#454: the behaviour the PR adds had no test, so a regression test drives
runGrok() at tabCount 3 and asserts three quick-start POSTs with sequential
w<n>-<case> names (verified to fail against master's session-ui.js). Each
caller now reads the count BEFORE its opening banner and announces it there,
the way runClaude() already did, so a launch no longer prints two headers and
a launch with another session already active still says how many are starting.
runClaude() calls the shared _readTabCount() instead of its own copy of the
1..20 clamp, and that helper optional-chains the element read, since hoisting
it above each caller's try block would otherwise let a missing #tabCount throw
where the launch-error path cannot report it.
#435: sizeMovedUnderLoad derived from data.source alone. `mux-visible` is not
sufficient: a failed display-message cursor query makes capturePaneBuffer skip
the snapshot repaint and return the raw capture, which the route still labels
mux-visible, so a size that moved during such a load bought a full forced
reload to repair a frame that was never positioned. It now tests
Number.isFinite(data.captureRows) like its two siblings.
Plus the invariants and CLAUDE.md lines promised on #435: a visible capture
reports its geometry and omits it when nothing was positioned, the comparison
runs on mux-visible only, and the replay is capped at one attempt and latches
per session when it cannot converge.

`resizeRetry` caps the recursion inside one select and says nothing about the
next one, so a pane this browser cannot size reported the same mismatch on
every select and bought the same failed repair each time: two fetches per tab
switch for the life of the page, measured as a running count of 2, 4, 6 across
three selects. That is the case this branch describes as happening every time
rather than occasionally, a phone whose resize `Session.resize` declines while a
desktop claim is live, and it is not the only one — any pane Codeman cannot size
lands there, including one a second tmux client is also holding. Each wasted
pass costs another `capture-pane`, which is `execSync` and blocks the server's
event loop, plus a reset and chunked rewrite, a discarded snapshot and cache
entry, and a dropped and reopened WebSocket.
`_geometryRetryUseless` mirrors the existing `_fullHistoryRepullUseless`: a
retry pass whose frame still does not fit adds the session, geometry that fits
removes it, and the replay gate consults it. The proof has to come from a retry
pass rather than a first one, because the retry ran at the size that stuck and
the pane ignored it. Clearing on a fitting frame is what stops a pane that
becomes sizeable again, once the desktop tab closes or its claim goes idle, from
staying permanently unrepaired. The race case never reaches the latch, since it
converges on its first attempt.
The new browser case walks all of that: three selects reading 2, 3, 4 instead of
2, 4, 6, then a fitting frame, then a mismatch diagnosed afresh. Without the
gate it fails on the second switch with `expected 4 to be 3`.
Rebased onto master, which has moved to 1.30.0 and taken #436. The one conflict
was `config/test-suites.ts`, where both branches appended a glob to
`BROWSER_TEST_GLOBS`; both are kept. Everything else merged clean, #436's own
changes to the same buffer-load path included.

On a touch device the characters the user has typed live only in the local-echo
overlay until Enter; they have never reached the PTY. The replay re-enters
`selectSession` with `forceReload` on the session that is still active, and that
branch nulled `activeSessionId` before `_cleanupPreviousSession` ran. The flush
there is guarded on a session it can still see, so it was skipped, and the
unconditional `_localEchoOverlay.clear()` that follows took the characters with
it. Measured in chromium against the previous head: typing into the overlay and
then making the call the replay makes left `pendingText` empty with nothing
crossing into the delivery layer on either transport.
The flush moves into `_flushLocalEchoTo(sessionId)`, called from both
`_cleanupPreviousSession` and the `forceReload` branch before it nulls the id.
The session is a parameter because the two callers mean different ones: cleanup
flushes to the tab being left, the branch to the tab being reloaded.
This was reachable before this branch, through the one gesture that already
takes the `forceReload` path on an active session. What is new is that nothing
the user does triggers it. The replay fires on its own the moment a tab switch
finishes, which is exactly when someone typing into a still-loading terminal has
text in the overlay, and on a phone beside an active desktop tab that is every
tab switch.
A seventh browser case pins it: it forces the overlay on, since headless
chromium reports no touch support and the case would otherwise pass vacuously,
asserts the typed characters really are sitting unsent, then triggers the replay
and asserts they reached the session. Without the fix it fails with nothing
delivered at all.

Three follow-ups to the source gate, each one measured rather than reasoned.
A pane already drawing at the size the client just requested is left alone. The
replay runs at `dimsAfterLoad`, so it can only change what is on screen if the
pane was drawing at some other size; when the reported geometry already IS that
size, the second pass captures the identical frame and pays a full reload to do
it, including a visible re-flash, a dropped and reopened WebSocket and a deleted
xterm snapshot. That equality is the signature of a clamp rather than a race:
`getTerminalDimensions()` floors at 40x10 while `fitAddon.fit()` does not, so a
terminal narrower than 40 columns or shorter than 10 rows reports a pane
permanently bigger than itself and replayed on every tab switch without ever
converging. A race never produces the equality, since its premise is that the
pane was still at the size it was asked to leave. The declined-resize case does
not produce it either, so that one still costs the single capped attempt and
needs the pane-ownership question this does not touch.
The full-history re-arm is unreachable and now says so. A pass that consumed the
flag sent `full=1`, and the route answers `full=1` with `mux-full-history` or
`history`, never `mux-visible`, so the source gate already rules out every such
pass. The line stays for the invariant, but its comment no longer reads as if a
page load retries, and the suite pins that it does not.
The response no longer reports geometry for a body that carries no capture. The
full-history path writes `capturedGeometry` from the cursor query and then
returns '' for a pane holding nothing visible, which drops the source to
`history` with the geometry already recorded: a `full=1` request whose capture
reported 100x50 and returned nothing answered `source: "history"` with both
fields set. Nothing acted on it, because the client ignores geometry on any
other source, but the field said a frame had been drawn at a size when none had.
The browser stub now derives `source` from the request the way the route does,
rather than answering `full=1` with `mux-visible`, which the route cannot
produce. Each case reaches a visible-frame response the way production does, by
not being the first select of the page. Three cases pin the new behaviour and
each fails without its guard: the clamp case sees two fetches instead of one,
the scope case and the full-history case both see a replay the gate forbids, and
the width case sees one fetch instead of two.
The changeset now describes the change from 1.29.x rather than the difference
between the two commits on this branch.

