Consolidated upstream sync

Integrates block/buzz:main @ e5efd047050f5e2a64fe6cd9e3faed1685b03f5c (44 commits, 546 files) into dcm-production. Supersedes the stale automation sync PRs #4, #9, and #10, which stop short of the current upstream head.

Recovery tag (pre-sync dcm-production = 7cf2c003997a): dcm-before-upstream-20260804-184918-e5efd047050f — verified present on origin and pointing at the current production head.

Conflict resolutions (3 files)

File Conflict Resolution
desktop/src-tauri/src/initial_window.rs add/add — both sides added the same reveal helper Took upstream's version; the two differ only in comment wording, code is identical. Reduces future drift.
desktop/src-tauri/src/lib.rs both sides appended invoke handlers Union: kept DCM message_read_aloud commands, added upstream agent_voice commands.
mobile/.../channel_detail_page.dart DCM read-aloud vs upstream's relocated shared read-state module, richer deep-link effect, and new floating composer dock Kept DCM read-aloud imports/effect; adopted upstream's shared read-state paths and deep-link effect. MessageReadAloudBar now renders inside the composer dock (height counts toward the dock inset) with a fallback instance when the composer is hidden — preserves the previous always-available behavior.

Semantic conflicts caught by the test gate (2 follow-up commits)

  • 20a89361d — upstream widened TtsPipeline::new_with_voice with activity_app (huddle film-strip levels). Read-aloud is not a huddle participant; passes None, matching the TTS settings preview call site.
  • 9181269c4 — upstream's new channel navigation flows dispose ChannelDetailPage inside the build phase; the read-aloud dispose effect's synchronous provider write threw in 3 upstream tests. Stop is now deferred to a microtask and skipped when the provider container is gone.

Migration notes (deployment gate)

One new migration: migrations/0027_channels_id_lookup_index.sql.

  • Purely additive: CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_channels_id_live (covering, partial). No table/column changes.
  • Backward compatible: the previous binary runs unchanged against the post-migration schema, so this is safe with live deployment enabled.
  • Operational note: the SQLx migration version advances, so the deploy script's automatic image rollback will refuse if the candidate fails health checks; recovery is operator review — the schema itself needs no recovery action (worst case DROP INDEX idx_channels_id_live). Brief SHARE lock on the small channels table during index build.

DCM surface verification

  • deploy/, .github/workflows/dcm-production-deploy.yml, and the DCM docs are byte-identical to current dcm-production — upstream touched none of the DCM deployment trust boundary.
  • DCM read-aloud (desktop + mobile) preserved and adapted; validated by the full local gate.
  • No credentials, env contents, or production data in the diff.

Test evidence (local, at branch head)

  • just ci (fmt, clippy, desktop lint/tests/build, Tauri check/clippy/tests, web build, unit tests, mobile tests): all recipes pass through desktop/web at 20a89361d; the only failures were the 3 mobile route-disposal tests fixed in 9181269c4 (mobile diff only — non-mobile tree identical between the two commits).
  • flutter test test/features/channels/channel_detail_page_test.dart at head: 76/76 pass.
  • Full just mobile-test rerun at head: in progress locally; GitHub CI Mobile job is authoritative on this head.

Merge method: merge commit (preserves upstream ancestry). Merging deploys the VPS only — no mobile or desktop client is published by this PR.

### What changed?

Mobile now recovers live subscriptions after retryable or rate-limited
relay `CLOSED` responses. It ports the existing desktop model: classify
terminal versus retryable closures, honor retry hints through a
session-owned rate-limit gate, retry with bounded backoff, and replay
visible-channel subscriptions first in bounded batches.

Channel refreshes also retain unchanged live subscriptions instead of
clearing and recreating them. This is desktop parity, not a new relay
policy.

### Why?

On reconnect or resume, mobile replayed its retained live subscriptions
while `channelsProvider` independently cleared and recreated roughly the
same set, alongside unread catch-up and open-channel requests. The relay
allows 50 REQs per 5 seconds, so users in many channels could
predictably exceed the budget. In live reproduction, 55 subscriptions
produced 9 rate-limit closures, 60 produced 18, and 80 produced 36.

Mobile then treated every live `CLOSED` as terminal, removed the
affected subscription, and never restored it. Channel updates could
remain dead until a later session reconstruction. This is the primary
causal chain behind
[BOT-1449](https://linear.app/squareup/issue/BOT-1449/buzz-mobile-posted-messages-dont-appear-until-leavingre-entering-the).

Desktop already handles this as normal transient pressure by classifying
closures, gating and backing off retries, pacing reconnect replay, and
retaining unchanged subscriptions. This change brings mobile to the same
recovery model while removing the avoidable request burst.

### How is it tested?

Full mobile suite: 721 passed, 1 skipped. Analyzer and formatting checks
pass. Required CI checks pass.

Added and updated tests cover `CLOSED` classification, retry hints,
rate-limit gating, bounded retry and reset behavior, terminal failures,
timer cleanup, history gating, visible-first batched replay, and
retention of unchanged subscriptions.

…g keystrokes (block#4411)

## What

Fixes the create-agent dialog's "Run on" provider config fields eating
keystrokes — reported by Tyler in buzz-remote-agents (channel
`29414326`, thread `db76677a`): the Kubernetes **Kubeconfig context**
field would not accept typing.

## Why it happened (the Typewriter Eraser, shipped in block#4289)

`WhereToRunSection`'s probe `useEffect` depended on the whole `draft`:

1. every keystroke changed the draft → effect re-fired → provider binary
re-probed;
2. each probe result is a fresh object written into the draft → the
effect re-triggered **itself**, respawning the provider binary in a loop
for as long as the dialog sat on a provider;
3. every probe resolution reset `providerConfig` to schema defaults —
erasing whatever was typed. A field with no schema default (`context`)
snapped back to empty, i.e. "won't let me type". Unrelated to how many
kubeconfig contexts you have.

## Fix

- **Probe once per provider selection**, keyed on the provider's stable
`binaryPath` — not the draft, not the provider object (a
`useBackendProvidersQuery` refresh must not reprobe an unchanged
selection).
- **Latest-state resolution** via `React.useEffectEvent` + a new pure
`applyProbeResult` helper: schema defaults merge **beneath** the current
`providerConfig`, so a probe landing after the user typed can never
clobber in-flight input (per Wren's pre-patch red-team: changing deps
alone leaves a stale closure).

Existing `cancelled` cleanup keeps provider-switch/unmount safe;
selection reset (`emptyWhereToRunDraft`) and the fail-closed probe-error
path are unchanged.

## Tests

- **Unit** (`whereToRunIntent.test.mjs`): `applyProbeResult` merge
semantics — defaults under typed values, user-cleared fields stay
cleared, schema-less results, unrelated fields preserved.
- **E2E** (new `where-to-run-config.spec.ts`, added to the smoke
project, **red-first verified**: all 3 fail against the unfixed
component):
- typing into a defaultless provider field sticks, and
`probe_backend_provider` fires exactly once per selection;
- the config form is gated on probe resolution (slow probe: no
half-rendered form, defaults prefill once);
  - provider → local → provider re-probes and resets cleanly.
- Mock bridge gains `backendProviders` / `backendProviderProbeResult` /
`backendProviderProbeDelayMs` seams (defaults preserve prior behavior).

## Verification at 8eb7680

- `pnpm check` + `tsc` clean, `pnpm test` 3926/3926;
- new spec 3/3 green (and 3/3 red on the unfixed component);
- pre-push lefthook: desktop-test, desktop-check, desktop-tauri-checks,
rust-tests, mobile-test all green.

…block#4524)

## Summary

Official Linux desktop packages (`.deb` / AppImage) are built without
`--features mesh-llm`, so they ship the `mesh_llm_stubs` backend and
Settings → Compute always fails with `mesh-llm feature not enabled`.
This PR adds the feature flag to the two Linux build commands:

- `release.yml` → `release-linux` job
- `linux-canary.yml` → canary build

That's the whole diff — 2 lines. Fixes block#3788 (Linux); see also block#3841
(dup with UI-gating PR block#3914) and the Windows twin block#2836/block#3223.

## Why no native prebuild step (unlike the macOS job)

The macOS job carries Metal llama prebuild/cache steps from block#798. Linux
doesn't need an equivalent:

- `mesh-llm-host-runtime` is compiled with `dynamic-native-runtime` and
installs the recommended runtime on first use (verified by sha256
checksum over HTTPS; upstream's signature verification path is not yet
implemented — default policy is `RequireChecksum`, per
`mesh-llm-runtime-install/src/lib.rs`)
(`desktop/src-tauri/src/mesh_llm/mod.rs` —
`initialize_mesh_native_runtime`), so release builds work on clean
machines without bundling llama.cpp.
- Upstream publishes Linux x86_64/aarch64 runtime bundles for the pinned
`v0.74.0` line, and `scripts/ensure-mesh-native-runtime.sh` already maps
`meshllm-native-runtime-linux-x86_64-cpu` / `linux-aarch64-cpu` for
local/e2e use.
- The unmerged branch `micn/mesh-node-download` (`96f29417a`) treats
even the macOS prebuild steps as removable dead weight for the same
reason.

## Background

The omission is historical drift, not a decision: Linux packaging
predates the mesh feature flag (block#693), mesh became opt-in for
build-cost/reliability reasons (block#823, block#1183), and block#1221 re-enabled it
for releases by editing only the macOS build line. `release-linux` and
the later `linux-canary` copy were never revisited.

The mesh shutdown hard-exit/relaunch path is gated `all(mesh-llm,
target_os = "macos")` because ggml/Metal destructors abort on macOS;
ordinary mesh shutdown (`shutdown_mesh_runtime`) is cross-platform, so
Linux falls through to the generic path.

## Validation

- [x] `./bin/cargo check --manifest-path desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
--features mesh-llm` green at base `2c0ac2467` (feature graph compiles
at the pinned v0.74.0 line)
- [ ] Linux canary run with this change: AppImage/.deb build succeeds
and binary contains real `mesh_llm` symbols (not `mesh_llm_stubs`)
- [ ] Installed package: cold-start → Settings → Compute → runtime
download → serve → clean shutdown

The last two need a Linux run/host. **Note (from review):**
`linux-canary.yml` is `workflow_dispatch`-only and its `Require main`
step rejects non-main refs, so the canary cannot run on this branch
pre-merge — and `.github/workflows/**` matches no ci.yml paths-filter,
so this PR's own CI does not exercise the changed lines. Validation
sequencing is therefore merge → dispatch linux-canary on main →
live-package pass, with a trivial 2-line revert as the escape hatch.

