fix: pre-release review fixes for 0.4.1 - #588
Merged

Conversation
A local_command record whose output repeats an unterminated OSC opener made the lazy global regex rescan the rest of the output from every opener: parse time grew with the square of the length and blocked the bridge (Codex finding 3). Strip escapes with a single-pass scanner instead. It also closes the three gaps of #584: an unterminated OSC no longer leaks its address, ESC ( B leaves no stray B, and an entry with both stdout and stderr shows both.
The secret handler rechecked the attachment and its membership after the live-screen read, but not the sender's own claim. With another client keeping a mirrored attachment alive, a sender that detached and attached again during the read still had its old secret typed and entered without another Send (Codex finding 2). Capture the claim when the secret is accepted and answer not_attached when it changed, as #576 does for typing. The regression keeps a second client on the attachment and orders the read against the detach and rejoin with a deferred barrier.
…ment The #576 regression has one client, so detach already destroys the attachment and its identity check alone rejects the stale typing: removing the claim comparison stayed green (Codex finding 8). Keep a second client on the attachment, hold the message ahead of the typing at herdr with a deferred barrier, and detach and rejoin the sender before it is released. Removing the claim comparison now fails this case.
appOnPort() accepted any answer whose JSON said ok: true, whatever its
status. A stranger on the kept port answering bridge health with 503 and
{"ok":true}, or with that JSON alone, was taken for the app: start said
the app was running without herdr and kept the port instead of moving to
a free one (Codex finding 7). Require a successful status and the shape
the server answers (ok, bridge_protocol, auth with required and
authenticated), and give the fake apps in the tests that shape.
Three statements promised more than the code does (Codex finding 9): - only queue-delivery submits keep idempotency receipts; an immediate submit sent twice runs twice; - with a token set, a paired device's cookie is still accepted first; - on Windows the Claude stores looked in are the server's own CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, ~/.claude and ~/.claude-* in the home folder, not any directory a pane was started with.
Settings opened over a file preview is raised to --z-modal + 2, above the palette's --z-modal scrim. The palette its shortcut then opens took focus and Escape while drawn beneath Settings (Codex finding 5). Give the palette scrim a layer token of its own, --z-palette (35): above every dialog, below the in-app alert. DESIGN.md lists it. The file-viewer regression opens a preview, Settings and the palette and checks the palette is the topmost element and has focus; removing the new rule fails it with the palette focused but hidden.
Unreleased entries for findings 2, 3, 5 and 7 of the 0.4.1 Codex review; 8 and 9 change tests and docs only.

Independent review of 378013b (lane rev-rel)
Verdict: three small changes before merge (B1-B3 below). Everything else holds.
What I ran
All on a detached checkout of 378013b, on an isolated herdr.
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
bun run check fast |
pass: 1725 pass, 0 fail; typecheck, build, generated types fresh |
Finding 3: server/conversation.ts from main, new tests |
2 fail (growth ratio 4.02, the #584 cases); with the fix 52 pass. The growth-ratio test alone: 10/10 green |
Finding 7: scripts/plugin.ts from main, new test |
fails ("herdr web ui is running ..."); with the fix 14 pass |
Finding 2: secret handler's claim comparison removed, submit.contract.test.ts |
only "enters no secret for a sender that left and rejoined ..." fails (23/1); head 24/24 |
| Finding 8: mirrored-input claim comparison removed, same file | only "sends nothing typed by a sender that left and rejoined ..." fails; head 24/24 |
Finding 5: z-index: var(--z-palette) removed, rebuilt, scripts/file-viewer-regression.ts |
fails with above: false; head passes every step |
| Finding 9 | read against the code: receipts are kept only for delivery: "queue"; decideAccess takes a device cookie before tokenConfigured; the Windows stores are the server's CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, ~/.claude and ~/.claude-* |
REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION |
unchanged (shared/ has no diff) |
| CHANGELOG | every new line is under ## [Unreleased] > Fixed |
| Finding 7, older bridges | ?scope=bridge has answered { ok, auth: { required, authenticated }, bridge_protocol } since it was added (v0.2.0), so the stricter appOnPort has no false negative there |
Codex adversarial pass (gpt-6.1-sol, xhigh), each finding checked by me
To fix in this PR
- B1 (Codex 3, Medium) -
scripts/plugin.tsstart()/health(). Verified by reading.start()askshealth()first, andhealth()still takes any 200{ "ok": true }from/api/healthfor the app;appOnPort()is only reached when that fails. A stranger answering{ok:true}on both URLs is still reported as "herdr web ui already running", so the CHANGELOG line "no longer takes another program on the app's port for the app because its answer saysok" is not true as written. The new test hides this path by making plain health answer 503. Either givehealth()the same identity check (the full answer carriesauthtoo; check what older versions answered before requiring more) with a test for a stranger answering{ok:true}on both URLs, or narrow the CHANGELOG sentence to the case that is fixed. - B2 (Codex 5, Medium) -
server/conversation.tslocalCommandOutput. Verified by probe:<local-command-stdout>Use </local-command-stdout> in this example.</local-command-stdout>now yields no notice at all; on main it showed the text (the old pattern matched to the last closing tag). The new loop ends a stream at the first closing tag. Take a closing tag only where the entry ends or another stream starts, keep it linear, and add the case to the test. - B3 (Codex 8, Low) -
DESIGN.mdand theCommandPalette.csscomment. Verified by reading:MachineDialogopens withshowModal(), which is the browser's top layer, so "over every dialog" and "the top layer whenever it is open" say more than the code does. Narrow both to the scrim dialogs.
Verified, not worth fixing here
- Codex 1 (High) - no recheck between the mirrored secret's text and its Enter. True by reading. The text is already in the prompt by then; withholding Enter would leave the secret typed there for whoever presses Enter next, which is no better. The window is one RPC.
- Codex 2 (High) - a pty replaced by a live handoff, or interact -> observe -> interact, during the screen read. True by reading, and older than this PR. It is the same pane and the sender's own send; the finding this PR answers is the detach/rejoin case, which is closed. Worth an issue of its own, not this PR.
- Codex 4 (Medium) - C1 controls, C1 ST, BEL inside DCS. Verified by probe. Not a regression: main left more of these in the text. A real terminal's 8-bit controls are not what Claude Code writes.
- Codex 6 (Medium) - the 4000-character cap is applied after the whole pass. True; the pass is linear (one million plain characters: 32 ms cold).
- Codex 7 (Low) - the growth-ratio test is a timing test. It fails on the regression it names (ratio 4.0 on main). Codex's mutant that rescans every 512 openers passing it: not run by me. No flake in 10 runs here, 8 by the author, 120 by Codex. Accepted; if it ever flakes in CI, count scanner steps instead.