Only a visible-frame capture positions its rows absolutely, so only that frame
can be damaged by a terminal of the wrong size. A `full=1` body is linear
scrollback closed by a relative cursor move, which is relative precisely so the
browser's row count need not match the pane's, and a `history` body is the byte
stream, which carries no row alignment to protect. The geometry comparison ran
on all three, so it fired most often on the one response it cannot help:
`_fullHistoryLoaded` is empty on the first select of every non-shell session per
page, and a session whose pane a desktop tab holds too tall to ever fit then
paid a second whole-scrollback capture, reset and replay on every page load and
every first tab switch.
`framePositionsRowsAbsolutely` gates both the captured-geometry comparison and
`sizeMovedUnderLoad`. A size that moved under a byte-stream or scrollback replay
is healed by xterm's own reflow plus the SIGWINCH the trailing `sendResize`
already sends.
A pane WIDER than the terminal damages the same frame a second way, so
`captureCols` is now compared rather than only logged. `formatPaneSnapshot`
paints each row out to the pane's own width, so a narrower browser wraps every
painted row, and the wrap on the last one scrolls the whole frame up by a row.
The terminal response no longer falls back to `session.ptyCols`/`ptyRows` when
the capture reported no geometry. The cursor query is what produces the absolute
addressing in the first place, so a capture that lost it returned a raw frame
that was never positioned, and a byte-history response was never positioned
either. Naming the session's own PTY size there described a frame that does not
exist and invited a repair for damage that is not present. `_ptyCols` is also
written only by `resize()` while the PTY is spawned at the size queried from
tmux, so it can be wrong on its own terms. Both fields are now absent instead,
and the `Session` getters added for that fallback go with it.
Two browser cases cover the new behaviour and each fails without its fix: a
`mux-full-history` response with both dimensions mismatched asserts one fetch
(two without the gate), and a `mux-visible` response wider than the terminal
but short enough to fit asserts two (one without the width comparison).
Corrects a claim in the comment above `capturedGeometry` in tmux-manager.ts.
Both replay paths do not address rows absolutely; the full-history one ends in a
relative move, which is the whole reason the gate is right.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A visible-frame capture repaints each row at an absolute position, counting up
to the pane's height. A terminal shorter than that clamps every address past its
own height onto its last line. The overflow rows then overwrite one another, and
the rows underneath are lost. Replaying a real 50-row capture into a 30-row
terminal rendered 28 lines of a 45-line command and drew the frame twice.
Nothing in the response said what height the frame was built for, so the client
could not detect this. A capture now reports the geometry it was really taken at
through `capturedGeometry` on `PaneCaptureOptions`, and the terminal response
carries it as `captureCols` and `captureRows`. When the captured pane is taller
than the terminal, or the size that produced the capture did not survive the
load, `selectSession` replays once at the size that stuck. `resizeRetry` caps
that at one attempt, so two competing fits cannot trade replays forever.
The retry re-arms the full-history flag only when the pass that ran had consumed
it. A tab switch takes the bounded tail, so its retry takes the tail too:
clearing the flag unconditionally would upgrade that switch into a fresh
scrollback capture the user never asked for, which the route's own comments put
at tens of megabytes.
What this repairs is a capture that won a race against the resize meant to
precede it. It does not repair a capture whose pane was too tall because
`Session.resize` declined the resize outright, which it does for a small
viewport while a desktop viewport's size claim is live. The retry re-sends the
same declined resize and captures the same pane, and `resizeRetry` then stops
it. Repairing that means changing who owns the pane size, which is a policy
question this does not touch. The reported geometry still helps there, because
the client can see the mismatch at all rather than being blind to it.
Follows #395, #396 and #397, which fixed the other ways the replayed frame and
the terminal could disagree.

The four edits the review said would be folded in at merge, none of them
code: the changeset becomes one user-facing paragraph, since it is what
CHANGELOG.md and the release notes print; the `_bufferLoadFinishOpts` comment
now names the second contributor to the duplicate window (`captureActivePaneBuffer`
is `execSync`, so anything painted into the pane before the server read it is
in the capture and is broadcast after the reply) and says why a `history`
payload keeps the pre-existing discard when its exposure is the same; the
`_finishBufferLoad` doc block moves from above `_beginBufferLoad` onto the
function it documents; and the test file's header describes both rules the
file now pins instead of only COD-144.

A capture load now replays its queued tail, and that replay runs through
`batchTerminalWrite`, which samples `_wasAtBottomBeforeWrite` before it queues.
It runs inside `chunkedTerminalWrite`, before that promise resolves, with the
terminal freshly reset and rewritten — so the sample is always true. The caller
then restored the reader's position and the next `flushPendingWrites` scrolled
straight back to the bottom off the latched flag, undoing it. The only thing in
the way was `_hasRecentUserScrollUp()`, a 1500ms window a server-triggered
refresh is usually past.
`_syncStickyScrollBaseline()` re-takes the flag from wherever the viewport now
sits, and the two paths that restore a position call it right after doing so:
`_onSessionNeedsRefresh` and `_maybeRefetchFullHistory`. Those are the paths
#259 and #205 exist for, and they are also where a non-empty queue is most
likely, since a needsRefresh fires when output is flooding. Re-taking rather
than suppressing the sampling: suppressing leaves whatever stale value the flag
held from before the load, which on the full-history re-pull has no reason to
be false. `selectSession` and `_onSessionClearTerminal` deliberately end at the
bottom, so the sampled true is already the truth there and they do not call it.
`_bufferLoadFinishOpts` gains the coverage the CI gate can see: both mux
sources flush, `history` does not, and a payload naming no source does not.
Its only coverage was the browser suite, which CI does not run.
The JSDoc and the changeset now record the one duplicate window this cutoff
cannot close. The server appends output to the byte buffer in the same tick it
emits, but broadcasts on a batch timer — 8ms over WebSocket, 16 to 50ms over
SSE — so a batch pending when `capture-pane` ran leaves the server after the
reply and is replayed although the capture holds it. It is one batch interval
wide against a recovery window spanning the whole chunked write, and closing it
means flushing that batch server side before the capture.
The second browser test asserts its session was created, so a failed create
fails it instead of passing with zero hits.
docs/architecture-invariants.md no longer claims the replay leaves the
queued-event discard window alone. That clause now describes what decides how a
load ends, the baseline rule, the batch window, and the three covering tests.