…ue model override (block#3580)

All seven normalized config fields resolve through sanitized
`InheritedConfigTiers` passed wholesale to `read_config_surface`. The
reader's precedence tiers now match spawn's Layer 2b exactly — including
harness-definition env — and the equal-value model-override regression
is fixed.

## Changes

**`config_bridge/types.rs`** — add `InheritedConfigTiers`: persona env,
global env, harness definition env, structured model/provider/prompt for
both tiers. Add `HarnessDefault` `ConfigOrigin` variant for
harness-definition env values.

**`commands/agent_config.rs`** — `build_inherited_tiers` now resolves
the harness definition env using the same lookup path as spawn
(`record.runtime` → `persona.runtime` → empty string) and applies
`sanitize_inherited_env` to it. `resolve_config_surface` is unchanged in
shape — tiers passed to the reader now include `definition_env`.

**`config_bridge/reader.rs`** — `env_candidates` extended to 4-element
return (record, persona, global, definition). All five field builders
that use env candidates now include the definition-env slot below global
env and above the structured block, matching spawn Layer 2b. Magic
`configured[..6]` slice replaced with `configured[..configured.len()-1]`
(named split: all non-file candidates). Equal-value model-override arm
falls through to the normal resolve path instead of early-returning
`RuntimeOverride`, so the panel shows the baseline origin (e.g.
`BuzzExplicit`) rather than a spurious "Live override" label for a no-op
switch.

**`config_bridge/reader_tests_ext.rs`** — three new Layer 2b tests:
definition env beats structured persona model, global env beats
definition env, reserved-key-absent fallthrough.

**`commands/agent_config_tests.rs`** —
`genuine_explicit_live_switch_to_same_model_yields_clean_field` updated
to assert `origin == BuzzExplicit` (not `RuntimeOverride`); wrapped in
`with_no_goose_config` for hermeticity. New
`reserved_key_in_definition_env_shaped_map_is_stripped_by_sanitize` test
pins the shared sanitization contract.

**`AgentConfigPanel.tsx` / `types.ts`** — `HarnessDefault` origin
variant wired end-to-end: TS union type and provenance sentence
("Inherited from harness definition").

…int dialog (block#4140)

Fixes a write-once dead-end in the card mint dialog where a user with an
expired OpenAI key had no way to replace it.

**Source-aware key status (Rust + TypeScript).** `card_mint_key_status`
returns a layer discriminant (`"none" | "global" | "persona" | "agent" |
"process"`) instead of a boolean. A pure `resolve_key_layer()` helper in
`card.rs` owns the classification logic; `card_mint_key_status`
delegates to it, so the production path is under direct test with no
duplicate logic.

**Mint form always reachable.** The key panel replaces the mint form
only for `none` (first-time setup) or when the user explicitly opens the
edit panel (`editingKey`). Keys from agent/persona/process layers show
an inline provenance row on the mint form with a "Why?" affordance;
clicking it shows the read-only redirect in a panel with a Cancel button
that returns to the mint form — never a terminal state.

**Precise auth-error matching.** The 401 handling in `cardMintStore.ts`
matches `startsWith("Card mint failed (HTTP 401 ")` plus the specific
`Incorrect API key` text, so avatar-fetch 401 errors pass through
unchanged.

**Tri-state key status row.** "Using your saved OpenAI key · Update"
renders only when `keyLayer === "global"` (confirmed writable key).
Query pending or errored hides the row without asserting key existence.

**Real tests.** Panel visibility derivations live in
`cardMintKeyUtils.ts`, which `AgentCardMintDialog.tsx` imports directly.
Tests cover all layers including the mint-reachability invariant (Mint
reachable for every resolved layer; only `none` gates setup).

- `card.rs` — new `resolve_key_layer()` pure helper;
`card_mint_key_status` delegates to it; 999 lines (under the 1000-line
ratchet)
- `card/tests.rs` — precedence test calls `resolve_key_layer()` directly
(no test-local closure); adds process-layer and blank-value cases
- `tauriPersonas.ts` — `CardMintKeyLayer` type; updated
`cardMintKeyStatus` signature
- `cardMintKeyUtils.ts` — `showKeyPanel`, `showReadOnlyRow`,
`showCancelButton`, `keyPanelTitle`, and helpers; component imports all
of them
- `AgentCardMintDialog.tsx` — inline provenance rows for all key
sources; key panel only for setup/edit; no unused variables
- `cardMintStore.ts` — precise 401 prefix matching
- `e2eBridge.ts` — `card_mint_key_status` stub returns `"global"` (not
boolean)
- Tests: 3959 JS passing, 2089 Rust passing, `tsc --noEmit` clean

…key (block#4406)

Two different credentials were presented under the same name throughout
the app. The top-level credential field for non-Anthropic providers
(OpenAI, OpenAI-compatible, OpenRouter) was labeled "OpenAI API Key" via
a hardcoded binary ternary repeated in three dialogs. The card-minting
key (`OPENAI_API_KEY`) and the runtime credential
(`OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY`) have independent endpoint namespaces and
consumers (`OPENAI_COMPAT_BASE_URL`/`OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY` for runtime,
`OPENAI_BASE_URL`/`OPENAI_API_KEY` for minting) and must remain separate
— either may require a different credential. This PR makes them
impossible to confuse in the UI.

## Changes

**Provider-accurate labels from the credential table.**
`PROVIDER_CREDENTIAL_CONFIG` entries now carry an `apiKeyLabel` paired
with `secretEnvVar` as a discriminated union (both present or neither —
a future provider cannot ship a secret field with no label).
`getProviderApiKeyLabel(providerId)` is the single source of truth. The
three hardcoded ternaries in `AgentConfigFields`,
`AgentInstanceEditDialog`, and `AgentDefinitionDialog` are replaced by
this helper. Labels: `openai` → "OpenAI Runtime API Key",
`openai-compat` → "OpenAI-compatible Runtime API Key", `openrouter` →
"OpenRouter API Key" (was incorrectly "OpenAI API Key"), `anthropic` →
"Anthropic API Key" (unchanged).

**Field names its backing env var.** `PersonaProviderApiKeyField`
renders the env var name as a monospace hint beneath the label with
`aria-describedby` wiring. All three call sites pass their
`secretEnvVar`. A user who sees `OPENAI_API_KEY` in the mint dialog can
now confirm at a glance that the credential field shows
`OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY` — a different key.

**Signpost visible at the decision point.** `CARD_MINT_KEY_ANNOTATIONS`
is exported from `agentConfigOptions.tsx` (single source) and passed as
`keyAnnotations` to all three generic env editors: both `EnvVarsEditor`
branches in Agent Defaults, `EditAgentAdvancedFields`, and
`PersonaAdvancedFields`. `CardMintKeyCue` — a new small component —
renders an always-visible muted cue beneath the Advanced toggle when
`OPENAI_API_KEY` is present in global env (Advanced is collapsed by
default, so the per-row annotation is invisible until the cue guides the
user to open it).

**Model discovery error copy.** The `OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY required`
message now reads "Enter an OpenAI runtime API key
(OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY) to load OpenAI models." — naming the env var
explicitly so it cannot be confused with the mint key.

## Tests

- `getProviderApiKeyLabel` helper: pinned correct label per provider
including the new distinct labels for `openai` and `openai-compat`
- `PersonaProviderApiKeyField` render: semantic label present; env-var
hint rendered when `envVarName` provided; `aria-describedby` wired to
hint id; hint and describedby absent when prop omitted
- `EnvVarsEditor` render: annotation appears exactly once on the
matching row; absent for non-matching rows
- `personaModelDiscoveryStatus`: pinned new copy naming
`OPENAI_COMPAT_API_KEY` explicitly
- Playwright: stale `"OpenAI API Key"` selectors updated; new
`card-mint-key-cue-visible-and-annotation-in-advanced` test covers
Will's exact path (databricks_v2 global provider + saved
`OPENAI_API_KEY` → cue visible before opening Advanced → annotation
present after opening)

…k#4539)

## What

When editing an agent, show where it runs. The edit dialog previously
showed nothing about the backend; the "Where to run" section only
existed in the create flow. This adds a read-only **Run on** section to
`AgentInstanceEditDialog`:

- **Local agents:** "This computer".
- **Provider agents (e.g. Kubernetes):** the provider id plus its saved
config rows — context, namespace, image, resources, etc. — with labels
humanized from the stored keys and rows in provider-schema order
(locators first, request/limit pairs adjacent, alphabetical spillover
for unknown providers).
- Copy states these are the settings **saved at creation** and that the
run location can't be changed afterwards (a new agent is required).

## Design decisions (from thread review with @wren + @sami)

- **No provider probe on edit.** `info` is executable work, and its
schema reflects the plugin *today* (including a freshly generated random
namespace default) — not what this agent was deployed with. The stored
record is the only honest source.
- **Saved settings, not effective settings.** Optional fields a record
omits (e.g. `service_account`) are defaulted by the provider at deploy
time; we render only what was persisted and never synthesize today's
defaults.
- **Safe rendering of opaque provider config.** Values render as safe
scalars only; arrays/objects degrade to a summary row (React throws on
object children — a hand-edited record must not crash the dialog).
Falsy-but-present values (`0`, `false`) render honestly. Secret-shaped
keys are redacted using the same word-split heuristic as the create-time
`validate_provider_config` gate — one definition of "looks like a
secret". The gate already blocks such keys on every app write path;
display-side redaction is screenshot hygiene and covers hand-edited
records.
- **`backendAgentId` intentionally excluded:** deploy-time runtime state
written on start, not saved creation intent.
- **Read-only, no form state.** The backend is immutable post-create
(`UpdateManagedAgentRequest` has no backend field), so the section
renders straight from `agent.backend` with no reset effect.
- `ADVANCED_FIELDS_MOTION_TRANSITION` was duplicated in both agent
dialogs; hoisted to `agentConfigOptions` (also keeps the edit dialog
inside the file-size ratchet).

## Testing

**Category:** fix
**User Impact:** Users can save password-protected identity backups
directly to protected macOS folders such as Downloads.

**Problem:** Signed macOS builds could not save a portable `.ncryptsec`
backup to Downloads because the atomic writer created an unauthorized
sibling temporary file. This surfaced as an “Operation not permitted”
error after the user completed backup creation.

**Solution:** Portable exports now write only to the exact path
authorized by the native Save panel, sync and verify the saved bytes,
and refuse to truncate an existing backup. Buzz’s app-managed backup
retains its atomic writer and durability guarantees.

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/export_util.rs**
Clarifies that secret exports use a dedicated writer compatible with
native Save-panel authorization.

**desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/identity.rs**
Routes portable NIP-49 exports through the Save-panel-compatible writer
while preserving canonical app state.

**desktop/src-tauri/src/key_backup.rs**
Adds an exclusive-create portable writer with owner-only permissions,
disk sync, byte verification, and cleanup on failure. Keeps the existing
atomic writer for app-managed backups.