Closed, per Codex and my runs: findings 5, 8, 9 and the complexity part of 3; appOnPort itself; changelog placement.
Re-check after the push: the three items above, check fast, and the touched test files.
start() asks the full /api/health first, and health() took any 200 that
said ok: true. A program answering {"ok":true} on both health URLs was
reported as the app already running (review of #588). Require the shape
every release since v0.1.0 has answered: ok, a herdr object and auth
with required and authenticated, as the bridge-health check already
does. The fake apps in the plugin and phone-setup tests answer that
shape.
A stream ended at the first closing tag, so output that prints the tag
itself ("Use </local-command-stdout> in this example.") gave no notice
at all, where main showed the text (review of #588). Take a closing tag
only at the end of the entry or before the next stream's opening tag.
Each candidate looks only at the whitespace after it, so the scan stays
linear; the growth test now also covers output full of closing tags.
MachineDialog opens with showModal(), which puts it in the browser's top layer above any z-index; the palette's layer covers the scrim dialogs (review of #588).

Re-check of 689a1b5 (lane rev-rel)Verdict: clean. B1-B3 from my review are fixed; nothing else is asked for.
Left for separate work, as judged in the review: the mirrored secret's Enter after its text, a pty swap or role round trip during the screen read, and C1 controls in a slash command's answer. |

## The failure "Fast checks" failed on main at 57d7663 (run 37730991278) on `parseClaudeTranscript > strips escapes in time linear in a malformed answer's length` (`server/conversation.test.ts`, added by #588): ```ts expect(time(large) / Math.max(time(small), 0.05)).toBeLessThan(3); ``` The same code was green twice on the PR. ## Why it flaked The parse of either input takes well under a millisecond, so the assertion divided two sub-millisecond timings with a 0.05 ms floor. One scheduler pause in the large run, or a small run that hit the floor, moves the ratio past 3 with no change in the code. A required check that depends on that blocks every PR. ## What the test asserts now No clock is read. While `parseClaudeTranscript` runs, the test wraps the primitives the scanner reads the answer through and counts the characters each one touches: - `charCodeAt`: 1 - `indexOf`: the distance scanned plus the needle - `startsWith`: the needle - `slice`: the copy's length - a regex run (`RegExp.prototype.exec`, which `test` and `replace` go through once it is wrapped): the square of its input. A regex's backtracking cannot be counted from outside, so it is charged its worst case. The scanner's `/\s/` over one character costs one step; a regex over the whole answer does not pass. It then asserts, for both input shapes (unterminated escapes `"\u001b]x"` and closing tags the output prints itself), that doubling the input from 20,000 to 40,000 units grows the count by less than 2.5x. Measured on the current scanner: 240,044 to 480,044 steps (2.00x) and 2,424,046 to 4,844,046 (2.00x). The originals are put back in a `finally`. A count of zero gives NaN and fails too. Test-only: `server/conversation.ts` is untouched, so no CHANGELOG line. ## Proof - **Pre-#588 code fails it.** With `localCommandOutput` from 5979118 put back, the test fails: `Expected: < 2.5, Received: 7.999`. The source was then restored and `cmp` against `HEAD` reported it identical. - **A hand-written rescan fails it.** The pre-#588 function was only quadratic on the escape shape (it is caught there by the regex charge, and stops at the first shape). For the closing-tag shape I added a `content.slice(next)` at every closing tag to the current scanner: `Expected: < 2.5, Received: 3.999`, with the escape shape still passing. Restored, `cmp` identical. - **200/200.** `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test ./server/conversation.test.ts -t "strips escapes"` run 200 times, eight at a time: 200 passed. - `bun run check fast`: ok (1726 pass, 0 fail). ## Note for review The regex charge means this test also fails if the scanner goes back to running a regex over the whole answer, linear or not. That is deliberate (it is the only way a count can see the pre-#588 cost), and the comment in the test says so.

## Change Prepares v0.4.1 and remote bundle 21. - `package.json` and `herdr-plugin.toml`: 0.4.0 → 0.4.1. A patch release: fixes from the audit and the pre-release reviews (#566, #570, #588, #592), Windows chat discovery (#563, #582), the plugin's port handling (#577), GJC menus (#593) and more. The new pieces are small and opt-in or additive: the sidebar's Activity order and Quiet opened finishes (#529, both off by default), the `/effort` card (#594), the clipboard-from-a-pane switch (#570) and the Portal guide (#229). - `shared/machines.ts`: `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` 20 → 21. `server/` code that ships in the bundle changed since v0.4.0 (#566, #563, #572, #576, #582, #583, #588, #519, #570, #592, #593, #594), so remote PCs need a new bridge. - `CHANGELOG.md`: the Unreleased notes become `[0.4.1] - 2026-10-08`, with the compare links. #592 merged without entries; its three user-visible fixes are added under Fixed (forwarded-address token limit, https-only web push that never follows a redirect, Tab and Escape in Add PC over a file preview). - `release-summaries.json`: 0.4.1 in English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese: four new, seven improved and eight fixed lines (eight is the most a list keeps). ## After the merge 1. `git tag remote-v21 <merge commit> && git push origin remote-v21` → the remote-bundles workflow publishes the five bundles and `manifest.json` as release `remote-v21`. 2. Only then `gh workflow run release.yml --ref main -f version=0.4.1`: preflight validates version, notes and summaries, CI runs on the exact commit, and the tag `v0.4.1` with its GitHub release is created. ## Validation - `bun run check fast` (workflow syntax, generated types, typecheck, build, unit tests). - `bun scripts/release-notes.ts 0.4.1` prints the notes (version sources agree, one heading, summaries in all four languages).