The llama-swap conflict check on the apply/create routes only ever runs
at THAT session's own launch/apply moment, and cannot see a swap caused
by a DIFFERENT session's later, ordinary use. Confirmed live: a second
Codex session picking a different model launched with no warning at
all — nothing conflicted at that exact instant — yet it silently
evicted the first session's model regardless (llama.cpp runs one model
at a time). Reproduced and root-caused via direct API calls against a
live test-picker instance rather than guessing.
- detectCustomModelSwapDisplacements() (custom-model-routes.ts): groups
live sessions with a customModel by endpointId, checks each group's
endpoint via GET /running once, and flags a session whose own modelId
is no longer in the running list. Read-only, best-effort per endpoint
like refreshAllCustomModelHosts's sibling sweep.
- Notifies once per displacement via a caller-owned de-dupe Set: a
session id is added when displaced, removed once its own model is
loaded/ready again, so a later genuinely-new displacement can notify
again.
- New periodic sweep in server.ts (CUSTOM_MODEL_SWAP_CHECK_INTERVAL_MS,
20s — much shorter than the 5-minute model-list refresh, since this
is time-sensitive) broadcasts a new custom-model:swapped-out SSE
event per displacement. De-dupe Set cleared per-session on session
cleanup to avoid an unbounded leak.
- Frontend: global toast (not tied to the displaced session's tab,
since the point is warning before the user types into it) naming the
session, its previous model, and what's currently loaded.
Chose the "detect after the fact" scope (vs. checking before every
message send, which would add a round-trip to every turn on every
custom-model session) per explicit user decision after being presented
the trade-off.
9 new tests for the detection logic (flag/clear/re-flag cycle,
unreachable/deleted endpoints, non-llama-swap servers, multiple
sessions on one endpoint). SSE registry bumped 158->159, parity test
passing. Typecheck/lint/frontend-syntax clean; full suite shows no new
regressions (9 more passing than baseline, matching the new tests;
same pre-existing Windows-environment failures).

Fifteen findings from two independent reviews of #442, three of them
blocking. Every one is addressed here.
The three blockers all sat in the restore route. A rebuild that threw after
addSession left a registered session with no pane behind it, visible on the
board, holding a layout slot and written to state.json, with its plan entry
already spent; the catch now cleans the session up and puts the entry back.
The loop checked neither the global nor the per-user session cap, so one
click could take a board past a documented limit; capacity is now re-checked
per iteration, because the loop is itself creating the sessions it counts.
Worst of the three, a rebuilt session carried none of the state its
constructor has no parameter for and then persisted itself over the record
that held it, zeroing token and cost totals and dropping the pin. The pin
matters most: pruning keeps a record only while it is pinned, so discarding
it handed the record to the next stale sweep. A new
reapplyPersistedSessionState() on the session port restores the pin, the
token totals, auto-compact, auto-clear, auto-resume, nice priority, the
flicker filter and the custom-model selection, and it runs before both
startInteractive and the first persist.
The rest, in the order they bite a user. Every rebuild failure was reported
as workspace-missing, so the banner told users their repo was gone when the
agent had simply failed to start; there are now distinct reasons, and the
toast names each one. The client read restored and skipped off the outer
response object rather than through the uniform envelope, so every count
came back zero and neither toast ever fired. A board left open across the
reboot never learned an offer existed, because the banner was seeded only on
the page-load path; it now re-reads on every SSE init. The workspace check
was existence-only, skipping the multi-user confinement that the create
route applies, so a withdrawn grant would not be noticed. The banner had no
phone breakpoint while its text was nowrap and its buttons could not shrink.
Smaller: a missing workspace is now re-offered rather than dropped, while an
already-open conversation is dropped rather than re-offered forever; a throw
anywhere in the route returns the unspent entries instead of discarding the
plan; the single flight is keyed by owner, since take() already stops two
callers receiving one entry; the env clamp's header no longer claims a
protection it cannot provide on this path today, and names the check that
does bite; the three endpoints are documented in docs/api-reference.md; and
the module header now says that os.uptime() reads the host's clock, so the
feature is effectively off inside a container.
The review also explained why the tests missed all of this: they proved the
construction claim through their own copy of the construction rather than
through the route, and the route tests used workspaces that did not exist,
so no Session was ever built. test/routes/reboot-restore-rebuild-failure.ts
mocks the Session module to drive the route's real path, and covers the
cleanup, the reason reported, the re-application ordering, the broadcast and
the caps. The mock route context gains the port method and the mux call the
route needs.

A host reboot takes the tmux server down with it, so every pane dies,
reconciliation finds nothing to attach to, and the board comes up empty.
Picking yesterday's work back up meant finding each conversation in history
and resuming it by hand, one at a time.
The boot pass now works out what the reboot killed and leaves it on offer.
It runs inside restoreMuxSessions(), in the window where reconciliation has
reported the dead sessions and cleanupStaleSessions() has not pruned their
records yet, which is the only place the records can still be read. The
board shows a banner, and nothing is created until the user clicks it.
A click rather than an automatic restore is what makes the reboot heuristic
acceptable. The heuristic cannot tell a reboot from a crash that took tmux
down inside the same window, so it decides whether to ASK, never whether to
act: a wrong yes costs a line of text the user dismisses instead of N CLI
processes nobody asked for.
Four things are re-checked when the click arrives rather than trusted from
boot, because hours can pass and the board moves on. The owner's privilege
grant re-resolves through the env clamp. The workspace must still be on
disk. A conversation the user already resumed by hand from the Resume list
is skipped, since two panes running --resume on one conversation would
fight over the same transcript. Entries leave the plan synchronously before
the first await, and the route is single-flighted, so a double-click or two
devices cannot both reach the same entry.
A restored session comes back attached, idle and disarmed. Respawn
controllers and Ralph loops are deliberately not re-armed: a machine that
just came up is the worst moment to turn an autonomous run loose. Its
workspace hooks are installed by the restore route itself, because the
boot-time sweep sits behind a gate that is false after a reboot and has
finished long before the click; without them a session goes silently blind,
with no stop or idle events for respawn, no Approvals Inbox item and no red
tab on a blocking dialog. Stats collection starts the same way.
The pane is new, so the conversation continues and the terminal scrollback
does not. The banner says so rather than letting an empty pane read as a
broken restore.
The plan lives in memory only. A server restart drops it, which costs the
convenience this adds and never the conversation: the conversation is the
transcript under ~/.claude/projects, which the Welcome screen's Resume list
and the Session Manager already read, so a dropped plan returns the user to
resuming by hand.
clampEnvOverridesForOwner moves to src/session-env-clamp.ts, since the
question it answers is about session privilege rather than about HTTP and
it now has a caller outside the route layer. Its test hook stays re-exported
from session-routes.ts.
Claude sessions only for this pass. The other CLIs name their thread in
their own config object, which this does not thread through yet. Remote and
docker sessions are skipped on purpose, because both need another host or a
container to be up and a freshly booted machine cannot promise either.

