Builds on #24864, now on main, whose cancel answer names the turn the interrupt took.

ELI5

If you press Stop while Codex is still starting its turn, the chat can show a stray "Cancellation requested." line outside that turn, at the bottom of the chat and below anything that came after. Now that line stays with the turn you stopped, folded under it like after any other Stop.

What Changed

The problem. You send a message to Codex and press Stop before Codex has opened the turn. Orca waits for the turn to open and then interrupts it. The turn ends "Interrupted after N", as it should.

  • But the Stop's "Cancellation requested." line is not part of that turn. It is a loose line for the whole conversation, so it never folds under the turn's caret.
  • It is drawn after the turn's output and after any message recorded in the meantime, which makes it read like a note about something else.
  • A normal Stop, of a turn already running, keeps that same line inside the turn, folded away.
  • The cause: the Stop decided where its note belongs before it waited for the turn to open. At that moment no turn was running, so the note was made a conversation-level row and keyed to the Stop request instead of to the turn.

Before / after:

Situation Before After
Stop pressed while Codex is still opening the turn; the interrupt then takes that turn "Cancellation requested." shows as a loose line below the turn, and below any later message The line belongs to that turn and folds under its caret, as after a normal Stop
Stop of a turn already running The line is inside the turn Unchanged
A Stop Codex refused, or one Orca could not confirm The refusal or "not confirmed" line, as before Unchanged
A Stop that writes no line No line Unchanged

Mechanism. In cancelAndNote (src/main/native-chat/agent-session-wire/structured-agent-session-turns-cancel.ts):

  • After the cancel returns, the note is keyed and scoped from the interrupt's own answer: the turn the provider says it took (outcome.turnId, which fix(native-chat): a Stop binds only the turn it actually stopped #24864 adds).
  • That is the turn a Stop pressed while Codex was still opening the turn waited for. The note is then written into that turn, as it is when the Stop finds the turn already running.
  • A second Stop of the same turn rewrites the one line instead of adding another.
  • A Stop whose interrupt took no turn (refused, unconfirmed, no row, or withdrawal only) keeps the scope and key it has today.

Why

A normal Stop already keeps this line inside the turn it stopped; this makes a Stop that had to wait for the turn to open behave the same.

Alternatives considered:

  • Infer the turn from the journal, as the newest turn that opened while the Stop waited. That works, but it is an inference; the interrupt's answer states the fact.
  • Decide the note's place after the wait for every Stop. That would also move refusal and "not confirmed" lines, which describe a Stop that did not stop a turn. Only a Stop whose interrupt was taken moves its note.

Linked Issue

Found in QA of the Stop work in #24864 and #24369. The same defect is on main; this fix builds on #24864, which reports the turn a Stop's interrupt took.

Visual Proof

Live QA on a separate Mac, against background builds driving a native Codex chat. The chat was backed by a stand-in Codex that can hold its answer to a send, so Stop can be pressed while Codex is still opening the turn.

Before (a build without this fix): after a Stop pressed while Codex was still opening the turn, "Cancellation requested." sits loose at the very bottom of the chat, below later messages.

After (this PR, d88724d): the turn opens, streams and ends "Interrupted after 18s". There is no loose line at the bottom. Expanding the stopped turn shows "Cancellation requested." inside it, the same as after a normal Stop.

Before: loose line at the bottom After: inside the stopped turn A normal Stop (unchanged)
before after normal stop

This build has no "Stopping…" state on the Stop button, because that comes from a separate PR (#24369).

Testing

  • I manually tested these changes locally
  • Automated tests added/updated, or explained why not below

New tests:

  • src/main/runtime/structured-agent-session-codex-turn-end-settlement.test.ts, "keeps its note with the turn the interrupt took". It runs end to end through the real host, journal and Codex adapter, with only the Codex child faked:
    1. A send.
    2. Codex holds its turn/start answer.
    3. Stop is pressed and waits.
    4. The answer arrives, the turn opens, and the interrupt takes it, so the turn ends interrupted.
    5. Asserts the only "Cancellation requested." is keyed to that turn and scoped to it, not a conversation-level row.
  • src/main/native-chat/agent-session-wire/structured-agent-session-stop-note-opened-turn.test.ts:
    • a Stop that waited for a turn keeps its note with the turn the interrupt's answer names;
    • a refused one leaves its row with the conversation, as before.

The fix was checked by breaking it and watching its tests fail. Without the keying from the interrupt's answer, both "took it" tests fail, and the end-to-end one gets a conversation-level row keyed to the Stop request.

Review

Agent skill upstream boundary

  • Not applicable, or this change follows docs/reference/agent-skill-sharing-upstream-boundary.md and copies or mechanically translates no upstream skill-installer source, tests, fixtures, registry entries, path tables, comments, or documentation.

Notes

  • SSH/remote: the change runs on the execution host, where the Stop and the journal live. Nothing about where work runs changes.
  • Mixed versions: the note row keeps its shape; only its turn scope and key change for this one case. An older client draws a turn-scoped status row as it already does for a normal Stop.
  • Cross-platform: no platform-dependent code.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why (ELI5, the user-facing before/after, the mechanism, and why over the alternatives)
  • Before/after screenshots or videos attached for UI changes, or N/A with reason
  • Self-reviewed for correctness, security, and performance

A Stop pressed before any turn showed used to claim, at end-write time,
whatever turn the stopped send later opened, even when the Stop stopped
nothing. A turn that then died on its own read as "Interrupted" (your
cancellation) instead of "Failed".

Now a person's Stop that named no turn binds, in memory only, every turn
that ends while the Stop settles, and afterwards only the turn its
interrupt took. The settle ends a still-running stopped turn once. A
relaunch finds nothing in memory, so an unsettled turnless Stop binds no
turn. A Codex Stop whose answered turn does not open within its wait, or
whose send's answer was lost, now answers refused, so the host ends the
child and the turn can never run.
…er a Stop settles

A host stop or eviction with no turn running now defers to a person's
Stop while its queue pause still holds with nothing sent since, read from
rows, so a held card is not handed off on reopen after a Stop that did
nothing or whose kill failed.

A person's close that named no turn opens a settle around its child's
end, so a turn that end cuts reads as theirs.

A press opens its settle only when the latest Stop event is its own or
the one in force it repeats: a late Stop, a card's interrupt or a lost
event row reopens no earlier Stop.

A Codex Stop that cannot reach a turn still able to open says the Stop is
unconfirmed rather than that no turn ran, and a second Stop still reaches
a turn an earlier wait left unopened.

Also drops the unused openedBy plumbing and the unreachable "a written
cancellation stays one" rule, and pins a relaunch after a named Stop.
…still owed, and pin the close's settle

A Codex Stop that waited for a turn Codex answered a send into now answers
"may still open" whenever that turn neither opened nor ended and its send
is still owed, however the wait ended (it ran out, or the thread went
idle). Before, a first press after an idle thread said no turn was
running and kept Codex, while an identical second press ended it.

Adds a test that a person's close the conversation outlives (as /clear
does) closes its settle, so a later turn that ends on its own reads as a
failure.

…earlier Stop

With one ordered journal writer the Stop's event is in the fold when its
write returns, so the press reads whether it owns the latest Stop from the
fold instead of awaiting the write. Pins the case the read must refuse.
…eads interrupted throughout

Codex answers an interrupt it took before it sends turn/completed (interrupted):
on TurnAborted the app-server answers pending interrupts, then ends the turn, on
one channel. The test fake did the reverse. It now answers first and ends the
turn on a later read, and the tests that read the turn's end right after a Stop
wait for it.

New end-to-end test through the shipped host, journal and Codex adapter: with
the real order, every end row of the stopped turn reads interrupted by the Stop
(named, unnamed, and a Stop pressed while turn/start was in flight). Breaking the
settle window turns the in-flight case red: the Stop's own end row then has no
verdict, which reads as failed until Codex's end lands.
…as not opened at once

A Stop that named no turn, made after Codex answered a send but before the turn
opened, used to wait up to 5 s for the turn to open before interrupting, and
ended the Codex process when it didn't. The stated reason, that Codex refuses an
interrupt until it opens the turn, holds only part of the time: with no turn
active, Codex takes an interrupt once its thread runs (turn_interrupt_inner),
and refuses it with -32600 "no active turn to interrupt" before that or once
the turn has ended.

The Stop now sends the interrupt at once. Only on that refusal, while the turn
has neither opened nor ended, does it wait for the turn to open (bounded at
5 s) and send it once more. A turn that ended meanwhile was nothing to stop. One
that never opens, or that an earlier wait already gave up on, fails the Stop,
and the host ends the child as before. Sends still wait for the turn to open
before steering into it.

The test fake models Codex taking an interrupt once the thread runs (run()).
…t, as the first did

A Stop whose interrupt Codex refused as finding no active turn skipped the wait
when an earlier wait, a Stop's or a send's, had already given up on that turn.
Every press now waits its own bound and retries once if the turn starts, so a
turn that opens during a later press is still stopped. Both presses still reach
the same verdict when it never starts.
…ened withdraws its send

A Stop on a Codex turn that was answered but never opened ends the Codex
process. That end settled the send as in doubt (unknown, recovered), and the
client's outbox holds every later send behind a send in doubt until the person
presses Retry, which re-sends the very message they stopped. The chat looked
stuck.

Codex records a prompt only once its turn has started, so a send whose turn
never opened never ran. When the Stop's refusal says so (turnMayOpen), the child
end now settles the unanswered sends as withdrawn, the verdict Codex's own
interrupted-turn end already gives an unechoed send. The flag rides on the owed
wind-down, so a retry after a failed child end withdraws them too. Claude's
child end still leaves its unanswered send in doubt.
…ver opened

Replaces the flag the Stop carried to the child's end, and its copy on the owed
wind-down, with a reading of the journal at the settlement that lands. A Codex
child's unanswered send is withdrawn when a person's Stop is in force since it
was sent and no turn row ran, or was written, after it; any other end (a turn
that opened, a host's close, a crash, Claude) still leaves it in doubt. A
retried wind-down reads the same rows, so it withdraws the same sends.
The derived withdrawal read a turn as open for a send only if it still ran or
was written after the send. A send steered into a running Codex turn whose
interrupt failed met neither once the adapter's end settled that turn ahead of
the host's settle, so it read withdrawn, though Codex drains a steer into the
running turn and may hold it. A turn that ended after the send was handed over
was open for it too: such a send stays in doubt, as before.

Pins that case, and that a send made after the Stop, to a child that then dies
before its turn opens, stays in doubt.
… turn, not by timing

Whether a turn was open for a send was read from end times: a turn that ended
after the send's handover counted. A send made while a Stop ended the turn is
handed over once that turn reads ended, yet Codex's own end for it can arrive
later, so such a send whose own turn never opened read in doubt again, and the
chat's queue held behind it.

The handover already records where the send went: its message joins the turn
running then (a steer) or belongs to no turn (it starts its own). Only a send
that started its own turn, with none opened since, is withdrawn; one that
joined a running turn, or has no recorded place, stays in doubt.

The Codex test fake takes an answered interrupt as Codex does, dropping the
turn before its end arrives.
…at never ran

A Stop on a Codex send whose turn never opened ends the child, and the child's end
takes the send back into the composer. The Stop still wrote "Cancellation
requested." at the conversation level, so with the send gone it sat under the
previous finished turn and read as if that turn had been stopped. A Stop that found
no turn running and whose child end took back every send it found now writes no
row; a Stop of a running turn, or one that leaves a send in doubt, still does.
…stopped

A Stop pressed while Codex was still opening the turn read the note's place
before it waited: no turn was running yet, so "Cancellation requested." became
a loose conversation row, never folded with the turn, drawn below whatever came
next. Once the interrupt takes a turn that opened during that wait, the note is
now scoped and keyed to that turn, as a normal Stop's is. A refused or
unconfirmed Stop, and one that writes no row, are unchanged.

…s it back

The no-row rule counted only pending sends, but the child's end also takes back a send this process left in doubt when Codex's turn/start answer was lost. That case still wrote "Cancellation requested." under the previous turn. Both now read one predicate, so they cannot drift apart.

Reviewed changes

This PR makes a Stop pressed while Codex is still opening a turn keep its "Cancellation requested." note with the turn the interrupt eventually took, instead of leaving it as a loose conversation-level row.

  • Note keyed and scoped from the interrupt's answer. In cancelAndNote (structured-agent-session-turns-cancel.ts:363), after the cancel returns, the note's scope and identity now prefer outcome.turnId (stoppedTurn) over the values read before the wait. A Stop whose interrupt took no turn (refused, unconfirmed, withdrawal) is unchanged.
  • Repeated Stop rewrites one row. Keying by the stopped turn means a second Stop of that turn overwrites the same row rather than adding another.
  • Coverage. A new unit test pins the taken/refused split, and the existing Codex turn-end settlement suite gains an end-to-end case.

Verification: both new test files pass, and I reverted the 4-line fix to confirm the new unit test fails without it (stop:stop-1/thread scope instead of stop:turn-1/turn scope), so it is real coverage. The stoppedTurn-not-found fallback to the pre-wait turnScope is not reachable on the Codex opening path: the provider emits turn/started ahead of the interrupt answer, and the journal turn row is folded synchronously and in order before the note is appended.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The cancellation path now uses the provider-reported stopped-turn ID, when available, to identify the Stop note and resolve its journal scope. Tests cover successful and refused cancellation outcomes when a turn opens during cancellation. A runtime test also checks that the opened turn is interrupted and that its cancellation status note is keyed and scoped to that turn.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9389

A Stop note can still appear outside the turn it stopped. Resolve the journal-ordering race before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c9389

Stop notes now follow the turn actually stopped, while existing session checks and access permissions remain unchanged. No new security issue was identified. Remaining uncertainty concerns unusual provider responses and failures between cancellation and saving the note.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The attributable effect is bounded to Stop-note metadata in the current session journal. The changed turn ID is not used to select another session, acquire credentials, or gain additional cancellation authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The provider response supplies attribution, but persistence still uses the caller's existing session-owned journal and fence. Named-turn lookup is local to that journal, preserving the storage boundary rather than treating a turn ID as authority to access another journal.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Existing operation replay and serialized cancellation limit repeated effects. Stable turn-keyed note identity uses existing same-item revision behavior, so repeated writes for the same stopped turn revise one journal item. These containment mechanisms predate the PR.

Wait for the stopped turn’s journal row before resolving the Stop-note scope.

cancelAndNote captures turnScope before cancelTurn. On Codex’s opening-turn path, a successful first interrupt returns without waiting for turn/started, and the turn-start sink queues the lifecycle append instead of waiting for it to land. If the row is still pending when structuredAgentSessionNamedTurnScope reads the journal, it returns null; the ?? turnScope fallback writes the note under the pre-cancel scope. endStoppedTurnAtSettle also skips the turn when its row is absent. Wait for the row to land, or reconcile the note’s scope when it arrives.

…nstead of shared code naming Claude and Codex (#25076)

* refactor(native-chat): keep the provider resume handle opaque to shared code

Shared structured-chat code parsed each provider's resume handle: Claude's
session id and branch leaf, Codex's thread id, through a 'claude' | 'codex'
union every new agent had to widen. The in-memory handle is now
{ transport, agent, nativeId, providerData? }: shared readers use nativeId,
lease and handle-chain checks compare transport and agent, and only the
Claude adapter reads its leaf (providerData).

Stored and wire forms are unchanged for Claude and Codex. One encoding
module writes their typed shapes and decodes both those and the neutral
shape a new transport uses, which an older build refuses as unreadable
rather than reading as Codex. Key and root strings, which fork seeds,
superseded creations and resume offers persist, stay byte-identical.

The journal's own handle type becomes the journal-row and attach-wire
encoding of the same handle, and the journal identity carries the
neutral handle (null before the provider proves one).

No user-visible change.

* fix(native-chat): derive journal-row provider handles from the journal identity

The journal row converter now takes the identity every caller already holds,
so a row's handle has one obvious constructor. Tests that wrote the in-memory
handle straight into journal rows now build it through that converter, and the
processless Claude fixture names a not-yet-proved handle as null.

* fix(native-chat): refuse a stored provider handle written in both forms

A typed Claude or Codex handle that also carries the neutral form's
transport, agent, native id or provider data named two identities; it
was read as Claude or Codex and the next write dropped the other one.
Such a row now stays unreadable and is set aside untouched.

* refactor(native-chat): route structured agents through registered definitions

The structured-chat shared layer named Claude and Codex in a closed router
type, in option reads, in frame classification, and in renderer label and
validation branches, so adding an agent meant editing shared types. Each
agent now has a definition (capabilities, resting option rules) owned by its
own module; the router is a registry of definition + adapter pairs built at
runtime setup, and shared code reads the definition instead of the name.

No behavior change for Claude or Codex; no wire or stored shape change.

* refactor(native-chat): name the structured agent list once in host types

The host types, conversation commands, provider-session ownership and the
runtime's create path spelled the structured agent list inline; they now use
the one shared type the record and wire already validate against.

* fix(native-chat): narrow the record before reading its agent's option rules

* refactor(native-chat): make the router's registrations the only agent definition lookup

The at-rest option reads looked definitions up in a second, separately populated map, so a
registered definition could route and declare capabilities while the static map decided which
options a chat at rest accepted. The router now answers `definition(agent)` from its
registrations, the at-rest readers take it through the host's adapter, and the built-in
definitions are listed only where the runtime composes the router.

* test(native-chat): use opaque handle in queued rejection fixture

* test(native-chat): share one Codex journal identity in the integration suite

Main grew the suite to the 800-line limit; the opaque-handle import pushed it
over. The two tests built the same identity inline.

* refactor(agent-session): name the handle's adapter state resumeCursor

Rename the neutral provider handle's providerData to resumeCursor before any
row persists the neutral form: it is an adapter-owned resume position (Claude's
transcript leaf), never identity. Claude/Codex stored and wire bytes are
unchanged; their typed shapes never carried the field.

State the stored-form contract (a handle's field set is closed; later per-link
data goes on the chain link, which every build preserves) and pin it with a
record round-trip test. Document that transport records the id space the
native id was minted in, which can differ from the agent's current transport.

* refactor(agent-session): one required agent registry; declarations admit what they claim

A StructuredAgentRegistry, built once from the {definition, adapter}
registrations, is now a required host dependency and the router routes with
it. The adapter interface loses its optional router-only capabilities?() and
definition?(); every reader (options at rest, thread goal, rewind, the
/compact handover) asks the registry. A live session still narrows rewind
through the adapter, and the host combines declared and narrowed in one
helper. The registry refuses a registration that declares compact, a thread
goal or rewind without the adapter method behind it.

/compact is admitted by the declared capability, so an agent that declares
compact:false gets the commandRefused fact instead of a thrown error.

Also: the cut-turn notice names the agent from the catalog, create-support
builds the account home through agentSessionAccountHome, and the turn
status text older clients read names the session's agent instead of
defaulting to Codex (Claude/Codex text unchanged).

* refactor(agent-session): the router applies the declared rewind itself

The router holds the registry, so its rewindSupport answers the owner's
declared rewind narrowed by the adapter, in one place no reader can bypass.
The host-side combining helper is gone; readers ask the adapter they hold.

* chore(agent-session): the registry is the one lookup; drop the test-only empty capability record

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity and turn context the current way

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle; the turn context also needs this branch's agent registry.