**desktop/src-tauri/src/key_backup_tests.rs**
Covers portable export permissions, absence of sibling files, and
preservation of existing backups.

</details>

## Reproduction steps

1. Install a signed macOS build containing this change.
2. Open **Settings → Profile → Private key → Create backup** and
complete backup creation.
3. Save a fresh `identity.ncryptsec` file into `~/Downloads` and confirm
Buzz reports success.
4. Open and verify the saved backup with its password.
5. Repeat the save using an existing filename and confirm Buzz preserves
the existing file and asks for a new filename.

## Verification

- Full desktop Tauri suite: 2,049 passed, 14 ignored
- Diagnostic suite: 3 passed
- Focused backup coverage: 30 passed
- Tauri clippy (`--all-targets -D warnings`), Rust formatting, and `git
diff --check`: passed
- Push hooks: org safety, branch skew, and desktop Tauri checks passed

Signed-production Downloads smoke remains required after merge because
the signing workflow is restricted to `main`.

## Summary

- move **Channel templates** from Communities to Personal settings
- always expose the template picker in New Channel, using **None** as
the no-template value
- create a channel template directly from the picker and select it on
return
- preview the selected template's current visibility, canvas, agents,
and teams
- order the channel-creation controls as **Type / Visibility /
Template** and mark Template **Optional**
- cover populated and empty libraries, inline creation, selection,
visibility overrides, mixed agent/team inventory, field order, optional
labeling, and settings navigation in Playwright

## Validation

Validated at desktop-only tip `76442270c88aa1d533ddca5de9f87cd615183919`
with a clean worktree:

- focused channel-template Playwright: 2/2 passed
- Type / Visibility / Template ordering and muted Optional treatment
visually inspected in the replacement screenshot
- `git diff --check origin/main...HEAD` passed
- PR diff contains exactly nine Desktop files and no Mobile files

The pre-push hook was bypassed only for the corrected history push
because the inherited Mobile test `keeps follow mode off while a tall
newest message stays visible` passes in Linux CI but fails on macOS
because its offscreen-child mounting assertion is platform-sensitive. No
Mobile code or tests are changed by this PR.

…aned Node (block#4382)

This PR fixes two Windows-specific install failures: Windows Defender
blocking the bare `irm|iex` PowerShell install command, and managed Node
shims pointing at a version-bumped (now-absent) Node directory.

The Defender block (Trojan:Win32/Commando.A!ml) fires before PowerShell
runs and is not clearable via Allow. The Node orphaning means shims in
the managed npm prefix resolve but fail at runtime with 'node not
recognized' because they reference the deleted old Node path.

- Replace all three Windows CLI install commands (Goose, Claude, Codex)
with a two-step shape — `Invoke-RestMethod` to a named temp file, then
execute — to eliminate the dropper signature; a new
`windows_install_command!` macro in `discovery/windows_install.rs`
generates all three strings at compile time so the shape cannot drift
between runtimes
- `$ErrorActionPreference='Stop'` aborts on download failure instead of
falling through to a missing-file exit-0; `exit $LASTEXITCODE`
propagates the vendor script's own exit code
- Add `probe_node(executable, expected_version, timeout)` as a bounded
seam: stdout goes to a temp file (not a pipe) so no exit path can block
on an inherited handle; the child runs in its own process group on Unix
so an unconditional group SIGKILL on every exit path terminates all
descendants; on Windows `taskkill /T /F` provides the same tree-wide
cleanup; `managed_node_runtime_ready()` is a thin wrapper that resolves
the managed Node path and calls the seam
- Add `resolve_adapter_path()` in `managed_node.rs`: resolves the
candidate first, then calls `should_invalidate_adapter()` — a pure
predicate that returns `true` only when the resolved path is under
`buzz_managed_npm_bin_dir()` AND the managed Node runtime is orphaned;
external adapters outside the managed prefix are always preserved

Note: CI cannot reproduce the Defender block (no live Defender ML
classifier). Proof of fix is structural — the command shape no longer
matches the dropper signature. Canary validation on a real Windows
machine with Defender enabled is the definitive check.

## The bug

buzz-agent emitted its `usage_update` notification in exactly one place:
after `ctx.run()` returned. Until that moment a turn's token counters
lived only in the prompt task's stack frame. **A turn killed mid-flight
reported nothing at all** — the provider had already billed every round
it completed, and no consumer ever saw any of it.

That is not a corner case for anything that ends a turn on a clock. It
is the normal case for a long-horizon benchmark run that relaunches its
agent between phases.

## How big

Measured against a provider's own billing ledger over one run's window:

| | provider ledger | what we recorded |
|---|---|---|
| the relaunched lead seat | $485 / 348M tok | $98.99 / 90.3M tok |
| the two seats that were not relaunched | $29.90 / 856M | $25.81 / 765M
— reconciles |

97% of that run's usage rows came back all zeros, against 1–4% for
comparable runs that never relaunch. In one 450-phase trial exactly 7
phases recorded any usage — and each of those carries 177k–437k input
tokens, a whole session's worth landing in the one phase that happened
to end gracefully.

Worth being precise about what was *not* wrong, since both were
plausible and both were checked:

- **Not pricing.** The rates were verified against the provider's
endpoints API and match what we charge.
- **Not a truncation bug.** The usage files were intact and internally
consistent. The tokens were never captured in the first place.

## The fix

The run loop now emits a session-cumulative `usage_update` after every
usage-bearing provider response, so an interrupted turn has reported
everything but its single in-flight request.

- **Emitting more than once per turn is already part of the contract.**
buzz-acp's `UsageTracker` advances its committed baseline only at
publish time, and goose behaves the same way — which is why the tracker
was written to tolerate it.
- **The turn-start session baseline is snapshotted into `RunCtx`** so
the mid-turn figure stays *session*-cumulative. A turn-local number
would be discarded by a high-water-mark consumer and lose the turn
entirely; there is a test for exactly that.
- **Snapshot by value, not a session handle.** The loop reports once per
round, and taking the sessions lock on each would serialise concurrent
sessions behind one another's provider round-trips. Nothing else
advances those counters while the turn holds `busy`, so it cannot go
stale.
- **One shared `wire::usage_update_payload`** for both call sites, so
the mid-turn and end-of-turn shapes cannot drift. A drift there would
present as tokens silently vanishing, which is the failure this
reporting exists to prevent.

## Why not a SIGTERM handler

That was the obvious shape and it does not work. At signal time the
counters are not sitting anywhere a handler could reach — they are in
the turn's stack frame, and the value the handler would need has not
been folded into the session yet. Making usage durable *during* the turn
is what actually fixes it; once it is, a handler adds nothing beyond the
in-flight request, whose cost is unknown until its response lands.

## Tests

- `usage_is_reported_after_each_round_not_only_at_turn_end` — two
rounds; asserts the **first** notification carries round 1's counts
alone, proving it went out before round 2 returned.
- `mid_turn_usage_includes_earlier_turns` — a mid-turn report must be
session-cumulative, not turn-local.

buzz-agent 18/18 on the `fake_llm` suite, 382 unit. `cargo fmt` /
`clippy` / `cargo check --workspace --all-targets` clean.

## Scope

Agent-side only, against `main`. The matching harness change — settling
usage on the timeout path, which was skipped on the reasoning that an
incomplete turn has nothing to flush — is **block#4553**, against the
benchmark branch, since that harness does not exist on `main`.

## Summary

production follow-mode boundary predicate
- retain the jump-to-latest assertion as the visible consequence of
follow mode remaining off
- leave production behavior and desktop PR block#4549 unchanged

## Why

`ScrollablePositionedList` may keep an offscreen item mounted within
cache extent on macOS while Linux does not. Mounting therefore does not
establish whether reversed-list item 0 is at the latest boundary. The
replacement reads the list's public `itemPositionsNotifier` and applies
the same `index == 0 && abs(itemLeadingEdge) < 0.01` contract used by
`message_list.dart`.

### Summary

Fixes [this
issue](buzz://message?channel=e62570dd-33ad-42c5-b92b-75f2689f9694&id=b726c366abfe62429ee3cdcd34d0c0fb98c33c3ea053480585bed71745412b56):
> I often don’t see my bot responses until after I post. they’re usually
time stamped correctly so I think it’s just a refresh issue?

### What changed?

Buzz Mobile now reconnects relay sessions after the app has remained
backgrounded beyond the existing 5-second grace period, even when the
session still reports a stale `connected` state. This makes resume
recovery independent of whether iOS runs the grace timer before or after
delivering `resumed`.

Reconnection is now based on elapsed background time rather than a
direct socket-health probe.
- If the app was backgrounded for at least the 5-second grace period,
the socket is presumed dead and the session reconnects regardless of
reported status.
- If it was backgrounded for less than that, a reported `connected`
status is still trusted.

In the sub-5-second window the socket is either genuinely alive, which
is the common case for a momentary background, or it is dead and the
client ping detects it within the two-interval worst case described
below. That is now a degraded-latency path, not a silent-forever path.

The mobile relay socket now uses `IOWebSocketChannel.connect` with a
30-second `pingInterval`. An unanswered ping closes the Dart socket
through the existing disconnect and reconnect path.

Detection takes up to two ping intervals, so about 60 seconds worst
case, not 30. One interval of idleness elapses and a ping is sent, then
a second interval elapses with no pong and the socket closes. Any
inbound pong restarts the first stage, so the clock measures idleness
rather than running on a fixed cadence.

### Why?

Buzz iOS can sometimes stop showing new bot or agent responses after a
phone has been locked for 5 to 10 minutes. When the user later posts a
message, the missing responses can appear all at once. iOS may suspend
Buzz before the short delayed cleanup that would normally close its
connection has a chance to run. Before this change, Buzz trusted the
resulting stale healthy status on resume and skipped reconnecting, so
the missing responses stayed hidden until a later post exposed the dead
connection.

A state-machine test with a stubbed connection reproduced this reported
pattern and showed that it matches this failure mode: the failed post
triggered a reconnect that fetched the missing messages. The same test
also checked the other candidate explanation, the bug tracked in
[block#3053](block#3053), where the relay has
closed the app's subscription. That state does not produce the pattern.
Posting succeeds and the user's own message appears, but nothing looks
for the missed messages, so they stay hidden. The test confirmed that
the missed messages were still available to fetch in that state, so the
missing step was a trigger to fetch them. This was not an end-to-end
reproduction on an iOS device or a live relay.

The new resume check covers the normal lock and unlock path. If the app
was backgrounded for less than the 5-second grace period, it still
trusts a connection marked as healthy. A dead connection in that window
is instead detected by the ping check, which can take up to about 60
seconds but prevents the app from remaining silently stuck. The ping
only runs while iOS is running the app, so it does not detect a
connection that died during suspension; the resume check owns the lock
and unlock path.