Live terminal events are queued while a buffer load runs, and the load discards
that queue when it ends. That is right when the loaded buffer is the server's
accumulated byte history. The route appends to that history right up to the
moment it serializes the response, so a queued event already appears in it and
replaying it would duplicate output, most visibly Ink's cursor-up redraws.
A tmux pane capture is a photograph, current only as of the instant
`capture-pane` ran. Output printed afterwards was queued and then dropped, and
nothing scheduled a re-fetch to recover it: `_onSessionNeedsRefresh` is wired
only to the 128KB overflow path. The CLI's next partial redraw then landed on a
frame the terminal never received.
How much went missing depended on which capture the route served. A `?full=1`
load returns the capture alone, with no history in front of it, so it lost
everything from the capture to the end of the chunked write. A `?tail=` load
returns history, a clear, and then the capture, and the route reads that history
after the capture, so it lost everything from the response to the end of that
write. The chunked write dominates either way. An agent CLI hides the loss on
its next full redraw; a shell session does not, because its output is linear and
nothing repaints it.
Queue entries now carry their arrival time, and `_finishBufferLoad` takes a
`since` cutoff, so a capture load replays exactly the tail that arrived after
the response headers. The earlier events stay dropped, because a payload that
carries history does hold those.
All four paths that fetch a terminal buffer and write it now decide this the
same way, through one `_bufferLoadFinishOpts` helper, so they cannot drift
apart: `selectSession`, `_onSessionNeedsRefresh`, `_onSessionClearTerminal` and
`_maybeRefetchFullHistory`. The second of those is the one that stings. It
exists to restore output the client already dropped once under backpressure, and
it was dropping more output while performing that recovery. The cache-hit write
inside `selectSession` stays on discard deliberately: it runs before the fetch,
so its queue holds only events the capture that follows already contains.
Two further things had to change for that tail to still exist when the load
ends, and a browser test is what found both. `chunkedTerminalWrite` is what ends
the load for every non-empty buffer, so the flush policy travels to its own
finish calls; the call in `selectSession` runs only when the write was skipped.
`_beginBufferLoad` no longer empties the queue when one load re-enters it, which
it does on every write, because that reset discarded the whole fetch window
before anything could replay it.
The response already distinguishes the sources. `source` reads `mux-visible` or
`mux-full-history` for a capture and `history` for the byte stream.
Follows #395, #396 and #397, which fixed the ways the replayed frame itself
could disagree with the terminal.

Reported as 'the tab shows no banner' while the host was verifiably unreachable: the
banner only started polling from selectSession, which RETURNS EARLY for the tab you
are already on (so a page loaded with the remote tab active never polled), and a
long-lived tab keeps running the JS it loaded — the feature was invisible to anyone
who did not switch tabs after the deploy.
The poller is now page-wide: one interval (created on init and on the first session
switch), re-targeted whenever the active session changes, plus a visibilitychange
wake-up. It no longer depends on any single selection path running.
Also adds test/sse-dispatch-table.test.ts: a static guard that every
[SSE_EVENTS.X, '_onFoo'] entry names an event constants.js defines AND a handler some
module defines. Both halves fail silently (a typo'd constant is an undefined table
key; a renamed handler just never runs), which is exactly how a new banner can never
appear with no error anywhere.
The reactive wake (typing into a session whose host slept) left the state invisible:
nothing told the user the machine was asleep, and with no wake target configured
there was nothing to do about it. Adds:
- RemoteHost.wakeMac (comma-separated) - Codeman builds and broadcasts the magic
packet itself (UDP port 9), so the common case needs no external script. The
existing wakeCommand stays as the explicit override.
- GET /api/sessions/:id/reachability - probes (throttled, cached, and it never
wakes) and reports HOW the host can be woken, or that nothing is configured.
- POST /api/sessions/:id/wake - wakes, waits, reattaches the pane and flushes
buffered input; 400 with a routable message when no target is configured.
- The amber host-unreachable banner + its 'Wake' / 'Configure WoL' action, and a
small config dialog that saves via PUT /api/remote-hosts/:id.
- RemoteWakeDeps.resolveRemote: host config is re-resolved for LIVE sessions
(throttled + cached), so saving the dialog takes effect without a restart.
A durable remote session survives SSH drops (COD-104/108), but nothing brought
the HOST back: after the remote machine suspended, the local tmux pane's ssh
child stalled silently and `send-keys` SUCCEEDS against it, so typed input
vanished with no error anywhere.
Add an optional per-host `wakeCommand` (Wake-on-LAN wrapper, e.g. whuff) that
the input route runs when a wake-enabled host is unreachable: input is buffered,
the host is woken, the pane is reattached, and the buffer is flushed in order.
Detection is a throttled bare TCP probe on wake-enabled hosts only, and only
REAL user input may wake a host - the auto-reconnect watcher and boot recovery
deliberately cannot, or the host would be re-woken seconds after every suspend
and could never stay asleep.
handleInit() did not distinguish a first load from an SSE reconnect: it always
cleared the terminal caches in _resetAllAppState() and re-ran selectSession() for
the session that was already on screen. Every reconnect therefore refetched up to
1 MiB of buffer and reset+rewrote xterm. On a link that drops a connection about
once a minute (measured at ~57s intervals against a healthy server) that reads as
the page refreshing itself and throwing away your reading position.
A reconnect that lands back on the still-open session now keeps the terminal
caches and activeSessionId and resyncs through _onSessionNeedsRefresh(). That
path still reloads the buffer, so output produced during the outage is not lost,
but it preserves distance-from-bottom — the same rule #259 established for a
refresh the server triggered rather than the user. The WS is reconnected
explicitly when it is not already on that session, since skipping selectSession()
skips its _connectWs() call.
First load (gen === 1) takes exactly the path it took before.