…e notes (#598) Two changes the owner asked for, one commit each. ## 1. Clipboard from a pane (OSC 52) is on by default #570 turned **Settings → Terminal → Clipboard from a pane** off by default, so copying from vim, tmux and Claude Code silently did nothing. It is on again; the switch stays for anyone running output they do not trust. **Migration: a new storage key.** Settings are saved as one whole record, so any 0.4.1 install whose user changed *any* setting has `terminalOsc52: false` stored without choosing it. The choice now lives under `paneClipboard` (default `true`) and `terminalOsc52` is ignored and dropped by `sanitizeSettings`, which already discards unknown keys. That is the simplest correct option: - a 0.4.1 record loads as on (its `false` cannot be told apart from a real choice, so it is not trusted); - an off chosen from now on is written under `paneClipboard` and stays off across saves and reloads; - no version field or one-off migration state is needed. A settings version would do the same with more code. Known edge: a tab still running the 0.4.1 bundle that saves settings writes its own record, which has no `paneClipboard`, so a new "off" would read as on again until it is re-chosen. Tabs pick up the new bundle on reload, and settings already have no cross-tab sync (each tab saves its in-memory record), so this is no worse than any other setting. Tests (`src/lib/settings.test.ts`, "clipboard from a pane"): fresh default on; a 0.4.1 record with `terminalOsc52: false` loads as on; an off chosen after the change survives a save, a reload and an unrelated change. A mutation that falls back to the old key fails the second case. Also: the setting's description and code comments say what is true now, ko/ja/zh entries are updated, and there is a CHANGELOG line under Unreleased → Changed. No doc in `docs/`, `DESIGN.md`, `INSTALL.md` or `README.md` mentions the default. ## 2. Patch-note style GitHub release notes `scripts/release-notes.ts` printed the whole CHANGELOG section (181 lines for v0.4.1). It now prints the English lists from `release-summaries.json` (`### New features`, `### Improvements`, `### Bug fixes`, a list with no lines left out), then the full section inside `<details><summary>Full changelog</summary>` with blank lines around it so GitHub renders the markdown. Lines come through `readSummary`, so they are trimmed and capped exactly as an install shows them. Every validation is unchanged (version format, the three version sources, exactly one heading, nonempty notes, all four languages). `scripts/release-notes.test.ts` pins the shape, the order and an empty list left out. `docs/development.md` → Releasing and `scripts/AGENTS.md` describe the new body. The published v0.4.1 release is not touched here; the lead regenerates it after the merge. ### v0.4.1 rendered with this script (`bun scripts/release-notes.ts 0.4.1`) ### New features - Typing /effort in a Claude Code chat opens a card to pick the effort for this session - Settings → Appearance can keep waiting and the latest agents on top of the Agents list - A finished agent you opened in the web UI can lose its dot, as it would in herdr (opt-in) - The guide shows how to give the app a public HTTPS address with Portal ### Improvements - A wrong access token waits longer after five tries, up to a minute - A program in a pane copies to your clipboard only once you allow it in Settings → Terminal - Dialogs keep Tab inside them, and screen readers announce tabs, panes and status lines - Add PC, Reconnect PC and Update remote bridge open as a bottom sheet on a phone - Updating a remote PC that is already current reuses its bridge without a new download - Alerts go only to https push services and never follow a redirect - Long drafts wrap, and the scrollbar no longer covers text when the page is zoomed ### Bug fixes - A long line of unclosed brackets or broken escape codes no longer freezes the chat - On Windows, more Claude Code and Codex panes show their chat instead of an error - Your own devices are recognised by their Tailscale login again, without pairing - A Claude Code chat shows what a slash command answered, and /goal is suggested - Settings, the palette, Add PC and file previews stack in order; Escape closes the top one - The plugin's start keeps the app on its port while herdr is away - A secret or typed text no longer reaches a pane you have already left - Gajae Code's selection and startup menus show their choices, not only arrow keys <details><summary>Full changelog</summary> ### Added - `/effort` sent from a Claude Code chat opens a card with the effort levels, low to max, so the level no longer has to be set in the terminal. A pick applies to this session only, as a pick from the `/model` card does, and leaves the default for new sessions alone. `/effort` is also in the chat's command list now. ([#594](#594), [#523](#523) by @suho-han) - Settings → Terminal has a **Clipboard from a pane** switch, off by default: a program running in a pane can no longer put text on your clipboard unless you turn it on. Programs that copy this way (vim, tmux, Claude Code) copy again once it is on. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The guide's **Behind a reverse proxy** shows how to give the app a public HTTPS address with [Portal](https://github.com/gosuda/portal-tunnel) v2.6.1 or later, behind a long random token and with a visitor's `Tailscale-User-Login` header dropped. ([#229](#229) by @rabbitson87) - **Settings → Appearance → Agents order → Activity** keeps a waiting agent on top of the Agents list and orders the rest by their latest state change, as herdr's agents panel keeps the latest work in view: the agent you just sent a message to stays on top while it runs and after it finishes, and a new one starts there. herdr's own order and the workspace rows are unchanged. **Workspaces** (herdr's order) remains the default. ([#529](#529) by @phirschybar) - **Settings → Appearance → Quiet opened finishes** (off by default): a finished agent you have opened in the web UI loses its dot and reads as ready, as viewing it in herdr would make it. herdr's DONE otherwise stands until herdr itself shows the pane. It is remembered per PC in this browser. ([#529](#529) by @phirschybar) ### Changed - A wrong access token is refused with a growing wait after five tries, up to a minute, whether it is typed into the sign-in form or sent with a request. Each visitor behind `tailscale serve` has their own count, and a browser holding an old token never stops you signing in with the new one. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The app now sends itself a Content-Security-Policy, so third-party content rendered in a chat — math, agent marks — cannot run script in the app. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A web-push subscription must be an https endpoint. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) ### Fixed - Gajae Code's selection menus show their choices instead of only arrow-key buttons, including startup selectors shown before the pane reports that it is waiting. Answers move to the selected row and recheck the menu before confirming. ([#593](#593)) - Secret input and the Codex follow-up fallback validate the live screen, so a password prompt or collapsed question queue in scrollback cannot send input into the current program. ([#566](#566)) - The PC's Tailscale login is read from a real Tailscale user id. These ids are too large for a JavaScript number, so the owner was not recognised and the owner's own devices had to pair. Two logins with neighbouring ids are also no longer taken for one. ([#572](#572)) - On Windows, a Claude Code pane started with a second account's `~/.claude-*` directory as its `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` shows its chat. Before, the pane fell back to `~/.claude`, so the chat said **Conversation unavailable** and only the terminal worked. Windows does not let the server read another process's environment, so the store is the one among the server's own `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, `~/.claude` and the `~/.claude-*` directories beside it that holds the Claude process's own record, checked against the time the process started. A directory elsewhere is not looked in. Claude Code processes reported as `claude.exe` are recognized too. ([#563](#563) by @David-Sousa-Web) - A long line of brackets, `\(` or underscores that never close, as an agent prints in a log or a minified file, no longer freezes the chat: a megabyte of them took a minute or more to read, and now takes milliseconds. What every message shows is unchanged. ([#574](#574)) - On a mirrored pane (Windows, where herdr cannot attach a terminal), text typed while a message was still being sent no longer reaches the pane once you have left it, or left it and opened it again, before the text's turn came. ([#576](#576)) - The plugin's `start` keeps the app on its port when the app's own server holds it but cannot reach herdr. It used to move the app to another port beside the running one and blame another program; now it says that the app runs there without herdr and exits, and the app answers again on its port once herdr is back. ([#577](#577)) - On Windows, a Codex pane shows its chat when Codex stored its paths with the `\\?