* test(ratchet): require src/main/provider-process now that it has landed

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 and this branch both added the import at different lines; the merge kept both.
brennanb2025 added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 6, 2026
* fix(native-chat): a child's root exit is reported even during its close, and bookkeeping after it never reads as unproven

- Both connections report the root process's exit once, with `expected` set when a close had
  begun. A close that came back unproven and whose root exits later is finished by the adapter,
  and its end reaches the host like any other.
- A Claude close whose resume-point write fails after the exit was proven, and a Codex close whose
  terminal row is refused, now end the session and report the failure, instead of keeping a dead
  child indexed as if its exit were unproven.
- A Codex close whose forced tree kill can't prove the descendants gone but saw the root exit
  reports the descendants and counts the root exit.
- Every child exit with an identity, expected or not, is forwarded to the host.

* fix(native-chat): the exit ends the child's record; an unfinished stop is the child's own close, which everyone joins

- The host keeps no stored "stop still owed" record any more. A stop begins the child's close
  (`child.close`), which lives on the child and ends with it. A second Stop, the idle reaper,
  quit, a send and an option/answer/goal/rewind all join that close instead of retrying a
  separate obligation.
- A caller waits on the close only as long as the step deadline; the close itself is never
  abandoned. A proof that lands after every caller stopped waiting reaches the host as the
  adapter's report of that exit, which ends the record through the same handler.
- Once the exit is proven, draining, settling, the lease release and the adapter's
  acknowledgement are each attempted and reported on failure; none keeps the child on record.
  A start, and the handle's close, write a release that failed from this host's proof of that
  exit, so a failed write never refuses a send.
- A start that meets a close still unverifiable is refused with `previousExitUnverifiable`, so the
  queued message is rejected with a send-again reason; nothing is held and nothing starts beside
  the old process.
- The idle sweep goes back to idle reaping only.
- Removes #24333's retry entry points, the wait row and its hold rule, the ask/failure cursors on
  the stored record, and the stop's own wake.

Tests replace the #24333 unproven-stop test: a send joining an unproven close and an in-flight
one, a late proof past the caller's bound, a root exiting after its close gave up, a proven exit
whose resume-point write and lease release both failed, an unverifiable close rejecting the send
and refusing an option change, a surviving descendant, quit and the idle reaper; and Codex's
unverifiable, late-exit and joined-close cases.

* fix(native-chat): a message refused because the old process's exit is unverifiable says so, and to send again

The start failure for a refusal with reason `previousExitUnverifiable` reads "Orca couldn't
confirm Claude's previous process ended. Send your message to try again." instead of "Claude
couldn't restart." The status-row kind and the refusal reason stay in the shared lists for rows
and hosts that still carry them; the catalogs keep one sentence for both.

* fix(native-chat): a close's verdict is the root's exit alone, and what follows it is logged

- A Claude close resolves as soon as the root's exit is proven: the session ends and its `ended`
  report goes out then. Saving the resume point runs afterwards and a failure is logged, so a slow
  or hung write never reads as an unproven exit or keeps a dead child on record.
- A root that exits after its close came back unproven finishes that close through the same path
  as any close, so the session's child work is published as ended (background tasks and subagents
  no longer stay shown running for a dead agent), and a failure there is logged.
- Codex logs a refused final row, and reports a root exit whose forced tree kill could not prove
  the rest of the tree gone the way Claude does, so the host logs it and blocks nothing.
- Both adapters take the host's logger for this bookkeeping.

* fix(native-chat): one handler ends every child's exit, and a join waits on the adapter's own close

- One exit handler (`structured-agent-session-child-exit`) ends a child's record for an exit
  expected or not. `expected` only changes what the chat is told: the stop's cause, its end at the
  stop's ask, the settlement id, and no crash outcome row. The lease release keeps the exit's
  evidence; the handoff guard, lifecycle barrier, sink release and adapter acknowledgement apply to
  both. A Claude journal-sink failure ends in the same step as its stop, as Orca's own fault.
- Joining a close is asking the adapter, whose close is memoized while it runs and bounded by its
  own kill escalation; the host keeps no attempt of its own and no 10 s caller bound. An ask after
  a close came back unproven runs the stop again.
- A close's end is stamped where its stop was asked for (a repeated ask moves it), so the closed
  chat and failed start checks order a message accepted meanwhile after it.
- A start refused because the old exit is unverifiable rejects what was queued in the same step.
- The end of a close the host asked for no longer waits on the cross-session recovery chain.
- The kill no longer waits for the stop event's write; the journal writes rows in order.

* fix(native-chat): an exit's lease release lands whatever the length of its reason

A crash's reason can carry kilobytes of the provider's stderr, and a lease whose death detail is
over 512 characters fails the store's own check. The exit handler cut it, but the release a start
or the chat handle's close re-derives did not, so after a crash whose own release failed every
message was refused as not resumable until restart. The record's builder now cuts the detail to
the record's bound, so no writer can hand it one too long.

* fix(claude): a proven close waits at most 2 s for the output it already wrote

Once the root's exit is proven, the close still waited for the SDK's output reader to end. Something
outside the process tree that holds the output open would keep that close, and every send, Stop
and quit joining it, waiting with no bound. The wait is now bounded; past it the close resolves as
proven and the open output is logged.

* fix(codex): an exit reported inside Orca's close keeps the reason Orca closed it for

The connection reports the app-server's exit inside the close that ends it, so that report ended
every Codex close and replaced the close's own reason (for example, a provider frame that could not
be recorded) with the connection's stderr text in the ended record and the lease's exit evidence.
The session now records Orca's close with its reason, and the exit it ends keeps that reason. The
test connection reports its exit inside close the way the real one does.

* fix(native-chat): quit stops delivery before it drains exit recovery

Every exit now wakes delivery, and teardown drained exit recovery before it stopped delivery, so an
exit settled in that window could start a fresh agent that teardown then killed. Teardown stops
delivery first; queued messages wait for the next launch.

* docs(native-chat): the unverifiable-exit refusal no longer names a caller's wait

The caller's bounded wait was removed; the comment describes the close as it is now.

* fix(native-chat): a stop whose kill did not take is logged, and the next ask kills again

When a close's kill leaves the agent's root running, the host now logs it. Tests pin what a later
ask does: each connection runs its whole stop again (Codex sends SIGKILL a second time), refuses
input meanwhile, and proves the exit once the kill takes.

* fix(native-chat): a start refused over the old process says Orca couldn't stop it

The host reaches an unverifiable verdict only after its own kill left the agent's root running, on
the machine that runs the agent, so the sentence now says that: "Orca couldn't stop {agent}'s
previous process." The refusal reason, failure kind and wire shapes are unchanged. The host test
also checks the failed kill is logged.

* docs(native-chat): an unverifiable close verdict is a root that survived the kill

The host's close runs where the agent runs, so lost contact never yields this verdict; the comment no longer says it does.

* fix(native-chat): a kill that did not take is reported once, by whoever met it

The log added at the close fired beside a Stop's own failure report for the same event. A stop
still reports it through its failure; a send or option change refused over it now logs it at the
refusal, the only place it is otherwise invisible.

* test(native-chat): a second Stop joins a close the first could not prove and retries its kill

* fix(native-chat): say a start refused beside an unstopped process plainly

The rejection now reads "Couldn't stop {{agent}} from before. Send your message again to try once more."
This kind has its own send-again step; every other failure keeps "Send your message to try again."

* Move provider process supervision and stream reading out of Codex

* Preserve teardown behavior with checked mock types after move

* Apply provider launch environment and caller teardown labels

* Share managed provider launch, exit observation, and close

* Preserve synchronous stdin closure before the grace wait

* Keep the stacked Claude adapter within the module size limit

* Handle nullable provider stdin and processless fixture identity

* Preserve close-time cleanup diagnostics after a late provider exit

* Separate provider root and descendant exit observations

* Give provider child env one owner and gate Codex contract on the shared reader

resolveProviderChildEnv is now the only place that overlays and strips a
provider's environment; the spawn spec and the request-scoped Codex session
both call it. supervisedPosixLaunch only accepts a launch without env fields,
so an override can no longer be silently ignored there. Edits to the shared
stream reader or the env rule now run the real-binary Codex contract job.

* Give every provider one close result, stderr tail and root-only default

- A close reports the root and the descendants with the one verdict vocabulary
  (live / unverifiable / exited); `tree` is null when the close made no
  descendant observation, and the fallback teardown's outcome is written into
  it instead of a side flag a caller could miss.
- The managed process drains stderr and keeps the 8 KiB tail, so no provider
  can forget to drain the pipe.
- Root-only providers take the default close policy and completion rule; only
  Claude overrides them. The one already-exited guard lives in the managed
  close and is recorded when no earlier close ran.
- A failed spawn is never read as an observed root exit.

* Report only observed descendant exits from the fallback teardown

The fallback teardown answered "accepted", and the close turned that into
`tree: 'exited'`, though a Windows tree kill's outcome is never read and an
unreadable process table observes nothing. It now returns what it observed:
`exited` only when the captured descendants were verified gone (or the kernel
reported the group empty), `live` / `unverifiable` as verification found them,
and null when it signalled without observing. Codex's process-tree diagnostic
fires in exactly the cases it did before.

* Give two test fixtures' casts a SAFETY rationale for the changed-code gate

* Claim no observation from an empty process group

ESRCH from the dedicated-group signal says only that the group is empty: a
descendant that left it, or a root that never led it, may still be running.
It now reports no observation instead of `exited`. The unreadable-table
comment says why that case stays "no observation" for root-only providers.

* fix(native-chat): a person's close joining a failed one still binds the turn its child end cuts

On main every close of the chat writes its own Stop and settle. Here a later close joins the
first and writes no row, and the first's settle closed when its kill failed, so a turn that opened
in between and was cut by the next close read as failed. A person's close joining a person's close
whose Stop opened a settle now reopens that settle until its attempt is done.

Tests: a close whose kill failed still closes its settle; a turn opened between a failed close and
the next reads as the person's cancellation (each fails without its half of the fix).

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity with the opaque handle

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle.

* test(ratchet): require src/main/provider-process now that it has landed

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 made the same fix as this branch at a different line; the merge kept both imports.

…registered agents, behind a negotiated capability (#25159)

* refactor(native-chat): keep the provider resume handle opaque to shared code

Shared structured-chat code parsed each provider's resume handle: Claude's
session id and branch leaf, Codex's thread id, through a 'claude' | 'codex'
union every new agent had to widen. The in-memory handle is now
{ transport, agent, nativeId, providerData? }: shared readers use nativeId,
lease and handle-chain checks compare transport and agent, and only the
Claude adapter reads its leaf (providerData).

Stored and wire forms are unchanged for Claude and Codex. One encoding
module writes their typed shapes and decodes both those and the neutral
shape a new transport uses, which an older build refuses as unreadable
rather than reading as Codex. Key and root strings, which fork seeds,
superseded creations and resume offers persist, stay byte-identical.

The journal's own handle type becomes the journal-row and attach-wire
encoding of the same handle, and the journal identity carries the
neutral handle (null before the provider proves one).

No user-visible change.

* fix(native-chat): derive journal-row provider handles from the journal identity

The journal row converter now takes the identity every caller already holds,
so a row's handle has one obvious constructor. Tests that wrote the in-memory
handle straight into journal rows now build it through that converter, and the
processless Claude fixture names a not-yet-proved handle as null.

* fix(native-chat): refuse a stored provider handle written in both forms

A typed Claude or Codex handle that also carries the neutral form's
transport, agent, native id or provider data named two identities; it
was read as Claude or Codex and the next write dropped the other one.
Such a row now stays unreadable and is set aside untouched.

* refactor(native-chat): route structured agents through registered definitions

The structured-chat shared layer named Claude and Codex in a closed router
type, in option reads, in frame classification, and in renderer label and
validation branches, so adding an agent meant editing shared types. Each
agent now has a definition (capabilities, resting option rules) owned by its
own module; the router is a registry of definition + adapter pairs built at
runtime setup, and shared code reads the definition instead of the name.

No behavior change for Claude or Codex; no wire or stored shape change.

* refactor(native-chat): name the structured agent list once in host types

The host types, conversation commands, provider-session ownership and the
runtime's create path spelled the structured agent list inline; they now use
the one shared type the record and wire already validate against.

* fix(native-chat): narrow the record before reading its agent's option rules

* refactor(native-chat): make the router's registrations the only agent definition lookup

The at-rest option reads looked definitions up in a second, separately populated map, so a
registered definition could route and declare capabilities while the static map decided which
options a chat at rest accepted. The router now answers `definition(agent)` from its
registrations, the at-rest readers take it through the host's adapter, and the built-in
definitions are listed only where the runtime composes the router.

* feat(native-chat): open the structured-chat wire and stored records to registered agents

A host's structured agents are the ones its runtime registered. Records, RPC
params, persisted tabs and the model catalog accept any registered agent instead
of naming Claude and Codex; each agent's definition declares the transport its
handles live in and the variable its account home pins. A new runtime
capability, agent-session.structured.registered-agents.v1, advertises that a
host accepts and lists its agents (agentSession.agents, with each agent's
capability record), and the host withholds any other agent's tabs and restart
offers from clients that do not advertise it.

* test(native-chat): cover registered agents on the wire, in storage and across versions

* refactor(native-chat): let the record store decide which agents' tabs exist

* test(native-chat): declare the pilot test agent's storage

* test(native-chat): read the old build's saved tabs through a parsed shape

* fix(native-chat): act on restart offers only for agents the calling client can show

A paired client too old to show an agent's chat was listed only the offers it could show, but
dismissing or continuing all reached every offer on the host, and a named continuation answered
with the host's whole remaining inventory. The client's audience now goes to the host with every
restart operation: only offers it sees are reserved, dismissed or returned. Without an audience
(this host's own process, or a client that shows every agent) nothing changes.

* test(native-chat): read an agent-registering baseline's storage on its own terms

The registered-agents downgrade test assumed its baseline release predates registered agents: it
expected the saved-tab parser to erase an unknown agent and called the record reader without the
agents list. Once a release with this change becomes the baseline, both break. The expectations now
follow what the baseline host advertises, and an agent-registering baseline is handed its own
Claude and Codex storage.

* refactor(native-chat): derive record-store admission from the runtime's agent registrations

Which agents a stored record may name and which agents the router drives came from two lists in
the runtime, so a newly registered agent could be routed while its records were set aside. One
list of registrations now holds each agent's definition and the factory for its adapter: the
store's admitted agents are derived from it before the store opens, and the adapters are built
from it once it has.

* fix(native-chat): hand the exit drain a promise for every registered agent

* fix(native-chat): let the adoption conflict check read any agent's ownership

Ownership rows name any registered agent since the stored records opened to them; the adoption
check compares by agent, so it takes the same open id. Only Claude and Codex still adopt.

* test(native-chat): use opaque handle in queued rejection fixture

* test(native-chat): share one Codex journal identity in the integration suite

Main grew the suite to the 800-line limit; the opaque-handle import pushed it
over. The two tests built the same identity inline.

* refactor(agent-session): name the handle's adapter state resumeCursor

Rename the neutral provider handle's providerData to resumeCursor before any
row persists the neutral form: it is an adapter-owned resume position (Claude's
transcript leaf), never identity. Claude/Codex stored and wire bytes are
unchanged; their typed shapes never carried the field.

State the stored-form contract (a handle's field set is closed; later per-link
data goes on the chain link, which every build preserves) and pin it with a
record round-trip test. Document that transport records the id space the
native id was minted in, which can differ from the agent's current transport.

* refactor(agent-session): one required agent registry; declarations admit what they claim

A StructuredAgentRegistry, built once from the {definition, adapter}
registrations, is now a required host dependency and the router routes with
it. The adapter interface loses its optional router-only capabilities?() and
definition?(); every reader (options at rest, thread goal, rewind, the
/compact handover) asks the registry. A live session still narrows rewind
through the adapter, and the host combines declared and narrowed in one
helper. The registry refuses a registration that declares compact, a thread
goal or rewind without the adapter method behind it.

/compact is admitted by the declared capability, so an agent that declares
compact:false gets the commandRefused fact instead of a thrown error.

Also: the cut-turn notice names the agent from the catalog, create-support
builds the account home through agentSessionAccountHome, and the turn
status text older clients read names the session's agent instead of
defaulting to Codex (Claude/Codex text unchanged).

* refactor(agent-session): the router applies the declared rewind itself

The router holds the registry, so its rewindSupport answers the owner's
declared rewind narrowed by the adapter, in one place no reader can bypass.
The host-side combining helper is gone; readers ask the adapter they hold.

* test(agent-session): register the agents the merged-in tests now need

The adoption replay test builds its host over this build's registered agents
instead of an adapter definition method, and the stored-form test passes the
stored agents the record guard now requires.

* chore(agent-session): the registry is the one lookup; drop the test-only empty capability record

* fix(agent-session): keep "dismiss all" restart offers dismissed for the desktop

The desktop renderer calls the restart methods as a paired runtime client
without the registered-agents capability, so it was handed a Claude/Codex
audience and its "dismiss all" took the scoped path: no dismissal fence and
no clearing of unwritten teardown witnesses, so a late teardown write could
bring a dismissed offer back.

The audience is now derived against this host's registry: a client that can
show every agent the host registered gets none, and dismisses exactly as
before (one fence for every offer). A client that truly cannot show some
agent still gets a final dismissal for what it sees: each cleared session is
fenced on its own (bounded, superseded by a dismiss-all fence) and only the
witnesses of agents it sees are dropped.

One predicate now answers which agents a client renders, for both tab
projection and restart offers; the Claude capability rule is folded in.

* fix(agent-session): a changed agent definition never hides that agent's chats

A record was readable only if every handle used the transport its agent's
definition declares today, and its account variable was declared by some
registered agent. A later build that drives the same agent over another
protocol, or under a renamed variable, would have set every existing chat of
that agent aside: no tab, no history, no error.

Readability now asks only that the record agree with itself: its agent is
registered, every handle shares one namespace owned by that agent, and the
account variable is a well-formed name. Whether this build can drive it (the
chain's transport is the one the agent speaks, and the account variable is
that agent's own, since it becomes the child's environment) is decided in
performAttach, the one admission every start of every agent passes through,
and refused there as hostUnsupported. A record pinning another agent's
variable is refused the same way rather than passing because some agent
declares it.

* refactor(agent-session): each agent's registration says where it runs and which account it pins

createSupport, create and the model catalog's account read still chose a
location rule and an account resolver by name (Claude, Codex, else none),
so a new agent would have needed a third branch beside the registration
list that already decides storage, routing and publication.

Each runtime registration now carries supportsLocation(location) and
resolveAccountHomePath({ launchEnv, location, purpose, workspacePath }),
and Claude's and Codex's rules move into their entries unchanged: a read
still syncs no home and starts no bridge, a Codex launch still trusts the
workspace first, and WSL locations resolve as before. The list exists
before the host is built, so none of these reads installs the host, and an
agent the list does not hold is answered no without opening the journal.

* test(agent-session): drop a duplicate registry key; keep fences out of the capsule state

A spread input already carries the registry, so the explicit key was
overwritten (TS2783). The session-fence helper now returns only the fence,
not the capsule state it was given.

* fix(agent-session): a scoped dismiss-all persists no per-session fence

The per-session dismissal fence added a forever-persisted capsule field
with an arbitrary cap that served no caller: only the local desktop calls
the restart methods, and on a host whose agents it all shows it gets no
audience and takes the unscoped, fenced dismissal. A scoped dismiss-all
(a caller that cannot show some registered agent) keeps that agent's
offers, clears only its audience's unwritten witnesses, and writes no
fence; a late write from this process is serialized behind it. The field
never left this unreleased branch.

