  Pane[Selected PC and pane process] --> Native[Native home and eligible resources]
  Native --> Cache[Shared scoped command inventory]
  Cache --> Composer[Composer suggestions]
  Cache --> Mentions[Transcript skill mentions]
  Screen[Native terminal output] --> Cards[Informational cards]
  Store[Native transcript] --> Chat[Turns and skill activity]
Loading
  • Offer /retry, /help, /status, /reload-skills, /version, /profile, /plan, /review, /init and eligible individual skills. /diff, /context, other native menus and multi-skill bundle presentation remain outside this scope.
  • Resolve resources from the selected native process, not the bridge's profile. Match native discovery precedence, project-disable settings, organization selection and metadata gates. Require native project trust and current scan attestation for project skills; bound filesystem reads and fail closed on ambiguous identities or collisions.
  • Show recognized complete single-skill envelopes as the actual user request plus a skill chip. Preserve unknown, quoted, clipped and ambiguous text. Native stored messages and model input are unchanged.
  • Informational cards show the native screen, not durable transcript turns. Dismiss sends no keys; recognized Ink pagers expose explicit native navigation and Close. Unknown layouts stay in Terminal. Successful reloads refresh the selected scope without a browser reload; failures do not.
  • /plan, /init and /review retain native execution and transcript persistence. Recognized approval cards preserve warnings and require explicit consent.

Integrated upstream main 4a9226f, including #949, #964, #967 and #970. Hermes now calls paneProcessInfo and agentGet; its fulfilled RPC guard exceptions are removed. Preserve upstream phone-grid reclamation, socket probes and held-draft behavior. Keep the cache in upstream's shared paneCommandCache.ts, rather than restoring a competing Composer-local cache. Changelog notes now use a fragment.

Evidence

  • Before: a captured native classic /profile redraw put its result before the command echo, leaving Chat without a card. The new regression failed with an undefined result. After: complete reordered results parse, ambiguous earlier results remain rejected, and browser-driven CLI and Ink command runs passed before this upstream integration.
  • Before: a held attachment's fresh resume could report input-ready while xterm still refused typing until output arrived. After: the regression delays resumed output and verifies the full typed marker reaches the actual owned native pane, rather than merely checking a WebSocket frame.
  • Real React Composer and Markdown skill-matching smoke passed after integration: late pre-reload reads cannot replace refreshed inventory, remount retains the current answer, disconnect/reconnect refreshes both consumers, and PC/cwd/agent changes update both together. Inventories and the reload signal were synthetic; this is not a new native Hermes or real-model run. No browser errors were observed.
  • HERDR_TEST_MODE=unit bun test ./server/portal.test.ts ./src/lib/paneCommandCache.test.ts: 37 passed, 0 failed. Cache regressions cover stale reads, abandoned requests, scope transitions, PC/pane isolation and shared invalidation. Portal fixtures now wait for their own processes to execute before inspecting identity; production Portal checks are unchanged.
  • Upstream-integration verification before the review fixes: UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check full passed workflow syntax, generated types, typecheck, production build, 3,579 unit tests (8 skipped), integration (472 passed, 1 skipped) and the complete browser lane, including held-attachment resume. Zero failures. Report 2e5d47d6-e5bf-4114-bad9-0c67cc973779 records unchanged source and an unchanged browser artifact built in that run.
  • Live isolated-herdr smoke passed for both branches: with a different owned pane focused, paneProcessInfo still returned the requested pane. agentGet preserved agent_not_found for an untracked shell pane, exercising the transcript fallback's native error case. No native Hermes process was launched for this wrapper smoke.
  • Earlier owned native CLI and Ink checks exercised all nine advertised built-ins, skill add/remove reloads and a real single-skill invocation. They verified native stored instructions remain intact, real plan-file writes, protected-file consent before init writes, independent review-leaf delivery and retry completion. Model responses were fictional local fixtures, not external model quality evidence. No real multi-page Next control appeared in those runs; navigation remains regression-covered rather than claimed as a fresh multi-page native smoke.
  • First CodeRabbit follow-up fixes reuse gateway start evidence across profiles, restrict fallback suppression to native chrome owning the screen tail, and refresh both command-inventory consumers on repeated identical reload results. Its UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast passed all steps with 3,584 unit tests passed, 8 skipped and zero failures; report 5885c06c-03d1-42de-99f6-54e1604d90bd verifies unchanged source. Focused Hermes, discovery, prompt and cache suites passed 359 tests.
  • Fresh actual-Composer and Markdown browser smoke verified a second identical reload updates both consumers, dismissal and ordinary rerender start no extra reads, and dismissal preserves an in-flight refresh. No browser errors. Command inventory and reload signals were fictional fixtures.
  • Fresh HTTP prompt smoke used a real isolated herdr pane with synthetic screens and a fixture-only blocked-Hermes metadata override: old approval/pager prose above a new (y/n) wait produced the fallback Enter card; an active unsupported Diff pager produced no card. No native Hermes process was launched. The full integration/browser lanes above were not rerun for this review follow-up.
  • Diff-scoped TypeScript AST documentation audit found useful JSDoc on all 96 identified named functions and methods (zero missing). CodeRabbit's subsequent automatic coverage check reported 97.62% across 84 functions, above its required 80%; that bot result applies to 0f9f64a.
  • Boundary follow-up stops the closing-border scan at unrelated non-panel output instead of borrowing another box's border. The literal suggested loop exposed a malformed-pager regression (283 prompt tests passed, 1 failed); recognizing intact native pager navigation preserves fail-closed handling even when its body and Close caption are damaged. Fresh HTTP smoke on an isolated native pane returned fallback Enter for old prose above an unrelated boxed question, and no card for the damaged active pager. Screen contents and blocked-Hermes metadata were fixtures, not a native Hermes run.
  • Final boundary-fix UNIT_TEST_WORKERS=2 bun run check fast passed workflow syntax, generated types, typecheck, production build and 3,585 unit tests (8 skipped, zero failures). Report 18818ebe-4fe9-4d7a-80dd-4d0dff71ed92 verifies unchanged source. The local documentation audit remains 96/96.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way. No native-store migration or model-input changes.

