* feat(control-ui): stream live draft previews in the typing indicator
Multi-identity sessions now show what a teammate is typing, not just that
they are typing: the composer's per-keystroke session.typing sends carry a
bounded tail of the draft (optional preview field, 400 code points max),
the gateway throttle re-emits on changed payloads at 250ms (boolean-only
stays at 1s, trailing edge keeps the latest draft), and the transcript
renders a per-actor bubble with the live text plus a blinking caret.
Actors without preview data keep the three-dot bubble.
Previews are ephemeral presence: never persisted, never part of the
session transcript or model context, excluded from aria-live regions, and
gated by the existing >=2-live-viewers, sharing-role, and incognito
checks. No new config surface.
* chore(protocol): regenerate Swift gateway models for typing preview
* fix(gateway): aggregate typing previews across same-actor connections
A boolean-only session.typing update from a second connection of the same
actor (another tab or device) erased their live draft preview, because
typing liveness aggregated per actor while the broadcast preview came only
from the latest request. Preview aggregation now lives with the connection
aggregation owner: updateTypingConnections tracks per-connection previews
and returns the newest non-empty preview among live connections, so the
broadcast keeps the active draft until its connection stops or expires.
Regression fails pre-fix (event lost its preview field).
* fix(update): validate target config before handoff
Run the existing dev candidate preflight from both managed update entry points while the serving Gateway remains alive. Reject target-incompatible config before starting a handoff or scheduling restart. Closes#126269
* fix(protocol): restore gateway barrel line budget
Route SessionsPatchResult through the existing type-only schema barrel so the public export stays intact without exceeding the core max-lines gate.
* fix(ci): restore required PR gates
Keep schema-types as the registry-free wrapper, drop a redundant project schema re-export to restore the line budget, claim run-attempt-tools in one canonical shard, and align campaign tests with the new preflight boundary.
* fix: capture GitHub identity from authenticated sign-in
Automatically persist verified GitHub identities from Cloudflare Access and Tailscale Serve while keeping public Git co-author credit as a separate opt-in.

* test: keep one Codex attempt tools owner
* fix(plugins): allow profile-independent gateway reads
The cloud machine picker described each class in prose ("Cheap smoke checks
and small repos"), which was the widest thing in the row, got ellipsized, and
did not say what the operator actually picks on. Machine options now carry the
class shape and the picker renders "32 vCPU · 64 GB" instead.
Crabbox reports per-provider class shapes from `providers --json`; the plugin
reads that catalog once per lifecycle and attaches cpu/memoryGb to each option.
A missing binary, failed command, unparseable output, absent classes, or an
unmatched provider all degrade to label-only rows, so an older Crabbox keeps
working.
`description` was never released, so it is removed rather than deprecated, and
listMachineOptions becomes async for the catalog read. Deletes the duplicate
machine-option projector in the environments server method.
The Gateway owns start-or-steer at admission (6515f6a255) and no
client produces expectedRunId anymore (d84a910fc8). The field shipped
only in v2026.8.1-beta.2 - never a stable tag - so it is removed rather
than deprecated. Steer sends resolve the selected session's current
operation; the exact-match branch, the operation|run target identity
discriminator, run_mismatch rejection, and the suggestion producers'
active-run-id selection (with its ambiguity failure) are deleted.
Provider-native turn fencing (Codex expectedTurnId) is unchanged:
the backend-captured runId on the injection target remains.
* feat(gateway): proxy channel conversation avatars
* feat(discord): capture conversation avatars
* feat(slack): capture DM sender avatars
* test(discord): bind guild avatar mock
* feat(ui): render channel conversation avatars
* fix(ui): align sidebar owner fixtures
* fix(gateway): version channel-avatar routes by media revision
A stable per-session URL let AuthenticatedAvatarRouteLoader's blob and
sticky-404 caches pin a mounted row to a stale or blank avatar after the
backing media changed. Append an opaque digest of the media reference so
replacement and 404-recovery change the route identity.
* test(ui): align sidebar owner facet
* fix(ui): keep owner chip until channel avatar loads
A session with a channelAvatarUrl suppressed its owner chip even while the
blob was loading, auth was not ready, or the route 404ed, leaving an empty
lead slot. The chip now rides as fallback content inside the avatar element
and yields only to a usable image. Covers 404 and auth-pending states;
avatar rows keep renderedOwnerId unset so an owner-viewer stays visible in
the facepile.