* fix(agent-session): refuse an attach whose agent is not the session's own

The start check judges the record's agent while the router starts the adapter of params.agent, and the attach wire let the two differ. Admission now refuses agent !== provider as requestMalformed, so the agent checked is the agent started. Every host-built attach already sets them equal.

* fix(agent-session): offer to start a chat only when the start would accept it

The restart offer, a failure's retryable flag and the pre-send check asked only whether the adapter runs the chat's location, while the start also refuses a record this build cannot drive; such a chat was offered Resume and its Retry failed forever. One host predicate, hostCanStartRecord (location support and agentDrivesSession), now answers all four; adapterSupportsRecord stays the reader gate, and an undrivable chat's offer is kept, not retired.

* fix(agent-session): the model-catalog probe uses a record's account only if this build drives it

A record-scoped catalog read started the agent's lister under the record's account path whatever variable the record pinned. It now uses that path only when agentDrivesSession holds, and otherwise resolves the account as for a read with no record.

* refactor(agent-session): the record store admits agent ids; comments say where transport is checked

The store only ever asked whether an agent is registered, so its admission list is now the registered ids; the definition is the one home of an agent's transport and account variable. Comments that said the record store checks transport, and one that cited a nonexistent function, now point at agentDrivesSession and the attach admission. The isPersistedAgentSessionRecord(value, agents) call shape and the test fixture the cross-version probe imports are kept.

* docs(agent-session): the record store admits the registered agents' ids

* test(native-chat): dismiss-all through a remote client's audience keeps a newer Orca's offer

Uses an audience production sends (one that cannot show every agent), per review.

* chore(native-chat): keep the record store and recovery capsule under max-lines after the main merge

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity and turn context the current way

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle; the turn context also needs this branch's agent registry.

* test(ratchet): require src/main/provider-process now that it has landed

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 and this branch both added the import at different lines; the merge kept both.

* Keep saved chats readable without provider registration

* Keep stored-record compatibility checks independent of registration

* Keep saved providers in restart client audiences

* test(native-chat): type reveal fixtures without assertions

* test(wire): expose known agents in structured host fixture

* Supply startability dependency in the new Codex catalog fixture

* Leave a stopped turn's running tools to the agent's own end

When another writer settles the open turn (a person's Stop), the assembler
now only stops that turn's text and cancels its pending prompts. Running tool
calls stay the agent's: a progress update or completion it reports after the
Stop lands as reported, and whatever is still running settles at the agent's
turn end for that turn, the next turn's open, or the session's end.

An agent's end for an earlier turn while a newer one is open no longer clears
the open turn's activity line or ends its anonymous reply. An unnamed end right
after a Stop ends the stopped turn instead of being dropped. The test rig's
restart no longer writes the dead assembler's window text, matching dispose.

* Pin that a stopped turn's running tools hold budget until the agent's end

* Type the stopped turn's tool progress update as a tool body

* List every event the assembler hands to the decision step

The type-aware lint requires an exhaustive switch with no default case.
Also retitle a Stop test to say what it asserts.

* End a running call as its turn's journal row ends

A call still running when its turn ends takes the state of that turn's
row: a row another writer settled first (a person's Stop) stands, so its
calls read interrupted whatever the provider's later end reports. The
no-ending path that settled calls from the Stop row is gone, since a Stop
now leaves running calls to the provider. Adds the two Spanish strings.

* Say why a Grok turn failed, and keep task rows in Grok's own words

A failed Grok turn ended with no reason on screen: the translator dropped
every copy of Grok's message. The failed turn now gets one status row in
Orca's existing "provider did not accept this message" words with Grok's
reason, read from whichever copy arrives first (the given-up retry, the
turn's end, the prompt's completion notice, or the prompt's error answer);
later copies only fill a reason the row still lacks.

A running background command no longer reads "Background task <id>
started": a task's summary is mapped only once it has settled. A monitor
stays a monitor when the agent reads its output: a frame that names no
kind keeps the known one, and a "[monitor" command is a monitor.

A prompt's turn is marked started, so a late frame for an ended prompt
neither reopens it nor becomes the active turn. A tool's turn is held in
one place at a time.

* Read a monitor from Grok's exact output prefix

* Word a failed Grok turn in Grok's own text, not as a refused message

A turn that started and then failed was told "The provider did not accept
this message", Orca's sentence for a message refused before its turn. The
row now reads as a Codex turn-ending error does: an error status row with the
provider's own words. With no words, the dialect names the failure ("Grok
ended this turn with an error." / "Grok usage limit reached."), else the
agent's display name does.

* Settle a stopped turn's running call as its turn row ended after a restart too

The restart sweep ended every running call by the death evidence alone, so after
a person's Stop with no proof the child died the call read failed under a turn
that read interrupted. The sweep and the live dead-generation settlement now ask
the same rule the assembler does: a call in a turn already settled ends as that
row ended; only a turn still running leaves its calls to the evidence.

* Keep the dead-generation settlement under the line cap

* Register the ACP schema verify step in the PR preflight phase test

* refactor(agent-session): one required agent registry; declarations admit what they claim

A StructuredAgentRegistry, built once from the {definition, adapter}
registrations, is now a required host dependency and the router routes with
it. The adapter interface loses its optional router-only capabilities?() and
definition?(); every reader (options at rest, thread goal, rewind, the
/compact handover) asks the registry. A live session still narrows rewind
through the adapter, and the host combines declared and narrowed in one
helper. The registry refuses a registration that declares compact, a thread
goal or rewind without the adapter method behind it.

/compact is admitted by the declared capability, so an agent that declares
compact:false gets the commandRefused fact instead of a thrown error.

Also: the cut-turn notice names the agent from the catalog, create-support
builds the account home through agentSessionAccountHome, and the turn
status text older clients read names the session's agent instead of
defaulting to Codex (Claude/Codex text unchanged).

* Read ACP permissions, session events and prompt errors through the protocol client's own types

The translator now reads a permission request with the client's lenient reader, a session update
with its session-event reader, and takes only the agent's own error answer as a failed prompt's
reason, so an Orca-side error never reads as the provider's words. Tests cover protocol values
newer than this build.

* refactor(agent-session): the router applies the declared rewind itself

The router holds the registry, so its rewindSupport answers the owner's
declared rewind narrowed by the adapter, in one place no reader can bypass.
The host-side combining helper is gone; readers ask the adapter they hold.

* test(agent-session): register the agents the merged-in tests now need

The adoption replay test builds its host over this build's registered agents
instead of an adapter definition method, and the stored-form test passes the
stored agents the record guard now requires.

* chore(agent-session): the registry is the one lookup; drop the test-only empty capability record

* fix(agent-session): keep "dismiss all" restart offers dismissed for the desktop

The desktop renderer calls the restart methods as a paired runtime client
without the registered-agents capability, so it was handed a Claude/Codex
audience and its "dismiss all" took the scoped path: no dismissal fence and
no clearing of unwritten teardown witnesses, so a late teardown write could
bring a dismissed offer back.

The audience is now derived against this host's registry: a client that can
show every agent the host registered gets none, and dismisses exactly as
before (one fence for every offer). A client that truly cannot show some
agent still gets a final dismissal for what it sees: each cleared session is
fenced on its own (bounded, superseded by a dismiss-all fence) and only the
witnesses of agents it sees are dropped.

One predicate now answers which agents a client renders, for both tab
projection and restart offers; the Claude capability rule is folded in.

* fix(agent-session): a changed agent definition never hides that agent's chats

A record was readable only if every handle used the transport its agent's
definition declares today, and its account variable was declared by some
registered agent. A later build that drives the same agent over another
protocol, or under a renamed variable, would have set every existing chat of
that agent aside: no tab, no history, no error.

Readability now asks only that the record agree with itself: its agent is
registered, every handle shares one namespace owned by that agent, and the
account variable is a well-formed name. Whether this build can drive it (the
chain's transport is the one the agent speaks, and the account variable is
that agent's own, since it becomes the child's environment) is decided in
performAttach, the one admission every start of every agent passes through,
and refused there as hostUnsupported. A record pinning another agent's
variable is refused the same way rather than passing because some agent
declares it.

* refactor(agent-session): each agent's registration says where it runs and which account it pins

createSupport, create and the model catalog's account read still chose a
location rule and an account resolver by name (Claude, Codex, else none),
so a new agent would have needed a third branch beside the registration
list that already decides storage, routing and publication.

Each runtime registration now carries supportsLocation(location) and
resolveAccountHomePath({ launchEnv, location, purpose, workspacePath }),
and Claude's and Codex's rules move into their entries unchanged: a read
still syncs no home and starts no bridge, a Codex launch still trusts the
workspace first, and WSL locations resolve as before. The list exists
before the host is built, so none of these reads installs the host, and an
agent the list does not hold is answered no without opening the journal.

* test(agent-session): drop a duplicate registry key; keep fences out of the capsule state

A spread input already carries the registry, so the explicit key was
overwritten (TS2783). The session-fence helper now returns only the fence,
not the capsule state it was given.

* fix(agent-session): a scoped dismiss-all persists no per-session fence

The per-session dismissal fence added a forever-persisted capsule field
with an arbitrary cap that served no caller: only the local desktop calls
the restart methods, and on a host whose agents it all shows it gets no
audience and takes the unscoped, fenced dismissal. A scoped dismiss-all
(a caller that cannot show some registered agent) keeps that agent's
offers, clears only its audience's unwritten witnesses, and writes no
fence; a late write from this process is serialized behind it. The field
never left this unreleased branch.

* fix(agent-session): refuse an attach whose agent is not the session's own

The start check judges the record's agent while the router starts the adapter of params.agent, and the attach wire let the two differ. Admission now refuses agent !== provider as requestMalformed, so the agent checked is the agent started. Every host-built attach already sets them equal.

* fix(agent-session): offer to start a chat only when the start would accept it

The restart offer, a failure's retryable flag and the pre-send check asked only whether the adapter runs the chat's location, while the start also refuses a record this build cannot drive; such a chat was offered Resume and its Retry failed forever. One host predicate, hostCanStartRecord (location support and agentDrivesSession), now answers all four; adapterSupportsRecord stays the reader gate, and an undrivable chat's offer is kept, not retired.

* fix(agent-session): the model-catalog probe uses a record's account only if this build drives it

A record-scoped catalog read started the agent's lister under the record's account path whatever variable the record pinned. It now uses that path only when agentDrivesSession holds, and otherwise resolves the account as for a read with no record.

* refactor(agent-session): the record store admits agent ids; comments say where transport is checked

The store only ever asked whether an agent is registered, so its admission list is now the registered ids; the definition is the one home of an agent's transport and account variable. Comments that said the record store checks transport, and one that cited a nonexistent function, now point at agentDrivesSession and the attach admission. The isPersistedAgentSessionRecord(value, agents) call shape and the test fixture the cross-version probe imports are kept.

* docs(agent-session): the record store admits the registered agents' ids

* refactor(native-chat): Grok's registration declares where it runs; ACP no longer borrows Codex's location rule

The rule a self-supervised agent child runs under (this machine, no WSL, Windows only with process
start-time proof) is its own module that Codex and the ACP adapter both use. Grok's registration
takes the full account-home resolver signature, and D3's tests build hosts with the agent registry.

* fix(native-chat): Grok follows the ACP runtime's request contract and the managed process's close

A request the agent or a Stop cancels is answered with the agent's own cancelled reply by the code that
owns it (the runtime no longer answers a silent handler), so a Stop needs no separate decline pass. A
permission answer still being saved when the agent stopped waiting is reported unconfirmed, since the
protocol already answered it cancelled. Cancelling the agent's own turn is the plain cancel. Request
rows are matched under their generation-scoped ids. A refusal's reason comes from the dialect's wording
path. The child drops its own stderr tail and close policy for the managed process's, and a close
whose process tree was not proven gone is reported as the adapter contract asks.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok chat Orca already holds resumes without writing what Grok replays

A chat with a saved Grok session reattaches with session/resume where the agent offers it, else
session/load. Either way the call runs inside the translator's load window, so what Grok sends while
it reattaches (its saved exchange, a task the dead process left running, ended by the restart) opens
no turn and writes no row; only context usage reads on. A reply an Orca or Grok crash cut short is no
longer completed from Grok's saved history: it reads like a Claude or Codex chat's, with the existing
notice. The attach window also closes after a failed attach, and a created session that session/resume
reports missing is replaced like one session/load reports missing.

The replay reconciliation is removed: the lane no longer reads the journal, and D3's replayed-input
grammar test and completed-turn check in the assembler go with it.

* refactor(native-chat): a failed Grok reattach needs no window close of its own; its lane is replaced

* test(native-chat): D3's merged tests use the shipped declarations and the launch options main requires

* fix(native-chat): typecheck fallout of the base merges; any agent's empty chat is reusable

Main's idle-empty-chat lookup and launch join now take any registered agent, as the rest of the
launch path does. The refusal check moved into the prompt turns and the prompt-block conversion beside
the turns that send it, keeping both files in their line limit.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok Stop ends the process once Grok settles its turn; the next send resumes

Grok's session/cancel ends only the running turn: work it already moved to the background keeps
running and can begin a turn of its own after the person pressed Stop. Stop is now a session
boundary, as it is for Claude: the cancel answers open requests and lets Grok end the turn, the host
waits a bounded grace for that, then ends the process; the next send relaunches and resumes.
The adapter's own bounded close of a turn Grok began is gone. Its named-turn check stays: the host
ends the session unless the provider declines a Stop naming a turn that has since ended.

* test(native-chat): a Grok Stop ends the process only after Grok answered the cancel

* fix(native-chat): Steer on a Grok card cancels the running prompt, then sends it

A send that reached Grok while a prompt ran was held in the adapter until that turn ended: Steer
on a queued card took the card out of the host's editable queue and meant 'send after this turn'.
It now cancels the running prompt (session/cancel; the session stays) and sends as the next prompt
once Grok answers the cancel, as the common pattern does; a steer behind another cancels it in
turn, so the last one runs. The adapter holds a send only while that cancel lands, so its general
held-send queue and its holdsDispatch report are gone (every send it holds has its turn open in
the journal). An older client's mid-turn send takes the same path. capabilities.steering is
unchanged and still unread.

* refactor(native-chat): a close or Stop cancels a start through the acquire's own abort signal

The host owns the acquire it runs, so it now owns its cancellation: each attach's acquire gets an
AbortSignal, aborted from outside the session's queue by a close and by a Stop admitted now (the
same admission rule as before). The optional abandonStart adapter hook, the router's fan-out to
every adapter and the ACP adapter's session-keyed start map are gone; the ACP adapter keeps an
unkeyed set of starts only so quit can prove their children gone, and keeps a failed start's
unproven child until its exit is proven.
The hook also let a later close ask that child again. The host now does that from state it holds:
a close of a chat with no live child whose record still names an owner process with no death
evidence asks the adapter to release it. The answer is not recorded as proof (the lease probe
does that), so an owner pid an earlier Orca left is never killed or marked gone. Claude and Codex
ignore the signal and hold no such child; their release is a no-op (tested).

* fix(native-chat): a Grok crash that closes stdout before its exit still ends with Grok's last words

On macOS and Linux the agent's stdout ends before its exit is observed, with or without the
supervisor's EOF forwarding, so the connection's loss closed the journal first and its error text
became the session's ended reason, dropping Grok's stderr. The reason is now read at the proven
exit: the agent's last words when it left any, else why the connection closed. The failure already
carried them. Comments that assumed the exit comes first, that early frames past the cap refuse the
start, and that dispatch re-checks image support are corrected.

* fix(native-chat): nothing Grok sends while a held chat reattaches is written, marked as replay or not

The reattach window relied on the dialect's replay verdict, and Grok's frames read as live unless
they carry isReplay, so an unmarked chat frame during session/resume opened a turn that never
ended. D3 now marks every frame inside the window as replay before the translator reads it, so the
translator keeps only context usage whatever the agent marked; options and commands are still
adopted. The translator's load semantics are unchanged.

* test(native-chat): a Stop after a resume finds no turn an unmarked old reply opened

* test(native-chat): a resumed Grok chat keeps its last context reading; the resume refreshes only the window

* test(native-chat): a Grok background task a Stop ended reads as stopped reporting

* refactor(native-chat): quit's stop of each start answers through one promise kind

* fix(native-chat): quit aborts every start the host has in flight before draining attaches

A Grok that never answered its handshake held quit until the start's own 60 s bound, past the
20 s quit deadline. The host's teardown now aborts each in-flight acquire (and any the drain
still begins), so the adapter's own quit controller and its map of starts are gone: a start
has one canceller, the host's signal.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok start's abort stops reaching its child once the start has returned

The listener stayed on the host's signal until the attach finished committing, so a Close in that
window killed the now-live child behind the host's back and it read as Grok crashing. The start
now detaches it when it ends; a later Close goes through the session's own stop.

* fix(native-chat): a close or Stop during any attach phase stops the start before it launches

The attach began its abort controller only after reconciling leases, resolving recovery and
probing the previous owner, so a close or admitted Stop in those phases reached nothing and Grok
launched anyway. The controller now begins first, and the acquisition checks it before asking the
adapter to start.

* test(native-chat): a close during the attach's owner probe asks no adapter to start

Also renames the close test after the hook it no longer exercises.

* test(native-chat): a close's re-ask closes a Claude or Codex child a failed cleanup left

The re-ask is not a no-op for them: when the adapter still holds the child its cleanup could not
prove gone, the close stops it again as a requested close, and Claude persists the handle of the
conversation it ran so the next send resumes it. Corrects the tests' and comment's wording; the
close awaits the re-ask, bounded by each adapter's kill ladder.

* fix(native-chat): Steer during a turn Grok began itself cancels it and sends once it ends

A send while Grok ran a turn of its own (a background task waking it) went straight to Grok, which
queued it behind that turn where Orca could no longer withdraw it, while Stop treated the same turn
as the running reply. The send now waits as a steer, the turn is cancelled once, and the message
goes when the turn ends; a Stop withdraws it and an exit rejects it as never sent.

* test(native-chat): a steer whose cancel Grok never answers ends Grok and is rejected as never sent

Pins the bounded steer cancel kept from the runtime: past the bound the connection closes, the
running reply reads unverifiable, Grok's end reads as its exit, and the waiting steer is rejected
as never sent.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok crash stays a crash when a stop lands before its exit is proven

After the connection broke and the close could not prove Grok's exit, any later stop Orca asked
for (the next start, a Stop, a Close) marked the child as closed by Orca, so the crash read as a
requested close and Grok's last words were dropped; a send meanwhile was recorded unconfirmed.
The connection loss now decides the cause, and a send on that session is rejected as never sent.

* test(native-chat): fixtures this PR's registered Grok and desktop capability made stale

CI's unit shards failed on tests outside the PR's own lists. Each encodes something this PR changes
on purpose: Grok is now a registered agent (the seam test's unregistered agent is now Cursor); the
desktop now advertises registered agents (the restart-offer tests' older client drops that
capability explicitly); the attach context carries the start's abort controllers (the forget-status
double gains them); and the ACP real-host test rig sends to the host directly (listed beside the
other real-host rig in the send ratchet).