A pre-existing path also runs the same resume handling when network
connectivity returns while the app is already in the foreground. Because
the app was not backgrounded, this change does not alter that path,
which still trusts a connection marked as healthy and relies on the
slower ping check.

Recovery from a subscription that the relay explicitly closes remains in
[block#3053](block#3053), and the two changes
overlap in one file. Changes to how missed messages are backfilled or
replayed are out of scope.

### How is it tested?

Full mobile suite at base and head. Both runs have the same known
macOS-host-only failure in `ChannelDetailPage keeps follow mode off
while a tall newest message stays visible` at line 1053:

- Base: 1,021 passed, 1 skipped, 1 failed
- Head: 1,025 passed, 1 skipped, 1 failed

Added tests:

-
[`relay_session_test.dart`](https://github.com/block/buzz/tree/main/mobile/test/shared/relay/relay_session_test.dart):
long-background resume reconnect and within-grace control
-
[`relay_socket_liveness_test.dart`](https://github.com/block/buzz/tree/main/mobile/test/shared/relay/relay_socket_liveness_test.dart):
silent-peer disconnect and idle-but-healthy control

Mutation checks confirm that removing elapsed-background resume recovery
fails with one socket instead of two, and removing `pingInterval` leaves
the silent peer connected. Restored production code passes both
mutations' regression tests and the healthy idle control.

## Summary

Gate 1 only for desktop release caching:

- replaces canary `rust-cache` use with explicit exact-key
`actions/cache/restore` + `save`
- computes keys after `cargo update --workspace`, including platform,
target, Rust toolchain, Cargo manifests/locks, profile/features, and
native-toolchain inputs
- normalizes only the desktop package version so a trusted `main` canary
can warm an otherwise identical release tag
- excludes Tauri bundle directories, so installers and signed artifacts
are never cached
- adds a restore-only `cache-proof-*` tag workflow that fails unless tag
scope sees the exact default-branch cache
- adds contract tests that enforce no release-workflow cache change in
Gate 1

`release.yml` is intentionally unchanged. A cache miss remains the
current cold canary build; the release path cannot be affected by
merging this PR.

## Validation

- `scripts/test-desktop-release-cache-key.sh`
- `scripts/test-desktop-release-cache-workflow.sh`
- `scripts/test-release-ref-contract.sh`
- Ruby YAML parse of all four changed workflows
- `git diff --check`
- pre-push `branch-skew`

## Post-merge proof plan

1. Run each canary cold on trusted `main`, recording cache size/save
time and fresh artifact inventory.
2. Run each canary warm, requiring the exact-key hit and recording
restore/build time.
3. Create a disposable `cache-proof-*` tag at that same trusted `main`
SHA and dispatch **Desktop release cache tag-scope proof** from the tag.
4. Do not begin Gate 2 or modify `release.yml` unless the exact
tag-scope restore succeeds and cache transfer economics are favorable.

**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Users can skip default model configuration during
onboarding and finish it later in Settings → Agents.

**Problem:** Requiring model defaults during onboarding can block users
who are not ready to choose a harness, provider, or model. Skipping also
needs to leave existing configuration untouched rather than persisting
partial selections.

**Solution:** Stage onboarding edits locally and persist them only when
users choose Next or Back. A delayed Skip action advances without any
configuration write, while a footer hint points users to the settings
location for completing setup later.

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**desktop/src/features/onboarding/ui/DefaultConfigStep.tsx**
Adds the skip action and future-settings hint, and makes model
configuration transactional so Skip discards staged changes while Next
and Back preserve the intended save behavior.

**desktop/src/testing/e2eBridge.ts**

zero-write skip from a write-and-rollback implementation.

persistence calls, and confirms Next and Back still commit changes.

</details>

## Reproduction steps

1. Start fresh onboarding and continue through harness setup to
**Configure your default model settings**.
2. Change the selected harness or model, then choose **Skip for now**.
3. Confirm onboarding advances to **Join or create a community** and the
prior global model configuration remains unchanged.
4. Return through onboarding and confirm **Next** saves the staged
selection; confirm **Back** also preserves staged changes before
returning.
5. Confirm the footer says model defaults can be configured later in
**Settings → Agents**.

## Summary

- show an unambiguous `App default (10)` inherited state for parallelism
in create and edit forms
- explain that blank inherits the app default and suppress create-form
number steppers that could silently set `1`
- align the E2E mint fallback with production while preserving explicit
input → definition → app-default precedence

## Why

The forms displayed `1` even though an untouched field is omitted and
desktop minting materializes `10`. The create-form spinner could also
turn blank/inherited into an explicit `1` with one click while leaving
the field looking nearly unchanged.

## Testing

- `pnpm test` (desktop: 3,886 passed)
- `pnpm typecheck` (desktop)
- `pnpm check` (desktop)
- pre-push `desktop-check` and `desktop-test`

**User Impact:** Long custom emoji names now stay contained inside
reaction popovers and remain fully readable.

**Problem:** An unbroken custom emoji name could force a reaction
popover beyond its intended maximum width and overflow the message view.

ellipsis. Short names retain the same content and interaction behavior.

<details>

characters.
2. Hover or focus the reaction pill to open its details popover.

## Overview

The global Agent Defaults surface (Settings card, defaults modal,
onboarding) exposed structured controls for Effort but left Max Output
Tokens, Context Limit, and Max Rounds as raw env vars. Per-agent dialogs
had structured numeric fields but only for `isBuzzAgentRuntime` —
incorrectly excluding Goose. This PR unifies numeric-tuning capability
across all surfaces, fixes a pre-existing dual-editor defect, and adds
full test coverage.

## What changed

### Phase 1 — Catalog projection

- Add `max_rounds_env_var` to `KnownAcpRuntime` in `runtime_metadata.rs`
(`Some("BUZZ_AGENT_MAX_ROUNDS")` for buzz-agent, `None` elsewhere).
- Project all three numeric env-var fields (`max_tokens_env_var`,
`context_limit_env_var`, `max_rounds_env_var`) end-to-end:
`AcpRuntimeCatalogEntry` Rust struct, TS `types.ts`,
`RawAcpRuntimeCatalogEntry` + `fromRawAcpRuntimeCatalogEntry` in
`tauri.ts`, and the e2e mock bridge (`withMockRuntimeConfigMetadata`).

### Phase 2 — Field model

- `deriveAgentConfigFieldModel` now derives `maxOutputTokens` /
`contextLimit` / `maxRounds` descriptors from catalog-projected fields.
- `structuredEnvKeys(descriptors)` — exported helper that takes the
**rendered** descriptor set (not the whole model). Hidden keys follow
what is actually rendered per surface: global hides effort + all three
numeric keys for buzz-agent / two for Goose; per-agent buzz-agent hides
effort + three numeric keys; per-agent Goose hides only its two numeric
keys. `BUZZ_AGENT_THINKING_EFFORT` stays a visible generic env row
per-agent because no effort control renders there.

### Phase 3 — UI

- Extract `NumericTuningFields` from `buzzAgentModelTuningFields.tsx` as
a shared descriptor-driven component (`descriptors`, `envVars`,
`inheritedEnvVars`, `onEnvVarChange`). Kind-specific minima:
`NUMERIC_KIND_MIN` map (`maxOutputTokens`/`contextLimit`: 1,
`maxRounds`: 0) applied to `<input min>`.
- **Global surface** (`AgentConfigFields.tsx`): deduplicate the
previously duplicated Advanced env-editor block; render
`NumericTuningFields` below the env editor when descriptors exist;
`hiddenKeys` and `bakedGenericRows` exclusions use `structuredEnvKeys`
so structured keys are never double-rendered. Under 1000 lines.
- **Per-agent surfaces** (`EditAgentAdvancedFields`,
`PersonaAdvancedFields`): replace `isBuzzAgentRuntime` as the
numeric-field gate with `deriveNumericDescriptors(selectedRuntime)` from
`agentConfigCore`; hidden keys come from
`structuredEnvKeys(numericDescriptors)` — the same rendered descriptor
set, no local rebuilding (fixes pre-existing dual-editor defect).
Catalog status carried as `RuntimeCatalogStatus` (`loading | ready |
error`); both error and loading withhold structured controls and leave
saved values visible as generic rows, making error distinguishable from
"runtime not capable" (`ready` + no runtime).
- **Dialogs** (`AgentDefinitionDialog`, `AgentInstanceEditDialog`,
callers): `AgentDefinitionDialog` accepts `runtimeCatalogStatus?:
"loading" | "ready" | "error"` (replaces separate
`runtimesLoading`/`runtimesError` booleans); all call sites —
`AgentManagementDialogs`, `AgentsView`, `RequestedAgentCreateDialogs`,
`UserProfilePersonaDialogs` — compute and pass the status.

### Phase 4 — Tests

- `buildRecord` exported from `EnvVarsEditor.tsx` as a pure `(nextRows,
value, requiredKeys, hiddenKeys) => Record<string, string>` helper for
isolation testing.
- **17 new node tests** in `agentConfigCore.test.mjs`:
`deriveNumericDescriptors` (all three fields, partial, undefined
runtime, matches field-model subset); `structuredEnvKeys` per surface
including discriminating Goose per-agent effort-key invariant;
`NUMERIC_KIND_MIN` values.
- **4 new node tests** in `EnvVarsEditor.test.mjs`: hidden tuning key
preserved through generic row edits; runtime-switch then generic edit
(derives both descriptor sets, asserts new-runtime hidden key survives
`buildRecord` via `hiddenKeys` and old-runtime key survives via generic
rows); baked numeric key excluded via `filterBakedGenericRows` with
`numericTuningPlaceholder` assertion; clearing a structured override —
`numericTuningPlaceholder` verifies placeholder text.
- **5 new Playwright tests** in `agent-numeric-tuning.spec.ts` (added to
smoke project `testMatch`): global numeric fields visible for
buzz-agent; global: non-capable runtime hides numeric controls; Goose
per-agent shows `Inherit (16384)` after saving global value through the
UI; delayed catalog: saved values visible as generic rows while loading
then structured controls appear after settle; failed catalog: saved
values remain visible as generic rows (never the "unsupported" empty
state).

## Result

- buzz-agent global defaults: Max output tokens, Context limit, Max
rounds as structured inputs with `Inherit (N)` placeholders from baked
env.
- Goose global defaults: Max output tokens, Context limit as structured
inputs.
- A Goose global value surfaces as `Inherit (<value>)` in the per-agent
Goose edit dialog.
- No structured key is editable in two places on any surface; no
persisted key has zero editors.
- No `runtime.id === "buzz-agent"` comparison decides numeric-field
visibility anywhere — capability flows catalog →
`AcpRuntimeCatalogEntry` → field model → UI.

