Problem

Three CI flakes:

  1. scripts/ui-contexts-regression.ts: split-view-regression.ts:81 timed out after 30 s waiting for two .pane-slots. The guide had shown "right", the mouse was released, and no split opened. Seen at splitRight lines 467 and 488 (runs 38426853901 and 38443069041).
  2. scripts/sticky-modifiers-regression.ts: in the kitty pass, the dropped "z" arrived as \x1b[200~z\x1b[201~ (run 38443069041).
  3. Native Windows install, "starts after its launcher exits, stops its owned tree and restarts on Windows": "could not verify the recorded herdr web ui process" (run 38423731292, attempt 1).

Root cause

  1. A product bug. The pane area accepted a sidebar drag only on dragover. A drop runs one more hit test. If the node under the pointer was replaced since the last dragover (xterm redraws its rows, the chat transcript renders again), Blink sends the new node a dragenter. Nobody accepted that event, so Chromium refuses the drop. The page then gets dragenter → dragleave → dragend and no drop. I reproduced this by replacing the node under the pointer before the drop and recording the events.
  2. A test race. Herdr's first attach screen carries \x1b[?2004h. The test waits for the key bar to be enabled (input-ready) and then injects \x1b[?2004l. Input-ready can come before the first screen: in the kitty pass, the probe measured the stream's 2004h 4 ms before the inject. When the first screen arrives later, it turns bracketed paste back on, and xterm wraps the drop.
  3. Not identifiable from the log. The stack is windows-plugin.test.ts:62 ← :147, and 147 is the finally block's cleanup run("stop"). So an earlier expect had already failed, and the cleanup stop's error replaced it. The log does not show which earlier check failed or which verification condition in plugin.ts stop() tripped.

Change

  • src/App.tsx: the pane area also handles onDragEnterCapture with the same accept logic as dragover. It still returns early for drags that are not pane drags.
  • scripts/split-view-regression.ts: new case 9b. A test-owned cover node over the pane area is replaced between the last dragover and the drop. The drop must still open the half.
  • scripts/sticky-modifiers-regression.ts: the test's WebSocket route strips \x1b[?2004h from herdr's pty-data, so bracketed paste stays off for the whole run, which every assertion assumes. Flow-control offsets come from the server, so editing data is safe. The strip does not catch a combined form such as \x1b[?2004;1049h. Herdr does not emit that today.
  • scripts/windows-plugin.test.ts: after an earlier failure, a failing cleanup stop no longer replaces the original error. The next time this flakes, the log will show the real failure. This is not a root-cause fix for the Windows flake.
  • changelog.d/split-drop-on-redrawn-node.md: Fixed + Maintenance.

Validation

  • New case 9b fails without the App fix with the same 30 s waitForFunction timeout at line 81. With the fix it passed in 3 out of 3 split-view-only runs.
  • A forced swap of the node under the pointer (temporary instrumentation) reproduced dragenter, dragleave, dragend with no drop before the fix, and passed after it.
  • The full scripts/ui-contexts-regression.ts run passed every check, checkSplitView included, under shared-machine load (nice 10). The check wrapper exited 1 only because a changelog file was added while it ran ("source changed during the check").
  • scripts/sticky-modifiers-regression.ts passed 5 out of 5 runs (nice 10).
  • bun run check fast passes.

…flake sticky and Windows tests

The pane area accepted a sidebar drag only on dragover. When the node under the pointer
is replaced between the last dragover and the drop (xterm redraws a row, the chat
transcript renders again), Chromium's drop hit test sends the new node a dragenter that
nobody accepts and then refuses the drop (dragenter, dragleave, dragend; no drop). The
area now accepts dragenter as well. A new split-view case replaces the node under the
pointer right before the drop; it timed out without the fix, as ui-contexts did in CI.

sticky-modifiers: herdr's first screen turns bracketed paste on, and it can arrive after
the key bar is ready and after the test turned the mode off, so a dropped "z" was
wrapped in paste markers. The test's WebSocket route now strips that mode from the
stream.

windows-plugin: a failing cleanup stop in the finally block hid the test's first
failure. The cleanup error is now ignored after an earlier failure.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved pane splitting by drag and drop in the sidebar. Drops now work when the terminal or chat redraws and replaces the target pane area during a drag, and the right-side pane opens as expected.

Pane split handling now processes drag entry events and includes a regression test for a replaced drop target. The changes also update bracketed-paste filtering in a test proxy and Windows test cleanup error handling.