Blast Radius: Chat.

Discovery differences can omit suggestions or leave output in Terminal. The shared inventory also serves transcript skill mentions. Informational cards are transient. Native environment discovery has platform limits; macOS and Windows native behavior are not claimed as exercised here. Local verification is complete and this PR is ready for review. Hosted checks and maintainer review remain merge requirements; local verification is not review approval.

Changes: Hermes Chat

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native command and skill discovery
server/hermes-commands.ts, server/hermes-commands.test.ts
Adds bounded native metadata and skill discovery. Eligibility checks cover project trust and scan attestations, profile configuration, environment, ownership, collisions, and scan limits.
Hermes process and transcript identity
server/hermes.ts, server/hermes.test.ts, server/conventions.test.ts
Validates process identity and environment, resolves pane command context and runtime sessions, and routes pane lookup through Herdr client helpers.
Pane command inventory and refresh
server/commands.ts, server/index.ts, src/lib/paneCommandCache.ts, src/lib/paneCommandCache.test.ts, src/lib/useSkillMatcher.ts, src/components/ChatView.tsx, src/components/Composer.tsx, src/components/PaneTerminal.tsx
Passes Hermes context to command generation and scopes cached commands by pane, machine, agent, and working directory. Reloads, invalidation, and request cancellation refresh command suggestions and the skill matcher.
Hermes messages, cards, and answers
server/hermes.ts, server/prompt.ts, server/prompt.test.ts, server/index.ts
Recognizes complete skill invocation scaffolding and parses Hermes informational and approval panels. Answer handling validates current panels and suppresses lingering answered panels.
Hermes behavior documentation

…bar (#964)

## Problem

A phone shows a pane in the terminal lens while a desktop tab of the
same pane takes the pty back to its own size (a click or key in the
desktop terminal, or the desktop window coming back to the front). The
phone's xterm stays at phone width while herdr streams rows drawn for
the desktop's width, so lines wrap in the wrong place and agent TUIs
look scrambled. Typing in the input line, Send, Enter and key-bar taps
did not fix it. Only a touch on the grid itself, a focus change or a
reload did.