* perf(ui): keep channel avatar fallback within budget
* perf(ui): lazy-load the channel avatar element
The avatar element and its authenticated blob loader rode the startup
bundle through session-leading-indicator, pushing startup JS 51 B over the
CI gzip budget. Channel avatars are not startup-critical: register the
element on the first avatar row; the owner-chip fallback covers the
one-time upgrade window. Startup JS returns ~1 KiB under the ceiling.
* build(ui): raise startup baseline for channel avatars
CI-measured startup JS is 344379 B against a 343289 B baseline (+1090 B).
The avatar element and blob loader are code-split out of startup (previous
commit); the residual is the sidebar lead-slot render branch and row
plumbing, which cannot be deferred. Baseline updated via
check-control-ui-performance --update-baseline with CI bytes per the
script's contract; well inside the 4096 B ratchet step and 358400 B
ceiling.
* refactor(steering): gateway-owned start-or-steer via one captured-operation lifecycle
chat.send with queue mode steer now atomically captures the selected
session's current direct reply operation under the writer barrier and
injects into exactly that operation; with no direct owner it starts a
new run instead of failing with active-leaf-changed. Client-supplied
expectedRunId keeps exact-match semantics; the transcript-branch CAS
(expectedLeafEntryId) now guards only non-steer sends.
All three steering paths (gateway chat.send, channel queue steering,
server /steer) share one begin/finalize lifecycle on the reply-run
registry, including the captured-instance abort from 5a15e1a39c.
Deleted: the duplicate accepted/rejected/unconfirmed policy machine in
steer adoption, the raw embedded /steer runtime path, the leaf-bound
injection identity and reject-before-ack compat, and the dead target
tool-authority fingerprint. messageInjectionAttempted becomes a typed
messageInjectionDisposition (none | accepted | rejected); rejected
injections take one visible followup fallback, so non-injectable
runtimes queue instead of silently dropping.
Deliberate semantics: a registry-less active embedded run is no longer
steered by raw session id (correlation-only authority) - the message
becomes a visible followup; /steer injects under its own command
authorization instead of the inbound tool-authority gate it could
never satisfy.
* docs(protocol): describe gateway start-or-steer contract for chat.send
Targetless steer is no longer a leaf-bound compatibility path that can
reject with active-leaf-changed; it targets the selected session's
current state (inject into the direct run, else start a turn).
expectedRunId stays an exact-run fence; expectedLeafEntryId is the
non-steer transcript-branch CAS.
* fix(steering): require matching tool authority for /steer injection
The authorized-sender command gate is weaker than tool-authority equality. Make /steer and gateway injection present the same projected evidence as channel steering so mismatches fall back to a normal prompt under the sender’s own authority.
* feat: credit linked session participants as co-authors
Authenticated profiles can link GitHub and receive automatic co-author credit in shared coding sessions.
* style: format rebased co-author registries
* fix: mark profile schema DDL boundary
* feat(gateway): reach a Gateway behind an identity-aware proxy from the CLI
Operator CLI surfaces (tui, attach, call, probe, onboarding, and configure) can present configured gateway.remote.edgeAuth headers to an identity-aware proxy. Headers are origin-bound, WSS-only, never follow redirects, cannot set transport-owned headers, and are redacted. Identity-proxy upgrade rejections are classified and remediated instead of being reported as an unreachable gateway.
* test(gateway): cover config-aware probe calls
Keep status probe expectations aligned with the resolved configuration forwarded for origin-bound edge-auth resolution.
* fix(gateway): preserve edge auth across wizard saves and enforce wss before secret resolution
Preserve gateway.remote.edgeAuth only when the configured Gateway scope is unchanged, and reject non-WSS targets before resolving any edge-auth SecretInput.
* fix(ui): align session owner filtering terminology
Owner filters now use owner terminology consistently across the Gateway, Control UI, and generated native protocol clients. The old terms were prerelease-only, so no migration or compatibility aliases are needed.
* fix(gateway): preserve creator provenance filtering
Keep creatorId scoped to immutable createdActor provenance while ownerId queries the current projected assignable owner. This preserves independent creator and responsibility filtering after reassignment.
* test(ui): wait for remembered draft before reload
CI exposed an IndexedDB draft-persistence race: the test reloaded before the write completed and then re-filled the message while restoration arrived. Wait on the canonical durable-draft helper before reload so the reload cannot race the write.
* fix(ui): keep session menus clear of hovercards
Horizontal sidebar previews were positioned from the inner link rect instead of the complete session row, allowing the hovercard to overlap trailing actions.