\` prefix, as it does for a canonical Windows path (`\\?\D:\work` for `D:\work`). Before, the chat said **Conversation unavailable**: the session's file seemed to lie outside Codex's store, and none of the threads matched the pane's directory as herdr reports it. ([#582](#582) by @David-Sousa-Web) - In a Claude Code pane, the chat shows what a slash command answered, so a `/goal` that Claude Code refuses says why in the chat instead of only in the terminal. `/goal` is also among the commands the message box suggests. ([#583](#583)) - Settings opened over a file preview is visible above it; Escape and Back close Settings first, preserving the preview and its history entry until the file itself is closed. ([#568](#568)) - Command palette buttons keep their native Enter action; IME commit and cancel keys stay with text input, and arrow navigation keeps the selected result visible. ([#567](#567)) - Long drafts in the message box wrap and keep a narrow scroll cue in reserved space, so the scrollbar no longer covers text at fractional zoom. ([#522](#522) by @suho-han) - A secret sent from a pane you then left and opened again, while another browser kept the pane open, is no longer typed into the pane: you send it again from the pane you opened. ([#588](#588)) - A Claude Code slash command whose answer holds a long run of broken terminal escape codes no longer stalls the server while the chat reads it. Its answer also drops a link cut off before its end and a stray `B` after a charset switch, and an answer with both output and errors shows both. ([#588](#588)) - The command palette opened over Settings and a file preview shows above both, instead of taking the keyboard unseen beneath them. ([#588](#588)) - The plugin's `start` no longer takes another program on the app's port for the app because its answer says `ok`: it treats it as any other program there, moving the app to a free port, or saying the port is taken when `PORT` is set. ([#588](#588)) - A 500 from the server no longer repeats the system's own error text, which carried absolute paths and the herdr socket location; it names a short id you can quote in a bug report instead. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - Settings, the command palette, the file viewer, the file browser and the new-workspace dialog keep Tab inside them and give the focus back to whatever opened them. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The tabs of a workspace name the pane region they govern, so a screen reader announces the tab and the pane together. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - Agent headings in a chat no longer pose as the app's own page structure; they sit below the app's own headings and look the same as before. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The "reconnecting" line and the composer's terminal-only hint are announced when they appear. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A chat locked out by the token gate, the "Last checked" line under Settings → About (with its date in your language) and a remote PC's state word in the sidebar are translated like the rest of the UI. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The alerts menu item now says the same thing the same way in every state. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - Held terminal input typed while disconnected is forgotten after a day. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A link printed in the terminal opens only if it is an http(s) address, on both link paths. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A second tab open on one pane no longer sends a message the first tab is already sending: it sees that send on its way and holds back. Two tabs that press Send at nearly the same moment can still both send it. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A row's ⋯ menu is capped to the room its button leaves and scrolls instead of being cut off by the viewport, so the pane picker of a tab with many panes keeps every entry reachable with the pointer as well as the keyboard. Before, items below the fold were rendered but unreachable. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A row menu open while the window crosses the 640 px breakpoint now switches between bottom sheet and popover instead of keeping the form it opened with. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The workspace drawer a narrow window opened is closed again when the window is widened past 768 px, so narrowing it no longer brings back a drawer and its scrim unasked. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - **Add PC**, **Reconnect PC** and **Update remote bridge** open as a bottom sheet on a phone, like every other dialog, and keep clear of the on-screen keyboard. Before, the one native dialog stayed a centred card on a phone. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - **Remove PC**'s first click is a quiet ghost button that only arms the removal; the second is the red one, as revoking a device already was. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A PC's rename, connect and disconnect buttons disable while their request is in flight, so a double click no longer sends two overlapping requests. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A failed pane or workspace rename keeps the field open with what you typed, so a network blip no longer makes you write the name again. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A workspace reorder that fails no longer undoes a later, successful reorder. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - A tab watching several busy panes gives up its oldest cached conversation answers when they grow past a byte budget, not only past sixteen of them. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The usage meters' note is the same size as every other advisory and empty state. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - The PDF viewer's page colour, the pill radii, the tab dot and the pairing-code size come from design tokens now, and the pairing code follows the compact density setting. ([#570](#570) by @radicor) - Updating an already current remote bridge verifies and reuses it without downloading or restarting it again, while a bridge from a newer app is left running instead of downgraded. A PC that waits on such a conflict says so in the sidebar and under the header, with a **Reconnect** button, instead of asking for setup approval. ([#519](#519) by @suho-han) - A wrong access token sent through a proxy on this PC with a made-up `X-Forwarded-For` address that itself says " via " now counts against the limit every visitor through that proxy shares, like any other wrong token. Before, each such try started a fresh count. ([#592](#592)) - A web-push subscription must be an https address, with no exception for this PC, and an alert is never sent on where a push service redirects it, so an alert can never be posted to a service running on this PC. ([#592](#592)) - In the **Add PC** dialog opened over a file preview, Tab moves through the dialog's own controls and Escape closes the dialog alone, leaving the preview beneath it open. ([#592](#592)) </details> ## Checks - `bun run check fast`: ok (1817 pass, 6 platform skips, 0 fail). - No browser regression covers OSC 52 (`terminal-copy-regression.ts` covers drag and Ctrl+C copy), so none was run for it. ## Codex review (gpt-6-astra, read-only) - **Fixed** (P2): summary text was put into the markdown as-is, so `"…\n\n<!--"` could hide the whole changelog fold. The gate now refuses a summary line with a line break in any language, and the English lines escape `<`. A test covers both and fails without the fix. - **Declined, documented** (P2): a tab still on the 0.4.1 bundle that saves settings drops `paneClipboard`, so a new "off" reads as on until it is chosen again. A versioned storage key would stop that, but then every setting changed in such a tab would be lost instead. It lasts only until that tab reloads, and every setting added before this one had the same gap. - **Pre-existing, not in this diff** (P2): settings have no cross-tab sync, so a stale tab's next save writes its own copy of every setting, this one included. Reported to the lead as a follow-up.