## Cause

In the terminal lens, an interact client stores `pane-geometry` in
`sharedGridRef` and then ignores it, because it drives the grid itself.
The only thing that took the size back while the window kept its focus
was `reclaim`, and that runs only for a pointerdown or keydown whose
target is inside `term.element`. The phone's usual input paths are all
outside that element:
- `sendTerminalLine` submits from the `TerminalInput` textarea.
- `pressEnter` sends `\r`/keys from the same line.
- `pressKey` calls `term.input()` from the key bar, with no DOM event on
the grid.

## Fix

- The size check moves out of `reclaim` into `reassertIfStale()`. When
the shared grid differs from this grid, the tab is in use and has not
released its pane, it calls `refit()` (force resize).
- `reclaim` keeps its event filters (target inside the grid, no
IME/repeat key, primary button) and then calls the helper.
- `sendTerminalLine`, `pressEnter` and `pressKey` call it before they
send, so the resize frame goes out before the input on the same socket.
- `TerminalInput` gets an optional `onFocus`, wired to the same helper.
Tapping into the input line counts as the user being back, the same way
a tap on the grid does.
- No resize was added for the keyboard opening or closing. That is a
separate policy question (viewport-resize-2).

## Tests

- `scripts/chat-size-regression.ts`
`checkFocusedWindowReclaimsTerminalSize` (already in
`ui-contexts-checks.ts`, so it runs in the browser lane) now continues
with two clients after its existing steps. A desktop at 1280x800 and a
phone at 390x844 in line mode take turns:
  - a tap into the input line;
  - a line sent with Enter;
  - a key-bar Ctrl+C;
  - Enter on the empty line.

Each phone step comes after a desktop key has taken the pty back. Each
step asserts that the phone's own-size `resize` frame goes out before
its `submit`/`input` frame, and that the pane's shell (`stty size`)
reports the phone's size again.
- `CHAT_SIZE_CASE=reclaim bun scripts/chat-size-regression.ts` now runs
that check on its own.
- Without the `src/` change the new step fails ("a tap into the input
line takes the pane back to the phone's grid"). With it, `bun run check
run --build bun scripts/chat-size-regression.ts` (with
`CHAT_SIZE_CASE=reclaim`) passes.
- `bun run typecheck` and `bun run test:unit` (3069 pass, 0 fail) pass.
- `check full` / `concurrent` was not run.

## Notes

- Source: a mobile-terminal stability audit, finding viewport-resize-1.
Related: #472 (the chat-lens version) and #712 (an attach holds the
pane's size). Neither covers this path.
- No open PR touches `reclaim`, `sharedGridRef`, `sendTerminalLine`,
`pressEnter` or `pressKey`. #951, #950, #946, #945, #936, #935, #932,
#910, #894, #859 and #822 edit other parts of `PaneTerminal.tsx`. #936
also edits `TerminalInput.tsx` (dictation), so a small textual conflict
is possible there.
- The size tug-of-war between two devices that both type into the same
pane remains by design: whichever device the user is typing on takes the
pty. A "sized by another device" notice and passive adoption of the
foreign grid were left out.

…appers (#970)

## Problem

`server/herdr/client.ts` exported an untyped `herdrRpc(method: string,
params: Record<string, unknown>)`. Eleven server files called it
directly for four methods (`pane.process_info` x10, `agent.get` x6,
`pane.send_text` x2, `pane.send_keys` x1), each with its own inline
result type. Nothing stopped `{ target }` reaching `pane.process_info`,
which herdr then silently answers for the focused pane (the AGENTS.md
rule was prose only).