(cherry picked from commit 435569c76e)
Browser input is delivered exactly once by (clientId, seq). The server records a
watermark per clientId and discards anything not above it as a duplicate — but
acknowledged it with an ACK indistinguishable from "applied". The client then
dropped the record from its queue, the UI looked perfectly normal, and the
terminal received nothing at all.
The counter is persisted to localStorage through a debounced write. Kill the page
between "sent" and "persisted" and the restored counter is below the server's
watermark, after which every keystroke lands under it, is discarded, and is
ACKed. Reloading does not help: the clientId is restored from localStorage
alongside that stale counter. Measured on a real session — typing into the same
session from a fresh browser (new clientId, no watermark on the server) worked
perfectly, which is what localised the fault to client state.
Three changes:
- on rejection the server replies {"t":"ia",seq,"dup":true,"last":<watermark>}.
It still ACKs, so the client can drop the record from its queue, but it now
says the input was not applied and supplies the number needed to climb out.
- on `dup` the client lifts its counter above the watermark and re-queues.
⚠️ Only records whose FIRST delivery is being retried are re-sent: a retry
judged duplicate means the mechanism is working (the original did arrive), and
re-sending would type the same text twice.
- the counter is now persisted synchronously. The queue payload can stay
debounced, but the counter is the thing that has to survive a crash, and
leaving it on the lossiest path cancels the only guarantee there is.
⚠️ Reading the watermark is defensive: the session arrives through a structured
port, and a port missing that method must not take the whole input path down —
a throw inside the handler means the ACK is never sent and the record is stuck in
the client queue forever, which is worse than the ambiguity being fixed. A mock
port's test timeout is what exposed this.

A Fable 5.1 reviewer read the whole release diff against 1.26.2 and returned
SHIP WITH FIXES. These are its findings, verified before acting on each.
**The changelog advertised a feature the code refuses (major).** The #401
changeset and docs/web-tabs.md both listed `*.localhost` in the loopback set.
The follow-up in 02b0e278 moved it out of the auto-route set on security
grounds and updated CLAUDE.md but neither of those, and that changeset becomes
the 1.27.0 CHANGELOG entry: a user would have read the release notes, tapped
`http://app.localhost:3000/` on a phone and got a connection error from a
documented feature. Both corrected, and the user guide now says why it is
excluded and that adding such a dashboard by hand still works.
**Dictation delivered its text twice (minor, #388).** `keydownSnapshot` started
`null`, so `keydownSnapshot ?? canonicalCount` at the input event read a counter
xterm had ALREADY bumped: on a fresh page load with no keydown yet, xterm's own
capture listener forwards the `insertText` itself (it is not gated behind a
keydown), then the snapshot equals the bumped count, `count > snapshot` is
false, and the controller emits the same text again. Reproduced directly
against the module: it emitted `hello` for input xterm had already delivered.
A `0` baseline restores that file's own invariant, that a missed recovery is
acceptable and a duplicated keystroke is not. Two regression tests, covering
both the xterm-already-delivered and genuinely-dropped halves.
**The sorted rail's arrow-key walk followed the DOM (minor).** `_tabKeydownHandler`
steps `querySelectorAll` order, which is `sessionOrder`, while a sorted rail
paints its rows with the flex `order` property, so ArrowDown from the top card
landed wherever that session happened to sit in the tab order. It now sorts its
node list by the COMPUTED order first: computed rather than inline, because web
tabs take their `order: 9999` from CSS and would otherwise read as 0 and lead
the walk. This is the one place that follows the paint; the Alt+N badge, the
drag model and the filter all still deliberately read the DOM.
**A trusted dashboard was auto-reused by a tapped link (minor, #401).** The
reuse loop skipped `managed` and direct-mode records but not `trusted`. A
trusted frame is mounted with `allow-same-origin`, i.e. on Codeman's origin
with the user's cookie, and these links come from agent output, which is the
threat model the loopback allowlist was just narrowed for. An agent that can
write into the dev server's tree could print a path that one tap opens inside
that privileged frame. Excluded from auto-reuse, with a test; opening it from
the Run dropdown is still an explicit action and unchanged.
**Two documentation claims that were no longer true.** CLAUDE.md said
test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts pins every remote pane command, but
remote claude and remote omp now have their own arm in `buildRemoteLaunchCommand`
and never reach `defaultRemoteCommandForMode`, which is what that test asserts,
so it pins nothing for them and changing either arm will not fail it. Named the
real pins instead. Also documented the arrow-key-walk exception in the rail
paragraph.
Left as follow-ups, deliberately: `POST /api/webviews` does not dedupe by URL
server-side, so two devices tapping one link concurrently can still save two
dashboards for one origin (pre-existing endpoint behaviour that #401 makes
reachable by a tap), and the location-overlay golden should assert the real
remote claude/omp commands rather than a branch neither reaches.
Full gate green: 359 files, 6869 tests.

The vertical rail lists exactly the sessions both home screens list, so it now
answers their question the same way instead of showing the raw tab order.
Order: new per-device `tabRailSort` (App Settings -> Appearance -> Tabs ->
Vertical Rail Order, default "By activity"). It runs `CodemanSessionOrder` over
rows classified by `_mobileOverviewState`, i.e. literally the home screens'
comparator, `lastSubmitAt`-anchored running group included.
It is applied as the flex `order` property, never by reordering the DOM.
`#sessionTabs` stays in `sessionOrder`, which is what keeps the Alt+N badge
honest (it names a shortcut, not a row position, so it deliberately does NOT
run 1,2,3 down a sorted rail), and keeps drag-and-drop, the arrow-key walk, the
sidebar filter and `_scrollActiveTabIntoView()` all reading the list they
always read. A session changing state then moves one inline style instead of
forcing the full rebuild that would restart every card's animation on every SSE
tick. The incremental render path re-applies it, since a state flip adds no tab
and never reaches the full rebuild, and an empty string is what clears it when
sorting stops. Web tabs are pinned past the cards by a CSS `order: 9999`, since
`renderWebviewTabs()` emits the same markup for every layout and the flex
default of 0 would interleave them. Drag is switched off while sorting (the
drop rewrites `sessionOrder` correctly and the sort puts the card straight
back, so the affordance would be a lie); 'manual' is the way back.
Cards: detailed rail rows become bordered cards on `--bg-card`, with the stamps
line on its own full-width row and the pill at its right end. The state dot
goes 6px to 9px, keeps its orbiting ring while working and gains the green
halo; idle mutes toward `--text-muted` as the home rail does. Needs/error/
waiting reuse `home-sessions-blink-red`/`-yellow` rather than a second copy.
These card rules are RAIL-SCOPED and deliberately absent from the comma-grouped
selectors that carry both vertical surfaces: the rail is an occasional,
resizable list you scan, while the sidebar is a permanently-docked nav column
where 20 stacked cards read as a wall. Every state-dot rule also excludes
`.tab-alert-action`/`.tab-alert-idle` by hand, because those alert rules are
only (0,3,0) and these are (0,5,1)+.
Lines: the lineage bracket already drew in the rail, but its track sat 6px from
the left edge, so half of its 11px outer glow was clipped by the window frame
and it read as a thread pinned to the frame. It now runs at 10px, mid-channel
in the gutter the rail already reserves.
Tests: test/tab-rail-order.test.ts (17) drives the real `isTabRailSorted()` and
`_tabRailSortOrder()` out of app.js, covering the row model (a WORKING row
ranked by `lastSubmitAt`, which would otherwise rank every running turn as
freshly started and fail no rendering test), the Alt+N badge, and the opt-out.
Verified in Chromium across sorted/manual/simple/header-strip/sidebar with the
setting flipped at runtime: no page errors, and the header strip and sidebar
render byte-identically to before.