…is written to (#624) Fixes #545. Refs #589 (both points in the issue body; the window in its follow-up comment is left as is, see below). ## Problem - **#545**: a queued terminal chord or text passed its attachment, claim and authorization checks inside `serialize(...)`, then waited for `herdrRpc`'s Unix-socket connect. If the sender detached, switched to observe or had its device revoked during that wait, the request was still written when the connection resolved. - **#589**: the `secret` handler re-checked the connection, attachment, claim and readiness after its live-screen read, but not (1) whether the pane's pty had been replaced under the same attachment (a live handoff), or (2) whether the sender had switched interact → observe → interact while the read was pending. ## Change - `herdrRpc(method, params, socketPath, timeoutMs, guard?)`: an optional guard asked once more right before `sock.write`. False sends nothing and rejects with `cancelled`. `paneSendText` / `paneSendKeys` pass it through. Callers without a guard are unchanged. - `keys` handler: the checks it already makes become the guard; a cancelled send is answered `input_failed` (as the existing cancel paths are, per `server/AGENTS.md`). - `input` handler (mirrored and queued branches): the same, through the existing `.catch(inputFailed)`. - `SocketData.roles` counts mode changes. The secret handler captures it and the attachment's pty when it accepts the secret, and refuses after the screen read with `read_only` (role changed) or `input_not_ready` (pty replaced). On a mirrored pane the secret's text also carries the guard. **Left as is (#589 comment):** on a mirrored pane, once the secret's text is in, its Enter follows without another check. Withholding the Enter would leave the secret on the prompt line for the next Enter anyone presses, and no single key clears a line in every shell herdr mirrors (Ctrl+U for a POSIX tty, Escape for PowerShell/cmd). This matches the #588 review's call. The issue stays open for that decision. **Cost to a legitimate user:** none found. The guard only refuses what the existing checks already refuse, evaluated a moment later. The app never sends `role` on its own (`src/AGENTS.md`), so the role count changes only for a client that switches roles itself. ## Validation - `server/rpc-guard.test.ts` (new, unit, a stand-in herdr on a Unix socket): a guard that turns false while the connect is pending writes nothing and rejects `cancelled`. Passes with the fix; fails with the guard check replaced by `if (false)` (1 fail). - `server/submit.contract.test.ts`: new case, a secret whose screen read is held while the sender switches to observe and back, answers `read_only` and types nothing. With the fix it passes, together with the two #588 rejoin cases (3 pass). With the role check removed it fails (the secret was entered). Run through `bun run check run` on its own herdr. - `bun run typecheck` clean. - Not covered by a test: the pty-replaced branch (it needs a live handoff mid-read). It is one identity comparison next to the existing attachment check. No protocol change. `server/` changes, so a remote PC gets this with the next `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` bump.

It is one identity comparison next to the existing attachment check. No protocol change. `server/` changes, so a remote PC gets this with the next `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` bump. * fix(machines): a remote PC tells its connection server of a new agent at once (devswha#625) Fixes devswha#555. ## Problem On a remote PC, a pane whose agent has just been named could stay listed as a shell for up to 5 s. The connection server reads a remote PC's snapshot every 5 s and on each `pane-status` / `pane-exited` / `session-changed` frame from its bridge (`server/machines.ts`, `observe`). An agent herdr names **in a status event** therefore reaches it with that event's frame. An agent the bridge's collector first sees **in a snapshot it reconciles from** (a pane created a moment ago that got its agent after the roster's own read, or an agent that starts without a status change) has no frame behind it, so nothing asks for the roster until the next 5 s read. devswha#537 fixed the local PC with `MachineManager.localAgents`; a bridge runs with `machines: false`, so that call did nothing there. ## Change - `AgentNews` (`server/machines.ts`): the "is this news" test `localAgents` had (an agent named anew or another one; a pane first heard of as a shell is not), with `forget` / `keepOnly`. `MachineManager` uses it unchanged in behaviour. - `bridgeAgentNews(tell)`: a bridge's record. A status event's agent is recorded with no frame of its own, because its `pane-status` frame already makes the connection server read the roster. An agent first seen in a reconciled snapshot calls `tell`, which `createServer` wires to `broadcastAll({ type: "session-changed" })`. It never prunes on a reconcile's payload, which leaves out panes heard of while its snapshot was read. Panes that end are forgotten through `onPaneEnded`. No wire change: `session-changed` already exists and every connection server reads the roster on it. **Remote bundle:** the bridge's behaviour changes, so remote PCs get this only after `REMOTE_BUNDLE_VERSION` is raised at the next release. ## Validation - `server/machines-refresh.test.ts`, four new cases for `bridgeAgentNews`: news first seen in a reconcile tells once; a status event's agent tells nothing; a pane left out of a reconcile is not forgotten; an ended pane's id is news again. With the fix: 19 pass. With the `tell` removed: 3 fail. With the first version of this PR (tell on status, prune on reconcile): 2 fail. - The devswha#537 `localAgents` cases still pass after the refactor. - `bun run typecheck` clean. - Not run end to end: a live herdr reconcile that names an agent with no status event. I found no deterministic way to make herdr do that in a contract test. The first version's contract case went through a status event, a path the connection server already covered, so it was removed (see the Codex comment). * ci(browser): per-script timings and kept screenshots for the browser lane (devswha#627) ## Change A failed browser lane kept herdr's server log, but no page screenshots and no reliable per-script timings. This adds wall-second timing and exit-code lines for all 17 browser scripts plus the shared demo build, and an EXIT summary of every script run so far. The first failure still stops the lane; the trap preserves its exit code and removes the temporary demo build. Order, checks, and retries are unchanged. With CI or CHECK_DIR set, existing screenshots go under `${CHECK_DIR:-.ci}/browser-evidence`. The failure artifact includes those PNGs and the existing herdr logs, with hidden files explicitly enabled for the narrowly scoped `.ci` paths. Evidence is deliberately restricted to sticky-modifier and file-viewer checkpoints (eight viewport PNGs on a complete passing run). The UI suite has evidence-only assertions and viewport changes, and the key-bar demo adds viewport changes and font waits, so their evidence branches remain off in the lane. No live user session is captured: these scripts use isolated test panes and synthetic transcripts. Outside CI/CHECK_DIR, explicit local UI_EVIDENCE_DIR behavior is preserved. Remaining devswha#552 work: - Capture every open page