Thanks for the careful work here. Capturing the native Safari trace (insertText("ㅎ") followed by insertReplacementText, no composition events, keydown 229 after the DOM edit) is the piece #432 was missing, and it moves the issue from "somewhere between Safari and the remote pane" to a concrete client-side defect. Keeping the new path behind isMac && isSafari, a single Hangul insertText, and no real composition events also keeps the blast radius small: Chrome, Firefox and Safari's own composition-event path go through the code they use today.
I reviewed the head (31bab9f) against v0.4.0 (aca94ee). It merges cleanly. The patch applies on a fresh bun install (the patched CompositionHelper.ts carries beforeinput/finishReplacement), and Vite resolves @xterm/xterm to that patched source, so the change does reach the build. On this head, bun run check fast passes (typecheck, build, 1666 unit tests, 0 failures) and bun scripts/terminal-safari-ime-regression.ts passes on an isolated herdr.
What blocks merging right now
-
The fix has not been run with the native Safari IME yet. Every passing check here is a Chromium replay with a spoofed Safari user agent and hand-built
InputEvents. Your own "Remaining verification" list (physical English to Korean in Safari, then the remote shell/Codex/omp scenarios from #432) is still unchecked, anddocs/terminal-input.mdsays the issue cannot be considered verified before that. Since the body saysCloses #432, merging would close the issue on the replay alone. Please either run the native check on the patched build and attach thebun scripts/terminal-ime-diagnostic.tssummary, or changeCloses #432toRefs #432until that is done. -
The replay assumes the key order for Backspace, and that order decides whether deletion works.
edit()dispatcheskeydownwithkeyCode: 229after every DOM edit, includingdeleteContentBackward. InCompositionHelper.keydown, 229 is in the "keep composing" list, but a Backspace keydown that reportskeyCode: 8is not: it would callfinishReplacement()and send the half-deleted syllable (for example하) to the PTY, then the Backspace itself. Safari's nextinsertReplacementTextwould then arrive with no replacement composition active, andTerminal._inputEventignoresinsertReplacementText, so that edit is lost. I ran your replay with only that one value changed (type한, Backspace once so Safari replaces it with하, typeㄴagain, Space). WithkeyCode: 229on the Backspace keydown the PTY receives한+ space, as intended. WithkeyCode: 8it receives하+ space: the half-deleted syllable is committed and the retyped consonant is lost. To be clear about what this shows: it is the patch's behaviour under an event order I constructed, not a reproduction in Safari. I could not check which keyCode Safari really sends for Backspace in this mode, because the PR does not include the recordedevents.ndjson. Could you attach the native trace for the Backspace case (or the relevant rows), so the replay can be checked against it? If Safari does report 8 there, Backspace needs to be handled while a replacement is pending. -
The changelog entry lands in a released section. v0.4.0 was cut after this branch's last merge from main. Merged as it is, the line goes under
## [0.4.0](line 144 of the merged file), which is already released. Please rebase and move it under## [Unreleased]→### Fixed.
Smaller notes
- On iPadOS, Safari reports
navigator.platform === "MacIntel", soisMac && isSafarialso enables this path there with a hardware keyboard. That may be the right call (iPadOS Korean input behaves similarly), but it has not been tested. A sentence indocs/terminal-input.mdwould help. - A pending syllable is dropped, not sent, when the pane changes without a blur first. I agree that is the right choice (it must not land in another pane), and the regression covers it. Please mention it in the docs next to the reset behavior, so nobody reads it as lost input later.
docs/screenshots/safari-ime/adds two PNGs (about 90 KB) andcomparison.jsonas permanent repo content for a replay. Linking them from the PR body (as you did for the before/after table) and keeping only the reproduction steps indocs/terminal-input.mdwould keep the repo lighter. Your call, this is not blocking.- CI on this repository has not run yet (only CodeRabbit). The maintainer approves fork runs after reading what they execute, so expect "Fast checks" and "Integration and browser" to run before merge.

…angul preedit Safari's replacement path was replayed only with keydown 229 after each edit. A Backspace or Delete reporting its own key code committed the half-edited syllable and then sent DEL, a forward delete committed the text it removed, and punctuation whose keydown 229 came before its insertion was dropped. Hold unmodified Backspace/Delete inside the preedit in either key order, track forward deletion, and forward an insertion that ends the preedit once. The replay now covers both key orders.

Independent review of the merge lane's commit fd738bb and the PR as a whole (lead session; lane ext-524 wrote fd738bb), head 0af40fa.
Verdict: merge. It fixes a real Safari Hangul loss, and the new path is gated to macOS Safari's no-composition replacement state, so Chrome, Firefox and Safari's ordinary composition path go through stock xterm.
Read:
- fd738bb (from the Codex astra pass): on the replacement path, a Backspace/Delete that Safari already applied to the pending syllable is not sent again as DEL (that would delete text already in the PTY), forward Delete is handled like Backspace, and punctuation whose keydown 229 arrived first is forwarded once instead of being dropped. The replay in
scripts/terminal-safari-ime-regression.tsnow drives Backspace/Delete with their own key codes, before and after the edit; the lane ran those cases red before fd738bb and green after. I did not rerun the browser replay myself: CI's "Integration and browser" ran it green on 0af40fa. - CHANGELOG is under Unreleased with credit; both required checks are green; no open threads.
Not verified: a native run on Safari 26.6.2, the version whose replacement path this patch targets (the native run recorded here was Safari 27.2, which uses ordinary composition events). I changed "Closes #432" to "Refs #432" so the issue stays open until that run. Merging is still safe: the gated path only runs where stock xterm already loses input.