Each item is from the pre-merge review of the PR it names, applied on master
rather than by pushing to a contributor branch.
#400 (response viewer, shenlvkang-collab)
- The brief view opened at `scrollTop = 0`, right when it was a single card
holding the last row. Now that it renders the whole turn, the top is the
turn's first narration line and the answer can be screens below it, while
loadFullContext already scrolls to the bottom of the same turn. A multi-row
turn now opens at its newest text; a single card still opens at the top.
#401 (loopback links as web tabs, shenlvkang-collab)
- Drop `*.localhost` from the auto-route set. Every other member is an address
literal that can only mean this box; a `*.localhost` DNS name is not one, and
a resolver with a search domain retries `evil.localhost` as
`evil.localhost.<search domain>`. The link source is agent-written terminal
output, so that set is the whole confinement on a tap that makes Codeman
fetch a URL server-side and persist it. The page-side test stays broader
(`isOnBoxHostname`), where a false positive only declines to proxy.
- A link to the origin root navigated nothing: the path was flattened to '',
which openWebview reads as "no deep link", leaving an open frame where it was.
- `this.webviews` being set does not mean it is loaded. initWebviews() assigns a
truthy empty map and only then awaits the list, so a tap during page load
found nothing to reuse and POSTed a duplicate record. Join the in-flight
refresh instead.
- One dashboard per dev server rather than per host spelling, which is what the
method's own comment already promised.
- Toast on the auto-create: it writes webviews.json, broadcasts over SSE and
adds a Run-dropdown row on every signed-in device, with a new tab as its only
previous signal.
#362 (remote omp continuation, timkjr)
- Accept the allowlisted `mode === 'omp'` arm as-is; a blanket registry render
would hand deepseek a locally-resolved --profile and bypass claude's own
overlay. A registry-declared switch is the follow-up if a third mode needs it.
- Revert the whole-file Prettier reformat of docs/remote-sessions.md (docs/ is
hand-formatted and outside `npm run format`), keeping only the two new
sections.
- Correct three stale passages: architecture-invariants' `exec claude
--dangerously-skip-permissions`, the `exec <cli>` paragraph (claude and omp
now have their own arms, and the claude pane's PID is the login shell), and
omp-integration's `-c 'omp'`. RemoteCommandMode gains deepseek and omp.
- Add the missing `_maybeCaptureOmpSessionId` remote-guard test; the sibling
guard in `_pinOmpRespawnId` had one and this path runs earlier, on the first
idle turn.
#388 (keyCode 229 recovery, aakhter)
- Gate notifyCanonicalData on shouldSuppressTerminalQueryResponse and
isTerminalFocusOrMouseReport. onData also carries the DA/DSR/CPR/OSC replies
xterm answers during Ink redraws and its SGR mouse and focus reports; any of
those landing between the keydown and the candidate's resolution was read as
"xterm spoke for this keystroke", standing the recovery down and leaving the
character dropped, worst on a busy agent pane. Reached through
window.CodemanTerminalInput: the predicates live in a module IIFE that closes
long before this call site, so bare references would throw into the
surrounding try/catch and stop the notify from ever running.
Every fix has a test that fails without it (verified by reverting each).
Full gate green on the combined tree: 358 files, 6849 tests.

An agent prints `http://localhost:5173/` (a dev server, a preview it just
served) and the user taps it on a phone. That address only exists on the
Codeman box, so the link was a guaranteed connection error from any other
device — while the web-tab proxy fetches from the server, where it works.
A loopback link (`localhost`, `*.localhost`, 127/8, 0.0.0.0, ::1) activated
in the terminal or clicked in the Response Viewer now opens as a proxied
web tab whenever the Codeman page itself is not on that box. A saved
proxied dashboard on the same origin is reused, with the link's own path,
query and fragment opened inside it (a mounted frame is navigated, not torn
down, so its state survives); otherwise one is saved under its host:port,
sandboxed like any other web tab, so it is in the Run dropdown next time.
Only loopback is routed this way. A LAN or tailnet address may well be
reachable from the device (a VPN, the same Wi-Fi) and a direct open is the
cheaper, richer path, so those keep opening in a new browser tab; on the
box itself every link opens directly. The terminal link provider and the
viewer's click handler consult one hook and fall through to their existing
behaviour when it declines.

