not touch this test. PR #923 changes custom
OmO runtime recognition but leaves this one-shot assertion unchanged, so
this is not a duplicate.

## Fix

Poll the exact labeled state with a bounded five-second deadline and 50
ms interval. The same original snapshot is retained, so all three
existing assertions still prove that herdr supplied no agent kind, the
derived snapshot is labeled `omo`, and the input snapshot is not
mutated. No assertion retry, timeout increase, fixed sleep, production
change, or changelog entry.

## Verification

- Five consecutive isolated contract runs passed on one unchanged source
fingerprint: `CHECK_WAIT_SECONDS=3600 bun run check run bash -c 'for i
in 1 2 3 4 5; do bun test --timeout 15000 ./server/omo.contract.test.ts
|| exit 1; done'`. Report: `23297fbe-e853-45cf-ad71-a4c6990b77e0`.
- `bun run check fast` passed on the same source fingerprint. Generated
types, typecheck, build, and unit tests all passed: 3,574 passed, 50
skipped, 0 failed. Report: `19778f35-f21d-4c74-987e-9c48ae6620a9`.
- `git diff --check` passed. Toolchain: Bun 1.4.2, Node 22.23.1, herdr
0.9.3, macOS arm64.

## Change

GJC can finish its parent turn while herdr still reports `working` from
a provider child. The Web UI now derives GJC turn status from the
transcript bound to its native runtime, independently of the selected
provider or preset.

The shared transcript tracker keeps OMO defaults and adds GJC-specific
lifecycle rules: native work and runtime notifications produce RUN,
final answers settle the turn, `ask` waits for input, and errors or
interrupted processes remain READY. Missing evidence falls back to
herdr, and restored bindings publish their current status over
WebSocket. Transcript discovery uses the foreground cwd and native
process start information, including the Windows process lookup.

Native OMO ownership takes precedence over a provider-child GJC label in
snapshot reads, periodic discovery, callbacks and status events. Native
ownership disappearing allows standalone GJC to take over again.

This corrects parent-turn status. It does not infer live background-job
counts from historical records; GJC maintains that live job state in
memory. No HTTP/WS wire fields, launchers, authentication or model
presets change.

## Validation

- Bun 1.4.2, herdr 0.9.3, Linux.
- `bun run check fast`: 3,019 passed, 0 failed, 8 skipped; workflow
syntax, generated types, application/tool typechecks and build passed.
- Combined with PR #923 in a separate worktree, the raw-GJC/native-OMO
ownership fixture failed before the fix and passed afterward (13
assertions, including a periodic refresh).
- Isolated native GJC + OMO binding contracts: 17 passed, 62 assertions.
- `bun run check run --build` (native contracts followed by `bun
scripts/gjc-status-browser-regression.ts`): six real Chromium scenarios
passed using owned panes, a real server, HTTP snapshots and WebSocket
status frames: completed history, native work, final completion despite
stale raw reports, background-result wake, user questions, and delayed
transcript readiness.
- Read-only verification distinguished a real GJC session's completed
historical turn from its subsequently resumed live work. Existing user
sessions were not changed.
- Windows process discovery is covered by injected tests; a live Windows
browser was not exercised.