* fix(native-chat): a start quit stops is not the queued message's start failure

With quit now aborting a start it would have waited for, the delivery step recorded the aborted
start as the message's failure ("couldn't restart"). After quit has stopped delivery, the step
leaves the message to quit, which settles it as a close does ("The chat closed before this message
was sent."). The test that pinned quit waiting for that start and stopping its child now pins that
nothing is launched behind quit.

* fix(native-chat): a message sent after a Stop or close aborted a start gets its own start

A start the host aborts (an admitted Stop, a close, or quit) returned its refusal to the delivery
loop, which then rejected whatever was queued at that moment with "couldn't restart", including a
message the user sent after the Stop. The attach now reports that the host aborted it, and the loop
re-derives from the journal instead: what the Stop or close withdrew is already settled, a message
accepted since gets a start of its own, and quit's next step stops the loop. This replaces the
quit-only carve-out with the same rule for every abort and every agent.

* test(native-chat): the message sent after an aborted start is answered, so no settlement outlives the test

* fix(native-chat): a Grok model pick Grok never answers no longer holds Stop or Close

The pick runs on the session's queue. It now registers in the host's out-of-queue
abort registry beside a start, so a close, an admitted Stop or quit abandons it, and
the ACP adapter bounds it at 30 s like Claude and Codex. A late answer is still adopted.

* fix(agent-launch): a phone's launch opens a terminal for an agent whose chat it cannot show

agent.launch now reads the caller's capabilities by the rule tabs and restart offers
use (clientRendersStructuredAgent). A phone without registered-agents.v1 gets Grok as
a terminal again, as on main; the host's own callers and desktop clients are unchanged.

* fix(acp): strip every agent hook variable from the ACP child, from the shared list

ACP_CHILD_ENV_TO_DELETE was a second copy of the hook runtime keys that missed
ORCA_AGENT_HOOK_TRANSPORT; it now spreads AGENT_HOOK_RUNTIME_ENV_KEYS beside the pane
identity keys.

* refactor(native-chat): the mutation context carries the provider-wait registry itself

Keeps the host file within its line limit; one field instead of two closures over it.

* fix(agent-launch): agent.launch.v2 still vouches for Claude and Codex chats

The caller rule from the previous commit also turned Claude and Codex into terminals
for a client advertising only agent.launch.v2, whose contract says it opens a chat
(mobile retry-authority tests). Only an agent beyond those two now needs the client to
read it (clientRendersStructuredAgent); the test fixtures go back to what they were.

* refactor(native-chat): drop saved-history adoption from the timeline assembler

The common pattern discards the history a provider replays while loading a
session, so the assembler has no use for an input.history event.

* refactor(acp): drop session/load history adoption from the translator

The common pattern discards the history an agent replays during session/load,
keeping only what it says about the context window. Remove the adoption path
(acp-history-adoption.ts, the adopt option, and the historical background-task
liveness rewrite it fed) so load replay is always dropped except usage.

* refactor(native-chat): a pending input is only Orca's send now

Review follow-up to the adoption removal: drop the comment naming the
provider's saved message, and make requestedAt required since every pending
input comes from input.accepted.

* test(acp): keep the task-result status table on live frames

Review follow-up to the adoption removal: the result-status mapping was only
tested through adopted history, so run the same table on live frames, and
cover an unmarked task notice during a load being dropped.

* test(acp): a frame helper for a shell command Grok is running

* fix(acp): a Grok crash settles through the host's provider-exit batch, scoped to the turn it ended

A Grok crash ended the journal unverifiable before the adapter reported the exit, so the host's
provider-exit settlement found no running turn and wrote nothing: the adapter's failure (with
Grok's last words) never reached the journal, and a later stale-session pass wrote a bare,
thread-scoped cut-short row, so the partial reply was not folded as Claude's and Codex's are.

At a proven exit the ACP lane now ends its running turn interrupted at the exit instant, as the
host's exit contract expects of a child's own translator (Codex's does the same). When Grok's
stdout closed first (every POSIX crash), the turn is unverifiable only until the exit is proven:
the host's provider-exit settlement now takes the exit as proof naming the child's fence and
revises what that child left unverifiable in the same batch, with the turn-scoped row and the
adapter's failure. Claude and Codex write no unverifiable turn of a live child except a command
whose hand-off is in doubt; that turn is now revised at the exit instead of at the next open.

* test(acp): a crash seen first leaves the host no Grok turn to revise

* refactor(native-chat): what a gone generation left unfinished gets its own module

The settlement file passed 300 lines with the exit-proof revision. The unfinished-work reads
(capture, interrupted-by-the-exit, in-progress) are their own concept and move out unchanged,
apart from the exit proof they now take.

* refactor(native-chat): a watched exit revises what its child left unverifiable without reading Stop marks

An exit's own instant is the turn's end, so the revision needs only each row's fence: the
settlement's journal type gains itemFence alone, and the host test fakes say so.

* test(native-chat): drop the duplicate itemFence on the fake that already had one

* test(claude, codex): an exit whose stdout ended first still reports as it always did

The provider supervisor now ends Orca's stdout when the agent's ends, so on every crash EOF
arrives before the exit is seen. Claude's and Codex's connections report nothing at EOF and
report the exit, with its usual reason, once it is seen.

* fix(acp): reopen a chat with session/load, as the common pattern does

An agent that offers both now reloads its session instead of resuming it; the
reattach window still discards what it replays except context usage.

* fix(acp): drop the 60 s handshake bound; an abort fails the start's waits at once

Neither common design bounds an ACP handshake: Close, Stop and quit end a start
that never answers. The abort now also closes the connection, as a kill there
does, so the start settles even before the child's exit is proven. The
host-stopped start refusal only this bound produced goes with it; the idle
sweep keeps its words.

* fix(acp): a Stop naming an ended turn follows Claude's rule

It still stops nothing while another turn is live, but in the gap before a
follow-up's turn opens, which no client can name, it now stops what is in
flight and the session ends, as a Claude Stop does.

* fix(native-chat): a close no longer re-asks a failed start's unproven child

Neither common design retries that stop at Close, and Orca's Claude contract
re-asks only at the next start and at quit. The ACP adapter keeps the child
until its exit is proven and asks it again there, as Claude does.

* fix(acp): a message sent during a turn the agent began itself goes at once

Both common designs send it straight to the agent with no cancel; only Orca's
own running prompt is steered (cancelled, then re-prompted).

* test(native-chat): dismiss-all through a remote client's audience keeps a newer Orca's offer

Uses an audience production sends (one that cannot show every agent), per review.

* fix(acp): launch Grok as `grok agent stdio`, without the update and leader flags

The common pattern passes neither --no-auto-update, --no-leader nor
GROK_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER; full access still adds --always-approve.

* fix(acp): an agent that ends its stdout, or answers unreadably, is not a lost connection

As in the common pattern, only a broken stdin (or Orca's own close) ends the
agent; one that closed its output but can still be written to stays until a
Stop, a close or its exit. The provider supervisor goes back to its base
content, so Claude and Codex no longer get the forwarded stdout end either.

* fix(native-chat): a person's close joining a failed one still binds the turn its child end cuts

On main every close of the chat writes its own Stop and settle. Here a later close joins the
first and writes no row, and the first's settle closed when its kill failed, so a turn that opened
in between and was cut by the next close read as failed. A person's close joining a person's close
whose Stop opened a settle now reopens that settle until its attempt is done.

Tests: a close whose kill failed still closes its settle; a turn opened between a failed close and
the next reads as the person's cancellation (each fails without its half of the fix).

* test(native-chat): Grok opens as a chat only behind the structured-chat setting

agent.launch and orchestration worker-start read the same setting as the
renderer route; pin both states for Grok on each. The setting's description no
longer names only Codex and Claude, in every catalog.

* docs(acp): generic ACP comments say what holds for every agent, not Grok

Stop ends the session for every ACP agent, as in the common pattern; the
adoption hook comment goes (adoption is not planned); a failed start's child is
retried at the next start or quit.

* test(claude, codex): type the EOF-before-exit test's streams; the supervisor no longer forwards EOF

The Claude test wrote to the child's stdout and stderr through their Readable
type, which the node typecheck rejects; it now holds its own PassThrough
streams. The comments no longer credit the reverted supervisor change.

* feat(acp): a steer's cancel asks once and never ends the agent

The runtime had one cancel: send session/cancel, wait at most 10 s for Orca's prompt to settle,
then close the connection, which ends the agent. A steer used it too, so a slow agent lost its
process just because the person added a message. requestSteerCancel() now sends session/cancel
once per prompt, cancels the agent's open requests and answers later permissions cancelled, and
never bounds or closes: the prompt's own reply ends it and the steer's prompt follows. cancel()
stays the Stop: bounded, then close. A Stop after a steer still bounds and closes. Both cancel
paths move into acp-prompt-cancel.ts over one cancel channel.

* chore(native-chat): keep the record store and recovery capsule under max-lines after the main merge

* fix(acp): a repeated steer shares the cancel in flight; say what the caller owns

Per review: a second steer before the first write lands returns that write instead of resolving
early. The steer's JSDoc says the wait for the prompt's reply is unbounded and that a prompt that
fails instead must not take the steer until the caller rebuilds the session; the Stop's says a
prompt that settles in time leaves the agent for the Stop's owner to end. The steer test now gives
the runtime a handler that would allow: the open permission's signal aborts and the late one never
reaches it.

* fix(native-chat): drop the stopDelivery the A3 merge doubled

* fix(acp): a steer's cancel asks Grok once and never ends it

A steer now uses D1's notify-only cancel. Two messages sent during a reply Grok began itself
cut that reply, as the common pattern does, and then both run; before, the queued first
message could not answer the bounded cancel and Orca ended Grok although Grok answered.
A Stop keeps the bounded cancel and its 4 s grace.

* fix(acp): a permission Grok asks with no prompt of Orca's running is declined

During a turn Grok began itself nobody asked it to act, so the request is answered
cancelled at once instead of opening a card that waits, as the common pattern does.

* fix(acp): a Grok that dies while starting is reported with its own last words

A dying process's stdout ends before its exit is seen, so the start failed as a closed
connection and Grok's stderr was lost. A start whose connection closed now waits, bounded by
the Stop grace (or a Close/Stop), for the exit before it is told.

* test: a Stop after a steer sends its own cancel; drop the import the A3 merge doubled

* test(native-chat): main's Stop-note test builds its turn context with the agent registry

* test(claude): say why the close test's fake child cast is safe

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity and turn context the current way

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle; the turn context also needs this branch's agent registry.

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity with the opaque handle

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle.

* test(ratchet): require src/main/provider-process now that it has landed

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 and this branch both added the import at different lines; the merge kept both.

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 made the same fix as this branch at a different line; the merge kept both imports.

* feat(native-chat): record a fresh provider conversation that replaced one the agent could not restore

A chat whose saved conversation the agent cannot reopen can now continue in a
fresh one: the handle chain records the new conversation as a creation that
replaces the lost one (which, why, and when), keeping every earlier link.

Rows keep a shape older builds read: the stored chain starts at the latest
replacement and carries the earlier links inside it.

* test(native-chat): build this stack's journal identities with main's opaque provider handle

Main's #24991 replaced the {kind, ...} handle with {transport, agent, nativeId}; three test
files from this stack still wrote the old shape. Same lines the downstream ACP branch uses.

* docs(acp): every reattach drops the agent's replay, not only for a chat the journal holds

* refactor(native-chat): store a replaced conversation flat; refuse it where older builds read the row

Older builds only read Claude and Codex records, so the nested stored form
protected rows no replacement can reach while adding a cap mismatch after a
downgrade. Store the chain as held, refuse a replacement in a Claude or Codex
chain until one has a stored shape older builds read, and refuse a supersession
key on a replacement that names no creation in the chain.

* refactor(native-chat): read hosts' structured agents from the app-shell services

Main grew the startup hydration hook to its line limit; the host agents sync is an app-lifetime subscription like the structured session tabs sync beside it, so it moves there.

* Use current provider handles in transition tests

* Use current provider handles in timeline fixtures

* test(native-chat): prove replacement rows survive downgrade and re-upgrade

* Require the ACP directory in the runtime import check

* test(ratchet): require src/main/acp now that this PR lands it

* feat(acp): a saved session the agent cannot reopen continues in a new one, with one warning row

When session/load (or session/resume) of a saved ACP session fails, the chat starts a new session and records it as a creation that replaces the lost one (#25747's 'replaces' link), and writes one warning row that the agent no longer remembers the earlier messages. A created session the agent reports missing is still superseded silently; a signed-out agent or a start that is over (Close, Stop, a lost agent) still fails the start.

* chore(acp): rewrap the acquire header comment

* test(acp): a start closed while the agent reopens fails without opening or announcing a new session

* Let ACP connections own their supervised agent process

* Preserve ACP cleanup evidence and isolate exit observers

* Expose ACP cleanup observations and type the permission fixture

* refactor(native-chat): the registered-agents capability lives in its own module

Main's growth put protocol-version.ts one counted line over its 300-line limit once the capability
was added; like main's other per-feature capabilities, it now has its own module, and importers read
it from there.

* refactor(acp): one connection owns the Grok process and its protocol

D3 now opens each ACP agent through createAcpAgentConnection (ACP-ALIGN #25810): one object spawns the
process on the execution host, owns its stdio and protocol, and reports its proven exit. It is built and
tracked before the handshake, so a start's abort (Close, Stop, quit) still reaches it, and a failed start
keeps that same connection for the next close to retry rather than spawning another process.

Deleted: the spawnAcpStructuredChild wrapper and its test, the raw-stream runtime assembly, the caller's
exit -> runtime.close wiring, the stdout-EOF heuristic (the connection no longer treats stdout EOF as
exit), and the 10 s steer/Stop cancel bound with requestSteerCancel. Reader control maps to
pauseReading/resumeReading; a close is connection.close after the host's existing 4 s Stop grace.

The adapter owns what the protocol no longer does: one session/cancel per running prompt however many
steers arrive (cleared with that send's settlement, retried after a failed write), and a Stop or steer
answers every open agent request the person has not already answered with the agent's own cancelled
reply. An answer already being saved when the Stop lands is sent.

Tests: blocked cancel write never holds Stop's grace, two quick steers send one cancel, a failed cancel
write is retried, a real process exiting while a child holds its stdout ends the session, and the
existing start-abort, retention, crash, connection-loss and reload-failure suites on the new rig.

* fix(acp): Grok signs in on its own machine with its API key or cached sign-in

When Grok reports that it needs authentication, Orca now names a sign-in method on the machine Grok runs
on, read from the same environment Grok was launched with: xai.api_key when XAI_API_KEY is set there and
Grok offers that method, else cached_token when Grok offers it, else none and the chat keeps the existing
not-signed-in refusal. The rule lives in Grok's launch spec; the adapter applies any agent's rule for new
and reopened sessions through the protocol client's caller-named method (authenticate, then retry once).
No new sign-in UI; interactive methods are never chosen.

* fix(acp): the adapter decides which of Grok's requests reach the person

The turn owner now admits every agent request, permission or question, from its own turn state: a
request reaches the person only while Orca's prompt runs and no steer or Stop is cutting it short (a
question may also come from a turn Grok began itself, until a Stop). Anything else gets the agent's
own cancelled reply and opens no card, so a question arriving after Stop or during a steer never
appears. A steer, like a Stop, withdraws the requests already open; an answer already being saved is
still sent. The protocol client's abort-on-cancel path is no longer used: after the connection
change its request signal aborts only when the connection closes.

* fix(acp): a plan Grok proposes shows as a plan, with no approval card

When Grok leaves plan mode it asks the client to approve its plan (x.ai/exit_plan_mode). Orca showed a
blocking 'Approve plan / Request changes' card for it; the common pattern has no such gate. Now the
plan goes into the chat's existing Plan row (the plan-document status row Codex and ACP plan updates
already use) and the request is answered at once with 'abandoned' plus feedback telling Grok to stop and
wait for the person's feedback or a request to implement it in a later turn, so nothing is approved on
the person's behalf. Dialects gain settleRequest for requests answered without asking anyone.

* fix(orchestration): worker-start opens a Grok worker in a terminal, as before

With the structured chat setting on, worker-start decided 'structured' for Grok and then the structured
worker factory (Claude and Codex only) refused it, so the start failed; main opened a terminal Grok
worker. Worker-start now decides with no registered agents beyond Claude and Codex, so Grok gets a
terminal worker as before. agent.launch and the app's own launches still open Grok as a structured
chat. Temporary until structured workers take registered agents.

* fix(acp): a prompt answer Orca can't read ends the turn instead of hanging it

A session/prompt rejection that was not the agent's own error answer (an answer that fails Orca's
schema, or one too large to read) left the turn running: the next message became a steer with nothing
to cancel and was never sent or settled, and Stop waited its full grace. As in the common pattern, any
prompt failure now ends the turn as failed (a failed-turn row without words, since none are the
agent's) and settles the send, so the next message goes. Only a closed connection keeps the send
running, for the connection-loss path to settle.

* fix(acp): send Grok's prompt-identity extension only to agents that echo it

session/prompt carried _meta {promptId, requestId} for every ACP agent, though only Grok's dialect
echoes it (injectedPromptIdentity). Now only an agent whose dialect declares it gets the extension;
other ACP agents get a plain prompt.

* refactor(native-chat): the registered-agents capability lives in protocol-version again, as on main

This reverts 0ef6d21. That commit moved the capability to its own module only because main's
protocol-version.ts was then one counted line over its limit; main now defines it there itself within
the limit, and main's new restart test imports it from there. Main's test also reads the desktop's
capability list as an older client; on this branch the desktop advertises registered agents, so its
older client is that list without this one capability.

* test(acp): read the sign-in method with a schema, not a type assertion

* refactor(native-chat): composer transport and Stop control in their own modules

Main's rewind change (#19338) brought NativeChatStructuredSession.tsx and use-structured-agent-session.ts
to their line limits, leaving no room for this branch's image-acceptance and unpublished-Stop lines.
The composer's transport (sends, commands, options, image acceptance) moves to
use-native-chat-structured-composer-transport.ts, and whether Stop shows and what it does moves to
structured-agent-session-stop-control.ts. Behavior is unchanged; the runtime cast on the composer's
'local' | 'remote' is now a typed return.

* test(native-chat): read registered agents by id, as main's structuredAgentsReadBy now takes

Main's A3 squash changed structuredAgentsReadBy to take agent ids; this branch's test still passed
{ agent } objects (CI typecheck TS2322).

* fix(acp): a first reopen warns when Grok forgets a chat that exchanged turns

A Grok session the chat created was treated as one Grok never saved, so
when Grok reported it missing on the chat's first reopen, Orca swapped in
a fresh session silently, even after completed exchanges: the person saw
the old messages while Grok had forgotten them.

The launch now counts a created session as never saved only when the
chat's journal, read at the failed reopen, holds no turn of that Grok
session; anything else, an unreadable journal included, takes the normal
path: the fresh session is recorded as replacing the old one and the one
warning row is written.

* fix(acp): a start writes the warning row an earlier attach failure dropped

The row saying Grok forgot the chat was written only into the attach's
deferred sink, while the fresh session's link was saved earlier. An attach
failure, quit or crash in between dropped the row forever.

Every start now derives the owed rows: each conversation the chain says was
lost to a failed restore gets its row unless the chat's journal already holds
it. The row now names the lost conversation rather than the fresh session, so
a row an unused replacement wrote still counts after Grok supersedes it.