## Change

- `server/herdr/methods.ts`: `HerdrMethods`, a `{ [method]: { params;
result } }` map for those four methods. Params and result bodies come
from the generated schema types; `PaneProcessInfoParams`, `AgentTarget`
and `PaneProcessInfo` are now generator roots
(`scripts/generate-protocol-types.ts`, regenerated
`shared/herdr-api.generated.ts`). The map itself is hand-written because
herdr's schema links a method to its params (`request.oneOf`) but not to
its answer: answers are one `ResponseResult.oneOf` told apart only by a
`type` tag (`pane_process_info`, `agent_info`, `ok`).
- `herdrRpc<M extends keyof HerdrMethods>(method, params:
HerdrMethods[M]["params"], …): Promise<HerdrMethods[M]["result"]>` is
the first overload. An untyped fallback overload stays for methods the
map does not list yet. It refuses a typed method name
(`UntypedHerdrMethod<M>` is `never` for one), so
`herdrRpc("pane.process_info", { target })` is a compile error.
`server/herdr/seam.test.ts` pins that with `@ts-expect-error` and checks
the wire params of the new wrappers against a stand-in socket.
- New wrappers: `paneProcessInfo(paneId)` returns one shared
`ProcessInfo` (= generated `PaneProcessInfo`: shell_pid,
foreground_processes with pid/name/argv0/argv) and `agentGet(paneId)`
returns `AgentInfo`. The existing `paneSendText` / `paneSendKeys` now go
through the typed overload. The wrappers call the exported `herdrRpc`
binding, so tests that `spyOn(herdr, "herdrRpc")` keep working.
- Migrated (no open PR touches them): `server/pi.ts`, `server/omp.ts`,
`server/grok-store.ts`, `server/agy-store.ts`, `server/codex.ts` (x3).
Behaviour is unchanged: the same params go on the wire, with the same
default timeout and the same `.catch` / `try` at each call site.
`codex.ts` keeps its old `argv?: string[]` reading through a commented
cast, because the schema allows `argv: null` and that path has never
handled null. Changing that would change behaviour, so it is left for a
separate fix.
- Guard: `server/conventions.test.ts` ("herdr socket") now fails when
server code outside `server/herdr/` uses `herdrRpc`. The message names
the fix ("add a typed wrapper in server/herdr/client.ts; for pane status
use the server/collector.ts listeners") and the allowlist
`HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`. A stale allowlist entry also fails. The
`events.subscribe` / `subscribeEvents` rules from #949 were already
there; their message now also says where `events.subscribe` lives.
- AGENTS.md: the `pane.process_info` line points at `paneProcessInfo` /
`HerdrMethods` and names the enforcing test. Only that one line changes;
#812, #888 and #894 also edit AGENTS.md.

## Allowlist (`HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`, migrated in PR B)

| File | Open PRs touching it |
|------|----------------------|
| `server/conversation.ts` | #869 #912 #923 |
| `server/gjc-runtime.ts` | #912 |
| `server/hermes.ts` | #910 |
| `server/omo.ts` | #923 |
| `server/shell-agent.ts` | #885 #923 |

Built from `gh pr list --state open --limit 100 --json number,files` on
2026-10-14.

## Known limits (closed in PR B)

- The export is still named `herdrRpc`. Renaming it to `herdrRpcUnsafe`
would touch about 33 test files and 30 `scripts/` harnesses, several of
them in open PRs (api.contract, gjc.contract, omo.contract,
ui-regression, pending-input…). Tests and `scripts/` QA harnesses are
outside this guard's scope: they drive herdr (`pane.report_agent`,
`workspace.create`, …) and are not part of the bridge seam.
- A call with an explicit result type,
`herdrRpc<Inline>("pane.process_info", …)`, still reaches the untyped
fallback. That is the form the allowlisted files use, and they may not
change here. In server code the source guard closes this gap. The
fallback goes away once the allowlist is empty.

## Validation

- `bun run check fast`: green. A first run had one failure in
`server/portal.test.ts` ("does not treat an arbitrary interpreter as a
Portal script": the process argv read raced and returned undefined).
This change does not touch that file, it passed alone, and the rerun was
fully green.
- `bun run test:integration`: 455 pass, 0 fail, 14 skip in 38 files
(includes the omp, codex, codex-binding, pi, gjc, omo and hermes
contract tests).
- I checked by hand that the guard fails on a new `herdr.herdrRpc` use
in `server/pi.ts`.

## Follow-up: PR B

Once #869, #885, #910, #912 and #923 land: migrate the five allowlisted
files to `paneProcessInfo` / `agentGet` / `paneSendText` /
`paneSendKeys`, empty `HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`, drop the untyped fallback
overload (or rename it `herdrRpcUnsafe` for tests and scripts), and
consider handling `argv: null` in `codex.ts`.