Anchor preview placement to the full row while preserving the link trigger and ownership flow so the session menu remains clickable.
* perf(ui): keep hovercard fix within startup budget
Use the sidebar direct-row invariant to anchor the hovercard outside trailing actions without a selector lookup. This preserves the fix without increasing the startup budget.
* fix(qa): preserve Matrix CLI timeout precedence
Keep the primary timeout operator-visible when descendant settlement also reports secondary cleanup trouble. Preserve the complete AggregateError as the public wrapper cause so settlement evidence remains inspectable.
* test(ui): isolate Markdown table clipboard boundary
With isolate:false, the shared module registry can retain clipboard imports before this test installs its module mock, leaving the spy disconnected from the production call.
Stub navigator.clipboard.writeText instead so the test exercises the real copyToClipboard boundary regardless of module load order, then restore the original descriptor.
* fix: show sessions waiting for concurrency slots
* test: align queued session integration fixtures
* test: distinguish queued and reactivated followups
* fix: preserve queued state in workboard and android
* fix: project queued status through chat history
* test(ui): keep queued sidebar case under line cap
* feat(gateway): carry machine class through session moves
Profile move targets accept an optional machineClass with new-session
parity: validated in the protocol, persisted on the durable move intent
(bare nullable column, lazy same-version ALTER), replayed exactly by
restart recovery, and selectable from the Control UI move dialog.
Moving to the current profile with a different class resizes the
session's worker.
* fix(gateway): project placement facts on chat startup
chat.startup and chat.history built sessionInfo without the placement
projection sessions.list applies, so clients merging that row erased a
live worker placement and its move intent — the Runs on Cloud chip
disappeared after any turn until a full reload.
Reuse the canonical ensureColumn helper for the move table's additive
column instead of a hand-rolled PRAGMA read.
* feat(agents): unify agent status into a durable progress_card
Replace the write-only update_plan to-do tool and the fragmented plan
rendering with one durable status artifact per session: progress_card
({plan?, markdown?}, replace-on-write, 8 KiB markdown / 50-step caps).
Cards persist in a lazy-additive session_progress_cards table in the
per-agent DB (no schema-version bump), broadcast progressCard.changed,
and render from the store with exactly one live placement per view
(session rail when visible, else the composer-adjacent bar); transcripts
collapse to one-line receipts, and the sidebar hovercard shows other
sessions' cards inline (markdown + <progress>, DOMPurify allowlist, no
iframes). The three stream-derived plan renderers and their dedup
heuristics are deleted.
Codex runs disable the native plan tool per thread
(tools.update_plan.enabled=false) and receive progress_card via the
dynamic-tool bridge; compaction restore now reinjects the card (steps +
bounded markdown). Card writes still emit the legacy plan stream event so
native apps and channels keep working until their per-platform
migrations. Policy names map update_plan -> progress_card; the shipped
tools.updatePlan=false kill switch is honored.
Net -277 production LOC; -480 test LOC.
* test(agents): regenerate Codex prompt snapshots for update_plan thread-config disable
* chore(protocol): allowlist progressCard.changed for native apps pending card migration
* fix(ci): repair progress card integration checks
* fix(codex): canonicalize native progress cards
* test(gateway): reconcile progress card method order
* test(codex): stabilize native approval fixture
* feat(sessions): stamp agent identity on spawned sessions and return spawn receipts
Agent-spawned sessions recorded the requesting session key as createdActor.id,
so the Control UI creator chip rendered an opaque key. Spawn producers now stamp
the canonical requester agent id; parent-authority validation moves to a new
trusted requesterSessionKey field. projectSessionActor enriches agent actors
with configured identity name/avatar at read time, and visible sessions_spawn
returns a sessionUrl + owner receipt with URL-first acknowledgement guidance.
* feat(sessions): assignable session ownership with owner facet and menus
GitHub-assignee-style ownership: sessions get a mutable owner (defaulting to
the immutable createdActor) stored in additive bare-nullable SQLite columns
with first-use lazy ensure. New operator.write sessions.assignOwner validates
targets, requires an identified caller, authorizes by session visibility, and
records assignedBy/assignedAt inside the write transaction. The sessions agent
tool gains assign_owner; the Control UI adds Assign-to-me/Assign-to menus in
sidebar rows and chat headers, renders the effective owner chip, and the
creator facet/filter now keys on effective owner. Sharing authority stays
anchored on createdActor.