* fix(acp): a question during a turn the agent began itself gets its cancelled reply

A question or other card-opening request the agent sends while no prompt of
Orca's runs (a turn it began itself, as when a background task wakes it) now
gets the agent's own cancelled reply and opens no card, the same rule
permissions already follow there. Nobody is waiting on that turn. A plan the
agent shares in it is still shown.

* test(native-chat): import the unfinished-work capture from the module that owns it

Main's reasoning sweep test (#19221) imported it from the dead-generation settlement, which
this branch split it out of.

* refactor(native-chat): keep the session host within its line budget after main's Stop work

Main's #25949 left the host at exactly its 300-line budget, and this branch's acquire-abort wiring
adds one line. The reveal module now comes in as a namespace import, as the host already does for
its other helper modules, and the earlier reorder of two type imports is undone.

* test(codex): move the stdout-before-exit test into its own file

Main's connection test file is at its 800-line test budget, and this branch's exit-order test
pushed it over (CI lint, max-lines).

* fix(acp): cancel a running turn before a close, dispose or quit ends the agent

Closing a tab, disposing a session or quitting while an ACP agent's turn ran
killed the process without asking the agent to cancel first. A requested
close now does what a Stop does: withdraw the agent's open requests and held
steers, send session/cancel once, and wait for the turn to end, bounded by
the Stop's grace (4 s), before closing the process. A close that follows a
Stop sends no second cancel and waits only what is left of that Stop's grace.
An idle close, a lost connection and a sink-failure force close are
unchanged. The cancel-and-wait moves to acp-structured-stop.ts, shared by
Stop and close.

* test(codex): pass resolveLaunchArgs in the stopped-send-order test so typecheck passes

Main's typecheck fails here too: #25721 made resolveLaunchArgs required and
this test (#25051) predates it. Same line, same place as the open main fix
(#25977), so merging main after it lands is a no-op.

* test(native-chat): run the close-aborts-start test on the Node runtime, as its SQLite journal fixture requires

* refactor(native-chat): the Stop control reads the outbox itself, so the chat hook stays within its line limit

* Keep the session host under the line cap after main's two new delegates

Pass the lifetime's conversation opener to reveal directly; it is already passed unbound to the mutation context.
brennanb2025 added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 7, 2026
* refactor(native-chat): Grok's registration declares where it runs; ACP no longer borrows Codex's location rule

The rule a self-supervised agent child runs under (this machine, no WSL, Windows only with process
start-time proof) is its own module that Codex and the ACP adapter both use. Grok's registration
takes the full account-home resolver signature, and D3's tests build hosts with the agent registry.

* fix(native-chat): Grok follows the ACP runtime's request contract and the managed process's close

A request the agent or a Stop cancels is answered with the agent's own cancelled reply by the code that
owns it (the runtime no longer answers a silent handler), so a Stop needs no separate decline pass. A
permission answer still being saved when the agent stopped waiting is reported unconfirmed, since the
protocol already answered it cancelled. Cancelling the agent's own turn is the plain cancel. Request
rows are matched under their generation-scoped ids. A refusal's reason comes from the dialect's wording
path. The child drops its own stderr tail and close policy for the managed process's, and a close
whose process tree was not proven gone is reported as the adapter contract asks.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok chat Orca already holds resumes without writing what Grok replays

A chat with a saved Grok session reattaches with session/resume where the agent offers it, else
session/load. Either way the call runs inside the translator's load window, so what Grok sends while
it reattaches (its saved exchange, a task the dead process left running, ended by the restart) opens
no turn and writes no row; only context usage reads on. A reply an Orca or Grok crash cut short is no
longer completed from Grok's saved history: it reads like a Claude or Codex chat's, with the existing
notice. The attach window also closes after a failed attach, and a created session that session/resume
reports missing is replaced like one session/load reports missing.

The replay reconciliation is removed: the lane no longer reads the journal, and D3's replayed-input
grammar test and completed-turn check in the assembler go with it.

* refactor(native-chat): a failed Grok reattach needs no window close of its own; its lane is replaced

* test(native-chat): D3's merged tests use the shipped declarations and the launch options main requires

* fix(native-chat): typecheck fallout of the base merges; any agent's empty chat is reusable

Main's idle-empty-chat lookup and launch join now take any registered agent, as the rest of the
launch path does. The refusal check moved into the prompt turns and the prompt-block conversion beside
the turns that send it, keeping both files in their line limit.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok Stop ends the process once Grok settles its turn; the next send resumes

Grok's session/cancel ends only the running turn: work it already moved to the background keeps
running and can begin a turn of its own after the person pressed Stop. Stop is now a session
boundary, as it is for Claude: the cancel answers open requests and lets Grok end the turn, the host
waits a bounded grace for that, then ends the process; the next send relaunches and resumes.
The adapter's own bounded close of a turn Grok began is gone. Its named-turn check stays: the host
ends the session unless the provider declines a Stop naming a turn that has since ended.

* test(native-chat): a Grok Stop ends the process only after Grok answered the cancel

* fix(native-chat): Steer on a Grok card cancels the running prompt, then sends it

A send that reached Grok while a prompt ran was held in the adapter until that turn ended: Steer
on a queued card took the card out of the host's editable queue and meant 'send after this turn'.
It now cancels the running prompt (session/cancel; the session stays) and sends as the next prompt
once Grok answers the cancel, as the common pattern does; a steer behind another cancels it in
turn, so the last one runs. The adapter holds a send only while that cancel lands, so its general
held-send queue and its holdsDispatch report are gone (every send it holds has its turn open in
the journal). An older client's mid-turn send takes the same path. capabilities.steering is
unchanged and still unread.

* refactor(native-chat): a close or Stop cancels a start through the acquire's own abort signal

The host owns the acquire it runs, so it now owns its cancellation: each attach's acquire gets an
AbortSignal, aborted from outside the session's queue by a close and by a Stop admitted now (the
same admission rule as before). The optional abandonStart adapter hook, the router's fan-out to
every adapter and the ACP adapter's session-keyed start map are gone; the ACP adapter keeps an
unkeyed set of starts only so quit can prove their children gone, and keeps a failed start's
unproven child until its exit is proven.
The hook also let a later close ask that child again. The host now does that from state it holds:
a close of a chat with no live child whose record still names an owner process with no death
evidence asks the adapter to release it. The answer is not recorded as proof (the lease probe
does that), so an owner pid an earlier Orca left is never killed or marked gone. Claude and Codex
ignore the signal and hold no such child; their release is a no-op (tested).

* fix(native-chat): a Grok crash that closes stdout before its exit still ends with Grok's last words

On macOS and Linux the agent's stdout ends before its exit is observed, with or without the
supervisor's EOF forwarding, so the connection's loss closed the journal first and its error text
became the session's ended reason, dropping Grok's stderr. The reason is now read at the proven
exit: the agent's last words when it left any, else why the connection closed. The failure already
carried them. Comments that assumed the exit comes first, that early frames past the cap refuse the
start, and that dispatch re-checks image support are corrected.

* fix(native-chat): nothing Grok sends while a held chat reattaches is written, marked as replay or not

The reattach window relied on the dialect's replay verdict, and Grok's frames read as live unless
they carry isReplay, so an unmarked chat frame during session/resume opened a turn that never
ended. D3 now marks every frame inside the window as replay before the translator reads it, so the
translator keeps only context usage whatever the agent marked; options and commands are still
adopted. The translator's load semantics are unchanged.

* test(native-chat): a Stop after a resume finds no turn an unmarked old reply opened

* test(native-chat): a resumed Grok chat keeps its last context reading; the resume refreshes only the window

* test(native-chat): a Grok background task a Stop ended reads as stopped reporting

* refactor(native-chat): quit's stop of each start answers through one promise kind

* fix(native-chat): quit aborts every start the host has in flight before draining attaches

A Grok that never answered its handshake held quit until the start's own 60 s bound, past the
20 s quit deadline. The host's teardown now aborts each in-flight acquire (and any the drain
still begins), so the adapter's own quit controller and its map of starts are gone: a start
has one canceller, the host's signal.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok start's abort stops reaching its child once the start has returned

The listener stayed on the host's signal until the attach finished committing, so a Close in that
window killed the now-live child behind the host's back and it read as Grok crashing. The start
now detaches it when it ends; a later Close goes through the session's own stop.

* fix(native-chat): a close or Stop during any attach phase stops the start before it launches

The attach began its abort controller only after reconciling leases, resolving recovery and
probing the previous owner, so a close or admitted Stop in those phases reached nothing and Grok
launched anyway. The controller now begins first, and the acquisition checks it before asking the
adapter to start.

* test(native-chat): a close during the attach's owner probe asks no adapter to start

Also renames the close test after the hook it no longer exercises.

* test(native-chat): a close's re-ask closes a Claude or Codex child a failed cleanup left

The re-ask is not a no-op for them: when the adapter still holds the child its cleanup could not
prove gone, the close stops it again as a requested close, and Claude persists the handle of the
conversation it ran so the next send resumes it. Corrects the tests' and comment's wording; the
close awaits the re-ask, bounded by each adapter's kill ladder.

* fix(native-chat): Steer during a turn Grok began itself cancels it and sends once it ends

A send while Grok ran a turn of its own (a background task waking it) went straight to Grok, which
queued it behind that turn where Orca could no longer withdraw it, while Stop treated the same turn
as the running reply. The send now waits as a steer, the turn is cancelled once, and the message
goes when the turn ends; a Stop withdraws it and an exit rejects it as never sent.

* test(native-chat): a steer whose cancel Grok never answers ends Grok and is rejected as never sent

Pins the bounded steer cancel kept from the runtime: past the bound the connection closes, the
running reply reads unverifiable, Grok's end reads as its exit, and the waiting steer is rejected
as never sent.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok crash stays a crash when a stop lands before its exit is proven

After the connection broke and the close could not prove Grok's exit, any later stop Orca asked
for (the next start, a Stop, a Close) marked the child as closed by Orca, so the crash read as a
requested close and Grok's last words were dropped; a send meanwhile was recorded unconfirmed.
The connection loss now decides the cause, and a send on that session is rejected as never sent.

* test(native-chat): fixtures this PR's registered Grok and desktop capability made stale

CI's unit shards failed on tests outside the PR's own lists. Each encodes something this PR changes
on purpose: Grok is now a registered agent (the seam test's unregistered agent is now Cursor); the
desktop now advertises registered agents (the restart-offer tests' older client drops that
capability explicitly); the attach context carries the start's abort controllers (the forget-status
double gains them); and the ACP real-host test rig sends to the host directly (listed beside the
other real-host rig in the send ratchet).

* fix(native-chat): a start quit stops is not the queued message's start failure

With quit now aborting a start it would have waited for, the delivery step recorded the aborted
start as the message's failure ("couldn't restart"). After quit has stopped delivery, the step
leaves the message to quit, which settles it as a close does ("The chat closed before this message
was sent."). The test that pinned quit waiting for that start and stopping its child now pins that
nothing is launched behind quit.

* fix(native-chat): a message sent after a Stop or close aborted a start gets its own start

A start the host aborts (an admitted Stop, a close, or quit) returned its refusal to the delivery
loop, which then rejected whatever was queued at that moment with "couldn't restart", including a
message the user sent after the Stop. The attach now reports that the host aborted it, and the loop
re-derives from the journal instead: what the Stop or close withdrew is already settled, a message
accepted since gets a start of its own, and quit's next step stops the loop. This replaces the
quit-only carve-out with the same rule for every abort and every agent.

* test(native-chat): the message sent after an aborted start is answered, so no settlement outlives the test

* fix(native-chat): a Grok model pick Grok never answers no longer holds Stop or Close

The pick runs on the session's queue. It now registers in the host's out-of-queue
abort registry beside a start, so a close, an admitted Stop or quit abandons it, and
the ACP adapter bounds it at 30 s like Claude and Codex. A late answer is still adopted.

* fix(agent-launch): a phone's launch opens a terminal for an agent whose chat it cannot show

agent.launch now reads the caller's capabilities by the rule tabs and restart offers
use (clientRendersStructuredAgent). A phone without registered-agents.v1 gets Grok as
a terminal again, as on main; the host's own callers and desktop clients are unchanged.

* fix(acp): strip every agent hook variable from the ACP child, from the shared list

ACP_CHILD_ENV_TO_DELETE was a second copy of the hook runtime keys that missed
ORCA_AGENT_HOOK_TRANSPORT; it now spreads AGENT_HOOK_RUNTIME_ENV_KEYS beside the pane
identity keys.

* refactor(native-chat): the mutation context carries the provider-wait registry itself

Keeps the host file within its line limit; one field instead of two closures over it.

* fix(agent-launch): agent.launch.v2 still vouches for Claude and Codex chats

The caller rule from the previous commit also turned Claude and Codex into terminals
for a client advertising only agent.launch.v2, whose contract says it opens a chat
(mobile retry-authority tests). Only an agent beyond those two now needs the client to
read it (clientRendersStructuredAgent); the test fixtures go back to what they were.

* refactor(native-chat): drop saved-history adoption from the timeline assembler

The common pattern discards the history a provider replays while loading a
session, so the assembler has no use for an input.history event.

* refactor(acp): drop session/load history adoption from the translator

The common pattern discards the history an agent replays during session/load,
keeping only what it says about the context window. Remove the adoption path
(acp-history-adoption.ts, the adopt option, and the historical background-task
liveness rewrite it fed) so load replay is always dropped except usage.

* refactor(native-chat): a pending input is only Orca's send now

Review follow-up to the adoption removal: drop the comment naming the
provider's saved message, and make requestedAt required since every pending
input comes from input.accepted.

* test(acp): keep the task-result status table on live frames

Review follow-up to the adoption removal: the result-status mapping was only
tested through adopted history, so run the same table on live frames, and
cover an unmarked task notice during a load being dropped.

* test(acp): a frame helper for a shell command Grok is running

* fix(acp): a Grok crash settles through the host's provider-exit batch, scoped to the turn it ended

A Grok crash ended the journal unverifiable before the adapter reported the exit, so the host's
provider-exit settlement found no running turn and wrote nothing: the adapter's failure (with
Grok's last words) never reached the journal, and a later stale-session pass wrote a bare,
thread-scoped cut-short row, so the partial reply was not folded as Claude's and Codex's are.

At a proven exit the ACP lane now ends its running turn interrupted at the exit instant, as the
host's exit contract expects of a child's own translator (Codex's does the same). When Grok's
stdout closed first (every POSIX crash), the turn is unverifiable only until the exit is proven:
the host's provider-exit settlement now takes the exit as proof naming the child's fence and
revises what that child left unverifiable in the same batch, with the turn-scoped row and the
adapter's failure. Claude and Codex write no unverifiable turn of a live child except a command
whose hand-off is in doubt; that turn is now revised at the exit instead of at the next open.

* test(acp): a crash seen first leaves the host no Grok turn to revise

* refactor(native-chat): what a gone generation left unfinished gets its own module

The settlement file passed 300 lines with the exit-proof revision. The unfinished-work reads
(capture, interrupted-by-the-exit, in-progress) are their own concept and move out unchanged,
apart from the exit proof they now take.

* refactor(native-chat): a watched exit revises what its child left unverifiable without reading Stop marks

An exit's own instant is the turn's end, so the revision needs only each row's fence: the
settlement's journal type gains itemFence alone, and the host test fakes say so.

* test(native-chat): drop the duplicate itemFence on the fake that already had one

* test(claude, codex): an exit whose stdout ended first still reports as it always did

The provider supervisor now ends Orca's stdout when the agent's ends, so on every crash EOF
arrives before the exit is seen. Claude's and Codex's connections report nothing at EOF and
report the exit, with its usual reason, once it is seen.

* fix(acp): reopen a chat with session/load, as the common pattern does

An agent that offers both now reloads its session instead of resuming it; the
reattach window still discards what it replays except context usage.

* fix(acp): drop the 60 s handshake bound; an abort fails the start's waits at once

Neither common design bounds an ACP handshake: Close, Stop and quit end a start
that never answers. The abort now also closes the connection, as a kill there
does, so the start settles even before the child's exit is proven. The
host-stopped start refusal only this bound produced goes with it; the idle
sweep keeps its words.

* fix(acp): a Stop naming an ended turn follows Claude's rule

It still stops nothing while another turn is live, but in the gap before a
follow-up's turn opens, which no client can name, it now stops what is in
flight and the session ends, as a Claude Stop does.

* fix(native-chat): a close no longer re-asks a failed start's unproven child

Neither common design retries that stop at Close, and Orca's Claude contract
re-asks only at the next start and at quit. The ACP adapter keeps the child
until its exit is proven and asks it again there, as Claude does.

* fix(acp): a message sent during a turn the agent began itself goes at once

Both common designs send it straight to the agent with no cancel; only Orca's
own running prompt is steered (cancelled, then re-prompted).

* test(native-chat): dismiss-all through a remote client's audience keeps a newer Orca's offer

Uses an audience production sends (one that cannot show every agent), per review.

* fix(acp): launch Grok as `grok agent stdio`, without the update and leader flags

The common pattern passes neither --no-auto-update, --no-leader nor
GROK_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER; full access still adds --always-approve.

* fix(acp): an agent that ends its stdout, or answers unreadably, is not a lost connection

As in the common pattern, only a broken stdin (or Orca's own close) ends the
agent; one that closed its output but can still be written to stays until a
Stop, a close or its exit. The provider supervisor goes back to its base
content, so Claude and Codex no longer get the forwarded stdout end either.

* fix(native-chat): a person's close joining a failed one still binds the turn its child end cuts

On main every close of the chat writes its own Stop and settle. Here a later close joins the
first and writes no row, and the first's settle closed when its kill failed, so a turn that opened
in between and was cut by the next close read as failed. A person's close joining a person's close
whose Stop opened a settle now reopens that settle until its attempt is done.

Tests: a close whose kill failed still closes its settle; a turn opened between a failed close and
the next reads as the person's cancellation (each fails without its half of the fix).

* test(native-chat): Grok opens as a chat only behind the structured-chat setting

agent.launch and orchestration worker-start read the same setting as the
renderer route; pin both states for Grok on each. The setting's description no
longer names only Codex and Claude, in every catalog.

* docs(acp): generic ACP comments say what holds for every agent, not Grok

Stop ends the session for every ACP agent, as in the common pattern; the
adoption hook comment goes (adoption is not planned); a failed start's child is
retried at the next start or quit.

* test(claude, codex): type the EOF-before-exit test's streams; the supervisor no longer forwards EOF

The Claude test wrote to the child's stdout and stderr through their Readable
type, which the node typecheck rejects; it now holds its own PassThrough
streams. The comments no longer credit the reverted supervisor change.

* feat(acp): a steer's cancel asks once and never ends the agent

The runtime had one cancel: send session/cancel, wait at most 10 s for Orca's prompt to settle,
then close the connection, which ends the agent. A steer used it too, so a slow agent lost its
process just because the person added a message. requestSteerCancel() now sends session/cancel
once per prompt, cancels the agent's open requests and answers later permissions cancelled, and
never bounds or closes: the prompt's own reply ends it and the steer's prompt follows. cancel()
stays the Stop: bounded, then close. A Stop after a steer still bounds and closes. Both cancel
paths move into acp-prompt-cancel.ts over one cancel channel.

* chore(native-chat): keep the record store and recovery capsule under max-lines after the main merge

* fix(acp): a repeated steer shares the cancel in flight; say what the caller owns

Per review: a second steer before the first write lands returns that write instead of resolving
early. The steer's JSDoc says the wait for the prompt's reply is unbounded and that a prompt that
fails instead must not take the steer until the caller rebuilds the session; the Stop's says a
prompt that settles in time leaves the agent for the Stop's owner to end. The steer test now gives
the runtime a handler that would allow: the open permission's signal aborts and the late one never
reaches it.