## Review

Fixed in 290d5f1:

- **Union of typed methods (medium, part of finding 1).** The typed
overload takes `SingleHerdrMethod<M>`, so `herdrRpc(cond ?
"pane.process_info" as const : "agent.get" as const, { target })` no
longer compiles. `seam.test.ts` pins this with a `@ts-expect-error`
line. Checked with tsc: the inferred `herdrRpc("pane.process_info", {
pane_id })` still returns the typed result.
- **Allowlist missed #928 and #859 (medium).** `conventions.test.ts`
adds `HERDR_RPC_PENDING` with `server/gjc-status.ts` (#928) and
`server/index.ts` (#859). Those PRs add a `pane.process_info` call, but
neither file calls herdrRpc on main yet, so the "no longer calls" check
skips them. It would be better for both PRs to switch to
`paneProcessInfo(paneId)`, which is a one-line change in each. After
that, these entries come out.
- **Docs claimed more than the PR delivers (low).** AGENTS.md now says
the guard enforces the rule, not the compiler, and that the allowlisted
and pending files still call herdrRpc. The changelog fragment now says
"no longer compiles without an explicit result type". "PR B" is replaced
with "a follow-up PR that moves these files to the wrappers once their
open PRs land". The fallback docblock in `client.ts` and the
`UntypedHerdrMethod` comment in `methods.ts` list the holes.

Deferred to the follow-up PR that drains `HERDR_RPC_ALLOWED`:

- **Explicit result type and widened string (rest of finding 1).**
`herdrRpc<T>("pane.process_info", { target })` and `herdrRpc(m as
string, { target })` still compile. With an explicit T, the fallback's
`M` stays at `string`, and that cannot be closed while the fallback
shares the name. Closing it means splitting the fallback out as
`herdrRpcUntyped` (or `herdrRpcUnsafe`) and moving about 400 test and
script call sites onto it. It also means converting the
`herdrRpc<T>("pane.process_info" | "agent.get", …)` calls in the five
allowlisted files, which conflicts with their open PRs. `seam.test.ts`
keeps both forms as compiling lines with a comment, so the follow-up can
turn them into `@ts-expect-error`.
- **Error message.** Two overloads are still present, so tsc reports a
bad inferred call such as `{ target }` to pane.process_info as `not
assignable to parameter of type 'never'` instead of naming the wrong
param. That message only gets better with the split.
- **Stale pending entries.** Nothing removes a `HERDR_RPC_PENDING` entry
on its own. If #928 or #859 switches to `paneProcessInfo` or closes, its
entry stays until someone takes it out by hand.
- **Tell the open PRs.** #912, #923, #928, #859 and #910 call
`herdrRpc<T>("pane.process_info", …)`. They should hear about the switch
to `paneProcessInfo` before the split lands. I have not commented on
those PRs.

Checks: `bun run check fast` passed (typecheck, build, 3452 unit tests).
`bun run test:integration` passed (455 pass, 0 fail).

@coderabbitai review

Addressed all three findings in 0f9f64a and added responsibility/invariant JSDoc to the PR-touched functions, including test helpers. The local diff-scoped TypeScript AST audit now finds 96/96 named functions and methods documented, with zero missing. This count is separate from your coverage metric; please recompute Docstring Coverage on the new head against the required 80% threshold.

Fresh fast checks passed with 3,584 unit tests, 8 skipped and zero failures. Actual Composer/Markdown browser smoke and an isolated native-screen HTTP prompt smoke passed. Updated guide, changelog fragment and PR evidence distinguish this follow-up verification from the earlier full integration/browser run.

- Around line 2451-2452: Update the bottom-border search in
`hermesNeedsTerminal` to stop at the first nonempty line that is not a panel
side, so it cannot associate a later box’s border with the matched panel. Keep
the search limited to lines following the matched panel and preserve the
existing `end` calculation.

Thank you, @RikiSanjayaa, for the careful work here.

Command and skill discovery is a feature, and CONTRIBUTING asks for a maintainer's yes on a feature request before it is built. #867 doesn't have one, so we're not taking it in this form. Instead I checked whether anything in it fixes a bug on main:

  • "A terminal released while another app held it restores typing … before the new output stream arrives" (the input-ready change in PaneTerminal): does not reproduce as a user-visible bug. I set up the exact path on main: a second bridge got attach_held, its holder let go, and it reattached fresh with no attach-resumed. The first pty-data arrived 1 ms after input-ready (herdr redraws on attach), and typing right away reached the pane.
  • The Hermes-only fixes in the changelog (/profile redraws, reload chips, pager text) are fixes to this PR's own new cards, so they go with the feature.

If you'd still like discovery, please open a feature request so the scope can be agreed first. Closing this for now.
