…oser Stopping a chat message right after sending, before Claude Code answers, makes Claude Code take the turn back and put the text in its own input box. The chat kept showing the message as sent with an empty composer, and the next send was refused with input_draft because the box was not empty, while the terminal could simply edit and resend. - server: noteSubmitted keeps the chat's last message per pane; claudeRestoredDraft recognises exactly that text typed back in Claude's box. freeClaudeBox (both send paths) empties that copy with two Esc presses while the agent is not working, re-reads the box and sends; any other draft, bash mode, clipped box or unverified colors still refuse. - GET /api/pane/prompt answers `restored` from the same ANSI read; the composer takes it back without focus, clears only an untouched fill, and the chat does not render that trailing turn. - transcript: Claude writes the re-send as a sibling of the cancelled prompt (same parentUuid, no assistant between); parseClaudeTranscript drops the cancelled one, and turnStarts does not open a turn at the re-send so the incremental page reads both together.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
The restored read uses colors that were never verified to show the live screen.
claudeRestoredDraft receives the ANSI visible read twice: once as its live argument, after the escape codes are stripped, and once as colors. That read is the viewport, not the detection read of the live screen. claudeInputDraft relies on its caller to verify that the colors match the live screen, and freeClaudeBox does this through viewportShowsLive. This route skips that check.
Failing scenario:
- A Claude pane is scrolled up in herdr.
- The viewport shows an older input box that holds the last chat message as typed text.
- The route returns that text as
restored. - The composer fills with text that the live box does not hold, and the chat hides the last user turn.
The server send path refuses this case safely. The UI state is still wrong until the user scrolls the pane back.
Fix: read detection text as live, and pass the ANSI read as colors only when viewportShowsLive holds. Alternatively, reuse the claudeBoxReads logic.

…e a stopped send (#760) ## Change Three chat-send fixes for Claude panes reported against v0.4.6. - **Send now steers a working Claude turn (#737).** `dispatchPendingText` committed every pending message with Enter, and Claude Code queues what Enter commits during a turn. When Send now steers a working Claude pane (`!automatic && beforeEnter.working`), the committing key is now `ctrl+enter`, which Claude Code takes as "send now". herdr encodes that key as the pane asked: `ESC[27;5;13~` under modifyOtherKeys (what Claude Code asks for), `ESC[13;5u` under the kitty protocol, and a plain CR for a program that asked for neither (measured on herdr 0.9.3). Automatic next-turn delivery, an idle agent and every other agent keep Enter. - **The pending paste and its key carry the write-time guard (#666).** Both RPCs now pass the lease-aware guard (`authorizePending` as a predicate) that #624 gave the other input paths, so a sender that detaches, switches roles, disconnects or is revoked while herdr's connect is awaited writes nothing. A guard that refuses the paste leaves the message unsent (held, with the lease's own error code). One that refuses the key after the paste leaves it `uncertain` (`submit_changed`), as before. - **A send stopped before Claude answers goes back to the composer.** This carries #741 by @Haeminway1 (commit authored by them), rebased on main with conflicts resolved. See that PR for the full description. On top of it, two fixes from its review: - `GET /api/pane/prompt` took the viewport's ANSI read as both the box and its colors, so a pane scrolled to an older box holding the chat's last message answered it as `restored`, filling the composer and hiding the turn (CodeRabbit). The route now checks the read it already makes, then reads the live screen's box and takes the viewport's colors only where `viewportShowsLive` verifies them, as the send paths do. - The two Esc presses that empty Claude's restored copy now ask the sender's right before each press and pass it to herdr as a guard (CodeRabbit security review). Fixes #737 Fixes #666 Carries #741 ## Verification Integration and contract tests ran on an isolated herdr session (`HERDR_TEST_SESSION=herdr-web-ui-test-l2`). - Reproduced first. `server/pending-input.contract.test.ts` gained three tests: a Claude steer commits with Ctrl+Enter while automatic delivery and Codex keep Enter; and the paste's and the key's herdr connects are held (a wrapped `paneSendText`/`paneSendKeys`) while the sender switches observe→interact. All three failed on main (Claude got `\r`; the lapsed lease still pasted and still committed) and pass with the fix. - `restored` route: a new test in the same file scrolls a pane to an older box holding the chat's message. It answers `restored: null`, and the live box at the bottom answers the message. With #741's original route it fails (`Received: "run the tests"`). - `bun run typecheck`: pass. - `bun run test:unit`: 2460 pass, 0 fail. - `bun test ./server/pending-input.contract.test.ts ./server/submit.contract.test.ts ./server/api.contract.test.ts`: all pass. `pending-input` is 41/41 and `submit` 36/36 after updating #741's Esc assertion for the guard argument. - `bun run build`, then `scripts/restored-draft-demo-regression.ts` (#741's, added to `ci-browser.sh`), `composer-fit-demo-regression.ts` and `held-rows-demo-regression.ts`: all PASS. - `CHECK_MAX_RUNS=8 bun run check full` on 6b385d4 (before the merge of main): workflow syntax, generated types, typecheck, build, unit tests, integration (exit 0) and all 26 browser-lane scripts (exit 0). - After merging `origin/main` (5792d71, #755; only `CHANGELOG.md` conflicted): `bun run typecheck` pass, `bun run test:unit` 2467 pass / 0 fail, the three contract files 185 pass / 0 fail, and `restored-draft`, `composer-fit` and #755's `default-view` browser scripts PASS. Not verified live against a real Claude Code: the key choice follows the issue's own live reproduction (Claude Code 2.1.294), and the bytes herdr sends were measured above. --------- Co-authored-by: Haemin <haemin331@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Stopping a chat message right after sending it, before Claude Code answers, left the chat stuck. Claude Code takes such a turn back and puts the text back in its own input box, so the terminal can edit and resend it. The chat kept showing the message as sent, left the composer empty, and refused the next send with
input_draft("Claude Code's input box in the terminal is not empty"), because the box now held the chat's own message.Reproduced on Claude Code 2.1.296 with herdr 0.9.3: send from the chat, press Stop before any reply, then send again.
noteSubmittednow keeps the chat's last message per pane (lastChatSubmitted).claudeRestoredDraftrecognizes that exact text as typed text back in Claude's box: whitespace-insensitive, since the terminal wraps it, and only with verified colors. Both send paths go throughfreeClaudeBox. While the agent is not working, it empties that copy with two Esc presses, reads the box again, and only then sends. Any other draft is refused withinput_draftas before: text typed or changed in the terminal, bash mode, a clipped box, a placeholder, or a box without verified colors (chat: a queued message is pasted over a draft already in the agent's input #609, fix(chat): refuse immediate sends over Claude input drafts #677). Ctrl+C is never used, because it would arm "press Ctrl-C again to exit".GET /api/pane/promptanswersrestoredfrom the ANSI read it already makes forsuggestion, and older servers omit it. The composer takes the text back without focus, so a phone's keyboard stays down. It clears only a fill the user has not touched and never replaces text the user typed. While the text is restored, the chat does not draw that trailing user turn, which matches the terminal.parentUuid, with no assistant entry between them.parseClaudeTranscriptdrops the cancelled prompt.turnStartsdoes not open a turn at such a re-send, so the incremental newest-page read (settled/live) parses both together. Without this, the cancelled message showed up again beside the sent one after the resend.shared/protocol.ts,server/AGENTS.mdandCHANGELOG.mdare updated.Related: #728 offers to clear an arbitrary terminal draft after the user confirms. This PR covers only the chat's own cancelled message, needs no confirmation, and works on several rows. The two complement each other. They touch the same check in
server/index.ts, so whichever lands second needs a small rebase.Validation