## Overview

**Category:** improvement  
**User Impact:** Mobile users can now access consistent channel and DM
actions from both the channel list and conversation header.
**Problem:** Mobile channel menus exposed a narrower, inconsistent set
of actions than desktop, and the available actions differed by entry
point.
**Solution:** This change introduces one reusable action sheet with a
clear quick-action hierarchy, role-aware lifecycle controls,
confirmations for consequential actions, and a deliberately narrower DM
menu.

## Changes

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_actions_sheet.dart**  
Adds the shared channel and DM action-sheet experience used by both
entry points, including Star/Unstar and Read/Unread quick actions for
channels, section movement, mute, management, inline copy actions,
guarded lifecycle actions, confirmations, and a compact DM menu without
quick actions.

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_detail_page.dart**  
Routes the header ellipsis through the shared action sheet so the
in-channel menu matches the channel-list experience, including for DMs.

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_management_provider.dart**  
Adds archive and delete operations using the desktop-compatible relay
event kinds and refreshes channel state after completion.

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channels_page.dart**  
Makes the shared channel action-sheet entry point available to the
channel-list implementation.

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channels_page/channel_tile.dart**  
Replaces the tile-specific long-press menu with the reusable action
sheet while preserving read state and section context.

**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_actions_sheet_test.dart**  
Covers action hierarchy, owner/admin/member capability guards, loading
and failure states, DM narrowing with no quick-action row, and inline
copy actions.

**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_detail_page_test.dart**  
Updates channel-header flows to exercise management through the new
shared action sheet.

**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_management_provider_test.dart**
Verifies archive and delete event tags stay compatible with desktop
behavior.

</details>

## Reproduction Steps

1. Run the mobile app and open a populated channel list.
2. Long-press a regular channel and verify the Star/Unstar and
Read/Unread quick actions appear above Move to section…, Mute, Manage,
Copy channel name, and Copy channel ID.
3. Choose either copy action and verify it copies the expected value.
4. Open a channel, tap the header ellipsis, and verify the same action
sheet appears.
5. As an admin or owner, verify Archive appears; as an owner, verify
Delete also appears. Confirm that lifecycle actions require
confirmation.
6. Long-press or open the header menu for a DM and verify it has no
quick-action row and starts with Mute, followed by Copy channel name and
Copy channel ID.

## Summary

- open Huddles in a focused companion window with a clean handoff back
to the in-app drawer and backing channel
- redesign the participant film strip, sidebar control, transcript
surface, and themed shell treatment
- preserve microphone and device control across windows, start agent
voice on the first reply, and show agent speaking activity in the film
strip
- give each agent a distinct session voice, beginning with the
configured default, plus compact per-agent text-to-speech and voice
controls
- enroll only agents explicitly mentioned or deliberately added through
an agent panel into the live Huddle roster
- keep temporary Huddle channels out of the sidebar unless the user
explicitly brings one into the main app
- remove Huddle-only avatar policy badges and filter short silence or
noise segments before speech-to-text posts

## Why

The previous flow exposed the temporary channel as product UI, obscured
who was present or speaking, and split transcript and audio state
between the main and companion windows. This keeps backing channels as
implementation details unless a user explicitly brings a Huddle into the
app, while sharing the live conversation and audio lifecycle across both
surfaces. Agent participants now join only after an explicit invitation,
distinct voices make multi-agent Huddles easier to follow, and short
microphone noise no longer becomes stray transcript messages.

**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Mobile readers can jump directly to their oldest unread
message and return to the latest message with compact directional
controls.
**Problem:** Opening an active channel at its newest message makes it
easy to miss where unread conversation began, while moving back through
history lacks a lightweight route to the live edge.
**Solution:** Capture the channel's unread boundary when it opens, offer
an accessible up-chevron beneath the app bar to reach that stable
target, then reveal the inverse down-chevron at the bottom whenever the
reader is away from latest. Deep links retain precedence, and
live-follow, pagination, composer resizing, and explicit scroll
ownership continue to use the existing timeline behavior.

<details>
<summary>File changes</summary>

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_detail_page.dart**
Captures the channel's read state at open time and passes a stable
unread snapshot into the timeline before the normal deferred read update
advances it.

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_detail_page/message_list.dart**
Adds mutually exclusive oldest-unread and latest navigation, with
accessible icon controls positioned at opposite edges of the message
surface while preserving existing follow and deep-link behavior.

**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_detail_page_test.dart**
Covers the unread target, compact inverse controls, accessible tooltips,
and placement beneath the frosted app bar.

</details>

## Reproduction steps

1. Open a Flutter mobile channel that has unread messages without
entering through a message or thread deep link.
2. Confirm an up-chevron appears directly below the channel app bar
while the timeline remains at latest.
3. Tap the up-chevron and confirm the timeline scrolls to the oldest
message that was unread when the channel opened.
4. Confirm the unread control is replaced by a down-chevron at the
bottom of the timeline.
5. Tap the down-chevron and confirm the timeline returns to latest and
resumes following new messages.

**Category:** improvement
**User Impact:** Mobile users can sort each channel group by recent
activity or A–Z, with their choices synchronized with desktop.
**Problem:** Desktop supports persistent per-group channel sorting, but
mobile shows the same groups without equivalent controls or shared
preferences. The earlier mobile attempt coupled sorting to unsafe
dirty-state behavior that could overwrite newer cross-client changes.
**Solution:** Add mobile sorting controls and encrypted NIP-78
synchronization using the existing desktop `channel-sort` contract,
while retaining ordinary whole-blob last-write-wins behavior. Local
state is scoped by identity and normalized relay, startup closes
fetch/subscription gaps, and both clients use the same deterministic
ordering rules.

<details>

**desktop/src/features/sidebar/lib/channelSortPreference.test.mjs**
Updates ordering coverage for the deterministic, cross-client A–Z
comparison rule.

**desktop/src/features/sidebar/lib/channelSortPreference.ts**

## Summary

- ship **Buzz Term** end to end: the terminal engine/runtime, mounted
desktop substrate, and user-visible naming
- add Quinn's tape-deck-inspired banner: a beveled chassis filled by the
`buzz term` wordmark, surrounded by a complete-hex field
- derive the wordmark's three-stop sweep from each theme's terminal
palette so primary, secondary, and accent roles remain visibly distinct
across all 62 shipped themes, including light themes
- paint the banner once on its own pointer-transparent canvas; PTY
rendering beneath it remains unchanged

## Banner behavior

- uses the renderer's shared `8.4 × 17` cell metrics and production
aspect ratio `2.0238`
- regenerates only for viewport/theme changes; palette switches repaint
correctly while the banner is visible
- dismisses on non-empty output from the active terminal session; empty
output and inactive sessions do not dismiss it
- fails closed below **70 columns** rather than squeezing or clipping
the wordmark
- adds **8 lines** to `terminalRenderer.ts` for shared cell metrics and
**zero lines inside `paint()`**

  - all six named banner emitter-deletion mutants die

- layer-drop and zero-draw painter mutants die; z-order and

  - CI's `tsc && vite build` includes all three banner modules
- performance at DPR 2 (worst-case measured envelope):
- one-time content paint: **~0.7–0.8 ms**, paid only when the banner is
built or its palette changes
- busy compositor, CSS `1277 × 697`, backing `2554 × 1394`: **470–497
µs/frame** for the full banner (**2.82–2.98%** of a 60 Hz frame)
- busy compositor, CSS `1920 × 1080`, backing `3840 × 2160`:
**1,139–1,212 µs/frame** (**6.83–7.27%**)
- empty, one-glyph, and full-banner controls converge: compositor cost
follows backing-layer area and DPR rather than painted-cell count
- in the actual idle welcome state, cost is below both vsync-clamped
rigs' resolution; it is not claimed as zero
- **Pane cross-rig spread: resolved at matched loop rate.** Two
independent rigs initially differed 2.3× (58–68 vs 136 µs/Mpx of backing
store; pane, CSS 1277×697 / backing 2554×1394, DPR 2). The cause of
*that* spread is rAF loop rate: the higher figure came from a
free-running loop at ~1600fps. Throttled to ~200–236fps, both rigs read
58–68 µs/Mpx (1.25–1.44% of a 60Hz frame). The busy-composite figures
quoted above remain the **unthrottled worst case** and are conservative
by ~2.3× at the pane. Not established: the mechanism and sign of
free-running distortion (one rig under-charges ~15%, the other
over-charges 2.3×), and the 1080p figure has not been re-measured
throttled.
- the layer paints only on generation/theme/resize and dismisses on
first non-empty active-session output, so the measurable busy cost is a
short-lived worst case rather than a persistent PTY paint-path tax

## Follow-ups in this PR

These are intentionally subsequent commits after the certified
static-banner head, not claims about `98ebc8f90`:

1. close the compositor metrology: remeasure the 1080p point throttled
and characterize the opposite-sign free-running rAF distortion, with
each measurement regime stated
2. add Tyler's animated honeycomb color waves, gated by
`prefers-reduced-motion`, a full 62-theme phase-sweep contrast check,
and DPR-2 per-tick performance certification
3. land the already-proven mounted theme-switch regression probe from
`RESEARCH/BUZZ_TERM_G3A_PROBE/`
4. bound the slow/hang-shaped G1-c mutant `waitFor`
5. optionally trim the generator to its ink bounding box, reducing the
minimum viewport from 70 to 62 columns

…lock#2392) (block#4374)

## What

Fixes block#2392 — the action cards in the empty-channel intro ("Create
agent", "Add people") had their `focus-visible` ring clipped by the
surrounding scroll container.

## Root cause

The cards sit in a `flex ... overflow-x-auto pb-1` row. Setting
`overflow-x` (without `overflow-y`) makes the browser compute
`overflow-y: auto` as well, so the container clips anything painted
outside its padding box — including the cards' `focus-visible:ring-2`
box-shadow. With only `pb-1` padding, the top/left/right of the ring
were cut off when Tabbing to a card.

## Change

`desktop/src/features/messages/ui/ChannelIntroBlock.tsx` — `pb-1` →
`p-1` on the action-cards scroll container, reserving 4px on all four
sides so the focus ring renders fully inside the scroll container's
padding box.