Changes: Pane drop handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Accept drag entry on the pane area
src/App.tsx
The pane area now sends captured dragenter events to the existing pane drag-over handler. Comments describe target replacement and Chromium’s accepted-drag requirement.
Test target replacement at drop
scripts/split-view-regression.ts, changelog.d/split-drop-on-redrawn-node.md
The regression helper can replace the target before mouse release. The new scenario checks that the right-half terminal opens without page errors. The changelog records this fix and the test maintenance entries.

Sticky-modifier regression test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filter bracketed-paste enable messages
scripts/sticky-modifiers-regression.ts
The proxy strips bracketed-paste-enable sequences from string pty-data messages before forwarding them. Other messages continue through the existing forwarding path.

Windows install-test cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve the original test failure
scripts/windows-plugin.test.ts
The test records and rethrows failures from its main body. Cleanup rethrows a server-stop failure only when the main body did not fail.

The pane-drop fix is supported, but the sticky-modifier proxy can miss a split PTY sequence and failed Windows cleanup can leave a test server running. These are bounded test-harness risks, so the PR is mergeable with follow-up awareness.

Parked as a draft: a UI/UX rework is planned, and it will rewrite the browser tests this PR deflakes. Revisit after the rework if the flake still shows on the new UI.

## Change

Over the last day about three in ten runs of CI's browser lanes failed, on `main` as on pull requests, each time somewhere else. Four of the recurring places are races in the checks themselves, not in the app. Each was reproduced with a named delay before it was changed:

- **`terminal-input-regression.ts:65`, "input regression timed out"** (5 times). The check waits for the "Waiting for terminal input…" banner to be hidden, then dispatches `online` and waits for a ping. The banner is drawn only on a connected pane, so before the socket opens it is hidden too, and `wake()` then has nothing to probe (`probe()` returns unless the socket is open and the snapshot has said `ping`). No later event sends one. The check now waits for `.conn-live` first.
  Reproduced by opening the page's first socket 3 s late: 2 of 2 failed with CI's message at that line; 3 of 3 pass with the fix under the same delay.
- **`update-notice-regression.ts:74`, "one tap asks for the install: 0 !== 1"** (2 times). The line says "Starting the update…" as the button is pressed; the route that counts the request can run after that text is seen. The check now waits for the install request's response before it reads the count, for the first press and for Try again.
  Reproduced by counting the request 400 ms late: 2 of 2 failed with CI's message; 3 of 3 pass with the fix.
- **`usage-regression.ts:157`, "a hidden strip asks for nothing: 7 !== 6"**. Opening Settings mounts its own `useUsage`, which asks once; that request could be counted after the check had read its count and reloaded. The check now marks the reloaded page's requests with a header and asserts that none of those asked for usage.
  Reproduced by counting requests 150 ms late: 3 of 3 failed with CI's message; 3 of 3 pass with the fix. With plan limits switched back on before the reload the assertion still fails, as it must.
- **`mobile-viewport-regression.ts:37`, `'' !== 'contain'`** (3 times). The transcript's first node is replaced as the conversation loads, 42 to 126 ms after the composer appears in three local runs. A locator that found the first node and read its style after the swap reads a node outside the document, whose computed style is empty. The check now finds the node and reads the style in one step in the page.
  The swap and the empty style of the replaced node were observed; the timing that lands the read between them was not reproduced.

No app code changes. `sticky-modifiers` and the split drop are #984's, `chat-virtual` is #985's.

## Validation

- macOS arm64, Bun 1.4.0, herdr 0.9.3. `bun run typecheck`: pass. `scripts/conventions.test.ts`, `changelog-fold.test.ts`, `pages-gate.test.ts`: 39 pass.
- `bun run check run --build bun scripts/ui-regression.ts`: 65 PASS, exit 0.
- `bun scripts/ui-contexts-regression.ts`: exit 0, all 24 checks.
- The before/after runs above used a throwaway runner and delays that are not in this PR.
- Not run locally: the integration lane and the other browser scripts.

…laky (#1002)

## Change

CI's browser lanes failed about three in ten runs over the last day (57 of 192 jobs on the self-hosted runner, 29 of 89 on GitHub's before that), on `main` as on pull requests, at more than twenty different places. Until those races are fixed one by one (#984, #985 and the four in the companion PR are a start), every PR waits on reruns by hand.

`scripts/ci-browser-parallel.ts` now runs a failed script a second time. A script that then passes does not fail the lane, and is not hidden as a pass either:

- its first log is kept as `<script>.attempt-1.log` (uploaded with `browser-logs`) and its last 400 lines are printed;
- the summary marks it `~`, and `summary.json` lists it under `flaky` with the first log's path;
- on GitHub it gets a warning annotation and a line in the job summary.

