Summary

The UI suite runs on the Demo, which plays every agent but is not one. This branch adds npm run e2e:live, which runs the app against the Mac it is on with real agents and cleans up after itself, and fixes the first bug it found, one commit each.

This branch sits on remaining-gaps (#177); merge it after #177.

Changes

• npm run e2e:live (scripts/e2e-live.sh, HC-128).

  • It starts its own sshd on 127.0.0.1 with a key made for the run. ~/.ssh and Remote Login are not touched.
  • It adds the host in the app with add-server, which now takes a port and a name.
  • For each agent whose herdr integration is current, or those in LIVE_AGENTS, it starts a probe chat from New chat in a scratch folder (live/probe.yaml). The folder trust question is answered by its words, then one message is sent and the run waits for the agent's own reply. LIVE_PICTURE=1 also sends a picture (live/picture.yaml).
  • Pass or fail, it closes the scratch workspaces, deletes the sessions Claude and Grok filed for them, removes the host (live/remove-host.yaml), stops the sshd and deletes the key. Prompts go only to chats the run started.
  • Three traps found while making it are noted in the flows. A value in a flow's env: overrides -e, so the first run tested port 22, this Mac's own sshd, and was rejected. eraseText deletes back from where the tap put the cursor, so New chat's prefilled folder is cleared through Select All. Claude's trust menu lists "No, exit" first.

• Grok's working screen is one working line (HC-134, found by the first live run). While Grok worked, the thread showed "⠋ Thinking… 0.0s 2.6s ⇣1.46k [stop]" under the reply as if Grok had written it, above the app's own "Writing…".

  • The preview anchors on the agent's spinner, and Grok's is a braille glyph the anchor did not know.
  • Read with herdr pane read on Grok 4.7, its screen while it works is blank rows with a scrollbar at their edge (the reply is scrolled out of view), the spinner and timer, and the composer box. The spinner check now takes a braille glyph, and a row that is only a scrollbar is chrome.
  • Three captured screens are fixtures. The Demo's Grok works under the same screen for "think it over", and regression/grok checks that only the app's line shows. Five new tests fail without the fix.

• Antigravity in the live run, and a host removal that really removes (74e08a2). Running it with Antigravity found three problems in the run, none in the app:

  • With the keyboard up, Antigravity's row sat behind it, and the tap started Claude Code from the floating Start button. The probe now picks the agent before typing.
  • remove-host passed without removing anything: it looked for the host's name, but the row reads as one element, "Use ". The script now reads the host's id from the app's database, removes that row and checks the database.
  • agy keeps each probe under its conversation id and lists the prompt and the trusted folder by path; the cleanup removes all of them.
  • Two traces stay, and the script says so: Claude's trust of each scratch folder in ~/.claude.json, which every running Claude rewrites, and agy's summary database, which agy holds open.

Test plan

• npx tsc --noEmit: no errors
• npx expo lint: no errors, no warnings
• npx jest: 2,069 passed, 14 skipped
• python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p 'test_*.py': passes
• npm run e2e:live on the iPhone 17 Pro simulator (iOS 27) against this Mac (herdr 0.9.5), with Claude, Grok and Antigravity (its integration installed for the run, then removed and its config checked against a copy): the host added, each probe answered "42", the host removed and confirmed gone from the app's database. Afterwards herdr's workspaces, ~/.claude/projects, ~/.grok/sessions and agy's conversations, history and settings were as before, and no sshd was running.
• LIVE_AGENTS=grok LIVE_PICTURE=1 on the iPhone 18 Pro simulator: the picture was uploaded, shown in the bubble, and Grok read its title ("Spaces").
• npm run e2e in Dark and Light on the iPhone 17 Pro simulator (iOS 27): 52 of 52, on a Release build of this branch together with the agent names branch (built with Xcode 27.1 from a fresh npm ci). Screenshots opened in both modes.

The script is careful (its own sshd on 127.0.0.1, a key for the run only, every rm -rf bounded), and the Grok working-line fix is right. Two fixes in scripts/e2e-live.sh before it goes in:

• Claude's probe transcripts are never deleted. Claude turns every character that isn't a letter or digit into -; the sed turns only / and ., and TMPDIR on macOS has _ in it (/var/folders/z1/ss_9fy…). sed 's|[^A-Za-z0-9]|-|g'.
• A second Ctrl-C during cleanup stops it halfway. trap - EXIT INT TERM restores SIGINT before a 20–60 s Maestro flow, so a second Ctrl-C there leaves the host saved in the app, the key in $WORK, and possibly sshd listening. Ignore INT and TERM inside cleanup instead.

Smaller: assert the folder field holds ${CWD} before a probe starts, so one can never start in a real folder that cleanup then leaves alone; .*\b42\b.* also matches a row time like 09:42; a typo in LIVE_AGENTS isn't caught, because the pipeline returns cut's status; and the header's "left behind" list should name Codex, Pi and OMP sessions too.