- 1 file, 1 line. No behavior change for mouse users or layout.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean
- `pnpm exec biome check src/features/messages/ui/ChannelIntroBlock.tsx`
— clean
- `pnpm check:file-sizes` — clean
- Desktop unit suite — **3906/3906 pass**

## Summary

- send desktop messages immediately while media uploads continue in
background state across channel navigation
- show immediate progress above the composer and keep Jump to latest
above it
- report the real media stages as Preparing, Processing, Converting,
Uploading, and Finishing
- use Buzz's shared spinner during local media work, then switch to the
real percentage when byte transfer begins
- animate phase-label and status-suffix changes without overlap or
layout jumps
- keep cancel, progress fill, message publication, and community-reset
behavior coordinated with the background task
- use raw Tauri IPC for large browser files so renderer-side byte
serialization does not block initial feedback

## Why

Desktop previously blocked sending while attachments uploaded in the
composer. Large videos could also pause the renderer before progress
appeared, and the progress pill said Uploading while native media
processing was still underway. This makes the initial response immediate
and describes the work actually happening.

## Validation

- `cd desktop && pnpm check`
- `cd desktop && pnpm typecheck`
- `cd desktop && pnpm test` (3,931 passed)
- `cd desktop && pnpm exec vite build --mode e2e`
- `cd desktop && pnpm exec playwright test
tests/e2e/file-attachment.spec.ts --project=smoke` (11 passed)
- focused native media tests (80 passed)
- native Clippy with all targets and features
- pre-push native suite (2,107 passed, 14 ignored; 3 diagnostics passed)

Updated phase snapshots are included in the PR comments.

Split from block#4512 so the desktop and mobile changes can be reviewed
independently.

…ty + consumer cost guidance (block#4632)

Amends `docs/nips/NIP-AM.md` with three normative publisher-behavior
changes per the cleared Usage v2 plan (plan v3, D4 + D2').

## Changes

### 1. Cache emission semantics (D4)

Replaces the unconditional `MAY` with qualified obligations:

- Publishers SHOULD emit `cacheReadTokens` / `cacheWriteTokens` when the
provider exposes a cache component.
- Publishers MUST preserve an explicit zero when the provider reports
zero.
- Publishers MUST omit the field (never null or fabricated zero) when
that component is unavailable to the publisher — including when the
provider supports it but the harness does not surface it.

An explicit carve-out in both the JSON comment block and the
Numeric-validity prose exempts these fields from the payload-wide null
guidance. Omission is the only valid representation for an unavailable
cache component.

### 2. Optional `pricingIdentity` field (D2')

Adds an optional, non-nullable `pricingIdentity` object (`authority`,
`model`, `cacheClass`), defined as billing authority — distinct from the
transport `Provider` enum.

- `authority` is a registered billing-namespace identifier: exact
lowercase hostname, no scheme, no path, no trailing slash. Registered
values: `api.anthropic.com`, `api.openai.com`, `openrouter.ai`. The set
extends only by NIP amendment. Pricing lookup is an exact string match
on `(authority, model)`.
- Present only when the publisher can prove applicability: direct
official-endpoint connections prove via the actually-requested resolved
model; other routes MUST receive response-supplied authoritative billing
identity.
- MUST omit for custom/overridden base URLs, gateways (unless the
gateway is the named billing authority), unresolved aliases, and turns
where usage contributions carry more than one billing identity
(including identity-bearing mixed with unresolved).
- `cacheClass` is omitted (not null) when not applicable.
- `pricingIdentity` is optional but not nullable — omission is the only
absence representation.
- The existing `model` field retains its non-billing semantics
(configured/session model) and is never overloaded.
- Consumers MUST treat omission as "price unknown" and MUST NOT infer a
price from the session `model` field.

### 3. Consumer cost guidance (D4)

- Consumers MAY recompute cost estimates using the billing identity and
a pricing manifest.
- Consumers MUST retain the provenance of any cost value (e.g.
`manifest-estimated`, `wire-reported`).
- Consumers MUST NOT merge manifest-estimated and wire-reported costs
into an unlabeled total.

Manifest-vs-wire display preference is application policy and
deliberately excluded from this NIP.

Doc-only. Single file: `docs/nips/NIP-AM.md`.

## Overview

Agents running in Buzz have no built-in awareness that each channel is
an isolated conversation context. When a human mentions work "you" are
doing in another channel, the current session can misread this as its
own active context and try to coordinate, re-plan, or take ownership of
it — causing confusion and wasted turns.

## What changed

Added a `## Session Model` section to
`crates/buzz-acp/src/base_prompt.md`, inserted immediately after the
opening paragraph and before `## Buzz CLI`. The section explains:

- Each channel is a separate session; multiple sessions of the same
agent identity may be active simultaneously.
- Sessions share core memory, workspace, and relay — but not
conversation context or in-flight reasoning.
- Cross-channel work belongs to the owning session by default; the
current session may take it over only when the human explicitly requests
it.

No runtime code changes. Base prompt only.

## Why

Buzz restores cached channels and messages before profile lookups
complete. On launch, that briefly exposes pubkey-derived labels in place
of familiar display names.

## What

- Persist a bounded, relay-scoped cache of last-known display names,
NIP-01 names, and NIP-05 handles
- Seed batch profile queries from those labels immediately, while
keeping them stale so the existing relay request revalidates them
- Keep cached data presentation-only: avatars and ownership metadata are
not persisted or used to seed profile-detail caches
- Remove cleared or missing profiles, purge a relay's labels when its
community is removed, and include the cache in local-storage quota
recovery
- Add unit coverage for parsing, bounds, eviction, malformed data, and
cleared profiles
- Add an E2E regression that delays the relay profile response and
verifies the cached name is rendered first

## Risk Assessment

Low. The cache is disposable, capped at 1,000 entries per relay, scoped
by normalized relay URL, and always revalidated. It contains only public
label fields and does not restore avatars, agent ownership, or
authorization state.

## Verification

- `just ci`
- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm test` — 3,727 passed
- `pnpm exec playwright test tests/e2e/channels.spec.ts --grep "cached
profile labels"` — passed

Generated with Codex
## Summary

- Keep selected sidebar rows regular by default; manually unread rows
become bold immediately.
- Apply a clearer dark-mode hierarchy: standard inactive rows at 75%,
muted rows at 45%, and unread rows at full emphasis.
- Keep hover text color stable while retaining the selected-row and
unread cues.

## Validation

- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm build:e2e`
- Playwright: sidebar badge and channel-mute coverage

)

The "Restart required" badge reports that an agent's running config has
drifted from its spawn-time config, but never says what changed. This
ships the full feature: a typed Rust diff engine and a TS/UI layer that
renders it at every badge site.

## Rust core (spawn-snapshot diff engine)

Replaces the lossy `u64` `spawn_config_hash` with a typed
`SpawnConfigSnapshot`. The snapshot is stamped from the already-resolved
command/env/config values immediately before `spawn()`, closing the race
window where a mid-spawn config edit would suppress the badge.

`SpawnConfigSnapshot::canonical()` is the single JSON projection shared
by the badge and the diff. Drift is `to_value(stamped) !=
to_value(current)`; the diff is a generic leaf walk over those same two
values, so badge-on and diff-non-empty are structurally guaranteed.
Adding a snapshot field reaches the UI with no code change to the diff
engine — `mutation_table_covers_every_serialized_field` fails CI if a
new field arrives without a mutation row.

`eligible_restart_diff(persona_orphaned, Option<TrackedSpawnState>)`
returns the final vector — snapshot walk entries plus a synthetic
`adapter_availability` entry. It returns empty for an orphaned instance
(spawning one would fail) and for agents with no tracked spawn state
(never stamped, can never have drifted). `needs_restart =
!restart_diff.is_empty()` derives from that vector and nothing else.

Redaction policy (`policy_for(path)`) is shared by the wire diff and the
snapshot's manual `Debug` via `is_safe_to_reveal()` from
`managed_agents::env_vars` as the single authority for env-key masking:

| Policy | Paths | Rendering |
|---|---|---|
| `Text` | `system_prompt`, `team_instructions` | character counts only
|
| `MaskedBare` | `args`, `relay_url` | `••••`, no suffix |
| `MaskedSuffix` | non-allowlisted `env.*` | `••••` + last 4 chars when
longer than 8 |
| `Plain` | allowlisted `env.*` (`BUZZ_AGENT_THINKING_EFFORT`,
`BUZZ_AGENT_PROVIDER`, `BUZZ_AGENT_MODEL`, `DATABRICKS_HOST/MODEL`) and
everything else | verbatim |

Default-deny: every env key not in the explicit allowlist stays masked.
`is_safe_to_reveal()` is the single allowlist authority for both the
baked-env display and the diff.

`restart_diff` is omitted from the wire when empty
(`skip_serializing_if`).

## TypeScript / UI layer

New `restartDiff.ts` module defines `RestartDiffEntry`, `RestartChange`,
`JsonValue`; `tauri.ts` and `types.ts` re-export and add `restart_diff`
/ `restartDiff` fields (Rust omission → `restartDiff: []`).

**`RestartDiffBadge`** — hover tooltip capped at 6 entries + "and N
more", `asChild` span trigger (never inside a `<button>`), auto-restart
blurb below the diff list (on/off variant from `autoRestartEnabled`
prop; same `AUTO_RESTART_ON_BLURB` / `AUTO_RESTART_OFF_BLURB` constants
shared with the Runtime-tab banner). **`RestartDiffList`** renders the
full uncapped list for the Runtime-tab banner with `tooltip`/`inline`
presentation variants for correct foreground in both surfaces.

**`ManagedAgentRow` B4 fix** — badge moved to a sibling `div` of the row
expansion button; tooltip trigger has no `button` ancestor.

**`UnifiedAgentsSection`** — both badge sites render
`<RestartDiffBadge>` instead of a raw `<Badge>`, with
`autoRestartEnabled` threaded from `agent.autoRestartOnConfigChange`.

**Side-panel fix** — `RestartDiffBadge` rendered tab-independently in
the `ProfileSummaryView` hero area (was Runtime-tab only — root cause of
the ~50% inconsistency Will reported). Hero badge is `self-center` in
the flex column. `ProfileRuntimeTabContent` early-return checks
`needsRestart` so the banner is never dropped when all other content is
empty. Auto-restart blurb in the Runtime-tab banner uses the shared
constants.

## Wire shape

```jsonc
"restart_diff": [
  { "field": "model",              "change": { "kind": "value",  "before": "gpt-5", "after": "claude-4" } },
  { "field": "system_prompt",      "change": { "kind": "text",   "before_chars": 1234, "after_chars": 1410 } },
  { "field": "env.OPENAI_API_KEY", "change": { "kind": "masked", "before": "••••bc12", "after": "••••xyz9" } },
  { "field": "env.BUZZ_AGENT_THINKING_EFFORT", "change": { "kind": "value", "before": "medium", "after": "high" } }
]
```

`added`/`removed` occur only for dynamic-map keys; nullable struct
fields always serialize as `null`; arrays are atomic leaves (`args`,
never `args.0`).