at the exact failure point; the scripts have no common browser launcher/failure handler. - Playwright traces of failing contexts. - Timestamps on the web UI test servers' own lines; there is no common test-server output wrapper across these scripts. - Recording browser-received frames. - Multiple-run measurement for devswha#548 and decisions on devswha#553; this PR does not split the lane. - Investigating the seven historical fork runs with no jobs/logs. No CHANGELOG entry: CI/test-only changes are not user-visible, following devswha#548, devswha#581, and devswha#590. ## Validation - Four cheap `scripts/ci-browser.test.ts` tests exercise the real shell lane against stub commands: passing and failing summaries, exact exit 7, first-failure stop, temporary-directory cleanup, evidence filtering, and CI/CHECK_DIR/local behavior. The first three failed on the unchanged lane before implementation, then all four passed. - Captured a failing stub run: both passing steps and the failing step print numeric seconds, the EXIT summary includes all three, and the process exits 7. - `bash -n scripts/ci-browser.sh` and `git diff --check` passed. - `dori heavy tri-client3 -- bun run check fast` passed: actionlint, generated types, typecheck, build, and 1,932 unit tests passed, 0 failed (six existing skips). - The PR's CI browser lane will provide the real-surface timing proof and comparison against recent main runs. Refs devswha#552 * fix(alerts): one chime per alert across open tabs (devswha#632) ## What was wrong With the alert sound on and the app open in two tabs, every tab chimed for the same alert: each tab played its own audio and nothing told one tab what the other played (devswha#439 left the cross-tab half out because a Web Lock alone could drop a question no tab told). ## The rule (`src/lib/alertTurns.ts`) BroadcastChannel only, so it works on plain-HTTP LAN addresses where Web Locks do not exist. All times are this tab's own receive times, never a sender's. - A tab claims an alert (machine + pane + kind) only when it would chime it itself: alerts and sound on, not the pane in front of a visible tab, and its audio context running (`canPlayAlertSound`). A tab that would not chime never claims, so another tab chimes alone. - After a 150 ms window the lowest tab id among live claims plays and posts `chimed`; `chimed` cancels the others and settles that alert's claims. Only a `chimed` heard up to 400 ms before a tab's own alert counts as telling it, so the same pane can ask again soon after, and a tab ignores a late duplicate `chimed` for an alert it played itself. A `chimed` is sent only once the audio actually starts, also for a question queued behind another chime (`playAlertSound` now resolves when its notes begin). - No alert is dropped on a guess: a tab that deferred a question or a finish chimes it itself if no `chimed` arrives within 600 ms per lower claimant (so a third tab waits for the second), and at once when the winner withdraws (its audio could not play, or the tab is closing: `pagehide` withdraws its claims; `pageshow` reopens the channel). - No BroadcastChannel: chime at once, as before. A chime before the first tap or key is still skipped, never queued. Costs: an alert now waits about 150 ms for the window (up to a timer tick longer in a background tab). If timers in both tabs run more than 1.5 s late, both may chime: a double chime, never a lost question. ## Reproduction on b82584d The new two-tab case in `scripts/alert-sound-regression.ts` (which can now also run on its own) against the unchanged app: ```text $ dori heavy … bun run check run bun scripts/alert-sound-regression.ts PASS no alert sound before the page was tapped … (4 more PASS) two-tab shared alert: 2 chimes (4 notes) AssertionError: exactly one chime across two tabs for the same alert 4 !== 2 ``` The updated `src/lib/alertSound.test.ts` against the unchanged `alertSound.ts`: 10 pass, 4 fail (a queued question is confirmed only once it starts; an interrupted one is not). ## After - `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test ./src/lib/alertTurns.test.ts ./src/lib/alertSound.test.ts`: 28 pass, 0 fail. `bun run typecheck` clean. `bun run check fast` passed locally (1950 tests, 0 fail). - Browser, through `bun run check run bun scripts/alert-sound-regression.ts`: all 7 steps pass, including `two-tab shared alert: 1 chimes (2 notes)`, "two open tabs chime once for a shared alert" and "the other tab tells a question in front of the first tab". It passed twice: once in this worktree, and once with only the `src/` change applied to a clean checkout of b82584d. ## Test setup change The script's primer now waits (bounded) for each `working` event before reporting again. In one worktree under heavy load, two runs timed out at the first existing step, waiting for a `blocked` event that never reached the page. The same fix with the old primer passed in a clean checkout, so the fix did not cause it. The cause was not confirmed; the pacing is a robustness change only. Review rounds: see the Codex comments below (fixes bbb9f9f, 76450d2, 18ee46a and 1efe181; Lows listed there). ## Finishes get the safety net too (1efe181) A tab that deferred a finish used to drop it at the claim deadline, so a winning tab whose audio did not start, or that froze, left the finish unheard in every tab, where before this PR every tab chimed. A finish now waits like a question: the winner's withdraw redecides at once and the 600 ms rescue plays it if no `chimed` arrives. The winner confirms a finish as soon as it plays (`playAlertSound("done")` answers synchronously), so the rescue does not double it. The unit test "does not give a finish a question safety net", which pinned the old behavior, is replaced by "chimes a finish in another tab when the winning tab cannot play it", "chimes a finish once when the winning tab played it" and "rescues a finish when the winning tab never answers". Fixes devswha#449 ## A slow winner, and the pane's next question (after the CI failure on 1efe181) Run 37886117774 chimed one question twice in "two open tabs chime once for a shared alert". Two ways lead there, both fixed here: - The winner's `chimed` can come late: its audio waits behind a chime its tab still plays (a finish, a Settings preview), or the runner is slow. The other tab's 600 ms rescue then chimed the alert again. The winner now posts `playing` before its audio starts; a tab deferring that alert then waits for its `chimed` or `withdraw` (a withdraw still redecides at once), up to 5 s, after which it rescues. A winner that freezes mid-play therefore costs a late chime, never a lost one. - A tab that chimed the pane's previous question less than 1.5 s ago ignored every `chimed` for that pane and kind as a late duplicate, also the genuine one for the next question it was deferring (Codex's M2), and its rescue chimed again. A `chimed` now settles an alert this tab is waiting on; it is ignored as a duplicate only when nothing is pending. Tests: unit tests "takes another tab's chime of the pane's next question although it chimed the first one itself", "waits for a winner that is playing, however long its audio waits, and chimes once" (question and finish), "still rescues an alert whose winner said it was playing and then went silent" and "redecides at once when a winner that said it was playing withdraws". `scripts/alert-sound-regression.ts` gains "a winner that confirms late is not chimed over by the other tab", which holds every `chimed` back by a second in both tabs. * docs(readme): re-shoot the hero and the six feature clips on v0.4.0 (devswha#647) Re-shoots the README's hero video and all six feature clips on **v0.4.0**. That release reworked the UI: the two-list sidebar (Workspaces and Agents), the single status column, the composer with its + button, the greeting on an empty chat, and the key bar's Enter key. The old clips still showed v0.3.49 and the sidebar's Needs you list, which v0.4.0 removed. Docs only: WebPs, the four READMEs, `site/index.html`, and the hero's upload link in `scripts/build-site.ts`. No app code, no CHANGELOG, no version change. ## What changed | | Upload | Length | Change from the current README | |---|---|---|---| | Hero | [herdr-web-ui.mp4](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d854dbb6-64bd-4eba-81c7-fbd3f525726b) | 26.5 s | New story (see below) | | Switch to the live terminal | [upload](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/32ca9aa4-960f-4629-9fb5-17c12ba35c80) | 11.5 s | The phone uses the key bar's new Enter | | Your herdr layout, in the browser | [upload](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/22d10639-9aa6-4953-a5f3-a1b743f4053b) | 12.5 s | Status column replaces the READY/RUN/DONE badges; two-line rows | | Know when an agent needs you | [upload](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b228a2b8-6db5-4546-a15b-972056000cab) | 11.3 s | The Needs you list is gone; the desk shows the red ? and the card in the chat | | Send a screenshot from your phone | [upload](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a193b426-259c-47d9-bd73-10acc2594265) | 13.8 s | + replaces the paperclip; starts on the greeting | | Open what the agent made | [upload](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bc419d3e-ebda-4fb5-acc5-e498609559fe) | 10.0 s | Same beats on v0.4.0 | | Branch off a second agent | [upload](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/150a4c9d-7667-4f63-ba56-8f91e6a25878) | 11.7 s | Reframed: the phone beside the browser's sidebar, ending on the nested row | **The hero, in order:** 1. herdr's own TUI, with Claude Code at work in checkout-api. 2. A dissolve into the browser's Terminal view of the same pane. Claude Code's screen stays still: both grids are 98x35 in the same cells. 3. The turn finishes in the browser, and a click on Chat shows the same session as a chat. 4. The camera pulls back to the phone, which shows the same chat. 5. On the phone: ⋯ → New worktree → Claude Code → Create. The browser's sidebar nests the new checkout. 6. It ends on the phone's greeting, "What should Claude do in worktree-…?". Both apps use their default themes: herdr's catppuccin and the web's amber. **Text changes:** - The hero's caption, `site/index.html`'s aria-label and show-note, and the site poster time (`at: "11.8"`, where both screens show the same chat). - All six alts in all four languages. Each one matches what its loop shows; attach's alt names the step that only the full video shows. - Two captions: the terminal one ("Enter beside it") and the attach one ("The + button"). - The footnote ("live recording … no cuts") still holds and is unchanged. **Checks:** - Each upload was fetched back: 200, a ranged GET gives 206, and its SHA-256 matches the local render. - `bun run build:site` passes. The hero downloaded at full size (3,964,804 B) and the poster was cut at 11.8 s. ## How it was made (disclosure) - **Real:** - herdr-web-ui **v0.4.0** (built `dist/`) on herdr 0.9.0, in the separate `herdr-web-ui-demo` session. - Real Claude Code 2.1.294 turns on a real account: 4 in the hero, 0–3 per clip take (worktree needs none). - Real git worktrees made by herdr, and real clicks and taps. - Recorded at the same moment on one clock (herdr's TUI, a 1280×800 desktop page and a 390×844 phone page) and played back 1:1, with no speed change and no time cuts. - The latest release is now v0.4.2; these videos were shot on v0.4.0. - **Staged:** - `checkout-api` is a small demo repo. web-dashboard (Codex · working), infra and release are props: their agent states are set through herdr's API. - Warm-up questions and tasks were sent through herdr's API off camera, not typed. Warm-ups also scroll Claude Code's header (plan line) off the screen. - Claude Code ran with acceptEdits, the publishing tools denied and spinner tips off. Bash and AskUserQuestion were denied where a clip doesn't need them (alerts keeps the question; attach's two later Bash prompts were approved off camera, after its cut ends). - The attach screenshot was rendered from the repo's own receipt page. - The phone is an emulated page on the same machine. - The host name reads "workstation", and paths read `~`. - **Composited:** - The wallpaper, the window and phone frames, and the camera moves. - The arrow and the tap disc, drawn at the recorded pointer or touch. - The hero's dissolve, a crossfade of two recordings of the same moment. For the film, herdr's terminal is xterm.js in a 1210×775 page and the browser's terminal font is 16 px (default 13), so the grids match. - **Privacy:** every frame of every render and its source takes passed the OCR check against the account, machine and network names. The flagged hits were OCR misreads of motion-blurred UI text, checked frame by frame. ## Known, left as the app does it - After Send, "No conversation yet" shows for about 0.2 s. - Switching to Chat shows "Loading conversation…" for 4–7 frames. - A new worktree's pane goes through its shell and terminal before its chat. In the hero this happens small, during a camera move. - Chat bubbles show a clock time. These could be app issues, but this PR does not touch the app. ## For the README session picking this up - Text that is translated by hand and worth a native read: the ko/ja/zh-CN alts and captions in README.ko.md, README.ja.md and README.zh-CN.md. - Source material lives in the film worktree, `_film/renders/herdr-web-ui-<clip>.mp4`. The film tooling (`scripts/film/…`) is uncommitted there and is not part of this PR. - Re-cutting a loop: `bun scripts/film/webp.ts scripts/film/cut-<clip>.ts --q 85 --out docs/media/readme/<clip>.webp`, run in that worktree. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) ## Chinese page (57f0d64) `site/zh/index.html` gets the same update as `site/index.html`: the six clips link to their new uploads with the alts and captions from `README.zh-CN.md`, and the hero's aria-label and note tell the new story. Before this, the Chinese page would have kept the old upload links, the Needs you and paperclip alts, and the health.ts hero text. `bun scripts/build-site.ts` passes; `/zh/` renders the new clips with no 4xx or page errors. --------- Co-authored-by: e2e <e2e@example.