The eye button rendered `data.text`, which is one row: the last assistant
row of the transcript. A Claude answer is a median of 3 model messages
(p90 11) split around tool calls, so the brief view usually showed the tail
of an answer ("Done.", "Let me look.") and the substance appeared only after
More. The full view was fine, which is why the brief one read as broken by
comparison.
The brief view now asks `?context=turn`. The reader answers with the
assistant messages of the last ANSWERED turn (`selectLastAnsweredTurn`: the
highest `turn` that has an assistant row, so a prompt queued after the
answer does not blank the view) and the frontend renders them exactly as
the full view renders that turn: one badge, then continuation segments,
gated on the numeric `turn` as before.
`data.text` is unchanged in every context — still the last assistant row,
never `messages.at(-1)` — because agent pollers hash it. Readers that emit
no turns (Codex, the pane parser, DeepSeek, an older server) return `text`
only for `context=turn`, and the brief view keeps its single card for them.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01McLWqCWBuQYGuPMScb4Aou
Review of the previous commit found that waiting for the font does not, on its
own, do anything.
`FitAddon.proposeDimensions()` measures nothing — it divides the container by a
CACHED cell size, and xterm refreshes that cache only from `open()`, from a
resize that actually changed the grid, and on a device-pixel-ratio change.
Nothing in it listens for font loading. So a fit that runs after the font
arrives can still divide by the fallback cell, propose the grid it already has,
and short-circuit before anything re-measures. The wait now ends by calling
`_charSizeService.measure()` itself, which is the step that makes the following
fit see the real font. Private API, as FitAddon's own dependency on `_core` is,
and guarded because a terminal can be disposed mid-wait.
The wait was also unbounded, and it sat behind the buffer-load gate. Neither
`FontFaceSet.load()` nor `FontFaceSet.ready` has a deadline, so a font request
that never settled left the tab spinning with live output queued behind it —
permanently, and on every session, since they share one promise. The comment
claimed the opposite ("a font that never loads must not block the terminal, so
this always resolves"), which was true of the per-face loads and false of
`ready`. It is now raced against TERMINAL_FONT_WAIT_MS, and the await moved
ahead of `_beginBufferLoad` so a slow font cannot hold output back at all —
which also removes the stale-select interaction with `_restoringFlushedState`,
since that flag is not yet set when the wait runs.
The awaited set no longer includes faces that cannot move the measured cell.
The bundled symbols font is ~1.2MB of private-use-area glyphs and xterm
measures `W`, so awaiting it put a megabyte in front of the first frame for
nothing; the generic families match no FontFace at all.
A runtime font change had the same race the boot-time one did:
applyTerminalFontFamily wrote the new family and fit on the next line, against
a family the browser might not have loaded. It now re-arms the wait and fits
again when it settles.
The claim that this could not be tested was wrong: the repo's vm harness
reaches both halves. The new suite pins the family filter, the forced
re-measure, the deadline, a rejecting load, a browser with no font API, and a
terminal disposed mid-wait — plus the four ordering properties in
selectSession, including that iOS Safari's synchronous focus still precedes the
first await. Each assertion was checked by reverting its fix.
Also corrects the docstring's reason for calling `document.fonts.load` (the
stylesheet is render-blocking and long parsed by then; the real reason is that
the WebGL renderer rasterises through a canvas atlas, and canvas text never
triggers a CSS font fetch), restores the JSDoc block the previous commit
displaced from getTerminalDimensions, and fixes a comment that described the
first fit as already having run when the mobile-Safari branch defers it.
Review of the previous commit found four defects in it.
The guard sat above the local fit, so it suppressed a reflow as well as the
server write. tab-rail-resize performs its single settle-time refit through
sendResize and has no fallback for a truthy activeSessionId, so dragging the
rail stopped reflowing a detached session's terminal in the dashboard. The
mobile-keyboard guard fourteen lines below already draws the line correctly —
withhold the send, never the reflow — and the guard now sits after the fit.
_lastResizeDims is one value for the whole window, and both guards skip
updating it, so while a popup owns a session that value no longer describes
the PTY. _redock repaired it only for the active session. Pop out A, switch to
B, close the popup: selecting A later found unchanged dimensions, returned
"unchanged", and selectSession skipped its 400ms redraw wait — while the
server, comparing against the real pane, did resize and did raise SIGWINCH, so
the fetch painted the pre-redraw frame. _redock now clears the record on every
path, active or not.
_redock could also fire a resize for a session already gone: _onSessionDeleted
redocks before cleanup, so the id can be dead and the request is a guaranteed
404. It now checks the session still exists.
restoreTerminalSize — the header's redraw button and Ctrl+Shift+R — silently
did nothing for a detached session while still reporting success with
dimensions nothing was set to. It now says the session is sized by its own
window, where the same button works.
The `force` comment claimed a client-side dedupe that does not exist; the
deduplication is server-side against the real pane. Corrected to say what the
flag actually buys. The _redock doc comment now records that the function
writes to the server and is not idempotent.
Tests: _redock was the untested half and is the half three of these defects
sit in. It now has coverage for clearing the stale record on both the active
and inactive paths, re-asserting only for the session being shown, and staying
silent for a deleted session. The existing sendResize test now asserts the
local fit still runs.
Opening a session could render its frame with characters spliced into each
other, as though two frames were overlaid — a status-line fragment landing
in the middle of a file path, for instance. Resizing the browser window
cleared it.
The first fit runs while the browser is still painting with a fallback font.
A cell measured against that font has a different width and height from one
measured against the terminal font, so the fit produces the wrong column and
row count. Codeman sizes the pane to it and replays the capture. When the
font finishes loading the measurement changes, the pane is resized a second
time, and the CLI repaints for a shape that does not match the frame already
on screen. Its later partial updates then land on the wrong rows.
selectSession now waits for the font before it measures, so the pane is
sized once, at the size that sticks, and the capture is taken at that size.
The wait always resolves, so a font that never loads cannot block a
terminal, and it resolves immediately once the font is in, so a tab switch
pays nothing after the first load.
document.fonts.ready alone is not enough: it can resolve before the
stylesheet declaring @font-face has been parsed. document.fonts.load for
each family in the stack is what actually requests the faces.
Measured on a session opening at 2328px wide: the cell went from 8.43x16.00
to 8.00x21.00 roughly 900ms in, moving the grid from 112x36 to 118x28 after
the replay had already been painted.
Popping a session out left both windows sizing the same pane. The dashboard
keeps the session active and keeps measuring it, and its terminal is
narrower than the popup because the session rail takes width the popup does
not have. One PTY cannot hold two sizes, so the CLI drew frames that fit
neither window and the popup showed a garbled frame.
sendResize and the debounced window-resize handler now stand aside for a
session this window has marked detached. A solo window is exempt, since it
is the owner. _maybeRefetchFullHistory already stood aside on exactly this
condition, so the rule is not a new one.
Sizing has to come back when the popup closes: while it owned the session
the dashboard sent no resizes, so the PTY still holds the popup's geometry.
_redock now re-asserts, with force, because the dimensions the dashboard
last sent are the ones it is about to send again.
Reproduced with a dashboard and a popup on one session: before, the pane
sat at 315 columns while the popup rendered 289. After, both report the
same size and the popup's frame matches the pane exactly.
The merge-time items from the #381 review. navigator.sendBeacon is not fetch,
so the base-aware wrapper never saw the two crash-diag beacons and a sub-path
install posted them to the origin root every two seconds. The test suite now
strips CODEMAN_BASE_URL like CODEMAN_GESTURE, since the constructor reads it
as a fallback and an operator who exports it would see the root-install
byte-identity assertions fail. test/base-path-server.test.ts boots a real
WebServer under /codeman and checks the ingress strip, the base injection,
the rebased redirects, the 404 envelope and a prefixed WebSocket upgrade.