## Tests

**Rust** — 1902 passing: snapshot mutation coverage, diff entry
serialization, allowlist-aware env masking
(`allowlisted_env_key_shows_plain_value`,
`allowlisted_env_key_is_case_insensitive`,
`non_allowlisted_env_key_stays_masked`),
`unstamped_agent_yields_no_badge_and_no_entries` (both orphan values),
`summary_without_drift_omits_restart_diff_from_the_wire`,
`unstamped_availability_is_not_drift`. Clippy clean, fmt clean.

**TypeScript** — `needs-restart-screenshots.spec.ts`: 11 E2E cases
registered in the smoke project — all three badge sites, tooltip +
keyboard focus, DOM no-button-ancestor assertion, 6+1 truncation,
uncapped Runtime list, unknown field humanisation, side-panel badge on
default Info tab, inactive/friendly-error Runtime opening path.

## Problem

`Command+R` (webview reload) wipes the two in-memory refs driving
sidebar channel unread badges: `observedUnreadEventsByChannelRef` and
`latestByChannelRef`. The boot catch-up REQ can only fetch events newer
than each channel's NIP-RS frontier, so thread replies that arrived
before the frontier was passively advanced (the common case) are never
re-discovered.

Inbox is unaffected because it rebuilds candidates from a relay feed
query and checks fine-grained `thread:`/`msg:` markers. The sidebar
badge path lacks an equivalent recovery mechanism.

## Solution

Persist the sidebar's per-event candidate set to localStorage as a
disposable, versioned projection cache
(`buzz-observed-unread.v1:<relay>:<pubkey>`) and hydrate it on boot
before the catch-up REQ runs.

### New files

**`observedUnreadStorage.ts`** — storage module for the cache:
- Keyed
`buzz-observed-unread.v1:<normalizedRelayUrl>:<normalizedPubkey>`
(relay-scoped to prevent cross-community leakage, matching
`threadActivityStorage`)
- Stores validated per-event `ObservedUnreadEvent` rows;
`latestByChannel` is derived at hydration — no divergent dual aggregate
- Age pruning (7d = `READ_STATE_HORIZON_SECONDS`), per-channel cap
(1000), global cap (5000) across all channels in a scope bucket
- Payload `updatedAt` for LRU ordering; registered in
`PURE_CACHE_KEY_PREFIXES` for 2 MiB eviction budget
- Field-level validation on decode; write failure is non-fatal
(session-only degradation)
- Snapshot-owning timers: `scheduleObservedUnreadWrite` deep-clones the
events map at schedule time — a late A-scope timer can never read B's
mutable refs or write under B's key

**`useObservedUnreadPersistence.ts`** — hook that owns all persistence
lifecycle:
- Scope fence: `normalized pubkey + normalized relay` identity;
`isScopeLoaded()` callback guards both projection (`rawUnread`) and
every **observed-cache mutation** (`recordUnreadEvent`, `removeChannel`,
`clearAll`) before touching refs or storage. Note: stale-scope calls to
`markChannelRead`/`markAllChannelsRead` can still affect
`forcedUnreadRef` and NIP-RS markers, which are pre-existing on `main`
and deferred to the NIP-RS arc (see Deferred below).
- Synchronous `pagehide` flush closes the Cmd+R timing gap
(`useReloadShortcut.ts` reloads within 500ms of teardown, before the
1-second debounce fires)
- Identity-reset effect: flushes old scope, resets refs, hydrates from
storage, stamps loaded scope — all atomic; cleanup flushes on unmount
- `clearAll` cancels the pending timer, resets both in-memory refs, and
clears storage in a single transactional operation; `removeChannel`
deletes the channel from both refs and replaces any pending snapshot
with the current full map — never cancel-without-replacement, preserving
sibling-channel events on reload
- Marker-prune effect on `readStateVersion`: evaluates each retained
event with `observedUnreadEventReadAt()` (the same evaluator used by the
projection memo) and removes covered events, rederiving per-channel
latest — never clears a whole channel for a single thread/msg marker
- Returns a stable `useMemo`-wrapped API object keyed on actual deps so
unrelated re-renders do not restart the catch-up REQ
- `isScopeLoaded` is a `useCallback` (not a memoized boolean) — always
reads the ref at call time, never stale

### Modified files

**`useUnreadChannels.ts`** — hook integration:
- Calls `useObservedUnreadPersistence` with all persistence wired
through the returned API
- `rawUnread`: `isScopeLoaded()` guard suppresses A-scope refs from
projecting under B
- `recordUnreadEvent`: `isScopeLoaded()` fence before touching refs;
schedules a debounced write on each successful record
- `markChannelRead` clearObserved path: calls `removeChannel` so the
cleared state survives reload
- `markAllChannelsRead`: delegates to the owner's fenced `clearAll` —
the parent does not reset the observed refs directly; `clearAll` owns
the transactional clear of both refs and storage, preventing a stale
scope-A callback from corrupting scope B

**`localStorageQuota.ts`** — registers `buzz-observed-unread.v1:` in
`PURE_CACHE_KEY_PREFIXES`

## Design constraints

The cache is a **disposable projection**: versioned key, read-through
only, safe to delete wholesale. It does not touch `ReadStateManager`,
marker semantics, or `forcedUnreadStore`. Zero overlap with the NIP-RS
manual mark-read/unread protocol work in progress in another channel;
migration path when that lands is "stop reading the key."

## Test coverage

**`observedUnreadStorage.test.mjs`** covers storage primitives:
- Key normalization, relay-scoped isolation, round-trip correctness
- Age-prune and per-channel cap on read and write; global cap across
channels
- `deriveLatestByChannel` correctness
- Thread-marker prune leaves sibling thread events persisted and lit
- Scope-isolation state machine: A rows visible in A, absent in B,
restored on A again; late A-scope write does not overwrite B's bucket
- Malformed structures/fields, relay/pubkey isolation, quota failure
degradation

**`useObservedUnreadPersistence.test.mjs`** exercises the real hook via
`createRoot` + `act`:
- pagehide flush: event recorded within debounce window survives reload
(headline regression)
- Unmount with pending write flushes before teardown
- `clearAll` cancels pending debounce so no resurrection after reload
- `removeChannel` replaces pending snapshot so sibling channel B
survives reload (two-channel repro)
- Marker prune: thread and channel markers prune covered events; sibling
channels survive
- `isScopeLoaded` returns false before identity-reset effect commits,
true after
- A→B scope switch: pending A-timer is cancelled by flush, A data
persisted synchronously (hydration round-trip)
- Stale `clearAll` from scope A rejects after scope B loads
(observed-cache scope fence)
- Stale `removeChannel` from scope A rejects after scope B loads
(observed-cache scope fence)
- API object identity stable across unrelated re-renders (catch-up
stability)

**`useUnreadChannels.test.mjs`** exercises the full parent-to-owner seam
with real hook mounts:
- Stale `markChannelRead` from scope A does not corrupt B's observed
bucket after flush
- Stale `markAllChannelsRead` from scope A does not overwrite B's bucket
after flush

## Deferred

Issues deferred to the NIP-RS arc (`#unread-messages-ux`) or future
hardening — not regressions introduced by this PR:

- **Stale-scope `forcedUnreadRef` / `markContextRead` exposure**: a
stale scope-A `markChannelRead` or `markAllChannelsRead` still deletes
B's `forcedUnreadRef` entries and advances B's NIP-RS markers via
`markContextRead` before the observed-cache fence rejects. This is
pre-existing on `origin/main` (identical shape at lines 316/330). Fix
requires touching `forcedUnreadStore` and marker paths — out of scope
for Fix A. Deferred to the NIP-RS work.
- **`isScopeLoaded` empty-scope hardening**: `isScopeLoaded()` returns
`true` when `pubkey` and `relay` are empty strings (no active session).
A guard could assert non-empty identity before stamping scope-loaded.
Low risk in practice since the hook is only mounted after auth, but
could be tightened.
- **Catch-up batch scheduling**: `handleChannelMessage` and the catch-up
loop each clone the full events map per event via
`scheduleObservedUnreadWrite`. For channels with large backlogs this
produces O(n) snapshot clones per catch-up batch. A batch-schedule API
(single snapshot at end of batch) would reduce allocations. Not
observable in normal use; deferred as a performance optimization.

Replace the stale `agent_command_override` drop logic in
`apply_persona_snapshot` with a three-tier canonical command resolver.

## What this fixes

The old code dropped a create-time harness pin when the persona switched
to a different runtime, but it had two failure modes:

1. **Preset harnesses invisible.** `known_acp_runtime_exact()` only
searches `KNOWN_ACP_RUNTIMES` (builtins). Preset harnesses such as
OpenClaw live in `PRESET_HARNESSES`, so the destination lookup returned
`None` and the outer `if let` branch never executed — a Goose→OpenClaw
persona switch left the stale Goose override in place, keeping the agent
running Goose instead of OpenClaw.

2. **Pin-side canonical resolution incomplete.** The pin was resolved by
`known_acp_runtime()`, which searches by id/command/alias and returns a
`&KnownAcpRuntime` entry correctly. However, if the *pin* named an alias
(e.g. `claude-code-acp`) and the *destination* was a preset harness
absent from builtins, the outer guard still failed for the same reason
as (1). The alias regression test pins the requirement that the
canonical resolver must handle both sides: alias pins must be recognised
and drops must fire when the destination is a known preset.

## How it works now

`canonical_harness_command(input)` accepts any form a stored override
can take — bare command, alias, path prefix, or runtime id — and
resolves it to the harness primary command through three tiers:

1. **Builtins** — `KNOWN_ACP_RUNTIMES`, matched by id/command/alias.
2. **Static presets** — `PRESET_HARNESSES`, matched by id or normalised
command.
3. **Loaded registry** — custom/preset definitions loaded at runtime.

`command_for_runtime_id` (id-only input, same three tiers) replaces the
two-step `known_acp_runtime_exact`/`lookup_loaded_harness_by_id` pattern
in `record_agent_command`, `effective_agent_command`, and
`try_record_agent_command`, adding the static preset tier so preset
harnesses resolve correctly even without a warm registry.

## Changed files

- `discovery/presets.rs` — `preset_command_for_id`,
`command_for_runtime_id`, `canonical_harness_command`
- `discovery.rs` — re-export new functions; make
`normalize_command_identity` `pub(crate)`; refactor three
command-resolution functions to use `command_for_runtime_id`
- `custom_harnesses.rs` — `loaded_harness_registry` visibility `fn` →
`pub(super)` (needed by `canonical_harness_command`)
- `persona_events.rs` — replace two-step
`known_acp_runtime_exact`/`known_acp_runtime` + pointer comparison with
canonical-command comparison
- `persona_events/stale_pin_tests.rs` (new) — four regression tests:
Goose→OpenClaw drop, OpenClaw→Goose drop, claude-code-acp alias→OpenClaw
drop, same-harness path keep
- `persona_events/tests.rs` — `sample_record`/`sample_persona` exposed
as `pub(super)` for the new test module

## Problem

`SELECT id, community_id FROM channels WHERE id = ANY($1) AND deleted_at
IS NULL` is the top **Load by waits (AAS)** on the Buzz Postgres writer.
Two independent causes compound, and both are fixed here.