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(chat): read a Claude pane's session on a Mac whose locale puts the day first (devswha#646) ## Change On a Mac whose language puts the day before the month (English (UK), for one), every Claude pane's chat showed "Conversation unavailable — show terminal output" when herdr's Claude integration is not installed. Without the hook, the server finds the session through Claude's native PID record (`~/.claude/sessions/<pid>.json`) and accepts it only when its `procStart` equals `ps -o lstart` for that PID. Claude Code records the start in the C locale's order, but the server ran `ps` in its own locale: | | | |---|---| | `procStart` Claude 2.1.285 wrote | `Fri Oct 9 04:43:00 2026` | | `ps -o lstart` under `LANG=en_GB.UTF-8` | `Fri 9 Oct 04:43:00 2026` | So the record looked like a reused PID's, the pane had no session (`no_session_id`) and the chat fell back to the scrollback. `darwinProcessStart` now runs `ps` with `LC_ALL=C`, as `gjc-runtime.ts` already does since devswha#484. Linux (`/proc` ticks) and Windows (FILETIME) compare numbers and are unaffected. The test fixture built `procStart` with the same locale-dependent `ps` call as the code, so it passed in every locale. It now writes the record as Claude does, and a new macOS test runs the check under `en_GB.UTF-8`. ## Validation - `HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test ./server/claude-store.test.ts` on macOS with `LANG=en_GB.UTF-8`: before the fix, "reads an exact live PID's session" and the new "reads it on a Mac whose locale puts the day first" fail (`Received: null`); after it, 35 pass. CI runs no unit tests on macOS, so these two skip there. - Against a live Claude Code 2.1.285 pane with no herdr hook: `claudeProcessSession` now returns the session and `claudeTranscriptFile` finds its `.jsonl`. - `bun run check fast`: generated types, typecheck and build pass. `test:unit` has 1926 pass and 3 fail, all in `scripts/check.test.ts` > `isolate`. They fail the same way on unchanged `main` on this Mac, because the temp directory makes the herdr socket path too long (120 > 100). * fix(plugin): discover Bun when launched with a minimal PATH (devswha#648) ## Change Closes devswha#637 - Unix build/start/action/phone 명령과 preflight가 같은 Bun 탐색을 사용합니다. - 기존 PATH 우선순위와 인자 경계를 보존하며 Windows 명령과 Bun 최소 버전 검사는 유지합니다. ## Validation 경로·인자·manifest 테스트 11개, 타입·빌드·생성 타입 검사 및 실제 Phone entrypoint 계약 검사 통과. 실제 `env -i HOME="$HOME" PATH=/usr/bin:/bin sh scripts/with-bun.sh --version`은 `1.4.2`를 반환했습니다. 전체 단위 실행은 1938 통과·33 생략·1 실패였습니다. 실패는 변경하지 않은 `server/collector.test.ts`의 recovery 타이밍 테스트이며, 분리 실행한 해당 파일 27개는 통과했습니다. 같은 collector의 다른 브랜치 전체 실행도 통과했으며 이 PR에서 해당 테스트를 바꾸지 않았습니다. Windows 실제 실행은 검증하지 않았습니다. 모든 검증은 별도 작업 공간과 소유한 테스트/demo 환경에서 수행했습니다. 사용자의 실행 중 앱·terminal은 변경하지 않았습니다. --------- Co-authored-by: studiood <253281802+od-studio-webagency@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Hako <devswha@gmail.com> * fix(terminal): a tab you are not using leaves the pane's size alone (devswha#658) ## Problem A herdr-web-ui tab left open on a desktop took a shared pane's size even while nobody was using it. The terminal lens re-asserts its grid on `visibilitychange`, on `role-ack` (every reconnect), from its ResizeObserver, and through the attach a reconnect replays. A window that only turned visible behind another app counted, for example when the screen woke. So did one that reconnected in the background. Seen on a MacBook running herdr's own TUI in Ghostty, with the pane split to about 105 columns: 1. The phone opened the pane in the terminal lens (54×62). 2. The user came back to herdr in Ghostty. 3. A Chrome tab on the same pane, sitting behind Ghostty, turned visible and resized the pane to its own 202×54. 4. Herdr's TUI then drew the 202-column pane inside its 105-column split, cut off at the edge. The sidecar's argv (`pty-host.mjs 202 54 …`) showed the size came from that tab. Herdr 0.9.3 keeps an attach's size after it leaves, so the pane stayed that way. ## Change `PaneTerminal` drives the shared grid only while the tab is in use, meaning `document.visibilityState === "visible"` and `document.hasFocus()`: - `visibilitychange` refits only when the tab is visible with the focus. The window's `focus` still refits, so going back to a tab takes the pane back as before. - `role-ack` refits only in use. Out of use, the refit waits for the user. - The ResizeObserver still fits xterm, but sends `resize` only in use, so a window the system moves or resizes in the background does not take the pane. - Out of use (window `blur`, or a hidden or unfocused `visibilitychange`), the pane is marked `keepSize`. A reconnect in the background then attaches with `keep_size` and adopts the pane's size, as the chat lens already does. The next refit clears it. - A pane attach out of use (a reload behind another app, or the next pane after the one shown closed in herdr) goes with `keep_size` too. The lens effect, which runs on every load, and a chosen font's load resize the pty only in use, so they don't take the pane right after that attach. Out of use they fit only xterm. There are no server or protocol changes. Not addressed here: after a phone uses a pane, herdr's TUI still shows it at the phone's size until something resizes it. Giving a pane back to herdr's layout size when no tab is in use would need a new frame. The server also can't tell whether a native TUI is attached, so on a headless herdr that would resize panes to herdr's default layout. I left that for a separate discussion. ## Validation - New browser check `checkBackgroundTabKeepsTerminalSize` (`scripts/chat-size-regression.ts`, run from `ui-regression.ts`). It uses a desktop page and a phone page on one owned pane, and a second pane the desktop moves on to: - The phone takes the grid. - The desktop turns visible without the focus: no `resize`, and the pane keeps the phone's size (`stty size`). - The desktop reconnects in the background: the only frame is `attach` with `keep_size: true`, and the pane keeps the phone's size. - The desktop reloads in the background, with a chosen terminal font: the only frame is `attach` with `keep_size: true`, and the pane keeps the phone's size. - The pane closes in herdr while the desktop is in the background (the phone has left): the desktop moves on to herdr's focused pane with an `attach` with `keep_size: true`, and that pane keeps its size. - The desktop takes the focus: that pane goes to the desktop's size. - The check fails on the previous `PaneTerminal.tsx` ("a window shown without the focus sends no resize") and passes with this change. Each later step fails with its own fix undone (the attach, the font load, the lens effect). - `checkChatKeepsTerminalSize` and `checkPaneSwitchKeepsTerminalSize` still pass. `document.hasFocus()` is `true` in Playwright pages (focus emulation), so the existing browser checks keep their behavior. - `bun run check fast`: generated types, typecheck and build pass. Unit tests (with current `main` merged): 1964 pass, 3 fail. The 3 failures are `scripts/check.test.ts > isolate`, which fail on unchanged `main` on this Mac because the macOS temp dir makes the socket path too long (120 > 100). - `scripts/ui-regression.ts` via `bun run check run`: exit 0, 93 PASS lines. - I haven't tried it on a real iPhone. Returning to the app there should refit through `visibilitychange` with the focus, or through the window's `focus`. A page opened fresh while `document.hasFocus()` is `false` attaches with `keep_size` and waits for that `focus` too. --------- Co-authored-by: Hako <devswha@gmail.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Hako <devswha@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: e2e <e2e@example.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: studiood <studio-od@naver.com> Co-authored-by: studiood <253281802+od-studio-webagency@users.noreply.github.com>