Codeman can now be mounted under a sub-path behind a reverse proxy that
forwards the prefix unchanged (e.g. https://host/codeman/). Default is `/`
(root), which is byte-identical to the historical behavior.
Design — few choke points, mirrored ingress/egress:
- src/config/base-path.ts: pure single-source normalize/validate/join/strip.
- Server ingress: stripBasePath() inside Fastify rewriteUrl, so routes stay
declared prefix-agnostic; un-prefixed requests (hooks, health, docker bridge
hitting the raw port) pass through unchanged.
- Server egress: one onSend hook prepends the base to root-absolute Location
headers (covers all redirects).
- HTML: renderIndexHtml points <base href> at the mount and injects
window.__CODEMAN_BASE__ — ONLY when a base is set (inert at root).
- Frontend runtime URLs: CodemanBase.url() route builder in constants.js,
applied transparently by a fetch wrapper and explicitly at the
EventSource/WebSocket/window.open/<img|iframe|a>-src sites.
- sw.js derives its base from self.location; manifest uses relative start_url/scope.
- Web-tab proxy: proxyPrefixFor(cap, basePath) is the single base-aware root that
cascades to the injected <base>, HTML/attr rewrites, runtimeUrlShim, Set-Cookie
Path and Location; capabilityFromReferer strips the base off the browser Referer,
while the ingress parsers stay base-agnostic (rewriteUrl already stripped it).
--base-url rides the daemon relaunch (buildWebArgs) and the service unit
(resolveServicePlan). constants.js is guarded against a missing `window` for
isolated unit-test contexts.
Tests: test/base-path.test.ts (pure helpers), base-path coverage in
webview-proxy/render-index-html/daemon-control; CodemanBase stubbed in the
vm-isolated panels-ui test contexts. Docs: Remote-Access.md (sub-path section +
nginx example), security-architecture.md env table, CLAUDE.md pattern.

The header chip silently shrank from "5h 4% · 7d 52%" to a lone "7d 52%", which
reads as half the feature breaking rather than as an idle window.
Nothing was broken. Claude Code documents `rate_limits.five_hour` as "present
only while the API reports it and its resets_at has not passed", so between
5-hour session windows the key simply leaves the statusline payload. Codeman's
snapshot replaces the Claude half wholesale on every sample, so the segment
disappeared until usage opened a new window. Confirmed against a live 2.1.252
session by capturing real statusline payloads on an isolated tmux socket: the
boot render carries no `rate_limits` at all, and the first post-response render
carries both windows.
The slot now stays, with a dimmed em dash. Claude only: a missing CODEX bucket
means that plan has no such limit rather than an idle window, so those stay
omitted (pinned by the existing test). The placeholder can never stand alone
either — hasWindows() still gates the row, so a provider reporting nothing
renders nothing rather than a row of dashes. The tooltip says "5-hour limit: no
active session window" instead of dropping the line.
Verified in a real browser against a dev instance: the idle chip renders
"5h — · 7d 52%" with the dash at opacity 0.55 in --text-dim while the live
value keeps its green, and the chip holds its shape (100px idle vs 107px with
both windows).
The Claude reader concatenated every assistant row between two human prompts
into one card, fusing up to 74 distinct model messages into a single card, and
it never read the attachment rows that hold a prompt typed while the agent was
working. Measured over 57 real transcripts on 2026-09-01, the viewer shows
1,806 messages instead of 356 and 353 user cards instead of 178, with the
assistant text sequence unchanged row for row and the response without
?context=full byte-identical on all 57 files.
One assistant row IS one whole model message: in that corpus no assistant row
carries more than one content block and no message id carries more than one
text block, so there was nothing to reassemble. Each row becomes its own
message carrying an additive {kind, label, turn}, and the frontend renders a
same-role run inside one turn as badge-less continuation segments — which is
what keeps a p90 of 11 messages per turn from reading as card spam. A numeric
turn gates that rendering, so Codex, the external-CLI pane parser and an older
server keep one badge per card.
A prompt typed while Claude is working is recorded ONLY as an
attachment/queued_command row. Taking it when origin.kind is 'human' and
commandMode is 'prompt' recovers 162 user cards from 163 such rows — one is a
verbatim repeat inside an unanswered user run and is collapsed by the existing
dedup guard — and restores the turn boundary whose absence let the assistant
runs fuse. The CLI's own queue entries are cleanly separable: of 322
queued_command rows, 159 are commandMode 'task-notification' and not one of
them carries an origin key.
This narrows #169 rather than reverting it: sidechain exclusion, the
restored-<uuid8> rebind, replayed-snapshot dedup and synthetic-row filtering
are all unchanged and still asserted.
The chip prefixes every row with the provider name, so a machine that only
has Claude limits renders "CLAUDE 5H 60% 7D 23%" — a 46px label naming the
only thing it could possibly be. The name exists to tell two rows apart, so
it should only appear when there are two.
updatePlanUsageChip() now checks whether both Claude and Codex actually have
windows before building the rows, and emits the .pu-provider span only in
that case. The tooltip keeps naming the provider in both cases: it has the
room, and the chip no longer does.
Verified in a browser on an isolated beta instance: Claude-only renders bare
windows with no .pu-provider in the DOM, Codex-only the same, and the
two-provider chip is byte-identical to before.

Two review nits on the vertical rail's detailed rows.
1. The tab-rail-tight rule (below 288px) hides `.tab-meta-created`, and its
comment claimed the value "survives in the row's title attribute either way".
It did not: the only title carrying it lived ON that element, and a
`display: none` element has no hover target, so the created stamp was not
shrunk but gone with no way to ask for it. Rather than just correcting the
comment, `_sidebarRichMetaHTML()` now puts BOTH absolute stamps on the
`.tab-meta` line itself, so the pill and the gaps around the stamps remain as
hover targets. An item's own title still wins where the item is visible.
2. applyTabOrientation() decided whether applyTabWrapSettings() had already
re-rendered by comparing `_tallTabsEnabled` before and after. That reads an
UNDEFINED previous value as "it rendered", but applyTabWrapSettings()
deliberately renders nothing on its first call ever (it only establishes the
baseline: `prevTallTabs !== undefined && prevTallTabs !== showFolder`). So on
a first call that also flips the folder row, neither function rendered and the
rows stayed stale. Reachable when the pre-paint script throws and leaves the
layout attributes on their catch-branch fallbacks for applyTabOrientation() to
correct. The guard now mirrors applyTabWrapSettings()'s own condition.
Both new tests were run against the unfixed code first and fail there, which is
the only thing that makes them regression tests. (The third, "does not render
twice", passes either way by design: it pins that fix 2 did not introduce a
double rebuild.)
Verified in a real browser against a live server with two sessions, driving the
narrowing through _setTabRailWidth() the way the resize drag does: at the 320
default the row reads "CREATED 2m ago · IDLE <1m" with the created element
displayed; at 256 the tight class is on, the created element computes to
display:none, the visible text drops to "IDLE <1m", and the meta line's title
still reads "First created: ...". At 220 the compact threshold drops rich rows
entirely. Screenshots confirm no truncation artifacts in either state.
Full gate green (6104 passed), typecheck, lint, format, frontend-syntax and
public-assets all clean.