### 1. No index can serve it

`channels` is `PRIMARY KEY (community_id, id)`, and every secondary
index leads with `community_id`:

| Index | Columns |
|---|---|
| *(primary key)* | `(community_id, id)` |
| `idx_channels_nip29_group` | `(community_id, nip29_group_id)` |
| `idx_channels_dm_hash` | `(community_id, participant_hash)` |
| `idx_channels_community_type` | `(community_id, channel_type)` |
| `idx_channels_community_visibility` | `(community_id, visibility)` |
| `idx_channels_created_by` | `(community_id, created_by)` |
| `idx_channels_ttl_expiry` | `(ttl_deadline)` *(partial)* |

The two tenant-independent lookups carry **no `community_id` predicate**
— deliberately:

- `Db::communities_of_channels` — `WHERE id = ANY($1) AND deleted_at IS
NULL`
- `Db::community_of_channel` — `WHERE id = $1 AND deleted_at IS NULL`

That independence is load-bearing, not an oversight: projecting a row's
*true* owning community regardless of the fetch query's `WHERE` clause
is what makes `Inv_NonInterference` non-vacuous. If the fetch ever
dropped its tenant scoping, this lookup would still report the real
label and the checker would catch the mismatch.

But a composite btree is only usable when its leading column is
constrained, so neither query can use the primary key, and nothing else
leads with `id`. **Both sequentially scan `channels` on every call.**

### 2. In production the result is discarded

Both call sites feed `record_read_message_rows` /
`record_read_by_id_rows`, which call `tracer.record(...)`. Production
binds `NoopTracer` (`crates/buzz-relay/src/state.rs`), whose `record`
body is empty.

The existing guard tests `trace_state`, which is `Some` for every
well-formed request — it only goes `None` on malformed pubkey bytes. So
the scan ran on the hot read path and its output was dropped. This is
the classic eager-argument bug: `log.debug("..." + expensiveCall())`
with no `isDebugEnabled()` check.

### 3. Multiplied per filter

The non-search call site sits **inside the phase-3 per-filter loop**, so
a `REQ` carrying N filters performed N sequential scans of `channels`
before responding.

## Changes

**`Tracer::enabled()`** — a capability check on the trait (the
`isDebugEnabled()` of this seam), defaulting to `true`. `NoopTracer`
overrides it to `false`, and both emitters in `req.rs` now gate on it,
skipping the trace-only DB read entirely in production.

**`migrations/0027_channels_id_lookup_index.sql`**

```sql
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_channels_id_live
    ON channels (id) INCLUDE (community_id)
    WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
```

- `INCLUDE (community_id)` — both queries select exactly `(id,
community_id)`, so this is covering and can be served index-only.
- Partial on `deleted_at IS NULL` — matches both predicates exactly,
excludes soft-deleted history, and lets Postgres skip the recheck.
- **Not `UNIQUE`.** `id` alone is *not* unique in this table —
`command_executor.rs` documents that `community_of_channel(channel_id)`
is ambiguous because the same channel id can appear under more than one
community. A unique index would encode a false constraint and fail to
build on any database already holding such a pair.

Worth keeping the index even though fix #1 removes the production
caller: it still runs under conformance, and `community_of_channel` has
the same problem on its own paths.

**`schema/schema.sql`** — mirrored, since a test asserts desired-state
parity.

## Conformance is unchanged

This is the part worth reviewing closely. Under a real tracer
`enabled()` returns `true` and **every emit happens exactly as before**
— the gate only skips *building* emit inputs when nothing observes them,
never an emit that would otherwise have been made. The coverage-breach
guard stays non-vacuous.

`CountingTracer` forwards `enabled()` to its inner tracer rather than
inheriting the `true` default. Both directions matter and both fail
silently:

- inheriting `true` over a `NoopTracer` would keep the overhead this PR
removes;
- hardcoding `false` over a live tracer would suppress the emits whose
absence `EmitGuard` reports as `ImplBug` — masking real breaches behind
expected ones.

Covered by a new regression test,
`counting_tracer_delegates_enabled_to_inner`, which asserts delegation
in both directions.

## Verification

- `cargo check -p buzz-conformance -p buzz-relay` — clean
- `cargo clippy --all-targets` — clean, zero warnings
- `cargo test -p buzz-conformance` — 6/6
- `cargo test -p buzz-relay --lib conformance` — 11/11
- `cargo test -p buzz-db --lib migration` — 7/7
- `just test-unit` (pre-push) — green

Migration-count assertions in `crates/buzz-db/src/migration.rs` were
bumped 26 → 27, with content assertions for 0027 following the existing
per-migration pattern (including a guard that it never becomes
`UNIQUE`).

## Open questions for reviewers

1. **Lock strategy.** Built *without* `CONCURRENTLY`, following
migration 0004's precedent, because sqlx runs each migration inside a
transaction and `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY` cannot run in one. This
takes a brief `SHARE` lock on `channels` (blocks writes, not reads) —
small relative to `events`, but an operator preferring zero
write-blocking can pre-build it by hand and `IF NOT EXISTS` makes the
migration a no-op. I could not confirm whether sqlx 0.9 supports a `--
no-transaction` directive; if it does, that may be preferable.

2. **Diagnosis is static.** This comes from reading the source, not from
`EXPLAIN` against the live database. Worth confirming with `EXPLAIN
(ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` on the writer before/after — that also sizes the win
by revealing the real table size and row counts.

3. **Expected impact** scales with average filters-per-`REQ`, which I
did not measure. `pg_stat_statements` ordered by `total_exec_time` would
confirm this query drops off the top and show whether anything else is
scanning the same way.

## Summary

- replace Buzz Term's full-app takeover with a resizable bottom dock
inside the channel content surface
- add a discoverable channel-header button plus hide and
maximize/restore controls
- create PTYs lazily and keep separate, persistent terminal workspaces
per channel
- capture immutable channel/thread context on every terminal session

## Multiple-channel behavior

The dock is a single surface, but its tabs are partitioned by channel.
Switching channels swaps to that channel's sessions without terminating
background PTYs; returning restores them. New tabs capture the currently
visible channel/thread context.

## Verification

At commit `7ca087f8e08c80528387684364a65bf4ccd6315f`:

- `pnpm --dir desktop typecheck`
- `pnpm --dir desktop test` — 4,129 passed
- pre-push repository hooks — desktop check/test, Tauri checks, terminal
Rust suites all passed

## Problem

Users report the desktop app doesn't reliably reconnect and can wedge in
states where only CMD+R (or a full restart) restores connectivity
(thread `c2205e2b` in #desktop-reconnecting).

Pinky's empirical light-switch matrix (real `buzz-relay`, SIGTERM/1012 +
SIGKILL × 1s/45s/3min, at `f18a9cb10`) passed 4/4 — the backoff state
machine recovers cleanly from ordinary relay loss. That isolates the
user-stuck states to four special cases a reload resets but the auto
flow never did.

## Fixes

| Gap | Change |
|---|---|
| **G1** — recovery rode solely on the backoff timer (max 30s),
throttled by WKWebView in occluded/background windows; nothing fired on
network return or wake | New `useRelayResumeTriggers`: `online`, window
focus, and visibility→visible call `preconnect()` when the session is
`reconnecting`/`stalled`, rate-limited to one attempt per 5s
(`relayResumeTriggerPolicy.ts`). Deliberately inert for the terminal
`disconnected` state. |
| **G2** — any AUTH `OK false` latched the session terminal forever,
though the relay also rejects for transient causes (duplicate-AUTH
"already authenticated" race, ±60s clock skew, fail-closed allowlist DB
errors) | New `AuthOkTracker` (`relayAuthPolicy.ts`): "already
authenticated" resolves as success; transient rejections retry with
normal backoff; latch only on `restricted:` or after 3 consecutive
rejections. |
| **G3** — an `auth-required:` CLOSED (REQ racing AUTH after reconnect)
permanently deleted the live subscription with no UI signal — frozen
channel while state reads "connected" | Reclassified `auth-required:` as
retryable in `relayClosedPolicy.ts`. Genuinely terminal classes
(`restricted:`, `invalid:`, …) still delete. Can't loop: a truly
unauthenticated session latches terminal at the connection level. |
| **G4** — `useRelayAutoHeal` observed the 2s-debounced connection hook,
so sub-2s flaps never triggered the heal even though `resetConnection`
had already rejected every in-flight query | Auto-heal now observes the
raw connection-state emitter. The existing 15s heal rate-limit still
guards against flap storms. |

Each fix is a colocated pure-policy module + unit tests, matching the
existing `relayReconnectPolicy`/`relayClosedPolicy` pattern.

## Validation

- Full desktop unit suite: **4151 pass, 0 fail** (at branch tip, `pnpm
-C desktop test`)
- `pnpm -C desktop typecheck` and `pnpm -C desktop check` clean
(file-size ratchet respected — `relayClientSession.ts` net −2 lines
despite the tracker wiring)
- Evidence trail: `RESEARCH/DESKTOP_RECONNECT_CMDR_GAP_AUDIT.md`
(audit), `RESEARCH/DESKTOP_RECONNECT_LIGHT_SWITCH_RESULTS.md` (Pinky's
matrix)

## Not covered / follow-ups

- Native macOS sleep-wake was not automated (would kill the harness
session); G1's focus trigger is the mechanism that covers wake in
practice, but a manual sleep-wake verification on a real build is
worthwhile.
- G3 terminal-CLOSED classes (`restricted:` etc.) still silently delete
subs with no UI signal — surfacing that is a separate UX decision.
- Stall-watchdog latency (60s idle + 10s check) left unchanged; G1
triggers largely mask it.

Conflict resolutions:
- desktop/src-tauri/src/initial_window.rs: add/add with functionally identical
  code on both sides; took the upstream version to minimize future drift.
- desktop/src-tauri/src/lib.rs: union of invoke handlers — kept DCM
  message_read_aloud commands and added upstream agent_voice commands.
- mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_detail_page.dart: kept DCM read-aloud
  imports/effect/bar while adopting upstream's relocated shared read_state
  module, richer deep-link effect, and new floating composer dock. The
  MessageReadAloudBar now renders inside the composer dock (its height counts
  toward the dock inset) with a fallback instance when the composer is hidden,
  preserving the previous unconditional behavior.