* fix(native-chat): drop the stopDelivery the A3 merge doubled

* fix(acp): a steer's cancel asks Grok once and never ends it

A steer now uses D1's notify-only cancel. Two messages sent during a reply Grok began itself
cut that reply, as the common pattern does, and then both run; before, the queued first
message could not answer the bounded cancel and Orca ended Grok although Grok answered.
A Stop keeps the bounded cancel and its 4 s grace.

* fix(acp): a permission Grok asks with no prompt of Orca's running is declined

During a turn Grok began itself nobody asked it to act, so the request is answered
cancelled at once instead of opening a card that waits, as the common pattern does.

* fix(acp): a Grok that dies while starting is reported with its own last words

A dying process's stdout ends before its exit is seen, so the start failed as a closed
connection and Grok's stderr was lost. A start whose connection closed now waits, bounded by
the Stop grace (or a Close/Stop), for the exit before it is told.

* test: a Stop after a steer sends its own cancel; drop the import the A3 merge doubled

* test(native-chat): main's Stop-note test builds its turn context with the agent registry

* test(claude): say why the close test's fake child cast is safe

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity and turn context the current way

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle; the turn context also needs this branch's agent registry.

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity with the opaque handle

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle.

* test(ratchet): require src/main/provider-process now that it has landed

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 and this branch both added the import at different lines; the merge kept both.

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 made the same fix as this branch at a different line; the merge kept both imports.

* feat(native-chat): record a fresh provider conversation that replaced one the agent could not restore

A chat whose saved conversation the agent cannot reopen can now continue in a
fresh one: the handle chain records the new conversation as a creation that
replaces the lost one (which, why, and when), keeping every earlier link.

Rows keep a shape older builds read: the stored chain starts at the latest
replacement and carries the earlier links inside it.

* test(native-chat): build this stack's journal identities with main's opaque provider handle

Main's #24991 replaced the {kind, ...} handle with {transport, agent, nativeId}; three test
files from this stack still wrote the old shape. Same lines the downstream ACP branch uses.

* docs(acp): every reattach drops the agent's replay, not only for a chat the journal holds

* refactor(native-chat): store a replaced conversation flat; refuse it where older builds read the row

Older builds only read Claude and Codex records, so the nested stored form
protected rows no replacement can reach while adding a cap mismatch after a
downgrade. Store the chain as held, refuse a replacement in a Claude or Codex
chain until one has a stored shape older builds read, and refuse a supersession
key on a replacement that names no creation in the chain.

* refactor(native-chat): read hosts' structured agents from the app-shell services

Main grew the startup hydration hook to its line limit; the host agents sync is an app-lifetime subscription like the structured session tabs sync beside it, so it moves there.

* Use current provider handles in transition tests

* Use current provider handles in timeline fixtures

* test(native-chat): prove replacement rows survive downgrade and re-upgrade

* Require the ACP directory in the runtime import check

* test(ratchet): require src/main/acp now that this PR lands it

* feat(acp): a saved session the agent cannot reopen continues in a new one, with one warning row

When session/load (or session/resume) of a saved ACP session fails, the chat starts a new session and records it as a creation that replaces the lost one (#25747's 'replaces' link), and writes one warning row that the agent no longer remembers the earlier messages. A created session the agent reports missing is still superseded silently; a signed-out agent or a start that is over (Close, Stop, a lost agent) still fails the start.

* chore(acp): rewrap the acquire header comment

* test(acp): a start closed while the agent reopens fails without opening or announcing a new session

* Let ACP connections own their supervised agent process

* Preserve ACP cleanup evidence and isolate exit observers

* Expose ACP cleanup observations and type the permission fixture

* refactor(native-chat): the registered-agents capability lives in its own module

Main's growth put protocol-version.ts one counted line over its 300-line limit once the capability
was added; like main's other per-feature capabilities, it now has its own module, and importers read
it from there.

* refactor(acp): one connection owns the Grok process and its protocol

D3 now opens each ACP agent through createAcpAgentConnection (ACP-ALIGN #25810): one object spawns the
process on the execution host, owns its stdio and protocol, and reports its proven exit. It is built and
tracked before the handshake, so a start's abort (Close, Stop, quit) still reaches it, and a failed start
keeps that same connection for the next close to retry rather than spawning another process.

Deleted: the spawnAcpStructuredChild wrapper and its test, the raw-stream runtime assembly, the caller's
exit -> runtime.close wiring, the stdout-EOF heuristic (the connection no longer treats stdout EOF as
exit), and the 10 s steer/Stop cancel bound with requestSteerCancel. Reader control maps to
pauseReading/resumeReading; a close is connection.close after the host's existing 4 s Stop grace.

The adapter owns what the protocol no longer does: one session/cancel per running prompt however many
steers arrive (cleared with that send's settlement, retried after a failed write), and a Stop or steer
answers every open agent request the person has not already answered with the agent's own cancelled
reply. An answer already being saved when the Stop lands is sent.

Tests: blocked cancel write never holds Stop's grace, two quick steers send one cancel, a failed cancel
write is retried, a real process exiting while a child holds its stdout ends the session, and the
existing start-abort, retention, crash, connection-loss and reload-failure suites on the new rig.

* Add chat-owned OpenCode server transport foundation

* Combine server fixture type imports for CI lint

* fix(acp): Grok signs in on its own machine with its API key or cached sign-in

When Grok reports that it needs authentication, Orca now names a sign-in method on the machine Grok runs
on, read from the same environment Grok was launched with: xai.api_key when XAI_API_KEY is set there and
Grok offers that method, else cached_token when Grok offers it, else none and the chat keeps the existing
not-signed-in refusal. The rule lives in Grok's launch spec; the adapter applies any agent's rule for new
and reopened sessions through the protocol client's caller-named method (authenticate, then retry once).
No new sign-in UI; interactive methods are never chosen.

* Bound request serialization and correct transport fixture types

* fix(acp): the adapter decides which of Grok's requests reach the person

The turn owner now admits every agent request, permission or question, from its own turn state: a
request reaches the person only while Orca's prompt runs and no steer or Stop is cutting it short (a
question may also come from a turn Grok began itself, until a Stop). Anything else gets the agent's
own cancelled reply and opens no card, so a question arriving after Stop or during a steer never
appears. A steer, like a Stop, withdraws the requests already open; an answer already being saved is
still sent. The protocol client's abort-on-cancel path is no longer used: after the connection
change its request signal aborts only when the connection closes.

* fix(acp): a plan Grok proposes shows as a plan, with no approval card

When Grok leaves plan mode it asks the client to approve its plan (x.ai/exit_plan_mode). Orca showed a
blocking 'Approve plan / Request changes' card for it; the common pattern has no such gate. Now the
plan goes into the chat's existing Plan row (the plan-document status row Codex and ACP plan updates
already use) and the request is answered at once with 'abandoned' plus feedback telling Grok to stop and
wait for the person's feedback or a request to implement it in a later turn, so nothing is approved on
the person's behalf. Dialects gain settleRequest for requests answered without asking anyone.

* fix(orchestration): worker-start opens a Grok worker in a terminal, as before

With the structured chat setting on, worker-start decided 'structured' for Grok and then the structured
worker factory (Claude and Codex only) refused it, so the start failed; main opened a terminal Grok
worker. Worker-start now decides with no registered agents beyond Claude and Codex, so Grok gets a
terminal worker as before. agent.launch and the app's own launches still open Grok as a structured
chat. Temporary until structured workers take registered agents.

* Bound OpenCode event consumers and isolate chat caller identity

* fix(acp): a prompt answer Orca can't read ends the turn instead of hanging it

A session/prompt rejection that was not the agent's own error answer (an answer that fails Orca's
schema, or one too large to read) left the turn running: the next message became a steer with nothing
to cancel and was never sent or settled, and Stop waited its full grace. As in the common pattern, any
prompt failure now ends the turn as failed (a failed-turn row without words, since none are the
agent's) and settles the send, so the next message goes. Only a closed connection keeps the send
running, for the connection-loss path to settle.

* fix(acp): send Grok's prompt-identity extension only to agents that echo it

session/prompt carried _meta {promptId, requestId} for every ACP agent, though only Grok's dialect
echoes it (injectedPromptIdentity). Now only an agent whose dialect declares it gets the extension;
other ACP agents get a plain prompt.

* refactor(native-chat): the registered-agents capability lives in protocol-version again, as on main

This reverts 0ef6d21. That commit moved the capability to its own module only because main's
protocol-version.ts was then one counted line over its limit; main now defines it there itself within
the limit, and main's new restart test imports it from there. Main's test also reads the desktop's
capability list as an older client; on this branch the desktop advertises registered agents, so its
older client is that list without this one capability.

* test(acp): read the sign-in method with a schema, not a type assertion

* refactor(native-chat): composer transport and Stop control in their own modules

Main's rewind change (#19338) brought NativeChatStructuredSession.tsx and use-structured-agent-session.ts
to their line limits, leaving no room for this branch's image-acceptance and unpublished-Stop lines.
The composer's transport (sends, commands, options, image acceptance) moves to
use-native-chat-structured-composer-transport.ts, and whether Stop shows and what it does moves to
structured-agent-session-stop-control.ts. Behavior is unchanged; the runtime cast on the composer's
'local' | 'remote' is now a typed return.

* test(native-chat): read registered agents by id, as main's structuredAgentsReadBy now takes

Main's A3 squash changed structuredAgentsReadBy to take agent ids; this branch's test still passed
{ agent } objects (CI typecheck TS2322).

* fix(acp): a first reopen warns when Grok forgets a chat that exchanged turns

A Grok session the chat created was treated as one Grok never saved, so
when Grok reported it missing on the chat's first reopen, Orca swapped in
a fresh session silently, even after completed exchanges: the person saw
the old messages while Grok had forgotten them.

The launch now counts a created session as never saved only when the
chat's journal, read at the failed reopen, holds no turn of that Grok
session; anything else, an unreadable journal included, takes the normal
path: the fresh session is recorded as replacing the old one and the one
warning row is written.

* Add setting-gated OpenCode server native chat integration

* Use checked native event ordinals in timeline identities

* Validate nested account tags and preserve bounded restore failures

* Keep native history restoration within its session module

* Check native protocol records and support registered-agent drafts

* fix(acp): a start writes the warning row an earlier attach failure dropped

The row saying Grok forgot the chat was written only into the attach's
deferred sink, while the fresh session's link was saved earlier. An attach
failure, quit or crash in between dropped the row forever.

Every start now derives the owed rows: each conversation the chain says was
lost to a failed restore gets its row unless the chat's journal already holds
it. The row now names the lost conversation rather than the fresh session, so
a row an unused replacement wrote still counts after Grok supersedes it.

* fix(acp): a question during a turn the agent began itself gets its cancelled reply

A question or other card-opening request the agent sends while no prompt of
Orca's runs (a turn it began itself, as when a background task wakes it) now
gets the agent's own cancelled reply and opens no card, the same rule
permissions already follow there. Nobody is waiting on that turn. A plan the
agent shares in it is still shown.

* Update launch and status tests for registered structured agents

* test(native-chat): import the unfinished-work capture from the module that owns it

Main's reasoning sweep test (#19221) imported it from the dead-generation settlement, which
this branch split it out of.

* Run OpenCode structured chat over ACP

OpenCode joins the ACP lane as two launch rows (opencode and opencode2 run
'acp'), with a dialect that reads command output and exit codes from
OpenCode's metadata and labels its project-wide 'always' grant honestly.
The launch forces OPENCODE_CLIENT=acp and turns OpenCode's question tool
off, strips Orca's terminal status overlay from the child, and pins the
chat's OpenCode account as a tagged locator (managed profile, or data and
state directories). Image prompts go as ACP image blocks when the agent
advertises them, and restart recovery reads OpenCode's own store for
presence only.

* OpenCode 2 over ACP only for its default account

OpenCode 2's ACP command runs inside the user's own background service,
which the chat's environment never reaches, so a managed profile cannot be
honoured: while one is selected a new OpenCode 2 chat opens in the terminal,
and a record pinned to one never launches.

* Test OpenCode over ACP against its recorded traffic

Seven scrubbed recordings of opencode acp (1.18.31 and 2.0.14) replay through
the adapter: an approved shell command with its exit code and the
project-wide always label, deny on both majors, the 1.x subagent approval
that never arrives (Stop still ends the turn), the 2.x subagent approval
answered on the chat's session, the stray 1.x file write, and a provider
error shown in OpenCode's own words. The replay now plays recorded error
answers too.

* Name the normalized tool update for what it is

* OpenCode over ACP: 1.x only, honest grants, sound recovery

Review round 1:
- OpenCode 2 stays on its terminal-backed chat: its acp command runs in the
  user's own background service, which a chat's environment and account pin
  don't reach, and a declined local launch has no terminal fallback yet.
- The model-pick launch change is out of this PR (it could leave a worktree
  behind when the host later chose the terminal).
- 'Always allow' reads 'Allow for this chat': OpenCode 1.x keeps it in the
  chat's own process.
- A file write OpenCode repeats to a client with no file system leaves no
  row.
- Images are bounded by the encoded prompt line, not just raw bytes.
- Restart recovery: each accepted send claims its own stored copy first, and
  queued cards never trigger the read.
- A send whose child ended during the image read settles as not sent.
- An account Orca cannot pin (inline auth, relative directories) is refused
  as unsupported; default XDG directories the user never set stay unset; the
  retired shared plugin directory and data-account variables never reach the
  child; newer locator fields are tolerated.

* Round 2: recovery reads the chat's own database, honest grant label

- Restart recovery resolves OpenCode's database under the chat's own home,
  not Orca's, now that default data directories stay unset.
- 'Always allow' reads 'Allow until OpenCode restarts': Stop, quitting and an
  idle chat's stopped agent all end it.
- Only a message with images is refused for passing one protocol line, so a
  long text message never reads as an image problem.

* refactor(native-chat): keep the session host within its line budget after main's Stop work

Main's #25949 left the host at exactly its 300-line budget, and this branch's acquire-abort wiring
adds one line. The reveal module now comes in as a namespace import, as the host already does for
its other helper modules, and the earlier reorder of two type imports is undone.

* test(codex): move the stdout-before-exit test into its own file

Main's connection test file is at its 800-line test budget, and this branch's exit-order test
pushed it over (CI lint, max-lines).

* Keep the record's path bound, which the launch directory now uses

* Narrow the refusal in the prompt content test instead of casting it

* Type the replayed error answer as the protocol's error

* Read the replayed message through the replay's own schema

* Match recovered OpenCode messages through main's send fingerprint

Main gave every stored send one fingerprint helper (it drops the sender field); restart recovery now hashes stored messages through it instead of rebuilding the hash by hand.

* Keep an `opencode` that is 2.x on the terminal chat

Homebrew's `opencode` is 2.x now, so the binary, not only the agent name, decides whether OpenCode's acp runs in-process. An ACP launch spec can name the --version releases it runs on; OpenCode takes stable 1.x from 1.18.31. createSupport asks the binary a launch would spawn, with the environment a launch starts from, so a desktop launch of 2.x opens the terminal chat; every launch asks again before spawning, so a binary swapped after create never starts. The --version probe is shared and bounded, and a version it cannot read counts as unsupported.

* Type the mocked login-shell environment instead of asserting it

* Run the OpenCode the Command setting names, and say why a version check refused

The structured OpenCode and Grok chats resolved a bare `opencode`/`grok` from PATH while detection and the terminal chat honoured the per-agent Command setting, so a user who pointed Orca at a specific binary got another one (and, with the version gate, another version) in the structured chat. resolveStructuredAgentCommand now takes any agent id and the stock binary name; the ACP launch and createSupport's version check both resolve through it, so they ask about and spawn the same file. An unrunnable Command is admitted at create and refused at launch with agentCommandNotRunnable, as Claude and Codex do, instead of silently opening a terminal.

The --version probe now logs why it refused (exit code, timeout, oversized or versionless output, unsupported release), with the binary's own first words, so a refusal on a real host can be diagnosed. A real-probe test drives createSupport and the launch against stand-in binaries: per-agent PATH, Command setting, 2.x first on PATH, and an unrunnable Command.

* Say why a new OpenCode tab opened a terminal, and ask the host again for its agents

Live QA run 5 opened the terminal-backed OpenCode chat with the private 1.18.31 set as the Command and on the per-agent PATH, and Orca's main log had no version-check line. The host never decided: a local launch routes to the structured chat only once the renderer has learned the host's registered agents, and that list was read once at startup, so a read that failed (or was skipped while the local runtime's capabilities were unknown) kept OpenCode on the terminal for the whole session. A launch that finds the list unlearned now asks the host again, so the next launch opens the chat.

Every point that sends a launch to a terminal now says so, naming the check and never a value: the renderer's route decision ([agent-launch-route], in the renderer console), createSupport's refusing check ([structured-create-support]), a version check that passed as well as one that refused ([agent-cli-version]), an OpenCode account that cannot be pinned ([opencode-account]), and a host launch the default asked to be a chat ([agent-launch]). createSupport's composition moves out of the unchecked runtime class into structured-agent-launch-support.ts.

Tests reproduce run 5: the host's create check with HOME and every XDG directory in the rig, the Command and per-agent PATH naming a stand-in 1.18.31, and the account pinned to the rig's XDG directories; and the renderer route with those settings, before and after the host's list is learned (ablation: without the re-ask the route stays on the terminal chat).

* Type the mocked login-shell environment in the OpenCode probe tests instead of asserting it

* Pass the OpenCode Command and environment through the route test's store helper, which types its settings

* Open OpenCode's chat on the first new tab, and learn the host's agents when they become available

The renderer routes an OpenCode tab to the structured chat only once it has learned the host's registered agents, and that list was read once at startup with nothing to read it again, so a read that came too early or failed sent every OpenCode tab to the terminal chat.

- agentSession.agents answers from the registrations the host is built from, as createSupport already does, instead of installing the host first: the answer is fixed for this build, so it no longer waits on, or fails with, opening the chat journal.
- The local list is read again when the local runtime's capabilities land, so a startup read made while they were unknown is redone on the event that makes it possible.
- A new tab whose chat route waits only on that list asks the host for it and opens nothing until it answers or 3 seconds pass (the local admission bound), then decides: the first launch opens the chat. A host that does not publish its agents is never waited on.

* Type the new-tab route request as a launch request, which carries the delivery callback

* Declare that agentSession.agents answers from the registrations in the cross-version manifest

Older builds read the list from the installed host, newer ones from the registrations it is built from; the manifest now asks only that Codex is listed, which holds for both.

* Wait for this computer's runtime too before routing a new tab during a slow startup

Field QA: soon after a slow startup, a new tab opened the terminal chat because the local runtime had not reported its capabilities yet, which routes straight to the terminal; the bounded wait covered only an unlearned agent list. A new tab whose chat route waits only on either answer now asks for it and opens nothing until it comes or 3 seconds pass, then decides; the [agent-launch-route] line still names the blocker if it falls back. Tests that never meant to exercise startup now start with the runtime's answer known.