* feat(sessions): record session participants and stack them in the owner chip
Records every distinct external prompter (human profile/channel sender, or a
requesting agent) per session in an additive session_participants table at the
turn-admission boundary — best-effort, deferred, never blocking the turn; the
session's own agent and viewers are never recorded, capped at 32 per session.
The session row projects a bounded participants list (owner excluded) plus a
total count with the same actor enrichment as owner/createdActor. The sidebar
chip becomes a pair-stack when others have prompted (owner front, one peeking
participant or +N behind), the chat header shows the full facepile, and an
authenticated involvingMe list filter adds an Involving-me sidebar predicate.
Participant projection is excluded from logical-session CAS equality so display
history never invalidates session writes.
* fix(sessions): identify built-in agent tool callers for owner assignment
The sessions tool's assign_owner dispatched through the in-process synthetic
client, which carries neither a signed agent-runtime identity nor a human
profile, so agent-initiated reassignment always failed with FORBIDDEN. The
tool now captures its trusted requester agent identity and carries it across
in-process dispatch as internal client state (never wire params); the handler
derives assignedBy as signed runtime identity, then trusted agent-tool caller,
then authenticated human. Live-verified end-to-end on a dev gateway.
* fix(ci): split oversized session modules and refresh prompt snapshots
Split the max-lines offenders at concept boundaries for session equality, tool overrides, and protocol owner schemas. Remove the redundant Number conversion from the node:sqlite participant count. Refresh prompt snapshots after drift from the sessions and sessions_spawn tool description updates.
* fix(ci): restore solo-mode chip suppression and conform new method descriptors
Solo-mode root cause: owner-assignment submenu options reused the permanent owner-chip custom element, so hidden menu avatars were counted as attribution chrome. Menus now use viewer avatars while gateway-gated owner chips remain exclusive to collaborative sessions.
Conform sessions.assignOwner to the 2026.8 descriptor and append-only advertised-method inventories, and regenerate the Swift and Kotlin protocol surfaces.
Keep historical v15/v14 fixtures frozen by stripping the new owner columns; the existing range already excludes the participant table. Replace the new raw SQLite schema probes with synchronous Kysely queries.
Clear max-lines by splitting the organizer host contract, pure agent-navigation projections, and ownership/filtering sidebar cases at their concept boundaries.
* fix(ci): integrate ownership series with latest main surfaces
Wire the sessions-page assign-owner action, merge capability imports, narrow the navigation export scope, and apply sessions-create formatting.
The owner-presence regression came from hidden assign-owner menu avatars emitting data-viewer-id, so owner and menu chrome now opt out of presence markers while real facepiles retain them.
* fix(sessions): scope the involving-me filter to profile-backed participants
Session participant history mixed channel-native sender ids with authenticated Gateway profile ids, so involving-me missed real sessions and could accept numeric collisions.
Record the actor_source namespace at each producer, carry it through the internal SQLite projection, and match authenticated viewers only against profile-backed human participants. Legacy NULL sources fail closed for filtering, while channel ids remain available for display.
* build(ui): raise startup budget baseline for session ownership surfaces
Ownership chips, assignment menus, and the participant stack add ~0.7 KiB
gzip to the startup path; CI compression landed just over the previous
baseline+tolerance. Hard cap (350 KiB) unchanged.
* refactor(sessions): drop raw NULL projection for the lazy actor_source column
The Kysely guardrail rejects typed raw sql snippets outside allowlisted
boundaries; select the lazily-ensured column only when present and let the
row projection treat its absence as unknown/legacy.
* build(ui): refresh combined startup baseline
* refactor(gateway,ui): one bounded display projection; delete marker strip sites
Persisted transcripts are marker-free since the write-boundary projection
(#124793), the historical migration (#124888), and TTS facts (#124913), so
display surfaces stop compensating. sessions.list.lastMessagePreview and its
siblings (sessions.preview/describe, TUI picker, sessions_list tool, MCP) now
share one bounded role-aware projection (240 chars, tool/system/thinking and
suppressed control replies excluded, directive-only rows fall through). The
web reply chip reads the typed openclawDelivery fact instead of parsing text;
chat.history preserves the field to the UI. Post-hoc display strips are
deleted across web/TUI/MCP/sessions-list; live streaming cleaners stay.
Stale gateway-protocol preview comments corrected; no schema change.
Assertion-safety baseline pruned for shrunk files (sanctioned direction).
Production net -173, tests net -137. Fixes the sidebar [[reply_to_current]]
preview leak and the empty-code-pill overstrip of quoted markers.