A script that fails twice fails the lane as before. `BROWSER_RETRY=0` turns the second run off. The serial lane (`ci-browser.sh`, `bun run check browser`) is unchanged: it still stops at the first failure.

The cost is real and worth saying: a failure that only happens sometimes can now merge. That is why a flaky pass is loud. This keeps one PR from waiting on another change's race; it does not make a race acceptable.

## Validation

- macOS arm64, Bun 1.4.0. `bun run typecheck`: pass. `scripts/pages-gate.test.ts` (new case for `scriptOutcome`), `conventions.test.ts`, `changelog-fold.test.ts`: 40 pass.
- Run for real with `BROWSER_SCRIPTS=scripts/deep-link-demo-regression.ts bun scripts/ci-browser-parallel.ts` and a throwaway line that made that script exit 1:
  - failing on its first run only: exit 0, `FLAKY` line, `~` in the summary, `flaky: ["scripts/deep-link-demo-regression.ts"]` in `summary.json`, both logs present, the `::warning` line and the job-summary text written;
  - failing every time: exit 1, "FAILED … (exit 1, twice)";
  - failing on its first run with `BROWSER_RETRY=0`: exit 1 after one run.
- Not run locally: the lanes themselves beyond that one script.

## 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.

The lane handoff records the root cause, CI timing evidence, diff, full
verification log references, and this PR URL at
`.omo/mass-ulw/2026-10-14/A3.md`.

…owth (#1098)

## Change

### Root cause

The stale-navigation test equates complete bottom-relative scroll
snapshots after a substring output receipt. The receipt can precede
remaining cat/terminal-echo output, so history can grow while the
viewport stays anchored. Main CI run 38559049536 expected max/offset
462/308 and received 463/309: both have absolute top row 154 and
viewport_rows 40. paneFind rejects a stale previous revision before
copy_search or pane.scroll. The test was treating history growth as
viewport movement.

### Fix

Compare the exact absolute viewport top (max_offset_from_bottom -
offset_from_bottom) and viewport height in both navigation directions.
Preserve the positive scrolled-offset precondition, HTTP 409, and
stale_content assertions. A one-row viewport move still fails. No
timeout increase, retry, sleep, or production change.

### Evidence

- Retrieved the failed CI log with `gh run view 38559049536
--log-failed`; the failure is at `server/find.contract.test.ts:174`.
Both snapshots describe top row 154, not a viewport move. The
copy-revision guard in `server/herdr/client.ts:511` rejects this request
before search or scroll.
- Checked open file/offset PRs and read #984, #985 and #1090; none fixes
this exact failure.
- Five pre-fix isolated iterations passed (18 tests each), and a sixth
iteration running alongside `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun run test:unit`
passed; the load also exited 0. No local reproduction claimed: the CI
log and scroll-coordinate contract prove the cause.
- Replaying the CI snapshots as assertions makes the original equality
fail and the fixed invariant pass; a one-row movement, height change or
null scroll metadata still fails.

## Validation

- `CHECK_WAIT_SECONDS=3600 bun run check run bash -c 'for i in 1 2 3 4
5; do bun test --timeout 15000 ./server/find.contract.test.ts || exit 1;
done'`: 5/5 consecutive passes, 18 tests each, runner exit 0; source
unchanged throughout. Baseline and fixed reports:
`b79813b2-1dd9-4c2e-8121-011ea62d78d2`,
`3bedd127-711e-479a-89e4-03081936ad09` under
`node_modules/.cache/check/`.
- `UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 CHECK_WAIT_SECONDS=3600 bun run check fast`: exit
1 only in untouched `server/portal.test.ts`, `running Portal > does not
follow redirects when checking the relay version` (10-second readiness
timeout reporting Portal not installed). Unit totals: 3573 pass, 1 fail,
50 skip across 287 files. Generated-type freshness, typecheck and build
all exit 0. Report: `130c8ec7-b2ec-46d0-ae89-86daacbda03f`. This is
recorded as an out-of-scope load/environment failure under the
assignment's explicit exception; PR CI is the authoritative gate, and
local Fast is not claimed green.
- `git diff --check`: exit 0. LSP unavailable
(`typescript-language-server` not installed); repository typecheck
passed instead. Workflow syntax is platform-skipped on darwin arm64 and
remains CI-owned.
- Only the contract test changes. No production behavior or user-visible
change, so no changelog fragment is required by `changelog.d/README.md`.