* Wait for the probe that lands the runtime capabilities, not one that failed at startup

When the startup probe fails (a rig whose terminal daemon failed to start), asking again answers null at once, so the new-tab wait ended early and the tab opened the terminal chat. The wait now subscribes to the event that delivers the capabilities, probes once, and stops at the 3 s cap; it applies to both routes, so OpenCode (whose blocker is the unlearned agent list) and Claude (unknown capabilities) both wait for it. Tests run the real capability module with a failed startup probe: Claude and OpenCode open their chat when a later probe lands within the wait, and the terminal chat after the cap otherwise.

* Answer an OpenCode account Orca cannot pin at create support, not as a failed chat

Live QA with inline OpenCode credentials (OPENCODE_AUTH_CONTENT) passed the version check at create support and was refused only at create, so the window showed a failed "OpenCode Chat" with Retry where a declined launch opens the terminal chat. Create support now resolves the account a new chat would pin through the same read-only resolver the model catalog and create use, and answers no, logging the account-pin check, when the host refuses to pin it; any other failure is left for create to state. Create's own refusal stays as the backstop.

* fix(opencode): start the chat with the user's OpenCode environment as-is

An OpenCode chat with no managed profile no longer records data/state
folders or a database choice, no longer refuses inline credentials or
relative paths, and launches with the user's environment unchanged.
Drops the create-support account-pin probe that only those refusals used.

* test(cross-version): build each method's params in their own file, under the line limit
brennanb2025 added a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 8, 2026
* End a running call as its turn's journal row ends

A call still running when its turn ends takes the state of that turn's
row: a row another writer settled first (a person's Stop) stands, so its
calls read interrupted whatever the provider's later end reports. The
no-ending path that settled calls from the Stop row is gone, since a Stop
now leaves running calls to the provider. Adds the two Spanish strings.

* Say why a Grok turn failed, and keep task rows in Grok's own words

A failed Grok turn ended with no reason on screen: the translator dropped
every copy of Grok's message. The failed turn now gets one status row in
Orca's existing "provider did not accept this message" words with Grok's
reason, read from whichever copy arrives first (the given-up retry, the
turn's end, the prompt's completion notice, or the prompt's error answer);
later copies only fill a reason the row still lacks.

A running background command no longer reads "Background task <id>
started": a task's summary is mapped only once it has settled. A monitor
stays a monitor when the agent reads its output: a frame that names no
kind keeps the known one, and a "[monitor" command is a monitor.

A prompt's turn is marked started, so a late frame for an ended prompt
neither reopens it nor becomes the active turn. A tool's turn is held in
one place at a time.

* Read a monitor from Grok's exact output prefix

* Word a failed Grok turn in Grok's own text, not as a refused message

A turn that started and then failed was told "The provider did not accept
this message", Orca's sentence for a message refused before its turn. The
row now reads as a Codex turn-ending error does: an error status row with the
provider's own words. With no words, the dialect names the failure ("Grok
ended this turn with an error." / "Grok usage limit reached."), else the
agent's display name does.

* Settle a stopped turn's running call as its turn row ended after a restart too

The restart sweep ended every running call by the death evidence alone, so after
a person's Stop with no proof the child died the call read failed under a turn
that read interrupted. The sweep and the live dead-generation settlement now ask
the same rule the assembler does: a call in a turn already settled ends as that
row ended; only a turn still running leaves its calls to the evidence.

* Keep the dead-generation settlement under the line cap

* Register the ACP schema verify step in the PR preflight phase test

* refactor(agent-session): one required agent registry; declarations admit what they claim

A StructuredAgentRegistry, built once from the {definition, adapter}
registrations, is now a required host dependency and the router routes with
it. The adapter interface loses its optional router-only capabilities?() and
definition?(); every reader (options at rest, thread goal, rewind, the
/compact handover) asks the registry. A live session still narrows rewind
through the adapter, and the host combines declared and narrowed in one
helper. The registry refuses a registration that declares compact, a thread
goal or rewind without the adapter method behind it.

/compact is admitted by the declared capability, so an agent that declares
compact:false gets the commandRefused fact instead of a thrown error.

Also: the cut-turn notice names the agent from the catalog, create-support
builds the account home through agentSessionAccountHome, and the turn
status text older clients read names the session's agent instead of
defaulting to Codex (Claude/Codex text unchanged).

* Read ACP permissions, session events and prompt errors through the protocol client's own types

The translator now reads a permission request with the client's lenient reader, a session update
with its session-event reader, and takes only the agent's own error answer as a failed prompt's
reason, so an Orca-side error never reads as the provider's words. Tests cover protocol values
newer than this build.

* refactor(agent-session): the router applies the declared rewind itself

The router holds the registry, so its rewindSupport answers the owner's
declared rewind narrowed by the adapter, in one place no reader can bypass.
The host-side combining helper is gone; readers ask the adapter they hold.

* test(agent-session): register the agents the merged-in tests now need

The adoption replay test builds its host over this build's registered agents
instead of an adapter definition method, and the stored-form test passes the
stored agents the record guard now requires.

* chore(agent-session): the registry is the one lookup; drop the test-only empty capability record

* fix(agent-session): keep "dismiss all" restart offers dismissed for the desktop

The desktop renderer calls the restart methods as a paired runtime client
without the registered-agents capability, so it was handed a Claude/Codex
audience and its "dismiss all" took the scoped path: no dismissal fence and
no clearing of unwritten teardown witnesses, so a late teardown write could
bring a dismissed offer back.

The audience is now derived against this host's registry: a client that can
show every agent the host registered gets none, and dismisses exactly as
before (one fence for every offer). A client that truly cannot show some
agent still gets a final dismissal for what it sees: each cleared session is
fenced on its own (bounded, superseded by a dismiss-all fence) and only the
witnesses of agents it sees are dropped.

One predicate now answers which agents a client renders, for both tab
projection and restart offers; the Claude capability rule is folded in.

* fix(agent-session): a changed agent definition never hides that agent's chats

A record was readable only if every handle used the transport its agent's
definition declares today, and its account variable was declared by some
registered agent. A later build that drives the same agent over another
protocol, or under a renamed variable, would have set every existing chat of
that agent aside: no tab, no history, no error.

Readability now asks only that the record agree with itself: its agent is
registered, every handle shares one namespace owned by that agent, and the
account variable is a well-formed name. Whether this build can drive it (the
chain's transport is the one the agent speaks, and the account variable is
that agent's own, since it becomes the child's environment) is decided in
performAttach, the one admission every start of every agent passes through,
and refused there as hostUnsupported. A record pinning another agent's
variable is refused the same way rather than passing because some agent
declares it.

* refactor(agent-session): each agent's registration says where it runs and which account it pins

createSupport, create and the model catalog's account read still chose a
location rule and an account resolver by name (Claude, Codex, else none),
so a new agent would have needed a third branch beside the registration
list that already decides storage, routing and publication.

Each runtime registration now carries supportsLocation(location) and
resolveAccountHomePath({ launchEnv, location, purpose, workspacePath }),
and Claude's and Codex's rules move into their entries unchanged: a read
still syncs no home and starts no bridge, a Codex launch still trusts the
workspace first, and WSL locations resolve as before. The list exists
before the host is built, so none of these reads installs the host, and an
agent the list does not hold is answered no without opening the journal.

* test(agent-session): drop a duplicate registry key; keep fences out of the capsule state

A spread input already carries the registry, so the explicit key was
overwritten (TS2783). The session-fence helper now returns only the fence,
not the capsule state it was given.

* fix(agent-session): a scoped dismiss-all persists no per-session fence

The per-session dismissal fence added a forever-persisted capsule field
with an arbitrary cap that served no caller: only the local desktop calls
the restart methods, and on a host whose agents it all shows it gets no
audience and takes the unscoped, fenced dismissal. A scoped dismiss-all
(a caller that cannot show some registered agent) keeps that agent's
offers, clears only its audience's unwritten witnesses, and writes no
fence; a late write from this process is serialized behind it. The field
never left this unreleased branch.

* fix(agent-session): refuse an attach whose agent is not the session's own

The start check judges the record's agent while the router starts the adapter of params.agent, and the attach wire let the two differ. Admission now refuses agent !== provider as requestMalformed, so the agent checked is the agent started. Every host-built attach already sets them equal.

* fix(agent-session): offer to start a chat only when the start would accept it

The restart offer, a failure's retryable flag and the pre-send check asked only whether the adapter runs the chat's location, while the start also refuses a record this build cannot drive; such a chat was offered Resume and its Retry failed forever. One host predicate, hostCanStartRecord (location support and agentDrivesSession), now answers all four; adapterSupportsRecord stays the reader gate, and an undrivable chat's offer is kept, not retired.

* fix(agent-session): the model-catalog probe uses a record's account only if this build drives it

A record-scoped catalog read started the agent's lister under the record's account path whatever variable the record pinned. It now uses that path only when agentDrivesSession holds, and otherwise resolves the account as for a read with no record.

* refactor(agent-session): the record store admits agent ids; comments say where transport is checked

The store only ever asked whether an agent is registered, so its admission list is now the registered ids; the definition is the one home of an agent's transport and account variable. Comments that said the record store checks transport, and one that cited a nonexistent function, now point at agentDrivesSession and the attach admission. The isPersistedAgentSessionRecord(value, agents) call shape and the test fixture the cross-version probe imports are kept.

* docs(agent-session): the record store admits the registered agents' ids

* refactor(native-chat): Grok's registration declares where it runs; ACP no longer borrows Codex's location rule

The rule a self-supervised agent child runs under (this machine, no WSL, Windows only with process
start-time proof) is its own module that Codex and the ACP adapter both use. Grok's registration
takes the full account-home resolver signature, and D3's tests build hosts with the agent registry.

* fix(native-chat): Grok follows the ACP runtime's request contract and the managed process's close

A request the agent or a Stop cancels is answered with the agent's own cancelled reply by the code that
owns it (the runtime no longer answers a silent handler), so a Stop needs no separate decline pass. A
permission answer still being saved when the agent stopped waiting is reported unconfirmed, since the
protocol already answered it cancelled. Cancelling the agent's own turn is the plain cancel. Request
rows are matched under their generation-scoped ids. A refusal's reason comes from the dialect's wording
path. The child drops its own stderr tail and close policy for the managed process's, and a close
whose process tree was not proven gone is reported as the adapter contract asks.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok chat Orca already holds resumes without writing what Grok replays

A chat with a saved Grok session reattaches with session/resume where the agent offers it, else
session/load. Either way the call runs inside the translator's load window, so what Grok sends while
it reattaches (its saved exchange, a task the dead process left running, ended by the restart) opens
no turn and writes no row; only context usage reads on. A reply an Orca or Grok crash cut short is no
longer completed from Grok's saved history: it reads like a Claude or Codex chat's, with the existing
notice. The attach window also closes after a failed attach, and a created session that session/resume
reports missing is replaced like one session/load reports missing.

The replay reconciliation is removed: the lane no longer reads the journal, and D3's replayed-input
grammar test and completed-turn check in the assembler go with it.

* refactor(native-chat): a failed Grok reattach needs no window close of its own; its lane is replaced

* test(native-chat): D3's merged tests use the shipped declarations and the launch options main requires

* fix(native-chat): typecheck fallout of the base merges; any agent's empty chat is reusable

Main's idle-empty-chat lookup and launch join now take any registered agent, as the rest of the
launch path does. The refusal check moved into the prompt turns and the prompt-block conversion beside
the turns that send it, keeping both files in their line limit.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok Stop ends the process once Grok settles its turn; the next send resumes

Grok's session/cancel ends only the running turn: work it already moved to the background keeps
running and can begin a turn of its own after the person pressed Stop. Stop is now a session
boundary, as it is for Claude: the cancel answers open requests and lets Grok end the turn, the host
waits a bounded grace for that, then ends the process; the next send relaunches and resumes.
The adapter's own bounded close of a turn Grok began is gone. Its named-turn check stays: the host
ends the session unless the provider declines a Stop naming a turn that has since ended.

* test(native-chat): a Grok Stop ends the process only after Grok answered the cancel

* fix(native-chat): Steer on a Grok card cancels the running prompt, then sends it

A send that reached Grok while a prompt ran was held in the adapter until that turn ended: Steer
on a queued card took the card out of the host's editable queue and meant 'send after this turn'.
It now cancels the running prompt (session/cancel; the session stays) and sends as the next prompt
once Grok answers the cancel, as the common pattern does; a steer behind another cancels it in
turn, so the last one runs. The adapter holds a send only while that cancel lands, so its general
held-send queue and its holdsDispatch report are gone (every send it holds has its turn open in
the journal). An older client's mid-turn send takes the same path. capabilities.steering is
unchanged and still unread.

* refactor(native-chat): a close or Stop cancels a start through the acquire's own abort signal

The host owns the acquire it runs, so it now owns its cancellation: each attach's acquire gets an
AbortSignal, aborted from outside the session's queue by a close and by a Stop admitted now (the
same admission rule as before). The optional abandonStart adapter hook, the router's fan-out to
every adapter and the ACP adapter's session-keyed start map are gone; the ACP adapter keeps an
unkeyed set of starts only so quit can prove their children gone, and keeps a failed start's
unproven child until its exit is proven.
The hook also let a later close ask that child again. The host now does that from state it holds:
a close of a chat with no live child whose record still names an owner process with no death
evidence asks the adapter to release it. The answer is not recorded as proof (the lease probe
does that), so an owner pid an earlier Orca left is never killed or marked gone. Claude and Codex
ignore the signal and hold no such child; their release is a no-op (tested).

* fix(native-chat): a Grok crash that closes stdout before its exit still ends with Grok's last words

On macOS and Linux the agent's stdout ends before its exit is observed, with or without the
supervisor's EOF forwarding, so the connection's loss closed the journal first and its error text
became the session's ended reason, dropping Grok's stderr. The reason is now read at the proven
exit: the agent's last words when it left any, else why the connection closed. The failure already
carried them. Comments that assumed the exit comes first, that early frames past the cap refuse the
start, and that dispatch re-checks image support are corrected.

* fix(native-chat): nothing Grok sends while a held chat reattaches is written, marked as replay or not

The reattach window relied on the dialect's replay verdict, and Grok's frames read as live unless
they carry isReplay, so an unmarked chat frame during session/resume opened a turn that never
ended. D3 now marks every frame inside the window as replay before the translator reads it, so the
translator keeps only context usage whatever the agent marked; options and commands are still
adopted. The translator's load semantics are unchanged.

* test(native-chat): a Stop after a resume finds no turn an unmarked old reply opened

* test(native-chat): a resumed Grok chat keeps its last context reading; the resume refreshes only the window

* test(native-chat): a Grok background task a Stop ended reads as stopped reporting

* refactor(native-chat): quit's stop of each start answers through one promise kind

* fix(native-chat): quit aborts every start the host has in flight before draining attaches

A Grok that never answered its handshake held quit until the start's own 60 s bound, past the
20 s quit deadline. The host's teardown now aborts each in-flight acquire (and any the drain
still begins), so the adapter's own quit controller and its map of starts are gone: a start
has one canceller, the host's signal.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok start's abort stops reaching its child once the start has returned

The listener stayed on the host's signal until the attach finished committing, so a Close in that
window killed the now-live child behind the host's back and it read as Grok crashing. The start
now detaches it when it ends; a later Close goes through the session's own stop.

* fix(native-chat): a close or Stop during any attach phase stops the start before it launches

The attach began its abort controller only after reconciling leases, resolving recovery and
probing the previous owner, so a close or admitted Stop in those phases reached nothing and Grok
launched anyway. The controller now begins first, and the acquisition checks it before asking the
adapter to start.

* test(native-chat): a close during the attach's owner probe asks no adapter to start

Also renames the close test after the hook it no longer exercises.

* test(native-chat): a close's re-ask closes a Claude or Codex child a failed cleanup left

The re-ask is not a no-op for them: when the adapter still holds the child its cleanup could not
prove gone, the close stops it again as a requested close, and Claude persists the handle of the
conversation it ran so the next send resumes it. Corrects the tests' and comment's wording; the
close awaits the re-ask, bounded by each adapter's kill ladder.

* fix(native-chat): Steer during a turn Grok began itself cancels it and sends once it ends

A send while Grok ran a turn of its own (a background task waking it) went straight to Grok, which
queued it behind that turn where Orca could no longer withdraw it, while Stop treated the same turn
as the running reply. The send now waits as a steer, the turn is cancelled once, and the message
goes when the turn ends; a Stop withdraws it and an exit rejects it as never sent.

* test(native-chat): a steer whose cancel Grok never answers ends Grok and is rejected as never sent

Pins the bounded steer cancel kept from the runtime: past the bound the connection closes, the
running reply reads unverifiable, Grok's end reads as its exit, and the waiting steer is rejected
as never sent.

* fix(native-chat): a Grok crash stays a crash when a stop lands before its exit is proven

After the connection broke and the close could not prove Grok's exit, any later stop Orca asked
for (the next start, a Stop, a Close) marked the child as closed by Orca, so the crash read as a
requested close and Grok's last words were dropped; a send meanwhile was recorded unconfirmed.
The connection loss now decides the cause, and a send on that session is rejected as never sent.

* test(native-chat): fixtures this PR's registered Grok and desktop capability made stale

CI's unit shards failed on tests outside the PR's own lists. Each encodes something this PR changes
on purpose: Grok is now a registered agent (the seam test's unregistered agent is now Cursor); the
desktop now advertises registered agents (the restart-offer tests' older client drops that
capability explicitly); the attach context carries the start's abort controllers (the forget-status
double gains them); and the ACP real-host test rig sends to the host directly (listed beside the
other real-host rig in the send ratchet).

* fix(native-chat): a start quit stops is not the queued message's start failure

With quit now aborting a start it would have waited for, the delivery step recorded the aborted
start as the message's failure ("couldn't restart"). After quit has stopped delivery, the step
leaves the message to quit, which settles it as a close does ("The chat closed before this message
was sent."). The test that pinned quit waiting for that start and stopping its child now pins that
nothing is launched behind quit.

* fix(native-chat): a message sent after a Stop or close aborted a start gets its own start

A start the host aborts (an admitted Stop, a close, or quit) returned its refusal to the delivery
loop, which then rejected whatever was queued at that moment with "couldn't restart", including a
message the user sent after the Stop. The attach now reports that the host aborted it, and the loop
re-derives from the journal instead: what the Stop or close withdrew is already settled, a message
accepted since gets a start of its own, and quit's next step stops the loop. This replaces the
quit-only carve-out with the same rule for every abort and every agent.

* test(native-chat): the message sent after an aborted start is answered, so no settlement outlives the test

* fix(native-chat): a Grok model pick Grok never answers no longer holds Stop or Close

The pick runs on the session's queue. It now registers in the host's out-of-queue
abort registry beside a start, so a close, an admitted Stop or quit abandons it, and
the ACP adapter bounds it at 30 s like Claude and Codex. A late answer is still adopted.

* fix(agent-launch): a phone's launch opens a terminal for an agent whose chat it cannot show

agent.launch now reads the caller's capabilities by the rule tabs and restart offers
use (clientRendersStructuredAgent). A phone without registered-agents.v1 gets Grok as
a terminal again, as on main; the host's own callers and desktop clients are unchanged.

* fix(acp): strip every agent hook variable from the ACP child, from the shared list

ACP_CHILD_ENV_TO_DELETE was a second copy of the hook runtime keys that missed
ORCA_AGENT_HOOK_TRANSPORT; it now spreads AGENT_HOOK_RUNTIME_ENV_KEYS beside the pane
identity keys.