## What
Anonymous install and update counts, announced and on by default
(opt-out):
- **When:** one event when an install first runs, one each time it runs
a new version, nothing in between. No event is sent before the app has
shown its one-time notice (a line under the header with **What is
sent**, **Turn off** and **Dismiss**), and the first one waits ten
minutes after it, so **Turn off** on the notice stops it. The notice is
recorded only once it was painted in a visible tab, and stays up until
the server confirms the switch is off.
- **What:** `event` (`install`/`update`), a random `install_id` made on
the PC, `version`, `previous_version`, `os`, `arch`, `install_method`
(`plugin`/`managed`/`source`). Nothing about terminals, agents, files or
accounts.
- **Off switch:** Settings → About → **Anonymous usage counts** shows
the next event exactly as it would be sent and turns it off.
`HERDR_WEB_TELEMETRY=0`, `DO_NOT_TRACK=1`, `CI` and the test
environments block it whatever the switch says.
- **Where it does nothing:** only the real entrypoint
(`server/index.ts`) passes a `Telemetry`, so `createServer` in tests,
remote-PC bridges and the demo answer `/api/telemetry` with 404 and the
app shows neither the notice nor the switch.
- **Receiver:** `telemetry/` is a Cloudflare Worker over one D1 table.
It never reads the sender's address or any header but the content type,
stores the day rather than the time, keeps each (install, event,
version) once, and has Workers Logs off. Deploy steps and the queries to
read the counts are in `telemetry/README.md`.
A failed send is logged once and tried again at the next start; it never
loops. Turning the switch off aborts a send in flight, the state file is
re-read before each decision (two servers on one state directory agree),
and a state directory that cannot be written leaves the app running with
telemetry silent.
## Contract
- `GET /api/telemetry` → `TelemetryStatus`; `POST /api/telemetry` `{
enabled?, notice_seen?: true }` with `x-herdr-update: 1` and same-origin
(`shared/telemetry.ts`, catalogued in `shared/protocol.ts`).
- `site/demo/transport.ts` answers 404 like a server without telemetry.
- `telemetry/` is added to `tsconfig.json` and to the unit-test glob in
`scripts/ci-tests.ts`.
## Before merging / releasing
- The lead deploys the Worker right after the merge (the D1 database
exists and its id is in `telemetry/wrangler.toml`; the account's
workers.dev subdomain is `devswha`, so `TELEMETRY_URL` in
`server/telemetry.ts` is right). Until then every send fails quietly:
one log line per start, retried at the next start.
## Verification
- `bun run test:unit`: 1790 pass, 0 fail (before rebasing onto v0.4.1);
after the rebase `bun run typecheck` and the telemetry, Worker and i18n
tests pass.
- `bun run build` passes.
- New tests: `server/telemetry.test.ts` (no send before the notice,
install once, update from the last reported version, switch, environment
blocks, retry after a refused send, route validation),
`telemetry/worker.test.ts` (stored fields, no address, refusals), and a
`telemetry API` block in `server/api.contract.test.ts` (404 without
telemetry, notice and switch through HTTP, token gate). The contract
block was not run locally; CI runs it.
- Browser check against a real server and a stand-in receiver
(Chromium): the notice shows on first open and the install event arrives
once; **What is sent** opens Settings → About; the switch turns sending
off on the server; after a reload the notice is not shown again; the
notice wraps cleanly at 390px in Korean.
## Review pass (merge lane)
- Merged `main` (v0.4.1, #598, #524); the changelog entry sits under `##
[Unreleased]`.
- Codex `gpt-6-astra` adversarial pass: six findings verified and fixed
in c74606b and 2f8a0bc, each with a test that fails without the fix
(`server/telemetry.test.ts`, `telemetry/worker.test.ts`); the rest are
listed in a comment below.
- `bun run check fast`: 1837 pass, 0 fail.
`server/api.contract.test.ts`: 96 pass. `scripts/update-browser-qa.ts`:
4 PASS.
- Browser check (Chromium, a real server and a stand-in receiver, 4 s
grace): the notice shows, nothing is sent until the grace passed and
then one install event arrives; a failed **Turn off** keeps the notice
with "Could not turn it off. Try again.", the retry closes it, the
switch is off on the server and nothing is sent after the grace; the
failure line fits at 390px.
Release v0.4.2 from `main` at cc9701c. Stop before merge: the maintainer merges and runs the release. ## What's in it - Version 0.4.2 in `package.json` and `herdr-plugin.toml`. - CHANGELOG: `## [Unreleased]` cut into `## [0.4.2] - 2026-10-09`, compare links updated, the two #598 entries given their PR link. Outside contributors are credited as GitHub lists them as authors. - `release-summaries.json`: 0.4.2 patch notes in en/ko/ja/zh (new 5, improved 5, fixed 4). - `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` raised to `"22"`: the remote-PC bundle ships `server/`, `shared/` and `dist/` (`scripts/build-remote-bundle.ts`), and all three changed since remote-v21 (#543, #438, #599, #600, #601, #605 and others). A `remote-v22` tag is needed on the merge commit before the release. ## PRs since v0.4.1 #598, #524, #599, #603, #600, #601, #605, #438, #610, #607, #543 ## Whole-release review Codex astra (gpt-6-astra) over `v0.4.1..cc9701c`, looking for cross-PR problems: **no release blocker**. One Medium, verified by reading the code and left as a follow-up: in an OpenCode chat, "Show the whole output" fetched while a tool is still running can keep the older text if the tool later rewrites its output, because the output reference carries no revision. It affects only what is displayed until the row remounts; the fix needs a new protocol field, so it is out of scope for a release PR. ## Checks - `bun run check fast`: green locally (1928 pass, 6 skip, 0 fail; typecheck, build, generated types). - `server/release-notes.test.ts` and `scripts/release-notes.test.ts`: 27 pass; `bun scripts/release-notes.ts 0.4.2` renders the notes.