* refactor(native-chat): the mutation context carries the provider-wait registry itself

Keeps the host file within its line limit; one field instead of two closures over it.

* fix(agent-launch): agent.launch.v2 still vouches for Claude and Codex chats

The caller rule from the previous commit also turned Claude and Codex into terminals
for a client advertising only agent.launch.v2, whose contract says it opens a chat
(mobile retry-authority tests). Only an agent beyond those two now needs the client to
read it (clientRendersStructuredAgent); the test fixtures go back to what they were.

* refactor(native-chat): drop saved-history adoption from the timeline assembler

The common pattern discards the history a provider replays while loading a
session, so the assembler has no use for an input.history event.

* refactor(acp): drop session/load history adoption from the translator

The common pattern discards the history an agent replays during session/load,
keeping only what it says about the context window. Remove the adoption path
(acp-history-adoption.ts, the adopt option, and the historical background-task
liveness rewrite it fed) so load replay is always dropped except usage.

* refactor(native-chat): a pending input is only Orca's send now

Review follow-up to the adoption removal: drop the comment naming the
provider's saved message, and make requestedAt required since every pending
input comes from input.accepted.

* test(acp): keep the task-result status table on live frames

Review follow-up to the adoption removal: the result-status mapping was only
tested through adopted history, so run the same table on live frames, and
cover an unmarked task notice during a load being dropped.

* test(acp): a frame helper for a shell command Grok is running

* fix(acp): a Grok crash settles through the host's provider-exit batch, scoped to the turn it ended

A Grok crash ended the journal unverifiable before the adapter reported the exit, so the host's
provider-exit settlement found no running turn and wrote nothing: the adapter's failure (with
Grok's last words) never reached the journal, and a later stale-session pass wrote a bare,
thread-scoped cut-short row, so the partial reply was not folded as Claude's and Codex's are.

At a proven exit the ACP lane now ends its running turn interrupted at the exit instant, as the
host's exit contract expects of a child's own translator (Codex's does the same). When Grok's
stdout closed first (every POSIX crash), the turn is unverifiable only until the exit is proven:
the host's provider-exit settlement now takes the exit as proof naming the child's fence and
revises what that child left unverifiable in the same batch, with the turn-scoped row and the
adapter's failure. Claude and Codex write no unverifiable turn of a live child except a command
whose hand-off is in doubt; that turn is now revised at the exit instead of at the next open.

* test(acp): a crash seen first leaves the host no Grok turn to revise

* refactor(native-chat): what a gone generation left unfinished gets its own module

The settlement file passed 300 lines with the exit-proof revision. The unfinished-work reads
(capture, interrupted-by-the-exit, in-progress) are their own concept and move out unchanged,
apart from the exit proof they now take.

* refactor(native-chat): a watched exit revises what its child left unverifiable without reading Stop marks

An exit's own instant is the turn's end, so the revision needs only each row's fence: the
settlement's journal type gains itemFence alone, and the host test fakes say so.

* test(native-chat): drop the duplicate itemFence on the fake that already had one

* test(claude, codex): an exit whose stdout ended first still reports as it always did

The provider supervisor now ends Orca's stdout when the agent's ends, so on every crash EOF
arrives before the exit is seen. Claude's and Codex's connections report nothing at EOF and
report the exit, with its usual reason, once it is seen.

* fix(acp): reopen a chat with session/load, as the common pattern does

An agent that offers both now reloads its session instead of resuming it; the
reattach window still discards what it replays except context usage.

* fix(acp): drop the 60 s handshake bound; an abort fails the start's waits at once

Neither common design bounds an ACP handshake: Close, Stop and quit end a start
that never answers. The abort now also closes the connection, as a kill there
does, so the start settles even before the child's exit is proven. The
host-stopped start refusal only this bound produced goes with it; the idle
sweep keeps its words.

* fix(acp): a Stop naming an ended turn follows Claude's rule

It still stops nothing while another turn is live, but in the gap before a
follow-up's turn opens, which no client can name, it now stops what is in
flight and the session ends, as a Claude Stop does.

* fix(native-chat): a close no longer re-asks a failed start's unproven child

Neither common design retries that stop at Close, and Orca's Claude contract
re-asks only at the next start and at quit. The ACP adapter keeps the child
until its exit is proven and asks it again there, as Claude does.

* fix(acp): a message sent during a turn the agent began itself goes at once

Both common designs send it straight to the agent with no cancel; only Orca's
own running prompt is steered (cancelled, then re-prompted).

* test(native-chat): dismiss-all through a remote client's audience keeps a newer Orca's offer

Uses an audience production sends (one that cannot show every agent), per review.

* fix(acp): launch Grok as `grok agent stdio`, without the update and leader flags

The common pattern passes neither --no-auto-update, --no-leader nor
GROK_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER; full access still adds --always-approve.

* fix(acp): an agent that ends its stdout, or answers unreadably, is not a lost connection

As in the common pattern, only a broken stdin (or Orca's own close) ends the
agent; one that closed its output but can still be written to stays until a
Stop, a close or its exit. The provider supervisor goes back to its base
content, so Claude and Codex no longer get the forwarded stdout end either.

* fix(native-chat): a person's close joining a failed one still binds the turn its child end cuts

On main every close of the chat writes its own Stop and settle. Here a later close joins the
first and writes no row, and the first's settle closed when its kill failed, so a turn that opened
in between and was cut by the next close read as failed. A person's close joining a person's close
whose Stop opened a settle now reopens that settle until its attempt is done.

Tests: a close whose kill failed still closes its settle; a turn opened between a failed close and
the next reads as the person's cancellation (each fails without its half of the fix).

* test(native-chat): Grok opens as a chat only behind the structured-chat setting

agent.launch and orchestration worker-start read the same setting as the
renderer route; pin both states for Grok on each. The setting's description no
longer names only Codex and Claude, in every catalog.

* docs(acp): generic ACP comments say what holds for every agent, not Grok

Stop ends the session for every ACP agent, as in the common pattern; the
adoption hook comment goes (adoption is not planned); a failed start's child is
retried at the next start or quit.

* test(claude, codex): type the EOF-before-exit test's streams; the supervisor no longer forwards EOF

The Claude test wrote to the child's stdout and stderr through their Readable
type, which the node typecheck rejects; it now holds its own PassThrough
streams. The comments no longer credit the reverted supervisor change.

* feat(acp): a steer's cancel asks once and never ends the agent

The runtime had one cancel: send session/cancel, wait at most 10 s for Orca's prompt to settle,
then close the connection, which ends the agent. A steer used it too, so a slow agent lost its
process just because the person added a message. requestSteerCancel() now sends session/cancel
once per prompt, cancels the agent's open requests and answers later permissions cancelled, and
never bounds or closes: the prompt's own reply ends it and the steer's prompt follows. cancel()
stays the Stop: bounded, then close. A Stop after a steer still bounds and closes. Both cancel
paths move into acp-prompt-cancel.ts over one cancel channel.

* chore(native-chat): keep the record store and recovery capsule under max-lines after the main merge

* fix(acp): a repeated steer shares the cancel in flight; say what the caller owns

Per review: a second steer before the first write lands returns that write instead of resolving
early. The steer's JSDoc says the wait for the prompt's reply is unbounded and that a prompt that
fails instead must not take the steer until the caller rebuilds the session; the Stop's says a
prompt that settles in time leaves the agent for the Stop's owner to end. The steer test now gives
the runtime a handler that would allow: the open permission's signal aborts and the late one never
reaches it.

* fix(native-chat): drop the stopDelivery the A3 merge doubled

* fix(acp): a steer's cancel asks Grok once and never ends it

A steer now uses D1's notify-only cancel. Two messages sent during a reply Grok began itself
cut that reply, as the common pattern does, and then both run; before, the queued first
message could not answer the bounded cancel and Orca ended Grok although Grok answered.
A Stop keeps the bounded cancel and its 4 s grace.

* fix(acp): a permission Grok asks with no prompt of Orca's running is declined

During a turn Grok began itself nobody asked it to act, so the request is answered
cancelled at once instead of opening a card that waits, as the common pattern does.

* fix(acp): a Grok that dies while starting is reported with its own last words

A dying process's stdout ends before its exit is seen, so the start failed as a closed
connection and Grok's stderr was lost. A start whose connection closed now waits, bounded by
the Stop grace (or a Close/Stop), for the exit before it is told.

* test: a Stop after a steer sends its own cancel; drop the import the A3 merge doubled

* test(native-chat): main's Stop-note test builds its turn context with the agent registry

* test(claude): say why the close test's fake child cast is safe

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity and turn context the current way

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle; the turn context also needs this branch's agent registry.

* test(native-chat): build the Stop-opened-turn test's identity with the opaque handle

The test (#25056) landed before the opaque provider handle (#24991), so main still built
the old {kind, threadId} handle.

* test(ratchet): require src/main/provider-process now that it has landed

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 and this branch both added the import at different lines; the merge kept both.

* test(native-chat): keep main's opaque-handle import in the Stop-opened-turn test

Main's #25706 made the same fix as this branch at a different line; the merge kept both imports.

* feat(native-chat): record a fresh provider conversation that replaced one the agent could not restore

A chat whose saved conversation the agent cannot reopen can now continue in a
fresh one: the handle chain records the new conversation as a creation that
replaces the lost one (which, why, and when), keeping every earlier link.

Rows keep a shape older builds read: the stored chain starts at the latest
replacement and carries the earlier links inside it.

* test(native-chat): build this stack's journal identities with main's opaque provider handle

Main's #24991 replaced the {kind, ...} handle with {transport, agent, nativeId}; three test
files from this stack still wrote the old shape. Same lines the downstream ACP branch uses.

* docs(acp): every reattach drops the agent's replay, not only for a chat the journal holds

* refactor(native-chat): store a replaced conversation flat; refuse it where older builds read the row

Older builds only read Claude and Codex records, so the nested stored form
protected rows no replacement can reach while adding a cap mismatch after a
downgrade. Store the chain as held, refuse a replacement in a Claude or Codex
chain until one has a stored shape older builds read, and refuse a supersession
key on a replacement that names no creation in the chain.

* refactor(native-chat): read hosts' structured agents from the app-shell services

Main grew the startup hydration hook to its line limit; the host agents sync is an app-lifetime subscription like the structured session tabs sync beside it, so it moves there.

* Use current provider handles in transition tests

* Use current provider handles in timeline fixtures

* test(native-chat): prove replacement rows survive downgrade and re-upgrade

* Require the ACP directory in the runtime import check

* test(ratchet): require src/main/acp now that this PR lands it

* feat(acp): a saved session the agent cannot reopen continues in a new one, with one warning row

When session/load (or session/resume) of a saved ACP session fails, the chat starts a new session and records it as a creation that replaces the lost one (#25747's 'replaces' link), and writes one warning row that the agent no longer remembers the earlier messages. A created session the agent reports missing is still superseded silently; a signed-out agent or a start that is over (Close, Stop, a lost agent) still fails the start.

* chore(acp): rewrap the acquire header comment

* test(acp): a start closed while the agent reopens fails without opening or announcing a new session

* Let ACP connections own their supervised agent process

* Preserve ACP cleanup evidence and isolate exit observers

* Expose ACP cleanup observations and type the permission fixture

* refactor(native-chat): the registered-agents capability lives in its own module

Main's growth put protocol-version.ts one counted line over its 300-line limit once the capability
was added; like main's other per-feature capabilities, it now has its own module, and importers read
it from there.

* refactor(acp): one connection owns the Grok process and its protocol

D3 now opens each ACP agent through createAcpAgentConnection (ACP-ALIGN #25810): one object spawns the
process on the execution host, owns its stdio and protocol, and reports its proven exit. It is built and
tracked before the handshake, so a start's abort (Close, Stop, quit) still reaches it, and a failed start
keeps that same connection for the next close to retry rather than spawning another process.

Deleted: the spawnAcpStructuredChild wrapper and its test, the raw-stream runtime assembly, the caller's
exit -> runtime.close wiring, the stdout-EOF heuristic (the connection no longer treats stdout EOF as
exit), and the 10 s steer/Stop cancel bound with requestSteerCancel. Reader control maps to
pauseReading/resumeReading; a close is connection.close after the host's existing 4 s Stop grace.

The adapter owns what the protocol no longer does: one session/cancel per running prompt however many
steers arrive (cleared with that send's settlement, retried after a failed write), and a Stop or steer
answers every open agent request the person has not already answered with the agent's own cancelled
reply. An answer already being saved when the Stop lands is sent.

Tests: blocked cancel write never holds Stop's grace, two quick steers send one cancel, a failed cancel
write is retried, a real process exiting while a child holds its stdout ends the session, and the
existing start-abort, retention, crash, connection-loss and reload-failure suites on the new rig.

* fix(acp): Grok signs in on its own machine with its API key or cached sign-in

When Grok reports that it needs authentication, Orca now names a sign-in method on the machine Grok runs
on, read from the same environment Grok was launched with: xai.api_key when XAI_API_KEY is set there and
Grok offers that method, else cached_token when Grok offers it, else none and the chat keeps the existing
not-signed-in refusal. The rule lives in Grok's launch spec; the adapter applies any agent's rule for new
and reopened sessions through the protocol client's caller-named method (authenticate, then retry once).
No new sign-in UI; interactive methods are never chosen.

* fix(acp): the adapter decides which of Grok's requests reach the person

The turn owner now admits every agent request, permission or question, from its own turn state: a
request reaches the person only while Orca's prompt runs and no steer or Stop is cutting it short (a
question may also come from a turn Grok began itself, until a Stop). Anything else gets the agent's
own cancelled reply and opens no card, so a question arriving after Stop or during a steer never
appears. A steer, like a Stop, withdraws the requests already open; an answer already being saved is
still sent. The protocol client's abort-on-cancel path is no longer used: after the connection
change its request signal aborts only when the connection closes.

* feat(native-chat): add inactive Pi RPC transport foundation

* fix(acp): a plan Grok proposes shows as a plan, with no approval card

When Grok leaves plan mode it asks the client to approve its plan (x.ai/exit_plan_mode). Orca showed a
blocking 'Approve plan / Request changes' card for it; the common pattern has no such gate. Now the
plan goes into the chat's existing Plan row (the plan-document status row Codex and ACP plan updates
already use) and the request is answered at once with 'abandoned' plus feedback telling Grok to stop and
wait for the person's feedback or a request to implement it in a later turn, so nothing is approved on
the person's behalf. Dialects gain settleRequest for requests answered without asking anyone.

* fix(orchestration): worker-start opens a Grok worker in a terminal, as before

With the structured chat setting on, worker-start decided 'structured' for Grok and then the structured
worker factory (Claude and Codex only) refused it, so the start failed; main opened a terminal Grok
worker. Worker-start now decides with no registered agents beyond Claude and Codex, so Grok gets a
terminal worker as before. agent.launch and the app's own launches still open Grok as a structured
chat. Temporary until structured workers take registered agents.

* fix(acp): a prompt answer Orca can't read ends the turn instead of hanging it

A session/prompt rejection that was not the agent's own error answer (an answer that fails Orca's
schema, or one too large to read) left the turn running: the next message became a steer with nothing
to cancel and was never sent or settled, and Stop waited its full grace. As in the common pattern, any
prompt failure now ends the turn as failed (a failed-turn row without words, since none are the
agent's) and settles the send, so the next message goes. Only a closed connection keeps the send
running, for the connection-loss path to settle.

* feat(native-chat): add bounded RPC reading control

* fix(acp): send Grok's prompt-identity extension only to agents that echo it

session/prompt carried _meta {promptId, requestId} for every ACP agent, though only Grok's dialect
echoes it (injectedPromptIdentity). Now only an agent whose dialect declares it gets the extension;
other ACP agents get a plain prompt.

* refactor(native-chat): the registered-agents capability lives in protocol-version again, as on main

This reverts 0ef6d21. That commit moved the capability to its own module only because main's
protocol-version.ts was then one counted line over its limit; main now defines it there itself within
the limit, and main's new restart test imports it from there. Main's test also reads the desktop's
capability list as an older client; on this branch the desktop advertises registered agents, so its
older client is that list without this one capability.

* test(acp): read the sign-in method with a schema, not a type assertion

* refactor(native-chat): composer transport and Stop control in their own modules

Main's rewind change (#19338) brought NativeChatStructuredSession.tsx and use-structured-agent-session.ts
to their line limits, leaving no room for this branch's image-acceptance and unpublished-Stop lines.
The composer's transport (sends, commands, options, image acceptance) moves to
use-native-chat-structured-composer-transport.ts, and whether Stop shows and what it does moves to
structured-agent-session-stop-control.ts. Behavior is unchanged; the runtime cast on the composer's
'local' | 'remote' is now a typed return.

* test(native-chat): read registered agents by id, as main's structuredAgentsReadBy now takes

Main's A3 squash changed structuredAgentsReadBy to take agent ids; this branch's test still passed
{ agent } objects (CI typecheck TS2322).

* Add Pi structured chat over its native RPC mode

* Use shared provider spawn identity and base environment

* Complete Pi startup ownership and prompt delivery safeguards

* Use generic failure copy for Pi RPC sessions

* Admit finalized Pi output before session eviction

* Apply Pi client capability checks to all chat routes

* Keep older Pi versions on terminal chat

* Use supervised process support checks for Pi launches

* Complete the Pi location-test adapter fixture

* Retain the settled-work extraction in the main merge

* Use the settled-work module in the new reasoning sweep test

* Test that Pi prompt alerts skip clients that cannot read Pi

Main added prompt alerts to the turn-completion stream; the merge extended Pi's audience filter to them.

* Pin why a timed-out write closes the agent connection only once it is being written

A line still waiting in the queue is dropped and only its request fails, as before. A line already handed to the stream cannot be taken back and would hold every later write, a cancel included, so that timeout closes the connection; tests now cover both for the shared queue and for ACP.

* Type the prompt-alert fixture as the wire's prompt attention

Its host id is a branded type; the literal only checks under the wire type, as the completion fixture beside it does.

* Run the Pi launch-resolution test in the Node runtime project

It opens a real SQLite record store, which main's new boundary check now requires to run on Node.

* Pin that a Pi chat reopened after a restart resumes its stored session file

A fresh record store reading the journal back from disk must hand the launch the session file the chat proved before the restart, and the spawn must carry it as --session.

* Show an explicitly empty text answer as "Empty answer", not as unreadable

Live QA: answering a Pi input dialog with nothing (which Pi accepts) left the resolved card reading "Selected answer unavailable", the wording for an answer Orca cannot read. The receipt joined the answer's labels and text and turned an empty result into "no answer". It now keeps an answer whose text is present but empty (or whitespace) as an empty answer, shown as "Empty answer"; an answer naming neither text nor a known option still reads as unavailable.

Also pins that the editor dialog submits the text the user edited, not its prefill.

* refactor(pi): check and resolve Pi's binary through the shared version probe and command resolver

Pi's own `--version` runner and PATH lookup are gone. Create support and
every launch now resolve the binary through resolveStructuredAgentCommand,
so the Pi Command setting picks the binary both check and spawn, and an
unrunnable Command is refused at launch with agentCommandNotRunnable as for
the other agents. The version check runs through probeAgentCliVersion with
the same rule as before: stable 1.x of the current package; the older 0.x
package keeps the terminal chat. Pi's launch reads the shared per-agent
environment overlay and Command settings instead of Pi-only runtime deps.

* feat(pi): run stable Pi from 0.84.0 in the structured chat, not only 1.x
